Hi Everyone!  My voice has been giving me issues all week.  So trying to record for longer than 10 minutes has been… problematic.  So, instead of leaving you hanging, I’m going to put up a video-less episode thread.  So, you’ll see the same categories as usual, and a bit of my notes I was planning on talking about this week.  Sorry to make you read through my bad shorthand.  But, it will be worth it!  I PROMISE!  So, here goes!

“Hello everyone! I’m Silver! It is Thursday the 28^th. A quick thank you to everyone who’s checking out the podcast for the first time! I can be a bit scatterbrained, and it shows in my podcast from time to time. Just ask my family about the level of scatterbrained-ness… Lol. Thank you to everyone who’s come back! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I really do appreciate you! How is everyone doing?? It’s been a shorter week, but I was still able to get stuff done! Shorter work week makes this SOOO much easier to do! So, enough of my bellyaching! On to the knitting!
