Scott, I used to be a centre-pull knitter, but got so much extra twist and collapsed cakes that it used to make me bananas. Got introduced to a yarn buddy/yarn valet, and GAME CHANGER. You put your ball on the spindle, pull from the outside, and shazam, no twist, no collapsed cakes, and all the knitting ease and joy. You can get inexpensive plastic or wood ones, and sometimes you can get fancy ones at yarn shops and yarn shows. I have several and I LOVE THEM. John, that baby blanket is amazing! Lucky friends, lucky baby. I had the same experience watching the sinking-ship scenes in Titanic; I cried/wept/sobbed through that whole part! Also, at one point during one of the Kate/Leo scenes before the iceberg, I got a cold shiver realization that OMG this ship is going to sink; people are going to die. OH NO. Have a blast in Puerto Vallarta! Muchas cervezas!
Fun to see you (and Junior!). What a great idea to knit alk the hats in the National Parks hats book. I ordered that book, it has been very popular with my local knitting group. I like how Scott's Zauberball sock knit up, and your Bakery Bear is going to be very cute. Have a good trip!
I lived in Mexico and in Puerto Vallarta for some years back. My daughter and granddaughter just got back Saturday from 10 days in PV. I don't know where you'll be staying but be sure and go to the Romantic Zone. That's where the great art, the architecture, good authentic food and the restaurants on Los Muertos beach are located. You're gonna have so much fun. Take lots of sunblock because the sun is very intense. My daughter is white and my granddaughter is mixed. Both came back very tan but my daughter had to burn first. And speaking of your Podcast I'm thrilled that you're back. And speaking of your Podcast I'm thrilled that you're back. I hope you take and share some footage while you're in Mexico.❤❤❤
Glad to see you back and love the plan for movie reviews. I do question calling Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet unknowns since he had been nominated for an academy award for What’s Eating Gilbert Grape and she had won a BAFTA for Sense and Sensibility before they were cast.
Funny that you make a blanket with the dice. I often do it that way but with 2 dice. it's also a good way to work from your stash or with leftovers. And the nice thing is it never gets bored because you don't know which color comes after the previous one. That keeps knitting fun, especially when you make large projects such as blankets. I always do 1 or 2 rows with 1 color and then throw the stones again. it is very surprising how combinations arise that you would never have thought of yourself and that combine wonderfully beautifully with each other
I also like knitting from the outside of the cake. One of the ways I like to manage my yarn is with a tool some call a yarn or wool tree, looks like a dowel rod sticking vertically out of a lazy Susan. I cake my yarn and right after I'm done winding, I slip the rod in the cake winding hole, and I'm off knitting. I've seen them for sale on Knit Pick's, Amazon, and Etsy. Hope this suggestion helps you with your yarn management!
As well as using a yarn buddy, you could use any bowl that is large enough to hold the ball of yarn. My husband is a woodworker and has turned a couple of bowls for me.
It's actually a real disease, called Sable. That means: Stash Acquisition Beyond Life Expectancy. If I'm meant to work through all of my crafting stash, I am living through eternity!🙊🙉🙈 Nice to see you back again. I just ordered that Parks Hat book. It looks awesome. I hope you have a wonderfully warm vacation.
You were the first podcast I followed. I love it. Watch what you want, say what you want. The ski race sounds cool. I have the parks hat book.i haven't made any. I haven't done colorwork. see ya next time.
You know here in Australia they play “We can’t stop the music” every New Year’s Eve at around midnight. I’m nearly 50 and I remember watching it every year at my grandma’s so it’s been going a while 🪩
I love listening to you guys, highly entertaining! I’m down in Mankato btw…and can relate to a lot. Also attended the Birkie way back with our three kids in tow..haha. ET was my first movie ever in the theater as well…in Germany, dubbed. I was born and raised there. Been in the US since 1993. Love your “Zauberball” pronunciation. No I have to watch Titanic again😊
OMG, I'm laughing.....I had white cat ears partially blocking my view of the tv (Pollyanna the albino polydactyl) then Junior popped up!! 😹😹 I love you guys! I did miss the tales of Betty Ann. 😉
Happy to see you two. I don't know how I missed your last episode, however when I'm done writing this I will watch it. Have fun in Mexico. I went there in 1975. I know it was a long time ago. I was a senior in high school. Was there for 19 glorious days only to fly home in a blizzard. Chicago Airport had been shut down and after many short flights to get to Detroit metro airport I was just happy to be on land. Oh and by the way it was in April when I returned home. I'm going to enjoy the movie reviews. I like the best and worst movie compare. Until next time guys.
the first movie i ever saw in the movie theater was "Star Wars" in August of 1978...it was the 2nd release of it.....that was way before Lucas added the subtitle "A New Hope".....that day is when i became a sci-fi nut.....yes i am a 48 year old gay man.....i am OLD
I love Titanic... they did everything from the hitting of the iceberg to the sinking of the ship in real time... That's how long, or short, it took for all that to happen...
Hi guys. The norwegian birkebeiner is 54 kilometers, så the US birkebeiner is not that far off. Love from Norway. And the birkebeinerrennet here in Norway is Saturday March 18th
I’ll never forget going to see Titanic in theaters the first time. I was very young teen, going as a group that included my crush, and it was my first time wearing mascara. That was OBVIOUSLY a mistake.
John's face when Scott is describing The Post Man! Priceless!🤣 It was a bad movie but maybe not as bad as Waterworld, the one where Kevin had webbed feet.
You may or may not want travel tips, but be careful with your knitting supplies in Mexican airports. You should have any issues flying out of the US, but I have heard that Mexican airports are very strict about knitting needles. For your trip home, make sure that you put all of your really nice knitting supplies in your checked luggage. Only attempt to carry needles that you are willing to part with in your carryon.
The history of Norway is not correct, but anyway 😂😇 the Birkebeiner ski is 53km in Norway and they have to carrie a backpack and weight of 3,5kg that symbolizes the baby from the story. 🇳🇴 Regarding Gurli from Norway 🇳🇴
Love your podcasts, but thanks to Junior, this one will be remembered for that saying "never work with kids and animals" even though my decrepit brain can't dredge up who said it!!! :-)
I wish they would judge the biggest movie by the NUMBER of tickets sold and not the dollar amount since tickets have gone from a few dollars a ticket to over $20. So how much a movie made is not very accurate over the years!

Hello Wendy 0:02
What a brat for calling me out!
Scott, knitting from the outside is the way to BE!! Do it do it do it
I love the Bakery Bears- and especially Dan's walks. Walking the Monasteries has such amazing architecture.

Junior visiting the podcast gives me LIFE!
Love the baby blanket! New take on the movie “game” is awesome. Glad you feel like podcasting again. 💕

Loved the movie, "The Postman"... I had completely forgotten about it. Thanks GUYS !!!
Great to see you guys back again! (I can't believe I brought your video up 55 seconds after you posted it.) I love the birch bark hat!
😍🤣
I’m so glad you’re back! I’ve missed your podcasts.
Movie reviews thumbs up!..Fun podcast.
Stumbled upon your channel! Yay! Team knit from the outside here, too!
Good show. Loved all the talk about movies and knitting. Your cat added charm.

Wowsers two episodes, number two TW O MG 😂❤❤❤🦊
Love the new idea for the movies! Junior cracked me up! 😂
John! Pulling out all that yarn for the Acadia with all the ends everywhere stressed me out! 😂😂😂 The hat is going to be beautiful, though. 😻
Another great, entertaining episode!!
I love that you guys are back!!! Lol a shock ankle bracelet for BA😀
This was fun! I'll try to follow along with the movies. Good to see you both back. ❤️
I love the new movie review idea! Oscar vs. Razzie is perfect. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on Chicago!
As well as using a yarn buddy, you could use any bowl that is large enough to hold the ball of yarn. My husband is a woodworker and has turned a couple of bowls for me.

Love the movie talk and hat knitting

Now I have the Please Mr. postman song stuck in my head!
Love the movie reviews..lots of fun, and I like your opinions. Kitty pod bomb is wonderful.
OMG, I'm laughing.....I had white cat ears partially blocking my view of the tv (Pollyanna the albino polydactyl) then Junior popped up!! 😹😹
I love you guys!
I did miss the tales of Betty Ann. 😉
I love everything you do. I’m so happy to have your podcast back in my list of joyful things i get to do
Happy to see you two. I don't know how I missed your last episode, however when I'm done writing this I will watch it. Have fun in Mexico. I went there in 1975. I know it was a long time ago.

Love the new movie segment! I also agree with the rule of knitting through your stash before you die. Seems legit! 😊
the first movie i ever saw in the movie theater was "Star Wars" in August of 1978...it was the 2nd release of it.....that was way before Lucas added the subtitle "A New Hope".....that day is when i became a sci-fi nut.....yes i am a 48 year old gay man.....i am OLD
from one 48 year gay man to another :)
Thanks guys
I adore camera bombs by Jr. lol
I love Junior the celebrity guest! 😂
OMG Don Johnson, trip down memory lane, he was smouldering hot in Miami Vice - just been watching clips now on youtube...swoooon.....
Awe, my youngest son is called Felix. It means fortunate or happy.
I love Titanic... they did everything from the hitting of the iceberg to the sinking of the ship in real time... That's how long, or short, it took for all that to happen...

I think you've achieved the perfect amount of white cat in this show. Also, my favorite movie from 1997 was L.A. Confidential. No contest.
I def use the “it’s been 84 years” meme whenever my husband goes out to pick up take out and it takes a long time for him to come back
I’ll never forget going to see Titanic in theaters the first time. I was very young teen, going as a group that included my crush, and it was my first time wearing mascara. That was OBVIOUSLY a mistake.
John's face when Scott is describing The Post Man! Priceless!🤣 It was a bad movie but maybe not as bad as Waterworld, the one where Kevin had webbed feet.
I use ziplock bags for my yarn and knit from the outside

😂😂😂hilarious!
Sorry. Love your kitty cat
I love your new movie review idea. Could never really get into Angela Lansbury. Sorry guys.
In first grade, we call it revising our thinking. Also, mistakes make your brain grow!!
The history of Norway is not correct, but anyway 😂😇 the Birkebeiner ski is 53km in Norway and they have to carrie a backpack and weight of 3,5kg that symbolizes the baby from the story. 🇳🇴 Regarding Gurli from Norway 🇳🇴
Billy Zane said his acting career went down hill after Titanic.
