I love watching your podcast and never find it too long. For us knitters with mobility challenges and unable to attend a regular knit night, your podcast allows us to feel we are part of the knitting community. Thank you Jodi and Tracy!
This is so true. Thank you for pointing this out, and for choosing to spend time with us!😀We are so happy to have you here!
I agree with Deborah! I don't have knitty friends so i can sit and knit while you ladies are on and I enjoy it so much
I agree! It’s never too long for me. I just sit, knit, and listen.
Love your birthday sweater. What is the name of the pattern?
Your podcast is never toooo long! You just made grooming my dog bearable!!!
Without fail, every time I watch you I open Google Maps and do a little road trip across Canada and this time Michigan. Last night I was searching Alaska and cannot tell you why, but it looks way too cold for my liking. One day I might make it outside Australia. You two are so much fun to watch xx
What! Loved EVERY minute. Thank you for the extra long episode!!
Jodi! I love your hat patterns! They are always amazing!
You guys are awesome. I did break it up and enjoyed every minute of this episode. Your sweaters look great. See you soon
Michiganders. LOL. (From a Michigander. I wish I could have come up to see you guys while you were there. I'm down in southwest Michigan. We live in a gorgeous state!)
Will the Cedar sweater be available for sale, do you know? I love it!
Love, LOVE, LOVE.... all the yarn porn. 😊. I would like a 4 hour episode next time, please. 😉😘
Another trick I learned for remembering needle size for the swatch is tie specific number of knots in the tail.
Love you guys so much, but round-up? Poison, poison, poison, poison to you, poison to the bees, poison to the earth. Thank you for your podcast, still love you.
Thank you for talking about embracing the size you are now. At age 63 I finally told my dad and my youngest sister to quit body shaming me. I am extremely healthy - the only # that is high when I go for a physical is the number on the scale and it isn’t all that high. So, if that is all they value about me, then they can stuff it. I am so tired of stressing about my weight. I walk, hike, sail, play with grandsons, garden, knit, quilt and I, too, love Dove Dark chocolate!
Too long is like saying too much chocolate. No such thing. Love you guys!
I vote for all episodes being at least 2 1/2 hours. Great show! Have a wonderful rest of your summer.
Just checked Ravelry they have the magnolia sweater in 3XL now which is 51 inches!
thanks!!! glad to see the new sizes 😀👍🏻
So funny she talked about that and I was going through my favorites on Ravelry and I had the magnolia already in there! Beautiful pattern, can't wait to knit it!
We'll keep you as honorary "MichiGANDERS" 😂😃
❤️❤️❤️ thank you!😊
Amanda Cole I second that!
And referred to as the land of 10,000 lakes 😉
Yep, we are called Michiganders. But, I think 10,000 lakes is Minnesota (where I currently live).
I LOVE your podcast. The longer the better. Never get sick of you. Love seeing all the beautiful yarn and stuff. I get ideas of new to me yarn dyers and other accessories. Enjoy the rest of your summer.
Growing up as one myself, the term is Michigander 😁 Glad you had fun!!!
Jodi have you ever considered taking Pictures of your knit hats ,and making them into Bag fabric.? That would be fun !!!
Loved every moment of it, ladies. Thanks for spending time with me and no, it wasn’t too long for me. It was fabulous as always. 🥰
Please DO do the next show in your mom's (pots) garden. As a gardener I would love to see it.
For your Q & A - what do you know now that you wish you knew when you first started knitting?
Oooooh, that's a great question! I'm a new knitter, so I would LOVE to hear the answer!!!
HI, love you guys and your podcasts can never be too long. I love hanging out with you, with my knitting and chocolate. Enjoy the rest of your summer xx
thank you so much!! 🍫
Dont ever worry about the clock! The longer your podcast, the better!!!!!💓💓💓
"Don't adjust your screen, it's THAT F*CKING AWESOME" - JODI, I love you so much!
I was checking everyday for a new video. I’m so happy you’re back 😀
we are super happy to be back...thank you!!😄💚
Wow, that was a totally awesome podcast! It was like watching a favorite movie with people I love! Have a great time at the beach, Traci!
Poop on those who complain about the time of the podcast! No one makes them watch it all. I say talk on ladies😀
I just found you guys, and I am hooked on your videos. I love watching and learning from you. But, I have a question. Why are you called, the grocery girls? Keep up the good work. , Love love love you guys!
HEELLLLOOOOO!! Welcome!
We are the worst at remembering to introduce ourselves. Sorry!!
Our parents have had a grocery store here in Alberta for over 50 years. We both work there. 😀
I SO agree that size is so irrelevant and what one wears is totally a personal style choice that should not be determined by size . I hope next that we decide age is irrelevant as well. This world is so geared around being and looking young. What happened to valuing experience; we are people too (not just a mom or a bag of bones).
You two are awesome! Don't listen to negative people. Nobody is making anybody sit down and watch anything in its entirety. They can either watch it little at a time or not watching it all but I have enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you very much.
Welcome back! And belated Happy Birthday to each of you! Your sweaters are ridiculously amazing! And all those mini-skeins...I can’t even. I need more yarn spending money...🧶🧶🧶
haha!! don't we all!! 😅
"Old romaine ... crack me up! I laughed until my side hurt! Love ya gals! :-)
Don’t worry about the podcast being too long! I love it because I listen to half one night and the other half another night. You girls always bring a smile to my face and make me laugh😊 Thanks for taking the time to spend with us all.
Just so happens that I’m recouping from knee surgery so your podcast was the perfect medicine! Loved it, especially the Joji birthday surprises! You make me smile every podcast...thank you! 😘
Feel better soon! They do brighten any day, don't they?
Fabulous podcast! Don’t worry about length of the podcasts. If I have to I pause it and do what I need to. I enjoy both of you!!!
Love your podcast, makes me feel happy ! I do not mind that it is "long" because I can just take some time to knit ;) If I do not have enough time to watch it entirely, I just split it in two or three parts while eating or whatever. Have a very nice day !
Your never to long! I really want to knit the sweater Jodi is wearing.
thank you for explaining how you'll redo your neckline on your sweater , it's encouraging to see we can always modify or make changes !
J O J I - Hurry, I need that sweater!!! LOVELY...and I'm going to do it in Navy too. I love you guys, you are adorbs! STILL after all these years... ok. 2 years?
I have been eagerly waiting for you to return! It was great to watch your porch podcast from MI; but this is the real thing 😍. What fabulous surprises you each planned for one another’s birthdays 🎉. And managing to keep your secrets, especially after I just watched Joji explaining texting simultaneously with you and not being the one to ruin the fun! You did have much to talk about and show and again have me anxious to check the show notes and pretend I can do all the new projects ..... my eyes are bigger than my budget, my knitting speed, and my ability to focus on only one project at a time .....oooo shiney, ooooo new pattern oooooo beautiful yarn 🧶 oooo socks ooo sweater oooooo shawl .... oooo bags oooo pins oooo overload 🤯. Not too long 🤩. So delightful and happy to watch, especially after the horrible week in the United States, the shootings, the ICE arrests, the children again separated from their families, and the horrible governance by the current president and Senate (or is it lack of governance? 😢.). I enjoyed every minute of this podcast 💛💛💛
I'd watch you two for ten hours!!! Love it as always - thank you... BYW - wait until your 65!
Great podcast. I just love watching you two.
People are offended by how long it is! 😂😂 That's ridiculous! I love how long it is, I can sit down with a cuppa and a good knit, I don't always watch it all in one sitting and I love that because I really look forward to watching the rest 😁 so much inspiration on this episode I just need to find more time!
Love the long podcast. You are such enablers - I have ordered the yarn for Joji’s sweater! Txs!!!
Great fun to have you both back & your sweaters are fantastic.
Love these long videos. 💕 Would you be able to link the shops you mention in the drop down box? Does anyone have any recommendations for shawl patterns for a beginner? Just started knitting a week ago, and I’m in love.
My first shawl was by Paula Eamonns-feasley. It was called the piper, it’s very pretty.
Never too long!!!! Just keep talking, laughing and having fun. It gives me more time to sit and knit.
Love the podcast. It could be 8 hours long and still not enough for me! Jodi, thank you so much for talking about how tags start showing up. I thought it was just me! Getting older sucks, but knitting (and crocheting) keeps me sane! Love to you both. ❤
I love you two and it’s never long enough. I was so excited when I saw the podcast was over two hours ❤️
Personally I loved the long episodes as I get more done and enjoy the company of you two 😍
LOL Jodi - "hard pass". Good time with you both. I listened and watched to the end, and it was well worth it. If an episode is long, all that matters is the content. Worth it.
You girls are so interesting and entertaining!
Love the yarn and IDEAS! Stories are special.
Birthdays are important times to say you are special.
Thanks
thank you, Linda. 😊
Such an awesome episode ladies. Missed you a lot and I got the feeling I really was there with you. It can never be too long for sure. Adore that Cedar Sweater, can’t wait for the pattern to come out. Love how much you girls love each other, just like my sis and me :) viv
such a lucky thing to have the best sister, right?! 💗
Oh goodness! Old romaine! That’s hysterical !😂
I actually prefer longer episodes. Gives me plenty of time to knit!
Loved all 2 hrs and 38 minutes!
I am so distracted watching this podcast because BOTH of ya'll's sweaters are GORGEOUS. Also, those baskets on the fence? Too cute!
🤣Gotta get me some “Old Romaine “! 🤣. Watched all in one go, and really enjoyed your party in the mailbox!!! Seeing ALL that yarn never gets old (unless it’s lettuce😉). See ya next time!🤗🧶
🙈🤣 seriously....what is our problem???
Hahahahaha-FOs to Schitt’s Creek to Party in the Mailbox to Skin Tags!!! Thanks for the fun episode!!!
WOW you are back We all missed you ... Kept checking every day for your return... Happy Birthday to the both of you .... Love that you are back you both were missed
thanks so much Debbie 😀
Your podcast is not too long! It was just right for my lunch time knitting during the week. :) I love how you both make me laugh. In fact, I laughed so hard over the "Old Romaine" comment that everyone in the lunch room turned and looked at me. You should have a colorway of Grocery Girl yarn with names such as "Old Romaine," "Party in my Mailbox," "Jodi," "Tracie," "The V Word," and "Skin Tag"
Both of you ladies are awesome. I hope that I get to meet you one day.
Met you two in Michigan!!! It was a great weekend there. Listening to your video about the weekend in Cedar MI brought back many happy memories :-). Knitting on the beach was wonderful. Weather was absolutely perfect that weekend too!
just great memories!!😄
I just looked up the Magnolia Sweater pattern, and it has 8 sizes!
Also long and short sleeve versions
Check out the pattern again. You will be surprised with the sizing changes.
Love, love, love, love listening and watching your podcast. Thank you for sharing everything. You bring smile on my day ! No, it's not too long :-)
I for one am all about the long podcasts. Cheers!
Loved every single minute. Thank you so much for your time in putting this together. Have a great two week vacation.
I love your flower baskets on the wall. What about doing a gardening podcast?
I love Shitz Creek!!!! I can picture David Rose in that beautiful sweater.
Yesss do a hat knit along👍👍 god it’s good to have you back missed you😘😘 you’ve given me my knit inspiration back👍 Come to Yorkshire England for a weekend knit ,!!!! Xxxxxx🥰😘😘
Jodie, your sweater looks absolutely fabulous on you. So lovely. And your gold sweater, Tracie, is lovely. Love the pretty flower baskets!
LOVE the long episodes! The longer the better! Hehehehe!
Love your Canadian podcast! Thank you from Nova Scotia! 🇨🇦
Hi from Tasmania loving your fence planters what are the plants please. Coming to the end of Winter hear hoping for spring.
Greeting from Adelaide
So enjoyed your video! Love your Galiano socks and am on my second pair! Love all the sweaters, dreamy yarns, patterns, it just goes on and on! Love it all, you guys are fantastic!,, 💕
Thank you for the long podcast- especially when you both are taking trips between your videos. It’s hard to wait😀
I love how long you guys talk the more knitting I get done. Keep it up ❤️ you guys!
I love that you ladies can surprise each other with such wonderful things. And to have beautiful friends that can help with the surprises! Thank you so much for sharing.
Love your podcast, it is like catching up with your besties the time flies and you wish it would never end, Love you girls I hope you have an amazing time with your Families !
I could sit, knit and watch your podcast all day. You are both such a hoot and you keep it real. Thank you for the inspiration and keeping me in the loop. Love, love, love you!
104 degrees F here in Tx yesterday!
Several months ago Amy Beth on The Fat Squirrel Speaks podcast addressed knitting for the size you are--it's called A Path Towards Knitworthy. Definitely a must watch! I am a fan of designs by Heidi May of The Velvet Acorn Designs because not only does she publish a crochet pattern that mirrors every knit creation, her sizes range from 1/2 years up to 4XL. If I can only get my gauge right, I'll soon be wearing her Keldyn Cardigan to the office. :)
Hi ladies! I love the long episodes! I always watch you in "chunks " of about 30 minutes while I'm walking on the treadmill or using the exercise bike! Makes that chore go so much faster, lol! Have to be careful though, I almost fell off the bike during that "old romaine" sequence🤣🤣🤣. Enjoy your holidays Tracie and have fun spending time with your girls Jodi.
Tracie, love the colors you've picked for your Soldotna. Do you ever watch the Wee Sew and Sew from Scotland? She knit one recently in shades of blue that is knock-you-dead gorgeous! Skin tags...I've got 'em. But, my favorite thing about aging is the random hair. Don't ask, I won't tell. LOL!! Have fun on vacation. Patty
Love spending time with you through your podcasts. Went to Stephen and Penelope today during our short stay in Amsterdam. Got his yarn and also my first LabienAime (sp) DK.
Love Schitt's Creek and certainly the character of David. Have seen many movies with dad and the ensemble cast. We live in Maryland in the US.
Every time Jodi talks about perimeopause symptoms I’m like YES!!!!!!! Me tooooo!!!!! Love your long videos.
I love the podcast as well as the length of the podcast. As a matter of fact I think you should make it longer. (longer is better) Tracy! DO NOT use RoundUP for your weed control. My husband had stage 4 non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma as a result of using Roundup. Throw it away!!! Jodi, you are the absolute best sister in the whole wide world!! The birthday surprise for Tracy was so sweet.
YOUR VOOLENVINE IS STELLAR BANSHEE AND I AM DROOLING!!! (Sorry I yelled at you, it's my favorite and I think she stopped dyeing it)
I literally cast on Soldotna and turned you guys on at the same time! I highly recommend knitting this. It's sooooo addictive, I cannot put it down. Great to have you back. And YES MICHIGAN! I arrived in Northern MI the same weekend as you two, but sadly couldn't make it to Cedar. Next time. :)
GG’s! I moved to Florida a year ago from Seattle (miss home something fierce!) and found this awesome yarn shop near me. Called Four Purls. Shout out to them. Their daughter Emma who started dying yarn as a teenager (may still be a teenager). She does GORGEOUS color combinations, beautiful soft bases. She is so talented. They have a website. Check them out: www.fourpurls.com
So good to see you back! Happy belated birthdays! May I ask a question? I want to make socks (will try your new “on the porch “ pattern first). I tried knitting socks years ago but HATED knitting with dpns.
I would like to learn magic loop but I’m sure the cable makes a big difference. Since you knit a lot of socks, which needle brand do you prefer, and what cable length to knit one at a time? Thank you! 😍
I totally enjoy the length of your show.... I see it in sections, so I end up seeing you everyday. That way it’s not so lonely between episodes.
Because I’m always stopping the podcast, and looking up things from the show notes, I make your podcast easily 4 hours long...I learn so much that way!
Thanks,
And don’t change....stay you!
I have knit for a long time,but didn't discover your podcast till l broke my leg. Off work with lots of time I been binge watching your videos. Thanks for all your wonderful work and time you have dedicated. I have been inspired and happy with the works you have created and reviewed. Knitting,crochet, tatting from Florida thank you ,Julia
Kids in the US go back different times in different regions. Kids in the South traditionally got out of school earlier to help with the harvest. In New England, we usually go back the week before or after Labor Day (September), but Kids in FL or GA have been going back in the last couple weeks.
Ladies, thank you so much for the epic episode! I did watch it in segments -- it was chock full of yarny goodness that I want to follow up on. I love your sweaters and the new hat pattern. I agree with you about size inclusivity. Amy Beth, of Fat Squirrel Speaks, has an excellent bonus episode called A Path Towards Knitworthy, where she speaks candidly and sensitively about plus sized knitter not feeling that they deserve to knit beautiful sweaters for themselves. I highly recommend it.
Hilarious in the word game with spalted. I thought you might need new eye prescriptions.... did I nail it or what! 😂 I did take it in chunks by the way. You were with me while I switched over my closet from summer to fall, knit socks on the plane, made dinner and weeded the garden. More of you is always a good thing! Never stop. Big hugs from Hamilton, Ontario. 🏭🤗🧶
Tracie Please don't use Round Up! Its carcinogenic and has been banned in many countries - unfortunately its still available here in Oz but its soo bad for you, your pets and the environment. But love love love your SSSS sweater and I can't wait for your new sock pattern as I love the shape of your socks - I've knitted two pairs only and I still get confused about which side to do decreases using Magic Loop so I'm hoping your pattern will clear that up xxx
Tracie said "I'm sure you guys are sick of us"...because of your epic podcast. I never get sick of you!!! I feel so happy knitting and watching your podcasts - the longer the better.
This Michigander was so sad that I couldn’t be at Wool and Honey for your visit. I’m heading there in a few weeks and am excited to see the shop. Thanks for a wonderful podcast with lots of beautiful yarn, patterns, and bags! Joji’s sweater pattern will be on my radar. I loved that you showed the Plystre backpack. That has been on my list of treats for myself and I’ll definitely treat myself soon.
Yes, watched it in dribs and drabs and that's fine. I had to stop to turn a heel anyway. Let's see if I can remember what I was thinking about through this...about the inclusivity and designers being reluctant to make larger sizes; we realize it's a little difficult to make larger patterns. We follow the advice of our favourite podcasters who may direct us towards more inclusive patterns and we are willing to pay for the extra effort it entails...about Maxim Cyr; great patterns and I sent a link to my daughter who is looking for a great pattern for her sweetie...and I love the promotion to Canadian designers, LYSs, and dyers that you do! Keep it up!
