Indie Design Gift-A-Long is a super fun knit/crochet along with 349 indie designers from all over the world. The event kicks off with a super sale of all 349 designers offering select patterns with a 25% discount during the first week of the GAL, but that's not all. The GAL continues until end of the year with fun and games. I talk about my knitting plans for the event and ask for recommendations. In this episode, you can also hear about a new test knitting opportunity and see some of my knitting projects that I'm working on.

In this episode, I talk about my Topaz design for Making Stories JEWELS book. The inspiration for the design came from the streets of Helsinki, so I'm taking you downtown to see exactly where. I also talk about choosing colors for the colorwork.
