Episode 46 – A Family Affair


It’s Passover, and (almost) the whole family is podcasting!
Melanie is in St. Albert getting ready to go to Europe, and Deborah is heading home for a visit.

Before she left New York, Melanie performed with some friends in New Jersey. Somehow, the knitting talk just couldn’t be avoided.

Episode 45 – The Old Gray Mare

You’ve waited long enough: We finally announce the winners of our ‘ruined knitwear’ contest!

During her recent visit to Toronto, Melanie got to hear (and record) some fascinating wartime knitting stories. Take a listen!
