Episode One: Thank you for joining us today






Thank you for joining Allie and Vicki as they dip their toes into the world of podcasting – once again! This podcast will be knitting and reading themed, with Allie and Vicki discussing their different takes and experiences in both of these hobbies. While Allie was co-host of the Caffeinated Knitting video podcast and Vicki was a special guest on that podcast a handful of times, starting a brand new one was an interesting experience and they thank you in advance for sticking with them as they get into the flow of things!
