This month has been a busy month and we’re excited to have so many updates to share with you at our August Taking Back Friday Live. A place we meet every month for a fun chat about craft and colour, this month is no exception with the launch of our new Eclipse Collection colours, Hexa Hue set, August Secret Stash Club colourway reveal, anniversary celebrations, Jethro Cardigan crocheting, and much more.
Today’s livestream also marks the start of our 2024 School of SweetGeorgia Back to School Sale. You can save with 15% off our SOS memberships. It’s the best time of the year to sign up, locking in the discounted rate for as long as you continue to be a member. Join me at the livestream to hear all of the latest!
Thank you to everyone who joined me at this month’s livestream. If you’re interested in catching up on past videos, you can find all of our past Taking Back Friday livestreams and vlog episodes at the blog.
