Hello ladies great to see you again x
Adding the markers at gauge - Brilliant!🎉🎉😊
Such a good idea about using stitch markers to count gauge. I feel myself going crosseyed trying to count all the V's. Lovely to see you both in my UA-cam alerts this afternoon x
I agree. My eyes go cross-eyed trying to count stitches on any type of yarn. Thanks Kim.
Great news for your daughter Jonna x
It's so good to see you both! Jonna, I love your Celeste sweater-you have such great color sense. It is stunning. Kim, your Champagne cardigan is so pretty, and the little bit of sparkle is perfection. And the top that was a gift-so special. I love the idea about the swatches.
Thank you, Julie!
Love your sweaters: looking forward to spending 2024 with you!
Hello Girls
Happy New year 🥳 I absolutely love joining you for fun and chat you always bring joy to my day. The knitting you both do is exceptional, you are very talented Ladies. I hope you both have lots of fun knitting together and look forward to your next video. Take care 👵 xx
Kim, that idea to stitch markers on your swatch around the target stitches -- genius!! I'm absolutely going to do that from now on. Thanks for showing the Ellen cardigan. The pockets alone made it leap into my queue.
Pleased you are all sorted and feeling better x
Love the episode! I always enjoy seeing your projects. The PK KAL was so much fun, thanks for hosting it. I think her patterns are so well written and the construction is brilliant. I've made 5 PK patterns and have learned something for each one.
Another fantastic episode, it was so lovely to see your finished KAL projects in motion! I've made a Wednesday Sweater for myself as part of the KAL and been wearing it alllll the time, to the point where my friends were surprised when I didn't show up in it yesterday, haha. Thank you for giving me the motivation to finish that sweter before the start of 2024!
So nice to see you ladies again!!❤🎉
Fabulous as always. Love the colours in your hair Kim and the colours in Jonna’s sweater 💕
I’m so glad to see you two and knit while you chat ❤❤❤❤
Hi! Thanks for the video, you kept me company on this …. Somewhat …. Rainy - snowy Saturday morning. I too enjoy fruity knitting and watch appreciate them❤. Happy new year and happy knitting. Karen from Gaithersburg
Great to see you two. I’ve been enjoying Nora’s podcast, too. I didn’t realize she was a singer. Thanks for that tidbit.
Happy new year! I hope you both got much needed rest and sweet time with family and dear ones.
Thanks for sharing details on the Oslo sweater vs the Stockholm sweater. I’ve also had a hard time deciding. Now thanks to your description it will be the Oslo. Not having to commit to a size immediately-yes please!
I do enjoy your podcasts, but am wondering why you often say that hand knits look like "store bought" as if that is something to strive for?? To be honest, I don't want handknits to look "store bought", that is why I hand knit, so they wont look "store bought". When people say that I view it as rather a bit of an insult. Hand knits are much better than "store bought".
Thank you for your comment. We use "store bought" as a compliment meaning that it doesn't look uneven, messy, unfinished, etc. Store bought to us means that it is knit with obvious skin and care, even tension, few mistakes, beautiful finishings, blocked. ❤️ K&J
Oh gosh, half way through your video I fell asleep 😂 while I was knitting aswell. Your voices are so soothing and relaxing. Had to re-watch it one more time 😆 thank you for all inspirations, charged me for a new year full of new projects ❤ and thank you for my good nap 😅😍 love you ♡
So funny!!
I knit together with you as I watched. Loved to watch and felt the company as I have been sick for over a week. So happy to watch a new episode. Your projects are stunning as always ❤
Oh no! So sorry to hear that you've been sick. We hope the kids are well. Feel better soon!
I totally agree with you about using the row counter for sleeves. It makes it sooo easy. Moving the melody clip to mark the 10's is the hardest part.
I must say……your beautiful friendship made me tear up!
I am so happy to be a fan of all your work!
Happy Healthy New Year Jonna & Kim 🎶🎶🎶🎶☺️🎶🎶🎶
Thank you and Happy New Year!!
You are both lovely ladies, and I always learn something when I watch you! Looking forward to your podcasts in '24.
The yarn over for increases in colorwork is genius! I've been having so much trouble with that and completely avoiding colorwork yokes because I can "never do it right." You might have just changed the entire trajectory of my 2024 knitting plans! 🤩
Woo hoo!!! Such a simple fix for a really messy problem! Wish I had come across it sooner. Can't wait to hear about your plans!
Happy New Year ladies. Love your projects 😘
I had to smile when Kim talked about how hard it is for her to follow a video if the person holds the yarn English style. I am left handed and knit mirrored continental style (yarn tensioned in right hand, stitches move from right hand needle to left hand needle). I have spent so much time searching for lefthanded knit and crochet tutorials 😧
Wow! That is very interesting!
Loved listening to your discussions of your Petite Knits projects…💗. The sound wasn’t bad but I know you want it to be perfect…I’m sure you’ll get it right. So looking forward to VKL… 😆. Wish you both many blessings for 2024…🤗🧶💗
Beautiful knits as usual. I want to make them all!
Your coloured top is beautiful too Kim
Happy New Year ladies. Lovely to see you both on the podcast. Thanks for detailing your makes. It really helps to know the sizing of your finished objects that you are wearing. Love both your Petite Knit garments. I've wanted to try Snefnug for awhile & might have to purchase some now 😊. Thanks for running the KAL. I've really enjoyed making the Sophie Shawl. It's finished but not blocked or photographed yet. The festive season ran away with me. Sometimes I wish I worked part-time but working full time allows me to purchase lovely yarn so I'm not complaining. Take care of yourselves & Kim I'm having a bet with myself about how many different hair colours you have in 2024. Love the way your hair colour coordinates with the yarn store 😊. Thanks again for keeping me company whilst I make dinner. X
Lol!! Shhhhh, I won't tell Kim about the bet!!
So good to see you two! The KAL was wonderful, as was PetiteKnit pattern. Jonna your Celeste is priceless! Love the color combo and you are right - the fit looks very perfect. Kim, your cardigan is an inspiration. Thanks for the reinforcement (via Thread in Ravelry) that the double-knitting band would work out. It is an ingenious way to do a button band. I bought a skein of bulky yarn to practice on larger needles which helped me understand the technique. After that practice (also for buttonhole) I was ready to tackle the band on my Jenny Jacket. Thanks for a great episode - good to hear about your lives and to see you back. Cheers!
Your Jenny Jacket is stunning!!
Lovely to see you both v cold here in Edinburgh
Thanks for this! I’m still working on my PetiteKnit Monday sweater. Thought I could make the KAL deadline but I didn’t. Even so I then thought I’d be done by Friday (1/5) but tonight, just as I got to the ribbing on the cuff of the second sleeve, I went to change to the smaller needle and realized I’d knit the second sleeve with the smaller needle. 😢. Frogged it back to the underarm and I’m at it again. Your podcast was just the inspiration I needed to keep at it. Thank you!!
Oh gosh, we've both made that mistake!! Hang in there. Thanks for participating!
I love the button band on the champagne cardigan. It was slow, but the end result was so worth it. Love how the button holes are done
Love the Champagne Cardi info as I plan to knit one. The things I never swatch for are shawls, cowls, and baby knits! Love your tenacity Kim! I did have a non knitter say to me that the baby sweater I was knitting would never fit a baby because it was too small. Baby S wore it at 6 month! lol!
the movie with the red hat is The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, a wonderful Wes Anderson film.
Kim, for your swatches... I am eclectic and think using cool different drawer pulls screwed into the wall to hang your swatches would be cool 😊
That cobalt is gorgeous Jonna. It is similar to the Peer Gynt blue I knit my Storm sweater in and I absolutely love it.and your Celeste sweater is also wonderful
I'll have to look! Thank you. I found that KFO has some lovely blues, too.
I started the So-hie scarf last night in some red yarn. So fun! ❤❤❤
Best picture ever…..the smiles ending podcast 😉
Great to see your video. So relaxed. 🇬🇧
Omg, Jonna! I never thought I’d be one of those people that has a portrait of their dog in their house either, and now I have five! 😂😂😂
Kim, re: your Champagne cardigan…I can fully relate to loving a garment so much and wearing it like a uniform. LOL! My BF is always shocked to see me wearing the same thing again and again.…I can’t help myself! 😁👯
Also, I’ve gotta get that twice sheered sheep row counter! That is happening soon and I will be sure to use your affiliate link! ❤🎉 Great episode!
You both knit the most beautiful sweaters. (must be the swatches!!) Thanks for the shoutout! Hope to see you soon. -Kate
🤣
Cobalt is a stock colour for Julie Asselin! It’s gorgeous.
Kim, I love your enthusiasm for your cardigan. Since I decided to opt for a double-knit button band on my April Cardigan, I haven't touched it! Stress? Avoidance behaviour? I don't know, but I've completely lost steam, even though the sweater is nearly done! But your enthusiasm might be just what I needed (or maybe I need a swift kick in the pants), because it's all I can think think about right now. Jonna, I really love how your Celeste turned out, and now you've got me looking at Snefnug colors. (P.S. I would have named the yarn "Jonna Blue"). Now I'm also interested in the slipover and those leather buttons... Besitos¡!
Just do it!! You're such a skilled knitter, I'm sure you will have no trouble at all. Thank you!
Beautiful cardigan Kim love the colour too x
At first I thought : oh, another Lunenburg 😅
Love from Lisbon ❤❤❤❤!!!!
I received the row counter from Twice Sheared Sheep in a 12 Days of December box my knitting group did. I would love to see how it really works. Could you show it in use in a future episode? Thanks for another great episode. Happy 2024!
Great idea! In the meantime, I do believe TSS has a video.

Suggestion for displaying art/swatches: Amazon, mockingbird brand, kids art wall hanging wire organizer with clips.
I was about to ask where your blouse was from, Kim! It’s so beautiful! I love the cobalt blue, Jonna! Definitely should have been called Jonna Blue!! Thank you for always being so warm and welcoming 🥰 making me blush again! I definitely shouted “That’s Kim!” at the TV when I saw you in Jess’s special too! 😂 I’m grateful to have met you both. I hope you get over your way again soon!!! 💛💛💛 thank you!
We ❤️ you!
Beautiful jumper Jonna love youth colour choice xx
I desperately wanting to knit that PetiteKnit Celeste sweater in the snefnug now! I want to try these fuzzy yarns anyway. Your sweater is gorgeous, Jonna! I used your affiliate button this morning to be naughty -- I ordered the surprise box thingie from Twice Sheared Sheep, along with a couple more row counters -- I'm addicted to the things now! Take care.
Thank you, Margaret! Yes, try the Snefnug! It's so light and cozy. Love that it is all natural fibers, too.
Hi from Germany, ich liebe euer Lachen ❤
Dankeschön! Höffentlich lachst du mit uns. 😘K&J
Loved this episode. I do have a question for Kim, at one time you had a few patterns and yarns together and viewers choose which sweaters you should make. Have you worked your way through the list? All the best.
Good question! I am working my way through the list. So far I have knit the following in order: Here Comes the Sun, DECiSiON, The Weekender, and the Lunenburg Pullover. The next should be Soldotna, but I pulled Light out of the queue and just finished knitting that. ❤️ Kim
There is a pattern for
the hat that Bill Murray's character wore in The Life Aquatic, in Ravelry. See "Steve's Beanie".
Thank you for the tip! I found it and just finished knitting mine using the combination of two patterns. You'll hear about it in E24. 😘 Kim
I like the idea of using stitch markers to count gauge. Genius! I though the sound was a bit off today. Good discussion on Petite Knit patterns.
Oh, yes, it was. A work in progress to be sure. Thanks for your patience.
🌠Again a fun episode and soooo enabling….where can I buy some more time 😊
I forgot you were doing the Petite Knit KAL. I finished my third Cumulus blouse and four Anker Sweaters for my grandkids. Maybe next time... LOL.
Wowza!!! Amazing.
I also like the row counter. I have more than one since I have multiple projects going
Same!!
Hi Kim and Jonna. I did enjoy this episode again. Made great progress on my knitting. I did notice that since I am watching your episode on the tv with audio system, and it seems that you have switched the microphone sine the voice of Kim came over the right side and Jonna came over the left side. But it is a minor. 😂😂😂.
Oh goodness!! 🤪 We really need help, lol!
Jonna, I follow Jackie Rose’s video for the Italian/tubular cast on, soooo easy.😊. The cobalt yarn would be great for the Porcelain Sweater. 😮 I never heard any *sound* issues. It’s all good! ❤
Thank you for the suggestion! Clicking on Ravelry now.....🥰
You two are so beautiful. I love knitting "with" you. :)
Thank you, Tash. ❤️
Hello to you both!! I have never made a Petite knit sweater and I would love to knit the Champagne Cardi. Kim did you say that their sweaters run big? I believe that we are the same size. I do love how you both share the sizing and how you knit your projects. Thank you for what you do.
I think what Kim meant, is that there is usually a lot of positive ease built into the patterns, so be attentive to that.
@@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna thanks
Totally agree using wooden needles with color work. Metal needles way to slippery and harder on my hands
I don't "hate" color work so much anymore! 😂
We love the really long videos! Keep it up!
Do you watch the Norwegian knitter? She has knit several bear bonnets and many Petite Knits. So fun to see your projects. They give me inspiration to knit more. ❤❤❤
Thank you for the suggestion!
I love the idea of the eco baby yarn,but am wondering how you get the parents (both) to avoid machine wash and dry with the baby’s clothes? Any advice?
I just hope and pray and include the yarn label and washing instructions in the gift. ❤️ Kim
Hi! I wear my Ingrid slipover as often as I can. I love the brown one, need that pattern. lol I have a dumb question - do you get commission every time I use the link or only once? I've ordered twice with the link and didn't know if I should keep using it. I have a bunch of their items and love love love the row trackers. They are just sooo much easier. I think they need to make some for back and forth knitting. Knit purl reminders and 135... 246... I am older so I got confused a few times when doing the textures which side I was on and what row. I did figure it out but oh I wished I had had those abilities! Maybe it's just me though. Anyway, I love your channel, watch every one no matter how long. You just feel like besties sitting in my living room talking yarn, patterns etc. So happy you all had great Christmas's. Here's to many more podcasts this new year!
Thank you so much! Yes, if you can use the link each time, that would be wonderful!
In the Champagne Cardigan the pattern calls for two yarns held together one being mohair or mohair-like yarn. I don’t want to use the mohair. What yarn would be comparable? Worsted weight? DK weight? Many thanks.
Worsted weight will work well, held single. Keep us posted!
Can you tell me what the name is of the pattern with the beautiful yoke
It's the Celeste Sweater by PetiteKnit.
I must be missing something but I can’t find show notes with all the info, including the info about the samples behind them.
Hi! The pattern names are there but not the yarn info. If you'd like specific yarn info, please email us so we can get that for you. ktogwkimandjonna@gmail.com
Thank you!
Thanks! I was missing something - perhaps some grey cells!
I avoided tubular cast on and bind off for the longest time. Found it really fiddly until I came across Lorilee Beltman's method of using JMCO (Judy's Magic Cast On) as the set up rows. There's a bit of a jog when joining in the round (due to set up rows of double knitting) but the tail takes care of it. Tubular bind off (IMHO) is also so totally worth it! Enjoyed this episode despite not having a Petite Knit garment in my collection yet. Only Sophie scarves :)

What is the sweater Jonna is wearing?
It’s the Celeste Sweater by Petite Knit. Link in show notes or on Ravelry.
🍎🍎🎂👍👋
I really enjoy your podcast and beautiful knitting. I just wish you didn’t go in to quite so much detail explaining what you knit.
