BTF Episode 58: Responsibilities
In which I think about the responsibilities of being an adult, am 20 of 48 skeins done Level 5, go over novelty yarns for Level 3, work on too many projects to make much progress on any one of them, and make some good progress beading Christmas Elegance. Thanks for listening!
