I used to love sewing when I was younger because it was so hard to find tall sizes back in the 70s & 80s. In fact, I even made my own prom dresses. And, you are right - it's so messy, and much more physically tiring than knitting. But the results are so much faster (I write this as I am eyeing my mother's sewing machine in the corner... You're such an enabler, Jonna!).
You are absolutely right about anchoring your yarn ends in when crocheting. I do the exact same thing and it works like a charm. Another awesome video! Lots of love ladies!
Hi Jonna Loved this Video and all the brilliant makes and WIPs you showed us. It’s so enjoyable to see everything that you create, and can’t wait to see your crocheted Granny blanket. Take care and have a lovely weekend. 👵 x
You have such a calming voice and speak so well without notes. You must have taught or lectured in your "working" life. Love to see that we all have untidy workspaces!
Thank you...it never feels that way when it comes out of my mouth! I guess I have done a fair amount of presenting, professionally, though I've never felt comfortable doing it! Oh, yes, I have a big mess waiting for me when I get back from FL. I just shut the door on the sewing room and didn't look back!
Hi Jonna, this is my 1st time commenting on your channel, but have been watching and loving it since you both started it. I knit and also sew. You had spoken about all the stuff needed for sewing in a small space. In the last couple of months, I moved from a 2000 sq ft home to a one bedroom apartment. My quilter friend suggested the adjustable 4 ft white folding tables sold at Sam's. The height of the tables adjust low enough for children, the height of an average dining room table and the height that accommodates those of us that stand and cut fabric. I bought 2 of them and set them up in a small space against the wall in an L-shape. One has my cutting mat and the other a rectangular ironing board that I made DIY. There are many UA-cam videos on how to do this. Just a suggestion. Love your top! Sheila
Great update! Thanks for sharing your sewing and fabric stores. I’ve crocheted several granny square blankets in big box store yarn, but now don’t want. Beautiful knit cardigan too.
What a nice surprise to see your video today. I wasn't expecting another video for a while since Kim has been in Italy! I always love to hear about your knitting, and thanks for sharing your sewing. I might just have to make some of those pants or shorts!
Thank you so much for the catch up Jonna. You and Kim each make my day, together or seperate. About the granny blanket in your house, I think if you use colors that are not 'jarring' to your color scheme, it will be just fine. It's lovely to have a little handmade touch to even the most designer decor. And I think it would be fit in quite well with your seasonal items you add in. Besides, every one deserves a cozy, homey blanket to snuggle up in! The colors you've shown so far are just beautiful. I look forward to seeing it when its done.
Toys we would love to play with: our Bible study group did a gift exchange one year where we picked names and then purchased a toy we thought they would have loved to play with when they were younger. We then donated all the gifts to a local Christmas charity; so much fun!
I come here for the knitting content and your warm personalities, but I do love your sewing features as well. And thank you so much for all the sewing resources links. So many knitting and sewing projects, so little time....
Your crochet project is looking beautiful, and if scrappy/random doesn’t suit your aesthetic then perhaps scrappy monochromatic is your sweet spot? You seemed especially pleased with the shades of green square. I’m loving the question of what toy would you play with as an adult, and realize that my crafting is both a place/time for playfulness and enjoyment (exploring new techniques, fibers, colors, shapes). Hoping that both you and Kim are well and finding good Summer fun and time enough to fully relax.
It was fun to watch your podcast, so thank you. I was also inspired by Sarah to start crocheting a granny square blanket. I am making the one she has draped over her couch. I could not crochet, but long live UA-cam tutorials 😄 I thought I had a lot of sock yarn scraps, but hey! it takes loads more than I had expected 🙃so it is a good project to get rid of al your leftovers. I now know how addictive crocheting is. Can't stop anymore!
I love your pink top & shorts. I sew a lot for my grandies and the hubster's 'happy' pants (he loves wearing loose, brightly printed pants) but rarely do I sew for myself. I also love watching It's.A.Sarah podcasts, but I watch her Dutch episodes as I'm Dutch myself... yeah, I'm crocheting granny squares too, she's inspired me, and a good way to use up all the bits of leftover project wool.
I am like you re crocheting on the learning curve, I would really recommend hooked by robin continuous joining of granny squares it’s amazing, she seems to have tutorials on everything crochet, changing colours weaving in ends everything you can think of. Love your sewing projects and catching up on your WIPS. Best wishes Frances
Oh thanks Jonna, made me blush! My husband was sitting next to me reading the newspaper and I said listen listen 🤭🤣 I’m like you, no muslins, no tracing paper, baby swatches (unless it’s super important then I’m a good girl) life is short, time is precious, play hard! My hair is grey, it makes my mum laugh as she colours her hair still. I used to get my haircut once or twice a year when it was very long. Your hair is so lovely 💕 This will make you laugh, I cut my own hair, and my husbands, using my old dog clippers and a pair of scissors. I’m not good, just determined and cheap 😬😆 it’s just another craft project really! I’d rip back and redo the uneven neck too 😣🫤 when something bothers me I know it’s worth the redo, plus I have no hair these days to hide it. If I did have hair though I’d probably keep knitting. Thanks for another fun episode, Karen 🥰😘
Your new hair cut looks great. I didn’t realize you had so much natural color. Mine grayed like that as well, but I wear it short. In reference to your sewing your granny squares together…..one of my knitting group friends does mostly crochet bags to sell. She learned to do the mattress stitch and just loves the way it looks with no seam like on either side. I would never have thought of using it in crochet. It does look great. I also took a class on how to crochet the squares together, but you do it while you are crocheting the last round of the square.
Your new hair cut looks so lovely ~ and the color is so beautiful. I am a sewist from childhood, but have not yet come back to it. That said, I'm working in a LYS, Nina Chicago, which also sells fabrics. So I imagine I'll get back into it sooner than later! But I agree, sewing does become such a spread out affair, with lots of threads ending up all over the place. For now, more knitting and crocheting!!!
I so enjoyed this. I haven’t sewed in a while and have been challenging myself to do more. I have been a crocheter for years and always loved granny squares even when they weren’t in season. I do have a colorful granny square afghan that is framed in black…it fits right in my vintage home. I started working on a granny square afghan for my bed several years ago and set it aside…it was just so big I got burned out. The Zoria is a lovely sweater…so daunting though. The colors for your academic are stunning…can’t wait to see it finished. I’m awful at putting together colors so I usually follow colors that others have used. Hope Kim had a great trip!
You've inspired me to use my sewing machine more often despite how much mess it creates - you're so right about knitting being a very clean craft, haha. Also, I gasped when I saw your Academic vest, it's been a while since you've shown it to us (completely understandable with all the issues you've had with it) and I forgot how gorgeous it is! Definitely looking forward to seeing more of it in the future updates, glad to know it's no longer an UFO 🛸 Side note, the "rz" in Marzena is pronounced similar to the first sound in "joie de vivre", it's a Polish name! Kołaczek is pronounced something like "kouacheck" (or at least that's the best I can do with transcribing it into English, Polish doesn't make it easy...)
Beautiful projects! My mother made a granny square blanket back in the 70's. I know the colors would not be close to anything I would want, but I still wish I had it. I can't wait to see your Academic finished. Everytime you mention the Pamona pants, I pull up the pattern and dream of learning to sew! Thanks for the catch-up and the inspiration!
You are so right!! Sewing is so messy! I am a beginner and just cut out a jumper with pockets...also purchased the Gypsum skirt pattern. I sew at my dining room table and threads go everywhere.
Not a fast job to edit and include pictures or videos. I just watched your Episode as my son is editing my video. I appreciate all the help 😮 Loved to see your finished blouse and the fair isle project is absolutely stunning!
There is a UA-cam video about joining squares with slip stitch. There are a few methods. Granny squares are so open to colours and patterns. Love your blouse and also love arne and Carlos. My toy would be a doll house. Please keep making your lovely podcasts xx
When you change colors on your granny square makes sure you turn your piece so you are going front to back or your pieces will look wonky. Your squares are gorgeous! Your hair cut is beautiful!
I watched a tutorial on this. Does this mean some of the WS is on the RS? I guess I should give it a try. I want to try blocking them. I borrowed a granny square blocker from a friend, so we'll see.
I would love to see how you do your provisional cast on with a Barber Cord. I love my Barber cords!!❤ I’ve never done a provisional cast on and very intrigued. Your knitting and sewing projects are so inspiring and beautiful. Thank you; From a fellow Bay Area knitter.
Love your podcast! That is funny you brought up your provisional cast on! I am making a cardigan that has that exact same start and I've spent HOURS trying to make it perfect. I am making my sweater with mohair and wool so you know you only want to start that once! :) So I got some other yarn and practiced! I practiced over and over and watched every you tube imaginable... That is the way it comes out... with a twist in the stitch... so... dont undo it! :)
Jonna, could you undo the stitches that join the two sides of the back, then knit a few rows until the one side matched the other and join them again? You'd be off by one stitch because you'd be knitting in the opposite direction, but I don't think it will be visible. I'd try that first before frogging the whole thing.
@@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna Let us know how it works! Honestly, though, I don't think anyone will see it, particularly as you leave your hair down most of the time.
Really enjoyed your podcast today. Makes me want to pull out my sewing machine! Alas no can do right now. Still unpacking and reorganizing my home. I was away for a year and a half taking care of my mother. Boxes everywhere 🤪! Want to start doing some granny squares, Grocery Girls have a summer MAL for anything made with granny squares. They had a cute bag pattern they showed that I would like to do. Love the color work vest! Beautiful colors. ❤️❤️
Jonna!!! Before you frog your Zoria....have you considered asking another knitter to try to fix your neck stitches that "bother" you? If you are going to frog it anyway, it may be fixed to save you some hours of knitting. It is just a thought and maybe you have thought of it but don't want to ask? I love all of your creations and I still want to make the April Cardigan. I also watch "It Is A Sarah" - LOVE her.........and how genuine she is. I agree with sewing being messy and knitting being more relaxing and easier to pick up and put down. I had to laugh at your sewing set up - matches mine - ironing board in one bedroom, sewing machine in another. Our kids are grown & married....their bedrooms are being put to good use. Thank you for all of your starting and stopping in this episode - you make it look easy to those of us who haven't ever tried to podcast. I hope Kim is having a relaxing time in Italy and a safe trip home. 🧶
Thank you for your kind comment!! Another viewer also suggested I try to fix it. I’ll disconnect the two fronts and take it to PUES and see if Karen can help!
Great episode! Love your haircut too -- I noticed it right away. :D. My daughter is heavy into sewing now -- she just started sewing in January and loves it! I need to get her to make me something. lol! I've made her quite a few knitted items, including jumpers!
I really enjoyed seeing all your projects. Your Imby top is so cute on you. I am off to my Copy Shop tomorrow to get it printed out and will have a go at making it next week on my school holidays. Wont be able to wear it for a bit as it is winter here but that's ok. It will get worn eventually. I like some of the suggestions for your Zoria top. It would to see if you could experiment with fixing the back section before ripping the whole thing out. Thanks for sharing your makes and all the details. :)
Regarding the long hair- during Covid mine got longer without me noticing. I was using the leaf blower to clear out the gutters and my hair got sucked in the intake. It was like the hair dryer menace but on steroids and on top of a ladder. Learned a lesson- tie back my hair.
Always love watching what you’re crafting. Thanks for all the sewing resources. Btw, how is your skirt coming along? I’m planning on knitting one as soon as I finish a couple of wips. Can’t wait to see yours! 🥰
Don’t worry Jonna, I am always ripping back. If I am going to make it I like it to be right😀. That said I did find an error in my Dustland cardigan sleeve(when it was almost finished) and it is staying there. I had already ripped out half the cardi to change the armhole length🤣🤣🤣.
Sorry for our delayed reply. We've been having a very fun, but very busy summer. However, Jonna talks about using her knitting cord for a provisional CO in a current project in her August CatchUp-isode which airs TOMORROW, Friday, August 11th at 10:00 am EST. Maybe comment on that video and she can make suggestions there... ❤️K&J
I enjoyed your podcast, I do look at its a Sarah and I started following her so funny in a good way. Those granny squares are contigous. I made a couple and still making.❤😅😅😅
I've always wanted a granny square cardigan too snd Sarah has inspired me too. But... Did you know that she didn't do as many rounds? She's so small and the larger ones were too big ( I hope I heard it correctly.) so I'm going to make smaller squares, maybe 4"? I've chosen shades of grey, black and white because I don't want it too busy. I wear black pants and black in my dresses so fingers crossed ☺️ your pink top is so fresh. The style doesn't suit my shape. I just look pregnant lolol!
You're rather wrong on the pronunciation of Marzena Kołaczek. the "rz" is a bit like "si" in "vision" or "Asia"; try this: Muh-SIA-nuh Co-WA-check Also, ribbing in two directions from a provisional cast on will never look perfect! When you start knitting in the other direction, you're in a way moving half a stich to the side
Thank you for the correct pronunciation! And, it’s less about looking perfect and more about it being off-center because I tried to “fix” it by unraveling. I’ll see what can be done!
Hi Jonna, I suggest you restart the zoria before you frog it. Then compare if the new one really looks so much better than the old one. I think because this part is ribbing it will always looks a bit strange… I love this minisode. ❤️🧶🇨🇭

The pink top is really nice, and the color is very flattering.
Beautiful hair style. Love the layers, you look younger ❤. Like your dress, pink color it looks soft on you👏👏🌸🌸
Thank you so much! (that's always nice!)
No apologies needed!! Love seeing all your beautiful knitted and sewn garments😊

Jonna please before you frog..try a crochet chain to cover the cast on you are not happy with! It covers many a bumpy area!!
Beautiful job!
You are so multi-talented!
Jonna your hair is really beautiful. Nice cut
I love your sewing content! Especially like that you are short waisted like me and I am super interested to see who things work out for you!
It's a challenge, especially with dresses!
Thanks for all the helpful content! Love your inspirations!
Your hair looks great, your projects beautiful, and it was nice to see you Dad (sort of)
Haha, yes, thank you.

It would to see if you could experiment with fixing the back section before ripping the whole thing out. Thanks for sharing your makes and all the details. :)
Thank you. Yes, I've had some thoughts about how to fix it since I recorded this episode. I just need to find some time!
Regarding the long hair- during Covid mine got longer without me noticing. I was using the leaf blower to clear out the gutters and my hair got sucked in the intake. It was like the hair dryer menace but on steroids and on top of a ladder. Learned a lesson- tie back my hair.
YIKES!!! I've had it sucked into the end of a hairdryer, but oh my. I'm so glad you're OK!
Love your UFO-WIPs 😂❤ they'll be terrific. I think Kim has influenced you to use a bit of neon 😉 really loved the sewing projects, too
Lovely episode! Wishing you a happy midsummer from Sweden🌞
You did an amazing job with the shirt and shorts. I love it!!
Thank you so much!!
Thanks for a sweet podcast 😊
Thank you for the sweet comment! It’s been fun to read the lovely comments while I’m vacationing.
Always love watching what you’re crafting. Thanks for all the sewing resources. Btw, how is your skirt coming along? I’m planning on knitting one as soon as I finish a couple of wips. Can’t wait to see yours! 🥰
I actually haven't started it and now I found a different skirt I want to knit. Watch my August CatchUp-isode to hear all about it. ❤️ Jonna
You look gorgeous in that pink!!!! The whole outfit looks fab on you!
Thank you so much!! I wore it in Florida and it felt very appropriate!
Never apologize, you are amazing the both of you. Love the episode. Look gorgeous on pink 🩷
Love your top. Did you list where you get your patterns printed?
I think I put it below, but here you go!

What a beautiful color on you!

Hi, Marzena is Polish, Hugs from Poland
Your hair is beautiful, as are your whips!!
Thank you!
Don’t worry Jonna, I am always ripping back. If I am going to make it I like it to be right😀. That said I did find an error in my Dustland cardigan sleeve(when it was almost finished) and it is staying there. I had already ripped out half the cardi to change the armhole length🤣🤣🤣.
Yes, sometimes, you just have to live with it! I would have done the same.
I’m in your position with granny squares and want to make the sweater also. I watch Sarah, love her podcast. She suggests watching your podcast also.
Would you consider showing us how you do the provisional cast on? Thank you for the wonderful video. ❤❤❤😊
Thank you 💕 this tutorial from Twice Sheared Sheep is good!

New hairdo Jonna looks pretty, pink top very pretty too x
Hi Jonna, can you recommend any knit videos that use the provisional cast on with a barber cord? If not, can you make one?
Sorry for our delayed reply. We've been having a very fun, but very busy summer. However, Jonna talks about using her knitting cord for a provisional CO in a current project in her August CatchUp-isode which airs TOMORROW, Friday, August 11th at 10:00 am EST. Maybe comment on that video and she can make suggestions there... ❤️K&J
I enjoyed your podcast, I do look at its a Sarah and I started following her so funny in a good way. Those granny squares are contigous. I made a couple and still making.❤😅😅😅
So fun!!
Can you tell us who you use to print out your patterns? TY
Yes! pdfplotting.com/
❤love the catching yo with Jonna
Have you been to Banksville Fabric in Norwalk?
No! It looks amazing though. I’ll be checking it out asap! Thank you 💕
I've always wanted a granny square cardigan too snd Sarah has inspired me too. But... Did you know that she didn't do as many rounds? She's so small and the larger ones were too big ( I hope I heard it correctly.) so I'm going to make smaller squares, maybe 4"? I've chosen shades of grey, black and white because I don't want it too busy. I wear black pants and black in my dresses so fingers crossed ☺️ your pink top is so fresh. The style doesn't suit my shape. I just look pregnant lolol!
I should have gone back to listen to her episode where she talks about the blanket. I can't wait to see yours! Those colors are up my alley, too!
Block it first and see what happens!
You're rather wrong on the pronunciation of Marzena Kołaczek. the "rz" is a bit like "si" in "vision" or "Asia"; try this: Muh-SIA-nuh Co-WA-check
Also, ribbing in two directions from a provisional cast on will never look perfect! When you start knitting in the other direction, you're in a way moving half a stich to the side
Thank you for the correct pronunciation! And, it’s less about looking perfect and more about it being off-center because I tried to “fix” it by unraveling. I’ll see what can be done!
Hi Jonna, I suggest you restart the zoria before you frog it. Then compare if the new one really looks so much better than the old one. I think because this part is ribbing it will always looks a bit strange…
I love this minisode. ❤️🧶🇨🇭
Thank you. I might undo the join and see what I can do.
