Jonna, when your parent becomes a certain age you become the parent. When mymdad died my oldest was 7 and 4 years later my mom died. Cherish your days! Love your podcast and so much to take in. Have a great week!
Summer Lee's book is wonderful! I can't ever figure out why people have such opinions on Petit Knit. Seems a little unfair considering there's designers people love and knit endlessly. It's a wonderful compliment to the designer/ company when a knitter wants to knit your designs again and again. I just knit the Harold's Junior Jumper for my son's first communion, and it was my first pattern I completed- I will hands down knit more. It was AWESOME! all the best! You two look great! - Kimberly
It doesn't work for me to backtrack when I lose something, but when I forget a thought or something I was abut to do, it always comes back to me when I go back to the place I was where I thought of it in the first place. I had a little boy come flying down the stairs, around the corner, and down the hall, calling my name, at a schooli was teaching at. But when he caught up with me, he forgot what he was going to say and was totally embarrassed. I told him "you didn't forget, you dropped your thought at the bottom of the stairs. I saw it fall." He gave me a funny look, but went back to where I said he dropped his thought, and sure enough, the thought jumped back into his head. He came back to me in awe, that his thought had fallen out of his head, and asked his question. Lol. The kids always thought I was magic or something.
Oh my goodness! I love that! And it happens to us all the time. We're constantly dropping our thoughts and have to go back and hope they jump back in our heads. 😂😘 Kim & Jonna
keep smiling ladies, you are both busy with life adjustments xx
Hello! Great to see you together again. Losing your knitting mojo can be upsetting, but sometimes it makes the kitting Better when you start again. I like to look at British decorating magazines for colour inspiration, and maybe cut out pictures for a collage. Doing something completely different - painting, drawing, colouring mandalas, beading earrings, cooking - anything that will allow your mind to reset. Something I like to do is make hats to donate to homeless shelters, NICU's, women's shelters, a cancer treatment center. I am being treated at Dana Farber in Boston, and the medication I am on has rendered me unable to follow any but the simplest pattern, so I am trying to embrace the change, but also looking forward to some colourwork by November! Take good care of yourselves, and each other. 😊
Wonderful podcast so enjoy being inspired, wish there was more time in a day! Kim your mending was spot on! A lot of my socks are about 10 yrs old & the heels have holes I’ve mended some but not all. Jonna your petite knit sweater in that blue is stunning. Happy knitting!🧶 ❤
loving the flower project Kim xx
Such lovely projects! Just love you Ladies!
Great having you both back with us.
Non-knitting comment: Jonna, sometimes I've heard it called the snadwich generation. Because parents are living longer and kids are having grandchildren and also facing economic issues, middle agers are taking care of both elders and youngers. Sympathy, it is a real thing.
BTW, loving both of your insights and works; enjoing your casts!
Thank you for your episode. I really like your style. Your knits are so beautiful ❤ I really appreciate when your tell needle size on US size and in millimeter. I live in Europe so I understand millimeter more than US size
Had a great time watching the two of you today. Thank you
Always a pleasure to hear about your knitting adventures! I enjoyed the episode. Kim, I'm glad you are paying attention to your knitting mojo and mixing it up. It's what keeps us from getting burned out. Good luck, Jonna, with your two new black projects. I hope your eyes are better than mine! The men's sweater looks easy enough, but the all over texture sweater seems more of a challenge. You are a brave soul! I have a handy magnifying light that I love sooo much. It has been a lifesaver. (Hint, hint)LOL
I love It’s a Sarah podcast and her funny use of English and her heart jumping moments 🩶
Lovely episode as always!! Love all your plans on new knits💖 I hope you also very soon can reach 20.000🎉 Hugs! Lotte (from Sweden)
You’re right stash has a negative connotation. I don’t use that word ever. instead, I have Supplies. An artist has Supplies. Knitting is a type of art and yarn is part of my supplies😊
Fun fact about the current building that Village Wool is in: it was a part of the Underground Railroad.
Hugs to you both! Jonna knit what you love. Don't let anyone make you feel self conscious. Petite Knit is your jam and the style works for you. Kim I love your swatch board. Keep your chins up. Haha that reads funny. You don't have extra chins. Keep your individual chins up. 😂
Thank you! 😘
Kim, love your sweater!😊
Love your Podcast... I thought of a pattern since you were talking about granny squares. It's at a German store in Munich called Die Mercerie. The pattern is Lizzy where you use Granny's on the raglan or can make a cardigan. I hope to acquire when I make it back to Deutschland!!!
What a fun episode, and it was so nice to see both of you together! As I was enjoying your podcast, I was knitting (or re-knitting) a Capolette top, by Elizabeth Smith. I had hoped to wear it this weekend, but no…Have a great few weeks, and I can’t wait to watch a new episode. Happy knitting!
Jonna, I love the McKinney Knittery as well. I moved to College station, Texas from Fairfield County a year ago and I was able to sneak a quick visit to the McKinney Knittery while wedding dress shopping for my daughter. I loved it and can’t wait to go back.
Love the whole episode but that last “freeze frame” is so joyful. Thanks for sharing. I hope your families heal and you can continue to feel this joy.
Great to see you again!! Your sound is perfect!! Much improved! Loved watching all the things you both are knitting. Just glad you can find some time in your lives to share with us. Thank you!!
Oh thanks so much for the episode - I love seeing what you guys are up to. Jonna - I pre-ordered the Summer Lee's book as well. Her patterns are my favorites, I'm a pretty new sock knitter. I agree that reading the book is like listening to her talk. Kim - I structure my knitting the same way - however I usually have 2-3 tips, with one that is an easy palette cleanser and one is more involved and takes my brain power (and eye sight so it often only gets worked on during daylight). I am in love with your Primrose Throw!
Thank you for nice sunday company from Norway. Have an nice easter holiday to both of you.🎉
Thank you for all the goodness! I finally had time to watch! 😊
Jonna, those blue tones are so good on you!
Wow beautiful hats!!
Jonna…LOVE your hair cut!
Thank you! 😊 Jonna
Love to watch you two 💜🩶🩵
Beautiful swatch pic Kim x
Jonna, we moved my Mom into assisted living 2.5 years ago. She was living independently up until that time. She’s turning 100 in June! We, too, have car seats in our vehicle and a rollator in the back.
You knit that zipper sweater he will love it. I have made my hubby a few sweaters and he as asked for another zipper one he said it’s his favourite one so comfy
Jonna, I also have to watch the Chilly Dog video every time😂😮
At this point, can't BO without it. 😂
I love my collection and stash is said by drug dealers that’s why it’s so negative.
I’m always so happy to see you two again it’s always a pleasure to watch. Thank you ladies
Love watching!!!❤
Knitting sure is a journey. I’ve been knitting for quite awhile but am still learning new things. Kim, I love your swatch board. Jonna, there is satisfaction in depilling. I enjoy your podcast and am a subscriber. I like the notification bell because then I don’t miss an episode.
Hi Denise,
Thank you so much for watching, commenting, subscribing, and turning on your notifications! We wouldn't enjoy this UA-cam journey quite so much without all of you lovely viewers. 😘 Kim & Jonna
wow interesting news regarding fixing your friends knitwear x
Fabulous thank you both for sharing 🥰
Always so nice to see alllll the projects, from beginning (yarn!) to Final Finished piece! It doesn’t help my FOMO with all the gorgeous yarn behind you! The little bits of patchwork on the sweater…how very sweet of you! And I really like the finished look!
Thanks for a good time (as I work on some scrappy socks, yarn from THE. COLLECTION.)
Thanks for brightening my grey, chilly day! (Where DID spring go ?!?)
Thank you so much for watching and commenting! It's fun for us to document our projects from beginning to end too. It's also sometimes a great motivator to finish projects that might otherwise be put aside when challenging, annoying, or boring. 😂
😘 Kim & Jonna
So nice to see you both just being you and sharing what you are doing , knitting....a lovely way to spend my Sunday afternoon. Thanks to both and I am delighted to hear you are both going to the retreat....great memories are to be made.
Love catching up with you both. It’s a great time for me to knit along and listen in 💚
Hello ladies great to see you again both looking pretty in your knitting pieces of art xx
You are both so adorable. I love watching you and every single project you showed 💖😍🥰
Great episode. I was thrilled to see Summer Lee’s book. It is a great book.
Most enjoyable podcast. Love your knits and that blanket. I have the sock book on preorder but it is not available in the UK until the autumn. 🇬🇧
Lovely podcast good to see you both with all that knitting.
Love your podcast! Thanks for taking the time to share your knitting and other life events. 💚
I always pull from the centre😄
I like to think of "stash" like I'm a little woodland creature tucking away valuable sustenance for winter. I'm not a hoarder; I'm a cute little chipmunk
Beautiful knitting samples!!
Yay…so happy to see this pop up…can’t wait to watch…👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤗💗
I did a crochet cast on for my Soho Square and it looks really good I think if I do say so myself 😉
Jonna there is a funny book titled "when I say no I feel guilty" you may have to get it from a second hand book store🙃🙂
😂 I'll definitely have to look for that book. Thank you! ❤️Jonna
Great to see you both!
Kim, McKayla's vest gave me an idea. You could have mended the sweater with felted patches.
So true! Maybe next time...
I can’t believe it. We were together in Italy last year. I am going to Murano this year. I wish you would be there. Thank you so much.
I so wish we could see each other again in Italy, but I'm sure we'll bump into each other somewhere in the future... like always 😉...
😘 Kim
P.S. Congratulations on winning the mYak yarn. Did you receive it yet?
Jonna, my Mom's 88 and in a wheelchair. I had to bring her from NM to NJ when I live and get her rehab after several health issues, now she's doing well in assisted living. But it's a concern every day and I know how that goes. Also wheelchair users have particular issues. My heart and love to out to you and your family. ❤
Thank you so much for your heart and love. This has really been a difficult time, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I want my dad to enjoy as much as possible whatever time he has left. 🥰 Jonna
Love the bunny!! Just in time too, Going to make a bunny for my great, great nephew
Loved your video Ladies, as always. Jonna not sure that textured cardigan by PetiteKnits will show up its sttitch beauty with such a dark colour - good luck and looking forward to seeing it. Take care both and Kim you are looking super slim xx
True about the color, but not casting on immediately so have time to change my mind. And Kim says thank you!
😘 Jonna
At the beginning it looked like a woman with a hat on was between the two of you, facing and leaning on the table! Of course they were just knitted (and felted) items. But later on Jonna bumped the hat and said, “Oh, I just bumped her.” Thanks for sharing your projects and ideas. Always a joyful podcast.
😂 So funny! Thank you so much for watching and commenting! 😘 K&J
Hi Kim, I live near Glastonbury and visit Village Wool often. I would love to know if/when you visit the store again or film something from that location. 🙂
Hi Suzy,
I would love to meet up with you next time I'm there. Can you email me at ktogwkimandjonna@gmail.com and then we can exchange contact information?
Hi ladies thank you for another lovely podcast. You two keep me entertained whilst making dinner & washing up afterwards. Love your projects. Must get around to making a V neck myself. Just acquired some beautiful yarn from Stitches and Cream in Cornwall UK who specialize in British spinners & dyers including John Arbon. Looking forward to starting either the Ilha sweater or ranunculus . Nice decision which ever I choose first. Take care & happy knitting. X
Thank you so much for watching and commenting! It's so lovely to interact with you from across the ocean and hear about all of your knitting plans.
😘 Kim & Jonna
@@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna ❤️
I have a piece of gray wool fabric that my husband found at an auction sale and proudly presented to me. I didn't have the heart to tell him that grey looked terrible on me, and that kind of wool was too itchy for me to wear, so I set it aside for a couple of years. But then I thought I could line it and make a poncho and then I could wear it because it wouldn'tbe next to skin, so I pulled it out and was horrified to see that moths had feasted on it. Then I decided I would embroider daisies on each hole, using the daisy center as the woven part over the hole. I bought a bunch of embroidery thread to do it, but haven't started yet. (And this was a few years ago, before visible mending became trendy. I'd better get back to it.) But now that I see the cute little squares that Kim did on that sweater, I think I like that even better. I had thought of that originally, but thought it would look too much like I patched holes. But it doesn't in a variety of colours, which is what I had bought. It looks lovely. And all the added colours will look better on me than plain grey.
I avoided my mending for a while too, but once I picked it up, it went very quickly. Let us know how yours turns out!
❤️ Kim & Jonna
Oh my gosh I actually have that Kim Hargreaves book. I knit a skirt in it for my niece but don’t have plans to knit anything else from it so would have been willing to send it you and but sounds like you have it covered. Just funny because I don’t have a lot of knitting books and booklets so very random that I happen to have that one.
Wow! That is a coincidence. Luckily I have mine now and have already CO my granddaughter's sweater. 😘 Kim
My Dad lived with us for 18 months before he died at 93. I share in your frustrations, but after all is said and done , you would regret a day your dad was in your home.
All the best to both of you and to your families. Jonna, my father is turning 97 this year. We are lucky he is healthy and robust for that age. Also that he has my stepmother who is younger and can take care of him. I don't know how you do it! You too, Kim. I don't have grandchildren (yet, I say with hope), so I can't imagine having to pitch in like you are doing.
I wanted to mention that I do the same thing as Kim when someone in the family misplaces something. Actually, when my son was little, he loved Blue's Clues (the very original version of it). And in that, Steve, the main character, also does that! He had this little song -- "Go back go back go back, go back to where you were!" to help kids remember to trace their way back to that misplaced item! Isn't that great?
Also, I also bought yarn from PUES for two of the Isager Archives patterns! I also want to buy more yarn for the Nora, now that I've seen Karen's version -- I love her colors! Plus I want to knit Esther someday and haven't gotten the yarn for it yet -- love the color you chose, Jonna. That's the color I would want for it for sure! I bought yarn for the Aase and for the Gerda sweaters.
I'm so envious of the Arne and Carlos blanket Kim is knitting. Love it! I want to crochet it, but I'm still a beginner crocheter. I should just dive in and do it!
Hope things are getting better. Take care.
Hi Margaret,
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed comment! We love interacting with you and getting to know you better.
As for parents and grandchildren, we are trying to enjoy each stage although it definitely is difficult at times. We know that someday our parents won't be here and our grandchildren will be grown and living their own lives, so we're trying to cherish every moment.
We also want to buy ALL THE THINGS at PUES, but we both have to knit what we already have first... or until we just can't resist the temptation any longer. 😂
As for crochet, I was even less than a beginner when I started, but the Primrose Throw is so easy that I have been able to learn the few stitches and memorize them. Hopefully it will be finished by the time we film E27.
So go for it! Beginner or not, you won't regret it.
😘 Kim (& Jonna)
I do the same with my stitch markers: green for beginning, red for end and green for in between.
I used to know a Sylvie Boulanger from France, right at the border to spain. Would be so funny, if that was you! Maria
No me. I'm from Canada.@@mariawinter8634
Thanks for another fun episode. I’m wondering if you could give some suggestions on how you join the Oslo hat when you fold the brim. Kim’s suggestion about markers was very helpful. My problem is with the actual knitting of the stitches together. Is there a video you can suggest for this technique?
We’re pretty sure there is a video produced by PetiteKnit, but let us know if you have trouble finding it.
Another wonderful episode as always 🥰
Jonna, I do have a question about the Summer Lee Sock Project book, Does Summer cover knee high sock information? I am constantly on the look out for a interesting sock construction / technique book but most don't even mention them. Purchasing online with only a few preview pages, it has quickly become very disappointing and pricey. So I would love to know, cause I can hear Summer too 😄when I read those preview pages. Thank you
Your Italian trip sounds super exciting!! x
Kim, your flower blanket is so "you"! Azucena = lily
Jonna, I've been thinking of casting on a v-neck sweater, and I was debating between the Daily Pullover and the Dingley Dell. That's a good point you made about the neckline and the silk. Hmmm...
BTW, the Dutch woman working at the Stephen & Penelope shop in Amsterdam on Saturday also insisted that I was adding to my "collection", not my "stash". HA!
Hi Carmen,
I'm really hoping to finish my Primrose Throw in the next few weeks!!! I can't wait to move on and cast on a knitting project. 😂
As you already know, Jonna loves her Dingley Dell, and I love all V-necks.
And we all need to start using the word collection rather than stash, but I don't hide (stash) mine anyway. It's out and displayed in all of its glory in my room!!!
Love you tons! 😘 Kim (& Jonna)
I love my crystal stitch markers !
Yay!!!
I took a class with Joji at Magpie fibers in Frederick,Md, she is the kindest and most welcoming person. I’m sure you will enjoy and learn a lot.
She truly is. We can't wait!!!
I have an aunt Marion, aunt Maryanne, and aunt Marilyn LOL. It was hard as a kid to get it right!
Guessing they were all popular at the same time? 😂
Joann, your father must have had you later in life. Usually, a person in their 90s has a child who is 70ish. That's difficult because you don't have the energy or strength you had at 50 or 60..... I love the niche you fill in knit podcasts.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting. And he did. 😂
La Bien Aimee Corrie Worsted is actually DK weight.... It's worsted spun-- hence the name. 😻
😂 Really? My yarn/fiber ignorance is showing. Thank you so much for letting me know.
But it’s definitely a heavy DK or light worsted because it’s much thicker (heavier) than other DKs I’ve knit with. No?
😉 Kim
@@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna I figured out the yarn weight of the Corrie Worsted as I was creating the project page for a sweater.... AFTER I WAS DONE! 😂😂 Eh, DK and worsted are so close in weight that it doesn't make much difference. As long as you got gauge, then 🤷🏻♀️. 😻😻😻😻😻😻
@@emalahow Ahhh! That makes sense. And yes, I got gauge. 😂
I wrapped yarn around styrofoam to embellish a wreath
Maybe that’s what they did at Village Wool too. Hmmm… I really didn’t look that closely, but the wreath was lovely! ❤️ Kim
Wish I could subscribe twice! :)
😂 So do we!
Good work paying off your credit card Jonna 💪❤ and giving you a reward 🥰 are you following Dave Ramsey's debt snowball method?
Just trying to be responsible. 😂 Jonna
@@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna great job! I am debt free.
Could you please suggest a beginner V-neck T-shirt for someone I’ve seen many and they are just too many to choose from. I want something simple and V-neck short sleeve or no sleeve. Please advise. Desperate beginner.
Did you find one yet? We love Karen Altabef’s Tweed Tee and Isabell Kraemer’s Dingley Dell. Both have a few skills you might have to learn, but it’s all basically just knitting and purling.
Good luck! 😘 K&J
The sounds is wonderful…😄
Yay! Finally!
I never had a problem hearing either of you before the new equipment. Now I can hear Kim just fine, but Jonna sounded like she was talking on the phone, like in a tin can. I guess we can't win either way. :o(
Hmmm… Strange. It sounded fine during editing, but we’ll definitely look into it.
Thanks for your input! ❤️ K&J
It did resolve before the halfway mark, weird. @@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna
@@cjkathe Whew! Thank goodness! 😅
Please don't hate me but Quintanilla (in Spanish) is pronounced Keen-ta-neeya.
😂 No hate here. I assumed that while I was editing, but too late then. Oops! 😬
@@KnitTogetherwithKimJonnaLOL! But I wonder - how can it be wrong to share a pattern if the book is out of print? I didn't know that was an issue.
@@victoriaguerin2851 I’m not really sure, but I received my copy from the UK, so I don’t have to worry about it.
Also, I just watched Andrea of Fruity Knitting interview Claudia W und and she pronounces the end as you said but also the beginning without the “U” sound, but like this K I N T - aneeya. Which one is correct?
Either way, I’ll definitely have to correct my pronunciation in our next video. Once again, TYSM for letting me know! ❤️ Kim
@@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna Keen is correct; I speak Spanish.
🍎🍎🕊👋
hi from the uk ! can you please not say "handicapped" , can you use disabled instead please, "handicapped" is becoming more widely accepted as a slur, because its hurtful, sincerely a knitter and crochet-er who is disabled, Alex
Sorry about that. Don’t remember why we said it, but we’ll definitely avoid it in the future.
@@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna thank you xo
