So good to see you both! I signed up for the mkal. Hope I can do it.

First time viewer…..am subscribed, and will check previous episodes. Love your esthetic and your conversation. Looking forward to more. 78 y/o knitter from Wisconsin.

Hi Joy & Janet, Nice to catch up. I prefer to know what I am knitting so I typically do not participate in Mystery Knit Alongs. However, I will be joining yours.😊❤

I’ve done lots of mystery knits but I really prefer to know what I’m knitting.

Enjoyed your podcast

Hi Joy and Janet! So nice to catch up with you while I knit and enjoy a cup of tea. I am sold on the Sarah Solomon sweater. Your colour choices are gorgeous. I had not heard of the short row book. Thank you for sharing. I think it would be really helpful. I love my Nordic Knitting Primer book. A great resource and wonderful sweater patterns.

Thank you !

I’ve just had another thought (or question or suggestion). It’s a matter of personal taste, but I think next time I might try making this in two pieces (starting each piece at the bottom) and join together in the middle. That way, the motifs are facing upwards on both sides not downwards on one end 🤔

Happy New Year ladies! I was finally able to watch the podcast. Such a treat to watch in the calm of the morning 😊

Thankyou ladies for another great video 😊. I also did the Arne and Carlos knit along, I did deviate from the colours as well, opting for an antique gold in place of the white. I’m really pleased with it although I wasn’t a big fan of the afterthought heel, I much prefer short rows. Have a wonderful Christmas and I’m looking forward to seeing some lovely projects next year 😊

Lovely makes as always! Merry Christmas to you both!

I just found your show, and want to thank you! It's wonderful to see excitement paired with expertise between knitting friends. Beautiful work! There's a place for the other kind of knitting pods of course but I typically don't want to make trendy FOs or be dazzled by production value. Happy holidays!

Another Wonderful episode ladies.❤

Love watching you ladies! Merry Christmas!

Thank you for another wonderful episode. I enjoyed watching while I relaxed in front of a fire and worked on my Musselburgh. Happy Holidays! Looking forward to seeing all of your projects in the new year.

Thanks for this! I watched and watched Arne and Carlos, but the knitting is so fast, that it’s hard to catch. Are you doing a left lifted increase on both sides, when it’s time to increase? This is sooo much easier than FLK or shadow wraps… and I think it looks just as good as the standard German Short Row, but without the tugging at the stitches. ❤

This is the BEST hint to come out so far! I have started the Butterfly shawl MANY times but stopped bc of that carried yarn.. Time to try again! Thank you! 💕

Fun to see your acquisitions! I can’t wait to see what you make with the multiple skein yarns! Sorry that I didn’t run into you at Rhinebeck. We were only there on Saturday and it was a mob scene. Btw, the button vendor is Dusty’s Vintage Buttons. I also bought there!

Hi Ladies, Happy Birthday Janet.

Thanks for the company again ladies, some beautiful pieces as always 😊. Those Kimberley Perkins yarns are stunning! 😮😊

Very good! Great! To me, it's all about the finishing details!

Thanks for the shoutout, ladies!

I think those stitch holders are that Scottish cow. I don’t remember what it’s called.

Hi Joy and Janet! Thanks for the visit 💝 Happy Birthday 🎂 Janet! 🥳 LOVE LOVE all the beautiful knits and yarns! I'm working on the Sunday Morning Shawl by Espace Tricot I'm on the one endless row of bobbles 😅 I'm karnesee on ravelry

You slip knitwise, is that right?

Some beautiful knits there ladies 😊, thankyou for some great company whilst I’m sat knitting my own socks for Christmas 😊

Best explanation and demonstration I’ve seen thanks!

My condolences on your mother’s passing. I know it’s never easy, but, may she rest in peace. As far as fiber festivals go, in early September I enjoyed the Scottish Yarn Festival. A few days after I came back, I went to the New Jersey festival on Sunday. And, since my 1st grandchild decided to come early, I am now able to go to Rhinebeck. We will have to arrange a meet up! You both showed so many projects! My favorite has to be that scarf. Really special!

P,S, 1. Thanks for the fun tip about the sock cuff club. Even at almost $20 CAD it's a good deal -- and I've struggled to knit colourwork socks that fit, so this might help; 2. Out here we have Fibre Festivals in the spring and the fall. I went to one in Camrose, Alberta in May (The Rose City Fibre Festival) and to another (the Prairie Fibre Festival) in mid-September. There was also one farther south in...August, I think. There are wonderful dyers in Alberta and B.C., and shepherds for sheep and alpaca all around the province.

First, Joy, my condolences on the passing of your mother. Yes, a good, long life -- and a loving one, from what you said -- but I'm sure you miss her, and will hear her voice from time to time. My mother died 20 years ago a few months shy of 88...and that's certainly true for me! RE: your beautiful scarf that has off-white angora as the background: Angora comes from goats as well as rabbits...so I expect each source has a different feel to it. Is your angora from rabbits? Or goats? RE: Sock ribbing: I confess I'm a 2:2 fan -- k2/p2. It's a stretchier rib than 1:1, which is why I like it. Abd how does the BFL wear? I'm not a fan of ultra-soft yarn (e.g., merino, especially high grade, or even BFL) for socks -- unless they're bed socks and don't get much wear. I prefer a sturdier wool (with or without nylon). I don't know about you, but my feet don't care about softness; I reserve fhat for my neck, arms, or torso (as in sweaters). Just a thought. Just something to think about! Good to see you two together again; watching as I knit...

I am so sorry to hear about your mother's passing Joy but I'm glad to hear that she had a good life. I found knitting so helpful after my mother died and that is when I started watching podcasts. It really helped fill the void. Your Columella turned out so well. I love all the jewel tones. You must get comments when you wear it to go out. Such a unique pieces. Your Christmas socking is just lovely. For not knitting this summer you sure caught up fast! Best wishes.

I want to one last March in Dixon, Tennessee and plan to go to one in February in Mississippi. I live in Alabama.

Thank you! I am about to knit another pair of socks and have tried so many methods for the toe and heel and felt they were, for me, too fiddly or too many stitch markers but this one looks like the one I will use from now. Your explanation is so good, not too fast.

This is by far my favorite heel. I tried learning from Arne's tutorial ( I love them both), yours was much easier to follow and learn. Thank you!

It’s like magic thank you so much for the tutorial

First time watching. You are both beautiful knitters. I vote dark blue.

Joy, your stranded knitting is absolutely flawless, I was in awe of that beautiful hat!. Jackie is lovely isn’t she?, I would go for the dark blue myself, great episode ladies 😊

Wonderful to see Jackie again! I vote for the dark blue to edge the squares. (You can always count on me to put my 2 cents in!) You both had so many beautiful finished projects and so many lovely new yarns to show. Stunning new sweater design, Jackie, and I love the baby sweater, Joy. Hope to see you both soon!

I'd like to try this stitch for a different design but that would involve increases - would that be possible and if so how? Thanks!

I like the dark color for your squares.

What a great episode. So glad Jackie could join again. Your Persian Dream blanket will be an heirloom when you are done. Loved your baby sweater. I am looking for good baby patterns. No grandchildren yet but there is talk about it in the near future. Take Care!

Jackie is a joy. Such a lovely podcast.❤❤🎉

Thanks so much for this. I've gotten to where I want to start making more complicated, multi-color things, but I HATE having a "bad" side. This is just what I needed!

Finally finished watching while knitting baby hats!

Loved the tiny cats, Joy! The Farm & Fiber Knits magazine sounds very interesting. I hadn’t heard about it before. It’s exciting to see the designers who are participating - especially Alice Starmore! Her daughter Jade also designs knitwear but the garments tend to be theatrical costumes rather than wearable every day items. The article from Meg Swansen sounds familiar to me. Didn’t she write on that topic in Interweave or Vogue Knitting? Btw, I have the book Twisted-Stitch Knitting by Maria Erlbacher if you ever want to borrow it. The patterns are quite beautiful. Finally, I’m so happy that everyone seemed to enjoy our Knitting to Flatter class! It was a wonderful day!

Hi again! I'm watching as I knit on the first piece (the back) of a cotton summer tee top (Vincas from Berroco, with Estelle Young Touch Cotton DK -- discontinued -- deep stash!). I love your wee kitties (I have 3 cats -- 1 elder and two that are siblings, 1 year old) but haven't the patience to do the fiddly knitted kitties you've done,, Joy! As for the chicken -- I'm happy to admire from afar. NOT happening here! LOL! Again, the "fiddly factor" that I associate with ALL knitted toys has kicked in. Knitting is in itself my emotional support! RE: the 10-stitch hat. Hmmmm....I'm inclined to trust your review before I take the plunge and add it to my repertoire (mostly made from stash for charity). It seems to me there are other, better options for hats that I want to knit to give away! I was interested in your comments about Fiber Knits "magazine" as I have received information urging me to sign up. I'm Canadian so must consider that the cost in CAD is 30% higher. A $65 USD publication (or offering) would cost me $100 CAD -- and to receive only one REAL copy of it...and have the rest "dribbled out" (my perception) by e-mail?! Not happening at my end. Happy July 4 to you. Canada Day is July 1...so this is a very special week!

After watching some other tutorials, this one is a real blessing! So much clearer to follow and looks beautiful! Thank you!

Thanks! I was just getting ready to frog a striped shawl b/c I didn't like the way I was carrying the yarn up the side.

L9ve this 😂

Can i use this for toe up with gusset ?
