Glacial Knits Podcast Episode 9: Oh, Canada!
We went to Canada! Calgary and the Canadian Rockies were a beautiful place. Never had we seen mountains like that. I was so inspired that I will have a new colorway based on what we saw!
Calgary itself had a number of nice yarn stores and I brought some work by Canadian dyers back to share with you all.
We start with our knitting.
