What's New...
Firstly, you will notice that the podcast has changed. For starters, it has a (yet again) new title: Church Lady Knits (with Kristen of Hook&Gauge).
If you are new, welcome! My name is Kristen and by day, I work as a music minister in a suburban church in Raleigh, NC. By night, I am a compulsive crafter. So, the name seemed to fit. Plus, who doesn't love Dana Carvey?
Also, I just felt like the podcast needed a reboot. I cannot articulate why; I have recently been feeling strangely about it and would like to try to be my more relaxed self. For now, I have decided to make the past episodes private on YouTube. The show notes are still available here, so go check them out to see what I was working on.
