Welcome to Episode 78 of Podcast On! with Barb and Cynthia. We’ve got a lot to tell you about, so this episode has chapters. See the chapter guide in the show notes below. Grab a refreshment and your current project and sit back: there’s a lot to see, including our Knit City Montreal stash enhancement, a giveaway from Julie Asselin, events and classes you won’t want to miss, gorgeous handpainted yarns, a dye studio tour and a great conversation with our friends Caroline and Dan. We also chatted with Holli Yeoh, designer and knitting instructor and her step-father, Nigel Pottle, about their designs, collaborations and favourite places in hometown, Vancouver, BC.
To get in on the giveaway from Julie Asselin and Beam Paints is simple. Share your story in the comments below about the very first time you tried painting and what you painted. We’ll pick a random entry to receive this gift from Julie Asselin.
