Hi! I just wanted to let you know how much I love your podcast! Several of my favorites have recently gone on hiatus or are posting less frequently, so I went on a hunt for new podcasts over the Christmas holidays. When I landed on yours, I knew I had met two new best friends. I love your humor especially since it is apparent you hang out with teenagers regularly! Yall just make me smile while I knit! Thanks!
Love, love, love you guys! Another wonderful episode with great chat and awesome knits. I do have to say, I'm going broke with all the amazing patterns y'all tend to put up! Hugs from Texas!!
I throughly enjoy sitting and watching you ladies! No matter what is happening in my day I know I will get to smile when you are here! Destash on the website would work but you do whatever’s easiest for you!
I wish I could tell you what the extra little skein is! They’re mostly extras that accidentally made it into the dyepot because counting is hard, or colors that didn’t turn out quite right (speckles/splotches), etc. We also have some leftover mini skeins in the studio right now that have been there for ages that we’re going through and dyeing random colors for freebies because we’re moving the studio this year and I don’t want to have to pack and unpack them!
Well it's beautiful! Moving is such a stressful thing and if you can find a way to pack and move less do it! It's exciting you're moving to a new studio though. Will it be an upgrade?
I love the Tif Neilan shawl idea for your yarn! I don’t know if I would purchase detash yarn (I have my own to knit up) but I’ve seen other people post it on IG and using a linktree to their Etsy shop. I’ve also seen people post it in their stash on Ravelry. Do what works for you. Are you going to the KnitInn guild event coming up the first weekend in Feb? They might also have some ideas.
I saw your live podcast and decided I wanted to join in the mkal. I had to order yarn because despite a ridiculous stash I didn’t have anything that would work oh well I didn’t give myself anything for Christmas so I’m making up for it. My yarn arrived in a week and I started no swatch. Of course I decided I would just start knitting and use that as the swatch well I had to start over two times, I am a loose knitter but surprisingly had to go up two needle sizes to get gauge so I’m on my way and hope to be able to show you something soon. Love you❤❤❤
Many podcasters are no longer using Instagram for prizes. They are having trouble seeing everyone's projects. I love the mystery yoke! I didn't join because I'm fearful that I won't like the final project.
We are going to have to move away from it which is disappointing. We understand that mentality! We are both wary of mystery knits but have never tried one like this. It has been fun! 💚💜
Hey Gals-just a note about IG, they’ve changed their policy regarding hashtags. I don’t know if this is part of the problem you’re experiencing but IG now only shows the top posts of any hashtag you follow. Definitely an issue if you’re trying to run a contest as only people with a larger engagement on IG will show up. 🤦♀️
Glad I could be of assistance! I did some light research but couldn’t come up with a work around on IG. Maybe you could find something that I missed? 🤔 Maybe you could do an end of KAL post and participants could comment with their FO? Or people could email you with their FOs and you could add them to the Ravelry thread? Although that would be a lot of work for y’all. 🤷♀️ Love y’all! Keep up the great work! Wish I didn’t live on the other side of the country-I think Michelle and I may have been separated at birth 🤣

We are struggling as well! There are so many amazing patterns out there! 💚💜

We are so glad we can help brighten your days! 💚💜 We are seeing most people agree that we should not use Instagram.

You had me at whippies. Laughed so hard.
It might become our new word for them! 💜💚
Don’t forget southern comforts fiber market in August in Charlotte!
Oh how could we forget!

Hi Jennifer! We will not be in attendance. We hope you have a wonderful time! 💚💜
I'm commenting late, but I would really love it if you'd do a Knitting Genius tutorial!!

We hate when this happens. Honestly, who wants an excuse to buy yarn for themselves? 🤣 Glad you've joined us.
Great podcast. As usual I want to knit all the things. I have only purchased destash items through Ravelry, but would prefer on Etsy.
Thank you!
Esty for destash 😊

😡 well that's frustrating. Thank you for letting us know. We will have to find other ways to host these.

Hello! I wonder what kind of knitting needles it is, what is the name of the knitting needles you knit with?
Could you be more specific? Generally Caytee knits with Chiaogoo or Lantern Moon needles. Michele prefers Karbonz and Lantern Moon.

Thank you for letting us know!
