February 2024 // Taking Back Friday Live

Once a month, on the second Friday of every month, I love coming to our Taking Back Friday livestream space for a fun, fibre arts catch-up. It’s an opportunity to share with you the latest news from SweetGeorgia, the School of SweetGeorgia, and share what I’ve been making over the past month.

The biggest thing we have to show you as part of our February 2024 livestream is the reveal of our new Secret Stash Club colourway. Our very first February Yarn Club boxes have recently been delivered and today I get to show you the yarn as well as what we’ve knit with it. I also want to talk a little bit about what’s going on behind the scenes at the studio, a special new colourway in celebration of Lunar New Year, as well as an unboxing of ChiaoGoo’s Forté 2.0 knitting needle set.

Thank you to everyone for joining me online each month in the live chat! You can find all of our past Taking Back Friday livestream sessions shared on our blog.
