Aileen, AKA @thelittlebushbabymakes on Instagram has opened an Etsy store selling her gorgeous handmade beaded stitchmarkers and other goodies. She has some stunning bling for your knitting (stitchmarkers for your WIPS, shawl pins for those FOs!), and we urge you to go check her out!
It’s on the horizon! There are a few spaces left in some classes, but tickets are selling fast. Don’t forget to book your tickets for the marketplace and come join the fun! We’re counting down the days…
Next Episode & Hiatus
Next episode will be our final official episode before we go on hiatus over summer whilst one of us has a baby. We really appreciate your patience and support during this time. We’ll try and get some content out over the summer, but this is subject to our availability and how motherhood and Pip get on. With that in mind, next month we want to share some podcast love! We’ll chat our faves (and who you should go listen to whilst we’re gone!), but we’d love to hear who you all enjoy listening to as well. Let us know!
Baby News
As a final aside, Pip appreciates the respect she has received with regard to her pregnancy and personal boundaries. Her baby’s arrival is imminent, but both she and Cia would appreciate it if listeners do not contact Pip directly, or Cia as a go-around, asking if the wee one has arrived yet. We understand some of you may be excited- we certainly are! However, Pip will share on her personal social media when Skittle arrives, and Cia will obviously make sure those of you just following the podcast are alerted too- with Pip’s permission. Thank you for respecting this.
