Hi everyone, I’m Maria (she/her) and welcome to the ninth episode of the Wild Knits Podcast. The Catedral Sweater is finally finished and shining in all its glory, with a wee modification. And I’m showing you my first and failed attempt at the Bébé Sweater - the junior version of my Maman Sweater design. I’m also sharing my idea for a hand-knitted bunny Halloween costume for my little one.
