[upbeat music] Hi, I'm Molly Bloom, and this is Smash Boom Best, the show where we take two things, smash them together, and ask you to decide which one is best. Today we're debating two popular pastimes. One lets you make your own cozy, cuddly creations. The other lets you design hearty, helpful homeware. It's knitting versus pottery. Two cool crafts with endless possibilities, but only one winner. Yearning for yarn, it's comedian Katie McVay for Team Knitting.
