I listen to an audio podcast called the Slow Home Podcast and in the month of October they were doing a Minimalist Challenge called the Minsgame where they invite listeners to play along. Ask Me AnythingSaraknitsKC asks: "Can you talk more about your virtual knit nights? How did you find a group? Sounds like a lot of fun!" My groups found me. But I'd highly recommend it. We use Google Hangout- details on how to start a video chat. On a Happy Note
