Episode 360 - March is for Mending!

The time is coming to start putting away heavy knits for the spring, and that's got mending on our minds. Lee and Producer Andi discuss invisible vs. visible mending. Lee favors visible, using woven darning and contrast colors, and Andi prefers getting as close to invisible as she can using Swiss darning and color matched yarn. They also answer Stacey's questions on mending.


Plus, hear about our hosts Lee and Stacey's personal projects, Lee's free new pattern she designed, and our latest eBook, Lounge Act: Knits for Kicking Back.
