When Knitting Attacks: (28:04)

Gigi thought she had figured out bead placement on the French Cancan. She didn't like beads in the

chain of knitted stitches next to the lace.

Gigi swatched for a fade cowl, then she swatched again with fingering yarn, because she had pulled out

the first fingering swatch, put the needles away and not taken notes. She repeatedly pulled out the toe

decreases for a VITNB sock.

And Sew On:(42:02)

Jasmin is installing a dual separating zipper on her Carli cardigan. Tutorial in highlights on instagram and

in the Mariah project page.

Gigi finally found the Carli cardigan and the zipper. She put it on the dress form and pinned the zipper in

place, and then decided to machine sew it.
