Join Barb and Cynthia for our latest podcast, on location at Jo's Yarn Garden in Stony Plain, Alberta. Jo's Yarn Garden is a short drive west of Edmonton, in Stony Plain, Alberta at 4812 - 50th Ave. We took a tour of Jo's shop, wanting to show you all the beautiful things that are available to you, in person and online. (Apologies that the sound quality was inconsistent as we toured the yarn shop; we had some mic issues. Feast your eyes on all the beautiful yarns and let us know if you have any questions. Email: info@rivercityyarns.com)
31:48 We also chatted with Joanne about how she came to own a yarn shop, her adventures in weaving and sock knitting and much more.
59:00 Cynthia will tell you all about the May classes and events in store for you.
1:04:57 This month, we also spoke to local designer, Jessie McKitrick. At the end of the podcast video, you'll find a link to our chat with Jessie. Stay on until the end!
In this episode, Cynthia was wearing an Easy Folded Poncho made with self-striping Noro. Barb was wearing a Capelet Trompe L'oeil in two colours of RCY Adam & Eve.
