I’m dead!! That man said “frosting?” 🤣
LOL, I can't do salad dressing :)
You guys bring so much to the knitting community with your podcasts. It’s always a mood lifter watching your podcast. Thank you.
Aww Sharon!! Thank you soo much, that means a lot to us 🥰
Ray you are adorable. You are always so complementary of Kevin’s knits. You are a Ray of sunshine.
Aww Yvonne!! Thank you so very much 🥰🥰 That really means so much ❤️
Hey Ray and Kevin!
We loved the knit knights - looking forward to the next one. Thank you both for hosting.
Have been loving the podcast and all the makes - hmmm your Honey Comb and Dotted Rays are so inspiring that I’m thinking of bumping it up in my queue. Thanks for the fun video (with plenty of yarn candy).
Thanks so much, friend!! I would love to see what you come up with if you do the honeycomb shawl. Your color choices are always awesome 🤩
I love the chatty episodes, it’s like I’m sitting chatting with my besties ☺️
Aww thank you Brenda!!
Greetings from Canada! Couldn’t agree more with your “found my people” comment! On a regular basis I am completely humbled by the warmth and kindness shown to me from this community. Our viewers recommended your podcast and I am so enjoying following your fibre journey...you’re both great company when I’m working in my sew studio.👍
Aww thank you so very much!! We agree (if we haven’t said it enough already lol 😂) that this community is by far the most generous and amazing group of people!
Beautiful dyed yarns. Love the pink and gray. Also, very lovely and expertly knit FO from you both and the cowl pattern looks lovely. Looking forward to knitting it. Your discussions of the items you knit, your success and failures with upsizing, colors, etc are very helpful. Many podcasts just quickly show items and although it is great to see the FO, the watcher doesn’t get a feel of what it was like to knit it, or the decision making process. You guys help with that a lot! Keep up the great podcasts. Thanks!!
Hi Sheryl - Thank you so much for all the kind words, we really appreciate it.
I feel the same way on my moms anniversary of passing. She also passed away 4 years ago and I was also going through my husbands illness on top of losing our oldest furry baby two weeks before we lost my mom. I tend to take the month of January and just keep busy. Congrats on your Etsy shop. I sell in Facebook groups (cross stitch stuff) and do well, no fees to Etsy. Best of luck with everything.
Dirty Ballerina might be my favorite yet! I hope it gets repeated, along with the blue/grey in that shawl. 😍 Also, a tip for skeining yarn - attach a hook to the wall and put the yarn over it. You can wind it tight, way easier. Also, also, I always let the dyers know when I release a pattern with their yarn. ❤️
Thank you so much Star! We’ll reach out and let them know 🥰
I didn't think you would be podcasting today...was so happy to see your podcast pop up. Love you guys and your knits. The anniversary of my parents passing (9 days apart) haunts me every year for a month..especially since the family overruled me and had mom's funeral on my birthday. So yes Kevin your not alone feeling that way....sending BIG VIRTUAL HUGS.
Hi Susan - So sorry to hear about your parents, it is so tough. Thank you for sharing.
Congrats for all the cool stuff going on with y'all. You have been one of the joyful aspects of this past year. Thank you for your inspiration.
Thank you so much! That really means the world to us. We could t agree more. You all have been the same for us 🥰🥰
I appreciate you guys and I appreciate the emotional talk too. 😊 that’s life, you know? Emotional stuff, knitting, laughter and yarn, what’s not to like? 😁
Thank you so much Sanna, we really appreciate the kind words.
Kevin, Ray, yes, give the yarn dyer a courtesy “heads up” a bit before you release your pattern; that way they can plan to prepare a supply of the colorway(s) you feature (so customers don’t get frustrated with the dyer if the colors are sold out or discontinued)- this wisdom was shared by River Knits on a podcast Q&A I saw recently. 😀
Hi Linda - Thank you for the info, I appreciate it.
@@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast the discussion where I learned this was via Fay Dashper-Hughes’ Crochet Circle Podcast; she’s a creative professional, designer and business owner, who is committed to sharing yarn-y knowledge and expertise- find her on Instagram @crochet_circle_podcast 😀
@Ashley Moschel basically, my “take” on this is that a spirit of mutual respect and support goes a long way between those who create patterns and the people who supply the product (yarn) and tools (needles, hooks, etc.) 🧶💫🌱😀
Love watching you two. Congrats on your new milestone. 👏
Thanks so much! 😊
I was so pleased with my yarn. Keep up the good work. I agree with you about the knitting community. Everyone seems so kind.
Thank you so much Marcia!
Aww Kevin I am so glad you have found your group! I am always happy as Larry to see you guys have uploaded a new episode! X
And congrats on 8000 subscribers!
Thank you!!
Aww thank you Katy!
Awe I love you guys, you could be my grandkids. Kevin you had me crying and the laughing in the first 10 minutes. So happy to have found your podcast. Sending hugs to all.
Thanks Judy! We are happy you found us too! Thank you so much for your kind words 🥰🥰
Awesome show guys! Really enjoyed seeing two people happy and doing fun things with yarn.
Hi John - Thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed the episode.
your shows are never poop. I love you guys. keep up the amazing work.
Thank you Cynthia!
I watch many fiber podcasts and what I like about yours and fiber hustle and a few more is that you’re real. You share your lives and chit chat and have funny moments that make it fun to watch. I like that you’re not prepared because it’s entertaining. If you were perfect I would probably not watch. I enjoy watching you while I’m knitting or crocheting and I enjoy seeing your projects. Congrats on your dyeing project Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much Deb! That really means the world to us. We’re really glad our personalities come through 🥰🥰
❤️ Love the color pooling in the socks (and the micro striping). Gorgeous. Those dotted Ray’s shawls are beautiful and look soft and scrunchy.
Thank you Gisele!! Dotted Rays is one of our favorite knits.
Ray, that yarn you selected for your cardigan is such a great color. It will look so good on you.
Thanks so much!! I’m super excited 🥰
Grocery Girls make me laugh out loud too, but so do you two 😂. You're podcast is always so enjoyable and quirky - which is awesome!
😊 thank you Jacquie.
Congratulations on everything! Always look forward to what you've been up to and what you're doing next. Thank you for sharing your story with us. ❤KateColors
Thank you, we really appreciate it.
Great everything! Projects, socks and shawl, future cardigan, yarns, your yarns. Beautiful everything! Looking forward to the next Saturday's zoom and whenever knitting in the park happens. Some of the gang from the Knit New Haven group social distanced/masked knit outside the store yesterday! Best wishes for more April!
Hi Michael - Thank you so much. Can't wait to get together outdoors. We were so bummed we couldn't make it to knit new haven yesterday.
Omg. Suri is literally a god sent! I absolutely love it and used it with a fingering to knit the Cozy Classic Raglan. And I’ve used it to make Max’s Snuggle Cowl and Socks. ❤️
Hey Zack!! I couldn't find any for my Snuggle is Real cowl, I am going to make it again and use suri.
So I’m going to forgive y’all for doing the Etsy shop when I was on vacation. I didn’t get a single piece of yarn and I’m so sad lol. But seriously, congratulations on a successful shop opening. I’m so happy for you two. Y’all are the cutest. I just love watching y’all. Y’all have made me laugh at some of the hardest days of my life. I lost my grandfather who was my anchor and then a few months later I lost my precious baby niece before I even got to hold her. You guys bring levity to people who need it as well as just being an overall great podcast. Thanks. Please keep doing all the fiber things.
Hi Lacy - Thank you so much. So sorry to hear about your losses, losing a loved one is so hard.
Ray - Every time you say “9 inch circular needles” it just cracks me up. Every time 😂 Thank you both for brightening my day every time I watch your podcast ❤
LOL 😂
Great cast. Thank you for all the sharing, as they say "sharing is caring". Can't wait to see you guys on the next international knit night.
Can't wait for that knit night.
Guys!! How exciting! I am so happy for the both of you on the Etsy shop and 8,000 subscribers! :)
Kevin, its completely understandable. Grief isn't something one can ever measure, big hugs!
I am so glad you guys podcasted today! Definitely a highlight of the day.
Happy Knitting!
Thank you so much Kaitlin!!
Somehow, I’m only now discovering you guys and I’m so glad I did! I am an avid knitter, yarn collector and podcast watcher. I also have a teeny little knitting podcast too (Yarn=Joy). Glad to meet you both-virtually. Rachel
Hi Rachel - Thank you so much for watching and commenting, we really appreciate it.
Hey you two from so far away :) You're my favourite podcast boys and I watch many! Ray; you never ever boring me, I like your humorand every episode you make me laugh at least several times....evenso does Kevin...you're both so lovely, kind and supported to eachother and to us. Every 2 weeks I enjoy your video so much! Keep up going the way you do :)
A big hug for Kevin...I know the feelings about missing, my father passed away when I was 14...its a long time ago but there are still moments off missing...and it's okay...that feeling shows how much you loved him!
(It's a bit difficult to express myself properly maybe, because English is not my native language but I hope you both understand what I'm trying to say...it comes from a good heart :))
A lot of love from the Netherlands!
Hi Ina - Thank you for sharing about your father, losing a love one is so tough and the moments it impacts you is so random.
Ok guys!
Wow! I feel the chemistry is truly
A wonderful way to start my day ..
Thank you soo much! 💓🌷🌷
Your inspiration is absolutely 💯👌✨
Aww thank you! We totally love doing these and meeting all of you wonderful people 🥰🥰
My yarn arrived today. I love it! Can't wait to cast on ♥️. The extra goodies were much appreciated. I look forward to future shop updates.
Signa - Thank you so much for the order and supporting us with the Etsy store and this channel, we really appreciate it.
I’ve been an emotional wreck the past week and listening to the first 18 minutes I was full of emotions hearing you, Kevin, talk about your 2 weeks. Also how adorable is Ray: “your highs are my highs and your lows are my lows”?!
Hi Michelle - Thank you so much for watching and commenting. Hoping you are having a better week.
Congratulations 🥳 for reaching over 8000 😊 you both have encouraged me to learn to read a pattern . I am a visual learner , love the work you show .
After a long day in mental health care , very relaxing to watch other people share the love of the finer community. Thank you 😊
Thank you so much Lisa!
You two are a marvelous team! Your sharing of your lives warms my heart and makes me want to hug you both! Please NEVER stop this podcast! Have confidence! You are AMAZING & WONDERFULLY FUNNY!
Aww thank you so much Jane! We are having so much fun 🥰
Awww. Thanks for all the love🥰🥰
Of course!!!
Wonderful to see you both again. You both are so talented and fun to watch. Socks, scarfs, blanket, hat are all fab. And the 9’ circular needles in that voice. 😀 😀
Thank you so much!
Love watching you two. At 45 min I saw there was still an hour left and I was like "Yes!". I hope you sell that Dirty Ballerina, such a beautiful color. Can't wait to see what Ray comes up with in his color way. Oh and Ray I miss your sound effect with the Whips, lol.
Hi Wanda!! I am hoping to sell the Dirty Ballerina, I am working on repeating the color. Thank you so much for watching and commenting. I told Ray about missing his sound effects :)
You are so entertaining. Our knitting tastes are similar. And you make me laugh. Thank you for being you--you guys are great!
Thanks Jane! That really means a lot to us! ❤️
SusanLucci!! You guys make me giggle. Thanks for being your authentic selves and sharing your time. Have a great fortnight!
😊 thank you
Hey guys! I so enjoyed watching you both. I loved the first 20 minutes or so of life talk. You guys are just amazing! Kevin, as far as your question about yarn etiquette in a pattern, i’ve been a pattern designer for 12 years, I often tag them on Instagram. Just so they know that I have used their yarn. They appreciate the shoutout. I’m excited for your first design!
Hi Deb - Thank you so much for watching and the info about letting the yarn dyer know.
@@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast Also, I should let you know, you’ve inspired me to cast on a Dotted Rays Shawl. I need to use up some of my yarn. This is beautiful. 🥰
Great podcast as always love all the yarn especially the red cardinals and Ray you did fantastic holding the fort while Kevin was busy with the tree folks happy knitting Joan
Thank you Joan!!
Hi guys, just love your banter and love Kevins laugh. so pleased your shop went well. love the fact its so impromtu. xxx
Thank you Alma!
Kevin, the Dotted Rays yarn reminds me of Oreo ice cream. Your mother will love it. It's great to see other knitters who are attracted to yarn pooling. I, too, love pooling.
Yes Karen!! Love the pooling! And you’re totally right about the Oreo ice cream...yum ❤️❤️
You two always make my day when you have a podcast posted. Kevin, I Love the dirty ballerina 🧶. You will rock the cardigan, don’t let an experience guide scare you, you are a very talented knitter Ray!
Thank you Tamara!
Every year on the anniversary of certain losses, I struggle, and it ends up having like a hangover effect for several days. My heart's with you.
Other things:
Salad with frosting ✅
Court of Silver Flames 🥳
Dying all the things 🌈
Love you guys. Thanks for another great visit.
Hi Justine - Totally get the hangover feeling, that is the perfect description. Thank you so much for watching and commenting, we really appreciate it.
I enjoy dyeing and knitting with saturated colors. It's fun to play with colors outside of my comfort zone but end up giving them away to friends who enjoy those colors.
Yes! It’s totally fun and exciting! What a nice idea to give them to your friends! How awesome 😎
Hey Guys!! Congratulations on 8K subscribers!! Love the bantering. Love all your makes. I love your blanket Ray!! I can picture it on a bed. Have a Blessed day. Namaste.
🙏🏽💜😔💜🙏🏽
Thank you Emilia!!
@@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast You're welcome 💜💜💜💜
I’m new-ish to your podcast and thoroughly enjoy it! I’ve subscribed and now want to binge-watch your episodes starting with #1. Congrats on a fun, interesting podcast!
Hi Angela - Thank you so much for checking out our channel, we really appreciate it.
Hi! New viewer here. I just say you two are delightful. I crochet, and enjoy your podcast. Love seeing your work.
Hi Tanya - Thank you so much for checking out the channel, we really appreciate it.
Kevin... I love the name "dirty ballet slippers" for your yarn...I will make a cowl and wear it in class with my dirty ballet slippers and washed out tights....think of. renaming it to your original idea..just love it. Your dyed yarn is just amazing!!!!!
Aww thank you!!! It has been so much fun dying yarn and getting to share it.
Another wonderful podcast! I was one of the lucky ones to purchase a skein of your yarn! Even better in person! Love the color! I might make socks with my new 9 inch circular needles, yay! Thank you both!
Hi Tina - Thank you so much for the support, I really appreciate it. Can't wait to see the socks.
I always literally LOL with you fellas! Your banter is so funny. You and Chevyrell are two shows I can't wait to watch as soon as they come out.
Thank you so much Jeanne! We have a slight crush on Chevas as well lol 😂
Ray when you do the cable cast on in the round, add one stitch and then when you join, you can knit the added stitch with the first stitch to get rid of that awkward first stitch! :) Love the hat!
Thanks so much Holly!! 🥰
Congrats on 8K...I’m not surprised! Hope to see more yarn in your Etsy shop! Ray, I have total confidence that you will creat an awesome cardigan -you got this! Cardinals...my mother used to feed the backyard birds before she died. My dad took over the role until he died. Then it became my role and when I was late or forgot to feed the birds I heard a bird yelling and it didn’t stop until I went to the back door where a cardinal was looking through the door and chirping up a storm. This happened on 2 separate occasions! I believe!
Thank you Karen! Hoping to have an Etsy shop update in a few weeks. Love the cardinal story, we see a few here and there in our yard.
@@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast I’m sure your (Kevin’s) dad is one of those cardinals!
🌹 awww big hug Kevin! We are here for you to give you lots of support when you have low days. I’m sure you miss your father every day. Ray loves you so much and I’m sure he is your rock!
Thank you so much Veronica!!
I'm so happy I watched this episode! The friendly banter made me laugh and I was motivated to join your spring mal. It's time to bring out the trunk of forgotten wips.
Thank you so much Lucy!
Another fabulous podcast. Thank you for all that you do. ❤️🇨🇦🧶
Thank you so much Gayle!
Found you through Jodi, so excited for a new podcast to binge! Also yes to letting the yarn dyer know you are putting out a pattern in their yarn - not because you need their permission or anything, just to give them a heads up cuz they might get an influx of orders based on people wanting to match your sample - and some dyers will also cross-promote the pattern release too!
Hi Julianna - Thank you so much for checking out the channel, we really appreciate it. Thank you for the info on letting the yarn dyer know.
The green-tone yarn is beautiful, and will make a lovely sweater. Good choice 👌.
Yes! Thank you!
Ray, the swatch for your cardigan is so gorgeous. That's gonna be a great sweater.
Thanks Sandy!! I’m so excited to cast on 🥰
Kevin, I’m really enjoying watching you learn about dyeing. I haven’t caught the dyeing bug yet, but it’s fun to see someone learning.
Thank you Diana!! It is really fun to play with colors and find what works and what doesn't.
Hello from Mounds Illinois. I knit my socks on 9 “ circular needles I use the UA-cam video from The Crazy Sock Lady . Every yarn store that I go to have closed. Neither was very close to me one was an hour away the other one was three hours away both were in other states. Hopefully one will open again that I can visit. That would make a beautiful shawl. The gray and gold is so beautiful and looks so soft.
Hi Janet!! Here is to hoping a new store opens near you.
I knit the Dotted Rays using the stitch marker tip! It became such an easy knit! Kevin both of yours are fabulous!
Thank you Kathy!! The stitch markers really help.
I wish someone would do skeins with turquoise dotted like the scarf you are wearing. I would be happy with a white background with turquoise spots. Turquoise is my favorite color.
That would be really pretty, love turquoise.
I just love you guys. Kevin you are going to make me knit a dotted rays in black and white. It is stunning!
Aww thanks so much!! We were both so happy with how it turned out too 🥰🥰🥰
yes I've been waiting all week for you guys
Thank you Domenica!
Hey guys! Love your podcast. I have watched you from the start. From one HP fan to another, it’s a Time Turner. Just thought I’d mention it in case no one else did. I will definitely knit one. Excited for your pattern release.
OMG I don't know how we both missed that lol, bad hp fans lol.
First time watching and I'm hooked ! You have some great show and tell. Can't wait for the next one
Aww thanks Lanita! We’re so glad you came by to say hello 🥰
You guys are just the best! Lots of giggles as always :D
Thanks Nikki!! So glad we could help bring a smile to your face 🥰
Love that y’all are on today. I’m so in need of your happy humor 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻🧶
Kevin I totally feel you. It’s been 37 years and it still happens. I miss my mom lots!!
Omgosh I hope I can buy something on your next shop update 👍🏻🧶🧡
I love Michael from Piece4peace. He’s awesome too!
You two are one of my top ten for sure. You’ve added happiness during a crazy time of life🧡🧡🧡
My adult household of four all got our first vaccine. We get our second one on 4/29 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Kevin the Dotted Rays shawl is beautiful. Your mom will love it😍
Hi Debbie! Thank you so much for watching and all the kind words, we really appreciate it.
So fun once again, gents. Re: letting dyers know, you don't need any permission, you bought the yarn, but the dye artists love to be tagged on Instagram, etc with your projects. Sometimes I have given a yarn dyer a code for 10% off a pattern that uses their yarn for their email lists. I think it is an individual thing. Shirstycat told me she likes to know ahead of time in case she is running short of a repeatable colorway, and she can bank a few of them if folks start wanting it to make the pattern. That probably just applies to the superstars who sell a gazillion patterns on first release. I try to make sure there are alternates in the pattern - so no matter what yarn people like, indie or big box, they can find the right weight and make the pattern. xx, @Professor-Purl PS Every time Ray said "9 inch circs" I giggled. They are SO polarizing for people. I swear by them. Anyway, thanks again for a lovely watch. No, it was not a "poop show" though when Ray got stranded it was amusing to watch him vamp!
Hi Christopher!! Thank you so much for the info on reaching out to a yarn dyer, I really appreciate it.
I’m here for the feelings ALL DAY!!! Congrats on the launch of your Etsy shop and your subscribers!!! You’ve been a highlight of the last 16 months for us ❤️🧶
Thank you so much!! Aww you are too kind, meeting you guys has definitely been one of the benefits of all of this.
Hey You Guys!! Got my first shot a couple weeks ago, a guy passed out in the after-room. Glad you handled it well. Your Mom is gonna be thrilled with that Dotted Rays, Kevin, it's beautiful. Ray, those socks are killer. Pooling, flashing, striping - every way that yarn could show off, it did. If you use all 4 supercakes of that yarn, your blanket is going to weigh almost 9 lbs. So , cuddly, warm, soft AND it doubles as a dumbell for bicep curls. When Ray said they wanted to cut some trees, I just knew Kevin wasn't coming back because he had to explain why he couldn't lend them an AXE ...
Hi Kitten - Congrats on getting your 1st shot. LOL they didn't have an axe, but they were super nice and charged my battery for me.
Another entertaining video. Thanks for all your efforts.
Thank you Cameron!
Super fun podcast! I hope to get some of your beautifully dyed yarn next time!
Thank you Monica!
Really enjoying your podcast.
Ray, I like the details you give on your sock this time and on your projects in general.
Both of you were great on this in’s.
Thank you so much Joyce!! We’re super glad you enjoyed it 🥰🥰
Hello guys! I really enjoyed this episode! Kevin, if you knit up that yarn you died, I think you will love the way it works up, ! Also, all your knitting projects are beautiful! I do very much look forward to catching up with you guys, so please don’t stop podcasting! See you next time!
Thank you so much, we really appreciate all the kind words.
Just found you guys and I'm absolutely enthralled. You're delightful! 🙂 I'm also a native to Connecticut and lover of Harry Potter. I'm happy to be adding your podcast to my rotation 💜
Aww thanks so much! Glad to meet someone else from CT 🥰😂
First time viewer and loved!! You have both given me some good ideas to knit for my husband. Especially that cardigan. Will be sure to pass your PC on to my viewers. 👍🏻
Aww thanks so much! Glad we could help bring some ideas and inspiration 🥰🥰
Kevin your Dotted Rays is beautiful!! Ray you’re always so upbeat and happy, I just love watching you guys!!
Thank you so much Cassandra!
another enjoyable visit with you boys, though the break toward the end was perfect because i was nodding off, our dog Jazzie got me up at 3am yesterday morning because she just had to 'go'! so i picked up after the video break this morning, just loved it all, Ray i love your colorful shawl and both pair of socks especially the ones that you are knitting socks for your Mom! and Kevin, your Mom is going to love the shawl, it will go with everything you are both such good sons! and congrats on 8000 subscribers, but im not surprised at all, you two are so much fun! have a good fortnight ! love you two! ♥♥♥
Hi Lynn - Thank you so much for watching and commenting, we really appreciate it.
You guys are the best!! I love your podcast!💕💕 Absolutely loved the Susan Lucci reference 😂
😊 thank you Joy
Got my yarn and I love it! Wish I had ordered more. Yes, Jodi of the Grocery Girls was talking about your podcast anf she wants to be invited to your knit night.
Thank you so much for supporting the Etsy shop, it really means a lot. So funny when they mentioned the knit night.
Congratulations on 8000! You are the cool guys everybody wants to hang with now, so really no surprise that your yarn sold out in 30 seconds. You'll be at 10 grand before the end of summer. Great projects, it's always interesting to see what you pick next!
Thank you Mesheela! Always great to hear from you.
@@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast Just Sheela. Yeah, knitting podcasts were one of the better side effects of this whole last year.
I really enjoy that you guys get down to business pretty quick. You have a nice conversational natter too that makes it easy to listen. Heard about NATR from the Grocery Girls, and am binge watching from the beginning. Am currently up to #13 and excited about some new patterns that you presented. Thanks!
Aww thanks Denise! We’re glad you are enjoying it as much as we do making them 🥰
Really great episode. I can't wait to see your new Stephen West shawl. You have such a great eye for color! Ray - your socks are amazing!
Thank you Syls :)
Great show! Have a pleasant Sunday! 🙂
Thank you! You too!
Love the dirty ballerina colourway - it's my favourite combo and it came out so beautiful.
Thank you Roxi, I am going to try and repeat the color.
@@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast yay!
I love you guys so much you make my Sunday morning a laugh a minute a breath of fresh air, it is a who’s on first belly laugh every time with fabulous knitting thrown in perfect lol xxx.
Thank you so much!!
Knit_ink told us to check out your podcasts. Glad they did. I'm watching back episodes now and in episode 3 you said you started knitting after reading Deborah Geary books. Those books brought me back to knitting after being away many years and I can't understand now why I ever stopped. I think it's great that the books were your inspiration. Love your podcasts!
Hi Janis - Thank you so much for checking out our channel. OMG, I never hear from people that have ready those books, so happy to hear from another fan of them.
Seriously love your channel. You guys make me chuckle every time and inspire me to knit so many different things. Just catching this as I just married my wife on Sunday (day after your post). LOVE
Omg congrats 🎈🍾🎊🎉 Thats amazing 🥰🥰 Cheers to a lifetime of happiness ❤️❤️
@@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast thank you. We are very happy. We had a few obstacles, but our souls reunited and we couldn't be happier. Co grata on 8k and the etsy. Keep the episodes coming. I ❤ them.
guys, I came over to check you out as the grocery girls were talking about you and I'm hooked!!!! you're great together and I absolutely loved watching you. so I'm here to stay. greeting from UK 🇬🇧 :)
Hi Alina - Thank you so much for checking out the channel, we really appreciate it.
Yes with the stitch marker tip on the dotted rays! I got like one repeat in and I was like “I’m never going to see where my turns are LOL”. Stitch markers have been saving me. I have 1 more wedge until I’m done with the small version but I’m for sure going to do one more for that in between size now! Love you guys!
Thanks Nicole!! I agree, just that extra repeat wedge made such a difference 🥰
Hi I just found your channel and I enjoyed it. I love the dotted rays shawl in Magpie, it has inspired me to knit myself one. Thank you
Awesome Allison!! We’d love to see your progress 🥰🥰
I loved everything you showed but oh wow those first socks! They look just like a map out of Tolkien’s Middle Earth! Definitely socks made for adventures! Thanks guys, I love your vids xx
Omg you’re totally right!! That’s awesome 🥰🥰
I get so excited when I see you have a new show up! I can't wait to get up early tomorrow to watch!! ❤️❤️❤️ Love you guys!
