I’m SO excited to be the guest on this week’s episode of the Woolful podcast! If you’ve never listened to the podcast before, it’s absolutely wonderful (and you’ve got 22 back episodes before mine to listen to). The podcast is the creation of Ashley Yousling, who currently splits her time between a tech job in San Francisco and a beautiful ranch in Idaho. I can’t say thank you enough to Ashley for having me on, because I love her podcast and what she brings to our fiber community in producing it. And huge thanks to Tolt Yarn and Wool for sponsoring this episode!

I’ve received so many wonderful comments and messages since the podcast went up and I’m a bit overwhelmed by the love, so thank you all! I was quite excited to see some of you mentioning that I’d piqued your interest in Norwegian sheep breeds, and you’ll be happy to know that Norwegian-specific wool is something I’m hoping to explore more and write about here after I move to Tromsø this summer. I can’t wait to share what I learn.

Those of you who regularly follow the podcast know that with each episode comes a giveaway – and this week we’re giving away a copy of Moon Sprites along with the Létt Lopi to knit it! Many of the comments on the podcast episode mentioned a desire to work on colorwork, and Moon Sprites is a great pattern for that whether you’ve done a lot of colorwork or not – with just seven rounds of simple colorwork, it’s totally appropriate for a colorwork beginner! To enter the giveaway, all you need to do is leave a comment on the episode’s blog post.

Be sure to visit the Woolful website and listen to those back episodes if you haven’t before! And be sure to check out Ashley’s shop, Woolful Mercantile, while you’re there.
