Customer Reviews
Pam & Greg are great!
Fun and often funny chat about knitting, other fiber arts & life! They also do separate Book Club episodes where they give a good overview of a book about knitting or fiber arts. My review feels dull, but their podcast is not! 🙂
Awesome potcast!
I love the relationship that Greg and Pam have. They enjoy each other’s company as well as each other’s projects. Give this podcast a listen. It won’t disappoint.
