I was obsessed with Mary Kate and Ashley growing up, and when you were talking about older twin younger twin personalities I swear that 10 year old fan girl in me started nodding and concurring with that assessment 😂
I hacked the cables on the Book Club Cardigan. Happy to send you my chart amends if you let me know where? Also, I recommend you pick up more stitches for sleeves than specified in the pattern. Some people’s sleeves ruckled because there weren’t enough stitches for the depth of the armscye. Bobbles and Berries described the same thing in her most recent podcast. I think she is knitting size 2 and picked up sleeve stitches as for size 4. I haven’t finished the body yet but think I will do the same. Yours is looking beautiful 😍
Thanks for the sleeve tip! I’ll add that video from Bobbles and Berries to my queue to watch before I pick up the stitches for those. It’s too late for me, but I’d be so curious how you modified the shoulders if you don’t mind sharing! Our shared email is thosetwinswhoknit@gmail, or I have Instagram for dms at jessljacobs 🤗🤍
I was thinking the exact same thing @forttud!! My twin is 2 mins older than me and she’ll never forget it! Oh, and I stole her food since I was a few ounces heavier. 😂❤
I’m also knitting the Book Club Cardigan with Purl Soho’s Good Wool held with a mohair! One thing I’ve learned from being in the KAL is that you guys might want to pick up stitches for a bigger size when working the sleeves… that’s what lots of us are doing because the sleeves according to the pattern are kinda tiny and feel a bit tight/disproportionate. Obviously you don’t have to do this, but I just thought I would share in case it’s helpful!
Great advice! I ended up going up 3 sizes for the sleeves on mine so they would match the oversized vibe of the body. It’s a matter of preference but definitely something to think about a bit when picking up for the sleeves.
I just discovered you beautiful ladies about a week ago, so I've been binge watching you from the beginning of your podcasting. I am thoroughly enjoying watching you, and I'm so very impressed about how quickly you knit garments and how beautifully you both knot. Your products look more like high-end store purchases than handmade creations. Looking forward to many more episodes. ❤
I’ve finally managed to watch this video (had baby in June and behind on all my knitting podcasts 😂). Love seeing what you both make. I’ve got my mums old sewing machine and feeling inspired to make something, although maybe not right now 😅. I’ve also finished the tide loop bag by other loops. It turned out so good. I used sandnes garn Line held double. Looking forward to watching your next video at next nap time ❤
Jessica, put the glass pebbles in the bottom of the pocketbook. Then put a plant in a pot on top of the rocks. The pebbles will keep the bottom of the purse flat. You could put plastic bags around the pot to keep the sides from caving in on the pot. Love your your podcast you both are amazing crafters. Diane from Boston
Thank you for a new wonderful and inspiring podcast. Love to hear what you are up to knit and sew-wise. Doing my last summer knit - The love letter to my 16-year-old dd.
I'm a twin and I'm 2 minutes older than my sister. I'm definitely the Type A over-achiever and my sister is more free spirited. I've never considered that until you mentioned that. I should also mention that we are fraternal twins so I guess it's less of a surprise that we are so different.
Cute sewing projects! You can usually add side seam pockets out of another fabric, since the pocket would not be visible from the outside. Just cut four pieces that have one straight edge to connect to the side seam, a straight top to connect to the waistband, and a long curving side and bottom for the pocket itself.
That was a real treat,thank you ladies for sharing,you are so inspiring .It is fabulous to see what you are both working on.Happy knitting 🧶 and sewing 🧵🌺🌺
I like putting my sock dpns in a little cover with snaps, and that would prevent them from going through the weave of the bag. Thank you for sharing all your wonderful makings!!!
You two are just so sweet! I get very exited when I see a new video 😊 I also bought a lot of the Into The Woods colourway in Sunday and Double Sunday. Such a great colour. I think I might make an Oslo hat as well but for now I love my Dual Loop Beanie in Double Sunday.
Adding lots of sewing patterns to my to-make list after seeing the video! I'll get right on it after I finish knitting the Friday baby sweater I'm currently working on. I also have the rooibos sock yarn and am leaning towards making the petal drop socks with it!
i grew up in portland and close knit was my neighborhood yarn store (along with twisted, RIP), such a lovely store! they have the prettiest project bags, my mum got me one for christmas last year and i treasure it :))
It was such a lovely store! They had a great selection and it felt very cozy and welcoming when we were there! You’re lucky to have it so close to where you live! ☺️
That was a fun activity, guessing your ages in minutes and I actually guessed correctly, and not for any particular reason - you kind of fall into that stereotype Type A- Type B , but it also is what is great about you both, you are your own persons. Wonderful knitting and the wedding trip sounds like so much fun. Being a quilter, I am really enjoying your sewing - both of you doing great!!🥳❤
I was so happy to see that there was a new episode, you guys are my favorite! I am looking forward to seeing your fall planning video.❤. I think I will try to get back into sewing with a pair of Pomona pants- you have inspired me.
You should email Gregoria Fibers! I had a question about the Vilma Top and Anna was lovely and emailed me back early the next morning with an answer that was so helpful. Thanks for another great episode. I loved both of your knits 💗
Oh my gosh you two are too sweet! Thank you so much for your kind words 🥹🥹 I can't wait to see how the socks turn out for the test! I also ADORE your book club cardigan Jessica (and your planned book club cardigan is going to be amazing Rachel!)!!! Such an amazing podcast as always ☺💛
Thanks for another great podcast. I love everything but am really interested in making a Julia bag. I think it's really cute and would just use it as a purse and be careful, or for light shopping. I like that Monday sweater too. What a great colour. Love the sewing you do as well.
You can line you bag. I just lined a couple of handmade bags. This way, they keep their shape, and I also put a zipper pocket on the lining. I love your videos
You two are so lucky to have each other and to have such a loving and supportive relationship. I am an identical twin and while I thought I had a pretty good relationship with my sister, when it was tested it fell apart in a very big way. We do not speak and she is no longer a part of my life and it has been incredibly difficult to move through this at 60 years old. I love watching you though because you are such a good example of what a healthy twin relationship can look like. P.S. I knew Jessica was older 😉
We're sorry to hear you and your sister aren't close anymore. We still talk every day even though we didn't live together anymore, so it's hard to fathom not being in each other's lives. We hope you're able to find comfort in the other relationships in your life! Thanks for sharing and knitting along with us for a little while. 🤍
Glad you had such a lovely vacation! I’m with you guys, time for Fall projects! I want to make either another Billie with mohair this time, or the Book club cardigan. As for the Maine cable socks- I am finally almost done with mine. I had the same issue with them being too small. I ended up redoing them with a size 1.5US for the cuff and then a sz 2 for the rest of sock. That seemed to work. Now to get past the second gusset syndrome!
I finished my first-ever pair of socks. The first one went well - for the second one I somehow botched the toe part. But I love them anyway. Started my second pair today. And I really want to try knitting the bear hat (?) from Knitting for Olive - it's soooo cute. But then there are also all the projects inspired by you. The list keeps getting longer :D
The bear hat is so cute!! We don’t have many children in our lives to knit for at the moment, but if we did it would be on the list! 🐻 Hope you enjoy the second pair of socks!!
My first video ive seen of u two, i knew the one on the right was older instantly. I dont have any logic since ive only watched yall for a couple min but the aura on video suggests it
I sat here, wearing my own Audrey Top, matching Rachel just a little bit :) I found some cold brown coloured Cecilia yarn on sale (by Svarta Fåret, exacly the same fiber content as Sandnes Garn Line) and I am knitting a long sleeved Tiril's Summer Shirt by Sandnes Garn Design. Other WIPs I have are a Darling Cardigan by Veronica Lindberg and a forever project: the Honey Washbag by PK. Might also cast on some white cabled socks, because of fall 🍁🍂 Thank you for another lovely video!
I would probably sew up a draw string bag made of linen for inside the bucket bag and stitch it in. If you wanted the bag to be more structural too you could probably quilt the sides or the drawstring bag.
This is my first time here, and I really enjoy your smiling positive chat. While watching you I'm knitting a pair of socks for my ex-Father in law and enjoying the knitting suitable temperatures of the Sydney winter.
I’ve started on my Fall knits. A sweater request as a present. I’m putting a blue, pink, brown and green together and loving the look so far. I look forward to hearing about your Fall plans. 😊
I love watching your happy faces! ❤ I’ve made the Yvonne bag and I don’t think there’s a mistake in the pattern. I ended where she said (only 2 repeats later as I had a tighter gauge) and the instructions for the separate parts worked out fine. I’d recommend doing the straps differently from what the pattern says, though, to get a neater finish. I’d be happy to let you know what I did when you get to that part. I’ve used this bag every day since I made it - since it’s a bit smaller than the pattern size it’s perfect as an everyday handbag. 👌🏻
Ohh this is good to know! If there was it wouldn’t be a big one so I may have just been reading it wrong! I’m so glad to know this! I haven’t read through the straps but I’ll have to take a look :)
I am ALSO knitting the bookclub cardigan, and also knitting size 2 and am about to join for the body. its oh so fun to knit! Though, mines brown and your geen is making me so so jealous
I drew around my feet on cardboard and cut it out so i have a template to check the length of my socks against if I'm travelling and don't want to take my shoes and socks off in public!
The Book Club cardigan is going to need to be an immediate cast on for me now! ❤ Also do you guys know what you're ordering from the new Coast to Coast collection yet? Asking so I don't have regrets 😂
You know us so well 😂 I think for both of us we are most interested in Button, Archer (the brown) and the solid blue whose name I can’t remember right now.. but the question is now if we will get bigger quantities for something other than socks since we’re getting less colors! 😅
Im not familiar with the purse pattern but sometimes when you switch from knitting in the round to knitting flat, your next row is a different one than if you had continued in the round
So nice to have you back :) I saw in the notes that you got some KFO in red currant but I don't think I saw that part in the episode 🤔 I am very excited to hear more about it!! 😍 would you say it's a cool shade of red?
Yes! I ordered some but accidentally left it at home, so I decided to just skip it and talk about it next time! I can’t believe I forgot to take it out of the notes too 🫠 -Jess
OMG I have somehow managed the exact same mistake with my Book Club cardigan! I don't know how but am sort of reassured that it's happened to someone else. It looks glorious in the dark green,
I’m also knitting the main coast summer lee socks in an orange Brown colour! And saldly they are also very thight on me but i hope they will stretch out a bit when wearing them :))
@@thosetwinswhoknit Hey! I just finished the socks and they do stretch a bit but they are still very thight on me. I used US 2mm needles and knitted the first size. Next time I would definitily knit size 2 or 3. Im really in love with the design so I think it will be worth casting them on again 😊 Can’t wait for your next video! Kind wishes Noah
Have you considered overdying your Bisque/Carhartt's? They might look less construction site-esque in a darker colour, if you have some leftover fabric you could do some swatches to see how they turn out before committing :)
I feel like you two would like the gift sock pattern by Ailbíona McLochlainn. It has an integrated heel and it's kind of like a combo of a heelflap and a shortrow heel. I don't think I'm going back.
I am doing a cabled sweater right now and messed it up somewhere as well! What I ended up doing was the area I made a mistake I slipped those stitches to then make it line up with the correct line of the pattern… not sure if that makes sense or solves your issues!
That’s such a good idea!! I’m going to think on that and see if I can do the same! Maybe in the area where the pockets go since I think some of those cables will be hidden anyways 🤔 not 100% sure on that though!
Did you see Starlight Knitting Society when in Portland, and Knot Another Hat in Hood River? Starlight Knitting Society is my favorite, Ritual Dyes is great as well. 😊
Omg I made the exact same mistake on my Book Club Cardigan!! It’s driving me nuts but I also have no idea how I made that mistake. I think on one of the fronts when I picked up stitches I just accidentally started the cables on the wrong row. With the cables on the shoulder there’s a really cool modification someone posted in the KAL chat on instagram. I can send the info / person who did it if you’re interested!
I made the same mistake on the book club cardigan but on the sleeve since it’s in the round! I thought maybe I didn’t skip a cable row or something but I still can’t find where I made the mistake for the life of me.
Did you visit the yarn store in Cannon Beach? It I so nice. My son lives in OR. And refinished the cannons found on Cannon Beach. It is one of my favorite places to visit.
For the bookclub Cardi - Did you start the cable on a different row on the left panel by accident maybe? Eg first one was on row 4 instead of row 2 when you started
Another lovely podcast ❤ ı love my letho cardigan( by natasja hornby ) and try to finish Dont ask cardigan and juttu cardigan both by Isabell kraemer . Love from Istanbul❤❤❤😊
Hi girls, love the podcast. With the Julia bag ( our daughters name bye the way) why don't you line it ( there will be a tutorial on line then use a magnetic fastening to keep it closed ❤
I wonder if you slimmed the leg of the carhartt trousers if it would give it a more feminine look and give a vibe that a high street fashion designer took inspo from a job site. Could be cute paired with a tight white tee!
Unfortunately not this year 🥲 a friend of ours is getting married on the 10th. But assuming it continues next year we have very serious goals to make it in 2025!
Jessica, I think I may know why your cables have gone awry. Did you stop knitting mid-row at some point, then pick it up and mistakenly knit back across the first half of the row? I ask because I have just frogged back 7 rows in my Book Club for the same reason 😬 I had worked across half of the RS the right front, then put my knitting down and later picked it up and worked back across the WS instead of completing the row. The pattern repeat looked correct but I had effectively added two extra short rows into that portion of the pattern, putting them out of step with the rest. It really became obvious the next time I hit the end of one of the large diamonds, when it looked like I needed to cable on the wrong side to get it to cross at the correct point. Hope yours has sorted itself x
I do! The pattern is a 4 row repeat with two rows being stockinette, so when I get to that part of the pattern I knit one of the stockinette rows, then do a German short row turn and purl back, then continue again in the pattern 😊 I hope this makes sense and helps!
Am i the only one not knowing what „sterching“ does meen? (Don‘t even know how to write it) What you did in the end with the julia bag…. Please help me 😂
Ahh I knew that and thought about trying to correct it in editing but couldn’t think of a good way to to it 🙈 my English brain always wants to pronounce the J
I love your podcast. I love the idea of a plant hanger for your purse. You could put the straps on each side. I also like the snap in the middle idea. Do your husbands like that you knit and do they mind you knitting when you are visiting or doing things together?
Thank you so much! 😊 I think they have an appreciation for our knitting, and they’ve picked up some of the vocab which is pretty funny! They hear “just let me finish this row” on the daily 😂
A drawstring lining for your bucket bag would keep things from falling out and keep knitting needles from poking through!
Ohh I hadn’t thought about a drawstring, but that would be great!! I’ll think on that idea!
I thought exactly the same. This would be really the cutest, I think 😊
I was obsessed with Mary Kate and Ashley growing up, and when you were talking about older twin younger twin personalities I swear that 10 year old fan girl in me started nodding and concurring with that assessment 😂
Everyone has already suggested a lining but how cute with a wooden toggle button. As you were showing thats what i envisioned. Beautifully done.
Either option, or both, would be so cute!! Thank you! 😊
I hacked the cables on the Book Club Cardigan. Happy to send you my chart amends if you let me know where? Also, I recommend you pick up more stitches for sleeves than specified in the pattern. Some people’s sleeves ruckled because there weren’t enough stitches for the depth of the armscye. Bobbles and Berries described the same thing in her most recent podcast. I think she is knitting size 2 and picked up sleeve stitches as for size 4. I haven’t finished the body yet but think I will do the same. Yours is looking beautiful 😍
Thanks for the sleeve tip! I’ll add that video from Bobbles and Berries to my queue to watch before I pick up the stitches for those. It’s too late for me, but I’d be so curious how you modified the shoulders if you don’t mind sharing! Our shared email is thosetwinswhoknit@gmail, or I have Instagram for dms at jessljacobs 🤗🤍
You could make a cotton liner for your Japanese yarn bag and baste it in. Then it can be a project bag for socks.
I definitely think I'm going to try something like that! The bag is the perfect size for socks! Thanks for the suggestion! :)
"Which still counts" made me laugh. Sisters! Your knits always make for such wonderful inspiration in knitting for my daughters. Thank you!
Haha! I say the, "Which still counts" because my twin is 6 minutes younger than me lol
Every minute counts! 😂
I was thinking the exact same thing @forttud!! My twin is 2 mins older than me and she’ll never forget it! Oh, and I stole her food since I was a few ounces heavier. 😂❤
I’m also knitting the Book Club Cardigan with Purl Soho’s Good Wool held with a mohair! One thing I’ve learned from being in the KAL is that you guys might want to pick up stitches for a bigger size when working the sleeves… that’s what lots of us are doing because the sleeves according to the pattern are kinda tiny and feel a bit tight/disproportionate. Obviously you don’t have to do this, but I just thought I would share in case it’s helpful!
Great advice! I ended up going up 3 sizes for the sleeves on mine so they would match the oversized vibe of the body. It’s a matter of preference but definitely something to think about a bit when picking up for the sleeves.

I’ve also finished the tide loop bag by other loops. It turned out so good. I used sandnes garn Line held double. Looking forward to watching your next video at next nap time ❤
Jessica, put the glass pebbles in the bottom of the pocketbook. Then put a plant in a pot on top of the rocks. The pebbles will keep the bottom of the purse flat. You could put plastic bags around the pot to keep the sides from caving in on the pot. Love your your podcast you both are amazing crafters. Diane from Boston
I can’t remember if I commented this last time but I knew Jessica was older - she’s had the same tapestry needle for like a decade
Hi from Rachel! I don’t know how she does it 😂 but very older sibling of her!
we need to see ya'lls sock collections....
We might actually do a video on this someday 🙊

Ahh that is such a beautiful color! And a great pattern if I say so myself ☺️
I would line it with a print fabric and use it as a project bag. You can add a covered or crochet button if you want to close it up.
I was so happy to see that there was a new episode, you guys are my favorite! I am looking forward to seeing your fall planning video.❤. I think I will try to get back into sewing with a pair of Pomona pants- you have inspired me.
They’re a really great pattern for some easy sewing! We lengthen ours a bit if it helps at all! 🤗

You can line you bag. I just lined a couple of handmade bags. This way, they keep their shape, and I also put a zipper pocket on the lining. I love your videos
You should make the liner as a string bag, which is slightly taller than the bucket bag with a beautiful fabric.

I have some of the sea foam in Natural extrafine! She dyed it up for an ICT yarn crawl i think? When she first moved into her dye studio.
Ohh that is so good to know!! It’s such a sweet color!!

The same thing happened to me with the Maine Coast socks-I knit the first one and it was much too tight. I haven’t had the heart to try again.

@@thosetwinswhoknit the bigger quantities is what I'm torn on as well, because I'm so drawn to Button and Archer! 😂
I would like to make a loose fitting pullover for this fall; preferably with larger needles. Do you have a favorite pattern?
Rachel, you could always over-dye your Eleonora dress with Rit Dye or something similar to make it a different color that feels less nightgown-ish.
Ohh I like this idea a lot! I’ve used Rit Dye before on yarn but haven’t tried fabric before!
Im not familiar with the purse pattern but sometimes when you switch from knitting in the round to knitting flat, your next row is a different one than if you had continued in the round
The green sock yarn color is like a light matcha.
Ohh I love that! 🤗💚
Just watching atx beat skc x
Looking forward to going to kc for the return match

My Austin fc scarf coming on a treat 😂
Im so inspired for the Book club cardigan because of your choice of yarn color! Could you share what the color name it is please 😊 Thank you so much!!
Thank you!! It’s listed as “Wild Thyme” on the Blue Sky Fibers website. ☺️
@@thosetwinswhoknit 🥰Thank you so much!
So nice to have you back :) I saw in the notes that you got some KFO in red currant but I don't think I saw that part in the episode 🤔 I am very excited to hear more about it!! 😍 would you say it's a cool shade of red?
Yes! I ordered some but accidentally left it at home, so I decided to just skip it and talk about it next time! I can’t believe I forgot to take it out of the notes too 🫠 -Jess
@@thosetwinswhoknit it s not a problem it just got me excited for the next time 🤣
@@thosetwinswhoknit by any chance, is one of you Finefiberco? you have such a similar aesthetic
OMG I have somehow managed the exact same mistake with my Book Club cardigan! I don't know how but am sort of reassured that it's happened to someone else. It looks glorious in the dark green,
I’m so glad to know I’m not alone in this mistake!! 😂
I’m also knitting the main coast summer lee socks in an orange Brown colour! And saldly they are also very thight on me but i hope they will stretch out a bit when wearing them :))
Ahh hopefully they do!! Please give an update on them when you finish, it is such a pretty design!
@@thosetwinswhoknit I Will
@@thosetwinswhoknit Hey! I just finished the socks and they do stretch a bit but they are still very thight on me. I used US 2mm needles and knitted the first size. Next time I would definitily knit size 2 or 3.
Im really in love with the design so I think it will be worth casting them on again 😊
Can’t wait for your next video! Kind wishes Noah
Have you considered overdying your Bisque/Carhartt's? They might look less construction site-esque in a darker colour, if you have some leftover fabric you could do some swatches to see how they turn out before committing :)
You could look for a buckle and knit a stap for the closure would look very cute
I feel like you two would like the gift sock pattern by Ailbíona McLochlainn. It has an integrated heel and it's kind of like a combo of a heelflap and a shortrow heel. I don't think I'm going back.
I am doing a cabled sweater right now and messed it up somewhere as well! What I ended up doing was the area I made a mistake I slipped those stitches to then make it line up with the correct line of the pattern… not sure if that makes sense or solves your issues!
That’s such a good idea!! I’m going to think on that and see if I can do the same! Maybe in the area where the pockets go since I think some of those cables will be hidden anyways 🤔 not 100% sure on that though!
Did you see Starlight Knitting Society when in Portland, and Knot Another Hat in Hood River? Starlight Knitting Society is my favorite, Ritual Dyes is great as well. 😊
We did not! But I think you just gave us a good excuse to go back!! 😅 Oregon is beautiful and had so many good yarn and fabric stores!
@@thosetwinswhoknitside note - Starlight Knitting Society doesn’t charge shipping 😊
Could you turn the project for the bag into a top with a short sleeve? That lace is so pretty, I think it would be lovely as a little shirt.
Omg I made the exact same mistake on my Book Club Cardigan!! It’s driving me nuts but I also have no idea how I made that mistake. I think on one of the fronts when I picked up stitches I just accidentally started the cables on the wrong row.
With the cables on the shoulder there’s a really cool modification someone posted in the KAL chat on instagram. I can send the info / person who did it if you’re interested!
I made the same mistake on the book club cardigan but on the sleeve since it’s in the round! I thought maybe I didn’t skip a cable row or something but I still can’t find where I made the mistake for the life of me.
Did you visit the yarn store in Cannon Beach? It I so nice. My son lives in OR. And refinished the cannons found on Cannon Beach. It is one of my favorite places to visit.
I can’t believe we forgot about that one! We did visit that shop!!
Jessica. Do you own a steamer for clothes? They are fantastic and get wrinkles out in a snap! It avoids blocking to freshen things up without soaking.
I used to but lost it and I haven’t gotten around to getting a new one. 🥲 I need to do that, it would be so much quicker!
For the bookclub Cardi - Did you start the cable on a different row on the left panel by accident maybe? Eg first one was on row 4 instead of row 2 when you started
I must have! It would have been easy to do if I wasn’t paying too much attention when starting that shoulder!
I love the dress! It’s so romantic. I see you on a beach at sunset with your hubby. Swoon ❤
Ahh thank you!! It is such a romantic pattern 🥰
Another lovely podcast ❤ ı love my letho cardigan( by natasja hornby ) and try to finish Dont ask cardigan and juttu cardigan both by Isabell kraemer . Love from Istanbul❤❤❤😊
Hi girls, love the podcast. With the Julia bag ( our daughters name bye the way) why don't you line it ( there will be a tutorial on line then use a magnetic fastening to keep it closed ❤
I love your knits! Could you do a tour of all your knits you still own? Greetings from Salzburg :), Austria
Thanks for the idea!! That might end up being an insanely long video so we’ll think on how we could make that without it getting too boring 😅
I wonder if you slimmed the leg of the carhartt trousers if it would give it a more feminine look and give a vibe that a high street fashion designer took inspo from a job site. Could be cute paired with a tight white tee!
Are you guys gonna make it out to Flock Festival?!
Unfortunately not this year 🥲 a friend of ours is getting married on the 10th. But assuming it continues next year we have very serious goals to make it in 2025!
Jessica, I think I may know why your cables have gone awry. Did you stop knitting mid-row at some point, then pick it up and mistakenly knit back across the first half of the row? I ask because I have just frogged back 7 rows in my Book Club for the same reason 😬 I had worked across half of the RS the right front, then put my knitting down and later picked it up and worked back across the WS instead of completing the row. The pattern repeat looked correct but I had effectively added two extra short rows into that portion of the pattern, putting them out of step with the rest. It really became obvious the next time I hit the end of one of the large diamonds, when it looked like I needed to cable on the wrong side to get it to cross at the correct point. Hope yours has sorted itself x
Do you have the short row mods for the season socks on Ravelry? I'd love to know how to do it. Thanks!
I do! The pattern is a 4 row repeat with two rows being stockinette, so when I get to that part of the pattern I knit one of the stockinette rows, then do a German short row turn and purl back, then continue again in the pattern 😊 I hope this makes sense and helps!
❤

Am i the only one not knowing what „sterching“ does meen? (Don‘t even know how to write it)
What you did in the end with the julia bag…. Please help me 😂
Haha I sprayed starch as the pattern recommended! Hopefully that helps 😂
@@thosetwinswhoknit ahhh. Okayyy
Feel a bit silly right know but thank you so much for your answer
Thanks for a great show! If you want to sound really Danish, pronounce that yarn "E say ah"...Isager.
Ahh I knew that and thought about trying to correct it in editing but couldn’t think of a good way to to it 🙈 my English brain always wants to pronounce the J
A pair of socks.
I love your podcast. I love the idea of a plant hanger for your purse. You could put the straps on each side. I also like the snap in the middle idea. Do your husbands like that you knit and do they mind you knitting when you are visiting or doing things together?
Thank you so much! 😊 I think they have an appreciation for our knitting, and they’ve picked up some of the vocab which is pretty funny! They hear “just let me finish this row” on the daily 😂
