Gigi has been spinning every day, and has almost spun all of her fleece.
Jasmin has been plying like a fiend, to make her Stash Dash goal before going into labor. She is planning to knit the Schoodic cardigan by Hannah Fettig with it.
She has been using the Schacht Yardage Counter in conjunction with the Schacht Ultra Swift.
And Sew On:(47:16)
Gigi's sewing machine refused to sew. She tried every trick in the book, and it finally worked again. She sewed in the zipper, basted shut the lining so Genevieve couldn't try it on. So it has to be lengthened, and Gigi added length and is thinking of sewing rickrack over the seam.
