The real appeal for me is that it is obvious that you two really like one another. Knitting contents is just icing on a super moist plump cake!!!!
Lmao 😂 I love this!! Thank you 😊
You should totally call your yarn dyeing portion of the podcast ‘potions class’! Keeping with the HP theme!
Love this!! Thanks Emily :-)
I had the same idea!!
I would LOVE a zoom meet up with you guys💖 unfortunately I don't meet the guy criteria😂so a general one too would be great
I agree! A general would be awesome 😀
Me too! I said that last podcast, I wish I was a male so I could join but, a general would be awesome.
Me too, maybe we can dress in drag 🤷♀️😁😜🤣
We’re going to see how this goes. We’d love to get something going for everyone too 🥰🥰
Agreed. Criteria not met. Will hang tight and wait.
Another great episode! As you were talking about your men's only knit night - I was thinking a way you could manage would be to do break out rooms in zoom. This way you could put a manageable group of people in each room to facilitate conversation- but no one is excluded (which would be a shame!) and you could still have it at the same day/time. It could then be an option for you (the hosts) to rotate through the rooms so everyone gets some facetime with you 😊 I teach at a University so I use this feature a lot. Good luck with it! Love you guys - thanks for doing your podcast and all the work that goes into it 🥰
Yes! I’ve been to a knit night that worked like this and it was great 😁 The hosts rotated between rooms 👍🏻
This is a great idea!! Had no idea we could do that 🥰🥰
Omg I'm 😂🤣😂
I don't know why but I absolutely love when you do "9 inch circulars" Ray
Now I can enjoy the rest of the podcast.
😁😁😁
Lol 😂 I guess I should cast on another pair of socks then 🥳
Ray satisfied my ASMR needs with the coupon codes!
@@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast absolutely cast on another pair of socks & use "9 inch circulars" 😂🤣😂
Every time he does it, it empowers and legitimizes those of us who also make socks with "9 inch circulars" (insert evil laugh here)
That blueberry tea colourway is dynamite. I've discovered project pages in the last year and I love them because it seems like the best way to keep track of stuff which I can then refer back to. My memory cells only hold onto info as long as I'm working on a project. You're always showcasing interesting project inspirations, thank you!
Aww thanks so much!! Since I (Ray) started using project bags, I find that I ALWAYS have to be using one lol 😂
Very excited about the men's knit night. I didn't know how to choose day or evening on the form so I'll send an email. Always so good to see your creations, yarns, and your dyed yarns. All wonderful! I love the yarn you inspired, Ray. And the shawl with the color you dyed Kevin is wonderful. The water and driftwood yarn and the mint martini yarns are gorgeous. Gotta stop gushing. Everything is beautiful! Best wishes!
Aww Thanks Mike! We got your email so thank you for that :-). It's helpful to get the feedback
My longest WIP .....a pullover sweater. Yarn was purchased about 20 years ago when our one and only yarn shop was having a going out of business sale. Have a wonderful week! 😀
Thanks Sharon!! Wow that’s a long time to be on time out! Lol 😂
Binge-watching you guys. When Kevin laid out the colors for the shawl he is wearing, I thought it was kinda fugly. Now when I see it on, it's positively stunning. I am hoping your talent for putting colors together rubs off on me. Your work is inspiring. Thank you.
Thank you! It has become my most worn shawl. One of my other favorite color combos are the yarns I used for slipstravagnza.
Ray, LOVE your chaotic WIP! And, Kevin, such an outstanding dye you did on that yarn you’re making your Paris shawl with.
Thank you Stephanie!
My longest standing wip is a baby blanket I started for my daughter who has just turned 20 so am gonna finish it for her second baby which is due 4th July
Oh how exciting!!! Love this, Lynne 🥰
The blanket yarn is called Cover Story. I too bought some and made a blanket with it. The dog loves it, I’m not a fan. And it’s all Ray’s fault that I made it. Kevin your Paris Tujours is frickin amazing! I love the color of that yarn, I would buy it in a heartbeat! That pattern has been in my favorites forever.
Thank you Cathy!
Kevin, if you ever want to dye up more of that blue/gray yarn I will buy some!!! It is just gorgeous, love the color. That shawl will be beautiful.
Thank you KJ.
I'm so impressed with your dyeing skills Kevin...and you've only just begun! I attended a trunk show in Mt. Vernon, Ohio at The Makery who was hosting Tina's Twisted Fibers. I purchased a skein of Rusted Steel, 100% SW Merino worsted weight and am so impressed with the vibrancy of the colors. I feel I'm portioning out my knitting time with it so I can make the experience last...weird, I know. Thanks so much for your podcast!
Hi Chris! Thank you so much for watching and commenting. Totally get portioning out yarns, there are a few that I was so sad to stop working with because I love them so much. - K
I’m in hospital with Covid, week 2. Now starting to feel human and have energy to watch you now. You 2 are a big help, just to listen to
Aww I’m so sorry to hear this! Hopefully you feel better soon!! Lots of hugs 🤗
I can't get over the colors in your shawl, Ray. So great. Love your podcast.
Thank you Marcia!
Kevin, I LOVE your steel blue yarn! It's looks fantastic in that shawl!
Thanks so much, Amber 🥰
Watching your podcast really brightens my day!!! Love you guys!!
Awesome! Thank you Kori!
Time to open a yarn shop, Kevin! You did a awesome job! Your dyed yarn looks as great as the ones Ray and you showcased. 👍👍👍
Aww thank you!! Still learning so much but it’s been a lot of fun 🤩
I've fairly new following you guys. So impressed! Been part of the men's knitting community for eight years now. Attend a couple of the men's knitting retreats. Learning so much from you both! Boozie Bears are close friends of mine, and they connected me to your channel. Sorry I missed the live show last week. Hope to get to next one. Thanks for lifting my spirit and teachng me so much!
Thanks so much and welcome!!! Glad you stopped by ❤️❤️
Love the socks! Wow, both of your sweaters are looking fabulous. I love the SW shawl, he does a great tutorial on the honeycomb pattern ❤️🇨🇦
Thank you Doris.
Love the socks. I prefer the 9 inch needle too, usually from top. I don't want to do fancy socks, just beautifully knitted with gorgeous yarns, I'm still working on the beautifully knitted part. But with the 9 inch method, it's easy to take along--not that I leave the house any more, but it's the principle of the thing. I like the Allegria yarn. Longest languishing (right word--implies neglect) WIP was a sweater for toddler grandchild. She's 23 now and I finished it--for another child, obviously--last year. There were a number of target recipients through the years.
I agree with the portability of the sock on a 9 inch. It’s also great when the dog decides to spread out on your lap lol 😂
wow Ray!! LOVE the shawl your making with the advent skeins! its like abstract art! very very cool!
Thanks Rose! It’s really fun. I haven’t gotten much done these past two weeks but it’ll be my focus soon 🥰
Guys you are a thrill to watch. I love the scarf to start for the Fall. Keep it real with the doggy. I have heard children to constructions that remind me how bless I am when I am entertained and educated at the same time. I love that large bag. Both of your sweaters are amazing. You two have the most soothing voices and so complimentary to each other. I am a beginner and watch for motivation and inspiration. Living in Maryland we have cold winters also, but not quite like Connecticut . Definitely you win hands down on the weather. No pressure, love it. Scheduling ahead means by Fall I will have so special gifts for my adult sons and grandson a teenager.
Hi Bernadette! Thank you for all the kind words.
Tarquin just wanted to be part of the show today I love it when Ray does the microphone closeup.you two made my day thank you
I laughed so hard
Lol he totally wanted to be part of the show haha 😂
I don't mind dead space with no conversation, especially with you two handsome guys to look at. I love that you charge ahead into patterns and just do it. I think I said it before but you inspire me to try the hard patterns too.
Thank you Andrea!!
Good seeing you guys. Your sweaters are fantastic. Can’t wait to see them done. I’m loving your bright shawl Ray. I just finished a Joji shawl that has been on the needles since 2017. During last Thursday’s knit night I finished binding a quilt that has been languishing since 2019. So much more waiting to be completed.
It was funny to hear a big bark from such a little dog.😂
Thank friend! He does have such a big bark! It’s funny when they think they are bigger a d badder than they really are haha 😂
Both sweaters are beautiful.kevin your yarn is knitting up so beautiful
Thank you Y!
Hello gentle men. 😃 Sitting with you two while you chat and I knit, is a really nice way to spend an hour or so. I started watching a year ago and I haven’t missed an episode. I really do enjoy your company! 😊. I’ve also started buying, and look forward to knitting, Steven West patterns, thanks to you two and have gotten great inspiration for others.
I live about an hour from Stratford Ont, and if I’m not mistaken, did you not joke about moving to Canada...to Stratford for fun? I say yes!! 😂 👍Id love to start a knit club with you. I don’t have a computer so I sadly can’t join in your live episodes. (Sorry for the rambling. I live alone.). 🤪haha. 😩. So...Kevin, the blue wool that you dyed. I LOVE it. I don’t know if your planning on selling it at some time, but if not, could you tell me how you got that colour? Or give me an idea? I’ve only dyed one skein, so I have no experience and really don’t know where to start to achieve such a pretty shade. Maybe you started with grey? I understand if you don’t want to share your recipe, it’s totally cool, but i had to ask. Stay safe guys! See you in two weeks.
Yes!! Get the neighborhood ready!! Lol 😂 I experimented a little with blue and black to get that color. It leans a little blue grey but I’m happy with the result 🥰🥰
I love you guys. Don't know if this counts as a WIP but in 1973ish my grandma was teaching me how to knit and I started a scarf. Never finished and it was sucked into a black hole. That's the last thing I knitted. Becuz of you and the crazy sock lady, I have ordered a ton load of sock yarn and the tools I need to learn "again" how to knit. I ordered a "Nine Inch Circular Needle " 😆
Yes!!! It totally does count!! That’s amazing that you still have it 🥰🥰🥰
The “Ray” skein is so bright and sunny like yourself. Next is Kevin....Earth tones...Bless you
:)
That shawl you are making looks beautiful with that grey/blue yarn you created! Love it!
Thank you so much!! I’m excited to see it finished 🥰
You two crack me up! I won't tell you how many WIPS I have! I get bored really easy! Have a great day!
Thank you! You too!
Oh my gosh my sides hurt from laughing. You two make such a great team and an enjoyable podcast to watch. I do have to side with Ray about getting creeped out by real events and not wanting to watch, read or hear about such things. Thanks for keeping me company while I knit.
Glad you enjoyed it Sharon!
Great podcast guys 😊 Ray so glad u had your sock head slouch on today - I'm currently knitting it and was just trying to convince myself I didn't need to do 4 inches of ribbing - then saw yours and thought yeh I do cause it looks great! Your jumpers are looking fab guys and Kevin Omg your yarn is gorgeous!
Thanks soo much!! The ribbing is definitely rough to get through but totally worth it ❤️❤️
Hey guys ! Great to see you today. Your Montrealer’s are so good. I am inspired to make one even though I already have a sweater on the go ( an Arne and Carlos color work sweater.) I have been doing some dyeing as well - so.much.fun ! I am loving the colors in your Painted Honeycombs Shawl, Ray. Gorgeous. It is a very exciting day at my house as I got 6 new baby chicks today. I already have 28 chickens in my coop outside , I believe I already told you. The babies are so sweet and a lot of fun to raise. Thank you for another great episode full of great content. Love you bunches - Julie from Indiana
Hi Julie!! How fun 🤩 Baby chicks are soo cute 🥰 We would love to see pictures 🥰
We love you guys! So talented, handsome and creative!
Aww thank you so much!! We love doing this and appreciate it so much 🥰
Oooooh, the idea of adding just a bit of the Orange to the pocket edge on the Montrealer is genius, Kevin!
I've started adding it and am really happy with the way it is turning out.
Ray, your minis would look great with a neutral framing the honeycombs. I love that pattern and technique. How fun!
Totally agree Sue.
Guys, I love your sweaters and the colors are great.
Ray, love,love, love that Steven West shawl your working on, it is funkalicous!!
Thank you!!! I love that word!!! Funkalicous!!! Yes 🙌
Ray reading the coupon codes reminded me of calling BINGO numbers😝That steely blue color is FAB! I love all your dyeing. Wow....that Ray colorway😱 Ray! She looks just like her sisters🤣
Thank you Chevas!
Thanks for another great podcast, guys! KEVIN- when are you going to open up a yarn shop?!! Those are incredible! 🤗
Haha we might try a little something very soon 🥰
Hey You Guys!! You two are my happy drug of choice. Keep it coming. Every week. Ten times a week! It's impossible to overdose.
Kevin: Great work on the dying. Love the two with blue, my favorite color. Great idea of just a strip on orange on the pocket, it will be perfect for an accent in a small area, since it is such a powerful color.
Ray: Your word of the week is EXUBERANCE. The RAY colorway - exuberant! Kind of like a Tiger Eye stone, but with additional flashes of color. The Honeycomb shawl - exuberant. Like capturing Chaos, but letting it stay wild at the same time.
Au revoir, mes beaux garçons!
Aww thank you so much!! We love seeing your comments and appreciate you coming back 🥰 we’re glad we can help bring some sunshine ☀️
Finding Driftwood is the right name and both dyes are lovely
Thanks so much 🥰🥰
I’m thrilled to hear you guys are doing an all men’s knit might! Good on you for taking your mission to embrace males into the knitting community! 🥰
I just finished the mini-Montrealer! Whew! 🤪 That was a lot of knitting! I got lazy and do not do the ribbing on the pocket, just tacked it down. for me, the stripes blend into the sweater better. I did the Paris Toujours shawl, loved it! Kevin, ur yarn is perfect for that project!!🤗👍
As to answer your question; my longest WIP, it’s been soooo long, I think it was started sometime between 2004-2006! 🤦🏽♀️ I don’t even know, but they are Latvian Wedding Socks, if ur interested look them up in ravelry. But they’re complete fair isle, I have 1 1/2done! Sooooo close, not sure why it’s not done. 🤷🏻♀️ They are a piece of art!
Thanks for enabling! Off the check out Moonlight Yarns!
Wow what a cool sock pattern!! They really look like a piece of art! It would be so awesome to finish them 🥰🥰
Kevin that yarn dying is fabulist love it x x
Thanks 😊
Two great show projects going. polar opposites of each other! Also love your daddy Yarns. Beautiful. Will be interesting to see how they knit.
Shawl projects.
You're so right, definitely different and so much fun to knit up :-)
Wow! All the knits are beautiful! Oh, and thanks for the book recommendation, The Whisper Man. I read it in two evenings! Really well thought out. Take care, stay safe ♥️
Thank you Donna! Glad to hear that you enjoyed The Whisper Man.
hello, boys! great episode as always!i love how Tarquin keeps you two in line!both your Montrealers look fabulous, Ray how great is it to get a colorway named after you and it's a beauty too! Kevin , your yarn dyeing is just gorgeous, making me hopeful i will get to dye yarn with my GDs this Summer, i missed it so much last year, i could dye alone, but it isnt as much fun as seeing what they come up with colorwise, Ray, you are such a good son making you rMom a hat & cowl, it looks great! you two stay well, dont work too hard, see you in a fortnight! ♥
Thanks Lynn!! We really appreciate the comments 🥰 What a fun activity to do with your GDs!! Love it 😍
Thanks for the knitting cart idea, got mine from Amazon this week. Love it already. Originally from CT, love your podcast.
Yay! Thank you!
!!!!!!! Loved this! Kevin! What a gorgeous FO. I'm envious. You did great, love those colors on you. We can hear Tarquin. 😂 (I probably spelt that wrong.)
Thanks so much!! And you totally got the spelling right :-)
Y’all have me truly LOL. Kevin I love your Montreal sweater!!! Scarf is beautiful 😻
Ray’s hat is so cute love the oyster color stripe added in his sweater 👍🏻🧶🧶🥰
The DK dyed yarn is lovely Kevin!!
Loved Wandavision!!!
Thanks Debbie!! We had fun with this one 🥰🥰
Another great podcast guys! Right before Christmas, I finished my oldest whip. I started a crocheted afghan in 1976 to match a new couch. My daughter, born in 1983, saw me working on it and loved the "vintage" look and colors (it was cream, rust, and brown in a chevron pattern). So, guess what she got for Christmas??🤣🤣
Aww that’s so cute actually, love it!!! ❤️❤️
I also made a chevron afghan in the 70's and I used those same colors!!
@@judyb8265 It was a 70's thing...LOL
My oldest WIPs, unless there's something else I can't remember, are a crochet lap blanket, a crochet cardigan, and a knit sweater, all started in 2008. My youngest kid was born in 2009, so that's the main reason they were packed away for a long time!
Oh Lucy, how fun would it be to pull one out again and turn it into a gift for your kid!! Love this :-)
Both look gleamy. Visual preparation is spot on. Smooth skin tones is quite pro! Both of you are very eye candyish. As good performers should be.
Aww thanks. Our lighting was pretty good since it wasn’t super sunny ☀️
Love the results of your ‘dye adventures’ Kevin! Ray, your Stephen West Honeycomb shawl will be amazing in those colors! Sooo cool! I’m inspired to do the same thing from my stash. French subtitles 🤣. Years ago my husband and I were watching a movie on a DVD that kept jumping scenes. We totally talked ourselves into it being on purpose. Not! Just a damaged DVD. 😏
Haha 😆 we totally were doing the same thing!
lovely colours in your dyed yarn, x
Thanks Alma!! 🥰🥰
Thanks for another great podcast. Enjoy the yarns and patterns and thanks for the coupon codes! I can always use more "yarnie" items!
I just finished season one of "Tell Me Your Secrets" on Amazon.................really well done! 10 episodes and I did it in a weekend it was THAT good. Creepy and suspenseful.
Hi Susie - Thank you for watching and commenting. Thank you for the suggestion, we will add that show to our list.
My WIP that stayed a WIP the longest is my Tetris Baby Blanket. Took me 11 years. Started as a practice project (co, knit, purl, bo) ended up as a TV blanket for my youngest kid :'D Not proud of that but proud of the FO !
Awesome that you finished it!
Hello Kevin and Ray. I love you guys. Your projects are beautiful and you give me so much motivation
Thank you so much Karen!!
You two inspire me to knit more. Thanks for that and for your fun podcast 😊
Aww thanks so much! Glad we can help bring you some inspiration 🥰🥰
I always have so much to comment on in the beginning of your podcast, but don’t want to start so I can watch the show on my iPad, sooooo, Kevin, where have I been not seeing your shawl? I added it to my favorites. You are really getting so good with your yarn dyeing ❣️ Ray, love your Montrealer. I’ve read all the Maximum Ride books and truly loved all of them. I can’t wait to start my Court of ? Series. Love y’all- Maureen
Aww thanks so much Maureen!! We love you too 🥰🥰 let me know what you think when you start the series 😊
I just started making a painted honeycombs shawl myself. I however am only doing mine in two colors loving the pattern though. Can’t wait to see what yours looks like when it’s all done!!
A two color shawl is going to look amazing!
Kevin that ray gets so cheeky with you
Hahaha 🤣
Your dyed yarn looks great - almost looks silver. Gorgeous.
Thanks Darlene! It’s so much fun to try things out and see how they come together 🥰🥰
Another enjoyable episode. I just LOVE the six club skeins you showed from Amanda Knits.
Thanks Sue!! Yes she did such a great job! We love them all 🥰🥰
Hi guys, fun podcast.
Kevin, your colours are fabulous!
Glad you enjoyed it Lucie!
Ray your honeycomb shawl is AMAZING 😻- I also would never have put all that together but it looks incredible.
Oh thank you!
Love the sock head slouch May have to knit this up for the hubster! Hugs from Virginia
Thanks Sara! I love the pattern and it’s a perfect way to use up some of those really cool skeins 🥰🥰
Longest WIP is a cardigan for hubby... on the needles since Oct 2018... but I've only been knitting since late July 2018...
Awesome! What pattern are you using? I'm looking for a cardigan pattern now :-)
“Potions Club” for dye section of the podcast?
YES
I was thinking "Potions Class", haha. GMTA.
Loved this Bee!! Such a great idea 🥰
Those Harry Potter dragon yarns... Are Gorgeous!!! I want them all and I'm jealous you have them.
Agreed! She really hit it out of the park. They definitely call for a special project :-)
LOVE the yarns you have dyed, Kevin! Ray, you have inspired me to want to knit a Montrealer for my son in the exact colors of yours because he has green eyes and those shades would be amazing on him. Also, he deserves a sweater, I guess, since I have knit one for each of his four sisters. (Although a cropped, cap-sleeved Ranunculus, which is what I knit for his sisters, is a MUCH quicker knit, but not quite his style!) Oldest WIP for me would be the sweater I cast on about 38 years ago for my 41 year old daughter...I'd thought to maybe finish it for HER daughter, but that child is already ten and much too tall for the size Four I'd been knitting...
Finally!! somebody in my league of WIP ages. I'm sure I have some from the 1980's or maybe late 1970's...
Hi Janet! Thank you so much for watching. You should give the Montrealer a go, it is a really great pattern.
I just love your charming selves. Besos y abrazos!
Aww thanks so much 🥰🥰
3 things: What is the yarn above/behind ray that's got the blackish coral pinkish hues going on. it keeps catching my eye! When you started hand dying yarn did you find that the feel of the yarn changed from when you received the undyed hank to washing it to dying and rewashing? Also, when Ray said, "It's been a pleasure as always, love you, bye." My heart smiled. Thank you for doing this podcast. You both are wonderful!
Aww thanks so much Niko! I think it’s an extra skein of Hocus Pocus from Trilogy Yarns
LOVE that blue/gray you dyed-- totally a favorite neutral of mine
Thank you!!
Thank you 😊
You guys have become one of my go-to knitting podcasts! Love it! (And no, not too close) 😊👍 Thanks for your generosity in providing us with fibre joy. 🧶🧶🧶💜💜💜
Yay! Thank you! We really love doing these and meeting all of you wonderful people!!
I started a weaving squares to make a rug. I was 16.... it is still to be finished and i will! I am now 57. I never knew how i wanted to join... i think now i will crochet..... maybe...🤣
Yes!! Lol 😆 at least you still have it 🥰🥰
You two always seem to think things are going to go poorly (i.e. early comments about it being a poop show), but the episodes are ALWAYS great. I haven't seen a less than fab one yet. Your interacion, the way you express yourselves so naturally, the content.... all wonderful. It's a good time💕 ❤💗💜💕
Aww thank you! It’s hard in the beginning but we are so happy to be able to do these and meet all you wonderful people 🥰
Paris toujours is my favorite!!!! I have three! Love your color!
It is a really fun knit.
As usual....another GREAT podcast! How about a notions section?? Some of your fav knitting notions/supplies....Some of us new knitters are just learning about all the useful tools out there!! What are some of your favorites? Must haves???
Thank you Byron! We just went over some of our favorites in the live episode we had a couple week ago.
@@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast Well crap...lol I missed that one...Now I have to go find it!!! Ok...I will shut up now...lol
Your pup is adorable! ❤️ 🐾 ❤️
Thank you! 😊
you guys are hilarious :D Thank you for being so genuine !!
Aww thank you, that really means so much to us 🥰🥰
Another great podcast! You ARE sitting on my lap! I am lounging on the couch with the lap top on my lap! lol! Your makes are all beautiful! I feel bad for poor Tarquin. He needs to be part of the show too! I just started watching SpaKnits. Anne makes lovely things. You might enjoy her. If you could give her a shout out, I think she would appreciate it. She is in a wheel chair so it is hard for her to show some of the items she makes. I just finished watching her latest podcast(#5) and really enjoy her. Thanks for sharing your time with all of us.
Thanks for sharing! We’ll try to check her out 🥰🥰
Hi guys, yes I am new to your channel, yes I love your banter, your both so entertaining. Yes I am from the UK, but I have just found your channel and you have made me laugh for the duration. The dyed yarns are fantastic, your knitted jumpers are lovely. You included so much within your podcast and it is great. (Your both My two favourite podcasters). Oh by the way I am a crocheter and a knitter. 🧶😀🤓
Aww thank you so much!! We’re glad you enjoyed it as much as we do making them 🥰🥰
Besides my blankets, my oldest wip is my Wizarding Transportation Scarf. I cast on in February 2020. I dug it out last week and started working on it again! I’m not sure if I can finish it before your kal ends, but I’m going to try!!! Thanks for another great episode!
Hi Lisa!! Good luck with the scarf.
That is a beautiful set that you did for your mum ,love the fit x x x
Thank you 😊
Kevin that is gorgeous! Love your color way.
Thanks so much!
Hello Kevin and Ray :-) Nice to see your podcast :-) You make so beatiful knit :-)
Thank you! 😊
What a beautiful bag your Paris is in Kevin x x x x
She has amazing bags 😊
Just a heads up Ray, Lucy Neatby has a video showing how to weave in the ends as you go (a technique from stranded color work) which I use all the time and have only one or two ends to weave in at the end of the project. Works great!
Thanks for the tip! I'm using the weave'n Steven technique but I'm sure it's similar :-)
My longest WIP is an afghan I started knitting a few years ago....and lost the pattern. I have no idea what the name of the pattern is and no idea where to look. I love it though. I think I will tackle this for the knit along. It is sitting there staring at me and needs to be given some attention. By now, there may be as much cat hair in the project bag as there is yarn! (Blech! Can't believe I just admitted that )
Lol that’s ok, the cat hair adds some personality lol 😂
Just so you know, Kevin - I totally caught that Rapper's Delight reference. And I loved it.
:)
Saturday afternoon poop show!!
Love it!!!
My longest WIP is embarrassing!!!
It's a crochet blanket I started when I was married and living in Oregon...
In the 70's!! 😲
I actually took it out & worked on it a couple years ago....
I promise to finish!! 😂🤣😂🤣
I actually HAVE finished 2 things since the MAL started, I need to take pictures, but one's black & other a knitted blanket....both don't have "real" patterns, I guess they're "wing-its".
I decided to watch you instead of mowing!!! But then again it is pretty windy. 🤷
Seeing your gorgeous yarn, I need to get dyeing again....I should have some bare yarn next week...
I WANT the chocochada!!! 🥰
I LOVE true crime shows, but I'm positive it's related to the job I used to do.....
🤣😂🤣😂 I bought the maximum ride series for my daughter years ago, she loved them!!! Patterson is one of my favorite authors....
Along with Dean Koontz, Stephen King, and Bentley Little (who after reading one of the dedications, I realize he's my second cousin!!!)
Have a wonderful fortnight guys!!
OMG what a small world!! Also, sounds like you already have 2 entries in the MAL!! Yay 😁 Thanks so much for your comments and hanging out with us 🥰🥰
Love your blue dyed yarn.
Thanks Penny!!
I enjoy listening to you guys. I love your Montrealer sweaters. I think I am going to have to make one for my husband! Thanks for the inspiration. Rosie
Thanks so much Rosie! I’m sure he will love it! What a nice gift 🥰🥰
“I need to sell my turnips today” you guys are SO funny!!! First time watching, just subscribed.
LOL!!! Thank you so much for watching, subscribing and commenting, we really appreciate it.
I love you guys, you are so fun to watch. Ray, FYI Na zdrovje means Cheers, or to health. Bless you can be translated to Bog pomagaj, or God help. My parents were from Slovenia, so that's my reference point.
Hi Marg!! Thank you for the info, that's good to know.
I watch you on my tv, so I have to switch to my tablet to comment. You 2 are my absolute favorites. It like listening to my sons at the table with their banter. We are big Potter fans, too. You do such a great job! My only complaint is I wish you were more frequent (purely selfish of me!). Btw......potion class is a BRILLIANT name for your dye section. *note* not my idea, I saw it in comments. Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much, Tina! That really means so much to us 🥰🥰
Great podcast... NO thumbs down for you guys!
Aww thank you Monica, we appreciate that.
