Jodi! That sweater is my very favourite one I have ever seen you wear! Goes so nice with your hair and your glasses. You look styled and put together ❤❤❤
We drove across America last year (on holiday from UK) and visited Magpie Fibers. They were lovely and the building itself is really interesting. Even my non knitting husband enjoyed visiting there. The young lady was friendly, chatting about the different wools and never stopped knitting herself, as she walked around, totally amazing.
I so appreciate that you bring such a variety of makers, products, patterns, to our attention.
Oh my gosh, my husband’s eyebrows were creeping up into his hairline during the dickie conversation……. Because of course, I am dying laughing. I ask him if he knows what a dickie is, and he says “yeah….. the rubber boots right?” Which made it even funnier…….
😂
Frankie Grey Fibers has such amazing yarn choices! I’m always so inspired watching you two. Happy knitting 💚🧶💚
I drove my 35 year-old son to every chemo for 5 months and stayed with him. The saddest day was one where a young man was telling the nurse he took the bus to and from (can’t imagine going home on the bus after chemo) and went through it alone. 💔 My Vietnam Veteran husband has been having chemo for 12 years. I also drive him. He’s an Agent Orange vet and our son has an Agent Orange leukemia/they found the genetic defect. So heartbreaking 💔
I had to look this up. Google said that it's a herbicide used in war. So did it alter your husband's genes, and that's how your son ended up with this type of cancer? How traumatic for you all
@@estherlupton9378 yes. My husband has had cancer 5 times. Agent Orange was a defoliant they sprayed on trees so they’d lose their leaves and they could see to bomb. My Navy husband was signalman on the front of the boat that went up the Perfume River the day of the Tet Offensive. They were shelling the Citadel in Hue. When they couldn’t diagnose my son for 11 months, one doctor asked “was his father in Vietnam?” Because we are starting to see weird blood tests in the children and grandchildren of Vietnam Vets. Took until 2017 for the VA to acknowledge that not only Army were exposed.
Cutest pinch-me moment for the Frankie Grey collab, how special! That pink fade is spectacular !! 🤩
I just love watching y'all and all the pretties! I just have to knit all the things. I'm on a sock knitting kick currently. Love, love that eucalyptus yarn color! THANKS!
You two have found the magic elixir for skin..you look radiant and beautiful❤
Thank you for keeping me company today 💞💞
I’ve had my Lumos Lumos for over a year and absolutely love it! Very good purchase. I’ll advertise for them for free too. lol
Love seeing you ladies again. Rock on!
Am i the only one who was playing “where’s Waldo with the sea foam green yarn? 😂 it seems you ladies love that color. 😆 it is in the shelves and then Jodi brought it out. 😂 it’s such a pretty color, I am going to have to buy one and pair it with a beautiful navy blue… so amazing 🤩
I bought that Gem sweater as soon as it was released. I can’t wait to cast it on! I also just finished knitting another Irene Lin pattern- Lana Vest
Jodi!!! You are killing me. Your makeup is beautiful. I have the same color hair and skin tone as you. Sooo...I had to order some. As if buying yarn isn't bad enough!
Traci, you have the most amazing ability to put colors together. I always love your color choices!
The back and forth teasing and banter today was INCREDIBLE. You two had me laughing so much on this episode! Thanks for all you do to support so many makers, small businesses and people going through hard times. I almost teared up with Tracie. My mom succumbed to cancer and the loss is still hard. Your honesty and realness is heartwarming.
Aaaaww i love you guys and your cute little faces. Your podcast is something I always look forward to and draw inspiration from. 😊❤
Tracie, I admired your Misurina in person when we met in Montana. Stunning!! You wear it well.
Row Counters from Twice Sheared Sheep are wonderful!!
That green colour of the sock yarn that Traci loves looks like a great dup for a vintage green colour from the 30s and 40s.
I missed the last bit of your fab podcast girls!😢 loving your amazing knits and Jodi's stunning yarns ❤❤❤ can I also just say that your skin, both of you, looks so beautiful! So gorgeous!
Thanks for the Ravelry tip on gauge search 😊
OMG! The picture of the Wave sweater - it's mine! You can only imagine my surprise! Watching your podcast - my favourite knitting podcast - and seeing my own sweater featured
Great podcast as always 😊
Such an enjoyable podcast of knitty things. You always make me feel like I’m one of your best friends even though we’ve never met. ❤️
I love Traci’s hair. I thought that when I signed on. I really liked Jody in the wilder glasses. What happened to them. I wear different style glasses and am 74. I get compliments all the time. Even from my Ophthalmologist’s receptionist. They are a bit Harry Potterish, but when I misplaced them and wore my wire rims, everybody missed them. You should try it,Jody. My sister and I met you at 2016 or 2017 Stitches West. A blood cancer took her life in 2022. I had started knitting again so we had something in common We lived California vs Indiana. I will always remember the joy my sister felt meeting you crazy two. She was (as my father always said) “a bit off bubble..” This was a statement relating to a carpenter level. She was a hoot. You never could predict anything she did. You were her favorites
Oh goodness, my sister/knitter/quilter/friend died in 2022 as well. Jodi and Tracey’s interactions remind me so much of my relationship with my sister!
You two are so awesome! Love sitting and knitting and laughing with you ❤
Jodie that all over lace sweater you like would look beautiful in that stormy color yarn on you!
❤😊 What an inspiration you two are!! Thank you! My mind is twirling with colors...
Great episode, as usual. I know you both seem to enjoy using Spin Cycle yarns and also like to champion other small business yarn companies. You should really check out Junction Fiber Mill and their Making Tracks yarn that's a similar look to Spin Cycle. I'm not associated - just a fan of their story of how they got together and started up a small woolen mill.
I love junction fiber mill! Gorgeous colors and a wonderful mill. 🧶🧶
Thankyou so much. I never knew those advanced filters were therein Ravelry! So helpful ❤️
Hi from Omaha NE, it's Saturday and I'm just watching your podcast. I wanted to share that I just got my Frankie Frey Fibres kit for the Cheryl Faust cowl (I love her patterns) in Parchment & Onyx. The yarn is so lovely I can't wait to start knitting this project. Thank you so much!
I meant Frankie Grey --- oops!
Love your podcast - do t change a thing! I feel like you are chatting with friends ❤
Il Makiage is wonderful! I love the mascara and the concealer is amazing. I usually put it on under eye circles and it blends so well I don’t need anything else
I love the video… you both are very talented! Your sweaters are just beautiful. I don’t know how to knit, but I’d love to learn 😊
One day hopefully…
I just knit the Sonja sweater. It’s Aran yarn and I LOVE the folded double collar. I say do it!
Yes! Usually if you have to ask the question, you already know the answer. I used to do that at work (sewist) all the time but you just need confidence in your own gut.
Love your videos you two are so inspiring thank you so much ❤❤
Another very entertaining/thoughtful and informative podcast ❤
I really love the heirloom quilt cardigan.
Traci, you need to watch Leslie Friend's "a Friend to knit with" packing episode. She nailed it.
Great episode!!❤ Jodi your skin looks amazing. I am tempted with the drunk elephant 🤑. Both of your hair look phenomenal today.
I thought of something funny make it into a night gown for winter or when you get sick. Love you girls
I love how you say Mum!! Very British
Possum in NZ is different than our opossum here om the US Ive read.
hey Tracie, Thanks for turning me on to "The Traitors". Its's excellent. Since you filmed last I have binge watched all of them; USA, Australia (my fave), and UK (least fave, bunch of babies, lol). So Good!
What a great episode today girls 😍 I'm especially happy to see the Portuguese yarn as we're going to Lisbon in a couple of weeks. Apparently there are two great yarn shops within easy walking distance of our hotel 😅 I might have to leave all hubby's clothes behind so there's room in the suitcase for my new yarn 😂😂😂 Love Tracie's sweater, I'd love to make one but it looks kinda advanced, might be to difficult for me. Anyways love ya ❤❤
Love the yarn wall !!!
hi, you two! thank you for the smiles & giggles (45 mins in) ❤ Jodi, maybe for your Port sweater, a thin stripe of charcoal right before casting off in the yellow. Just a thought; whatever you decide is going to a-ma-zing!
Jodi if you listed your projects in ravelry you would have been able to find your shawl in a hot minute😂
Both of the sweaters are beautiful 😍 you ladies are amazing. I truly enjoy your podcast and all the knowledge we get 😊
Tracie what is the name of your cups you been using recently
Jodi looks so nice.. beautiful skin and hair looks 😊
Bergere yarns are still available.
Wow--What a treat to listen to you two while I am knitting my Moby Slipover, which I love, but is intense. Tracie, I had to laugh when you said you hair is is plastered with product. I feel like that everyday!! And, Jodi, keep going with letting your hair grow out. I love the beauty tips! I may have to get that bronzer. Woolfolk is a luscious yarn!! I made a t-sweater with it that I love!! Congratulations Tracie for the collab with Joji!! What about using your Louie and Lola yarn for that Renaissance sweater? That one grabbed my eye as well. I can't wait to hear about your Ireland trip. I love packing You Tubes. We are going on an UK cruise in late August and I have been watching my share. Can't wait to see what you have made in 2 weeks!!
You should go to custom wooden mills. So interesting.
Jodie, for your sleeve stripe look at the Varsity Sweater by the Lamb and Kid.
I made the vest that Joji has coming out soon with Les gros held with mohair! ❤
You guys. I held strong and didn’t buy any patterns or yarn, tempted though I was. But you broke me with Il Makiage. Took the test. #35. Dammit!! Lol😂😅😊
I love the hot weather but if my core body temp rises I get really horrible hives and anaphylactic and need epinephrine also happens if I get to cold it also happens as well started during my first pregnancy prior would only get heat rash so no matter where I live I’ll be screwed 😂🤦♀️
I enjoy watching this Knitting podcast but unable to catch you live! I have emailed you both several times but no response to questions regarding tips on knitting sweater for the first time and which style would be the easiest to knit?? Marlo
Wish I could afford a sweater quantity of Frankie grey fiber new base dream since my husband passed away just can't afford any yarn bummer
Hi Jodi, I love your nail color. Do you mind sharing the color and brand please? 💕
Love the socks - why kind of heel construction did you use?
Jody your yarn is beautiful love Barbie girl
I don't see this discount on your sweater bundles?
What’s the name of Joji’s shawl? I couldn’t find it.
Just a note to let you know that around the 2 hour mark Jodi said the word "gypped", which you probably don't know is a racist slur against Romani people. The Romani (aka gypsies) have long been discriminated against because of negative stereotypes of being thieves and much worse. I know this is a common expression in English, due to the fact that most people don't know the meaning behind it. I'm confident that this was not intentional, and I thought you would want to know. It can be very painful to hear for people like me that are of Romani heritage.
How many sweaters do you have in your closets? I really want to know. LOL.
Possum yarn is cruel. What do you mean don't dive too deeply into it? If possum yarn is mentioned then surely the fact that the possum are killed should be brought to the fore and not swept under the carpet?
Ages ago you used to espouse the fact that the pompoms you used were not real fur and therefore acceptable but it's okay to use yarn from butchered animals?
Have I got that right? Fur from slaughtered animals is a no-no but yarn from slaughtered animals is A-okay?
