She starts a new project, 'Gorgeous' by The Artsy Housewife, for the #MurderofCrows SAL, and shows progress on several WIPs, including 'Lunar Witch', 'City Lights', a round robin piece, 'Love at First Sight', and 'Cherry Magpie'. She also discusses needle minder crafting, retreat plans, knitting projects, and recent reads.
