Congratulations Ray on completing your BSN…👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎊…you deserve to feel proud! Hope you find a great MSN program…I completed my MSN in 1991 and it was a career changer for me. I’m retired now after working in hospitals for 48 years 😄. A wonderful and rewarding profession…bravo 🤩
Aww thank you so much! I’ve been so lucky with my work and I’m so excited to take the next step ❤️
Congratulations
I am a retired nurse educator (38 year), so I know what you have been going through in school. You will not regret all of the work you have done and I hope you continue to the MSN. The more education, the more doors will be open to you! Congratulations, Ray.
Thank you so much! I’m definitely motivated to keep going and hopefully will be in a program soon 😊
This episode should have been called: "Confessions of a Yarnaholic". Thanks for a great afternoon's watching while I knit and it rained outside. Congratulations Ray on finishing your BScN.
Haha 😂 you’re so right!! And thank you ❤️❤️
oh Kevin what a good alternative color choice. looks amazing.
Congrats Ray on completing your degree xx
Thanks Kathy!! ❤️❤️
Uncle Kevin, when dying do some mini skeins so Uncle Ray can put them in the blanket for y’all’s niece. 💕
This is a very cute idea 😊😊
On the actual knitting, get Ray, all casual, ‘ Yeah, I did a 2 colour tubular cast on’ 🤣 You are a proper knitter now for sure! And we’ll done Kevin trusting your gut about your colour choices, looking fab now! 😍
LmAo 🤣 thanks 😊 haha
🎉💗Congratulations, Ray! Yes, the post-school slump/depression is real. Love the newer colors, Kevin, on your sweater.
Thanks so much!! ❤️❤️
congratulations we r proud off you here comes corvette.
Haha 😂 thank you 😊
Congratulations, Ray! Your achievement deserves to be celebrated!
Your sweater is gorgeous and I think if you leave off the pocket, it will allow you to wear it dressier when you want. The pocket would give it a more casual look.
Thanks so much ❤️❤️ I totally agree about the pocket ❤️❤️
Ray, congrats on your BSN!!! That is such a huge accomplishment. This RN is damn proud of you!
Kevin, I literally gasped when I saw your colorwork yoke! I cannot wait to see how it turns out 💜
Thank you!!!
Guys, you both deserve champagne and a harp. Kevin, the new sweater colors are perfect. Ray, BSN !!!.
It's too early for pumpkin anything.
No pocket.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks so much! I dunno.. pumpkin season is yummy season 😂
The 2 of you are hilarious together. I love the interaction between you. Ray, congratulations on your degree!
Aww thanks so much! We love doing these and hanging out with you all ❤️❤️
Manx ‘luffton’ 👍🏻🐑 We are literally just inventing difficult to pronounce sheep to export to the US 😉🤣🤣🤣
Lol it’s working! 😂
Switching colors made the flowers really POP
Thank you, I’m much happy with the sweater now.
55:00 oh wow, Kevin! Those flowers are beautiful! ❤❤❤ now I am curious to see your progress, need to bingewatch on double speed 😆
Kevin, your joy over your new Once and Floral colors is palpable and a little contagious. Not to mention how beautiful it is. Stunning! And Ray, props for your BSN!!👏👏👏🎉
Aww thank you so much from both of us ❤️❤️
“I know you’re mocking me with your eyes” 🤣🤣🤣
Lol 😂
Omg guys-what to say about this episode? Congrats Ray on completing your BSN. Michael your sweater 😍😍, your yarn dying fades 😍😍. All the things you bought! Just everything! And a big thanks Michael for mentioning a salad spinner for getting the excess water out of washed knits in an earlier podcast. I bought one and used it after washing my hand knit socks. Works really well. Until next time!
Aww thanks so much Linda ❤️❤️
Hi guys! You are just what the doctor ordered this afternoon ❤️
Aww thanks! So happy we can hang out!
Tip on skunk I used Dawn dish soap on my German Shepherd & it came out perfect
Yes! Dawn is really really great for so many things ❤️❤️
Kevin, when you held the flower color work up, I gasped and said look at that! The dogs ran in looking around and jumped up to look out the window. WOW what a difference.
Thank you Sue!! Hi puppies 🐶
The smores bag is so darn CUTE! and all of the extra surprises in side. Congratulations on your BSN Ray! You both are so talented. Take Care!
Thank you Susie!
CONGRATULATIONS RAY!! 👨🎓🕺🎓😎 You did a great thing by sticking to it and finishing your degree. Way to go!!!
Thank you so much! I’m really happy to have finished 😊
CONGRATULATIONS RAY on completing your BSN in Nursing 🥳🍾🎈I am a retired RN after 39 years. I’ll never retire from knitting! Thanks for the knitting inspiration from the both of you. LOVE your podcast 🥰

Congratulations Ray!!! I don't know how you do all that you do. Work full-time, knit all you knit, read and go to school!
Aww thank you! I try to take breaks and luckily knitting is a way for me to unwind and escape from time to time ❤️
🌟🌟🌟 🏆🥇yay well done Ray - fabulous - congratulations and I bet your mum is mega proud of you. Fab, fab, fab and well done Kevin for being chosen 👏👏 double celebrations - now I will go and watch the rest of you.🌻
Thank you Jill!
Congratulations Ray on finishing your degree! It's a huge accomplishment! And, Kevin the fades you dyed are stunning!
Thank you 😊
Kevin those flowers look a billion times better!! Good on you for frogging all that work it really looks way nicer than the grey that you had before. 🏅 Ray Congratulations on the completion of your studies 🎺 🍾
Thanks so much Tessa ❤️❤️
Congratulations Ray on completing your BSN.
Fade names…Royals for the Blue, Outfield for the Green, Martini or crown for the gold, oriole for the orange. BTW…they are ALL gorgeous!
Thank you Lisa! Great color names too 😀
Congratulations Ray!!!! 🎉👏 - yes, buying yarn if an Olympic sport, I’m the current gold medalist. So love you guys and your updates, inspiration, and let’s be honest, the more unfocused and snarky, the better!
Haha 😂 we have just so much fun 🤩
Three cheers Ray for finishing your BSN...way to go! Congratulations, Kevin for making the excellent decisions on the flowers sweater & your color choices for the dyed yarn is beautiful, too! Wouldn't miss an episode just to see the interplay between you two! Your mother's are so proud of you, I'm certain! You make me laugh out loud! TA DA to another grand episode!
Thank you Jane!
Congratulations on finishing your degree!! Huge accomplishment! Grad school is a great idea and just jump in and you will be done in no time 🌺
Thank you! I’m hoping to start soonish ❤️
Congratulations Ray on completing your nursing degree. Another great visit, Kevin, your yarn fades are gorgeous and the once and floral is now perfect . Excellent bank breaking 😂😃
Thanks Dianna! We had such a fun time with this episode 😊❤️
Oh man, Kevin.... it is absolutely GORGEOUS. I cannot wait to see what you do with that beautiful yellow you were originally using for the flowers. That yarn was gorgeous but this one is working so much better for this project. I am OBSESSED!!
Aww thanks!! It’s so much fun and so happy with the changes ❤️
For the future, the best skunk off ever and highly recommended from vets (including me) (yes, don't bathe first): 1 pt H2O2, 1/4 cup baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon Dawn (is the best anti oil). Don't mix ahead, it foams like crazy. Use as shampoo (I do twice), then shampoo off. In vet school, I also checked with toxicogist and dermatologist and it's safe. Sorry (ugh!!!) but very glad he didn't swallow the spray --- it's deadly toxin.
Yes! This works!! Have had to do this several times - we live in the country.
@@Melmaz32 Yup, me too. Dad you had to use it, though.
Thank you soo much!! I get nervous with the peroxide and his dark fur though. Do you think it will be an issue?
@@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast nope. And I asked. Give a good solid "bath", let sit for a long as he can stand it (my kids averaged 2-3 minutes lol), then wash off with a gentle doggie shampoo. My kids are border collies, primarily black, and never had an issue.
Love it, “yarn buying is a sport”. And of course as we all know, practice makes perfect. Congratulations Ray on earning your BSN. That is great! Definitely worth a celebration! Thank you both for another great episode. You both make me smile and I love seeing all your projects.
Thank you!
“It’s mine now. Mind your business” is the T shirt we all need ;)
Lol that would be such a great tshirt.
🥳Congrats on getting your BSN🎉🎉🎉 The extra spending that Kevin is razzing you about is your Graduation gift to yourself.🤩
Lol yes!! I love how your mind works!! Haha 😆
Buying yarn, bags, and accessories does not make us weak, it makes us Rescuers! No skein left behind!
Haha I’m so stealing this!!! 😂❤️❤️
Drum roll for Ray - congrats!!! Loved the yarn colors. I always fear a skunk will be outside in our backyard when I
put the boys out at midnight or later or at 5:30 am. We have seen raccoons on the top of the fence. I can’t imagine that smell.
Thank you so much! And yes, the concentrated smell is really difficult to explain…yuck 😝😂❤️❤️
Kevin, those gradients are amazing! I think you may have found your specialty. Not everyone can dye good gradients but you sir definitely can!
Thank you Natalie!
And lest I forget, Kevin I love the redo on your sweater! The colors definitely pop this time. What a great tip to take a pic and put it in B/W mode. I can't wait to see the FO! 👏👏👏
Thanks so much!! Loving it so far!!
Congratulations Ray on completing your BSN!!! So outstanding! 🤸♂️🤸♂️🤸♂️ I’m a nurse am I’m too thrilled for you!
Thank you Veronica!
Congratulations Ray on completing your BSN degree! I love your sweater and Kevin’s Once and Floral is STUNNING! Your podcast is definitely one of my favorites for sure 😊
Thank you so much Beth!
The light effects on your hat are so interesting Ray!
On the outside, the darker blue is up so it gets more light and seems therefore lighter. The lighter blue is in the shadow and is therefore darker. So the two colors become more similar. On the inside the opposite happens so the contrast is actually enhanced.
Loved the video as always :)
Thanks 😊
🎺 ☆fanfare !!☆ 🎺
Congratulations on finishing your degree !! A hundred years ago l was doing home healthcare working with geriatric dementia & alzheimer pts so l know you put your heart in to your work !!
The Brooklyn tweed postcard is just gorgeous !!
Be well 🦋
Thanks Dori! And that patient population is so in need of good caregivers ❤️❤️
Congratulations Ray on completing your BSN! A great accomplishment. And Kevin I love your fade sets. Your dyeing is amazing. I enjoy your chanel so much!
Aww thank you so much ❤️❤️
Ray your sweater with the roses is gorgeous and you were right to change the colors to get the effect you wanted. If you enjoy the process of knitting and crocheting ripping out is just par for course to use a golf metaphor.
Ray congrats on getting your BSN! That's a huge accomplishment and doing it while working full time is even more difficult. Well done.
Kevin your color sense has always been Well elevated and now with a little more education your fades are stunning!!
By the way your stash has metastasized! Lol.
Stay safe and Thank you.
Thanks so much Julie! ❤️❤️
Kevin, your sweater looks SOOOO much better with the new colours! Love it!
Thank you so much! I’m really happy with it so far 😊
Kevin congratulations on getting your BSN and on that beautiful sweater, great color and fit. I just love you and Ray.
Thank you Kimberly!
Regardless of Kevin's ribbing you about them, those Christmas stockings won't take so long, Ray. I've knitted similar ones and the colorwork keeps you going. I'm rootin' for you!
Haha thank you!! ❤️
Congrats Ray on your BSN, great sweater and it looks greT without the pocket. Kevin that color work sweater is amazing, so sad that you had to rip it out, but it had to be done and please hold Ray's hand.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks so much Doris 😊
Congratulations Ray 👨🎓🍾
Aww thanks ❤️❤️
Raaaaaay!!! Congratulations! I'm so excited for you. I know you put a lot of hard work and maaaany long hours into this degree. Well done, for sure! I haven't even finished watching the episode, but had to pop over and say congrats! Woohoo! 🥳
Thank you Chelsea!
Your flowers on the sweater look amazing. Koodos to you for frogging it worth the time and effort
Thanks Becky, I’m really happy with the now.
Congratulations Ray completing your bonus 👏 🙌 Kevin your yarn dyeing is fantastic loving the colour blue my favourite 💙 and your jumper your knitting is gorgeous both keep u your amazing work I always look forward to your videos much love from England
aww thank you so much 😊 that means a lot to us ❤️😊
Famous last words. ‘I got it on sale”. Oh dear it is always nice to see another person who can’t help themselves😀
lol 😂 it’s so true!!
Kevin your sweater color changes are fantastic. Such a drastic change, and fabulous!
Thank you Stacey! I’m much happier with the colors now.
Congratulations Ray 🎊 on finishing school, awesome 👌, Kevin your yarns are beautiful, loved the blues, again another entertaining podcast
Thank you ❤️❤️
Congrats Ray on finishing your Rn. I really like your simple sweater. I am trying to be more mindful about knitting things I will actually wear a lot. Kevin, the new colors of your once and floral are fabulous. It is a good reminder to not be afraid to rip out and change things to get something that really suits us.
Thank you so much! It’s definitely a lot of anxiety ripping out but so worth it most of the time ❤️❤️
Congrats on finishing your BSN Ray! It IS a big deal……thanks for your service too. Kevin, I sensed you were going to rip out last episode, great decision!! The flowers look amazing now. Love all your purchases too, thanks for hanging out.
Aww thanks Susie! Happiness all around ❤️❤️
Well done Ray. Like you, I worked full time while doing my BSN and my Master’s. You’ll love the Master’s. So much more fun and freeing then the BSN! And thank you for staying in nursing. Such difficult, yet rewarding work!
That’s what I hear! I LmAo looking forward to strictly nursing classes now 😊
Beautiful knitting, crochet, and dyeing you guys! Thanks for sharing 👍. I always look forward to seeing your podcast. Have a great week!
Thank you so much ❤️❤️
Kevin, great example of the difference your yarn choice and color makes. It’s perfect. Congrats Ray on your BSN! I remember how hard it was to work full-time and go to school. I hope your MSN goes smoothly. The So Basic is a great fit. Deborah in Florida
Thanks so much Deborah ❤️❤️
Congratulations Ray!!! No pocket on you sweater. Kevin, I love your fades.
Thank you Marie!
I get such a kick outta each podcast! Laugh out loud funny! Kevin, my grandparents had little Bayer aspirin tablet tins I would play w when I was little, also, in the 80’s they came back with lip gloss slidey lid tin things too! So much fun!
Thank you Nikki! I wonder if that is where I remember the tins from.
Congratulations Ray on your bachelor degree. You already had my utmost respect for being a nurse. What would this world be without them love you guys. Gloria from colorado
Aww Gloria! Thank you so much! That really means to world to me ❤️❤️
YOU GUYS…. as ever, always awesome. Thanks, I needed you today. 😀💕
Aww thanks! Glad we could be there for you and hopefully bring some joy to your day ❤️❤️
Congratulations Ray! You should be so proud of yourself!
Aww thank you so much ❤️❤️
Thanks for sharing your haul! That bag from the yarn crawl has so many uses and it is cute with the red/pink handles. On my screen it looks red but not sure. Kevin those fades are all so lovely! See you in two weeks!
Thanks so much! It’s almost a reddish pink but love the size of them 😊
Love you guys. Congrats Ray on your hard work. If I was in the hospital I would love to have you as my nurse. Perfect job for you.
Aww thanks Susan, that means a lot to me ❤️
Take it from someone who has gone back to school multiple times....Ray completing you BSN is something to celebrate! Congratulations!!!!! I'll just have to drink to that since I can't buy you one. Kevin I am so glad you decided to change the colorwork on your sweater. I could tell you weren't feeling it but its so difficult to start over after so much work. Your new color choice is absolutely beautiful. ( I may just steal it). Kudos to you for following your gut! The two of you are so fun to watch. Different personalities that fit together perfectly. Oh, Kevin your fade colors are the best! Hope you continue to add more. Take care both of you and see you next time!
Aww thanks so much!! We absolutely love doing these and getting the chance to hang out with you all! ❤️❤️
Oh my gosh what a really fun episode. First congratulations Ray on finishing your degree and very wise to start the next step soon. Loved having all the yarn I’ve goodness in one episode. Its funny how a casual comment takes on a life of its own 😂 especially in the moment. Have a great two weeks.
Thank you so very much! We have so much fun doing these and getting to hang out with you all ❤️❤️
Ray…. Here you go … 🎺 🍾
(Seriously though, congratulations!! That’s a HUGE accomplishment. You should be very proud!)
Thank you Cheryl!
I love all the explanations and your discussion working through your ideas. Your Once and Floral is so fabulous! Congrats on finishing school! What a great accomplishment.
Thanks so much ❤️❤️
A BSN and a finished fingering weight sweater?! Damn! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Haha right?! Where’s my harp?! 😂❤️
CONGRATULATIONS Ray on finishing your degree !! Celebrate YOU !!
Thank you so much ❤️😂
Kevin, you made the right choice. That sweater is going to be gorgeous!
Thanks, I definitely like these color much more.
Completing your degree is a Big Deal and you should be proud! To do it while working, maintaining a UA-cam channel, and having a life is very impressive. I do remember that feeling of "is that all there is" when I completed my degree. It does feel weird that the last assignment or test signals the completion of all that work. Congratulations!
Thanks so much! Totally agree but I’m so happy it’s done! Lol 😂
Congratulations on completing your BSN, Ray!!! That's so exciting!! 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you ❤️❤️
I’m so happy you reunited the roses on your sweater. I didn’t like the lack of contrast before, but didn’t want to say anything because it was your sweater not mine. Really like it now.
Thank you Doris! I’m much happier with the color for the roses.
Thanks for another great catch up. I really appreciate the time you give to us. Congratulations Ray! A wonderful achievement. Thanks also for the book ideas and the amazing yarn and goodies you shared. Ray, love your sweater and Kevin, that yoke pattern with the flowers is gorgeous! ❤
aww thank you!! We have so much fun sharing and getting to hang out with you all ❤️❤️
Happy you like the 80s bags! 😊 I have that notions case too and love it!! The big compartment is a great place for a tapestry needle as well!
Love them!!
Thanks Kevin and Ray for ur help on utube I used to knit but with pin in my hands I had to stop but watching u an seeing u use the round needles I thought I would give them a try an I can now knit again without pain I love ur podcasts only been watching since no 68 I love u both x
Aww thanks Linda!! So glad you are able to get back to it!! That makes our hearts very happy 😊😊
Congrats on your BSN Ray! I got mIne at age 52-best decision ever! Give yourself a hug and enjoy this accomplishment!
Thank you Joan!
Ray, congrats on completing your degree. A great accomplishment. I am a diploma nurse now retired after 42 years of working as a bedside nurse in many different areas. Nursing is very interesting as well as rewarding. My daughter is now in nursing school so I had someone to pass my stethoscope on to.
Aww that’s so sweet! Thank you so much for your years at the bedside! Your patients and their families are so grateful, I’m sure! Sending lots of hugs your way! 🥰🥰
Congratulations, Ray!! My sister is a nurse so I have a little bit of an idea of what a huge accomplishment this is. Thank you for all that you do!!
Thank you Lisa 😀
Congratulations Ray on completing your BSN degree! Kevin love your color choices on your Max colorwork flower sweater, can't wait to see it finished! I love your dyed yarn, especially the blue fade collection as well as your others. Keep up the good work boys.....always look forward to your episodes.
Thank you Kristen!
Thank You for another great show for me to watch , while knitting. Currently working on the Tyntesfield top by Mary Henderson for The Wooley Thistle sweater KAL. Ray congratulations on your BSN! Ray your sweater came out so very nice. Kevin having to rip out and redo color work is painful, but it is usually, as in this case, for the best. This sweater is going to be a stunner! Aw, getting sprayed by skunks is never fun, for anybody! Once upon a time, both of our dogs got sprayed, even after washing neither one would sleep next to the other or even get close to each other.
I’m doing that KAL too!!
Aww lol poor little ones!! That had to be difficult for sure!! ❤️❤️
Hi, guys from Oregon! So glad to see you today 🧶. My Le Pouf cardigan in Kevin’s beautiful green “Druid’s Grove” yarn is on hold until the weather cools. I’ve finished the bottom edge ribbing and have one ribbed cuff and half of the other cuff, but with the heat, it was like sitting under a blanket! Congratulations, Ray, for your completing your classes! Pat yourself on the back! Keep on keepin’ on….👍🥰👍
Thanks Mary! Can’t wait to see your project when the cooler weather comes through 😊
OMG those fades are amazing!!!! I loved the first and then when I saw the greens I about died. goodness you did a great job.
Thank you so much Nik!
Hi again from Dublin, sorry to have missed the live. Love you guys
Hi Beatrice! Thank you for watching and commenting, we really appreciate it.
Kevin, fantastic job on the sweater . It looks amazing . Good on you!!
Thanks Diana 😊
Kevin, great choice to switch out the yarn for your sweater. It looks awesome!
Thank you Hollie! I’m much happier with the sweater now.
Happy Sunday…so glad to see you on this rainy afternoon…👋🏻🧶💗
Thanks so much for hanging out with us ❤️❤️
Congrats Ray! That sweater looks amazing Kevin! Come on Ray you can get those stockings done for this year 😂 I remember those slide containers with chapstick inside.
Thank you Jeni!
This old retired RN is so proud of you . Thinking I’ll have a wine spritzer in your honor. Only another nurse and maybe a spouse get how amazing this accomplishment is. Add a pocket , it draws attention to your manly chest. This old lesbian loves her handsome brothers.
Haha omg I love this!! Thanks for the giggle ❤️❤️
Thanks for a fun 2 hrs. I chuckled most of the way thru this episode. Ray congrats 🎉 on your BSN. Kevin your sweater is awesome- can’t wait to it it complete. I did stop and go to your store and make a purchase. Can’t wait. Now go feed Ray.
Thank you Debby!
