What a character! I would love to sit in a lunch knitting group with you ladies. Just listening to all of Jerri's stories. Looks like she has great mid-century interior design in her home too. Jerri has what we want and need from knitting all figured out. Wishing her many many more years of fun knitting ❤

Hi Billie, knitting certainly keeps the mind and the hands nimble. Your colorwork project looks beautiful. I also have an upcoming "challenge" recreating a pattern from photos. One of my husband's cousin's son (lol) is a talented young singer. Last year he represented South Africa in a singing contest in New York. He won a gold medal in the pop category. He wants a sweater he saw in a Canadian pop singer's music video. His mom asked me if I could recreate it. I'm now waiting for the yarn to be shipped before I can start it. Whenever I find myself in a casino, I stay away from the tables because that's where you lose a lot of money in a very short time. I liked the old fashioned slot machines. Not those new things that's more like a video game. I only play them for entertainment, not to win big money. However, I always did have good luck on them. So this brings me to a story of my own. Many years ago, there was a festival held on the ground of a local resort (greek Mykonos themed). I was there with colleagues from the newspaper I was working at. One of the stalls had great shark tooth necklaces (very surfer like). My eldest son always wanted one but I didn't have enough cash on me to buy it. So I ran to the casino in the resort.and played a slot machine with the little cash I had on me until I won enough to buy the necklace lol.

I am voting for knitters!

always enjoy listening to you Billie! I'm sure I've said this before, but you are a great story-teller and have a lovely voice. I'm also looking to be challenged by patterns and techniques. I try to have a learning project and a straightforward one on my needles, but it never quite works out that way! I have several WIPS that need brainpower to get them finished, brainpower that eludes me. Your top looks so nice on you and appears as if it's very soft and comfortable - have you talked about it previously? Your Norwegian-inspired jersey is looking amazing, hope it goes smoothly as I can't wait to see it finished!

I'm a risk taker with my hobbies as well. I think I have about as many failures as successes. I'm always trying to push the envelope and do something new and I don't care much for popular things. I also tend to drop hobbies and start new ones once I get good at it because I like learning new things.

Good story; when you talked about learning after retirement I thought of all the Sockmatician patterns I have and want to try- double knitting patterns are so cool. 😊

I could listen to this conversation all day and wish it went longer! Jerri is fascinating. Really liked this one 👍👍👍

Billie I love this pattern and your colors. I used to see white diamonds but now I see blue flowers.

I guess I was too dumb to realize how smart you were those days at Brevard, Missy.

Hi Billie, your guest was so fascinating that I had to watch the whole show in one viewing. I hope Jerri will write a book about her life in the fashion industry and her family. When I looked up her gorgeous blouses, I came across a page about her on The Gotham Center for NY History web site. I read Babe Ruth was her neighbor, about the Huk-A-Poo label, her dance career, auditioning for the Rockettes, being a showroom model, etc., etc. Jerri's knitting is so complicated, vivid and detailed.

Really enjoyed this interview. She I’d just adorable. Always watch your videos but not often comment. This one deserves a 👍. Thank you for all your video work.

What an interesting discussion!

That steeked colorwork cardigan was so beautiful! As to your question about whether I would make a sweater that required me to swatch every square: I think I would have just fudged it and sewn a bunch of mismatching squares to make a Frankenstein cardigan! Jerri is very talented and I think this video is a great reminder for something you both subscribe to: that there is no need to produce 3 billion sweaters a year! I am trying to keep this in mind as I embark on making more and more complicated sweaters and produce less and less -- I may be producing less, but I am producing even more awesome stuff that I will use for years to come. Wonderful video once again. Hi to both of you from Pittsburgh! All of your videos make me want to visit NY and check out the museums and yarn stuff :)

Hi Jerri! Thank you for sharing your beautiful work! I don't use Ravelry much either, no time for it. Happy knitting.😊

Top marks on this one, Billie. Her silk blouses are incredible and her knitting is amazing. I wish I lived in New York City so I could be part of the guild with the two of you

Just saw the movie "36 Hours" on TCM, and the actress Eva Marie Saint had a scene in which she was knittting

By all means; Your next book needs to be Size Inclusive. With full size sweaters and full size models. This is an opportunity for you.

great, I am going for pink lipstick!

Love the sweater you are working on!

Happy 4th of July, I love your style and love the sweater you are wearing.

Loved the tour, too!

Your sweater looks beautiful! The cashmere makes it extra special. Would this work with a no float method? It is actually a one-stitch float and is stretchier. Do you know Gary Ray Smith AKA The Knitting Man? He has a UA-cam channel. He shows how to knit and purl English style with ''no floats''.

The colourmart yarn seems so thin because of the machine oils. Once you wash all the oils out it will plump up properly. It does need to be washed thoroughly, might take a few washes even. Your finished projects and WIPs are all lovely 😊

Thank you for going through the process of deciding on yarn/needles/fabric for your lovely sweater. I have learned that it’s okay to rip out, start over with another pattern, or another yarn, do what it takes to get a finished project that will be worn and loved. About to begin a light top with yarn I purchased over a year ago while traveling-without a pattern in mind. Used it for a shawl and just don’t like the shawl, so planning on making the “Bamboo” top I found on Ravelry. It’s very modern looking! But has a sideways construction which I’ve been meaning to try. Worst part will be ripping out the shawl, creating skeins, washing, drying. It’s a silk/alpaca/linen blend in neutral silvery greys (2 colors). Wish me luck!

The advice you got not to do stranded knitting with cashmere because it's a waste of cashmere is ridiculous! I am glad you ignored their advice. If you want a cashmere stranded colourwork fabric then of course you'll have strands on the back, it's just the way it is. It's like being told not to make a chocolate cake with chocolate because it's a waste of chocolate. I think your project looks really nice, and those nice soft strands of cashmere will be a joy to wear 😊

How fun! Thanks for including us! Knit in good health all. xx, @Professor_Purl

I love this video. Does Kathryn have social media as well? I’d like to show her my small collection. I’m a Mexican vintage lover that loves these jackets!

Oh, my, Aunt Matilda's pieces should be in a museum, especially the sequin dress. I also watched your other episode about Sweaters and Knitters in The Met. I visited their site and looked at their online collection. What a lovely collection from different eras! I also like the dress and bolero with the tassels. It seems tassels go in and out of fashion but I think they are classic.

Looks even better on the video than the IG post! Yes, you are the boss of your knitting and you should do what makes you happy regardless of other opinions.

Hi Billie; TY for another nice podcast. I'm glad you're continuing on with your sweater design in the yarn that makes you happy. It's beautiful!

The vintage pattern looks gorgeous with the yarns you have chosen, Billie, traditional Fair Isles tend to be stickier wools, but that is because those wools were hardwearing and easily available in Shetland, but the cashmere would be a lovely luxurious treat whenever you wear it.💙Coned yarns are oiled to go through the knitting machines, so that may account for the slightly different feel, they should bloom once washed.

I love your new project Billie and you have made good progress! Stick with it, I say! 😊

Hi Billie. Your new knitting is quite something! I love the colours on you and the pattern, the scale you have chosen looks very good. I can't believe you were told that cashmere floats were a waste of yarn?!! I disagree. What a great service from Colourmart, not only rewinding the two strands for you, but also the provision of samples big enough to knit a swatch. I've noticed that dying can affect yarn softness, perhaps this is the case? I very much enjoyed listening to your process, back and fore, and sideways, at the beginning. I certainly identify with this! Look forward to seeing progress on this!

The vintage pattern looks beautiful in this yarn with your colors, Billie.

Another wonderful podcast.Will search for that book at my local library, it will make excellent listening while knitting.

I'm not sure what weight your chenille is, or how much yardage you have, but there is a design called Tillie by Louisa Harding that uses the chenille as the contrasting yarn on a colourwork cardigan, the main colour is a wool yarn and the firmness of the colourwork and the wool would both reduce the amount of worming and abrasion for the chenille. Tillie is one of the designs in Rowan's 40th Anniversary book that came out a few years ago. I have also used chenille for weaving, using it as my weft along with a non superwash wool as my warp, I lightly fulled it before blocking it and so far I haven't had any worming with the chenille, as the wool holds everything in place.

Very well done! Clear and concise.

Hi Billie, 1st off, thanks for the mention in your previous episode. I do enjoy sharing interesting knitting related stories with you. I know you appreciate them too! I use Ravelry just as much. It's an amazing database and the search filters are very powerful.

It was so nice to meet you in person! Thanks for doing this

It was interesting to see the construction of the gloves. I bet the softer yarn makes them more comfortable than cotton. I have a few pairs of vintage crocheted gloves made with cotton thread. The cotton feels a little stiff and uncomfortable to wear. Enjoy your beautiful gloves! 🧤❤

Billie, nice finished projects including the top you're wearing!😊

I adore the bed jacket! Fabulous!

Stunning and flattering bed jacket👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Gosh it looks beautiful with the ribbon!

Billie, thank you for including me and Purl in your program about International Knitting in Public Day. We enjoyed meeting you in person, you are a very gracious host. I"m looking forward to seeing your cashmere project in a future episode.

Wonderful!! I haven't finished watching but chats in Bryant Park are so fun! 😊

I wanna say that shade of green *almost" matches knit picks stroll in the shade Everglade Heather. Its a bit brighter and in a slippery merino/nylom blend, but its fingering weight

I’m knitting, I knitted. Sounds fine to me. Maybe it’s a cultural thing. I have only heard knit since I started watching American videos. Love the cardigan you are wearing on the train! Will you be wearing the bed jacket as day wear? It’s so beautiful and looks very Hollywood

Lovely job!

Those gloves are so gorgeous, ready for afternoon tea or a night at the opera.Good job.
