Just watched the replay. Thank you! Please keep talking and sharing and making.
Will do! 😃
You guys look great on YT!!
Thank you so much! 💕 And thanks for watching!!
Another great episode Jen! Such a pleasure to learn about Vanessa and all the things she is doing 😊
Thank you so much and so glad you enjoyed it! xoxo- jen
I so miss the best coast! I will for sure visit this beautiful spot this summer❤
You have to! It's a magical place.
I adore you Vanessa and am SO PROUD!!!! You are a rockstar my friend 😘🤘🏼
She's SO rockstar!!
The yarn store of my dreams....❤
You gotta go visit :)
What a beautiful store and lovely story. I hope Vanessa takes some time to rest, her energy and kindness will be needed in her community for many years to come.
So true! Hope you get to visit her shop someday 🎉
This episode was 🔥🔥🔥
@@tzigns YOU are 🔥🔥🔥☺️
Great conversation! I learned about so many people and ideas!
Thank you!
This is another great conversation. I wish more people would find this channel and listen to you and your guests. ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for watching! I appreciate you. :) xoxo- Jen
I like to go to a fiber arts shop and they have fellowship nights. There are themes, but they welcome everyone to every night. Bring your craft and hang with other local makers.
Thank you for this episode❤I'm a knitter and I can't crochet. I have so many friends that crochet and I love that art form. We are crafters!❤ And Jen...I never swatch😁
hahaha yessss Team No Swatch! -Jen
It's always nice hearing Brit and you Jen discussing these topics and it was fun learning about Bea and the Wool Dreamers. I'd also like to try crocheting with the Manchelopis, even just to try it out, maybe it works well with Tunisian crochet. The bit about authenticity really stuck with me. I've also been falling away from social media and recently started just blogging on my Patreon. Not on the paid tier, just the public/free one. There's no pressure there to show up as anything other than the person I am and if feels so good to just express things without the fear of saying the wrong thing or needing to appear extra polished. Those people who joined actually want to read all the stuff. And there's no pressure to take pretty photos or videos either. We can just be there, interacting with each other. Britt's Discord is also a chill place.
We love a place you can authentically be yourself! So glad you found that. Thank you for being here too! I appreciate you. :) -Jen
Thank you for introducing us to so many wonderful makers !!! ❤❤❤
We are so lucky to have such a vibrant maker community! Thanks for watching <3 -Jen
Thank you for addressing the grotesque upsidedown elephant in the world. I'm absolutely sickened by what the USA is doing with their privilege and many many gifts of geography+people. Hugs to you. Extra thank yous for these delicious recipes. Keepers!
I know, it's been a rough time. Keep making, keep creating, keep being kind. ❤️ -Jen
I'm so glad that whatever algorithm brought me here did.
I am so glad too! Welcome! xoxo- Jen
You two make this look like “Delicious Dish”from SNL! So much fun and I almost preheated my oven!😂 I look forward to more of all this!
hahaha! Love that!
I enjoyed your interviews so much. TU for sharing ❤❤❤

This was such a fun episode! Thanks for sharing!
@@monican2889 it was so fun to record! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
LOVED THIS! Thanks for the chat friend 😘

Thank you for your podcast. So inspiring every time and thank you for sharing the makers of the world 🥰.
@@SolangeWiedemann so glad you’re enjoying it! 💕 Thank you for watching!
Do you know where you got your KNIT baseball cap? One of my friends has been searching for one. Thanks.
@@nancybarthold6796 Degen was selling them at the festival! I think they do drops on their site too :)
@@making_cothanks
You met the best people and thanks for introducing us to them! I love that!
@@horsecrazysheila this community is filled with amazing people for sure! 💕
I wonder if that rigid mentality in the knitting community is a leftover product of wartime knitting propaganda, where knitting a certain way was considered patriotic or unpatriotic. I was watching this video (ua-cam.com/video/XCQVJfEdO6k/v-deo.html) the other day that explained it more in depth. This sprung into my mind as you were discussing the topic. Whether it stems from a political agenda or not, it has got to go. Thanks for the informative podcast.
A very timely subject. I’ll bring this topic to our crochet & knit guild to help us all begin to understand how we might begin identifying ableism in our community, and how we can become more accessible. Thank you!
So glad this episode resonated with you!
First I have a question…who is doing your thumbnails??? You should give them a raise and definitely don’t let them work for anyone else!!! They are beautiful. Oh and I love your shirt/sweater.💗💗💗
hahaha Thank you for the very kind message! It's me! I do them! :) -Jen
Beth, Kira and Jen - thank you so much. I learned from you and I appreciate your time and energy that you put forth to make this podcast!
Thank you for watching!
I really enjoyed this conversation sooo much! I hope to attend a future Sacred Sheep festival soon but had so much fun knitting the Sacred Sheep hat by Caitlin Hunter over these past few weeks. Had no idea the two are in some way tied together.
Hope to see you at an upcoming festival!
If there's one reason that I'd love to visit the US (besides the national parks), it's that you have such wonderful people in the yarn community, like Rachel and company, who not only create awesome yarn, but also create community. I hope you have fun at the festival!
Thanks for watching! Naybe we need to combine yarn and national parks at some point... 🤔
So interesting to hear about the goats!
I know, right?! They're such cool creatures!
This was a great discussion. In addition to font size for patterns, font size is also very important for websites and emails. I have found that some designers use very small hard to read font sizes for their emails and don't pay attention to contrast.
Thanks for opening my eyes to a topic I previously hadn’t thought much about…I’ll be actively adding adaptive/disabled maker to my searches. All of us belong in this creative space and should feel welcome ❤ Thanks, Jen, Beth and Kira. This series is great!
TU for sharing ❤❤❤
Another exquisite discussion you had with your guests, as always. ❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it! -Jen
Thank you for this excellent, important and lovely episode. It was a pleasure getting to know you all.🧶
Thanks for watching! ❤
Wow! Amy could talk about anything and I would listen. What a fabulous and engaging woman. Thoroughly enjoyed learning from her. 😊
I know, right?! She's so great!
Wow, thank you so much! You made my day. Amy
Great stories with Amy and Rachel! Fascinating!
Thank you for watching!
Thank you! Jen hosts an amazing podcast!
A great episode. I loved the story behind the wedding dress❤ I would definitely knit my own wedding dress if I'd get married today...🥂
Thank you for watching! <3
Right?! So beautiful!
This was wonderful! Just such a warm, cozy convo! ❤ I look forward to one day visiting BGS!
Really appreciated this episode and your conversation! The exercises will be so helpful.
Thank you for bringing us Flock! I love it so much and I’m hearing such great reviews from all the influencers! Here’s to next year!
Does anyone know what sweater pattern Jess is wearing? I've scoped Flock and La Mercerie's IG and not seeing a post with it. It's so cute!
Looks like the Alder Sweater by Rebecca Clow
@irmagabbard Well, then I'm consistent because I have that one in my queue and have loved every one I've seen - thank you!!
OMG, I was just telling a friend that there were so many attendees at Flock, and yet I did not once run into anyone rude! I hope it stays this way! It was a haven!
I loved visiting your shop earlier this year when I was in the area! I can’t believe you started it from your garage. What a lovely team and your fiber curation is top notch!
This was a delight! The JOY of yarn simply radiates from Jess!
Love love love these episodes! I have been munching through them whilst off sick in bed today!
Obsessed with your interviews! I am getting through them like a bag of potato chips! ❤
I can totally understand losing yourself in my motherhood but also losing your sense of purpose in your making. That happened to me when I went to art school. Luckily this sense of purpose came back when I started knitting and dying yarn which has also opened the door again to my sense of purpose to be artistic in other ways like drawing and grafic design.
Jess is SUCH a treasure! I am so so excited for everything that's happening for her. Thanks for showing us her shop!
I’m so excited to visit Bainbridge Island and see the shop
