Episode 9: Chat with Phylicia and Maci

We had a blast chatting with Phylicia and Maci! We talk about knitting as self-care, knitting as a safe space for making mistakes, and Maci and Phylicia discuss knitting as Black women and why representation is so important in knitting. 

You can find Maci at @littlemissknitss on IG. You can find Phylicia at @phylenaknits on IG, and check out her knitting podcast on Youtube at Phylena Knits.
