Episode 9 - Germany and Continental Knitting

Hi there! This week, we talk about Germany and its knitting history and traditions. We go over some of the older knitting projects people used to make, the projects a man had to knit to be admitted to a guild, knitting during the Wars, and continental knitting. We also go over some of the sheep found in Germany. Thus: another good one! We hope you enjoy.
