On The Needles:(0:28)
Jasmin has been knitting away on the Cascade Cardigan, and loves it. It is themed after The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
This week Gigi has finished both sleeves of her Katje and is working on the bottom of the hoodie. On the Playful Stripes Cardigan, all that remains to be done is the finishing. We discuss alternate ways of finishing loose thread ends. Jasmin saw a possible solution on Clara Parkes' instagram feed.
