Delightful

This is such a wonderful idea! I love listening to Mel’s cheerful, encouraging voice and I am very much enjoying knitting this cozy sweater as I listen.

So lovely!

I can’t say enough about this lovely podcast. I’m thoroughly enjoying this sweet story-pattern-KAL journey; it’s unlike any other creative process I’ve ever participated in! It is such a cozy comfort to listen & follow along, and I’m certain it will be a warm & bright spot in others’ podcast subscription lists too. Thank you Melissa ❤️
