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: (42:56)

Gigi cast on the Flickering shawl. It is  easy, grey and black yarn held together, in stockinette stitch. 

She doesn't like how it looks.  She will make a 4 inch square. If she still doesn’t like it, she will rip it and

use the yarn for something else 

She cast on the Ridgeline shawl on needles that were too long.  She had to wrestle it onto shorter

needles, that seem too short.
