Thanks for this podcast….all the best to you, Noelle. 💕
Thank you!
Thanks for the podcast, great suggestions for the make a long! I have made one vest and I wear it all the time!❤
Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Noelle. Tuesday nights are my fav now. Thanks for posting a video when you can't make it live! And, thank you both for all the great vest ideas. You are definitely my favorite "enablers"--so many ideas/patterns and your knowledge about all things yarn is fantastic!!
Thank you, it was our pleasure! We could talk forever about knitting and love it when we meet others who share the passion for it.
Thank you both for sharing the vests/slipovers that you did. Several have peaked my interest. Noelle I hope your recovery is going well. I'm currently working on the Raincheck (vest) by Elizabeth Smith and I have my yarn and needles ready to go on the Tides Slipover. in a linen blend. Have a great week and looking forward to the next Knitchat. Kelly I love the woven blanket.I have a 32" single heddle but it seems daunting to make 2 full strips and then seam them for a throw.
Hello Kelly and Noelle !
Hello! Thanks for joining in!
What a great podcast and a great list of patterns. thx!!

I love your collection of suggested vests. Thank you. There are so many great options and inspirations.

Thank you so much for including my pattern in your episode. 😊 Klára
Speedy recovery Noelle, hope your feeling better each day… and Roxie I thinks she is adorable, she makes a great co-host.
I love your lives but I have to admit that seeing the two of you together was also such a treat. And the content was just wonderful, I would love to see more content where you sit together and go over patterns or styles. It was great and I got some great pattern and vest ideas too! More please, I think I will join the MAK. THANKS
Thanks for doing this! Wishing Noel a speedy recovery!
Thank you for joining us in the Knit Chat Cafe!
Don't know what it is, but, i love to see you two on the couch together 😍
Wishing you a speedy recovery Noelle 🩷
Great recommendations ladies! Now I have to drop everything and start with vests! LOL I get hot very easily, so vests really are a good alternative. Thank you for a great MAL idea!
We're not sorry, vests are great for so many reasons. Enjoy the MAL!
So glad to get my Tuesday “fix” with you two. Glad to hear Noelle is home, sending wishes for a speedy recovery ❤️🩹 Terry
Thank you Terry!
Wishing Noelle a successful surgery and smooth recovery. Kelly, your Roxy was amazing, just sharing her couch space with you two. Beautiful cat and wonderful suggestions for the MAL. Thanks for all you do and share
Our pleasure Renee, thank you for joining us.
Thanks so much Kelly and Noelle. Great podcast! Great selection of patterns that cover advance and new knitters also cost effective yarn suggestions as well. Noelle I hope your recovery is quick and Ross is spoiling you. Happy Knitting. P,S Kelly your blanket is beautiful.
You are so welcome Wendy! Thanks for joining in!
Hi, how do I know live time? Im in copenhagen and would like to follow you on tuesday. I enjoy the non "regular" setup (finished obj, on needles, future proj, requsitions).
Thank you
Time in Copenhagen is 6 hours ahead of us, so we would be live at 1:00AM on Wednesday mornings in your time zone.
@@KnitsnPieces wow a bit late/early 😅 If i am awake, I will tune in 🤞
Noelle best wishes on a speedy recovery. Kelly I love the woven scarf. Thank you for all the vest recommendations. I’m going to try the riptide vest. Fingers crossed.😬
Thank you, the Riptide Slipover is amazing.
Wowser that's a lot of inspiration. Thanks for taking the time ladies.
Your woven blanket looks beautiful Kelly 😍
Thanks so much Hayley! 😊
Thank you Kelly and Noelle, it was a great podcast. So many beautiful vests patterns, thanks for doing the homework for us. Please knit or crochet a vest for Roxy! Noelle take care I will thinking of you💕
Thank you Aida! I did make her a hat that left her unimpressed ;-)
Hello ladies. Noelle…keep those feet up! Nothing worse than blood in the foot to get that throbbing! Glad to see this as I’m right into the vest as well. Riding that train as Kelly says. 😃 slow fashion, now that’s right up my alley. I’ve got a Sherpa coat that I haven’t worn for years that would look great as a vest. 😁 Thanks for a great show. See you next week.
Thank you Annie! It's so fun to play with older pieces in our wardrobe and look for new fresh ways to wear them.
Your outtakes are adorable! ❤ very inspiring show. Get well soon Noelle!
Ha, we're glad you enjoyed, sometimes the silliness just overtakes us!
Ladies, thanks so much for the vest podcast. How sweet of you to think of doing this so we have something to watch and not miss you all. I hope you are recuperating well, Noelle, Now to find a vest and give my sleeves a rest to knit. Great pod! Thanks again.
Our pleasure Shawn! We can't wait to see what vest you will knit!
wow, so many great choices, thanks for putting the hours in to create this super list, some I had already picked, Lily Kate France one has well thought out shaping over the shoulders, saw it on Yarn Story recent podcast. Lots of inspiration.
Our pleasure!
The vest MAL will be fun. I have a vest on the needles
I used to plan knitting for 2 seasons but when I had to stop knitting because of medical issues, over a year
Catching up on socks, but sweaters are in a cue waiting to be able to hold the weight of the project
The vest I can manage for short periods of time
That's great to read Bonnie, we're looking forward to seeing what you will make!
Thanks for this, lots of great ideas! Noelle, I wish you a speedy recovery!
Thank you so much!
You've done it now, there's a Hayley tank top! I'm going to have to knit one now! My normal chat name is Hayley Mouse
There is!! Get to work Hayley!! ;-)
Hi Ladies Noelle Best wishes to get over surgery. Kelly I love your kitty and he is so quiet. The vests are all great!
Thank you! We recorded this podcast during Roxy's peak morning nap so we were probably disturbing her! ;-)
Beautiful vests. Noelle, hope you’re better soon.
Thank you Nancy, I hope so too!
Noelle - I hope all goes well and that you have a speedy recovery with lots of time to knit!!
Thank you Jeanine!
Thanks guys ……..I have a Roxy cat too! Hehe! 🐈
The best!
I love, love, love vests! I love knitting them and I love wearing them. I cast on my fourth, the Friday Slipover by PetiteKnit in Holst Supersoft, hold together with Holst Titicaca. And there are still a lot of vests on my list. Speedy recovery, Noelle!
We're so happy that the vests are making the fashion rounds again...we're here for it!
Yes, we are! 💪@@KnitsnPieces
Love all these pattern suggestions! Anyone crocheting a vest is absolutely welcome to join our Crochet Til May garment CAL over in our Ravelry Group. Double dipping is enthusiastically encouraged!
Hi Kelly and Noelle
Noelle, wishing you a speedy recovery after your surgery.
I’ve been watching some of your videos since I met you at Eweknit’s Knit Night. I thoroughly enjoyed them. I haven’t catch a live one yet. Hopefully, next Tuesday.
This video had me feeling inspired to knit a vest. So many great suggestions! Don’t know which pattern I’ll do yet.
Happy knitting,
Rochelle (aka yarnelleknits) 😊💕
Wow Kelly that is one big cat!
Maybe it's just that Noelle is so small! ;-)
Hellou from Czech republic. I like slipover. I make more than twenty and every day implement my OTD.. Eve vest I make three time. And this month cast on four on me. Daniela/NielaD on Ravelry
Be well! Thank you for all of the pattern inspiration. I’m looking for my next pattern, while I’m knitting on the border of the Glittering Snowscape shawl by Stephen West. Almost done!
Geez Louise, now I just want to make everything, lol!! The ravenous appetite for enjoying so many wonderful patterns, just doesn't end. 😁 Anyway, off to look at vests (some really nice ones in the lates issue of Laine and also the book Echoes by Susan Crawford), as well as all of your wonderful suggestions! Thanks Kelly and Noelle, and wishing your feet the best, Noelle! Cheers, Judith 💜
Excellent vest pattern suggestions … added several to my favourites on Ravelry - now … which one to make??
Speedy well wishes! I’m recovering with you, probably!
Happy to join the MAL crochet vest, too! So excited!
Hugs, ladies! ☺️🫶🏻🧶
I'm in! I'm doing the Riptide Vest. Thanks for all the inspiration. I've swatched and blocked on Tuesday and got gauge!
Best wishes for speedy recovery, Noelle ❤️❤️ It was so nice to see you both ❤️❤️ and thank you for make my homework done! Now I know what vest I am going to make with my Andes yarn! Love from Poland ❤️❤️
🌴☀️Beloved Noelle wishing you a speedy recovery we love you both, thanks for the video this week & for caring about the community enough to make sure we aren’t starving while one of you are out. Love the 🤣bloopers btw☀️🌴
wishing you good luck and speedy recovery with your surgery. I love this format of the podcast. Would you consider doing something like this for other kinds of projects as well? maybe at the beginning of each season? Just a thought.
I love all the suggestions! I started the Ranne vest using 2 strands of white Nutiden. I had about 4” done, and put it down for a couple of weeks. When I went back to it, I couldn’t figure out where I was! I can’t rip back and get all that laces and cables back in their proper place, sooooo 🐸 🐸🐸
Ironically I watched this while knitting sleeves! Lol. Great ideas. Thanks as always Ladies...good to see you together. I hope all went well for you Noelle ❤️
Currently, I am working on the Epidote Sleveless Jumper (spelled incorrectly, but that's how the designer spelled it). I had begun the Ivy League vest, but frogged it. It is not charted very well. While the pattern says to do waist shaping, the chart does not show that. Rather frustrating.
Great job! Began the episode thinking I would skip this make-along but I’ve changed my mind. Thanks for all the research. Your efforts are appreciated! Have a smooth recovery Noelle! Just think of all the knitting time available!
Hope surgery went well Noelle…and prayers for a smooth recovery…thanks for the wonderful podcast on vests…🙏🏻🧶💗
Thank you Pat!
Hi Kelly I was wondering how did you reduce the number of stitches on the Always vest shoulders? thats something that bothers me too, the big wide shoulders vests sometimes have but Im never sure how to make them narrower...for instance I want to make that Maple vest but I definitely want the shoulders to be narrower than the pattern seems to be making it so how to modify that? thank you for the podcast about vests today! Love the beautiful, sleepy cat!
Hope and pray your surgery goes well and you recover quickly!
All your vests are beautiful!
I have a couple vest patterns I am considering.
Have a great week!
Wow! That was a lot of work (and probably a lot of fun) for you to source out some amazing vest patterns. Thank you so much. Now....which one to make! Take Care.
I'm excited to see everyone's vests and will be cheering you all on...vests are not for me as my arms are always cold, lol.
Sending you all the healing vibes Noelle!
Thank you for the wonderful bundle of vest ideas. I am very tempted by several of them, but have committed to finishing a sweater that’s been on my needles way too long first.
Wishing you a speedy and gentle recovery Noelle - let us know if you need some therapy yarn dropped off, more than happy to help a knitter out 🥰
Really enjoyed your vest review. Good luck with surgery and recovery.
Any vest pattern suggestion for lett lopi and a bit of color work just at the top? I’m struggling to find one.
Inspiring podcast - so many beautiful patterns.
Wishing you a speedy recovery Noelle!
Some really great ideas. I love the extra layer of a vest nearly all year long. 🇬🇧
Vest project ?!? Very tempting...❤❤❤
I never knew I needed a vest until I test-knit the Always vest. Turns out a vest is perfect for when you need a bit extra warmth but not needing a full sweater. I plan on making the Riptide...I even ordered what i thought was a similar orange from Galt House of Yarn, but it turned out to be slightly different than what I'd hoped...but it will be fine! It is Estelle Eco Tweed DK, which I've never knit with before.
An unrelated question...I'm planning a birthday cast-on of the Piping Hot Pullover. My swatch is 19.5x31...should be 22x32. I really don't feel like doing multiple swatches 🙄...what would you do...keep swatching...just go down a needle size and hope for the best...or just knit the pattern a size smaller?
Hoping Noelle is recuperating nicely❤😊
If you like the fabric and don’t want to do another swatch I would figure out the size to do based on your gauge, especially since your row gauge is so close. Just going down a needle size may not make the difference of 2.5 stitches. i don’t like doing swatches either!!
Great episode. Your cat looks camera shy!! One vest I'd like to add is the Calidez Vest by JenJane Design which is a button up front. I made it this summer and I really like it. It's quick calling for a bulky but I used a worsted. (Netty062 on Ravelry)
Thanks for sharing!! We'll have to take a look at that one!
Thank you for all the wonderful inspiration ladies! Now begins my analysis paralysis!! 😂 I loved the outtake at the end, gave me such a good chuckle! And nice job co-hosting Roxy!🌟Headed to the Rav group to sign up and get lost down the vests rabbit hole!! 🤪
I do the very same thing when trying to start a new project!~Kelly We can't wait to see what you will decide on.
Speedy recovery Noelle, great knitting time though! A special mention for Roxy, great podcast skills! 😂 She looks sooo comfy. Love a slip over. Thank you both as always. 😊
Oh thank you! We were worried she would be a scene stealer but she behaved! ;-)
G’day, another fun program well done, very interesting and inspiring patterns to explore. Take care Noelle, get back on your feet real soon, good on ya Ross for caring for her. Kelly, puss Roxy was so well behaved but a bit distracting she’s a pretty girl. 🍀🍀⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you so much Carolyn!
Enjoyable episode ladies, thank you! Looking forward to casting on my vest (proud of myself, this will be made using stash!). Kelly, that blanket is beautiful! Was so looking forward to seeing it when you mentioned it in the Knit Cafe. What a treat to receive, please let Sara know she creates beautiful things!
Thanks Carol, Sarah is a beautiful maker. Looking forward to seeing your vest
Thanks so much for giving me a Tuesday...I always look forward to our knit chat evening. Speedy recovery Noelle, I hope you are up and around before you know it. Great podcast ladies, thanks again.
You are so welcome! Thank you so very much for joining us each week!
Great episode with so many fabulous ideas, thank you ladies! Good luck with the surgery, Noelle. I hope it's a speedy recovery for you. Cheers!
Thank you so much!
Hi, ladies!!! I’m really looking forward to knitting a vest with all of you!! I cast on (twice actually already) a Fanad Head Vest by Bonnie Dean. My yarn is Noro Ito, an Aran yarn. It was a challenge to match up my yarn quantity and weight with a style that I felt would flatter. This one looks like a winner!!! Take care and feel better soon, Noelle.
Sounds great! Thank you for joining in Susan!
Lots of lovely inspiration here ❤
Another really gorgeous pattern to add to the list is The Ruffle Addendum by Jennifer Paroccinni. Have a great week everyone ❤
Thank you Kim, we will have to check that one out!
Great podcast!
Speedy recovery Noelle!
And that cat! Just gorgeous!
Thank you! 😊
I just love the kitty! I’m looking forward to finding a vest pattern to knit the look such fun and comfortable to wear,
Barbara, there are so many options so have fun making your choice. Ah yes, my cat, Roxy loves to be near someone!
Thanks for all the inspiration - so many more favourites now - looking forward to playing with the stash to choose what to make. Hope your surgery went well and you're recovering with lots of knitting Noelle.
Thank you Sarah!
Wow, what a lineup. Now to choose one. This looks like the KAL will be fun. Thanks for your effort in gettting us all inspired.
Hope you enjoy it!
hi enjoyed watching this i am a new knitte
Burnt orange 11 minute marker
Ooh I have a calico cat too - her name is Bella. Hope your surgery has gone well Noelle. Lovely to still have a pre recorded Tuesday to watch 🎉
If someone is ever on the couch, Roxy wants to be there too!
Thanks for all the inspiration, ladies! I’d be interested in more videos like this. Take care, Noelle.
Thank you for the feedback Elizabeth, more to come!
love the turtle neck vest......
Noelle, I hope you're recovering from surgery well; feet are so sensitive!
Thank you Victoria
Oh oh…. My favourites list grew!
Always a joy to see what flies onto your needles Julia!
Thanks for including the Hayley! 😃
Our pleasure!
wishing you a speedy recovery Noelle!
Thank you Teresa!
Hello Kelly and Noelle from Farnborough, England. I am knitting Norwood by Jenn Steingass. I haven't done colour work for many years. I have carried the floats right round the yoke without a break. Is this correct or should I use a new strand of contrast colour yarn for each section or doesn't it matter? Best regards, Marie
Hi Marie, yes that is the way I would do it. If you have long floats you can catch them with the the alternate yarn
Thank you
I love your orange vest it looks fabulous on !
Thank you Jane! I really enjoy wearing it too.
I can't seem to be able to get the show notes link to work for me. I just get a blank screen. Maybe it's my phone? I really NEED some of those patterns mentioned. Maybe I will have to watch the video again. Not that it would be at all painful to do. You two are such fun to watch. I hope you are doing well Noelle. And Kelly, is your living room totally neutral to showcase the gorgeous yarns you are knitting up? We wouldn't want to take away from their beauty after all. 😂
I wonder why. Show notes link works for me. Do you have a PDF reader on your PC?
here is a direct link to the show notes www.knitsnpieces.ca/shownotes_ep48.pdf
@@leila4989 I think it's just a glitchy phone. I don't usually have problems.
Hope you are doing well Noelle!
Thank you Janice, I am healing well.
2 vests in my queue…guess it’s time to cast one on!
Time to embrace the vest!!

Ohhhhhh so many ideas, I started the Riptide Slipover and had to "restart" because I made an error, so now I have the Riptide on the needles, also have the Trym Vest in Rowan Felted Tweed and now I will just have to start the Virginia! So little time, so MANY IDEAS!
