Both of your sweaters are inspiring me to get going on my sweater knitting this fall!!
I love firewood! The idea that something so pretty is one of the first to come back after a fire is incredible.
Fireweed!
Getting in cars with strangers just because their knitters cracks me up! But I would do the same thing! 😂.
Thank you for taking care of those kittens! You are wonderful, Jodi!
I put the ribbing on my neckline, too. Great pattern. Mine has Spincycle stripes. Love it.
Thanks so much for coming to visit me at my home tonight! I needed your visit. 💛. It is fantastic to meet with knitters all over the world and have that common thread 🧶, connecting us together. Thank you, again for being such a blessing 🤗😘🙏🏻 .
Jodi, there is a place in heaven for you. Your kitten story was heart warming.
Oohhhh yes to a week re: NY in 2022!!
Just tried your Starbucks drink Jodi! So delicious!!! Thank you both for the wonderful podcast!
8 tried it this week. YUM!
Good morning ladies! It’s Thursday already! I’m retired so I don’t wait for the weekend- I can make my whole week be a weekend!
That cowl would make a beautiful sweater
Dam I wish I lived closer to you o would have them all in a heartbeat. Thank goodness for people like you !!!
Polydactyl cats are also known as Hemingway cats as Ernest Hemingway was known for keeping polydactyl cats. I think their little mitten paws are adorable!
I totally get what you’re saying about the awesomeness of our international knitting community! Last night, I messaged a fellow “Ravelrian” from Australia with a question about one of her colorwork masterpieces. When I got up this morning, I found her response. Our interaction reminded me yet again of the generosity of the folks in our far-flung knitting universe. You two live in Alberta, I live in Philadelphia, my wonderful Aussie correspondent lives in Melbourne, and sometimes, I feel like we all live around the block from each other.
I sooooooo wish I could take those kitties home!!! Hearing about their rescue made my day!
I love both of your sweaters!!!
thanks, Sheila!
Jodi that was incredibly sweet of you - what a great thing you did for those kitties 💕
Thank you again, Tracie for your incredibly thoughtful and helpful response on Ravelry. You are indeed a yarn substitution and sweater modification QUEEN!!! I just finished my fingering weight "So Basic Sweater" by Maxim Cyr. It fits like a dream and I'm so excited to knit another one. You gave me the confidence to try to knit it in another yarn weight and I can't wait to cast on. I just love our knitting community and I want to thank you both for helping to foster such a supportive environment.
YAYYYYYY!!! So happy that you love your amazing sweater! Have a great time swatching for version #2. It was my pleasure to send a reply, and I am thrilled that it made some sense. 😉
Have you seen the show Shetland? It’s fabulous and you will see a lot of scenery.
Not a book, but a good film related to missing indigenous women is Wind River with Jeremy Renner. It’s on Netflix now, I believe.
We will check it out. Thanks :D
Those scissor covers are the best gifts!! Everyone loves them or wants to steal them. 🤩❤️🇦🇺
Jesabelle bags are like butter, so soft it’s amazing!!
Thanks for the book recommendations! I listen to audiobooks while I crochet/knit and recommendations are always welcome! Love your podcasts!
you're welcome!!
I LOVE you guys!
Love you girls and your knit collage sweaters are going to be so awesome
"My dog ate my ball band" 😂 And I thought my dog was weird when she ate blueberries off the bush 😂😂😂
Thanks for the catch-up. I need to take a weekend and just play in my yarn
Oh Jody! My daughter is always drawn to the polydactyls. They are the sweetest babies ever!
omg when I told my parent about this part of youtube they didn't believe how many people are part of it. I always feel like so many people either knit or crochet because of this end of youtube. (also there are three other people I work with that crochet soooo)
Adorable FO Tracie! I think I need to copy your ‘winterized’ version with the long sleeves and neck trim.. About the raglan section - it’s primary purpose is to limit the amount the shoulders are dropped. Without the raglan increases, the width of the shoulder gussets would have to be greater. And yes, they do contribute to the sleeve circumference, and therefore impact the depth of the yoke section that is knit straight before starting in the round. It’s a bit of a “hip bone’s connected to the backbone” situation. 😉
thank you Heidi! I think I need a version just like yours too. It was such an enjoyable knit from beginning to end. Knitting stripes is SO addictive! Thanks for explaining the little raglan part. I haven't seen that construction before... but will do whatever you say! LOL. xo💖
@@traciemillar 😅
You can donate your books to the library too. That’s what I do after I’ve read a book.
Thanks for your podcast! Jodi, my eye wants a little black ribbing around the neck of your GORGEOUS sweater ♥️🧶👍🏽
I’m so excited to see you today!
xo!!
Beautiful sweaters!
thank you!
You two touch my heart when you talk about the way we need to navigate this coronavirus world. Thank you for sharing your feelings about it all💕🧶🌱. And All The Yarny Goodness !
Love you girls!! When you were talking about Jake Gyllenhall, it brought me back to the SNL episode with him on Bronx Beat with the "Sweata Weatha" ladies... Super funny!
Love that pink clutch
the leather is like buttah!! Beautiful.
Love hearing about the books you read. My favorite way to hear about new books/authors is from other readers. I’ve never heard of Chevy Stevens and have her book on hold at the library. I too would love to have hard copy books but yes I read so much I don’t know what I’d do with most of them. I only buy a hard copy book if I’m going for it for a second read. I am a re-reader of some series. I rad typically via audiobook or kindle ebooks to keep the amount of things in my studio apartment to a minimum or essentials. 😃😃😃💜💜. Nice catching up with you ladies.
Not tacky! Think they would make darn cute hats
Our last overseas trip (from Melbourne) was to Orkney & Shetland. It was the best! And the ferry trips were wonderful.
Earnest Hemingway only owned polydactyl cats...lots of them 😂
There is an amazing BBC tv show called Shetland, nothing to do about knitting but gives you an good feel for the area. It’s beautiful ♥️
I think I need to watch this one!
Shetland is a series based on the books by Anne Cleeves. She also wrote the Vera books series which BBC also turned into a series as well.
Love that series
Loved that series. I’ve binged it twice so far. 😆It’s so fun to put yourself in the scenery and life. 😍
Oh yes, girls, you can fly from Aberdeen. I think also Glasgow has flights north - well, they did at one time.. the boat via Northlink leaves Aberdeen in the evening and it's a slow journey north. They take 8 hours to sail, although the trip could be made in five if the engines were revved up. The good thing about the boat is that, if you have sea legs, u go to the bar and have a few en route. Top tip.....Time your visit to the Shetland folk festival and you will have live music in the bar. Love from the Shetland isles xxx
I love you guys. That’s it, that’s all!
Always love your podcasts… thank you
All this yarn is absolutely gorgeous !!
Jodi , your sweater is beautiful and looks so comfy. You give me courage to try steeking!
I lost my precious sister to breast cancer. Dye my hair pink every October in her honor - pink was her favorite color. Will be happy to join this upcoming breast cancer fund raiser. Thank You for sharing.
I’m waiting on a JesabelleB order! Small Cognac twill/denim with matching small notions case: My new sock kit!
Watch Kristy Glass’s episode about Henry’s yarn shop! Amazing community story about a yarn shop. The owner goes on 2-3 month trips to Africa to teach English, knitting & buy crafts from the local women to sell in her shop. The community pulls together to sign up for shifts to cover for the owner. She’s a retired teacher who is following her dream to own a yarn store. An amazing, inspiring story!
Thank you so much for chatting about the books!! I love to read at night in bed before I sleep (yes, like you Tracie I sometimes stay up way too late!). I had NO IDEA about Reece’s Book Club! Ive been living under a rock. I am now following. Finding books to read, that I know I will finish and love is hard, but with recommendations it always helps make my decision easier.
Just about to start Lianes new Apple book. Cross fingers it isn’t like the Nine Perfect Strangers series. I enjoyed that but like you Tracie, I can’t imagine what it would be like in book form.
Hi from Adelaide, Australia too!! ❤️
Jodi, if you still feel you need to do something to tidy up and protect your steek edges, stitch a piece of grograin ribbon over them. If you don’t have buttonholes, putting the ribbon on back of the button band wil allow you to stitch a buttonhole and cut it. The ribbon will provide stabilization
I was reading up on flyfishing in Shetland. Lots of variety and accessibility. Trying to convince my Dad to come to woolweek with me one year. He would love the farm visits but a bit of fishing doesn't hurt.
Always get your kits can't wait for this one
OMG, I would just have you two on all day if I could! 4 hours tsk tsk bring on the marathon!!!! 😹😹😹 My late husband stole the neighbors cat and had her fixed. I always called him the reincarnated St. Francis. He loved animals and it tore his heart out to see his neighbor’s let their cat keep getting pregnant so he took her in and had her fixed. 🙀😻😻😻
We went to Wool Week two years ago. The boat trip was horrendous (for me). I’ll take a plane the next time! It’s a lovely place with even lovelier people. We took the ferry from Aberdeen but you could also go from Bergen, Norway (same distance).
I really appreciated your comments regarding gauge. I’m swatching for Knitterella’s Marled Cozy Raglan and I’m having trouble with gauge. ☹️
I haven’t watched Nine Perfect Strangers yet. I read it and I agree that it was a little confusing. A lot of characters to follow!
Read books two and three by Abby Jimenez. She has another books coming out in April. Her books will make you laugh out loud 😁
I have a plastic eye glass case that I put my small stuff like ear buds in
Loving your sweater. Thank you for podcasting. I would love to get in on the kit hope I didnt miss it.
Wow such glorious yarns this time! One day I would love to be a part of a Knit Collage KAL! Your sequin mohair would make a fun Christmas/New Year’s special sweater/topper. I’d pick that beautiful aqua or silver and make “A Fairytale with a frill” pullover. But I’m thinking, Prosecco, Lana Pullover, Ranunculus, or Cedar might work too, it someone likes the idea.
Also a fun hat, cowl or shawl. Sequins aren’t everyone’s thing, but sometimes they are fun and can be elegant too. Cheers!
Lol. I'd love Togo next year, but a little fat from south Australia! Lol
Hello from Australia. Stormy weath
Love you two!!
Love your sweaters 😍.
That’s how I ended up with my kitty……. He was almost starved to death and on my front porch. Have no idea where he came from but his name is Tiger( grey / black striped ) and he’s fixed and rotten to the core !! Lol. Have a wonderful day and enjoy being a foster mom !!❤️❤️
A book for you to check out is "Once Two Sisters" by Sarah Warburton. She is a new author, a friend of mine and a knitter.
I agree “9 perfect stranger” was a terrible read! I don’t even want to watch the series. But from the same Author I loved “ the husband secret”
You ladies are the best
I agree! I abandoned the book!
Loving the book recommendations!
We used to foster mom cats with kittens and some of them would arrive in such sad condition! Some of them wouldn’t even be able to care for their babies, eyedropper feeding six kittens a million times a day will certainly put you off wanting more though! But I really loved doing it…
Those kittens look like mine!!! they're so cute
OMG Jodi your cat story! I wanted a maine coon cat so bad with multiple toes. I found someone local to me and got a beautiful female kitten. My daughter and I got ringworm from her (she was a carrier). Then my daughter got shingles also. She was so angry with me because she was leaving to go back to her 2nd year of college for pledge week and looked a mess! I still have my cat but she is not very friendly since I put her in quarantine for a month! My cat hides when my daughter is visiting which is okay since my daughter hates my cat!
I have a pair of Raycon earbuds. They have an “awareness mode” setting so you can wear both, hear in stereo, & not miss the whatever is happening. I like that because sometimes I don’t want to hear people. They are very affordable too; less than $100!
Someone may have said it during the chat, but you can use your Airtag on something else because you can use the “Find my” feature on another Apple device to find your AirPods!! Ask me how I know. (Live and learn.) It can even “make a sound” on a single earbud. That’s what I wish I knew earlier! I lost one earbud, but was super happy to find out that I could purchase an earbud replacement for $89 instead of the full cost of a new AirPod Pro. FYI: I bought a leather keychain case, so now I have a way to find my keys too ecause I can use the “Find my” AirPods. Twofer! Like an Airtag on both my AirPods and my keys! So, find something else to put your Airtag on, like your keys (unless you want to do what I did and use your AirPods case as a key chain.😉
Your sweaters are so beautiful! I listen to you at night before going to sleep & my husband always say are you watching the ‘Girls’? He likes to listen to you too!
BTW - the real Hollister Ca. is inland, Apricot orchards, farm land for food & cattle. Pretty - but not ocean front Laguna Beach everyone thinks. My niece & nephew were very disappointed! Ha!
When they use a cotton core for their silk/ wool yarn is it less thermoregulating? Thermoregulation is why I go for wool, silk, and linen.
I’d watch your telethon. 😁
A book I would like to recommend to your viewer's is Amy Herzog's Ultimate Sweater Book. She stresses that you should knit a gauge swatch you like and tells you how to modify the pattern so that your gauge works. I am reading it for a second time.
Love my kindle, don’t like holding heavy books in bed. Like the books and movies discussion.
It's my local yarn shop, Little Red Mitten is the best!
Hi Jodi, I am looking for the colorway names used in your Esther cardigan (I know it's Shelter and know the main color). I can't find the episode where you initially talked about the yarn - would you mind letting me know the colors used in the yoke? I "need" one just like it 😏- same color and steeked, of course!! #twins #notcopycatbutinspiration #fomo Thank you from Los Angeles!!
I had to put an AirTag on my AirPods too! I was constantly misplacing them around the house.
How can I buy a tube blank from Jodi the colors are gorgeous.?
Sweater question. Wht is the best way to "take a sweater in"? Or is it not possible. I have just finished wool and berries by joji, and it is very wide. I need to take about 2-4" off in the circumference. Is that possible? What would you suggest? Thanks in advance. Love you ladies🥰🥰
I think us UA-cam knitters/crafters are the best
good idea a telethon with spotlight guess....
Do you ever use the wool on the wall behind you? It could be so many things. Dream wall
Tracie, whatever happened to the pattern for the socks with the stripes and duplicate stitch hearts you promised to write? I bought the kit from Jody. Would be happy to test knit it for you
A trick I use is, I hold both needles together and cast on over them both. Then, when I go to knit that first row, the stitches are tight and I can get the needle under the yarn easier. Helps me a lot.
9 Perfect Strangers Book was 1 million times better than the series (which was shot last year in my home town).
I’ve watched enough of the TV show Shetland to know that 1) you can get from Scotland to Shetland on an overnight ferry, 2) you can get from Scotland to Shetland on a plane, and 3) everyone who lives there either murders, is murdered, or solves murders for a living. They don’t talk much about knitting, though LOL.
hahah!
💗💗💗 I think we like the same shows!
@@rachelmcmillan879 I find this one irresistible. I wonder how many people have visited Shetland just because they fell in love with visuals of the opening credits of the show? What a place! And Shetlanders can wear their hand-knits year round. Heaven!
@@lizholzer4930 So true! We fell in love with Scotland on our first cycling tour and can’t stop going back, though Covid stopped us, for now. We are cycling the outer Hebrides next. We also love Vera, though it’s not in Scotland. Love British murder mysteries!
@@rachelmcmillan879 An acquaintance of mine recently opined that her #1 desert-island yarn pick would be a woolly worsted from her favorite US manufacturer. I was baffled, because my idea of a desert island is someplace where you wear only loincloths and spend your days swatting flies. She clarified: She was imagining some desert island in the North Sea LOL.
Yeah, Vera… good show. But don’t these UK mysteries give you the impression that half the denizens of the smaller British villages are homicidal maniacs? Yet all of us knitters would love nothing better than to go there.
What about The Yellow House by Sarah Broom? Great!
Hello I'm from Maine
Me too 😉
Small balls = useless
Lolz…..Im dying 😂
Jodi is it necessary to use that word?
What do you 🤔
Unable to find Katia Casipea in the US. Is it available in Canada? Katia does not ship to US😭😭😭. ANY SUGGESTIONS ANYONE.? Thanks
