Ladies you likely won't see this but I'm laying in bed recovering from a transplant I recieved today. I want to be knitting but I'm just too sleepy for it. You need to know how wonderful your podcasts are on isolating days like this! Instead of feeling along I feel like I'm at a coffee and with friends just chatting life and yarn. All my love!!
Melissa Coolen Melissa! We hope you recover quickly and get back to your knitting soon. Thank you for hanging out with us this evening...😘♥️
Speedy recovery! Xo
You are not alone, we are all here too. Wishing you a speedy recovery to be knitready.
Melissa Coolen hang in there my friend! Here’s hoping you’re up and knitting very soon!
You guys are amazing....soooo fun to watch. LOVE both of your sweaters in this episode.
Jodi, this may be my favorite sweater you have! The colors are stunning! I could steal it right off your back. JK- kind of.
trace what are the sleeve holders you had on the whip you showed
Waves of change is something i would like to figure out how to do in a lighter weight, because texas...
With corona being in our surrounding towns and have 3 small children including 2 under 2(youngest 2 months) you guys are my mommy break 💜💜💜 thank you. I feel like I window shop through you guys because I can’t afford yarn right now 😂
OMG Traci you have me laughing out loud ..."I know shopping math and knitting math, not school math"...me too! LOL
Jo-Ann B I am even worse when it goes to shopping maths but I got B in school maths :)
Jo-Ann B and that’s why I teach grade two.
I’m only 7 minutes in but I had to pause to say JODI - your hair is on point! Looks fantastic!! And your sweater is to die for.
One way to deal with ‘sleeve island’ and handling the bulk of the body is to knit a few inches of the body, finish sleeves first, then complete body .
Marilyn Cameron Hall great idea!!
Yay a new episode!!!! I recently binge watched all your episodes and have been chomping at the bit waiting for a new one! Glad to hear your vacations went well
Also I know you said it as a joke, but national multiple personality day is actually a real thing! It’s an awareness day for Dissociative Identity Disorder. It’s a trauma based disorder that happens from chronic childhood abuse and trauma and makes the brain unable to form one cohesive personality due to dissociative amnesiac barriers it puts up to protect from the abuse that happened.
OMG Jodi, your project bag is from the same company that makes my waterproof Kindle case for when I read in the bath!
Hahahaha, here I am joking about Ziploc bags and then you pull out the Speckled Red bags, which is what I'm currently knitting out of!
They wouldn't make very good waterproof Kindle covers, though
I missed you ladies! I just love the way you say each other's names when you see something amazing! I wish I could gush with my sister about knitting/yarn stuff but she just ain't into it.
J Ha me too!! I often wish my sisters love knitting like I do. I love how Jodi and Tracy champion each other- I have 3 sisters and that never happens!! Grocery girls are like a breath of fresh air for women everywhere!
Hi Tracy- I saw you at Stitches but wasn’t able to say hi because Aimee was helping me pick yarn for a sweater ( I think you got the same colors)! I even wore my Shepherdess socks to show you! Anyway, glad you had fun. I bought waaaaaay too much beautiful yarn!
I'm feeling really down today and just sat down to find something to watch to distract me and YAAAAAY!!!
Molly McAwesome- with you on every part of your comment. Three cheers for Grocery Girls!
Yes yes yessss to summer and cotton and linen and anything that combines fiber and warm weather. Its so sad here in the south during summer months watching everyone else still knitting with wool. It barely gets cool enough here for wool.... well not at age 49 anyway 😂😂😂
Thanks for letting me hang out with you girls today. I’ve been binge watching for a few months. So much fun!!!
Okay I love you guys for your kindness... but GiGi is a pain in the ass!?#notafraidtotellthetruth
I had to watch this in pieces for such a neat reason... you kept mentioning awesome people and I had to go find them on Instagram.
So fun to hear you talk about stitches west. I live in the San Francisco Bay area and it was my first stitches. Loved It!!. Black Squirrel in Berkeley is my local yarn shop and they did the kits for Denise Bayron’s wave of change. I used to live in Santa Cruz, before I was a knitter, and now I need to hippity hop down there to have a look at that pretty, pretty base. Always appreciate you guys taking the time to push out these episodes. You keep me company while I knit late at night. 💕🧶🧶🧶🧶
Dye Works yarn is sold at Black Squirrel. She doesn’t have a shop in SC but does sell in one of them. The yarn is gorgeous
Ha ha ha... Bink!!!! "So I am drinking an extra large...." Oh my gosh I so needed your uplifting and fun spirits today!
Missed you girls! Glad you’re back
❤️
Thanks for the cute Q+A ♥️ and wow, here in Sacramento we're probably post-peak spring, I'm watching this as I spin in a blossoming garden. I Definitely want to hear the update on that final sweater count...
Just bought Cozy Classic Cardigan!! I love just a simple classic pullover and this one looks perfect. Thanks for the great recommendation.
You girls are wonderful and so are your knits! I love each and every episode 😍
If you come to Hue Loco in Loveland, you have to also come to My Sister Knits in Fort Collins! Make sure it’s a Wednesday so you can come to Pints And Purls, too!!! Yay!
Jodi, you're sock pattern looks like skyscraper windows.
I don't know if y'all heard about the massive tornado that happened in central Tennessee this week, but if you're looking for shawl and wrap patterns I suggest checking out Jo Strong's Nashville collection -- for the month of March 100% of the proceeds are going to disaster response. I purchased her "Meet Me at the Ryman" shawl today and it's working up beautifully so far and it's very well written!
I count my rows and mark with stitch marker. I know the number of rows needed. I do have one of those rulers, but I do not use it. Each to their own hay?
Hello Jodi and Traci I'll never forget your hugs and how sweet you were to me last year in Cedar Michigan. I look at my pictures from time to time. My garment The Tenga was knitted using silk yarn instead of wool. I LOVE YOU BOTH SO MUCH.BE BLESS. Cassandra 💙😌
Cassandra Butler hello again Cassandra! 🤗 Wasn’t that a great time in Michigan? I remember you and your beautiful Tegna 💗💗💗
I love both of your sweaters. I really like the colors of Jodie's sweater and it looks so awesome on her. Tracie your sweater is great especially the lace work.
Big quetion the minis you added where they 20 gram minis
Hiya, Ladies. The GG drought is over. WooHoo. Made my day. Two at a time sleeves helps me make my way off of sleeve island sooner.
Bwahaha, you girls are my favorite “bad rash”
Sweet and Tartan socks are absolutely beautiful Tracie!! Wonderful stripes Jodi!! So fun spending some time with you! See you in Montreal!!
I attended Stitches Midwest in Shumburg Illinois and will be attending again this year. My daughter and granddaughter took me and I met so many nice people.
Ahhh! I don't have time to watch right now but have to say, damn, that rainbow sweater is 🌈🥰🥰🥰! Can't wait to watch this tomorrow as a great start to the weekend!
Always love your sweater parade 😍 I sooooo want the 52 Weeks of Socks book - hubby said NO but hoping I can change his mind.
I love Joji’s cabled coats. I knitted her Ranch Coat and I love 💓. It looks complicated but was, as with all Joji’s patterns, a dream to knit.
Thank you for the podcast, loved it as always x
So happy to see you back, gotta tell ya, I missed you two! Tracy, here's a tip for your Addie cords (BTW my favs).... Put the cords in a large fry pan, pour boiling water from a kettle, (not the tap), and use a fork to spread them out. Good as new! See you in Mtl 😘
Love, love, Love Your Q&A. I've wondered about so many of those questions 😳😜
Watch you two is like being with friends
Sitting here knitting my Turtle Dove listening to you talk about knitting the Turtle Dove :)
Synchronicity :)
I can’t wait to see you guys in Montreal! Jodi you are killing me! I want all the sweaters
The girls are back!!! Yeah!!!!!!!
Love the episode. Thanks for the reminder about crocheting around the neckline to correct one that’s too big. I’m almost finished with my sorrel sweater and the neckline is way too big. I’ll be crocheting it into a smaller fit in the morning.
I'm not familiar with this trick. Can anyone describe it a bit more? I looked for a video on how to crochet a neckline (start to finish) and I'm not sure if that is the same thing. Thank you in advance!!
Love ChiaoGoo needles! They are sharp enough, interchangeable, the cables are flexible but sturdy and the price is reasonable and they come in a set with a really roomy pouch complete with a zip pocket for the cords, stitch markers, etc.. I own a lot of Signature needles. They are very sharp. Not interchangeable. They are so over priced. I wonder if they aren’t forged in Mordor? Addi’s are wonderful but I agree their cords are wonky.
Athena Forged in Mordor!!😂😂😂😭😂
Elizabeth I was wondering if anyone would get that reference? lol
Lol forged in Mordor from blackest steel blended with Orc blood!
Your podcasts are so very uplifting to my spirit. I love to hear how you support all makers!
I feel I have to keep notes throughout the podcast because there are so many wonderful things. 😂 love your videos!
Addi makes different cords for the German market. I love those! Ciao goo needles cables freak me out, I have a sensory issue. Everyone needs to try needles for themselves.
I have missed you two! Hello from St Louis!
As always, you ladies are such a joy to watch. Jodi!!!!! I need ALL THE SWEATERS! I hope you enjoy you Black Purl Magic Stitch markers and all the things from Diane. She’s such an amazing woman and who gives other women opportunities to get out there! Can’t wait for the next episode💜
Your show is SOOOOO fun, ladies. Thank you. Jodi, am inspired by your sweaters! AND! I am REALLY looking forward to the plaid sock pattern. I've never knit socks before and want to start! Yeah! And just know Tracie, that in my own little heart of hearts, your pattern counts as the 53rd week of socks!
You 2 are wonderful !! Can’t knit to save my life but I love your podcasts !!! Your podcasts, the fat squirrel, and smell great guy are all knit and I love all of you ! Your sweaters are beautiful and the colors....... gorgeous !❤️❤️❤️
You gals are just HORRIBLE enablers!!! Now I have the Cozy Classic Raglan Sweater pattern that Jodi knit and I'm buying some Knitpicks Cotlin yarn to try for a spring/fall weight. I love you both so much!
Okay now I have to make the Cozy Classic Raglan. I’ve been thinking about it, and after hearing Jodi swoon over it and seeing the beautiful FO I’m ready! Tracie, I can’t wait for your new sock pattern! Oh, and not to make you jealous, but I live a couple of miles from our local Target. I was so excited when we finally got one a few years ago! We love Target as much you girls do 😊
Must Love Yarn just started a Scrappy-along and it was inspired by the scrappy cardigan that you showed from the Drunken knitter! That's so cool. I know I'm a little behind but I'm playing catch up on all of my podcasts lol. Keep up the fun, I always get a chuckle out of your shenanigans.
Yes! I am lucky enough to be an hour away from Four Purls Yarn Shop that Emma and her mother Laura have. Hubby JD! They are awesome people to know! It is my 🧶❤️FAV❤️🧶 yarn store! Hope you can make a visit there some day!
Hi Jodie and Tracie, love love love your podcast. I loved all your beautiful knitted items, So much that I've bought the supervsimple summer sweater pattern and downloaded the free Paloma sweater pattern too! Thank you, hope it's not to long before your next podcast!!! Love to you both 😘😘😘
You guys, when knitting in the round, do you use a smaller needle on the left? It's a game changer! Just listening about the needles that have to have have the corresponding sized cable. They sound like a definite no no for me for that very reason. Only about 1/4 of the way through, hoping you will say what pattern that lovely Golden Sweater is? 😬
Yellow queso, and yellow cheese in general whether melted or not, is tex-mex variation on authentic Mexican cuisine. If eaten, more authentic queso is a white cheese and it will have a very distinct flavor on the type of white cheese that is used (such as oaxaca, manchego or cojita). It will NOT taste nor will it have the consistency of Velveeta and if it does, you know it's tex-mex!
Traci, I have the BEST blackening spice recipe!
1 heaping tablespoon paprika
2 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon dried parsley
2 tablespoons black pepper
1 tablespoon dried minced onion
2 teaspoons cayenne
1 heaping tablespoon dried oregano
It makes a ton!
Traci I must thank you so much for reminding me of the crochet fix for loose neckbands. In about an hour I have changed three sweaters from ones I always kept pulling back into place while I was wearing them to ones that now lie properly . ❤️❤️❤️
So if you don't make it next year to Stitches West. Come the following year to Sacramento as their moving to the convention center. Lots of nearby parking, hotels and restaurants. I can't wait as I live in Woodland and it will be a 20 minutes or so instead of the 2+ hours.
Thanks for the tip of crocheting around the neckline. I have a sweater with a big neckline in the exact same color as yours. Will try the crocheting this afternoon. Hopefully I will actually start wearing my sweater after, instead of it laying around unused.
OMG! your boobs with the latest invention to hold them up is hilarious. I 'm glad you did that because It answered my question if they would work for me & the answer is no as I would look just like yours. LOL
Love the Q&A but can you reuse the yarn of a swatch after you have blocked it?
Have you ever seen one of these knitting calculators? Just came across it and I’m fascinated!
How to use the Prym knitting calculator

Tracie! Please don't forget to teach us how to substitute yarn weights!! There are a couple Joji designs id LOVE to make in worsted! Im so excite to see how you do it!
I love the tip about crocheting the neckline. Definitely will be trying that! Hope I can remember to tune in next Thursday!
Tracie you are not old. Mine are 28 and 18. I was twenty when I had my eldest. I'm 48 now. Out of my eldest's friends parents I am the youngest! Lol.
I Jodie and Tracey so glad you are back.
Awesome podcast ladies! Always entertaining and always chuck full of great information🤗. TY
Hello ladies will you post a link where I can purchase those knitting journals? please and thank you. I love you ladies never stop being yourselves.
I had to have Mt bedroom suite shipped they set it in the front yard they are not allowed to bring it in the house. It has to do with their liability insurance.
I’m knitting the Paloma right now too, but in DK. My local knitting shop had a size 2 on display and I was able to try it on. I feel like the sizes run a bit big.
I have that same sock ruler. But, at Christmas my brother gave me one that he printed off his 3D printer. I guess it's a free file on Thingiverse or one of those sites. So, anyone that has access to a 3D printer can make one.
Or is it a robot cleaner or wash machine noise on the background? :) sorry really noise sensitive, I thought it was my neubours first :)
Jodi did you lighten your hair? It looks fantastic!
It would be so womderful if u could come to dawson creek bc peace fiber fest. It is our second annual. We in the peace region r hoping it only gets bigger every year.
Hurray, you’re back x
I am wondering if the question about how to become a test knitter is a more general question, like what are the requirements for being a test knitter, no matter who the designer is. I have often wondered the same thing myself. Thanks
Hi Girls, a cabled coat would be my holy grail. Toni is a crochet wiz, a knitter, a seamstress. Very talented.
I’m going to try that crochet trick on my Floozy!
Tracie, I always turn balls of yarn into cakes also.
Jodi..you should get someone to make a Grocery Girls logo and your sayings fabric !
Welcome back...I'm eating Dove chocolates while watching!
Jody’s hair is fabulous!
Traci...I LOVE your sweater! What's the pattern name for it
I knew it! I’m Slovak, half Rusyn, close to Ukrainian!
Have missed ya'll and now I'm finally able to catch up. Glad ya'll had great vacations.
Ladies...... You look 👀 FABULOUS 🎼❤️🎼❤️🎼
Watching your podcast on a rainy afternoon in Mexico. Glad to hear you both had a good trip.
Ladies I love all the yarns and Jodi’s daughter’s yarn is beautiful
Beet top casserole with dill?! What?!! I need that recipe Jodi! Please share
Hi Jodi love all your sweaters! Can you tell us what cast on you use to get that smooth edge on the collar?
Is there not a Target in Canada? Why? and what do you have comparable?
JODI!!! That sweater is the best one I've ever seen on you. Unfortunately I feel like the pattern seems illfiting around the boob area for smaller sizes with small boob (ie. Me) or else I would knit it too l.
Jody, love the sweater! Can you advise us what the pattern is! Please!
So glad to see you’re back! You’re a ray of sunshine!
Omg, TLYarnCrafts! Toni's Tunisian crochet Sedona sweater looks amazing! I love her model too! (Toni is also gorg af💖)
Toni is beautiful inside and out and I absolutely love her patterns.
Great episode! Always entertaining and full of inspiration!
