I missed what y’all are wearing😊

It’s always such a pleasure to see you three podcasting. Thank you for your knowledge, enthusiasm and inspiration ❤😂 Terry

Loved this podcast, especially the short row section. And also the beautiful harmony part. There is something about rural areas that just makes me so joyous. Gorgeous footage. Tell Ken he doesn't need to worry about any pressure - he has proved himself!

I started watching your podcast a couple weeks ago and decided to start at the very beginning and now have a few episodes under my wing and I’m definitely enjoying the podcasts and what you share about your life on the farm. My brother and his wife just moved to PEI 3 years ago and have a Im hoping property out at Beach Point so nice to see what is around them. Thanks for the engaging presentations

Always wonderful spending time with you ladies! And thank you Ken for another Harmony Part. Loved the virtual walk in the fields!

Love watching all the way from Sydney Australia. I wish we had more opportunity to wear handmade knits, our winters are too short and not very cold, but I love to knit and relax watching your channel and have started from the beginning as well. Keep up the fun and laughs xx

About colour dominance: the colour you hold to the left will be slightly more prominent than the other. This is because of the direction we knit in. But it's not as if you have to pick one colour to be dominant in the entire project. It's easy to switch midrow. A friend was taught to always hold the colour that had the least number of stitches in the row to the left.

We love 5 crowns!

If you ever want some other button suppliers that are very different, look at Arrow Mountain Designs, Pigeon Wishes, Ethel and Joan, and Jazz and Wow. All are very unique and beautiful in their own way.

Cabbage is such a great vegetable. Totally under rated. Love raw sauerkraut, for example.

I like how in the Rioux pattern, Jennifer Beale tells you which colour should be the background colour. I hold that one in my right hand and the dominant colour in my left hand.

Aimee Sher is the designer who was on Fruity Knitting. She includes bust darts in her patterns. So do Ysolda Teague and Rebecca Clow. Always enjoy your podcasts.

CONGRATULATIONS Kim on your new family member...how is the cat with him? Great episode as always. 🥰🇨🇦Sharon.

A fun packed video. Thank you. 🇬🇧

I love your podcast. So much interesting knits. I love that shawl. I may try that for a bridal shawl for my future daughter in law. Wedding next June! Have a great week.

Love your sock Betsy - hope they fit perfectly and you don't need to make any adjustments.

I have heard the stitchmarker short row called Japanese short row or is this different than the Sunday short rows?

I have always heard that the colour you want to be dominant should be held in your left hand and non dominant colour in right hand.

Of all my socks, the ones I made with Point Prim make me the happiest and last for longer than any of the other yarns I've used. And they are wonderfully warm with the mohair. I actually use 2.00mm needles most of the time. HUgs

cocoknits has good directions on adding bust darts(short rows)

Wow! 2.25mm for socks! I use US 00! (I tend to be a bit of a loose knitter and I like my socks to almost stand up by themselves! Betsy, your extra fabric in the ankle might be because you have too much heel. Adeline is adorable! Kim, congrats on your new doggie! He's gorgeous! And enjoy making music again! Simone, our Rieu is amazing! I can't wait to see what lace goes around it.

I was left literally speechless by the beauty of the Harmony part. Each one of Simone's pictures depicted a different mood of the island in colour and composition, from the clear blue skies reflecting on a placid river to the dark brooding sky over the ocean. They were just beautiful! And then came the video of the sunrise over the waves - my goodness!! Through it all , we were carried away by the evocative notes of the wonderful piano piece. What a gift you gave all of us. You not only gifted us with sharing the beauty around you, but also in the time you dedicated to recording the podcast not once but twice. For that we are so very grateful. You managed to stick it through and get the task done, with the charm, camaraderie and humour that is now a trademark. Thank you for bringing peace and beauty to our lives.💖💖💖

Shoulder cap on sleeves can also use short rows!

To help with the potential hole on the side of gusset, I twist the picked up stitches on the first row. Tightens it all up nicely.

There is so much content in this podcast, loved every minute of it! Thank you so much.❤

My daughter is a golden retriever breeder. She loves them. Enjoy your puppy.

Elizabeth Zimmerman recommended adding 2 or 3 sets of short rows, distributed along length of sweater. Posture, lack of female endowment, and often just being male causes sweaters to ride up in back. ( Next time you're in a public place, check out of frequently this is true for sweaters and sweatshirts on a variety of frames.) Adding these short rows can help with this problem. I have learned that it is necessary for me and my body to do this.

Great to see you gals!!

Hello ladies, a puppy! How sweet 🐾 Betsy your sock it’s lovely. I knit socks all the time and love it. Measure your feet to get your size ❤

You ladies are the best! Thank you for another episode and thank Ken for that beautiful Harmony section. Love the music that was put to it.

Simone- you could use some of that leftover yarn and your favorite motif from the shawl to knit a sock cuff…

Why not 2 at a time Socks??

I am so curious about the Sunday Short rows. I've never enjoyed short rows and I don't find them invisible so I will be checking this out. Thank you so much! Love your channel so much. I'm always excited to see another episode pop up.

Loved the Harmony. I was waiting for the gold and then when it came, WOW!

When we vacationed in PEI last August we stayed in an amazing AirBnB on Tracadie Bay and really enjoyed Fin Folk Food & Harry's Dairy Bar. Unfortunately it rained during most of our visit to PEI, so we didn't hike/walk and hit the beach the way we had planned, but we loved the island and can't wait to return.

Congratulations on your rescue pup. Sorry for your lunch Simone!😅

Wow! I can hardly choose my favorite part- patterns, colors, discussions, laughter. The Harmony Part! Wow!

Kim what is the name of the sweater you are wearing? It is gorgeous. I did not see a time stamp…"whatever we are wearing"

As we age, the need for short rows changes. It is better to do them at the top if you have kyphosis from osteoporosis fractures. The new generation of younger people who are always looking down at their phones will need more short rows because their posture is a head forward and down position. Putting short rows after a colorwork section prevents the colorwork from sitting level on the body; putting them at the top makes the colorwork sit level with the floor, even though it starts farther below the ribbing on the back neck.

Colour dominance became a reality for me when I knit “Striped Mittens, Variations on a Theme” by Robin Hansen in her book “Ultimate Mittens”. She uses yarn dominance to create the appearance of colour change without actually changing the colour order. Of course Simone and Kim are correct knowing how it works can help you eliminate it when unwanted.

Earthtonesgirl has a great 9-part sock making tutorial on her youtube channel. Love the new dog. Goldens have such smiley faces!

Thanks for the Woolcast ladies. I am learning all the different short row techniques. Fun to try. Beautiful golden Harmony section.

I'm volunteering at Knit City Calgary and as I walked around during set up I saw Sandy with Firefly Notes and her beautiful Advent Calendars. I told her I had seen them on your podcast! Hope to chat more with her today! Lovely Lady!

As much as I love you ladies and the podcast, please tell Ken he does a great job on the harmony part behind the scenes. 😊

The Harmony part this time was also lovely and so beautifully matched with the music. But...I thought we were going to see the dog running free through the fields! He must be so happy for having found his forever home. Thank you girls for the great podcast (and to the director behind the scene too).

Just received my advent calendar and 10 and oh my gosh I don’t know how I’m going to wait till December aargh. I was so afraid when you said you had to peek that you were going to give us spoiler alert and I had to close my eyes in my ears.😂

As always a fun, fun video…love all that you share! So, so lucky to be a part of such a special team! Thank you!

I want the stormy overcast skies from the harmony part in a colorway! Fantastic skies…ok, the sunshine on some of those fields was pretty great too, but them skies were me for sure. Your lack of proper “skins” today was duly noted ;). Good luck, break legs in these last set up weeks of festival!

The colour work knitting is just spectacular. I'm in awe of the tenacity necessary and obvious expertise required to knit a Katie Beale pattern. Top notch. Gorgeous colour pallet. I have yet to knit socks. The fabric created is just gorgeous. Love the alternating colours used. Adeline is definitely a possible cast-on for me. Would love to know more about the animals on the farm. Love the chat around them. Thanks all of you. Another super sit and knit-talk. ❤❤❤

Great podcast (as always!) I love how your little crochet sheep is still in the background - even when you are in your kitchen 😊
