You ladies are such a thrill to watch and listen to. I like with when you start with “what are you wearing” because you give such great ideas for adjustments to colors. Ladies you are both rocking your hair.
Thanks so much for the kind shout out! You two are the best! And Jonna, tip for closing those tiny sleeve holes. When you pick up stitches for the sleeves, always pick up one extra on either side where you see the gap. So you are picking up 2 more stitches then the designer suggests. Immediately, on the very first round decrease those two stitches by knitting together on either side. No more holes! Hope this makes sense, If not, I'll show you next time I see you!
Hi Beth! Thank you for the tip. I think I knit this before I was confident enough to stray from a pattern! I have tried that technique since then (after searching on UA-cam!). I'm making a ranunculus right now and Midori Hirose has an ingenious way to avoid holes that I will use on all of my sweaters from now on. We're recording a Ranunculus episode soon! Jonna
👋🏼 Hi. I have been binge watching to catch up on all the episodes. The introductory music and song is perfect. I like how Kim loves Jonna so much. She is always praising her and making affectionate statements. Jonna you have a great BFF. Anyways I am loving the vlogcast. Keep it up.
I am lucky to have a beautiful LYS (Salty Sheep, Swansboro, NC), I have been there so many times when the owner, Peggy, is putting together yarn combinations and sending photos to her dedicated call in customers. She goes above and beyond.
Before I moved back to my hometown last year where my sisters are I had a lot of knitting friends. My three sisters aren’t knitters, and I still haven’t made a lot of friends. There may be some at my church that knit that I don’t know about yet. It’s the church I grew up in but I left for college in 1972 so things and people have changed. Lol. But I miss my little group and being able to ask for help. There is a shop in Salem, VA that is about an hour away so I’ll check that out maybe next week. Luckily, there are two quilt shops within 30 miles of where I live so that is wonderful. Can’t have everything I guess. Love watching you two. It makes miss a few dear friends of mine. But it’s ok because I believe Im where I need to be. Thanks!
Hi Valerie, So sorry for the delayed reply, but thank you so much for watching and commenting! I never had a single knitting friend until I met Jonna. It must be hard to not have friends to knit with in VA. Have you met any since this comment? Hopefully, but if not, we're happy to be your virtual knitting friends. :) Kim
FANTASTIC podcast-you seem to be pros. The production effort is huge which leaves YOU less time for knitting. Thank you for being so generous with your time. I’m SO excited to have your podcast to track going forward. 2022 will be wicked fun thanks to you! Stay healthy and enjoy your new fandom. You deserve it!!!
Oh my goodness, you are SO right!! We didn't think of that before we started, lol! I can assure you, I definitely do not feel like a pro! That said, we've both learned a lot. I love learning new techniques and doing research for the channel! Thank you so much for your sweet comment. Here's to 2022!! xoxo Jonna
Jonna, I understand your substitute for tally marks because I always found myself getting frustrated with tally marks because I would forget if I did it or not. 😂🙈 Now I add a stitch marker every 10 rows and so far it is great!! As always I learned a lot from today. It’s so nice how informative your blogs are. 💕 Love to see all the beautiful 🤩 things both of you have made. I wish I could knit all day! 😂 such a wonderful problem to have. 🙈😉
How wonderful!! I've always wanted to go to Finland because my name is somewhat common there, right? I get no end of mispronunciations here. Thank you for telling us where you're from.
Kim , I add my new yarn the same way you do. I've never heard of anyone else doing it this way ( I learned this way off an old you tube video when I was teaching myself to knit) so I am glad to hear that it works well for some one else as well ! Keep up the good work ladies, love your videos
I sat down tonight and came across your channel. Love it! I fell asleep while watching (not your fault! Haha! I had been traveling and didn’t get much sleep last night. Lol), but a few minutes later when I woke up, I said to my husband, “I found a new favorite knitting podcast! Love them!” I look forward to watching more of your content! ..Now going back to watch what I missed!
We have a number of excellent yarn stores here in the Portland, OR area but sadly the one where our knit group was formed (Twisted) had already planned to close their brick and mortar when Covid hit. So, in 2020 we participated in the Rose City Yarn Crawl, met for our weekly Monday night gathering at Twisted and then everything shut down. We all continue to shop through Twisted’s web site and we continue to meet Mondays via Zoom. During the summer months we gathered in a back yard, properly distanced but now we are back to Zoom. I have now watched all of your videos, so much fun! How ironic that I grew up in Marin County (Terra Linda) and how live in Portland!
Hi Debbie, It's always so sad when a local business, especially a knitting shop, closes. But it's so amazing that you all still keep in touch and shop there online. And yes, very ironic. We have so much in common. Maybe next time I visit, or if Jonna and I both head to the PNW, we can all meet the Twisted crew. Have a wonderful day! ~ Kim
I just found you yesterday and I so enjoyed your podcast!! When you talked about knitting a baby garment for a gift that needs to hand washed I always include a travel sized bottle from Target filled with wool washed with instructions on how to hand wash. So looking forward to more podcast!!
Hi Pamela, That's such a great idea! And I always think of it as I'm gifting it, but by then it's too late. Maybe I'll get some ready now for my next gift... ;) Kim
Greetings from Sydney, Australia, where omicron reigns. I am loving your episodes. Thank you so much for reaching out to your fellow knitters. Your projects are beautiful!
Catching up on podcasts that I’ve missed seeing. Love to knit while watching you and so enjoy your energy, warmth, and encouragement of each other and everyone out there in knit land.
I would love that! It has taken me awhile to figure out all of the features but I find it super helpful. I still don't really get the groups and forums though. We will add it to the list!! Thank you.
Another fun episode. I love making socks and recently started doing toe up. On the needles I have one pair of socks another pair to make. The Alanis sweater and the first of 5 temperature blankets for my five grandkiddos. Looking forward to watching your next video
Woohoo nearly 3000 fans !!!! Go girls. I love Ravelry. I don’t use IB or FB so ravelry is all those things for me. Apart from the enormous amount of patterns I learn so much at times from reading other peoples pattern notes. The inspiration and learning has been huge as a result. It’s a daily ritual xox
I think we're the same! I find Ravelry to be so helpful when choosing yarn and patterns. I love looking at other people's projects and notes. I'm always disappointed when I see something beautiful and there are no notes. Ravelry is a fun rabbit hole!! Jonna
You ladies are SO DELIGHTFUL and refreshing!❤️ I love seeing all your projects, hearing the tips and info about yarn. Maybe one day, you could talk about yarn that “pills” (and yarn that doesn’t pill), based on all your experience with knitting garments. Also love and appreciate the amazing film editing (comments/pictures) that you take the time to do! It really adds so much! I just started watching your channel and trying to watch them in order 😀. Binging them here in Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦
Hi Carolyn, Thank you so much for your kind words and for the suggestion! We are so grateful for everyone who watches. Happy binging and knitting! ❤️ Kim
Thank you very much for the great entertainment! Watched all of your videos the last two days and cannot wait to see the next…Thank you! Kind regards from Germany, Daniela
OMG, Kim! I do same method when I join 2 yarns together, i knit 4-5 stitches both end and then cut thm 😄 if it's slippery yarn i leave those ends a bit longer so later I can wave them in on the wrong side
Thank you so much for showing your husband winding your yarn with the swift! I get my husband to do it too and he doesn't mind it and is better at it than I am! I showed that part of the video to my husband and told him that he wasn't the only one. Haha. I wanted to let you know a neat trick that I just started doing with my patterns that I am working on. I put the printed out pattern in a clear plastic pocket that my son gets for school. You can write on the clear plastic with a dry erase marker to mark the spot that you are on or any notes that you need to write down. Then you can erase it when you are done and your paper pattern is not all marked up!
😂 That’s actually my hubby’s best friend! My hubby was cooking dinner and I was winding yarn when his friend came in. As soon as he saw what I was doing, he asked if he could try. He loved it so much that he wound the rest of the balls for me! And thanks for the trick! I might try it. ❤️ Kim
Loved your podcast. Your tips are really great. Yes it’s a lot of time to spend with two people you consider friends who you don’t know. But when you get valuable Knitting instruction and entertainment along the way it makes it worthwhile. Thank you ladies!
Just found you two, and I am so grateful that I did. Your content is so up-lifting. Thank you for the all knitting, no politics podcast! Knit Together is a little gold nugget.... after going thru a lot of bedrock
Thank you! I have enjoyed binge watching your videos this weekend while working on my husband’s Montrealer. My son (12) loves to use the the swift and ball winder as well.
I enjoy listening to two good friends sharing their process and products with us! I would love to hear what you both choose to do while you knit -- do you listen to an audiobook, binge on Netflix, or simply knit? I look forward to each Friday episode. Thank you for sharing your time, your friendship, and your talent with us.
Sitting and knitting while watching you ladies always brings such joy! I love both of your sweaters, and my "to knit" list for 2022 keeps growing. Thank you!
Loved the episode. I would be so appreciative if you would do an episode on using Ravelry. I am like Kim when it comes to this. However I would love to learn how to put notes and really keep track of my projects.
It’s such a pleasure to listen to you two! 🤩 You wanted to know about our local yarn store - my store is called ‘Woolstock’, it is situated in Copenhagen, 10 minutes drive from my home. It’s a yarn store AND a cafe! Which means that there are small tables, they serve coffe and cakes and sweets, and you knit and chat and help each other with knitting problems and you are surrounded by a lot of beautiful yarn which you can buy naturally! You show off your latest creations and get inspired by the other custemers’! It’s all so cosy and nice with a perfect atmosphere! Wish you could see it! While watching your podcast I’m knitting on a ‘Bohus’ sweater - sooo exiting knitting! Looking forward to seeing your next podcast! 😊
Thank you so much for describing your local yarn shop! It would be a dream to visit someday, but until then, we just followed Woolstock on Instagram. ❤️ And please show us your Bohus sweater by using #showkimandjonna! We would love to see it! ~ Kim & Jonna
I thought I made this up on my own! lol A few months ago I didn't like what my hem was doing. I took a US 00 60" circular needle to pick up every right leg of the stitches so I could rip back to where I wanted to restart. Since I've never had any knitting mentors until recently, I mistakenly think I make things up on my own. lol Kim and I truly share the same mind!
So fun! Love the projects. I’m about to cast on a Birkin and a Bouquet sweater. Very excited. I keep all my knitting notes right on the paper patterns then put it in a clear sleeve with my swatch. I put them in a notebook for each year! Works for me 😊
Wow! That's a great idea and super organized! Maggie from the Sonder channel is making the Bouquet sweater, too. She's using the ladderback jacquard method for her floats. It looks amazing!!
You made my afternoon joyful! Such a treat even though I know next to nothing about knitting! Thank you! You warmed up a very cold day in Texas! Hugs n love, Mom.
I’ve only recently discovered your podcasts and I’m loving every episode as I play catch-up. You two are simply delightful. May I ask about the sweater pattern on display behind Kim. Lovely.
Hi, thank you! It's the the Leisurely Slipstitch Sweater by Artyarns. The pattern is available from PUES with the purchase of Artyarns. Hope this helps.
So loving your podcast over here in Australia and how efficiently you present it. You said you ramble but believe me you don't. Some I watch go on and on about some stuff that can be a bit boring and I want to say "get back to the knitting" LOL. My current WIPS are a shawl, short sleeve top, socks, cashmere cowl, granny stripe blanket, granny square blanket and I'm about to cast on a Central Park Hoodie in Peter Pan Cotton (it's summer here). It's hard watching all my favourite podcasts from the US and UK as we're in opposite seasons here. My yarn stash is quite big and it makes me anxious as I'm not a quick knitter and just want to make so many things but there's not enough hours in the day. 😊💖
Welcome!! We're so glad you enjoy our channel. Yay for all the WIPs and no worries. I have a lot of WIPs too...I think we're going to do an episode on them, lol. Oh, and stash??? I have LOTS. So much that I'm a little embarrassed! Oh well. Stay tuned for that episode too! ~Jonna
As a retired Labor & Delivery RN & a "new" knitter (I learned how to cable last week)..... I am LOVING you two in the background as I knit, drink tea & ease thru my day. I am learning SO much from your vlog. My first attempt at two color knitting will be (I've already purchased the yarn & pattern) a pattern called "Meadow Moon", which I believe I saw on.Kim. Beautiful.... Thanks so much & keep up the good work. PS... I LOVE seeing the grandkids and occasional dog on the show.
Congratulations on learning to cable!!! And thank you for watching us. We’re so happy you’re learning and getting inspired. Kim’s Meadow Moon is one of her very favorite sweaters. When you start knitting yours, please share pics with us using #showkimandjonna so we can see your progress. ❤️ Kim & Jonna
I am always so happy to see another video of yours pop up. You all have inspired me...my co-worker/friend and I are starting a Stitch Club in our community so we can find more yarn-y friends to hang with. We are so excited and have gotten so many interests already. Sadly, we do NOT have a yarn shop in the whole St Louis region. It's terrible so we have been daydreaming of opening one next to the bookstore that we both work at. We shall see!!! Keep up the rambling...I love it!
Wow, that would be amazing!! Can you imagine buying yarn for work?! Fun. You can always give Felicia and Karen a call at Pick Up Every Stitch if you need anything. I lived in Clayton before moving here to NY and I loved it. I didn't knit when we lived there, though. Thank you for your kind comment. ~Jonna
@@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna We moved to Webster Groves, MO (about 10 minutes from Clayton) about 10 years ago and I have heard there were a few in the area but have closed. It's such a bummer!
Lovely to see another episode from you both! Kim I’ve seen or heard of that method of joining in yarn by knitting 5 stitches or so double before maybe from Steven West? Thanks for another great watch 😊
I love your rambles!! It is how we get to know you both better so don't stop. It is early morning here in Tokyo and I am so happy to have you as company while I knit on my Nomad Hood by Paula Strickt in Sandnes Garn Double Sunday in Kelly Green. I am almost finished with it and hope to be able to wear it soon with my caramel colored wool coat and my navy puffer jacket. The sweaters you are wearing are both gorgeous and I love how you talked about them in detail. Have a lovely start to the year ladies!
Wow! You’re watching from Tokyo? We’re constantly amazed that anyone wants to listen to us ramble about knitting. 😂 ❤️ Please share your projects with us using #showkimandjonna! Happy New Year! And keep knitting… Kim & Jonna
Jonna, that new cardigan has me listing after it! Wow, and I thought I was so clever to knit a hat sideways! I hope it's in the notes below. That Scandinavian hat is AWESOME Kim! Really fun episode- you two make me miss in person friends.
Lovely to sit and knit with you, probably hotter here in New Zealand than in New York at the moment though! Loving your podcast and your fabulous knitting content.
Hi. I am really enjoying your podcast and your relaxed format. Love to see your projects but equally love your chatter about random things like hair colour and shampoo😊. Getting lots of ideas for future knits.
Hey ladies!! Loved your show! Your knits are gorgeous!!!! 😻 I just bought an 8 pc set of “ShoBro” clear, plastic, stackable boxes that fit a pair of mens sneakers. The front acrylic door flips down and is magnetic at the top. I think they will be great for either separating fingering and sock yarns by fiber content or to hold a sweater quantity in the queue. My son-in-law has them for his ‘special’ sneakers. 😂 Anyway, y’all are informative and funny!💞
Great podcast ladies! I love your knits and jolly natures. I don’t have anyone to knit with, so I knit while watching podcasts. Right now I am knitting A Hairy Llama Beanie by Roxanne Villemaire. I’m knitting it out of Lion Brand Wool Ease because it’s a gift knit. Happy Knitting!
The Letho is on my 2022 dream knitting list. Great episode, I love all the things you are knitting and plan to knit. I have some of the Corrie Worsted yarn, it is so dreamy and can't wait to cast it on. I am going to knit the Yesteryears sweater first. Thanks for the podcast recommendations, I am going to check out Sonder podcast.
So much fun hanging out with you girls in your LYS. Love to watch while I knit. I’m working on a pair of socks for my mom out of West Yorkshire Spinners. Happy New Year to you both! 🎉
Thank you! I have one skein of WYS in a Christmas colorway that I am anxious to try....might be called Fairy Lights? Tag us on Ig #showkimandjonna so we can see them!
Elizabeth Zimmerman (queen of knitting back in the day) teaches in one of her books to knit 6 stitches -with last ball and new ball together (as long as its not too thick of a yarn). So thats how I usually do it too… but if its 100% wool, I like to spit splice them together… works fabulous and looks a little better depending on the yarn… or if its stockinette stitch it can sometime create a “patch” look and splicing prevents that. 😊
Thanks Jonna and Kim, loved the episode and happily knitted alongwith you. Was working away on one of my four WIPs, alternating as necessary. They are Upper West hat by Thea Coleman, vanilla sock, Boho Blush shawl by Andrea Mowry and my Primavera colourwork jumper (sweater). I really do enjoy seeing what you have been working on and what you were wearing - gorgeous.
Wow! 4 WIPs!?! That would make Kim so anxious, but it’s Jonna’s norm. Please share your progress with us using #showkimandjonna so we can enjoy your work. ❤️ Kim & Jonna
Another great podcast ladies! Love seeing what you are working on. Ina future episode could you talk about what equipment you use for home winding your yarns? And favourite needles etc. thanks!
Ok, so I guess I’m sort of like Kim - I stumbled on your channel, heard you say you were filming in Pick Up Every Stitch, and went OMG! Then went and binge watched all your episodes. Lol! Now I’m ready for the 14th! I live half an hour from PUES (I’m too lazy to type that name again. Lol!). And I’m about half an hour from The Endless Skein in Cold Spring! So that gives you an idea of where I live. I’m so happy to have found you! Although I think you’re too enabling. I now want to knit the Letho (even though I’ve seen it countless times and have avoided temptation with it up to now), and etc etc. lol! I LOVE Marie Wallin (I knitted the Primrose and absolutely love it, I’ve knitted at least 3 of her sweater designs and two of her club blankets), LOVE Fruity Knitting ( I missed meeting Andrea and Andrew at VKL in 2020, wish I could have gone that year), and on and on. My thing is fair isle and stranded knitting. Steeking isn’t hard, and actually knitting color work flat isn’t hard either - it’s just a pain. I’m a bit older than you two but am still grandchildless, sadly. I just finished what I call my hip surgery half and half wrap (it kept me calm through two hip surgeries this past year, plus my recovery.). Right now I”m debating what’s next while I work on some cross stitch - I also love to stitch cross stitch samplers, and once in a while I do quilting too. Thanks for entertaining me while I binge watched you. Oh, and I wanted to say I’m a process knitter (I tend to neglect my knits once they are done, although I’m trying to be better about wearing them), a garment knitter in the main, a monogamous knitter most of the time. And I use Ravelry but not fully. Lol! Looking forward to tomorrow’s episode!
I have the yarn to make a Half and Half Triangle Wrap too! I'm happy to hear you're recovering well. Thank you for your sweet note! We call it PUES too!! Maybe we'll run into you one day!
first off kim and jonna I love your youtube videos. I have been binge watching them from the Beginning. LOL But Jonna you have mentioned that you used tick marks to keep track of your rows when making socks but that it doesn't always work out. I have a suggestion that I learned from Kay at the crazy sock lady. She uses the lighbulb markers and when she is knitting a leg or a foot she places a lightbulb stitch marker every 10 rows and then when she gets to the other sock all she has to do is make sure that the other sock has the same amount of stitch markers. Also then she doesn't have to keep counting her rows. I have started doing this and it is so much more accurate than measuring because sometimes I can stretch the sock a little more or less and it's not exactly the same. Any way hope this helps. Your socks are lovely JUilie
Thank you so much! Yes, I started using these when another viewer suggested it. I use them on my sleeves, too. For the socks, I just use one stitch marker and move it every 10 rows. Works for me! Thanks for watching! Jonna
Thanks you two! You've inspired me to challenge myself this year with my knitting. I knit my first pair of Vanilla socks last week and just started on my first ever sweater for myself today, the Felix Pullover. I don't think it's so much of a challenging knit , although I had never swatched or considered sizing for myself so I'm learning all about that also. Oh! That tubular cast on; had never done that so that was something new to learn. And I knit a slouchy lace pattern hat for a future gift this week also. Great tip on the yarn sub site. Thanks for sharing & Happy New Year!
I knit the Felix Pullover too! I love the fit of that sweater...it's the one I measure all the time so I can make my new sweaters fit similarly. What yarn are you using! Good luck!! ~Jonna
You ladies are such a thrill to watch and listen to. I like with when you start with “what are you wearing” because you give such great ideas for adjustments to colors. Ladies you are both rocking your hair.

That is awesome! I had to look up Swansboro! Felicia and Karen are a lot like that, too. Thank you for watching
Hi Kim just wanted to mention just how pretty that pink sweater looks on you!! The color is very striking & flattering the prettiest you’ve worn!!
Oh thank you!
Claudia is ABSOLUTELY knit worthy!
Heeeyyyyyyy!!!! Welcome! Isn't she just?? I could seriously mention her in every podcast. She's such a joy. Miss you!! (Jonna)

Great podcast! Unbelievable number of subscribers for a new podcast….. congrats!
Thank you!! We're shocked too!
Great episode. Really a relaxing watch this afternoon. Also just found Danish Musings a couple of weeks ago. Love the travel episodes as well. 🇬🇧
Great episode. Thanks for all you do, and for being you. Looking forward to clicking on a few of links. See you again soon.
Ladies, I am 1 year behind but starting back at Ep1 and loving every minute!
Thank you SO much!!
Oh, I’m so lucky to live just a 20 minute bus ride away from one of the most awesome yarn shops in Finland, Titityy! Always felt vety welcome there. 🥰
How wonderful!! I've always wanted to go to Finland because my name is somewhat common there, right? I get no end of mispronunciations here. Thank you for telling us where you're from.
Learn so much from you two beautiful women.
Thank you so much for telling us about your mistakes. Makes me feel like a normal knitter. Enjoy your podcast!

I’m enjoying this so much ❤

That's such a great idea! And I always think of it as I'm gifting it, but by then it's too late. Maybe I'll get some ready now for my next gift... ;) Kim

Greetings from Sydney, Australia, where omicron reigns. I am loving your episodes. Thank you so much for reaching out to your fellow knitters. Your projects are beautiful!
Oh, goodness. Yes, we're having quite a time here again. Mask mandates extended. Thank goodness for knitting, right??
Catching up on podcasts that I’ve missed seeing. Love to knit while watching you and so enjoy your energy, warmth, and encouragement of each other and everyone out there in knit land.

I do the same thing when I add in a new yarn 😁
Another fun episode. I love making socks and recently started doing toe up. On the needles I have one pair of socks another pair to make. The Alanis sweater and the first of 5 temperature blankets for my five grandkiddos. Looking forward to watching your next video
Oh, those temperature blankets are SO beautiful. Have you seen Stacy's from Stress Knits? Thank you for sharing.
@@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna I have seen her temp blankets. They are beautiful

Apart from the enormous amount of patterns I learn so much at times from reading other peoples pattern notes. The inspiration and learning has been huge as a result. It’s a daily ritual xox
I think we're the same! I find Ravelry to be so helpful when choosing yarn and patterns. I love looking at other people's projects and notes. I'm always disappointed when I see something beautiful and there are no notes. Ravelry is a fun rabbit hole!! Jonna
So much fun!
You ladies are SO DELIGHTFUL and refreshing!❤️
I love seeing all your projects, hearing the tips and info about yarn.
Maybe one day, you could talk about yarn that “pills” (and yarn that doesn’t pill), based on all your experience with knitting garments.
Also love and appreciate the amazing film editing (comments/pictures) that you take the time to do! It really adds so much!
I just started watching your channel and trying to watch them in order 😀. Binging them here in Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦
Hi Carolyn,
Thank you so much for your kind words and for the suggestion! We are so grateful for everyone who watches. Happy binging and knitting! ❤️ Kim
Thank you very much for the great entertainment! Watched all of your videos the last two days and cannot wait to see the next…Thank you! Kind regards from Germany, Daniela
OMG, Kim! I do same method when I join 2 yarns together, i knit 4-5 stitches both end and then cut thm 😄 if it's slippery yarn i leave those ends a bit longer so later I can wave them in on the wrong side
Woohoo! I'm not the only one. 😂 Kim
Thank you so much for showing your husband winding your yarn with the swift! I get my husband to do it too and he doesn't mind it and is better at it than I am! I showed that part of the video to my husband and told him that he wasn't the only one. Haha. I wanted to let you know a neat trick that I just started doing with my patterns that I am working on. I put the printed out pattern in a clear plastic pocket that my son gets for school. You can write on the clear plastic with a dry erase marker to mark the spot that you are on or any notes that you need to write down. Then you can erase it when you are done and your paper pattern is not all marked up!
😂 That’s actually my hubby’s best friend! My hubby was cooking dinner and I was winding yarn when his friend came in. As soon as he saw what I was doing, he asked if he could try. He loved it so much that he wound the rest of the balls for me! And thanks for the trick! I might try it. ❤️ Kim
Loved your podcast. Your tips are really great. Yes it’s a lot of time to spend with two people you consider friends who you don’t know. But when you get valuable Knitting instruction and entertainment along the way it makes it worthwhile. Thank you ladies!
Just found you two, and I am so grateful that I did. Your content is so up-lifting. Thank you for the all knitting, no politics podcast! Knit Together is a little gold nugget.... after going thru a lot of bedrock
Thank you so much! Nope, you won't find us talking about politics here!! Goodness knows we all have enough of that in our lives!
New here. LOVE that Kim's friend wanted to wind her Yarn!! Bring more men into Knitting 🙂
Thank you! I have enjoyed binge watching your videos this weekend while working on my husband’s Montrealer. My son (12) loves to use the the swift and ball winder as well.
That is awesome! I tried to get my grandchildren to do it but I couldn't compete with Minecraft!
I enjoy listening to you talk about your projects. Very inspiring. I also love the commentary on the bottom. It makes me smile.
Thank you so much!
Ladies! You are great! I am so happy to have found you! Thank you so much for all the inspiration! Many Greetings from Germany!
Welcome!!
I enjoy listening to two good friends sharing their process and products with us! I would love to hear what you both choose to do while you knit -- do you listen to an audiobook, binge on Netflix, or simply knit? I look forward to each Friday episode. Thank you for sharing your time, your friendship, and your talent with us.
Hi Pauline,
Both of us usually watch something (UA-cam channels, movies, BBC shows, etc.). :) Kim
I love hearing all the details of each particular knit you are making or have finished. I learned a lot from this episode and thank you very much. 😊
You are so welcome!
Sitting and knitting while watching you ladies always brings such joy! I love both of your sweaters, and my "to knit" list for 2022 keeps growing. Thank you!
🥰 Yay! We get the same joy from watching our favorite channels too. And our “to knit” lists keep growing every day! 😬
❤️ Kim & Jonna
Your podcast is great ! I enjoy knitting and watching it 😍
I would a suggestion for a first time sock pattern? First time watching and I throughly enjoyed it
Loved the episode. I would be so appreciative if you would do an episode on using Ravelry. I am like Kim when it comes to this. However I would love to learn how to put notes and really keep track of my projects.
Great idea! We have discussed it. We need to figure out the technology side of things in order to show the website on screen.
It’s such a pleasure to listen to you two! 🤩
You wanted to know about our local yarn store - my store is called ‘Woolstock’, it is situated in Copenhagen, 10 minutes drive from my home. It’s a yarn store AND a cafe! Which means that there are small tables, they serve coffe and cakes and sweets, and you knit and chat and help each other with knitting problems and you are surrounded by a lot of beautiful yarn which you can buy naturally! You show off your latest creations and get inspired by the other custemers’! It’s all so cosy and nice with a perfect atmosphere! Wish you could see it!
While watching your podcast I’m knitting on a ‘Bohus’ sweater - sooo exiting knitting!
Looking forward to seeing your next podcast! 😊
Thank you so much for describing your local yarn shop! It would be a dream to visit someday, but until then, we just followed Woolstock on Instagram. ❤️
And please show us your Bohus sweater by using #showkimandjonna! We would love to see it! ~ Kim & Jonna
I thought I made this up on my own! lol A few months ago I didn't like what my hem was doing. I took a US 00 60" circular needle to pick up every right leg of the stitches so I could rip back to where I wanted to restart. Since I've never had any knitting mentors until recently, I mistakenly think I make things up on my own. lol Kim and I truly share the same mind!
I just did this on my wedding ranunculus sweater! It's one of the reasons I love knitting! So easily modified. Sewing is less so but I still enjoy it.
So fun! Love the projects. I’m about to cast on a Birkin and a Bouquet sweater. Very excited. I keep all my knitting notes right on the paper patterns then put it in a clear sleeve with my swatch. I put them in a notebook for each year! Works for me 😊
Wow! That's a great idea and super organized! Maggie from the Sonder channel is making the Bouquet sweater, too. She's using the ladderback jacquard method for her floats. It looks amazing!!
Really enjoy watching your podcasts as I knit in the evening.
Love your podcast. Very enjoyable and helpful. Always looking for new projects.
Thank you so much!
You made my afternoon joyful! Such a treat even though I know next to nothing about knitting! Thank you! You warmed up a very cold day in Texas! Hugs n love, Mom.
Hi Mom! You're welcome. Dad watches too!
I’ve only recently discovered your podcasts and I’m loving every episode as I play catch-up. You two are simply delightful. May I ask about the sweater pattern on display behind Kim. Lovely.
Hi, thank you! It's the the Leisurely Slipstitch Sweater by Artyarns. The pattern is available from PUES with the purchase of Artyarns. Hope this helps.
So loving your podcast over here in Australia and how efficiently you present it. You said you ramble but believe me you don't. Some I watch go on and on about some stuff that can be a bit boring and I want to say "get back to the knitting" LOL. My current WIPS are a shawl, short sleeve top, socks, cashmere cowl, granny stripe blanket, granny square blanket and I'm about to cast on a Central Park Hoodie in Peter Pan Cotton (it's summer here). It's hard watching all my favourite podcasts from the US and UK as we're in opposite seasons here. My yarn stash is quite big and it makes me anxious as I'm not a quick knitter and just want to make so many things but there's not enough hours in the day. 😊💖
Welcome!! We're so glad you enjoy our channel. Yay for all the WIPs and no worries. I have a lot of WIPs too...I think we're going to do an episode on them, lol. Oh, and stash??? I have LOTS. So much that I'm a little embarrassed! Oh well. Stay tuned for that episode too! ~Jonna
Thank you for talking about your knitting! And for letting me spent my time with watching you.
Oh my goodness 😁I so enjoy listening to you both - the knitting problems and how you work through them helps me so much.
Thank you for sharing 😉
Love both your projects, and enthusiasm for knitting. Great.
Thank you!
As a retired Labor & Delivery RN & a "new" knitter (I learned how to cable last week)..... I am LOVING you two in the background as I knit, drink tea & ease thru my day. I am learning SO much from your vlog. My first attempt at two color knitting will be (I've already purchased the yarn & pattern) a pattern called "Meadow Moon", which I believe I saw on.Kim. Beautiful.... Thanks so much & keep up the good work. PS... I LOVE seeing the grandkids and occasional dog on the show.
Congratulations on learning to cable!!! And thank you for watching us. We’re so happy you’re learning and getting inspired. Kim’s Meadow Moon is one of her very favorite sweaters. When you start knitting yours, please share pics with us using #showkimandjonna so we can see your progress. ❤️ Kim & Jonna
I am always so happy to see another video of yours pop up. You all have inspired me...my co-worker/friend and I are starting a Stitch Club in our community so we can find more yarn-y friends to hang with. We are so excited and have gotten so many interests already. Sadly, we do NOT have a yarn shop in the whole St Louis region. It's terrible so we have been daydreaming of opening one next to the bookstore that we both work at. We shall see!!! Keep up the rambling...I love it!
Wow, that would be amazing!! Can you imagine buying yarn for work?! Fun. You can always give Felicia and Karen a call at Pick Up Every Stitch if you need anything. I lived in Clayton before moving here to NY and I loved it. I didn't knit when we lived there, though. Thank you for your kind comment. ~Jonna
@@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna We moved to Webster Groves, MO (about 10 minutes from Clayton) about 10 years ago and I have heard there were a few in the area but have closed. It's such a bummer!
Lovely to see another episode from you both! Kim I’ve seen or heard of that method of joining in yarn by knitting 5 stitches or so double before maybe from Steven West? Thanks for another great watch 😊
Yay! I’m not the only one? Whew!
And thanks for watching! ❤️ Kim
So glad I found your podcast. Is there a Ravelry group? That's one way to connect and see what your viewers are working on.
Thank you! No, we don't but I'll look into it today! Great suggestion. Jonna
I love your rambles!! It is how we get to know you both better so don't stop. It is early morning here in Tokyo and I am so happy to have you as company while I knit on my Nomad Hood by Paula Strickt in Sandnes Garn Double Sunday in Kelly Green. I am almost finished with it and hope to be able to wear it soon with my caramel colored wool coat and my navy puffer jacket. The sweaters you are wearing are both gorgeous and I love how you talked about them in detail. Have a lovely start to the year ladies!
Wow! You’re watching from Tokyo? We’re constantly amazed that anyone wants to listen to us ramble about knitting. 😂 ❤️ Please share your projects with us using #showkimandjonna! Happy New Year! And keep knitting…
Kim & Jonna
Jonna, that new cardigan has me listing after it! Wow, and I thought I was so clever to knit a hat sideways! I hope it's in the notes below. That Scandinavian hat is AWESOME Kim! Really fun episode- you two make me miss in person friends.
I wish I could say I am working on my Letho, but I got sidetracked by the Nordiska!
So glad for the happy accident of finding your podcast!!! SOOOO enjoy seeing you both!!
Yay! The best kind of accident. ❤️ Kim & Jonna
Wow! So glad I found you! You are kind of like the Grocery Girls with good knitting info!! Love the purple hair and your sweaters!!!
You girls are a breath of fresh air! I love your podcast. Thank you so much 😊
Our pleasure!
Lovely to sit and knit with you, probably hotter here in New Zealand than in New York at the moment though! Loving your podcast and your fabulous knitting content.
Oh, yes! It's -7* C here with snow on the ground! Thank you for your sweet comment.
Hi. I am really enjoying your podcast and your relaxed format. Love to see your projects but equally love your chatter about random things like hair colour and shampoo😊. Getting lots of ideas for future knits.
Haha, thank you!! I'm sure we'll have more of that chatter as we relax!
Hey ladies!! Loved your show! Your knits are gorgeous!!!! 😻
I just bought an 8 pc set of “ShoBro” clear, plastic, stackable boxes that fit a pair of mens sneakers. The front acrylic door flips down and is magnetic at the top. I think they will be great for either separating fingering and sock yarns by fiber content or to hold a sweater quantity in the queue. My son-in-law has them for his ‘special’ sneakers. 😂
Anyway, y’all are informative and funny!💞
Thank you! ☺️
And those storage boxes sound very similar to Kim’s. It’s nice to be able to see what’s inside at first glance. ~ Kim & Jonna
Another wonderful episode! Hugs from Italy :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Oh girls!! I’ve just binged all of your episodes and enjoyed them SO MUCH❤️. Hugs from North Florida 🤗
Yay!!! That makes us so happy. ❤️ Hugs from NY! ~ Kim & Jonna
Thank you! Perfect for a snow day here in CT!!
You're welcome! Did you get a lot? I think we have about 4+ inches here in northern Westchester.
@@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna Danbury…so about the same as you!
Love your podcast
Excellent episode, lots of good information.
Glad you enjoyed it
Lovely podcast ladies! Xx
I just found you two! You guys remind me of my knitting Bestie and moi. Big Knitters Love from Provence, France.
Hi Gazelle,
So happy that you have a knitting Bestie too! ~Kim & Jonna
Another great episode ladies. Love the projects your working on especially that letho. Btw I love the bloopers at the end so funny
Thanks so much! We like them too, lol! I really need to pick up my Letho again now that I CO my Ranunculus. I can't wait to wear it.
Thanks for the podcast. I just wanted to let you know I also knit both strands of yarn when I join. It is not lazy it is smart.
Haha!
Great podcast ladies! I love your knits and jolly natures. I don’t have anyone to knit with, so I knit while watching podcasts. Right now I am knitting A Hairy Llama Beanie by Roxanne Villemaire. I’m knitting it out of Lion Brand Wool Ease because it’s a gift knit. Happy Knitting!
We're so glad you're knitting with us! UA-cam is so great for that...I do it too! ~jonna
Yay I was missing the "super" You gals are doing great 👍 I ❤ the rambling, we speak the same language 😅
LOL! We will happily oblige! ~Jonna
You two are absolutely awesome. I love the energy. I have found another podcast to love.🥰 Terrie (aka TerrieDeer)
Thank you!!
Great podcast. Adding you to my list of favorites.
Love your podcast! Thanks so much for making it!!
The Letho is on my 2022 dream knitting list. Great episode, I love all the things you are knitting and plan to knit. I have some of the Corrie Worsted yarn, it is so dreamy and can't wait to cast it on. I am going to knit the Yesteryears sweater first. Thanks for the podcast recommendations, I am going to check out Sonder podcast.
Currently work on the Flax sweater m for my hubby , the Everyday Holly Socks and a crochet blanket.
Wonderful! I've thought about making a Flax too and I'll check out the socks. Thank you for saying hi!
So much fun hanging out with you girls in your LYS. Love to watch while I knit. I’m working on a pair of socks for my mom out of West Yorkshire Spinners. Happy New Year to you both! 🎉
Thank you! I have one skein of WYS in a Christmas colorway that I am anxious to try....might be called Fairy Lights? Tag us on Ig #showkimandjonna so we can see them!
Elizabeth Zimmerman (queen of knitting back in the day) teaches in one of her books to knit 6 stitches -with last ball and new ball together (as long as its not too thick of a yarn). So thats how I usually do it too… but if its 100% wool, I like to spit splice them together… works fabulous and looks a little better depending on the yarn… or if its stockinette stitch it can sometime create a “patch” look and splicing prevents that. 😊
I have a few of EZ’s books. Maybe that’s where I learned it? But I’ve never spit spliced. I’ll have to try it sometime. ❤️ Kim
Love your podcast! Thank you!
Thanks Jonna and Kim, loved the episode and happily knitted alongwith you. Was working away on one of my four WIPs, alternating as necessary. They are Upper West hat by Thea Coleman, vanilla sock, Boho Blush shawl by Andrea Mowry and my Primavera colourwork jumper (sweater). I really do enjoy seeing what you have been working on and what you were wearing - gorgeous.
Wow! 4 WIPs!?! That would make Kim so anxious, but it’s Jonna’s norm. Please share your progress with us using #showkimandjonna so we can enjoy your work. ❤️ Kim & Jonna
Another great podcast ladies! Love seeing what you are working on. Ina future episode could you talk about what equipment you use for home winding your yarns? And favourite needles etc. thanks!
Great idea!! We will put it on the list!
loved this . love your hairs
Thank you!!
Another great episode. Y’all inspire me!
Ok, so I guess I’m sort of like Kim - I stumbled on your channel, heard you say you were filming in Pick Up Every Stitch, and went OMG! Then went and binge watched all your episodes. Lol! Now I’m ready for the 14th! I live half an hour from PUES (I’m too lazy to type that name again. Lol!). And I’m about half an hour from The Endless Skein in Cold Spring! So that gives you an idea of where I live. I’m so happy to have found you! Although I think you’re too enabling. I now want to knit the Letho (even though I’ve seen it countless times and have avoided temptation with it up to now), and etc etc. lol! I LOVE Marie Wallin (I knitted the Primrose and absolutely love it, I’ve knitted at least 3 of her sweater designs and two of her club blankets), LOVE Fruity Knitting ( I missed meeting Andrea and Andrew at VKL in 2020, wish I could have gone that year), and on and on. My thing is fair isle and stranded knitting. Steeking isn’t hard, and actually knitting color work flat isn’t hard either - it’s just a pain. I’m a bit older than you two but am still grandchildless, sadly. I just finished what I call my hip surgery half and half wrap (it kept me calm through two hip surgeries this past year, plus my recovery.). Right now I”m debating what’s next while I work on some cross stitch - I also love to stitch cross stitch samplers, and once in a while I do quilting too. Thanks for entertaining me while I binge watched you. Oh, and I wanted to say I’m a process knitter (I tend to neglect my knits once they are done, although I’m trying to be better about wearing them), a garment knitter in the main, a monogamous knitter most of the time. And I use Ravelry but not fully. Lol! Looking forward to tomorrow’s episode!
I have the yarn to make a Half and Half Triangle Wrap too! I'm happy to hear you're recovering well. Thank you for your sweet note! We call it PUES too!! Maybe we'll run into you one day!
Love your podcast, so glad I found you guys.
first off kim and jonna I love your youtube videos. I have been binge watching them from the Beginning. LOL But Jonna you have mentioned that you used tick marks to keep track of your rows when making socks but that it doesn't always work out. I have a suggestion that I learned from Kay at the crazy sock lady. She uses the lighbulb markers and when she is knitting a leg or a foot she places a lightbulb stitch marker every 10 rows and then when she gets to the other sock all she has to do is make sure that the other sock has the same amount of stitch markers. Also then she doesn't have to keep counting her rows. I have started doing this and it is so much more accurate than measuring because sometimes I can stretch the sock a little more or less and it's not exactly the same. Any way hope this helps. Your socks are lovely JUilie
Thank you so much! Yes, I started using these when another viewer suggested it. I use them on my sleeves, too. For the socks, I just use one stitch marker and move it every 10 rows. Works for me! Thanks for watching! Jonna
Thanks you two! You've inspired me to challenge myself this year with my knitting. I knit my first pair of Vanilla socks last week and just started on my first ever sweater for myself today, the Felix Pullover. I don't think it's so much of a challenging knit , although I had never swatched or considered sizing for myself so I'm learning all about that also. Oh! That tubular cast on; had never done that so that was something new to learn. And I knit a slouchy lace pattern hat for a future gift this week also. Great tip on the yarn sub site. Thanks for sharing & Happy New Year!
I knit the Felix Pullover too! I love the fit of that sweater...it's the one I measure all the time so I can make my new sweaters fit similarly. What yarn are you using! Good luck!! ~Jonna
I love the Felix Pullover andthe Cardigan version - good luck!
so refreshing, love that you give such helpful information, and keeping to knitting!!! wonderful, can't wait for the next one. Happy New Year!
Thank you so much!
