We all want video of Ray in his safety gear working in the yard! It will be priceless. 😂😂
We will definitely get some videos of him in it.
Still pictures included in a NATR 2024 Calendar 📆 Awesome 😎
Old enough to be your grandmother, but have to say, you guys are crazy AND I love you! Enjoy watching you and seeing the great items you knit and crochet. You are a bright spot in my weekend.
Thanks so much!! That just made our day ❤️
Me, too.
Hi, guys! Ever since I retired a few years ago, I’ve lost all sense of time! I thought I had to wait another week to enjoy our visit!! Glad I found you! ❤❤
Welcome back! So glad we got to hang out with you a bit early in your mind ❤️
About three years ago, I used Kelbourne Woolens Scout to make my first sweater ever. It’s very nice yarn at a very reasonable price. My stitches looked perfect, which had everything to do with the yarn and zilch to do with my skills. The color was stunning. The FO looked fabulous on me. After about three wearings, it accidentally got into the dryer and, uhhh… just make sure you don’t do that. ❤️
Oh no 🙈 I will definitely be careful…yikes, so sorry 😞
Ray, your blue sweater is gorgeous too! Love the color and the different stitch patterns in it
Yarn and definition is beautiful. I am looking for a yarn for a sweater for my son. What is the scratchiness of this wool? He does not tolerate itchy. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Thank you Daryl!
It feels coarse when you are knitting with it, the sample that we felt, felt soft once it was blocked.
Fun episode. You keep me entertained while I knit and I got in about 2 hours of knitting time watching. Love seeing all the projects. Kevin congrats for turning in your notice at work. New and exciting things are just around the corner. Good luck with this semester of school Ray and good for you for sticking with it! Love the chain saw gear. Wishing you both a wonderful vacation.
Thank you Sharon.
Kevin, your Stephen West shawl is gorgeous! No candy canes! No ketchup & mustard! The colors are beautiful!
Thank you so much Daryl.
I love the type of yarn that Ray called 80/20. Rounder, tight twist, etc. perfect sock yarn!!!
Definitely my favorite type of sock yarn.
I waited to have some time to sit and enjoy your visit! Kevin, congrats on your new adventure! The colours you dye are fabulous and I love your sense of colour and the names are perfect! And Ray, I am very happy you got the gear to go with the chainsaw. Looking forward to some action video. 😉
Thank you, I can’t wait to focus on the yarn dying full time.
Yeah, Kevin, Good for you! I'm glad you can have a chance to do the things you love! Ray, your color work sweater is incredible! I love it.
Thank you!! We are so excited for this next chapter 🥰
Kev! Your twist and turns SCREAMS Gryffindor!
Agree, it is definitely giving off that Gryffindor vibe.
You gentlemen are soooo feisty in this episode! I love it … especially Ray’s f-bomb 😂
Lol oops 🙊
Hi guys, you are my favorite knitting men. Hubby works every other Saturday and I look forward to spending the afternoon with you. Love the safety gear Ray. Kevin, congrats on your new day job !!!! Thanks for all the fun....
Thank you so much Candee!
Always fun with you guys. Ray, welcome to Tunisian crochet. I started learning Tunisian a few years ago and I love it. As you have undoubtedly seen, there are soooooooo many fun stitches!
It has been really fun to give it a try and will continue doing it.
It was fun knitting dishcloths with you both last Saturday! Glad you found the pattern Kevin. Your brick wall looked great. Ray, you’ve inspired me to explore Tunisian crochet. I love the fabric it creates. Kevin, since you started the naming the sections of your shawl “candy cane” and “mustard”. Even though I love the color combo, the white unnamed section could be mayo! If it’s a bit speckled,, tarter sauce. 😂. Seriously, the colors are wonderful together. Ray, glad you’re listening to your concern subscribers! Safety first! 💕
It was great seeing you during the revaluation. Yes, mayo is definitely the white section.
Happy Sunday Morning to me! Watching you and working on my WIP to get it off needles!
Good Morning Clara! Hope you have a great day, good luck getting your WIP done.
hi guys thanks for another great podcast. Ray, That is the best hat ever. it looks amazing on you
Thank you! It is such a great hat pattern.
Love the tunisian cloths. What a great way to try a new craft. Also Ready Player 1 is Soooooooo good
I loved doing the Tunisian crochet.
Love the colors for the moon bumps. Gorgeous!
Thank you Margo, I am so happy with the colors and the pattern.
You guys will love it there. It’s a nice area. My husband and i go up that way often. We live in the northeast corner of PA. He is in the Catskills right now hiking!! Now i can’t stop thinking how absolutely cool it would be if i saw you guys around there. I would think for sure my mind was playing tricks on me lol. Enjoy your stay. I hope you have a great getaway ❤❤
Thank you Suzi, we can’t wait for our getaway.
I am a professor at a university and don’t be so hard on yourself
Everyone understands life happens. You are doing great ❤
Thank you!! That means so much! I just want to do a good job and you’re totally right, we can get in our own way sometimes ❤️
@@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast I am a big softie with my students because I know how hard everyone works. So I am all about supporting success❤️
Oh my goodness. Group projects are a circle of hell Dante should have included in the Inferno.
Completely agree, I really dislike group projects.
@Ray. Safety is non-negotiable! Proud of you for getting all the correct PPE. Have you read ‘Tress’? Excellent. @Kevin. I also want to try that sock cuff……words escape me at the moment for what it’s called. Have a great vacation (and you really don’t need bathing suits for hot tubs). #dishclothrevolution2023.
Thanks Dee. We haven’t hear of tress before, we will take a look at it. The cuff I was thinking about was a Double Knit cuff.
Beautiful Knitting and Crochet work as always! Damn Ray your Hatch Hat looks so great on you and coordinates so well with your shirt! Four skeins of Kelbourne Woolens Scout are on the way for future Hatch Hat gift knitting but the Teal Heather will be mine. Talk about enabling!
Thank you Mary, love the hat pattern and the yarn was great to work with.
Wonderful crocheting, knitting…I loved it all. Of all the bags you have shown, Chip’s bags are the best. What a great design. He is a genius.Love from Japan.
We love his bags and are really happy we were able to snag a few.
Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy. John Denver
I was on a Zoom and witnessed Chip knitting a dishcloth. We will see if he is a covert.
Congratulations Kevin on taking the step towards your new adventure.
Thank Deborah! Wish we saw him knitting.
Hi both!
Edith Butler is actually a Canadian singer from the Maritime provinces. She’s what we call Acadian, which are the French speaking minority in the East. Since she sings mostly in French, she is well known in Quebec, so Max and Vincent made a fun pun (as they do) but maybe very niche this time around!
Thank you for sharing that info Catherine.
Ray, I will never look at starfish the same! lol You're too funny. Great episode guys, as always!
LOL
Holy fracking crap. Margaretville? That is so close to the parents farm and where I grew up. It’s beautiful there. Enjoy your vacation!
Thanks friend.
I love Tunisian crochet. So happy to see you gave it a try!!
I really enjoyed it, can’t wait to do some more.
I work in the forestry industry glad to see your PPE. Chainsaw pants are the best. Would recommend safety glasses still under the screen ❤
Thank you for the suggestion, we have a couple of pairs of safety glasses here, Kevin uses they for dying yarn,
Your projects all look wonderful. I especially like Kevin's T&T and cardigan, and Ray's Dustland. I'm planning to do the Dustland cardigan at some point. I love a long cardi.
Love the acquisitions, too. You have such good taste. I got my Les Garçons, too, and I'm so in love with it. As a Red Wings fan I'm really hoping the octopus will be red. It would be very appropriate.
Oh that would be awesome 🤩
Love your podcast such great entertainment....here for the knitting, FOs, WIPs...your both such talented knitters :)
Thank you so much! We love sitting down to hang out with you all ❤️❤️
Hope to see some pictures of you working in the yard (all dressed up of course). Enjoyed this session as usual. Thanks
We will definitely get some pictures or videos of Ray in his safety gear.
Hi Guy’s Lovely to see you both again. Just finished my first shawl I loved the process it’s not perfect but I love it❤I miss it already. I suppose that means I’ll have to get back to my pesky socks which I’m finding more difficult than it should be! I’ve finished my crochet blanket, but I still have my cardigan to work on. Also finished two jumpers for our youngest grandson.Loving our craft 🧶👍🏻
Hi Judy! Congrats on finishing your 1st shawl, they can be quite addicting.
So happy Ray bought the safety gear! I won't tell you the details, but my husband had an incident 33 years ago sawing firewood. Grear video and awesome projects again this week. X
Thank you Simone.
Great visit as always, I’m definitely working on my Wips to spring clean, including my Spring Clean shawl by Stephen West. Ray,
The Mists of Avalon is my favourite Arthurian legend story too. I then got sucked into all the other linked books by Marion Zimmer Bradley, there’s a lot, when I visited Tintagel in Cornwall. My name is Morgan is on my list to read. Don’t forget steel toe capped boots for the chainsaw outfit. Have a great vacation x
Hi Dianna! I’ll have to check out Marion Zimmer Bradleys other books.
I crocheted a Rainbow Ripple blanket for my twins and it was the best floor blanket! We even used it for their newborn photo session and I used it as the backdrop for their monthly photos too ❤
That is so cute, it really is a great pattern.
Ray, I love your safety garb. You look fab!.
Thank you Kiz!
Ray, after watching this you got me interested in Tunisian as I always wanted to try! So went out bought the hook and now I’m working on that pattern! Simple stitch! It’s so fun and a cool technique!! So thank you!! ❤
Yay, so happy you decided to give it a try.
Oh I just ordered that same set of Tunision Crochet set not only for regular tunion crochet, but I learned that because the small knitting cords will fit you can use them to pick up stitches for a sweater or any thing else ten just swat out the crochet hook for the knitting needles and viola you are set to continue knitting.
Ray I am so happy that you have your safety gear! I will now dub you Husqvarna Ray.
Thanks for another wonderful episode.
Hi Margaret, That is a really great suggestion, never thought of using them that way,
Kevin love the shaw/scarfs! Ray being a nurse I’m sure you know safety is a must!
Love all the Fo’s, WIPS and acquisitions ❤
Those knitting baskets would be great to wrap around someone’s walker or wheelchair you could use to hold your knits or other objects.
Hope all y’all in the NATR community have a wonderful blessed week ahead.
Real people wear flowers! 🌸🌸🌸
Thank you! They would be great to be used on a walker or wheelchair, what a great idea.
Ray , you are so funny! Loved all your safety equipment!
Dianne
Haha 😂 thanks 😊
Ray, you look great in those blue colors!
Aww thank you so much! I’m really excited 😊
Great show. Thank you.
Now I want to buy ALL the yarn.
My son’s grade 6 teacher thought Ready Player One was a good book to read out loud to the class. Much different context for adults.
Thank you Lisa. I definitely need to get back to reading it.
I love Tunisian crochet but don’t do it enough. I’m going to have to make some of those dishcloths
I am really loving the Tunisian crochet.
Perfect Blend Yarn shop and Knitting Room NY are great yarn shops near Catskills NY. Have a great vacation!
Thank you for the suggestion!
I want to go throigh every episode and curate clips of Ray cursing and/or quipping something hilarious and Kevin not reacting 😂 "bones" 😂😂
LOL that would be fun to see.
Kevin, congrats on your retirement from the CC. So excited for your new venture!! 👍👏🏻🙌❤ Hope you both have a fun and relaxing vacation. Can’t wait for the recap!! ❤
Thank you! I really exited to start the next chapter.
Oh my giddy aunt - the safety gear is something else - cannot wait for this guys 😂😂
Lol 😂
Last episode you inspired me to purchase the Brooklyn Tweed hat pattern to make while I was on vacation in Hawaii. I used yarn that was in my stash, Cascade Yarns Sarasota, a 60% cotton and 40% acrylic. It turned out fantastic and fits so well. I then purchased the recommend yarn, Arbor and plan to cast on this weekend. Thanks!!!
Hi Julia, Glad that you enjoyed the pattern, the Arbor is a beautiful yarn, hope you love working with it.
Love the chain saw garb!
Ok I am calling it you both inspired me that I need to get out my twists and turns mal and finish it for your spring cleaning MAL. I need that one done before I decide to frog it. 😂
Yay! So happy to hear you are going to finished the shawl.
Just watching now - I was travelling when this came out, catching up 😊. Wow Ray - your Parish Lines 2.0 looks AMAZING!!! Love your color and yarn choices (Holst is an absolute fav), it looks sooooo good! No stress on completion so go at your own pace - dont rush. Big congrats to Kevin on retirement - I’m in the process of the same too but winding down a business takes a while which honestly is nice. Happy knitting to you both. Kevin - cudos to you for a double knit band - super intimidating but sooo effective. OK, better go for now and will finish the episode. ❤
Hi Beth!! Hope you enjoyed your time traveling, I am loving the pattern/sweater, can’t wait to finish and wear it,.
Kevin’s twists and turns shawl is giving Gryffindor vibes. I love it.
Definitely see the gryffindor vibes that it is giving.
Ray, the color of your Hatch is beautiful! If I forget to weigh the skein beforehand, I just weigh the project before I trim the ends. 😊
Thank you Brenda, good suggestion.
Kevin, if you like a skinnier wrap, the Spring Intentions Wrap by Kat Weaver is a good one. Ray, you might like it too as it’s texture patterns some of which feel similar to the Dustland sweater. Have a good two weeks guys!
Thank you for the suggestion Julie.
My husband loves the smashing pumpkins! So bummed there’s no more of that yarn left! Such a great colorway
Aaron did a really great job with his colors.
Hi Kevin and Ray! Another enjoyable podcast! So happy to see you will be safe "Chainsaw Ray"! Happy Knitting!
Thanks so much! Safety first lol 😂
Hi Kevin and Ray! My family and I will also be going away next week. We’re gonna be in the Adirondacks area and also staying in a cabin. One yarn shop that I will recommend is Common Thread Saratoga in Saratoga Springs, NY. Don’t know if this shop will be close by for you guys but it’s worth checking it out. Have a wonderful vacation!
Thank you for the suggestion, we will add that to our list. Hope you and the family enjoy your vacation.
I just cracked myself up imagining Ray taking out the trash wearing all the safety gear. 😂😂
LOL! Can’t wait to see if he actually does.
Kevin, we bought the same yarn. I got MIS disc 2 as well. I have 2 skeins and I think I'm going use them to make a cowl. This past winter I found that I really liked how quick and easy it was to just throw a cowl on with my coat when I was headed out. Cheers!
We love a good cowl, there are a few in our queue that we need/want to make.
Great podcast. So glad they are long. 👍
Thank you so much Carol.
Honeycomb is one of my favs…. I love Tunisian crochet… glad you tried it. I am currently teaching a class for it at my local yarn shop and testing a Tunisian crochet cardigan…
It was a really fun stitch to work on.
Loved the episode guys! Edith Butler is also an Acadian singer popular in Quebec and New Brunswick.
Omg awesome!! Thank you 😊
Had a fun spending some time with you guys while I knitted and crocheted - it's so fun when someone inspires you, so a big thanks to Ray for mentioning his endeavours with Tunisian Crochet... I had bought all sorts of Tunisian hooks years ago and only tried it a few times, but didn't enjoy it as much as regular crochet or knitting, so they just sat... until you mentioned the dishcloths, and I just picked up a free pattern and am making us some placemats for our kitchen table - I'm already 3/4 through the first one, just listening to you guys (put your podcast on pause, ran to the stash and got my equipment and then continued with you in Tunisian, lol). Having fun with this, and it really is great just hearing about all the different projects and craft tries and life chat. Cheers guys! Have a great holiday getaway! Judith 💜💚
Thank you Judith. Glad to hear you are giving Tunisian crochet another try.
Check out the Ethan throw Tunisian crochet! You will love it Ray. I'm a retired nurse 40 yrs!
Thank you for the suggestion!
Good episode again today! Love the FOs and the WIPs. I think that the Edith’s Butler might be a reference to a Acadian-Canadian singer Edith Butler from the east coast, New Brunswick. Love colour of this first club skein. ❤️ Editing to add that I am happy you have bought the safety equipment.
That is definitely the reference.
Love the color of your hat
Beautiful.
Thank you Lisa!
Ha, ha! You guys crack me up! Love the safety outfit!
Lol 😂
😂hello Waldo (aka Kevin) your Twists and Turns condiment shawl is beautiful. Don’t give up on it. Oh, the white can be mayonnaise! This is all said in good humor and not to hurt any feelings.
Thank you Lisa, I really do love the colors.
Ray that blue is your color ❤
Brilliant guys. Just brilliant. Love hearing and seeing what you have been doing these last two weeks. Kevin, I always think of Harry Potter when I see your shawl. The colours just make me think of Harry P. Love your jumper Ray. Delighted beyond that you have given in your notice Kevin. This is going to be a fabulous new chapter and wonderful for you both. Have a super break and look forward to hearing all about your jolly and looking forward to seeing Ray in the back yard doing whatever makes him happy with the chainsaw and gear 😂😂
Hi Jill! I definitely get the Gryffindor vibe from the shawl. Very excited to start the next chapter with yarn dying.
Kevin, you might be seeing candy canes, ketchup, and mustard, but your Twists and Turns looks very Gryffindor-ish to me, it’s gorgeous!
Thank you Kimber.
Have a great time on your trip to the Catskills!! You should check out The Roxbury Experience. Rooms and cottages are amazing!!! Kingston is the closest "City".
Thank you Betsy.
Loved the chain saw chaps!!
LOL can’t wait to wear them.
Bit late into coming to this podcast busy busy
Thank you good pod with interesting knits yarns & bags
I started last year Tunisian crochet to make my granddaughter a blanket enjoyed it but it used so much yarn for only few inches that reverted back to knitting corner to corner 2 stripe in her chosen colours Eucalyptus green & musk pink it’s coming on nicely back to Tunisian for another project ( sleeveless vest ) as a layer look maybe !
See you next time belated Happy Easter 🐥🐣
Thanks for sharing Sue, didn’t realize that Tunisian used up that much yarn.
Ray, you and your f-bombs are adorable! Love it!
LOL we try to keep the swearing to a minimum, but sometime we slip
Hello Kevin and Ray, Thank you, so excited to have won, congratulations to the other winners. Loving your projects, Kevin, you twists and turn colours remind me of Harry Potter. OMG Ray, you look so cute in your safety gear. Thanks for another exciting podcast. Hugs ❤❤❤
Yay, congrats Linda!
Hello! I have been watching almost since the beginning, first time commenting. Just thinking how much I always enjoy even though I don’t knit 😂…I’m a crocheter. I finally ordered a set of Chiagoo interchangeables, we will see. Thanks for all the enjoyable content (including the occasional crochet piece).
Thank you so much, hope you enjoy the needles.
Good one guys! Love the Dustland sweater, hat and crochet blanket and washcloths, Ray. And Kevin, your Twists and Turns is so spectacular in those colors. Also am impressed with your sweater progress. Very nice! Take a look at the Dustland cardigan again, you can make it much shorter and there are regular length samples. So glad you are still breaking the bank and making glorious purchases. And lastly, oh joy for the little F bomb that slipped it's way into this episode. Thanks!
Thank you Donna.
Hi guys!!!!!
Definitely OG here, I remember Kevin's first shy podcast!! 😊
It's the 2nd outstandingly sunny day here in central California in a couple months after all the rain (or snow in the Sierra Nevadas..... some places over 50, almost 60 FEET!!)
Love the dustland! I always do sleeves first because I'm afraid of running out & one sleeve ends up shorter.....I would call the stitch pattern a Gansey style.
I love the mysterious sea!!!
So happy I got it!! The video doesn't do it justice.
I convinced myself to get Les Garcons "stash enhancer"...O M G!!! I'm in love...
I put a note that I loved moody colors & it was like they knew me!!!!! ❣️❣️
Have an amazing fortnight!!
Hi Patti! Hope you are doing well. The mysterious sea is so fun, glad you were able to make a purchase from them.
Enjoyed spending my morning with you guys! Always fun catching up.
Thank you so much, we appreciate you watching and commenting.
GM guys 💝
Love your podcasts love you guys!!!
Congrats Kevin on your new journey in life … you will do great things 💝😊🇨🇦🇨🇦
Thank you Debbie!
Great stuff. Thanks for another entertaining episode.Greetings from Germany
Thank you Claudia.
Ray, my first Tunisian crochet was a baby blanket, it was so nice and thick and spongy feeling. There are lots of patterns on UA-cam. Kevin congrats on starting a new chapter in your life, quitting your job to go full time dyer is exciting.
Thank you Moni, I am really excited for the next chapter. We think a Tunisian crochet blanket would be so nice, we will definitely look up some patterns.
Kingston has a new yarn shop called Yarn Farm Kingston and there’s The Knitting Room which is in Windham, I’m not sure how far that is from Margaretville. And there’s The Perfect Blend in Saugerties. Have a a great vacay!
Thank you for the suggestions Barbara!
Super fun podcast as usual. Ray, LOVE the test knit! Please tell us when it’s available for sale. Love the chip bags, sorry they’re sold out!
Will do!! 😊
Kevin I am so excited for you for your new venture. Oh Ray you will be ok. You are amazing.
Kudos to you sticking with the twists and turns. I abandoned mine before the KAL was completed. Honestly though I think I picked the wrong yarns. I absolutely love yours!! It is giving me 100% Gryffindor vibes.
Thank you Nik. Can’t wait to get it off my needles.
Ray…love the teal colored Hatch hat. It’s my favorite hat so far. The yarn for your Duster Sweater looks so nice and squishy. Kevin…love the Brick Wall dish cloths. And your cardigan is simply WOW! I hope one day that I can be a knitter of your magnitude. 😊
It is such a great hat pattern, fits so well.
Ray, your dustland is going to GORGEOUS. Kevin, you talked about trying not to let WIPs with errors languish. I know sometimes my brain needs time away to be able to figure out what I did wrong. ❤❤❤
Thank you! That is exactly it, I need time to process the mistake and figure out what I did and the best way to correct it.
Ray, good for you for owning your group work flub. I'm glad you are sticking with the class. Totally understand the anxiety and feeling of being overwhelmed. You were brave to reach out to the group and get on the right track.
Thank you, the past 2 weeks have definitely been smoother.
Also for baby blankets I’ve made waffle stitch and ocean waves by bag o day!! Such squishy blankets!
Thank you for the pattern suggestions Stella.
@@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast you’re welcome!!!
Ray, I am so glad you invested in some protective gear. I hope LSU women win.
Safety first. Congrats to the LSU women, they played a phenomenal game.
Tunisian crochet is so fun.
It really is and crochet is always super fast.
If your having issues with colors in photos you can by photo cards to help with correcting. For instance gray cards will help with the white balance.
Thanks for the suggestion, I will have to check that out.
While I enjoy every moment of your sharing, Ray's donning his Chainsaw Charlie garb made my week! You are both such a delight. Congratulations and best wishes for you Kevin on your new chapter.
LOL glad you enjoyed that segment 😀
OMG, I love The Last Dragon.
Right??!! Yay!! So good 😊
