Raindrops on roses and whiskers on mittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen kittens
Radio 3 hosts all tied up with strings
These are a few of my favourite things!

We honour 2011, the Year of the Cardigan, with Dave Shumka's All-Star Tribute to Sweaters with special guests, Dan Werb and Steve Bays.
