Honestly, I don’t mind when you get off track. It’s lovely just to hear you guys chat. So stop correcting yourselves! If the conversation privets LET IT! You’re both wonderful. Keep up the great work. 💕💕
How many other knitters are out there like Kim and me? It seems like everyone I’ve met after starting to work at our LYS 2 years ago has been a part of a knitting group and watched UA-cam videos all these years. Adding the community aspect of knitting to my life has been this incredible gift. I so appreciate all your time and work you put into this community
My LYS is Apricot Yarn and Supply in San Diego California. Friday night at social knitting I sat with a couple from Seattle. She recommended your vlog to me! I was a solitary knitter before retiring 4 years ago.
Kim, my Scottish Granny said to tell you that wool floats and was used in fisherman’s knits with specific family cables and knots, so if the fisherman was lost at sea, the wool sweater could ID the lost soul. The fisherman’s cables sweater that would float to shore had a family cable and knotty pattern that was created for each fisherman family. Interesting so thought I would share as you mentioned your sweater floating in the lake.
Oh my goodness!!! I love this! Thank you so much for sharing. I just copied and pasted it in my E11 notes so I can remember to mention this in our next video. Is The Maker San Jose a yarn shop? Are you the owner? :) Kim
The “grammar lesson” made me laugh. I always find it jarring when people say “knitted” - and I realized this is probably an English/Canadian usage versus American English. I would never say “knitted” for the past tense whereas I think most Americans (including my husband) would prefer “knitted” as the past tense.
This episode is one of my favorite things. The length of the video is organic and great...it didn't feel long, almost sad when you were done. LOVE your relaxed banter. I appreciate the discussion about the purl stitches. I learned to knit from my grandmother and my mom, and when I started watching knitting videos I realized I was twisting my knit stitches because I was knitting through the back loop...since I was a kid. It was challenging learning to knit right. I have no idea what kind of cast on I do either...I've never seen anyone cast on the way I do. lol
Thanks, ladies, for all the work that goes into your podcasts. Whenever I see a long one, I am just ecstatic! I love your sweater, Kim; and, Jonna, you are the best with your sewing interests added in. I have also loved seeing your Ranunculus sweaters; you've really both inspired me, and I am on my first one now. So glad to see you back, and I LOVE the new logo! Stay well!
I’ve been subscribed and loving watching you two since your first episode. I could watch you chat about knitting all day long! It’s like a great knitting session with my besties. Thanks for having me along! This episode was awesome, as usual and I now have a number of new additions to my Ravelry queue. I love the new logo. It captures you both wonderfully and I can’t wait to order some merch once it’s available.
Thanks got the episode! It’s a Saturday evening and I relaxing in bed knitting and watched this over two hour video! It made for a fun knit night! And I prefer your spontaneity and ease of sharing stories with us. So many lovely projects. I want to knit them all. I had to laugh about the Eastern Purl stitch, Jonna. I have never worried about correcting my purl stitch knitting that I was doing it incorrectly. But I guess more it’s time to make the change because you helped me understand what issues it causes. Darn! Continued success in your knitting adventures. StitchedbyMimi
Love listening to your podcasts! It reminds me of how my sister and I talk when we get excited and go off topic, but come back to it ten minutes later picking up right where we left off! 🤣. We do it all the time! Especially when we haven’t seen each other in a while and have a lot to catch up on, so I can totally relate. I really enjoy seeing all your FO’s, WIP’s and purchases too. I learned so much in this episode! Congratulations on 10k+ subscribers!
Loved your long episode. Time is not an issue, if you need to stop the podcast, you just come back to it later and re-start it. and your logo.....OMG! It's gorgeous. I LOVE it! Well done!!!!
Please don't give up! Try it again. And don't forget that Midori Hirose has videos for every stitch and skill on her Ranunculus Ravelry post. And if you still have trouble, feel free to reach out to me/us via our email at ktogwkimandjonna@gmail.com. Happy Knitting! :) Kim
1:41:25 - what Kim was saying is so true! I learned knitting with an eastern purl/KTBL combination. At the time, I didn't know this wasn't the standard way of knitting until I started reading patterns that called for KTBL.... I was so confused haha! It's too much work to configure the pattern to my way of knitting, so I eventually just learned to do it the "right" way
Joanna thank you for mentioning the Mckinney Knittery. I was in TX this week and I went to Unraveled a cute shop in San Antonio on the 7th of September and then in Dallas on Thursday after lunch my mother in law and I drove up to Mckinney to shop and find some more souvenir yarn.
I enjoy your videos immensely! I love the “off script” banter. I love that you’ve both read The Tale of Despereaux. I read it to my fourth grade class every year. My all time favorite Kate D’Camillo book is the Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. I recommend it to everyone. One of my other favorite stories is Winter Solstice by Rosamunde Pilcher. It is for adults only because it would bore a poor child to death. I totally agree with Jonna about summer. Thank you for a lovely video.
Gentleman in Moscow is one of my all time faves! I read it and then I listened to it which was excellent!! All those Russian names etc were perfectly pronounced. Lincoln Highway is next on my list. I didn’t really love Rules of Civility-I thought it wasn’t his best. Anyway, I LOVE you two and really look forward to meeting you at Rhinebeck! ❤️
Hi Kim, totally right in German, ich werde "anschlagen" - ich habe "angeschlagen" , ich "stricke", ich habe "gestrickt" - I also love grammar and learning the correct way to speak 😉😉❣❣ Love your podcast and it dosn't matter if your making other 10 Ranunculus in the future. Very best regards and a wooly hug to you an Jonna from Germany Gisela
Jonna, the purl results in ribbing have always bugged me, but I had to learn to let it go…. I’m sooo grateful to you that you’ve figured it out! Kim, I wanted to knit my two sleeves simultaneously but always mess up when I put the work down, your tip is fabulous. Thank you both.
Hello there! I love watching you both so much and wanted to let you know Jonna, that you tip about putting a button inside the hat to keep the pom pom from being floppy is amazing. My Mom is in a Hats group with her church and they make hats to donate...well I mentioned the botton trick and now we are obsessed! THANK YOU!!!
Hello just found your podcast, loved it and your enjoyment in what you do. I thoroughly enjoyed the fact that you don't call everyone guys so so refreshing
Did I leave a message already? I started to write one... I just wanted to say 'thank you'! This video was lots of fun! I watched it over 3 days while sewing up the seams of one project and swatching for another, my first in unspun yarn (Manchelopi by Wooldreamers). ¡Saluditos!
Love the Logo!! I So enjoy your podcast, I feel like I am sitting in the room knitting with you gals, even when I am across the country in San Diego, Ca knitting along watching you 💖you are both very inspirational💛💛
Congratulations on another amazing episode. I even took notes! Love everything you are working on too. The chemistry you share is magical and I love when you go “off topic”. I look forward to knitting with you on October 8th. Thanks
You two are so enjoyable to watch. I lost it at the “saliva management” comment because although I’ve never been bothered by you two, there are podcasters who aren’t very aware of their odd noises! Welcome back!!
Wow! Packed full of fun and learning and fantastic knits and I want to make them all and I want a friend to laugh and knit with just like you too! Great memory making, as well as skill seed planting with your granddaughters, Jonna, and I love the book idea mentioned above. My SIL makes the greatest memory books of special occasions that become treasures to pour over again and again. Now I am inspired to NEED to make about ten new sweaters- you are very bad for my budget! Lol! 💕 Great logo- you have leapt into fame in a big hurry- I love it!
I LOVE the longer podcasts. You two are so fun to watch. You worry too much about your presentation, we want the real you not the edited and polished you. The way you present is like sitting and knitting with friends. I feel like that’s what keeps viewers coming back. You two. ❤️❤️❤️💙
I’m on vacation on an island in New Hampshire. Knitting the Great Love by Ankestrick for my daughter. I’ve taken a start of day pic every day and sent it to her to keep me motivated and to assure her she’ll get it soon! And yes, anschlagen is the right German word for cast on! Happy knitting!
I woke up thinking about the V-neck on the DD. Some knitters have really deep Vs and others not so much. I wonder if it has to do with row gauge? (Which I haven't checked myself, but will do so now out of curiosity.) Also, pattern size and yarn content (drape). Just things to think about so that you get the garment you want!
What a fantastic episode! And thank you for the link to the combination knitting video. I can confirm this also works spectacularly well for double (2x2) rib. Jonna's Salty Air tees and Kim's Ranunculi look fantastic. I think I might be the only knitter in the world not to have knit these or a Love Note, but I plan to fix that next year. I love your chatter, so don't change your format, please! 💜
Thanks for sharing your lovely knitting and pattern choices with us. I love listening to your chatter while knitting. Cute logo. I usually watch your videos on my TV, and I can’t figure out a way to add comments there. But I alway “like” your episodes. Johnna I hope your blue phase continues, but the cause becomes more and more bare able and easier to talk about. 💕
Thank you thank you for the detailed ranunculus explanation. I'm only on my third but haven't tried the variations - I just try on. Love the details you've given!
So glad you both are over you bout with Covid. I, myself, am just recovering from it. I was fully vaccinated and boosted!! Rebounded after Paxlovid! Thankfully much better and back to knitting. In fact, I’m just starting my FIRST Rannuculus!!! I just did a long tail cast-on, loosely. Prayerfully it will go over my head!😂😂 Thank you both for such a fun and informative episode! And i so enjoyed listening as you two “caught up” after being apart for a while. Reminds me so much of myself and my BFF, who passed away April 2020. Your laughing together is so much like ours used to be! Treasure your time together! ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hi Cynthia, We're so happy you recovered from your bout with COVID! And CONGRATULATIONS on starting your first Ranunculus! I hope you love it as much as we do. Thank you for watching and enjoying our banter. We feel so privileged to be your new knitting friends, but we are so so so sorry that you lost your real life knitting friend. We will definitely continue to treasure our time together in memory of her... :) Kim & Jonna
I always knit my ribbing flat, I inc one stitch as my ‘sewing seam’, knit front and then back, then seam together. If I’m doing a decorative edge, I often join back in the round to complete, them sew the ribbing seams together.
The increases on the Anker Summer Shirt by Petiteknit has yarn over increases and you knit them through the back loop on the next round so there are no holes. I think maybe do a tiny swatch to see what yarn overs look like x I’d be interested to see which stitch you knit the yarn overs with. And yes, UA-cam is a great resource for queries such as these. Good luck!
What an awesome episode for so many reasons! I feel like I’m sitting there with you catching up and sharing projects. Jonna, you are going to LOVE the Gentleman in Moscow - it has become my all time favorite!! I can’t wait to hear what you think!
Always enjoy your podcast! Here’s a book recommendation- The Gown by Jennifer Robson. Set in post WW2 London about the young women who embroidered then Princess Elizabeth’s wedding veil, their challenges of living in post-war England, and a modern times connection. Was a great book that I’ll probably read again!
Our grandchildren LOVED beading when they were little. They are now 9, 11, 13 and too cool to craft with grandma. But they enjoyed baking bread and making strawberry freezer jam.
We've already made a mermaid's tail, a skort, two bracelets and a necklace, and made banana bread. She put a few stitches in her brother's knitting project. Lots of crafting happening over here!
The Tale of Despereaux is such a lovely book! I love almost all the characters. If you enjoy the Tale of Despereaux I highly recommend Esperanza Rising (for some social commentary) and Bridge to Terabithia (for fantasy and one gut-renching part)
Hi Lexanne, Thank you so much for your recommendations. I haven't read much since returning from vacation, but I can't wait to finish The Tale of Despereaux and start something else! And we're so happy you like our logo! :) Kim
Every podcast gets better! Honestly, so happy to have found you. Kim - LOVE your hair in this one. It really suites you along with your beautiful tan and lovely blue sweater. Jonna, what a stunning dress - you are just beautiful. I love your choices in knits - some I have done, some I will do. Jonna, never say never about wheel spinning. I did and two wheels now sit in my knitting room. My first class was only in July! Lol. I can’t believe that you have John Arbon - That is the exact color I ordered in Fiber from the UK. Can’t wait to get it spun up. My sister and I are flying in from Colorado to Rhinebeck. So excited to meet you in person. 🙌🏻🧶
Thank you so much! We would love to meet you!!! Just look for Kim's purple hair! I think we're going to figure out a time to be in a specific place at Rhinebeck if you don't run into us. Thank you for your sweet comment. I've heard that the Spinning Guild is a good place to look for a used spinning wheel? Am I getting ahead of myself? I can't wait to give it a try.
24:17 About Kim's knitting 3 pieces at once on one needle.. I am a lazy knitter aswell, and I am not just kniting them at once on one needle, I also knit them as one big piece (remove 2 edges stitshes where seams should be), that way I don't have to sew them together later 😄 and sleeves I always knit in rounds. I'd rather change pattern a bit and re-count my stitches that have to sew them together later 😅😂 35:44 Arne and Carlos used their lake to finish their scarfs this summer (2023) 😄 1:40:08 Eastern Purl is called Grandma's Purl in Eastern Europe (especially is ex-ussr countries) 😄 because back in 80's we were taught to knit by our grandmas and they all purled that way. I use this purl when I know that in next row at that place I have to make ssk, so those 2 stitches are already will be in right position, and I don't need to slip them but just knit together t make this decrease.
Wow! I (Kim) am too lazy to rework a pattern, unless it's stranded color work knitted flat... then I'll definitely steek to KITR. And I love your explanation of Grandma's Purl. So brilliant of you to do it when it will make the knitting easier. ❤️ Kim
I love the books by Amor Towles. I read A Gentleman In Moscow and thoroughly enjoyed it. Then I listened to the audio of Rules of Civility and loved that as well. I am now listening to The Lincoln Highway . I listen to audiobooks while I am knitting.
I was so excited to actually catch a video in time to use a coupon code 😊love my knitting bag which by now holds mohair yarn for my first ranunculus - now I’m only searching for the 2nd yarn to go with it - 🧶I’m a newbie at ranunculus ( I know - late to the game lol) and feel a bit lost - so I’m watching 👀and rewatching any videos where folks share their experience - so enjoy your ramblings- keep it up and happy knitting 🧶
@@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna will do - went to my local yarn shop to pick up the yarn to go with my mohair for the ranunculus- asked the owner if she had made one yet - she said no but has her stash ready - then we both said: I’m just late to the party lol Now because the Ranunculus is more involved- I also wanted a more mindless piece - so I bought yarn for the ‘weekender light’ but now want some mohair to go with it as I was recommended yarn that was much thinner and my gauges are way off - also watching and rewatching several different tutorials on the tubular cast on - I’m determined to learn it and I’ve started it several times but always lost on the second row - 😳but I’m stubborn and it will work eventually 🤷♀️happy knitting 🧶
This is my favorite episode of yours yet thanks ladies😚 My book recommendation is The Alchemist by Paolo Coehlo. It’s amazing you will love it!!! I have some light purple Zoey yarn I think I will make another Ranunculus for next spring/summer. 💜
Hello. I’m watching some older episodes and found this one. I absolutely love the version of the ranunculus you are wearing, so much I’ve bought the yarn. Can I ask please, did you hold the yarn double. Thank you so much 😊
Hi! So happy that you’re watching some older episodes. And no, I held a single strand. All of my modifications (i.e. smaller needle for ribbing) are on Ravelry in my projects. 😘 Kim www.ravelry.com/projects/itismekimmy/ranunculus-3
Oh, that's going to be gorgeous. When the Easy-V came out, I thought it was pretty but had no intentions of making it. Since then, I have seen some stunning versions!! It has such a lovely neckline. Tag us so we can see yours!
Another fun podcast! Jonna, It was so interesting to hear about the different ways to purl. I remember reading in Carson Demers’ “Knitting Comfortably” that the eastern purl is a good method for reducing forceful exertion in the hands. I’m definitely going to give it a go after hearing about your success!
Great podcast. Enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks for all the information. I can’t wait to knit all the things. Sorry to hear about all the family illnesses. Love the new Logo. I need a coffee cup and a car decal. 🧶🧶🧶
Jonna, you inspired me to knit the Salty Air Tee with the Linen Quill yarn and I too am pulling out the scratchy pieces. Do you find that the tee is scratchy or irritable on your skin? And too warm to wear on warm days? I love your podcasts! The longer, the better!
Thank you! No, I haven't found the tee to be scratchy except on hot, humid days when I probably shouldn't wear it! Are you sensitive at all to alpaca? Have you blocked/washed it? If so, do it again and use a little hair conditioner. Hope this helps. J
My mom taught me to sew and I made clothes for my stuffed animals. I must've been pretty young, because my mom passed away when I was 7. But I still have those memories! I no longer know how to sew, but I have 2 of her beautiful quilts as keepsakes. Your granddaughters will appreciate these memories with grandma!
We've already made a mermaid tail and a skort! I bought a small, portable Janome machine that was half off. She is really enjoying it. Thank you for sharing your memories.
Honestly, I don’t mind when you get off track. It’s lovely just to hear you guys chat. So stop correcting yourselves! If the conversation privets LET IT! You’re both wonderful. Keep up the great work. 💕💕
Awww, THANKS! We'll try to stop correcting/apologizing, but that's part of our personalities too. :) Kim & Jonna
You both are lovely! ..and we enjoy your fun personalities!

Nice to see you back!
Just one word to describe your podcast - joyous. Thank you
Awwwww... Thank you so much! :) Kim & Jonna
Loved your long episode. Time is not an issue, if you need to stop the podcast, you just come back to it later and re-start it. and your logo.....OMG! It's gorgeous. I LOVE it! Well done!!!!
Thank you!
Love your logo. A tote bag/project bag with your logo would be great !!!
I love your podcast a lot 🎉with great information and inspirations from two lovely young grandma❤❤ thank you😊 love from Istanbul❤
Really appreciated all the detail about your Ranunculus, Kim. I have attempted one previously but gave up. You’ve inspired me to try again 😊
Please don't give up! Try it again. And don't forget that Midori Hirose has videos for every stitch and skill on her Ranunculus Ravelry post. And if you still have trouble, feel free to reach out to me/us via our email at ktogwkimandjonna@gmail.com.

I didn’t really love Rules of Civility-I thought it wasn’t his best. Anyway, I LOVE you two and really look forward to meeting you at Rhinebeck! ❤️
Knitters are the best community ever!!
Right??!
Hi Kim, totally right in German, ich werde "anschlagen" - ich habe "angeschlagen" , ich "stricke", ich habe "gestrickt" -
I also love grammar and learning the correct way to speak 😉😉❣❣ Love your podcast and it dosn't matter if your making other 10 Ranunculus in the future.

Super cute logo!! Love it!

Hello just found your podcast, loved it and your enjoyment in what you do. I thoroughly enjoyed the fact that you don't call everyone guys so so refreshing
Thank you! We hadn't noticed that we don't do that! Thanks for bearing with our other quirks :-)
Kim - I do a lot of TAAT knitting, you stitch marker connection is brilliant! Why didn’t I think of that? Thanks!
Hi Sue,
It works great! And this is the first time I thought of it. :) Kim
Love the logo! ❤
What a great episode! Love all the finished projects, the WIPS, yarn, photos; love it all. You ladies make the world a better place!
Thank you so much!
Always enjoy the knitting parties, doesn't matter the chat is about, that's the charm to watching your videos xx
Did I leave a message already? I started to write one... I just wanted to say 'thank you'! This video was lots of fun! I watched it over 3 days while sewing up the seams of one project and swatching for another, my first in unspun yarn (Manchelopi by Wooldreamers). ¡Saluditos!
Thank you! I have some Nutiden unspun yarn that I haven't tried yet. Curious!
Love the Logo!! I So enjoy your podcast, I feel like I am sitting in the room knitting with you gals, even when I am across the country in San Diego, Ca knitting along watching you 💖you are both very inspirational💛💛
Love that!
Congratulations on another amazing episode. I even took notes! Love everything you are working on too. The chemistry you share is magical and I love when you go “off topic”. I look forward to knitting with you on October 8th. Thanks
See you there!
The hill is great fun!!!
Lovely logo !!!
Love the long podcast! I never get bored watching your video!
Haha! Whew! :) Kim
Two hours are talking about knitting!!! 🎉🎉🎉 love it. It was so much fun to listen to you all talk about life and knitting.
Love the new logo!
You two are so enjoyable to watch. I lost it at the “saliva management” comment because although I’ve never been bothered by you two, there are podcasters who aren’t very aware of their odd noises! Welcome back!!
Jonna, your green dress is gorgeous and, Kim, your blue Ranunculus is so pretty. I love all your makes and your new logo is adorable. 😊
Hi Shannon,
Thank you so much for watching and commenting! And we're so happy you like our logo.
:) Kim & Jonna
Love your new Logo! It’s terrific…..
Wow! Packed full of fun and learning and fantastic knits and I want to make them all and I want a friend to laugh and knit with just like you too! Great memory making, as well as skill seed planting with your granddaughters, Jonna, and I love the book idea mentioned above. My SIL makes the greatest memory books of special occasions that become treasures to pour over again and again. Now I am inspired to NEED to make about ten new sweaters- you are very bad for my budget! Lol! 💕 Great logo- you have leapt into fame in a big hurry- I love it!
I LOVE the longer podcasts. You two are so fun to watch. You worry too much about your presentation, we want the real you not the edited and polished you. The way you present is like sitting and knitting with friends. I feel like that’s what keeps viewers coming back. You two. ❤️❤️❤️💙
So correct! Anschlagen, ich habe angeschlagen or ich schlug an 🥰. My grammar heart is flipping with joy 🤩
Loving you discussing grammar!
Yay! So happy I got it right. We love grammar, but still make tons of mistakes. :) Kim
Still loving your videos. Wish I had someone to knit and laugh and share with like you guys. I guess you are filling the void.
I listened to Lincoln Highway on audiobook. Loved it!!!!
Now that I have read it, I'm curious about the audio version. Wouldn't it make a great movie??? I hope someone reads this!
Hey, about the yarn over short road it’s leaning towards the Following stitch, so need it to that one
Your Sabella turned out beautiful. I couldn’t help it I started my sabella yesterday. I was supposed to wait for fall. It’s fun so far.
Your new logo is absolutely perfect!
I’m on vacation on an island in New Hampshire. Knitting the Great Love by Ankestrick for my daughter. I’ve taken a start of day pic every day and sent it to her to keep me motivated and to assure her she’ll get it soon! And yes, anschlagen is the right German word for cast on! Happy knitting!
I love you ladies!!! Knitting, sewing, and books!! Fantastic Info and soo motivating. Thank you!! Hugs from Mtl, Quebec Canada! 🇨🇦🧶🤗
Thank you so much!
Ladies, your logo is adorable just like yourselves. And you made me buy the Dingley Dell by IK. Looking forward to casting it. Cheers
I woke up thinking about the V-neck on the DD. Some knitters have really deep Vs and others not so much. I wonder if it has to do with row gauge? (Which I haven't checked myself, but will do so now out of curiosity.) Also, pattern size and yarn content (drape). Just things to think about so that you get the garment you want!
Your new logo is so great! love it. another excellent episode, and so much fun to follow along with your knitting adventures.
Thank you so much!
What a fantastic episode! And thank you for the link to the combination knitting video. I can confirm this also works spectacularly well for double (2x2) rib. Jonna's Salty Air tees and Kim's Ranunculi look fantastic. I think I might be the only knitter in the world not to have knit these or a Love Note, but I plan to fix that next year.
I love your chatter, so don't change your format, please! 💜
Thank you! We're so glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for sharing your lovely knitting and pattern choices with us. I love listening to your chatter while knitting. Cute logo. I usually watch your videos on my TV, and I can’t figure out a way to add comments there. But I alway “like” your episodes. Johnna I hope your blue phase continues, but the cause becomes more and more bare able and easier to talk about. 💕
Thank you thank you for the detailed ranunculus explanation. I'm only on my third but haven't tried the variations - I just try on. Love the details you've given!
Ranunculus love!!! :) Kim
Lovely to see you both
Yes! i would join your FB group!
Love the logo!!!!!
I love your book review and love, love, your logo!!! Wonderful!! love,hugs,prayers.
Ladies - you can talk about the weather for an hour... very enjoyable while i am knitting. thanks for taking the time to provide this content.
Honestly, this is so sweet. I often say that I could listen to Arne and Carlos read a telephone book!!
I’m knitting with linen quill mountain bluebird, right now and I find the “vegetable matter” is really pieces of the linen thread so I leave it in.
Right!
So glad you both are over you bout with Covid. I, myself, am just recovering from it. I was fully vaccinated and boosted!! Rebounded after Paxlovid! Thankfully much better and back to knitting. In fact, I’m just starting my FIRST Rannuculus!!! I just did a long tail cast-on, loosely. Prayerfully it will go over my head!😂😂
Thank you both for such a fun and informative episode! And i so enjoyed listening as you two “caught up” after being apart for a while. Reminds me so much of myself and my BFF, who passed away April 2020. Your laughing together is so much like ours used to be! Treasure your time together! ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hi Cynthia,
We're so happy you recovered from your bout with COVID! And CONGRATULATIONS on starting your first Ranunculus! I hope you love it as much as we do.
Thank you for watching and enjoying our banter. We feel so privileged to be your new knitting friends, but we are so so so sorry that you lost your real life knitting friend. We will definitely continue to treasure our time together in memory of her... :) Kim & Jonna
I saw your new logo and just love it. Nothing like going in style.
I always knit my ribbing flat, I inc one stitch as my ‘sewing seam’, knit front and then back, then seam together. If I’m doing a decorative edge, I often join back in the round to complete, them sew the ribbing seams together.
Uber beautiful Ranunculus, awesome logo, and lovely podcast! Thanks for sharing and being my knitting buddies! ❤️❤️
Any time!
The increases on the Anker Summer Shirt by Petiteknit has yarn over increases and you knit them through the back loop on the next round so there are no holes. I think maybe do a tiny swatch to see what yarn overs look like x I’d be interested to see which stitch you knit the yarn overs with. And yes, UA-cam is a great resource for queries such as these. Good luck!
Hi Melanie. Thanks for the tip! We've also heard that Andrea Mowry has a good YO short row tutorial.

@@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna so does @cadyjax for the half and half triangle wrap x
Jonna, I don’t like summer either, it’s something I just have to get through. I agree, the best thing about summer is that fall is coming! 🍂
Yep!!! Hurry up!
What an awesome episode for so many reasons! I feel like I’m sitting there with you catching up and sharing projects. Jonna, you are going to LOVE the Gentleman in Moscow - it has become my all time favorite!! I can’t wait to hear what you think!
The Lincoln Highway was so engrossing right away. I'm just a few chapters in...I hope so too!
Always enjoy your podcast! Here’s a book recommendation- The Gown by Jennifer Robson. Set in post WW2 London about the young women who embroidered then Princess Elizabeth’s wedding veil, their challenges of living in post-war England, and a modern times connection. Was a great book that I’ll probably read again!
I've started a list and will add this to it! Thank you!
Our grandchildren LOVED beading when they were little. They are now 9, 11, 13 and too cool to craft with grandma. But they enjoyed baking bread and making strawberry freezer jam.
We've already made a mermaid's tail, a skort, two bracelets and a necklace, and made banana bread. She put a few stitches in her brother's knitting project. Lots of crafting happening over here!
The Tale of Despereaux is such a lovely book! I love almost all the characters. If you enjoy the Tale of Despereaux I highly recommend Esperanza Rising (for some social commentary) and Bridge to Terabithia (for fantasy and one gut-renching part)
The logo is sooooooo CUTE!!!
Hi Lexanne,
Thank you so much for your recommendations. I haven't read much since returning from vacation, but I can't wait to finish The Tale of Despereaux and start something else! And we're so happy you like our logo! :) Kim
Love your hair Kim! You both energize me to jump in and try something new. Congratulations on your 10K milestone. 🥂
So glad you're all ok, brain fog is another sad symptom of Corona. Loving your video, fun, informative chat, thankyou, take care everyone xxoo
who would dislike? NO ONE! great episode, thank you
Thank you, LOL!
Every podcast gets better! Honestly, so happy to have found you. Kim - LOVE your hair in this one. It really suites you along with your beautiful tan and lovely blue sweater. Jonna, what a stunning dress - you are just beautiful. I love your choices in knits - some I have done, some I will do. Jonna, never say never about wheel spinning. I did and two wheels now sit in my knitting room. My first class was only in July! Lol. I can’t believe that you have John Arbon - That is the exact color I ordered in Fiber from the UK. Can’t wait to get it spun up. My sister and I are flying in from Colorado to Rhinebeck. So excited to meet you in person. 🙌🏻🧶
Thank you so much! We would love to meet you!!! Just look for Kim's purple hair! I think we're going to figure out a time to be in a specific place at Rhinebeck if you don't run into us.
Thank you for your sweet comment. I've heard that the Spinning Guild is a good place to look for a used spinning wheel? Am I getting ahead of myself? I can't wait to give it a try.
24:17 About Kim's knitting 3 pieces at once on one needle.. I am a lazy knitter aswell, and I am not just kniting them at once on one needle, I also knit them as one big piece (remove 2 edges stitshes where seams should be), that way I don't have to sew them together later 😄 and sleeves I always knit in rounds. I'd rather change pattern a bit and re-count my stitches that have to sew them together later 😅😂
35:44 Arne and Carlos used their lake to finish their scarfs this summer (2023) 😄
1:40:08 Eastern Purl is called Grandma's Purl in Eastern Europe (especially is ex-ussr countries) 😄 because back in 80's we were taught to knit by our grandmas and they all purled that way. I use this purl when I know that in next row at that place I have to make ssk, so those 2 stitches are already will be in right position, and I don't need to slip them but just knit together t make this decrease.
Wow! I (Kim) am too lazy to rework a pattern, unless it's stranded color work knitted flat... then I'll definitely steek to KITR. And I love your explanation of Grandma's Purl. So brilliant of you to do it when it will make the knitting easier. ❤️ Kim
I love the books by Amor Towles. I read A Gentleman In Moscow and thoroughly enjoyed it. Then I listened to the audio of Rules of Civility and loved that as well. I am now listening to The Lincoln Highway . I listen to audiobooks while I am knitting.
I am still in the first few chapters of Gentleman. I really have to finish my DD for the KAL! I hope you love the Lincoln Highway. Keep me posted!
Hello, ladies. Your episodes are really fun to watch as well as being very informative and inspiring. Love the logo!
I was so excited to actually catch a video in time to use a coupon code 😊love my knitting bag which by now holds mohair yarn for my first ranunculus - now I’m only searching for the 2nd yarn to go with it - 🧶I’m a newbie at ranunculus ( I know - late to the game lol) and feel a bit lost - so I’m watching 👀and rewatching any videos where folks share their experience - so enjoy your ramblings- keep it up and happy knitting 🧶
Be sure to tag us on IG or share in the Ravelry group so we can see your Ranunculus!
@@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna will do - went to my local yarn shop to pick up the yarn to go with my mohair for the ranunculus- asked the owner if she had made one yet - she said no but has her stash ready - then we both said: I’m just late to the party lol
Now because the Ranunculus is more involved- I also wanted a more mindless piece - so I bought yarn for the ‘weekender light’ but now want some mohair to go with it as I was recommended yarn that was much thinner and my gauges are way off - also watching and rewatching several different tutorials on the tubular cast on - I’m determined to learn it and I’ve started it several times but always lost on the second row - 😳but I’m stubborn and it will work eventually 🤷♀️happy knitting 🧶
This is my favorite episode of yours yet thanks ladies😚 My book recommendation is The Alchemist by Paolo Coehlo. It’s amazing you will love it!!! I have some light purple Zoey yarn I think I will make another Ranunculus for next spring/summer. 💜
I've read it! Thank you! Have you read, By The River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept? Also very good!
@@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna Oh that’s great to hear! I have not read that book but I will put it on my list-thank you for the suggestion!
Hello. I’m watching some older episodes and found this one. I absolutely love the version of the ranunculus you are wearing, so much I’ve bought the yarn. Can I ask please, did you hold the yarn double. Thank you so much 😊
Hi! So happy that you’re watching some older episodes. And no, I held a single strand. All of my modifications (i.e. smaller needle for ribbing) are on Ravelry in my projects. 😘 Kim

@@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna thank you so much x
Hello from Syndey Australia
Another fabulous episode girls😁😁😁
Absolutely love your logo😍😍😍
Keep up the fantastic work 😄😄😄
Thanks for the great podcast. Love your chats and all the knitting. I'm sitting on my front porch with a sweater on. it a weird breeze.
Sounds wonderful! Can't wait for cooler weather.
You're family crafting adventures sound fab, I make paper beads too
I have ordered cascade 220 in colorway, shire for the 1908 sweater. When my Easy V is complete, 1908 will be the next cast on.
Oh, that's going to be gorgeous. When the Easy-V came out, I thought it was pretty but had no intentions of making it. Since then, I have seen some stunning versions!! It has such a lovely neckline. Tag us so we can see yours!
I like seeing your finished objects modeled or worn by yourselves over on a mannequin.
Another fun podcast! Jonna, It was so interesting to hear about the different ways to purl. I remember reading in Carson Demers’ “Knitting Comfortably” that the eastern purl is a good method for reducing forceful exertion in the hands. I’m definitely going to give it a go after hearing about your success!
Keep me posted on your progress!
Great podcast. Enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks for all the information. I can’t wait to knit all the things. Sorry to hear about all the family illnesses. Love the new Logo. I need a coffee cup and a car decal. 🧶🧶🧶
Oh, a car decal! Hadn't thought of that!
Thank you so much.
Jonna, you inspired me to knit the Salty Air Tee with the Linen Quill yarn and I too am pulling out the scratchy pieces. Do you find that the tee is scratchy or irritable on your skin? And too warm to wear on warm days? I love your podcasts! The longer, the better!
Thank you! No, I haven't found the tee to be scratchy except on hot, humid days when I probably shouldn't wear it! Are you sensitive at all to alpaca? Have you blocked/washed it? If so, do it again and use a little hair conditioner. Hope this helps. J
So great to see you lovely ladies…👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🧶💗
My mom taught me to sew and I made clothes for my stuffed animals. I must've been pretty young, because my mom passed away when I was 7. But I still have those memories! I no longer know how to sew, but I have 2 of her beautiful quilts as keepsakes. Your granddaughters will appreciate these memories with grandma!
We've already made a mermaid tail and a skort! I bought a small, portable Janome machine that was half off. She is really enjoying it. Thank you for sharing your memories.
