The Knitting Game Special Announcement

Because of the change in schedule, I think for the time being I’m going to record the show on Sunday mornings.  That way I have time to write, edit and produce the episodes so they aren’t rushed.  Just wanted to let you all know that in case you were looking for it.  Then next recording will be Sunday, May 19th. Thanks!
