YarnCraft Episode 41 :: Crafting Confessional - Stories, Tips, and Projects by Men Who Yarncraft
Tuesday, May 19th, 2009
On today’s episode of YarnCraft, the ladies of YarnCraft dedicate the episode to men who yarncraft and to the men that we yarncraft for. We share some hilarious and insightful comments from some of our male listeners, share project ideas for man-friendly knitting and crocheting, and hear from a couple of guys at the Lion Brand Yarn Studio’s monthly Men’s Night.
Find out the secrets of men from what our listeners do while knitting to what unexpected things Liz’s dad makes with Chenille Thick & Quick.
