Join me at our monthly Taking Back Friday Livestream chat about craft and colour! Every second Friday of the month at our YouTube channel, I look forward to sharing a closer look at the latest releases from SweetGeorgia and the School of SweetGeorgia. For the month of May, we’ll chat about the projects I’ve been working on, my recent trip to the Erlbacher Crank In, the School of SweetGeorgia Crochet Summit and more.
We’ll be live Friday, May 12th at 10:00 am PDT (1:00 pm EDT). Grab your current knitting or crochet project and join me in the YouTube live chat!
We are always interested to hear what you think. If you have suggestions and ideas about what you would like to learn from us, please let us know. I’d also love to hear about what you are working on these days and are excited to learn, as well as any challenges you may be facing along the way.
