Join me at our August edition of Taking Back Friday Live! The second Friday of each month, instead of sharing a pre-recorded Taking Back Friday vlog, we go LIVE on the SweetGeorgia YouTube channel to have a casual catch-up on all the latest at SweetGeorgia and the School of SweetGeorgia. I’ll also talk about the fibre arts projects I’ve been working on.
We’ll be live Friday, August 12th at 10am PDT (1pm EDT)! Bring your knitting, crochet or whatever you’re working on and join in the YouTube live chat online. We hope to see you there!
If you can’t make it, don’t worry as the replay will be available (above) to watch following the end of the livestream.
