We announce the winner of BostonJen’s new shawl pattern, Go with the Flow, at the end of this episode.
We are giving away a copy of the Frost Heaves Cowl by Bronwyn the Brave. Comment on the thread to be entered to win. The contest will end on April 20. Bronwyn has also set up a coupon code for $2 off the Frost Heaves pattern: THELONGWINTER, and says “It’s a nod to the Laura Ingalls Wilder book, not to mention this crazy winter we’ve had.”
