After 14 years and over 300 episodes, we have made the decision to wind down the podcast over the next year and finish in September 2026, our fifteenth anniversary. We have loved making the podcast and all of the people it has brought into our lives! We want to assure you that this decision wasn't made because of any kind of health reasons - we are simply both feeling that it's time to bring the project to a close. What we don't want to see end is our wonderful community - we will continue to see you on our Ravelry boards, at fiber events throughout the year, and on our weekly Zoom call on Saturdays at noon PST!
Our Charity KAL is over. Prizes announced at the end of Episode 307.
