Hi everyone, I'm Maria (she/her) and welcome to the tenth episode of the Wild Knits Podcast. I have made a bouclé baby bunny sweater for Emma, which she refuses to wear…. I also got the new Drops Daisy yarn, which is also a non superwash merino, just like Sandnes Garn’s famous Double Sunday - so I’m giving a quick first impressions and side-by-side of the two together. And lastly, our local yarn festival (Glasgow School of Yarn) happened last weekend so I’m sharing my favourite stands from the day and also all the yarny goodness that I got!
