So, I’m here on the page for episode 99, but I can’t find the show notes. You talked about somebody’s yarn valet and I was hoping to find that in the show notes. Could you point me in the right direction? Thanks.
Brittany
my apologies for that! I’ve update the links and resources section to include Yarn Valet. You can see all their stuff here: http://www.yarnvalet.com/

My biggest challenge with both crochet and knitting is finishing projects. I get too excited to start new things, and the old ones get relegated to the UFO pile! It’s hard to find the motivation to go back to them.
Brittany
I can definitely relate here! I’ll have to put together a future episode that shares how I stick to my projects until their done 🙂
