Most all their supplies are made in the US, and their beeswax sourced from a local farm. Besides quality, the value of their product lies in that they last a very long time and are loved to the very last bit. They built their brand on being eco-friendly and their new packaging rocks.

When Knitting Attacks: (28:04)

Gigi thought she had figured out bead placement on the French Cancan. She didn\\u2019t like beads in the

chain of knitted stitches next to the lace.\\xa0

Gigi swatched for a fade cowl, then she swatched again with fingering yarn, because she had pulled out

the first fingering swatch, put the needles away and not taken notes. She repeatedly pulled out the toe

decreases for a VITNB sock.
