LoLo Body Care, formally Bar-Maids, creates exceptional moisturizers hand-poured by staff who add a good dose of heartfelt love to each one. 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. Their customers and customer service are rare and treasured jewels.

When Knitting Attacks: (28:04)
Gigi thought she had figured out bead placement on the French Cancan. She didn’t like beads in the
chain of knitted stitches next to the lace.
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.

And Sew On:(42:02)

Jasmin is installing a dual separating zipper on her Carli cardigan. Tutorial in highlights on instagram and
in the Mariah project page.
Gigi finally found the Carli cardigan and the zipper. She put it on the dress form and pinned the zipper in
place, and then decided to machine sew it.
