Haha… YES to “wherever the winds blows” patterns, the best kind, right!!!? Currently I have quite a few kits (that I just HAD to have & start Right. Now…. ahem), so that’s where alllll my needles are. Really?? So, I “need” more needle tips (for interchangeable set), then I get more… The Cast On, WIPs, Finish (what’s THAT???) battle/s never end. No matter what I’m knitting on (or not) brings me joy, and then I’m Super Duper Happy when the thing is finished!! The dogs are soooo full of energy! Thanks for sharing all the gorgeous-ness & enjoy all the tomatoes & potatoes (w herbs)! 😊
I did just buy some more yarn for an Oslo hat which is a nice, easy project. I cast on some DRK Everyday socks today as my purse project. My husband will finally get his own pair!
Thanks for a lovely "catch up". I love that Julie Asselin Anatolia. I made a Ranunculus in a gorgeous orangey red with that yarn held double and it was just so beautiful and soft. Not all silk mohairs are as lovely as this one. I wish my LYS still carried it. I iust found NE Knits recently as well and loved her content and style. I'm keen to make the Kuutar Top also but will wait till my in-laws can bring me some Tynn Line in their suitcase. It sounds like your brain just isnt in the headspace for all the lace right now, though. I am also all over the place with what i am going to knit next - I never know what will catch my eye and I will drop the current plan and create a new one. Love hearing about your knitting plans and your sharing about your family and Teddy. Thanks again for sharing. x
I just spent time Sunday afternoon at a skirting party in Western Ma. We worked on about 6 fleeces that are headed to Green Mounting Spinners. They process donated wool for the "Western Mass. Fiber Shed" organization. I believe these fleeces will end being woven into blankets to help support the cause. Enjoy your time up here.
Love that you enjoy and recommend other podcasts! Amy is a wonderful podcaster…thoughtful and clear in her presentation. I really love her bright blue poppy tee. Love your podcasts too! It’s exciting to plan the fall knits.
Your knits are beautiful Jonna !!! Nice to see you today 💝 I love Amy NE knits She’s very informative and great knits 🧶 Have a great weekend and see you soon 😊💝🇨🇦
Hi Jonna, I am a new member from CT and this is the first video I was able to view with early access. Thrilled to listen to all your plans. I love to listen to all things knitting! I too have been organizing rooms and refreshing the spaces. All 3 of my kids are out on their own now. This year I am officially an empty nester so we have been painting and re-arranging the rooms! A craft room is on my list for one of them! Trying not to get overwhelmed, I have flower gardens to keep up on, a full time job and always like to fit in as much knitting as possible!! Safe travels to you! I’ll be hitting some shops on 91 but not on the same weekend that you’ll be out and about! Enjoy and thanks again to you and Kim for sharing your knitting journey !
Welcome, Rita!! And, thank you so much for your sweet comment. I know all about the changing of rooms. First, our last child moved out and then Covid...we decided to use our house for our needs instead of running a B&B ( pre-covid we had lots of company). So, now we just have one guest room, my husband has an office and I share with my grandson who is only here occasionally. So sorry we will miss you on the shop hop!
@@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna Thank you, Jonna! I’ve been watching for a quite a while and picked up needles and used UA-cam to lean to knit in 2020 when my youngest started college. First semester he was home of course but man it was rough to have him start the second during Covid. Knitting calms my worry immensely! I’m hooked for life! I am a bit lost and truly feel frazzled if I can’t start and end my day with it! LOL….borderline addiction ??🤣I hope to meet both of you one day and other members as well! Can’t seem to entice anyone in my circle to start up knitting 🧶 but…my daughter did actually try during our vacation week!!! She knit a few rows on a project of mine!!! I have hope 🤞🏻😉
Love this “catch up”…thank you Jonna 😄. Bravo to your Dad for knowing when it was time for him to stop driving…my Dad did the same. Loved seeing Teddy play with his brother…what fun for them both! I bring any project I’m working on that’s at an easy part in the pattern to appointments…even sweaters…it’s a wonderful conversation starter with others in waiting rooms 😄
Thank you, Pat! I just need to get to the "easy part" on SOMETHING!! Meanwhile, taking a new DRK Everyday sock with me to Texas. (ignoring the pair that need a toe!)
Thank you for sharing! I also love petite knits patterns, think she is so talented. And I think you would like Ribba skirt too, it is such a beautiful pattern😊
How cute is Teddy! So funny his brother is much smaller. Your garden 😞 I’d cry and your summer Texas temps are rude. I like summer but I’m talking 80-85F that to me is our summer. Good luck 🫠 Your rib skirt could be your mindless round and round? How brave of your dad to stop driving. Mine will be 80 soon and I don’t think will ever be that wise. He’s crashing a bit (and not disclosing it all the time) and I know as he gets older/worse he won’t give in so the future can worry me if I look too far ahead, he’s SO stubborn. Growing older (whilst a gift) is not always easy. Lovely as always and fun to see what you’re up to. Enjoy your trip. Thanks for sharing, Karen 💕
Thank you, Karen. I think I would prefer Australian summers! I don't think it's been above 90* in NY this summer, but it's been very humid. I had to cancel my trip to TX bc my Dad wasn't feeling well. Not sad to miss those temps!!
I’ve watched Amy on NE Knits also. I really enjoy her and hope lots of people try her podcast. She is sweet, details her knits exceptionally and picks beautiful yarn and patterns. Thanks for promoting other knitters. You are so sweet!
Thanks Jonna, you were great company this evening ! I love that you found your knitting companion for on the go ! Kudos to your dad, for taking such a brave decision, can't wait to hear about his 90th celebration. What a great idea to have an interview with Green Mountain spinnery, I am sure it's going to be interesting to watch and thanks for taking us on the yarn hop :) Have fun in Texas and happy 9th birthday to your grandson, I am sure it will be a lovely celebration.
Thank you so much, Mercedes! Dad bought us tickets to cruise from NYC to Nova Scotia for his birthday. He didn't want a party. Will there be a yarn shop in every port??? YES!! The shop hop will be fun!! Can't wait to share. We'll be doing our next member Zoom from Vermont! See you there, maybe!
Lovely catch-up episode, Jonna. I'm so with you on heat and summer! Also on love of words and language----I have the Vellichor pattern too and look forward to knitting it. Teddy is such a delight---I have an AussieDoodle named Toby who is a gray/white pooch who seems a lot like Teddy. As for skirt ideas: Tash from the podcast Mostly Knitting (lovely Australian woman in Sydney) made a gorgeous Carnaby Skirt by Nicole Lohr that is slightly gored. I hope the Texas heat isn't too oppressive...
I loved the time. I was also looking for that sweater Inga showed. I loved it. Let me know if you find it! Cute room by the way. I also agreed with Kevin and Ray on the projects and feeling overwhelmed. Have a great trip! - Kimberly
Thank you 💕 I didn't make it to TX. My Dad isn't feeling well, so I stayed home. Another viewer suggested this sweater by Aegyoknit. It's gorgeous! Would love to do an Aegyoknit KAL! aegyoknit.com/collections/english-patterns/products/kopi-af-hyun-sweater-norsk
Thanks for the video Jonna. I’m watching in front of the cosy fire down here in South Australia. I’m feeling very inspired and have added a couple of the patterns you mentioned on my favourites list and will checkout the youtubes you mentioned. I’m now also motivated to tidy my sewing/ knitting room after seeing your super tidy and organised room. 😊
👋 Jonna - I just purchased the Vertical Stripes pattern by petite knit- I already had it in my favorites- what I didn’t know was that it’s ‘bottom up’ knit ❤yey always looking for those rather than top down- Happy me😊- always enjoy listening to your stories- happy knitting. 🧶
Hi Jonna, definitely can recommend the Vellichor, I am just binding off the neckline. I am knitting it with the Myak you send me last year( dingley dell Kal) and I used all the colours. I think it is an easy pattern you can knit in a waiting room as well. Looking forward to see yours, take care🙋♀
Hi Jonna! Thank you for the catchupasode! Have you thought about socks for on-the-go knitting? They are the perfect project to take with you. They fit in your purse and you can put them down easily. I've mentioned before to try the DRK everyday socks. They are all 2x2 rib and fit really well. The other socks that are good is anything from The Crazy Sock Lady. Watch some of her episodes. She does so much with a plain vanilla sock. Something else I wanted to ask you is, have you looked at the skirt from Churchmouse Yarn & Tea? It's a classic shape. Actually the aesthetic of Churchmouse patterns makes me think of you: classic, elegant, and beautiful. I can picture you wearing just about all of their designs!
Yes, the Pencil Ribbed Skirt?? It's gorgeous too, and DK! It's knit flat and seamed but that's not a big deal since it's ribbing. I made their Studio Beret and love it. Thank you for your sweet comment! So, some sock drama...I have just the toe to finish on my striped pair and feel like I can't CO another pair until I finish those? That's why I need to get my knitting life in order! I need a purse project for sure. I've purchased the DRK sock pattern and just need to choose yarn...and I have plenty 😂 Thank you so much, Anne!
I do a lot of sitting in medical offices so often take a simple project with me. It's a challenge to find something with which to ease anxiety that's simple enough to pick up and put down mid row.
That lace summer top is so pretty and you've gone so far with it that I think you should put it aside until you feel ready to finish it (maybe next summer). It was such fun to see Teddy and his brother racing around together - puppies are wonderful!
I love that Ribba skirt. Thanks for the inspiration. I have made the Carnaby Skirt (A-Line) and the Jaunty Skirt (lots of increases and flowy) and wear them regularly so definitely keen to give this one a try.
You seem to be a very accomplished level headed person in your daily life so being delightfully non-committal about your knitting makes perfect sense. 😊 Your black “Vellichor” plans sound great.
It's been 115* with the humidity where my daughter lives (north Texas). They can only go out in the mornings. We have had torrential rains here in NY. I had to cancel my trip bc Dad wasn't feeling well. Rescheduled for September!
I also have the yarn for Yuki No Hi No. Eri Shimizu is only one of several Japanese designers whose work I admire. It’s impossible to keep up with all of the amazing patterns in general!
Love Green Mountain Spinnery! I purchased yarn for my first cardigan from them. They were incredibly helpful and welcoming when we stopped by the mill. Another great mill near there is Junction Fiber Mill. I love their Making Tracks Yarn. Terrific episode as always, thank you!
I think the Wooly Thistle may have store hours again. I'll be starting the Altheda (Jennifer Steingass) kit I purchased from them as soon as I finish the Lindal Torkel (Ona Woldten) I'm making with the wool I purchased from Junction Fiber Mill. We are so lucky to have so many wonderful local producers and purveyors in our area.
I finished my Vellichor recently and I really love the finished product. It was a slog for me at one point (because I'm not skinny), but once I got to the separation of the sleeves it went super fast for some reason. The pattern repeat is easy to memorize and I think I only made one big mistake - I did an extra 4 row repeat in the pattern, but I doubt anyone else would notice. I may revisit this pattern and try using just one color. I'm currently on the traveler. I'm at the sleeve separation already. Another super easy repeat till you separate. Then it's a 10 row repeat that I can't memorize. lol Other than that I started the seven sisters top the other day. Lots of ribbing (5")but will be a good mindless knit once past the rib. I'm looking forward to cooler temps for sure. We've had so many days of 105 and up. July was awful. So far August is still hot but not the triple digits of July. Great video Jonna and I loved seeing the puppers play!
Knitting in the summer can be just too hot! I live in Australia and sweaty hands and even cotton or linen is too much. The longer summer days mean you can spend ages in the garden too. Sounds like you need to border the whole garden in herbs to keep that groundhog out. We just get parrots eating all our apples which I don’t mind.
Parrots eating apples sounds much nicer than groundhogs eating spinach! lol Some of my neighbors have built chicken wire fences around their raised beds. I guess that's next!
Thank you for the nice catch up. You’re so beautiful and gracious-a pleasure to watch. Teddy is a doll…I love it when dogs chase each other around and around like that. Bet he took a nice long nap after that!
Use Google translate for the Norwegian pattern. Also, we have a a new-ish yarn shop in Dallas that you might want to visit -- KNIT DALLAS (close to downtown). It is a lovely shop and the owner is very nice and knowledgeable.
I have been to Knit Dallas and cannot wait to visit again. I didn't make it to Texas, afterall. My Dad isn't feeling well. I didn't realize it was a free download until a viewer mentioned it to me! I used Google Translate and it worked! Thank you so much!
Awesome Friday treat podcast, Jonna! Teddy and Clifford are so adorable and cute! Glad you can fit a play date in! Have an amazing weekend with happy knitting! ❤❤
Hi Jonna, your Cumulus Tee really turned out beautiful. Well done! I love Amy’s aesthetic as well. And yours😃NE does stand for New England. She lives in Boston. She explained it on one of her prior episodes. Fun catching up with you🌸
Great to catch up on your news, your knitting and your knitting plans. Nothing better than fresh produce, enjoy the tomatoes. Have a good trip to Texas. 🇬🇧
Teddy and Clifford are so delightful. I’ve been living a parallel existence over here in Australia as we bought a puppy in early January. We also take her for long walks and play dates to wear her out 😂 I love to hear what you’re knitting and why. This was a great episode. Thank you 💐🍅🧶
Thank you for your nice podcast.. I like this so much on Sundays 😊 I’m from the Netherlands and heard on “It’s a Sarah who recommanded your podcast toghether with Kim.. so yes.. lovely is the word.. sorry if my english in writing is not ok.. 😅 I like the Tolsta Tee from the crea bea podcast also.. maybe that ‘s an option too in stead off the top your making.. But I love the lace in your top.. I wish I could make that 😂.. maybe in 5 years from now.. 🎉 I am learning to read the English patterns and… knitting in the round.. the patterns are not in Dutch so I’m translating the patterns a bit..
Thank you! Your English is perfect! I believe the Kuutar comes in Finnish but I’ve heard that’s quite a different language than Dutch. I’m so glad to be introduced to so many of Sarah’s viewers. She is such a delight!
Thank you for this enormous compliment… yes, Sarah is back from her holiday now and did her podcast yesterday.. so lovely she is.. Finnish is not a language that the Dutch are learning or understand but Swedish and Norwegian has a bit the same in speak.. at school we learn german, french and english but that’s a while ago for me at 54 ☺️.. So again Jonna thank you for catching up with us viewers.. ❤️
I am the Swiss who lives Redwood City. I’m totally with you in terms of the weather. I like it rainy and cold. California weather is definitely wasted on me.
What if you just knit the front panel of the Kuutar-top according to the lace pattern and knit the back just in stockinette? You would still get the beautiful top, but save some brainpower. 😀 Teddy is adorable! 🥰
I enjoyed this episode just like all the rest! I do have a question. I’m sure you have mentioned it somewhere, but what is the name of the colorful shawl you have hanging on the rack behind you? It’s beautiful!
Thank you! It's the Hellik Shawl by Stephen West in JA Exmoor Sock. Here's my Ravelry page. I am looking forward to cooler temps so I can wear it! www.ravelry.com/projects/Knitmatician/hellik-2
I didn’t, really. I just had to keep everything up high. He’s less interested now that he’s almost 1, but, if it’s within reach, he will take it and run! I have to offer treats to get anything back from him. I feel your pain! Good luck.
Absolutely. Sometimes, it’s paralysis over what to knit next. I know that I cannot possibly knit all the things, but that doesn’t stop me from wanting too!
Nice catch up, Jonna. Teddy and Clifford are so cute together. Puppies are tough in the beginning. We adopted our Eddie (pictured) just before I broke my arm and while I had to work from home. Since I could not put my computer on mute, everyone got to hear melodious beagle sounds during class. It’s funny now…He is three now and has been such a sweetie and much quieter. Tough for someone to have to give up driving. We had to tell my dad he could no longer drive and he/ we hated that. Congrats on becoming a grandma again. Oh and lovely knitting. Rip is always the way to go. You will be happier when you get the sweater that you want. I am working on too many projects right now - I have good reason :) but it can be a little stressful. Thats an interesting topic
Eddie is so cute!! Thank you for your kind comment. Teddy's most annoying (cutest) game is to hide his balls under furniture and then bark his head off!
It's wonderful how comfortable you've become in front of the camera. So lovely "chatting with" you! 🧶 You've piqued my interest in 4x4 rib sweaters and removed me if my love for the Andrea Mowry sweater Vellachor...I have ideas brewing😊
Thank you! Another viewer suggested this sweater by Aegyoknit. It's gorgeous! aegyoknit.com/collections/english-patterns/products/kopi-af-hyun-sweater-norsk

We must be kindred spirits!! 🥰
What a treat watching Teddy and Clifford! Thank you for a lovely catch-up x
They’re the cutest. It’s heart-jumping to see how much they love each other.
THE PUPPIES!!!! When ever I can't decide what to knit.... I just knit ANOTHER beret!
I did just buy some more yarn for an Oslo hat which is a nice, easy project. I cast on some DRK Everyday socks today as my purse project. My husband will finally get his own pair!

I agree! She chooses lovely combos. I'm so glad I came across her channel.
Finding new podcasts can be dangerous🤣🤣. I found Knitty Kats which is great fun from Colorado.
I agree, I could just knit things by Petite Knit all of the time. Kim Have a great trip.
We have a similar aesthetic! xoxo J

That lace summer top is so pretty and you've gone so far with it that I think you should put it aside until you feel ready to finish it (maybe next summer). It was such fun to see Teddy and his brother racing around together - puppies are wonderful!
It is VERY pretty....so much so that I don't think I can frog it.
Sweet episode - thank you! The doggies' pure joy at being together melted my heart 💕
They really love each other!
Thanks, nice seeinig you, big hug

Is that "Walter the Farting Dog" I spy on the bookshelf? That was one of my son's favorites; what little boy doesn't love potty humor 😂
I read it to my grandsons and I laughed harder than they did! It's hilarious!
You seem to be a very accomplished level headed person in your daily life so being delightfully non-committal about your knitting makes perfect sense. 😊 Your black “Vellichor” plans sound great.
❤️
The heat is brutal here in Texas 😂 so hopefully you will bring some cooler weather with you.
It's been 115* with the humidity where my daughter lives (north Texas). They can only go out in the mornings. We have had torrential rains here in NY. I had to cancel my trip bc Dad wasn't feeling well. Rescheduled for September!
Turning 90?!? What a blessing!
Oh I LOVE NE Knits.
I think Lyocell is wood pulp. It was so nice catching up with you!
I also have the yarn for Yuki No Hi No. Eri Shimizu is only one of several Japanese designers whose work I admire. It’s impossible to keep up with all of the amazing patterns in general!
So true!
Love Green Mountain Spinnery! I purchased yarn for my first cardigan from them. They were incredibly helpful and welcoming when we stopped by the mill.
Another great mill near there is Junction Fiber Mill. I love their Making Tracks Yarn.
Terrific episode as always, thank you!
Great idea!! Maybe we will be able to stop there, too. I think The Woolly Thistle started carrying their yarn.
I think the Wooly Thistle may have store hours again. I'll be starting the Altheda (Jennifer Steingass) kit I purchased from them as soon as I finish the Lindal Torkel (Ona Woldten) I'm making with the wool I purchased from Junction Fiber Mill. We are so lucky to have so many wonderful local producers and purveyors in our area.
Thanks for sharing.❤
The Robbia Skirt is stunning.
Sounds like a Salad is I order-whittle down all of those tomatoes 🍅 you have left 😁
Our supply is dwindling for sure! We’ve had a delicious harvest!
Hi Jonna, I was watching Knitty Natty’s 2022 CAKEpalooza and Wool & Folk vlog and saw you in it at 11:40!
Yep!! So funny!
I finished my Vellichor recently and I really love the finished product. It was a slog for me at one point (because I'm not skinny), but once I got to the separation of the sleeves it went super fast for some reason. The pattern repeat is easy to memorize and I think I only made one big mistake - I did an extra 4 row repeat in the pattern, but I doubt anyone else would notice. I may revisit this pattern and try using just one color. I'm currently on the traveler. I'm at the sleeve separation already. Another super easy repeat till you separate. Then it's a 10 row repeat that I can't memorize. lol Other than that I started the seven sisters top the other day. Lots of ribbing (5")but will be a good mindless knit once past the rib. I'm looking forward to cooler temps for sure. We've had so many days of 105 and up. July was awful. So far August is still hot but not the triple digits of July. Great video Jonna and I loved seeing the puppers play!
Thank you for sharing all of your WIPs! Glad I'm not alone with the multiples!
Knitting in the summer can be just too hot! I live in Australia and sweaty hands and even cotton
or linen is too much. The longer summer days mean you can spend ages in the garden too. Sounds like you need to border the whole garden in herbs to keep that groundhog out. We just get parrots eating all our apples which I don’t mind.
Parrots eating apples sounds much nicer than groundhogs eating spinach! lol Some of my neighbors have built chicken wire fences around their raised beds. I guess that's next!
I enjoy your video’s so much. Thanks for making them. I would love to see how you use good notes for your knitting notes as a future video topic.
Thank you! Maybe I'll do one about Good Notes and transitioning to/caring for grey hair 😂 which is another oft-requested topic!
Thank you for the nice catch up. You’re so beautiful and gracious-a pleasure to watch. Teddy is a doll…I love it when dogs chase each other around and around like that. Bet he took a nice long nap after that!
He did!
Use Google translate for the Norwegian pattern. Also, we have a a new-ish yarn shop in Dallas that you might want to visit -- KNIT DALLAS (close to downtown). It is a lovely shop and the owner is very nice and knowledgeable.
I have been to Knit Dallas and cannot wait to visit again. I didn't make it to Texas, afterall. My Dad isn't feeling well.
I didn't realize it was a free download until a viewer mentioned it to me! I used Google Translate and it worked! Thank you so much!
Awesome Friday treat podcast, Jonna! Teddy and Clifford are so adorable and cute! Glad you can fit a play date in! Have an amazing weekend with happy knitting! ❤❤
Thanks so much! I have some socks going!
I’m looking at the Vellichor too!! I love graphic strong lines on patterns ☺️ great video!
Thank you!
Hi Jonna, your Cumulus Tee really turned out beautiful. Well done! I love Amy’s aesthetic as well. And yours😃NE does stand for New England. She lives in Boston. She explained it on one of her prior episodes. Fun catching up with you🌸
Oh! Glad I was semi-correct...I did introduce myself to her, but forgot to ask about the NE. She just posted her Kuutar Top on IG! So lovely.
Great to catch up on your news, your knitting and your knitting plans. Nothing better than fresh produce, enjoy the tomatoes. Have a good trip to Texas. 🇬🇧
Thanks so much!
Teddy and Clifford are so delightful. I’ve been living a parallel existence over here in Australia as we bought a puppy in early January. We also take her for long walks and play dates to wear her out 😂
I love to hear what you’re knitting and why. This was a great episode. Thank you 💐🍅🧶
❤️
I’m a new viewer. Teddy is adorable and so is his sibling! They were so happy to see one another. ❤
Love Ne=Knits podcast - thank you!
I think Amy said NE Knits was for New England Knits which is equally delightful
Yes!
Great podcast!
Thank you, Catherine.
great to see you
I love your episodes, so full of fun and inspiration.
Great catch up 🩶🩷
Can you show us how you do your provisional cast on with the silicone cords? I’m intrigued!😊
I will put it in the show notes. Thank you for reminding me! 💕
Thank you for your nice podcast.. I like this so much on Sundays 😊 I’m from the Netherlands and heard on “It’s a Sarah who recommanded your podcast toghether with Kim.. so yes.. lovely is the word.. sorry if my english in writing is not ok.. 😅
I like the Tolsta Tee from the crea bea podcast also.. maybe that ‘s an option too in stead off the top your making.. But I love the lace in your top.. I wish I could make that 😂.. maybe in 5 years from now.. 🎉 I am learning to read the English patterns and… knitting in the round.. the patterns are not in Dutch so I’m translating the patterns a bit..
Thank you! Your English is perfect! I believe the Kuutar comes in Finnish but I’ve heard that’s quite a different language than Dutch. I’m so glad to be introduced to so many of Sarah’s viewers. She is such a delight!
Thank you for this enormous compliment… yes, Sarah is back from her holiday now and did her podcast yesterday.. so lovely she is..
Finnish is not a language that the Dutch are learning or understand but Swedish and Norwegian has a bit the same in speak..
at school we learn german, french and english but that’s a while ago for me at 54 ☺️..
So again Jonna thank you for catching up with us viewers.. ❤️
I am the Swiss who lives Redwood City. I’m totally with you in terms of the weather. I like it rainy and cold. California weather is definitely wasted on me.
I grew up in Redwood City!
Thank you lovely podcast always enjoy watching ❤😊
What if you just knit the front panel of the Kuutar-top according to the lace pattern and knit the back just in stockinette? You would still get the beautiful top, but save some brainpower. 😀
Teddy is adorable! 🥰
I've been thinking of doing that...it's soooooo beautiful and no one would miss the lace on the back.
Mmmmm bruschetta makings left in the garden!!!
I've been making this on repeat! So delicious.

@@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna oh I’m drooling 🤤
@@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna
I’m drooling as well !! And at the moment, I’m hungry, soooo…😊
I enjoyed this episode just like all the rest! I do have a question. I’m sure you have mentioned it somewhere, but what is the name of the colorful shawl you have hanging on the rack behind you? It’s beautiful!
Thank you! It's the Hellik Shawl by Stephen West in JA Exmoor Sock. Here's my Ravelry page. I am looking forward to cooler temps so I can wear it!

@@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna thank you Jonna!
I just got a puppy in May and she will not let me knit with mohair . She is constantly trying to run away with my yarn!How do you manage with Teddy?
I didn’t, really. I just had to keep everything up high. He’s less interested now that he’s almost 1, but, if it’s within reach, he will take it and run! I have to offer treats to get anything back from him. I feel your pain! Good luck.
I love your podcast 🤩 I see you also like to watch other podcasts, I recommend espace tricot 🤗🌟
Thank you. I love their patterns. I think one of the ladies made an amazing color work skirt??
@@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna yes!! That’s the one 🤩
A nice skirt the ribba in grey and then the letho jacket that could be nice 🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂
I really want to finish some lingering WIPs before I start my fall projects, so maybe this will happen!
Genser, Guernsey, Gansey, Jersey there must be some etymology here.
💕💕💕
The Hyun sweater is similar to the sweater Ingrid made.
Looking it up now!
So similar!! Thank you for suggesting it.
Maybe NE stands forNew England?
Yep!
Aren’t we crazy to be stressed out by knitting!!!!
Absolutely. Sometimes, it’s paralysis over what to knit next. I know that I cannot possibly knit all the things, but that doesn’t stop me from wanting too!
Nice catch up, Jonna. Teddy and Clifford are so cute together. Puppies are tough in the beginning. We adopted our Eddie (pictured) just before I broke my arm and while I had to work from home. Since I could not put my computer on mute, everyone got to hear melodious beagle sounds during class. It’s funny now…He is three now and has been such a sweetie and much quieter. Tough for someone to have to give up driving. We had to tell my dad he could no longer drive and he/ we hated that. Congrats on becoming a grandma again. Oh and lovely knitting. Rip is always the way to go. You will be happier when you get the sweater that you want. I am working on too many projects right now - I have good reason :) but it can be a little stressful. Thats an interesting topic
Eddie is so cute!! Thank you for your kind comment. Teddy's most annoying (cutest) game is to hide his balls under furniture and then bark his head off!
😊👍🍎🕊Jonna,I'want to knite a skirt.только она будет плессированнаятреугольниками.
It's wonderful how comfortable you've become in front of the camera. So lovely "chatting with" you! 🧶 You've piqued my interest in 4x4 rib sweaters and removed me if my love for the Andrea Mowry sweater Vellachor...I have ideas brewing😊
Thank you! Another viewer suggested this sweater by Aegyoknit. It's gorgeous!
