    The description of the funeral category had me in tears. That was hilarious.

    I’ve been enjoying catching up on all of your videos. I’d love for you to interview your mom. You’ve mentioned she’s who taught you to knit and I’m guessing an inspiration. 🧶

    i love the funeral pieces and the cartoon character uniforms 😂 i use stitch markers to track my rows of stockinette, i started marking every 5th row and now i mark every 10! it’s a lot easier to keep track and doesn’t require me to mark the row immediately after i finish it. hope this makes sense lol

    Great episode! Love the Q&A knit chats and would love more about your mom teaching you and how you improved your knitting over time! 😊

    I'm a mom of twins and they are my only kids, and I get asked all the time what's it like to be a mom of twins! I also get asked about fun twin stories I have and how I can tell them apart, they are identical. I always say that being a mom of twins is all I know and don't know any different!! ❤

    @notaclue822 Před 5 měsíci +4

    That was highly enjoyable. I find it easier to distinguish you two after some regular viewing. Your knits are beautiful and I have discovered new designers from watching. It's nice to meet your cat. Thank you for posting.

    I so enjoy your podcast. I've never thought of myself as a non-twin - a bit like a Muggle maybe !!

  • @ladyjacquiehawey5191
    @ladyjacquiehawey5191 Před 5 měsíci +6

    Hi! I'm an identical twin and there is another way to find out if you are identical or fraternal. It relies on your mom's memory from your birth. If there was only one placenta you are identical. Two placentas = fraternal. Maybe your mom remembers and can tell you.

    • @thosetwinswhoknit
      @thosetwinswhoknit  Před 5 měsíci +1

      Oh that is good to know! We asked our mom and she is confident there was only one, so the signs are pointing to us being identical in that case!

    • @ladyjacquiehawey5191
      @ladyjacquiehawey5191 Před 5 měsíci +1

      @@thosetwinswhoknit Well, you really do look identical and you're mom would remember if she had passed 2 placentas 😁. My sister and I find that we go in phases of looking like each other, so maybe you're in the phase of looking a little less like each other and will swing back to being almost exactly the same.

    • @nataliealexander7457
      @nataliealexander7457 Před 5 měsíci

      My younger sister found out that there are two placenta in 1/3 of identical twins. Depends on how early the dividing happens. Identicals are always different, yet somewhat also similar people.

    • @nataliealexander7457
      @nataliealexander7457 Před 5 měsíci

      If there is one placenta, it is identical, but it doesn't work in reverse.

    I love watching you girls! I keep hoping that I’ll make it to KC sometime where we could meet! I live in Wichita. Loved the Q &A section today.

    • @thosetwinswhoknit

      We keep hoping to make it out to Wichita one of these days, so hopefully it’ll work out on one side or other eventually! 🤍

    I enjoyed your comments about your knitting bags and what’s in them. I too have a random collection of bags I’ve saved over the years- nothing special but they all can hold knitting! No special markers for me either- I too prioritize purchasing yarn! Love the notebook too- I like pencil and paper and have no interest in any of the knitting apps.

  • @Thomas_mic

    Always enjoy watching your podcast, love your beautiful knits! After watching one of your earlier podcasts, I am knitting the Kelly sweater with the suggested yarn from Sandnes Garn. I am doing the 1x1 rib on Jessica’s suggestion! No split hem either…I do love the yarn, it blocks out so beautiful and soft! A perfect lightweight knit😊

    • @thosetwinswhoknit
      @thosetwinswhoknit  Před 5 měsíci

      I’m glad you’re enjoying it!! I had such a good time working with that yarn and wore it several times when it was cold out, and loved it! 🥰

    I can relate to people coming up to me confidently like they knew me. When I was teaching elementary school, parents would come up to me when I was out running errands. On Back to School night, I met 60 parents or more, and stood up at the front of the auditorium at the start of the night, so hundreds of parents knew me by name. They only met maybe one new teacher that night, so they remembered me. I would just greet them cordially, but sometimes have no idea who they were.

    Great episode. I’ve been knitting baby knits for gifting. Avid garment and sock knitter. I’ve recently cast on the hibernal dk weight socks holding fingering and mohair and they are decadent. Totally recommend

  • @kathyellis2506
    @kathyellis2506 Před 5 měsíci +1

    Always love your knits. And they seem to always be so beautifully blocked (maybe you should do a demo!). I feel like I have a lot of wips but they are all on the downhill slide. A pair of boring socks for my dad, the Ilha sweater in Debbie Bliss pure silk, the Tanaka in Malabrigo Mecha bulky, the Caroline shawl, and the Maja cardigan. I can’t wait to cast on the Ester jacket and the Golden Sand shawl!

    This was such a fun episode! If you ever do another one of these, I would love to see more of your knits from before you started the podcast and hear about how your style has changed over time. I love all of the things you both make!

  • @jackienadler4648

    Loved hearing about your knitting and your personal lives. I am curious to know whether you both got married in the same year and what your husbands are doing. Thanks for your inspiration. I love your Esthetics.

  • @Elizabeth-sj2qy
    @Elizabeth-sj2qy Před 5 měsíci +1

    Hi Rachel and Jessica! It was fun to hang out with you. 😀I loved hearing about your top 3 knits and twin stories. I am knitting the DRK Everyday Sweater in Rowan Alpaca Soft DK. I am super sensitive to wool. I thought this yarn would be okay but just tried it on and it was itchy.😢I will continue though and hope that it softens up with washing.

  • @oldwitchknits-Ursula
    @oldwitchknits-Ursula Před 5 měsíci +1

    What a fun video! Love your funeral category 🤣 I am wearing my just finished sweater no.28 (has the same neck design as Jessica's sweater but its very drapey and I really like it) and I am working on my 70% finished cardigan no.8 and my just started Sofie wrap sweater.

  • @sarahwadas3395

    Hello there! Your podcast is one of my absolute favorites to listen to and I just I love your aesthetic and style. I would say that I’m an intermediate level knitter, and so I still have a lot to learn. One of the biggest questions I have right now as I start to build my wardrobe is how do you store all of your many knits? Do you hang them up, or do you store them away in bags to keep them safe from overstretching and moths? Do you wash them frequently, and if so, do your just hand wash them in a tub? I am always curious about where people put their knits and how they handle them as I think they are so much more precious than store bought clothes…

  • @leitesta1725
    @leitesta1725 Před 4 měsíci

    What a lovely video. Thanks for sharing some of your life with us and definitely your knitting, which is beautiful.
    I am about a 3 WIP max, too. I currently have on the needles a pair of vanilla socks, a Felix Cardigan and the Papillon Shawl. I do have a 4th WIP, but it is a very long term scrappy blanket - the Sweet Shop Blanket by Laura Penrose, which I only knit on it at night before bed. So I don’t really count it 😊
    Take care!!

  • @verylikecheryl
    @verylikecheryl Před 5 měsíci +1

    Such a fun episode, thank you x
    I can’t count either. I have part of an old necklace chain with large links on a lightbulb stitch marker and I notch it along a link every time I knit a row. I add another stitch marker to count the tens if needed. Because I have it at the BOR or swap it to the end of every row if knitting flat, I have to handle it each time I finish a round or row. That means I don’t forget. It’s pretty foolproof and the only thing that works for me.

    I am working on the phases sweater by Jennifer Berg, it’s too big, cus I didn’t swatch, but I am going to finish it, as I don’t feel like frogging all the colour work, it’s my first colourwork yoke, and you can tell☺️. My next one is going to be one with shorter floats! Thanks for chatting with us, love all your choices of knits, and yarns .

    My twin and I are also A and B personalities! She also has books of crossed off numbers and I count my rows. She’s a scientist and I’m an analyst so fairly similar careers but I just can’t do the notebook thing like she does 😂

    You are definitely identical twins. I' know a lot of paternal twins, and they never look alike. Even identical twins have differences in looks and personalities. You made me laugh about having a cat and yarn and are ready for retirement. It's great!
