Yarnspinners Tales's Podcast

This is a 10 minute podcast that I will release on the first of every month.  It has all the information about how to find specific episodes, where to contact me and how to get your very own Spinners' Journal. I listen to many podcasts and get tired of hearing the podcaster's information over and over before we get to the podcast. I have decided that to avoid that in this podcast, I would put all this information here and release it once a month. If you need the information, just listen in. If you don't, you can just wait for the next podcast. Happy Spinning!

If you are interested in joining the YST Ravelry group, you can find it by getting on Ravelry, and going to the groups search box.  Search under Yarnspinnerstales spin in and it should give you the link you need to find us. Music today is from MusicAlley.  The opening song is Things Will be Better Next Year by Wil Maring.  The closing song is One More Year by Brett Mikels
