It’s time for fall, Knitting, and lots of LoLo! Why? All three are connected. Fall weather and knitting both can suck the life out of your skin. LoLo helps keep your skin hydrated & healthy - which means you can tackle that stash and finish more fall projects.

We all have it, we all snicker about it.

Gigi: ready to Kitchener toe. The stitches she dropped ran.
Dogs ran off with yarn. Took a whole day to untangle
And Sew On:(41:34)
In Gigi’s sewing class at Cañada College, she sewed the muslin for her fitted waistband.
Also, got started on the bodice alterations Took in the sides, and took a sideways fisheye dart.
Couture Embellishments class at West Valley College continues.
Gigi is working on Tambouring technique. Challenging. Should order one, instead of trying to fake it
with a crochet hook. The top of Jasmin's hook kept coming off. Glued it into submission.
The midterm project is supposed to be embellishment and rejuvenation of something out of the closet;
due on Halloween.
Gigi found silk ribbon at Madonna's in Morgan Hill.
Got started on it on Saturday. And she did a lot of swatching
