It's a bit of a longer episode today but I couldn’t tear myself away from my new Bay Area Crafty friends: Monica and Cortney from the fantastic podcast Craft Cook Read Repeat.
These joyful makers will inspire creativity and curiosity in the kitchen, on the needles on the nightstand and more. And, one of them answers the age-old question "Are Sophie scarves a project for beginning knitters?"
Plus, they share some of their favorite book recommendations.
And we get three bonus guest author recommendations this week:
Christina Hammonds Reed, author of The Johnson Four recommends American Nightmare by Kelly McWilliams.
Rebecca Fallon, author of Family Drama recommends Almost Life by Kiran Mlgood Hargrave.
Eleanor Shearer, author of Fireflies in Winter recommends Barkskins by Annie Proulx.
