Episode Two
The podcast began with reminders from the last episode of all the free resources that are available to crocheters everywhere to broaden the total crochet experience!
- Ravelry
The Sequoia Shrug is finished!

Finished the chemo cap, Red Heart pattern with Simply Caron yarn! My apologies but no pictures were taken before I mailed it out.
My question for all of you: Do you ever feel awkward about things you make for friends or family? Are you unsure about your gift or your talents? Please share your thoughts or comments at the end of the post or in the ShortysSutures Ravelry group.
