Jill started the Trevi Tee pattern about 2 years ago. In this episode we discuss the why and how of turning this beautiful lace tee into a pattern and a KnitAlong on Ravelry. The discussion was casual and fun because we actually recorded while sitting in the same room instead of over the phone as usual.

We hope you find this information helpful to get those projects out of the closet and off of the needles!
