New Year

Happy New Year Fellow Knitters!

After giving it a lot of thought over the past few months, I’ve decided that I will bring my podcast to a close.  I really enjoyed being able to share my projects with you in those 36 episodes and interacting with you in the Ravelry group.  Nothing will ever take the place of all of the messages, swaps, postcards, and other fun things that I received in the mail from you guys! I have a special place in my knitting room just for them.

I will, of course, still be around Ravelry-land as Ellie-Knitter and selling my stitch markers on Etsy!

Thanks for watching everyone!

Ellie
