In the latest episode of YarnCraft, our half-hour audio show on all things yarn-related, we talk about how to add a personal flair to your projects through color, trims, flowers, and other embellishments. We are also joined by Nicky Epstein, whose more than a dozen books have changed the way we knit and crochet. Nicky is also the designer behind the popular Tree of Life Afghan.
