Breaking news! Our blend of locally sourced beeswax, organic coconut oil, hempseed oil and zinc oxide will leave you more kissable than you are now. Customers report that Lo-Lo Lips is one of the best lip balms available. Why is it that some lip balms can cause your lips to dry out if you stop using them, or if you lose them (and let’s face it, we ALL lose them), you can end up chapped and raw. Lo-Lo Lips doesn’t force you to reapply in order to maintain a healthy balanced level of moisture ideal for your beautiful lips. Ten yummy flavors, no parabens, fillers, or dyes – just a natural lip moisturizer that has everything your lips want and nothing they don’t. The truth is, your LIPS may not get addicted, but I dare anyone to try it and not feel like an addict! Kiss me, Lo-Lo, I’m in LOVE!

On The Needles:(0:36)
Jasmin has finished the Coronation cardigan. Jasmin mentions the three books that she uses regularly by Ann Budd: The Knitter's Handy Book of Patterns, The Knitter's Handy Book of Sweater Patterns, and The Knitter's Book of Top Down Sweaters. Jasmin talks about Colleen's Coronation Charts. She is searching for a box to keep leftover bits of yarn and buttons from sweaters she has finished. Jasmin and Genevieve are both very charmed by the Elsa crown that they take turns wearing.
Gigi has been working on the Copperplate and is reading the book Top Down: Reimagining Set-In Sleeve Design
Jasmin is getting close to the end of the Spock sweater. Genevieve's Churchmouse sweater still sort of fits. She talks about needing to swatch Genevieve's Welcome to the Flock cardigan and for the Anna Sweater (inspired by Megknitficent's).
She wants to do Christmas sweaters for the kids (like this one), the Kate Oates way, so the sweaters can grow with the kids.
Gigi has finished the tubes for a pair of socks out of Opal, and they just need the afterthought heels.
Jasmin loves working with her hand spun, and she picked up the 2014 SPAKAL cardigan, and she is making progress. She is very excited about working with it.
Gigi has also been working on a pair of socks for Sam, which has been adventurous. It looks like this new incarnation of the sock should fit.
Also, she is working on the fifth preemie hat for this month.
