This month we’re focussing on all things woolly for Wovember!

And I’m using a slightly different format – more chat from me about recent event in the Irish Crafting scene. I’d really appreciate if you’d comment in the shownotes to let me know what you think.

The main items discussed this episode are:

• the winner of our giveaway from Episode 7. Thanks to everyone who entered a review on iTunes or Stitcher and to those who took the trouble to give me feedback – positive and negative – it all makes me better, right?
• The Knitting & Stitching Show in the RDS
• “Olann And” a new magazine about Fibre and Craft in Ireland
