Episode 46 of the Marina Skua podcast – A headband for all yarns, impending yarn chicken, needle chat, making cordage

In this episode I'm chatting about the Ramosa Headband, a very quick little knitting project that's perfect for using up yarn scraps and keeping awkward hair out of your face. There's an update on my Llif (nervous laughter), a chat about some new needles I'm trying, and a little bit of cordage making from larch bark.
