Possum/Wolf Mittens and Crochet Frustration // Casual Friday 3-04

In this week's Casual Friday podcast I continue to prepare for Finish it February, I give updates on my top-down cabled sweater project, as well as a mitten project in which I am combining yarns containing possum and wolf fur; I introduce you to my yarn for my Roaring '20s vintage sweater project and provide a trick for eliminating the extra twist you can get when knitting from a center-pull ball; I struggle with crochet gauge issues, and give some tips on understanding the effect a gauge difference will have on a project.
