I'm a first time watcher. Loved it! I loved seeing all your knits and hearing about the yarn. I'm very inspired now to knit an Andrea Mowry pattern.
The little spool is for working the heel of the sock. You use the sock and spool together and it makes a thicker heel. I love using that! Love watching you girl. Great to have you back.
Thank you, Ruth! We have never seen this before and it’s a great idea!! ☺️❤️
Great episode. Watched on Monday, favourited the Destination Unknown cowl. Tuesday drove to The Knitting Loft in that crazy rain, picked up the yarn needed to make it. Got home just in time for my basement to flood. That cowl will forever be a reminder of summer 2024 in southwestern Ontario.
Oh no!! Sorry to hear you got flooded. 🥺Hope you enjoy knitting the cowl at least!!
Just now watched your podcast. I always love when the 3 of you get together.
So happy to see your podcast pop up! Life can be busy, so thank you for taking time to share your lovely knits with us. Your podcast is always fun and inspiring. ❤
Thank you, Susie! So glad you enjoyed the video. ❤️
So great to see you ladies with all your beautiful knits. The akward moments are super endearing ❤ have a wonderful summer 😊
Thank you and you’re so sweet! I’m sure there will always be awkward moments. Seems to be how we roll!! 😂 Hope you have a nice summer as well! ❤️
So nice to see the three of you back. I so enjoyed hearing about all of your current projects. Wishing you all the best. 😊
Aw, thank so much!! Hope you have a wonderful weekend and summer!! 😊❤️
June, Patty, Kerry, thank you for a lovely podcast, full of inspiration for knitting this summer❤😊
Thank you so much, Marietta! Enjoy your summer knitting. 🧶☺️
Oh my! Did you pick me? I was so surprised to hear yukonviv! Yay! Ok continuing with the rest of the podcast , I just finished telling a friend I was going to do something that made me happy today and that I was going to watch your podcast. O😊M😊G five minutes in and I totally happy. Thank you so much. You three are so terrific.
Yes, we picked you!!! Congrats!! 🥳 So glad we made you happy and you’re very welcome. ❤️
So happy to see you ladies back. Loving all of your make. I hope you are doing well June. You girls enjoy the remainder of the summer. It is very hot here in Pensacola Florida.😎
Thanks so much Angela! ❤️ We are all doing well and are happy to be back! Hope you are staying cool in air conditioning and enjoy the rest of the summer too. 😎
Hello ladies, I’m always so happy when I see one of your podcasts pop up in my feed. Your knits are beautiful. Have an awesome summer! -~ Pamela
Thank you so much, Pamela! Hope your summer is wonderful as well!! ❤️
Another WOW episode. I’ll watch whenever it suits you.
My major takeaway from this episode: I’m knitting Birch Trees, a lace scarf. I stopped knitting, opened and completed a Project page.
If I had done this, for the bazillion unfinished projects, they’d be done now!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart and knitting basket!😂❤
Thank you Ann! ❤️ And you are most welcome! We all need a little encouragement to get some of those WIPs off our needles. 😀 Looking forward to seeing your finished Birch Trees scarf!
It is so great to see you back! Beautiful projects as always. Wishing you a lovely summer and happy knitting 💗
Thank you, Marie! We hope you have a wonderful summer as well!! 🥰
Very happy to see another podcast. To be honest, I spend most of the year knitting Christmas gifts for my family, but I have been thinking that I need to knit myself some cardigans, so Patty’s new projects were very timely. No need to apologize for not podcasting more often. I am retired, and I know that I would never be able to find the time, but I’m glad that you do, even if you can’t do it as often as you like. I would love to know what technique Patty uses for knitting, as she seems to be able to knit, not only well, but with the speed of light. You all choose such great projects. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
Yay, hope you enjoyed the video! That’s so sweet of you and your family is very lucky. I agree!! You should knit something for yourself and a cozy cardigan sounds perfect. Time has been limited lately but it’s always a great day when we can find the time to vlog because we enjoy it so much. I’m an English style knitter and thrower not a picker. I have been knitting for a very long time and with lots of practise I have been able to increase my knitting speed quite a bit. I knit almost every evening and hardly does day go by where I haven’t knit at all. Thanks for asking and for watching our video!! 😊❤️
It's so great to have you back! I really appreciate podcasters who are in the same life stage as myself and have the same concerns about fit, ease and wearability as well as a similar style. June, you look AMAZING in that color! Somehow, I think I must have missed your last video. Off to find it now! Saludos from Spain😘@lamanchaknitter
Thanks so much! 😊❤️
Thanks for taking time to podcast, mussed y’all and all your gorgeous projects!
Thank you, Melissa! ❤️
It is great to see you all again!! So wonderful to see all of the beautiful projects you completed and are currently working on. I might make a couple of the halter tops for my daughters.
Thanks so much Gwen! ❤️ We had lots of fun sharing our projects. Great idea to knit the halter top for your daughters! It’s a super cute pattern.
Nice to see you all again! The yarn that has a spool of thread included is reinforcement thread for sock knitting. You knit the thread together with the yarn when knitting the sock heals and toes to reinforce and strengthen them.
Thank you, Karen! Oooh that makes so much sense. We have never seen that before and it’s such a great idea. We appreciate you letting us know!! ❤️😊
So happy to see you Ladies! Thank you for lots of inspiration! You all do such beautiful work!
Thank you, Marie! Glad to hear you enjoyed the video. 🥰
so excited to see a new episode with you girls, i missed all the giggling!! lots of gorgeous cowls to see and sweaters, i am knitting cardigans at the moment, one for myself and a birthday gift for my Grand daughter, i do like having socks on the needles in the warm weather, already knitting gift socks to give to the family at Christmas, as you say, time does fly! hope to see you girls a bit more often, sending love across Lake Erie to you! ♥♥♥
Hi Lynn, we are so happy to record a video! We really miss doing them regularly and hope to get back on track again. I’m loving cardigans lately but it’s always great to have socks on the needles in the warm weather. It’s very nice of you to knit so much for your family. They are very lucky!! Hope you have a wonderful summer!! 😊❤️
Great to catch up,,,🎉🎉🎉
So much fun,,love all ur projects,
ELAINE 🏡💕
Thanks so much, Elaine! ❤️
Very happy to see you all again. I enjoy seeing your inspiring knits whether finished or in progress.
Aw, thank you so much Deb! ❤️
I have all three of those books and love them. The petite knitter lives in nunavut and she is on one of the islands thst is part of the arctic archipelago.
Nice! All three books are fantastic. Thanks for the info about The Petite Knitter. 😀
Hello friends! Enjoyed your podcasts, your projects, WIPS and all of the other goodies. Have a wonderful summer and thank you for this podcast. ❤
Hi Janet! Glad to hear you enjoyed our video and thanks for watching. Hope you have a nice summer as well!! ❤️
I missed you too. So glad you are back!
Awe, thanks Paula. 💕 We’re glad to be back too!
So great to watch another episode! As always so much inspiration! I’m happy to know that you are working to have more regular episodes.
Thank you, Gail! Glad you enjoyed it.
😊❤️
Thank you for a lot og inspiration as always. The small spool in the Lang Yarn is to knit in when you knit the heel to make it stronger. If you like the Line yarn from Sandnes, you should really try dubbel Tynn Line. It gives you a even better fabric. Smiles from Norway
You’re welcome and thanks for watching! Yes, we have figured that out and think it’s a great idea. Holding Tynn Line double is a great idea and I’m going to try it! Thanks for the suggestion!! 😊❤️
Hello! Great to see you all again! Loved all the FOs and talk of wips!
Thank you so much, Judith! ❤️
Ooh, I'd really like to try that Artfil Suri...I've never knit with Suri before. So happy to see a new episode pop up 😊❤
It’s so nice! I’m looking forward to casting on with it. Hope you enjoy the video!! ❤️
The Renunculous works up nicely on DK yarn
Good to see and hear you, you made my Saturday 🥰
Aww, thank you! Enjoy the video. ❤️
I've missed you. Thank you for your newest podcast. There are so many great knits. I'm not sure if you're up to another cowl, but the Maurice cowl by Twinset and Purl just came out and is beautiful.
Aww, you’re very welcome! We will check out the pattern. Thanks for the suggestion! ❤️
Lovely knits. Happy summer!
Thanks Donna. ❤️ Happy summer to you too! 😎
I’ve knit 3 Ranunculus in DK. TURN OUT GREAT
Missed you all! Glad to see you back!
Thanks so much, Cathy! We missed everyone as well and are glad to be back!! 🥰❤️
So nice to see you again! Hope you are all well.
Thank you, Kathy! ❤️
So good to see you again. I always enjoy your vlogs.
Thanks for watching!! ❤️
I've done a ranunculus with just sport weight 100% merino, nothing held with it, and it's one of my favorite sweaters. You can find it in my projects on Ravelry under theyarnrandomizer there. I'm not sure how just fingering would work out, might depend on the plumpness of the yarn after blocking. :)
Thanks so much for the info! There’s so many options it’s hard to decide, lol. I think some swatching will help! ☺️
So good to see you ladies!
Thank you!! 🥰
Hi Karri xx you detail you pink ranunculus in episode 46 where you said about the length and that you used knitting for olive yarn in flamingo in their fingering and mohair xx
I just found your podcast and it was great to see your knits !
Awesome and thank you!! 😊❤️
It’s to carry with yarn for heel
Hi ladies: Thank you very much for another lovely episode! What an awesome treat to watch!
Thank you for the lovely WIP Along prize! Unfortunately I have been in a knitting funk, very excited to see what spring/fall tees I will able to knit with the lovely yarn prize!
I have been on a spring/fall tee kick lately because I’ve only started knitting a few last summer. I bought a few patterns, but have found the right yarn.
I love all the wonderful FOs, WIPs, and acquisitions! It is very inspiring and now I have more projects to add to my queue including Patty’s stripe tee and a shirt sleeve Ranunclus. I’ve knitted two long sleeves ones for colder season, always wanted to knit a short sleeve one!
Wish you ladies and families an amazing, relaxing, and restful summer! Happy knitting and stay cool!❤❤
Hi, so glad to hear you enjoyed the video! Love knitting tees this time of the year and there are so many nice ones to choose from. Wishing you a relaxing, fun summer as well. Happy knitting!! ❤️
So good see you ladies back again, lots of fun inspiring knits!! Enjoy your Summer. 😊
Thanks so much Judith! 🥰 We hope you enjoy your summer too!
It's so great to see you lovely ladies again! That ball of sock yarn with the spool of thread, I believe you can hold the two together when doing the heels and toes. It adds extra durability in those heavy wear areas. I knit a pair of socks with this yarn once, but was just as confused, so didn't use it. 😅
Thank you, Marg! And thanks for the info about the thread. I was surprised to find the it in the ball of yarn!! 😂 It’s a great idea.
Great to see you all, happy summer! It cracked me up to hear June say socks are so much work when you're all producing so many many beautiful sweaters 😂Guess it's all relative. Just started your Sweet Serenity Shawl in cotton and I'm hoping to wear it while we still have summer!
Haha, that’s so true Sheela! The struggle is real when knitting socks for some but sweaters take up a lot of knitting time!! 😂 I’m thrilled to hear you are knitting the Sweet Serenity Shawl and looking forward to seeing how it knits up in cotton. Happy knitting!! 🥰
So good to see you ladies again, I always enjoy your pod cast.. years ago we use to take the train to Toronto and one of the stops was London always wanted to take a stop and explore your city..love your country…
Thank you, Judy! We are glad to be back. We love taking the train to different cities. It’s so relaxing!! Maybe someday you will make to London. Enjoy the video!! ☺️❤️
I think the thread is to reinforce the heel
Yes, I think you’re right! ☺️
Hello Ladies, It’s nice to have you all back. Have a wonderful summer!
Thank you! You too! ❤️
Berroco remix light makes a nice Ranunculus
Thanks for your suggestion, Becky! ❤️
I look forward to your podcasts! Keep them coming please.
Thank you, Sharon! We will do our best!!! 🥰
So happy to have you back again!
Aw, thank you Gail! We are happy to be back. ❤️
The extra thread is for reinforcing the heel and toes of the socks. So while knitting up the heels and toes you carry this extra strand along with the yarn for durability.
Thank you, Patricia! That makes perfect sense!! 😊
the spool thread in the sock is to knit along with the sock yarn in the heels to make them stronger
Thanks, Wendy! We were a bit confused but it makes perfect sense!! 😊
It’s lovely to see you again ❤
Thank you, Donna! Hope you enjoy the video!! ❤️
If you are going to be in the haliburton area you should drop in and see me as I own the yarn shop on the Main Street in Haliburton! It’s called JanKnits Studio
Hi Janet! I’ve been in your store before and I will for sure drop in again!! 😊❤️
Welcome back🩷
Thanks so much!! ❤️
Loved all your makes. It is hard to see what you are showing on your phone.
Thank you! We will try to remember to hold our phones closer to the camera next time.😊
I've been hoping to see you ❤
Thanks, Kathy! I was so nice we could finally podcast again. We hope you enjoy the video!! 😊❤️
I have a question. If I don't have any wip I want to finish can I call using deep deep stash avwip. This whole year i have not boughtbany yarn. I have finished 4 sweaters and am on the home stretch for 2 more. One project I have been working on was to frog a very old tein set I knit 20 or 30 years ago. Thatvwas a project! It was knit in pieces so there were two pieces for the sleeves sweater and 5 for the cardigan. I wound the yzrn in balls as I was frogging. Then winding all this yarn on a niddy noddy to make a skein and finally soaking and drying the yarn to recondition it. Wondering if projects knit from this could go in your mal.. also have yarn inherited from my mother-in-law and she died more thsn 20 years ago and I don't know how long she had the yarn. If thrse don't count I won't be able to rnter yout knit along.
Yes, I think that counts since it is a WIP that you are repurposing. It’s fantastic that you are planning on using yarn you’ve had for that long!! It does sound like it was quite the project! It’s also great that you will have knit 4 sweaters this year from your stash yarn! We would love for you to join our KAL and look forward to seeing what you plan on knitting. I also love hearing that you’re planning using yarn from your mother in law’s stash. Those will be very special projects. ❤️
Hi on social media Fleurdelace knitwear from Sonoma, CA . Is the yarn you mentioned with the thread a sock yarn? I think you hold the thread double with the yarn when knitting the heel to reenforce.
Hi Karen! Yes, it is a sock yarn and that makes perfect sense! Thanks for letting us know. What a great little addition to a skein of yarn. 😀
👏
🥰
What was the name of the last FO shawl by sweater freak? It was the 2 yarn combo (one yarn was mohair).
Hi Helen, it’s called the XO Wrap. It’s a very soft, lightweight wrap and I’m so happy I’ve finally finished it. I highly recommend knitting it!! 😊
I live in the Forest City! In the east end. I love to knit.
It’s always nice to hear from a fellow Forest City knit girl!! Happy knitting!!
🧶❤️
