    Hysterical. So many thanks. Hangry??? I cannot imagine Ray anything other than sweet. The absolute bewilderment about the burgundy yarn , on Ray’s face was priceless.

    Oh y’all. I laughed so hard!! First at Kevin not being able to keep a straight face with Arne and Carlos balls and then right into the demon red eyed gnome (that’s still adorable). Thanks for a wonderful podcast. Hugs from Florida. Sorry for sending that hot weather up there (hurricane Nicole remnants I would assume). 😀

    Your slightly demonic Santa Claus and sad Jack Frost go so well together 😂😂😂 maybe that's why Jack Frost is sad? Because his pal Santa's got possessed? Jokes aside, they both turned out adorable, and I love the little mouse as well. Just sew him onto your shoulder and have him in every podcast! This episode made me laugh a ton, and your FO's and WIP's are lovely. I've been planning to crochet some Christmas ornaments so this really got me in the mood

    35:57 Ray, your felted toys are adorable! You've got true talent for sculpturing. I used to make felted toys before, until I made a bunny fridge magne, which terrified my kids so much that they were scared to go into the kitchen. I had to hide it and never felt a toy since 😂

    Really enjoyed this episode, too! Like many others, I just laughed till I cried... sometimes, it hits that funny bone and I can't stop! (Arne and Carlos balls ... reminded me of the time we were invited to a buffet hosted by Finland's post office. They had "reindeer balls" and I couldn't help but ask what they did with the rest of the reindeer and my host fell over laughing ; )
    Have fun in the coming weeks and I look forward to your next episode!

    I watch you two do the Stephen West thing every year, and every year Kevin blows everyone away with his color choices. Some people just have the knack. I'm very resistant to buying yarn right now, but the colors you showed from Seven Sisters have me visiting their website. I'm so jealous of Ray's lined hat. I would love to find a pattern with instructions for knitting a hat and lining it with fleece or faux fur. I'm not naturally skilled at that kind of stuff!

    • @NeedlesattheReadyPodcast

      Hi Dawn! The yarn from Sever Sisters is beautiful. We are definitely not skilled at sewing, we wouldn’t be able to line a hat either.

    Yay the guys are back - a delight to see you here and find out what you have been doing and spending! It has been so warm in the Lake District this weekend. Silly temperatures. So at least it is not just in England. Laughed so much “ everything is brown” - that is apart from the red eyes 🙈😂😂. Yes Ray, they do look red. But also look lovely. It’s just such a delight to here all your updates etc. love the knits and felty stuff. Have a super two weeks and see you soon 🧶

    Ahhhh...red eyes, grab your sharpie! Hello from cold central TX. At 9pm it is 49*.we normally do not get cold weather until after the first of the year. Just to orient you as to my location we are 100 miles north of Houston. I very much enjoy your banter. I am impressed with all you get accomplished.
    Do you all do much dropping down stitches when you find an error. I am notorious for doing that as well as frogging at the drop of a hat.
    Have a good week.

    I would take out the avocado toast on the sleeve then continue with sidewalk chalk to do largeish stripe starting at about the point you are currently with the avocado toast or start a fade in that same place, if that makes sense. ❤️So cute by the way.

    HI guys, just popping in here to say - great podcast. Kevin your cabled sweater is gorgeous (you mentioned your stitches were smaller so you went down a needle size but I’m guessing they were bigger so you went down) You said this was your most ambitious project, might I recommend a damp block on the needles to see how much your cables stretch before going too much further. Maybe you’ve got more experience with cabled sweaters but as you know, cables pull in a lot and when blocking they can grow a lot depending on their size; so a try on/measure is always good to do before getting too far down the road. Also I would love to gift you guys a set of several patterns to give away on the podcast. Will get in touch via email or text.
    After watching, the next video that popped up was your Episode 4 and my what babies you were, I let it play for a few minutes and you were talking about having 41 subscribers and jumping up to 87 subs and how exciting that was. Well, look at you now! Cori

      Hi friend!! What a great idea with the cables! You’re totally right and it’s such a lot of knitting that it would be really crappy if things got all wonky 😬
      Yes, let’s chat! That’s super sweet of you and you totally don’t have to! We love everything you do and when we watch, we completely feel like we are hanging out with a dear friend! ❤️❤️

    The unnamed yarn reminds me of stormy weather.
    Judgy McJudgy pants, had me crying. You two really made me smile a lot today, always good.
    Love all the acquisitions. I never apologize for my yarn purchases...if I'm happy everyone around me is happy😁
    Why no superwash garments? Something I should know?
