Honestly, I don’t mind when you get off track. It’s lovely just to hear you guys chat. So stop correcting yourselves! If the conversation privets LET IT! You’re both wonderful. Keep up the great work. 💕💕
Awww, THANKS! We'll try to stop correcting/apologizing, but that's part of our personalities too. :) Kim & Jonna
You both are lovely! ..and we enjoy your fun personalities!
How many other knitters are out there like Kim and me? It seems like everyone I’ve met after starting to work at our LYS 2 years ago has been a part of a knitting group and watched TH-cam videos all these years. Adding the community aspect of knitting to my life has been this incredible gift. I so appreciate all your time and work you put into this community
My LYS is Apricot Yarn and Supply in San Diego California. Friday night at social knitting I sat with a couple from Seattle. She recommended your vlog to me! I was a solitary knitter before retiring 4 years ago.
Fantastic episode. You share your joy and sense of fun for knitting and crafting. Thank you. 🇬🇧
This episode is one of my favorite things. The length of the video is organic and great...it didn't feel long, almost sad when you were done. LOVE your relaxed banter. I appreciate the discussion about the purl stitches. I learned to knit from my grandmother and my mom, and when I started watching knitting videos I realized I was twisting my knit stitches because I was knitting through the back loop...since I was a kid. It was challenging learning to knit right. I have no idea what kind of cast on I do either...I've never seen anyone cast on the way I do. lol
I love hearing these personal stories about knitting and family.
Thank you for sharing. We're so glad you loved the episode! K&J
Kim, my Scottish Granny said to tell you that wool floats and was used in fisherman’s knits with specific family cables and knots, so if the fisherman was lost at sea, the wool sweater could ID the lost soul. The fisherman’s cables sweater that would float to shore had a family cable and knotty pattern that was created for each fisherman family. Interesting so thought I would share as you mentioned your sweater floating in the lake.
Oh my goodness!!! I love this! Thank you so much for sharing. I just copied and pasted it in my E11 notes so I can remember to mention this in our next video. Is The Maker San Jose a yarn shop? Are you the owner? :) Kim
Love listening to your podcasts! It reminds me of how my sister and I talk when we get excited and go off topic, but come back to it ten minutes later picking up right where we left off! 🤣. We do it all the time! Especially when we haven’t seen each other in a while and have a lot to catch up on, so I can totally relate. I really enjoy seeing all your FO’s, WIP’s and purchases too. I learned so much in this episode! Congratulations on 10k+ subscribers!
Loved your long episode. Time is not an issue, if you need to stop the podcast, you just come back to it later and re-start it. and your logo.....OMG! It's gorgeous. I LOVE it! Well done!!!!
Thank you!
I’ve been subscribed and loving watching you two since your first episode. I could watch you chat about knitting all day long! It’s like a great knitting session with my besties. Thanks for having me along! This episode was awesome, as usual and I now have a number of new additions to my Ravelry queue. I love the new logo. It captures you both wonderfully and I can’t wait to order some merch once it’s available.
Thank you so much, Robbie!
Gentleman in Moscow is one of my all time faves! I read it and then I listened to it which was excellent!! All those Russian names etc were perfectly pronounced. Lincoln Highway is next on my list. I didn’t really love Rules of Civility-I thought it wasn’t his best. Anyway, I LOVE you two and really look forward to meeting you at Rhinebeck! ❤️
I LOVE the longer podcasts. You two are so fun to watch. You worry too much about your presentation, we want the real you not the edited and polished you. The way you present is like sitting and knitting with friends. I feel like that’s what keeps viewers coming back. You two. ❤️❤️❤️💙
Thanks got the episode! It’s a Saturday evening and I relaxing in bed knitting and watched this over two hour video! It made for a fun knit night! And I prefer your spontaneity and ease of sharing stories with us. So many lovely projects. I want to knit them all. I had to laugh about the Eastern Purl stitch, Jonna. I have never worried about correcting my purl stitch knitting that I was doing it incorrectly. But I guess more it’s time to make the change because you helped me understand what issues it causes. Darn! Continued success in your knitting adventures.

Ooops! I have a whole shawl with twisted stitches! As long as you're consistent, right?
Hi Kim, totally right in German, ich werde "anschlagen" - ich habe "angeschlagen" , ich "stricke", ich habe "gestrickt" -
I also love grammar and learning the correct way to speak 😉😉❣❣ Love your podcast and it dosn't matter if your making other 10 Ranunculus in the future.
Very best regards and a wooly hug to you an Jonna from Germany
Gisela
I love your podcast a lot 🎉with great information and inspirations from two lovely young grandma❤❤ thank you😊 love from Istanbul❤
Thank you for a nice episode!👍 I love your Ranunculus Kim! and Jonna, what a lovely dress you are wearing! Have a nice autumn! 🧶🌞👍🍁🍂
Just one word to describe your podcast - joyous. Thank you
Awwwww... Thank you so much! :) Kim & Jonna
Love your channel! Thank you so much for sharing your love of knitting (and sewing) and your friendship. Your new logo is adorable! Love it!!
Love your logo. A tote bag/project bag with your logo would be great !!!
Really appreciated all the detail about your Ranunculus, Kim. I have attempted one previously but gave up. You’ve inspired me to try again 😊
Please don't give up! Try it again. And don't forget that Midori Hirose has videos for every stitch and skill on her Ranunculus Ravelry post. And if you still have trouble, feel free to reach out to me/us via our email at ktogwkimandjonna@gmail.com.
Happy Knitting! :) Kim
LOVE THE LOGO! Yes, I want a tote bag too! Congrats Ladies!
Wow! Packed full of fun and learning and fantastic knits and I want to make them all and I want a friend to laugh and knit with just like you too! Great memory making, as well as skill seed planting with your granddaughters, Jonna, and I love the book idea mentioned above. My SIL makes the greatest memory books of special occasions that become treasures to pour over again and again. Now I am inspired to NEED to make about ten new sweaters- you are very bad for my budget! Lol! 💕 Great logo- you have leapt into fame in a big hurry- I love it!
What a great episode! Love all the finished projects, the WIPS, yarn, photos; love it all. You ladies make the world a better place!
Thank you so much!
You two are so enjoyable to watch. I lost it at the “saliva management” comment because although I’ve never been bothered by you two, there are podcasters who aren’t very aware of their odd noises! Welcome back!!
Fun to see you and your projects
Nice to see you back!
Thanks, ladies, for all the work that goes into your podcasts. Whenever I see a long one, I am just ecstatic! I love your sweater, Kim; and, Jonna, you are the best with your sewing interests added in. I have also loved seeing your Ranunculus sweaters; you've really both inspired me, and I am on my first one now. So glad to see you back, and I LOVE the new logo! Stay well!
Thank you! Keep us posted on your Ranunculus!
Knitters are the best community ever!!
Right??!
I enjoy your videos immensely! I love the “off script” banter. I love that you’ve both read The Tale of Despereaux. I read it to my fourth grade class every year. My all time favorite Kate D’Camillo book is the Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. I recommend it to everyone. One of my other favorite stories is Winter Solstice by Rosamunde Pilcher. It is for adults only because it would bore a poor child to death. I totally agree with Jonna about summer. Thank you for a lovely video.
Sounds like we are kindred spirits!! Thank you for your lovely comment. I'll add Winter Solstice to our book list!
So great to see you lovely ladies…👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🧶💗
Jippppppeeeee for the new video!!! 💃
Your new logo is absolutely perfect!
Jonna, the purl results in ribbing have always bugged me, but I had to learn to let it go…. I’m sooo grateful to you that you’ve figured it out! Kim, I wanted to knit my two sleeves simultaneously but always mess up when I put the work down, your tip is fabulous. Thank you both.
Still loving your videos. Wish I had someone to knit and laugh and share with like you guys. I guess you are filling the void.
Your new logo is so great! love it. another excellent episode, and so much fun to follow along with your knitting adventures.
Thank you so much!
The “grammar lesson” made me laugh. I always find it jarring when people say “knitted” - and I realized this is probably an English/Canadian usage versus American English. I would never say “knitted” for the past tense whereas I think most Americans (including my husband) would prefer “knitted” as the past tense.
Thanks for sharing your lovely knitting and pattern choices with us. I love listening to your chatter while knitting. Cute logo. I usually watch your videos on my TV, and I can’t figure out a way to add comments there. But I alway “like” your episodes. Johnna I hope your blue phase continues, but the cause becomes more and more bare able and easier to talk about. 💕
Lovely to see you both
Love your hair Kim! You both energize me to jump in and try something new. Congratulations on your 10K milestone. 🥂
Love the Logo!! I So enjoy your podcast, I feel like I am sitting in the room knitting with you gals, even when I am across the country in San Diego, Ca knitting along watching you 💖you are both very inspirational💛💛
Love that!
Love your new logo....so cute
Always enjoy the knitting parties, doesn't matter the chat is about, that's the charm to watching your videos xx
So glad you're all ok, brain fog is another sad symptom of Corona. Loving your video, fun, informative chat, thankyou, take care everyone xxoo
Love the logo! ❤
I saw your new logo and just love it. Nothing like going in style.
Hello just found your podcast, loved it and your enjoyment in what you do. I thoroughly enjoyed the fact that you don't call everyone guys so so refreshing
Thank you! We hadn't noticed that we don't do that! Thanks for bearing with our other quirks :-)
Great episode, ladies!
Your Sabella turned out beautiful. I couldn’t help it I started my sabella yesterday. I was supposed to wait for fall. It’s fun so far.
Thanks for another fantastic episode. I love your blue Ranunculus Kim amd Jonna I can't wait to see your gorgeous Dingley Dell all finished!
Two hours are talking about knitting!!! 🎉🎉🎉 love it. It was so much fun to listen to you all talk about life and knitting.
Love the new logo!
Joanna thank you for mentioning the Mckinney Knittery. I was in TX this week and I went to Unraveled a cute shop in San Antonio on the 7th of September and then in Dallas on Thursday after lunch my mother in law and I drove up to Mckinney to shop and find some more souvenir yarn.
Yay! Did you love it?
I love your book review and love, love, your logo!!! Wonderful!! love,hugs,prayers.
Hello from Syndey Australia
Another fabulous episode girls😁😁😁
Absolutely love your logo😍😍😍
Keep up the fantastic work 😄😄😄
I like seeing your finished objects modeled or worn by yourselves over on a mannequin.
What an awesome episode for so many reasons! I feel like I’m sitting there with you catching up and sharing projects. Jonna, you are going to LOVE the Gentleman in Moscow - it has become my all time favorite!! I can’t wait to hear what you think!
The Lincoln Highway was so engrossing right away. I'm just a few chapters in...I hope so too!
So glad you both are over you bout with Covid. I, myself, am just recovering from it. I was fully vaccinated and boosted!! Rebounded after Paxlovid! Thankfully much better and back to knitting. In fact, I’m just starting my FIRST Rannuculus!!! I just did a long tail cast-on, loosely. Prayerfully it will go over my head!😂😂
Thank you both for such a fun and informative episode! And i so enjoyed listening as you two “caught up” after being apart for a while. Reminds me so much of myself and my BFF, who passed away April 2020. Your laughing together is so much like ours used to be! Treasure your time together! ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hi Cynthia,
We're so happy you recovered from your bout with COVID! And CONGRATULATIONS on starting your first Ranunculus! I hope you love it as much as we do.
Thank you for watching and enjoying our banter. We feel so privileged to be your new knitting friends, but we are so so so sorry that you lost your real life knitting friend. We will definitely continue to treasure our time together in memory of her... :) Kim & Jonna
Super cute logo!! Love it!
Thank you!! 😊
I love you ladies!!! Knitting, sewing, and books!! Fantastic Info and soo motivating. Thank you!! Hugs from Mtl, Quebec Canada! 🇨🇦🧶🤗
Thank you so much!
Your logo is perfect! It captures both of you to a T. A very fun episode.
I always knit my ribbing flat, I inc one stitch as my ‘sewing seam’, knit front and then back, then seam together. If I’m doing a decorative edge, I often join back in the round to complete, them sew the ribbing seams together.
Uber beautiful Ranunculus, awesome logo, and lovely podcast! Thanks for sharing and being my knitting buddies! ❤️❤️
Any time!
Love the logo!!!!!
Love the long podcast! I never get bored watching your video!
Haha! Whew! :) Kim
I’m on vacation on an island in New Hampshire. Knitting the Great Love by Ankestrick for my daughter. I’ve taken a start of day pic every day and sent it to her to keep me motivated and to assure her she’ll get it soon! And yes, anschlagen is the right German word for cast on! Happy knitting!
My mom taught me to sew and I made clothes for my stuffed animals. I must've been pretty young, because my mom passed away when I was 7. But I still have those memories! I no longer know how to sew, but I have 2 of her beautiful quilts as keepsakes. Your granddaughters will appreciate these memories with grandma!
We've already made a mermaid tail and a skort! I bought a small, portable Janome machine that was half off. She is really enjoying it. Thank you for sharing your memories.
Great podcast. Enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks for all the information. I can’t wait to knit all the things. Sorry to hear about all the family illnesses. Love the new Logo. I need a coffee cup and a car decal. 🧶🧶🧶
Oh, a car decal! Hadn't thought of that!
Thank you so much.
Congratulations on another amazing episode. I even took notes! Love everything you are working on too. The chemistry you share is magical and I love when you go “off topic”. I look forward to knitting with you on October 8th. Thanks
See you there!
Congratulations on 10K subscribers, ladies! I’m always excited to see that an episode is ready to watch on a Friday morning; that means knitting and relaxing are on the docket for the day before what is usually a busy weekend.
Kim, your new Ranunculus is beautiful! As I am in the bottom ribbing of mine, I do appreciate all the detail you have given. I have chosen to go down a couple needles sizes for the bottom to avoid the flaring out as it just isn’t flattering on my apple shape. I’m definitely going to try the bind off that you mentioned.
Interestingly enough, my Dingley Dell bottom ribbing is biased ( I think that is the correct term). I’m going to try blocking it one more time and if that doesn’t work, I’m going to pull out the bottom and redo it. I am sure it is something I am doing, I just don’t know what it is lol.
Jonna, enjoy that spinning class! You are such an accomplished seamstress-beautiful work. Now you have me wondering about purling. I do purl the counter-clockwise way, but my purls are much wider than my knit stitches. Your Salty Air tee and Dingley Dell are both stunning.
Thank you! What yarn did you use for your DD?
Yes, I was so surprised at that distance between knit stitches in a 1x1 rib. I hadn't taken much notice before. Now, I can't unsee it! When I get home, I'll take a pic, side by side and post it on the Community tab.
I used the Myak Kupa. I'm really considering ripping back the bottom as it is slightly too big. I love how the top fits though! I'm going to research regulating my tension between knits and purls too.
Did I leave a message already? I started to write one... I just wanted to say 'thank you'! This video was lots of fun! I watched it over 3 days while sewing up the seams of one project and swatching for another, my first in unspun yarn (Manchelopi by Wooldreamers). ¡Saluditos!
Thank you! I have some Nutiden unspun yarn that I haven't tried yet. Curious!
Thank you thank you for the detailed ranunculus explanation. I'm only on my third but haven't tried the variations - I just try on. Love the details you've given!
Ranunculus love!!! :) Kim
Lovely logo !!!
I LOVE long episodes☺️
What a fantastic episode! And thank you for the link to the combination knitting video. I can confirm this also works spectacularly well for double (2x2) rib. Jonna's Salty Air tees and Kim's Ranunculi look fantastic. I think I might be the only knitter in the world not to have knit these or a Love Note, but I plan to fix that next year.
I love your chatter, so don't change your format, please! 💜
Thank you! We're so glad you enjoyed it.
Love your new Logo! It’s terrific…..
Always enjoy your podcast! Here’s a book recommendation- The Gown by Jennifer Robson. Set in post WW2 London about the young women who embroidered then Princess Elizabeth’s wedding veil, their challenges of living in post-war England, and a modern times connection. Was a great book that I’ll probably read again!
I've started a list and will add this to it! Thank you!
Another fun podcast! Jonna, It was so interesting to hear about the different ways to purl. I remember reading in Carson Demers’ “Knitting Comfortably” that the eastern purl is a good method for reducing forceful exertion in the hands. I’m definitely going to give it a go after hearing about your success!
Keep me posted on your progress!
Jonna, I don’t like summer either, it’s something I just have to get through. I agree, the best thing about summer is that fall is coming! 🍂
Yep!!! Hurry up!
Jonna… I also do not do social media stuff! My co-workers give me grief about that but I am content with living life out of social media!😂 Yes, I miss a lot yarn sales, but the way I look at it is, if it is meant for me to buy then it will happen at some point!🤩 Another great episode ladies!😍
You're family crafting adventures sound fab, I make paper beads too
Hello there! I love watching you both so much and wanted to let you know Jonna, that you tip about putting a button inside the hat to keep the pom pom from being floppy is amazing. My Mom is in a Hats group with her church and they make hats to donate...well I mentioned the botton trick and now we are obsessed! THANK YOU!!!
So fun to hear!!! You're welcome!
The hill is great fun!!!
Ladies, your logo is adorable just like yourselves. And you made me buy the Dingley Dell by IK. Looking forward to casting it. Cheers
I woke up thinking about the V-neck on the DD. Some knitters have really deep Vs and others not so much. I wonder if it has to do with row gauge? (Which I haven't checked myself, but will do so now out of curiosity.) Also, pattern size and yarn content (drape). Just things to think about so that you get the garment you want!
Every podcast gets better! Honestly, so happy to have found you. Kim - LOVE your hair in this one. It really suites you along with your beautiful tan and lovely blue sweater. Jonna, what a stunning dress - you are just beautiful. I love your choices in knits - some I have done, some I will do. Jonna, never say never about wheel spinning. I did and two wheels now sit in my knitting room. My first class was only in July! Lol. I can’t believe that you have John Arbon - That is the exact color I ordered in Fiber from the UK. Can’t wait to get it spun up. My sister and I are flying in from Colorado to Rhinebeck. So excited to meet you in person. 🙌🏻🧶
Thank you so much! We would love to meet you!!! Just look for Kim's purple hair! I think we're going to figure out a time to be in a specific place at Rhinebeck if you don't run into us.
Thank you for your sweet comment. I've heard that the Spinning Guild is a good place to look for a used spinning wheel? Am I getting ahead of myself? I can't wait to give it a try.
Great logo😍
So correct! Anschlagen, ich habe angeschlagen or ich schlug an 🥰. My grammar heart is flipping with joy 🤩
Loving you discussing grammar!
Yay! So happy I got it right. We love grammar, but still make tons of mistakes. :) Kim
I'm with Jonna I could skip summer every year...
I just need to move to Norway!
Jonna, I realized the same thing about my purling about two years ago! I learned to knit English style as a child, then I taught myself (without the aid of TH-cam or another knitter) to knit continental a little over a decade ago. I knew there was something weird going on with my purls, but the light bulb didn’t go off until two years ago when I started to watch knitting podcasts and got more into knitting (read: obsessed with knitting). Then I taught myself the “proper” way to purl. Then last year I taught myself English flicking. All that saga to say that I realized that continental knitting is the most comfortable and fastest for me still, but my tension is (much) looser than when I flick and I have the tendency to “row out” when I knit back and forth on a cardigan. I finally gave myself permission on my last two projects to just combine all the styles to mitigate my tension issues. If I’m knitting in the round and need to purl, I knit continental and purl the eastern/Romanian way to maintain the same tension, then resolve by purling through the back loop. When knitting flat, I will usually now flick the knit side, then purl the eastern way and resolve it by knitting through the back loop. It sounds needlessly complicated when I write it all out like that, but I just wanted to say that as knitters there is no wrong way. We all are constantly improving and you use whatever techniques are in your toolbox that give you a better result!
Thank you, RK. I completely agree! Early on I believed there was a "right" way to knit (and therefore a wrong way). Love hearing about your purling journey. Learning all of these techniques allows you to be the boss of your knitting! Thank you for sharing. J
1:41:25 - what Kim was saying is so true! I learned knitting with an eastern purl/KTBL combination. At the time, I didn't know this wasn't the standard way of knitting until I started reading patterns that called for KTBL.... I was so confused haha! It's too much work to configure the pattern to my way of knitting, so I eventually just learned to do it the "right" way
I'm happy to learn that I'm not alone!
This is my favorite episode of yours yet thanks ladies😚 My book recommendation is The Alchemist by Paolo Coehlo. It’s amazing you will love it!!! I have some light purple Zoey yarn I think I will make another Ranunculus for next spring/summer. 💜
I've read it! Thank you! Have you read, By The River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept? Also very good!
@@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna Oh that’s great to hear! I have not read that book but I will put it on my list-thank you for the suggestion!
The Tale of Despereaux is such a lovely book! I love almost all the characters. If you enjoy the Tale of Despereaux I highly recommend Esperanza Rising (for some social commentary) and Bridge to Terabithia (for fantasy and one gut-renching part)
The logo is sooooooo CUTE!!!
Hi Lexanne,
Thank you so much for your recommendations. I haven't read much since returning from vacation, but I can't wait to finish The Tale of Despereaux and start something else! And we're so happy you like our logo! :) Kim
Our grandchildren LOVED beading when they were little. They are now 9, 11, 13 and too cool to craft with grandma. But they enjoyed baking bread and making strawberry freezer jam.
We've already made a mermaid's tail, a skort, two bracelets and a necklace, and made banana bread. She put a few stitches in her brother's knitting project. Lots of crafting happening over here!
You might enjoy book podcasts while knitting. It’s a way to get book recommendations and fun to listen to.
I'll have to check that out. Thanks!
Ladies - you can talk about the weather for an hour... very enjoyable while i am knitting. thanks for taking the time to provide this content.
Honestly, this is so sweet. I often say that I could listen to Arne and Carlos read a telephone book!!
These episodes are getting better and better and I don’t want them to end ! Thank you for all the sweet words as well . Lots of love back !! Paola
Awww... We love you Paola! Thank you so much for trusting us with the KAL and your beautiful yarn!
who would dislike? NO ONE! great episode, thank you
Thank you, LOL!
Yes! i would join your FB group!
I love the books by Amor Towles. I read A Gentleman In Moscow and thoroughly enjoyed it. Then I listened to the audio of Rules of Civility and loved that as well. I am now listening to The Lincoln Highway . I listen to audiobooks while I am knitting.
I am still in the first few chapters of Gentleman. I really have to finish my DD for the KAL! I hope you love the Lincoln Highway. Keep me posted!
I listened to Lincoln Highway on audiobook. Loved it!!!!
Now that I have read it, I'm curious about the audio version. Wouldn't it make a great movie??? I hope someone reads this!
Jonna, your green dress is gorgeous and, Kim, your blue Ranunculus is so pretty. I love all your makes and your new logo is adorable. 😊
Hi Shannon,
Thank you so much for watching and commenting! And we're so happy you like our logo.
:) Kim & Jonna
I was so excited to actually catch a video in time to use a coupon code 😊love my knitting bag which by now holds mohair yarn for my first ranunculus - now I’m only searching for the 2nd yarn to go with it - 🧶I’m a newbie at ranunculus ( I know - late to the game lol) and feel a bit lost - so I’m watching 👀and rewatching any videos where folks share their experience - so enjoy your ramblings- keep it up and happy knitting 🧶
Be sure to tag us on IG or share in the Ravelry group so we can see your Ranunculus!
@@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna will do - went to my local yarn shop to pick up the yarn to go with my mohair for the ranunculus- asked the owner if she had made one yet - she said no but has her stash ready - then we both said: I’m just late to the party lol
Now because the Ranunculus is more involved- I also wanted a more mindless piece - so I bought yarn for the ‘weekender light’ but now want some mohair to go with it as I was recommended yarn that was much thinner and my gauges are way off - also watching and rewatching several different tutorials on the tubular cast on - I’m determined to learn it and I’ve started it several times but always lost on the second row - 😳but I’m stubborn and it will work eventually 🤷♀️happy knitting 🧶
Watched this episode today and THOROUGHLY enjoyed it. Lovely to have you back Kim and glad to hear that you and your family members are now recovered from covid. Please don't change anything about yourselves or how you present as I like how natural you both are and a more "polished" presentation would probably take away from that. Please could we have a Kim episode at some stage discussing her sweaters. Jonna's was so entertaining. You are both a wonderful light in my knitting life and I thank you both for that. Sending both of you knitting love from Kettering in England
Thank you very much, Patricia. What a kind and thoughtful comment! I think we are settling into our more natural selves, for sure. We appreciate the encouragement. We will definitely schedule a Kim episode!!
Thanks for the great podcast. Love your chats and all the knitting. I'm sitting on my front porch with a sweater on. it a weird breeze.
Sounds wonderful! Can't wait for cooler weather.
