You, Kent, and Toaster are having quite the road trip adventure!! It was fun to meet you all in Cody...thanks so much for stopping by to visit!! Safe travels!!
North Cascades National Park is our nearest park! Such an amazing park with minimal crowds year round. Looks like you got a great full experience there! I'm so excited about the outdoor theme sock week. Maybe I'll take mine up to NCNP for a hike and a few rows!
If you want to see a wolf go to the international wolf center in Ely Mn, plus you can check out and highlight the yarn they spin and knit from the wolves undercoats, they sell the things to raise funds to keep the wold center in operation.
I seem to recall that someone mentioned the downside to using a knitted wool cover with tablets/phones is the static charge that can be created with putting the tablet in and out. It could kill your electronic item. Their spouse was able to tell them about a material that could be used to line the inside of the knitted sleeve/cover.
I have been loving all the pictures of the National Parks you have visited on your travels. You should be sure to send some of you knitting to the Extreme Knitting Calendar folks to see if they want to include one next year.
Head out the NE entrance of Yellowstone and you are very likely to see wolveS! You also might see a grizzly in this area. That is what a park ranger told us last time we were there. ❤
When you are back in Colorado you need to check out My Sister Knits in Fort Collins. It is a great yarn shop. The Estes Park Wool Festival is next weekend also.
Had to laugh when you turned your Toaster progress keeper. I am always turning them so they show on my video but then when I am recording, it never fails they fall backward again 😅 I am doing the Wonderland Yarns Tour the Season knit and crochet subscription blanket. I have to so at least one of each square each month because I am affiliated with them but I am also still trying to get caught up so I can fully look forward to the next month 😄
I just found your podcast. I have been listening to it nonstop trying to get caught up from the first video I saw. And love the AP hat I also noticed a magnet in your other videos. We love Disney. Would love to see a video of park knitting if you make it there.
When we were in Yellowstone, we had a pack of coyotes run right in front of our car. It was such an amazing moment.... And none of us had our cameras out, so didn't even get a photo of them!
So, if I were you I would leave a larger distance between the moose and you. Moose don't have very good eyesight and have a tendency to charge things. My husband is a retired truck driver and saw a moose charge a Chevy Silverado truck and rip through the metal all the way down the drivers side of the truck. This happened west of Denver on I-70 in the mountains. I am satisfied with just seeing photos of moose. I grew up in these rockies in Wyoming and Colorado and have heard to many stories of moose attacking. I love hearing all about your travels and trips to the different state and national parks.
I thought Kent was an image that was photoshopped into the background for the first few seconds 😂 took me a while to realise he was really standing there
When you were going from Spokane to Montana, were you traveling on hwy 2? If so, you drove through my town! In Glacier National Park, was Going To The Sun road open? That is where The Weeping Wall is located. That was definitely female bighorn sheep that you encountered. And your moose was a baby female. The adults are huge! I really appreciate the respect that you and Kent show to wildlife. Very thoughtful. I hope you enjoyed Montana. Maybe you can come back through when the weather is warmer.
Glad you are going to be able to get your #blanketofknowledge box delivered! So enjoyed the travel section! Some of my favorite parks and so much wildlife!!
Another dream-filled podcast. We've been to MT once, across the river from Glacier NP. I long to go back. Question: What kind of hiking shoes do you wear, and are they comfortable? As always, you make lovely projects and and I love the yarn shop tours. Thanks for taking us along on your journey.
You are most likely loving Yellowstone. It is beautiful. I do have a fun story for you. As you are walking the wooden boardwalks of Mammoth Hot Springs. (think it was there-it was 1998) picture a 7 year old who is skipping rope as she walks. This is my daughter (she is near your age, Natalie) I look up, and following her at a close but safe distance is a teenaged elk. He (or she) it absolutely fascinated with this rope jumping. That was this same time of year, and the park wasn't too crowded. In reference to your decrease tracking trick with the light bulb markers-I don't know if she gave you the idea-but the Crazy Sock Lady does that with her socks. She marks every ten rounds on her first sock, and as she gets to the same place on her second sock she moves her marker.
My sister lives in nearby Powell and works in Cody! I am planning up a trip up from AZ in mid-June. It's so beautiful up there and really appreciated when it starts to really get hot down here. 🥵 I enjoyed your episode this week! Kent was so funny behind you. You both are doing a great job! ❤
Thank you for another great episode ! Wow ! I love the colorways at the Montana shops !! So different than what I see here in the northeast . I would love to get some of that locally raised and milled yarn from there !
I'm glad you are aware of how dangerous moose can be. They look like big lumbering silly animals, but you don't want to get anywhere near them. Male moose drop their antlers in the winter and new ones begin to grow in the spring. If you see a male moose, it won't have those classic big antlers.
LOL For a second there I only saw this dark shadowy figure behind you, and I thought you'd actually filmed Sasquatch. (I should just glue my glasses to my face at this point.) :-)
OMG, I lived in Cody and raised my family there. Enjoy your stay. Bummer, you didn’t stop in my retirement state of Idaho😢. I started the knitted version of Blanket of Knowledge because I saw yours. I was a little disappointed that the crochet pattern wasn’t included also because I thought it would be good to learn crochet after knitting. I am learning new stitches in knitting that I have never heard of. It is so exciting to get the box.
While you are traveling around Wyoming you two should stop in Thermopolis and soak in the hot springs, they also have a really cool dinosaur museum. Take this tip from a Wyoming native 😘
Can I ask do you have any plans to do Vermont? We are flying in to Boston a driving up the coast then up through Vermont and back to Boston 10day in the autumn (fall). I would love to bring home a yarn or 20 (don’t tell my BF) Recommendation grateful received.
You, Kent, and Toaster are having quite the road trip adventure!! It was fun to meet you all in Cody...thanks so much for stopping by to visit!! Safe travels!!
Thank you so much for being so respectful towards nature and animals! It‘s great to see and hear about your approach towards these things.
Beautiful Vancouver!! Great vlog. Love the yarn stores. I love ferns and lakes. ❤
Kay from crazy sock lady uses markers for her socks ..such a game changer
Crazy sock lady does that on every 10 rows for her socks. She does sock 1 with the markers and then moves them to the next sock. 💐🧶
It’s so funny you’ve made a plan to finish your wips so you can start new projects because I did the same thing just yesterday!
North Cascades National Park is our nearest park! Such an amazing park with minimal crowds year round. Looks like you got a great full experience there! I'm so excited about the outdoor theme sock week. Maybe I'll take mine up to NCNP for a hike and a few rows!
Hope you loved Yellowstone! I worked and lived there for 20 years!
Loved Kent lurking in the bushes! Enjoying your travels so much!
If you want to see a wolf go to the international wolf center in Ely Mn, plus you can check out and highlight the yarn they spin and knit from the wolves undercoats, they sell the things to raise funds to keep the wold center in operation.
Thanks, I knew about Ely and wolves, did not know about the Yarn.
I am just up the road from Ely, Voyageurs National Park for the summer.
I seem to recall that someone mentioned the downside to using a knitted wool cover with tablets/phones is the static charge that can be created with putting the tablet in and out.

I can't name it exactly, but in this episode feel some especially cheerful mood 🏞
I am pretty sure you are thinking of Kay from the crazy sock lady❤️ she uses markers like that when knitting socks❤️
Head out the NE entrance of Yellowstone and you are very likely to see wolveS! You also might see a grizzly in this area. That is what a park ranger told us last time we were there. ❤
I love your podcast so much!! Even if you're tired, you do an amazing job. I'm so excited for sock week!!
Hello from Swansea, Illinois.
lol Kent lurking in the background ❤
When you are back in Colorado you need to check out My Sister Knits in Fort Collins. It is a great yarn shop. The Estes Park Wool Festival is next weekend also.
I believe it is Crazy Sock Lady who uses the markers for her socks every 10 rounds and then transfers them over to the second sock.
Had to laugh when you turned your Toaster progress keeper. I am always turning them so they show on my video but then when I am recording, it never fails they fall backward again 😅

Honestly, I think your moms e-reader cozy looks and works great even without the snaps!
I just found your podcast. I have been listening to it nonstop trying to get caught up from the first video I saw. And love the AP hat I also noticed a magnet in your other videos. We love Disney. Would love to see a video of park knitting if you make it there.
Make sure the magnet doesn't harm your e reader screen.
The Crazy Sock Lady does the trick with the markers when she is doing socks
When we were in Yellowstone, we had a pack of coyotes run right in front of our car. It was such an amazing moment.... And none of us had our cameras out, so didn't even get a photo of them!
Cody, Wyoming! You’re just 32 miles from my hometown! Enjoy your time in the Rockies!
So, if I were you I would leave a larger distance between the moose and you. Moose don't have very good eyesight and have a tendency to charge things.

Looking forward to another dye-tour, love those!
well done podcast. Great presentation and editing.
Hope you are loving Yellowstone and Tetons. So many beautiful places in USA.
I thought Kent was an image that was photoshopped into the background for the first few seconds 😂 took me a while to realise he was really standing there
hahaha
I think it's Kay from the Crazy Sock Lady who transfers her stitch markers the same way you're doing on your sleeves!
That must be it! Thanks!
The Crazy Sock Lady moves the markers on her socks.
When you were going from Spokane to Montana, were you traveling on hwy 2? If so, you drove through my town! In Glacier National Park, was Going To The Sun road open? That is where The Weeping Wall is located.

You’re so cute 😍 I love how you laugh at yourself 🤭 a great example of emotional maturity 💛

Dutch Babies were originally from Seattle at a famous restaurant many years ago
I love Montana!! I’ll have to visit those shops the next time I go through Great Falls

The Kate from the crazy sock lady does that on socks. Hope that helps

We stopped in southern Idaho a few weeks ago to visit Three Loves Yarn 😁
While you are traveling around Wyoming you two should stop in Thermopolis and soak in the hot springs, they also have a really cool dinosaur museum. Take this tip from a Wyoming native 😘
Thank you!!
Love the hot springs, took the kiddos there for a treat when they were young.
Can I ask do you have any plans to do Vermont? We are flying in to Boston a driving up the coast then up through Vermont and back to Boston 10day in the autumn (fall). I would love to bring home a yarn or 20 (don’t tell my BF)
Recommendation grateful received.
Nora on aka Nora Knits does that with the markers on the sleeves, I learnt it from her. Such a great trick!
