You mentioned the Los Angeles fires. Did you all see who came to help us? Our wonderful neighbors Canada and Mexico. Thank you for being the best neighbors.
Hey Tracie & Jodi I am loving your channel, thank you so much for sharing the lovely yarn you bought wow! love it! Sending lots of love from Sydney AUSTRALIA !!!
Hello Tracie and Jodi, congratulations on your Spincycle collab! The color is spectacular. I'm so excited to say that I've signed up for your Mediterranean cruise in the fall. It was a total leap of faith as I've never traveled by myself before. I cannot wait! I'm imagining my own "pinch me" moment.
Hey I'm Ginny, in Sydney Australia, Hey Tracie & Jodi, I love your channel, I love the vests you made for yourselves. I love the blue and the brown, especially because they are my favourite colours. I have never knitted a vest. You have now given me the inspiration to start knitting a vest. Thank you for sharing, love you both, hugs xxx
I think the trick to knitting with Nutiden is absolutely incorporating it with a mohair. I've knitted 4 jumpers using Nutiden and mohair and they are honestly to die for! The wool doesnt break that often, amazingly. Thanks for this podcast
Jodi, when I had my hip replaced a friend told that the day would come where I didn’t think about it at all. Indeed that happens, and sooner than you think. It’s the best gift I’ve ever given myself!!
So fun to catch up with you two. I save your episodes for a good long knit with you. You reminded me of Miss Nancy at the beginning--"I see... and I see.." LOL I am blessed and so excited to see you in Canmore soon!!
So enjoyed this episode; there are notes all over my daily calendar of makers and events to Google when I’m done. The pet sounds (whining, lapping water, meowing) were hilarious. Looking forward to the next time!
Happy New Year! Love the knits....they are GORGEOUS and that Spin Cycle....can.t wait to see all the makes with it. And now I really need to get a MC and knit my Alpine Bloom. Thanks ladies!
Omg I swear if I didn’t have kids I’d put my house on the market right now and go back to renting JUST so I can go on your fall cruise 😂😂😂 I have always thought it would be so much fun hanging with the grocery girls, but doing it on a cruise and in ROME!? Coooome onnn! Literal Dream!! I hope everyone has an amazing time!!! ❤❤❤
I’ve never knit with Nutiden but I have watched Finnish Knitting Stories on UA-cam for almost 2 years. She knits with it frequently and holds 1 strand of yarn Nutiden with 1 strand of mohair.
Tracy, I just LOVE that pink with the blue. It brightens you up and is simply darling. Jodi’s colorwork sweater is beautiful and I really love the colors that she chose! it really goes well with her skin tone. Can’t wait until you and Jodi start selling your yarn! Liz
Tracie, for your Hold The Line sweater you should have the chartreuse color on the inside of the folded neckband and then do folded cuffs too and do the same thing for them. Your color choices are so classic and stunning. I cannot WAIT to see it done up.
I love Nutiden, and have knit several sweaters in it. I’m a continental knitter and i think that makes a difference. I haven’t used mohair. I too make it into balls to then knit with it.
I love nutiden, I used to knit with plötulopi and it is similar but the softness is different- but it takes time to get used to it. and it is worth it - you get a strurdy and light fabric. First of all, one needs to accept it will break. When knitted single, I roll it up and then you sort of "spin it" in a ball and keep the ball in a bowl, secondly it is not for fast, mindless knit! it will break. I also knit with mohair, and it is easier.
Jodi Hi! I found rewinding by hand the Nutiden yarn into a ball causing less breakage. I learned this trick by watching their vlogs and Mr. Nutiden is frequently hand winding the spun yarn into a ball.
Happy new year to you both. WOW the yarn is stunning ❤❤❤. I have made Autumn Alpine in navy and lilac, I started the alpine blossom in shades of purple ❤❤❤
Place 2 plates of Nutiden on a table or floor in front of you, gently unwind the thread and then wrap into a ball. It helps to decrease the breakage. Single thread- hold with mohair. It needs a light touch and death grip is out, lol. Don’t give up, it knits up into a fabulous fabric.
Exactly. Follow this and you will have a great yarn to work with and the most cozy sweaters to use. I have made two sweaters for my hubby and two for me. I also use to put it together with a homespun yarn and knit mittens for myself.
I knit a cowl by Elizabeth Zimmerman with the unspun Icelandic wool and found you can't put any pressure on the yarn! It's like knitting with air! But once it's knit, it's super strong and one of my favorite knits.
Jodi, one of my fur babies wakes me up the same exact way every morning, lol. Now I’ll be thinking about you every morning when she wakes me up, bwahaha! 😅
Hello from Florida girls! Stu said to say hi from him! We e been so busy. Came back from a cruise, bought a new house over by Disney World, getting new siding here this week (thanks to the Hurricanes in October), had company this week… AND getting ready for another cruise next week. Then we come home, close on the new house, get started putting in a new kitchen and then getting ready for a 35 day cruise to Hawaii and Pacific islands in February! But finding time to knit on a shawl, afghan and socks! Miss you guys! Pam and Stu
Tracie, you explaining how you modified your vest is SO helpful. I'm working on a different vest with deep armholes and a high neckline right now so I was furiously writing notes on the pattern in case the neck is too high or the armholes are too deep
I love a schematic that show exactly where to measure, especially for yoked sweaters. I'm never sure where to measure on the yoke unless specifically noted. Also I love that mini shawl you made for your mom❤
Hi Girls! Happy New Year! Always enjoy your podcasts...always something new to learn...about something along with knitting. I heard that you discussed the Elton pullover by Joji Locatelli - can you tell me which episode you discussed it please??
Jodi, I would love to try that Nutidan yarn (spellining?) anyway, I’ve knit a massive shawl with Plötulopi and the yarn didn’t break once. Aito shawl. Maybe it’s because I’m a slow meditative knitter… idk but I hope you’ll find a way to use that yarn. Love you both -am in love with your Alpen bloom tee and Traci‘s colorwork socks OMG you both have inspired me today. Thanks Ladies 💕
Jodi, I’ve had both hips done when there were way more restrictions than there are now. Without a doubt, it’s more than worthwhile. And then people will ask if you’re okay, but you just don’t even think about it. Glad you’re doing well!
Hi, girls! Jodi, Nutiden tips coming. I hated it at first, too. Could not adjust my knitting style to that staple length. After watching a ton of tutorials, this is what I came up with: 1) hand wind yarn from the plate into smaller balls, like the size of a big grapefruit. 2) figure out the staple length and knit holding the yarn close to that length. Hold your yarn close to the needles. 3) gentle. Be loose and easy with your throwing. Look at your work in the beginning. If you follow these rules and adapt your knitting style to them, I promise you will have fun!
Just found you girls. So excited to watch you. Love your new yarn color. Want to purchase ( when available) for a cardigan, just wondering if Dk would be an ok throw on cardigan with no button?
I am so thrilled that I will be getting to meet you in Kansas City!! Congratulations on your new colorway on Spincycle yarn……any chance to see it at the marketplace in Kansas City?
Missouri Star Quilt company has a pattern to make a bag like the Redesign. If you want to find some funky fabric and make your own. :) It's not as big as the one here but you could re-size the pattern.
For working with Unspun yarn, please watch Laura Nelkin’s video on it. It’s invaluable! So many tips! I knit a sweater in Manchelopis and it was really easy. After watching that video. Always “unwrap” from outside. Never pull. This can be a lovely relaxing knit if you treat it with care.
question - I am a fairly new knitter --- on the Sherbet bandana -- on row 6 - instruction is" Inc Row 6 (WS): P1, PTBL, P to end." does it mean to P the first stitch, the Purl the next stitch in back loop, and then (which would be 3rd stitich) purl to the end of the row. Only Purl in back loop for one stitch?
I am attempting to make a V-neck boxy with my advent. Total experiment. Changing yarns every 1.5-3 rows. Going to be a nightmare on the back - but I have hope!
Love you guys, someone I know knit the Caitlyn Hunter sweater, the colorwork one, and hated the collar because it starts to ride up ,so she changed it to a rib. Just saying.
Jodi, I really LOVE watching you, except when you clean your nose, ha ha! Can’t wait to get some of your yarn! It snowed today in NC about 3 inches. Well where we used to live we measured in FEET.🤡
Yes you’re not here now I guess I just saw this a little too late but good morning from North Hollywood California where the fires are everywhere we’re OK but the rest of the city is not. Happy new year.
I’ve knit a ton of sweaters with nutiden. The end product is great but to knit with it, is an effort. Roll into balls first. Hold double or with another yarn. Go slow.
You mentioned the Los Angeles fires. Did you all see who came to help us? Our wonderful neighbors Canada and Mexico. Thank you for being the best neighbors.
Yes so grateful for our Canadian and Mexican neighbors ❤ the fires were AWFUL

So enjoyed this episode; there are notes all over my daily calendar of makers and events to Google when I’m done. The pet sounds (whining, lapping water, meowing) were hilarious. Looking forward to the next time!
What a treat! I’m settled with yarn, coffee and you girls!!!

Oh my gosh Jodi! That colorwork sweater with lace yoke is GORGEOUS on you! Love, ❤
Jodi- your sweater is stunning on you. I enjoy watching you both so much. Happy New Year!
Hello grocery girls. I have been watching you’ll for quite a while. I am enjoying it. Great podcast today.

It was so fun to knit the magpie darling for Jodi - I had never used the bling before. So it was a new experience.
Loooovvveeee the yarns for the Hold the Line sweater and the pop of green is going to be fantastic!!!
Love the Autumn Alpine and colors you chose
Tracie, for your Hold The Line sweater you should have the chartreuse color on the inside of the folded neckband and then do folded cuffs too and do the same thing for them. Your color choices are so classic and stunning. I cannot WAIT to see it done up.
I love Nutiden, and have knit several sweaters in it. I’m a continental knitter and i think that makes a difference. I haven’t used mohair. I too make it into balls to then knit with it.
That yarn!!! Sooo good!
I love everything you knit!! So inspiring.
Tracie, the tweedy is a wonderful yarn. I just finished a weekender crew in it for my teen daughter and love it so much that I want my own in it.
Wow!! PlayfulPop is gorgeous!!!!!
Love all of this
I love nutiden, I used to knit with plötulopi and it is similar but the softness is different- but it takes time to get used to it. and it is worth it - you get a strurdy and light fabric.

I also knit with mohair, and it is easier.
I love nutiden I’m new to using it but it recommends making small balls of it and it helps with breakage oh I love it ..
Jodi Hi! I found rewinding by hand the Nutiden yarn into a ball causing less breakage. I learned this trick by watching their vlogs and Mr. Nutiden is frequently hand winding the spun yarn into a ball.
I am OBSESSED with Haus Labs makeup. Lady Gaga really did her thing! I use the foundation, blush, concealer and lip oil. I’m hooked! 😂
Just ordered some, I'm hopeful!
LOVING your custom Spin Cycle. Congratulations on the collaboration! 🎉
Happy new year to you both. WOW the yarn is stunning ❤❤❤. I have made Autumn Alpine in navy and lilac, I started the alpine blossom in shades of purple ❤❤❤

Jodi, one of my fur babies wakes me up the same exact way every morning, lol. Now I’ll be thinking about you every morning when she wakes me up, bwahaha! 😅
Tracie, wait for the Kintra to be released by Rebecca Clow of CreaBea in February. It’s a top down raglan designed specifically for advent minis.
Hello from Florida girls! Stu said to say hi from him! We e been so busy.

I love hearing the pets in your house!
That spincycle yarn is gorgeous! I made a New Leaf by Jen Steingass using 1 skein of spincycle for the color work yoke- it’s a great design!
I am planning on making vintage flannel this year as well! Hope to have on the needles in February...
I just recently made the Ellis Hat with Tweedy. Plain jane hat...let the yarn do the work!!
Tracie, you explaining how you modified your vest is SO helpful. I'm working on a different vest with deep armholes and a high neckline right now so I was furiously writing notes on the pattern in case the neck is too high or the armholes are too deep
OH! and my skein of Tweedy had a couple strands of tinsel interspersed.
I love a schematic that show exactly where to measure, especially for yoked sweaters. I'm never sure where to measure on the yoke unless specifically noted.
Also I love that mini shawl you made for your mom❤
So excited to see you in Kansas City! I’m coming from Tulsa and my mom is coming from St. Louis!
I love Jodi’s sweater.
Start taking Evening Primrose Oil, it helps with the flashes 🤩
KNIT sweater...I would use a neutral color and advent minis for the colorwork! Either gorgeous or hideous!! Lol
Hi Girls! Happy New Year! Always enjoy your podcasts...always something new to learn...about something along with knitting. I heard that you discussed the Elton pullover by Joji Locatelli - can you tell me which episode you discussed it please??
I love seeing the kitties!!!
Jodi, I would love to try that Nutidan yarn (spellining?) anyway, I’ve knit a massive shawl with Plötulopi and the yarn didn’t break once. Aito shawl.

Love you both -am in love with your Alpen bloom tee and Traci‘s colorwork socks OMG you both have inspired me today. Thanks Ladies 💕
Jodi - your alpine bloom tee looks amazing on you.
OMG, that Bergman is to die for!
Jodi, I’ve had both hips done when there were way more restrictions than there are now. Without a doubt, it’s more than worthwhile. And then people will ask if you’re okay, but you just don’t even think about it. Glad you’re doing well!
Jodi you look stunning in your vest. 😍Love the colour on you and your neckline.

If you follow these rules and adapt your knitting style to them, I promise you will have fun!
Also: knit with 2 strands from 2 separate balls or with one strand of mohair!
I think you girls could sell medicinal tonic and sell a ton! Everything you were showing today I wanted to buy it!
Tracie that sweater is amazing
Just found you girls. So excited to watch you. Love your new yarn color. Want to purchase ( when available) for a cardigan, just wondering if Dk would be an ok throw on cardigan with no button?
Center pull with nutiden is the best way to go ;)
That Spincycle is EPIC! Can’t wait to get my hands on a few skeins. Will you bring some to Canmore?
Yes a KAL for stash or stashed patterns! I’m in!
I am so thrilled that I will be getting to meet you in Kansas City!! Congratulations on your new colorway on Spincycle yarn……any chance to see it at the marketplace in Kansas City?
I did Bergman and I love it.
Romper , Stomper, Bomper, boo! Is from Romper Room! Hi from Michigan!

Happy New Year blessings friends! Suggestion for the Spin Cycle yarn name "Just Before Christmas " or "Something For Everyone"
Have a great weekend!
Good morning girls

question - I am a fairly new knitter --- on the Sherbet bandana -- on row 6 - instruction is" Inc Row 6 (WS): P1, PTBL, P to end." does it mean to P the first stitch, the Purl the next stitch in back loop, and then (which would be 3rd stitich) purl to the end of the row. Only Purl in back loop for one stitch?
I would pull from the outside. Treat it like knitting with roving. Hold the yarn further away from your needles and lightly twisted it.
I am attempting to make a V-neck boxy with my advent. Total experiment. Changing yarns every 1.5-3 rows. Going to be a nightmare on the back - but I have hope!
A suggestion is to roll the Nuutinen into small balls
The salsa is from Venezuela. ‼️‼️
I can't seem to find that pinkety pink yarn anywhere. :(
Love you guys, someone I know knit the Caitlyn Hunter sweater, the colorwork one, and hated the collar because it starts to ride up ,so she changed it to a rib. Just saying.
We love a lace moment ❤
Knit and purl sweater- Colors should be dark navy and cream. (Close to the original colors but not the exact colors)
Jodi, I really LOVE watching you, except when you clean your nose, ha ha! Can’t wait to get some of your yarn! It snowed today in NC about 3 inches. Well where we used to live we measured in FEET.🤡

Yes you’re not here now I guess I just saw this a little too late but good morning from North Hollywood California where the fires are everywhere we’re OK but the rest of the city is not. Happy new year.
Fires out of control are so scary. I hope you stay safe and hoping the winds stay calm.

Good morning from Calgary
