sitting here knitting alone, and i literally laughed out loud when kevin said the yarn smelled like oil and sheep; ray responded "sounds like an inappropriate movie". love the humor you two have, but also the kindness that shines thru 😊
Yes. Just come on to TH-cam feeling pretty rough after medical treatment today and what pops up? 2.11 hours of one of my favourite channels. Feeling better already and snuggled down ready to watch 👍
I love the long episodes but the problem is as you’re going along I have so many little comments and by the end I can’t remember any of them. I can say I always enjoy the time spent catching up and seeing what you’re working on. This is Star btw. 😂❤❤❤
Hi guys, thank you and MyYak for the discount code - some silk yarn fell into the cart and is headed to South Africa - talk about you both being my enablers !!!! Have an amazing week and I am definitely going to be on the Zoom as Joji is one of my favourite designers.
Thank you both for another wonderful podcast. I savor watching you two! Life’s thrown me a few bumps and you bring my spirits up. Love all your knits. Beautiful sweater Kevin! Ray love your blanket and hat. You both are inspiring ❤. I appreciate your kindness and creativity.
Guys if you have bees upstairs, check directly under your window sills in the room where you found bees. I had this a few years ago. They got in under the shingles and built a nest in the wall and came right through the plaster walls under the window sill. Good luck!!!
Brilliant episode guys and what fun to have another treat night with you. Kevin, that cardi is something else - just love it and it looks brilliant on you and Ray your hat is perfecto. Such fun catching g up on what you have been doing and knitting. Your tie dye t. Shirts are fabulous. Reminds me of my youth - and that was many years ago🤭. Have a good two weeks and see you soon. Jill 🧁
Loved the cardigan and the hat. The colors in your dyed yarn are beautiful. I dye my own floss for cross stitching and keeping notes has helped in keeping the color waves.
Here’s a hint for the tye dye, if you lay the item down on a painter’s cleaning grate so the dye run off doesn’t pool and get muddy your colors come out more brilliant. I use the disposable paint tray liners and lay painters grate inside the liner makes clean up a snap 😊
So many good things! Kevin, your new sweater and the yarn you've dyed! Beautiful. Ray, that Bare Naked Wools shawl is to die for. I want to drop everything and make it. Also absolutely LOVE the colors you chose for your new sweater. Looking forward to watching you eat a new batch of snacks. Thanks so much for the joy you bring.
Kevin, you did an outstanding job on your cardigan! Ray, the Oslo hat looks like a perfect fit and that color is awesome! You guys are so inspiring to me…a newbie knitter😊
It is always so nice to see you guys😊 Kevin has become so much relaxed since he left the company world. I'm so happy that he made it❤🧡💛💚💙💜 Sometimes you don't realise how much tension have in you until it's gone. Hope it makes sense to you😊 Love you both🥰
Ray, your hap is stunning! I can't wait to see what comes next! Kevin, I love your colors! I'm not a big fan of blue, but that bright one made me gasp! And your sweater is beautiful. It fits perfectly And I think all four of your tie-dye shirts are great! I remember making one in Girl Scouts in the 1960s and I wore it until it was in pieces. The kits that you got for giveaways are fabulous! The wools for the Ambah O'Brien one are to die for! And the Advent calendar one - just wow!
Hello Kevin and Ray from Mounds Illinois. I just crocheted four baby blankets and used Caron Baby Cakes yarn. I knitted a pair of thrummed mittens they are so warm.
Hi, guys it’s me, Mary, in Oregon. Got home Saturday night from a 2week road trip to Missouri, for a grandson’s wedding and finally getting to meet my 18 month old great grandson! We had a great time. Then on to Colorado to visit my sister whom I hadn’t seen since the beginning of the pandemic; also a great time! Took some knitting with me, a top-down-cardi, and made good progress. Couldn’t knit in the car because I’m the co-pilot/map reader. Watching you today, Sunday, feels like a Welcome Home from you two guys. 🎉Love and (((hugs)))🧶🥰🧶 So glad to be home!!
You guys are so good about replying to all of these comments…I don’t mind that they aren’t personalized, but it is a bummer that TH-cam is making it harder for you! Ray, your Wool Along Hap is gorgeous! I was part of Barenaked Wool’s Barn Box for awhile. Their yarn is so beautiful and the scent when you open up that package cannot be beat! Looking forward to watching your progress!
Hi Kevin and Ray. Love your yarn you have dyed Kevin. Your jumper is beautiful Ray. So involved with watching you while knitting a sock I knitted the gusset wrong 🤣All ok now😅🧶👍🏻
Great full episode. I was able to finish the Italian bind off on a vest. Lots happening with NATR and very exciting and well deserved. Looking forward to the next tasting as they are so much fun. Take care and have a great couple of weeks.
About 17 years ago I went into my supervisor’s office (at a very busy Library) and said, “ I know this is selfish but I want to start a knitting/crochet group here.” She said, “ you are correct that is selfish but go ahead.” The group still meets on the 2nd and 4th Fridays and we average around 12 to 20 people. I retired last year and still go up to that library to knit and enjoy the conversations. Kevin thank you for the book recommendation, The Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros. Fantastic read and I suggested it to my husband and he loved it as well. November is going to be a long wait. 😃
The library knitting group has been great, such a great way to knit with people in person and to get the community together. So happy to hear you both liked the book, so excited that there will be 5 books in the series.
I also knit the Oslo hat but I did one fingering and one strand of mohair! It is my go-to for the cold Canadian winters up here in Alberta! I’m glad you knit it!
Hi Kevin and Ray, I have ordered my yarn for The Scope sweater for the MYAK summer KAL. I have chosen the baby camel yarn in Gobi and Morning glory. I love the cable cast on and have been using this cast on method since I started knitting many, many, many years ago LOL!! Loving the gorgeous FO's and WIP's, beautiful bags and thank you for sharing your yarn too. I will also be taking part in "Let's hear it for the Boys" MAL, I will be using Yarn by the Yarn Whisperer, Pattern by Max Cyr and making the So Basic Sweater for my hubby! So excited to let you know we got ourselves a new addition to the family, a sweet French Bulldog puppy who we have named Spice. Have an awesome week. xxx
I’m so thrilled you are both knitting your Anne Hanson sweaters. You will love your Stone Soup finished sweaters. The hap MWAL is chock full of information on the sheep and wool yarns. I hope you’re enjoying it Ray.
"Whoopshh" 😂😂😂I love your WIP sound effects! Ray your mystery wool-along is beautiful and I love how you said, "I did it!" Much to be proud of. Kevin, awesome sweater and the I-cord work, yep that's work!
Hi guys! I love your tie dyes. Mine always come out a mess, so I'm super impressed. Ray, my dad has orthostatic hypotension so when Kevin climbed up in the chair, I could not relax until he got down! I also would have been spotting him the whole time, lol. Also Ray's face when Kevin just threw that random us3 back into the bag... priceless.
I love barely there skeins for colorwork, when you need a good contrast. Some dyers just have colorways that are saturated and having just a nice light colorways gives me more options.
The difference between tubular bind off and Italian bind off is the tubular bind off has some set up rows similar to the cast one set up rows. Kevin that cardigan looks stunning and Ray the lace on your wool-a-long looks awesome.
Wow, love the t-shirts. Should not watch you when not very mobile as you make me laugh. Still in a plaster cast so when you make me laugh it's hard to dash to the bathroom! Love your relationship with each other .... have lost my knit and crochet mojo but hopefully it will come back post cast. Love you guys .
As long as I’ve been watching you I’m so excited for your popularity and so glad Kevin is dying yarn. I love you guys so much and always enjoy your podcasts. ❤
Genuinely amazed that you managed to read 3 books AND craft! What does a day-in-the-life of Kevin look like? Do you sleep and eat? 😂 Share your secrets!
Beautiful sweaters guys!!! Lovely yarn stash. Ray, Lucy of Attic 24 has a blog (no youtube) where she gives a very detailed pictorial tutorial on the granny stripe. Along with other crochet blanket tutorials. I have the Jan Eaton book 200 Crochet Blocks where I learned how to do the Granny Stripe. Once you start crocheting blankets, its very hard to go back to knitting them. Have fun.
Hi guys!!! I'm so glad you updated the KAL!! (So excited that I wove ends & added a charm to the "wrong" side of my beanie. 🙄...I carefully got THAT out). I posted yarn by a male dyer & actually got "dislikes" 😢 Not many "guys" in my life & the "guys" I used to knit for, well, aren't "guys" anymore, kinda. (Wellllllll one is confusing, "they" got married & having a baby with "their" partner, but......). I love the bumpy cardigan , I want one!! I don't know why someone would be concerned that the baby blanket being too big, I make ALL my baby blankets oversized, babies grow!!! 🤣😂🤣 I think all those gifted kits are Jimmy Bean's wools!! I love them SO much!! Still need to go there! Rebecca from chemknits always makes me laugh.... I think my greatest accomplishment that I learned from her was my sweetarts yarn... SO much fun! Have a great fortnight!!
Wow….love the pickle color way yarn, went immediately to order and 😢 none left! I will try to keep a lookout for you to dye up some more…..yes, please, DK if possible 😮. Thanks for another great podcast, I love Joji and have many of her patterns so I may join in.
Donna here, I watch the Bakery Bears and Kay is(was?) working on a granny stripe blanket. You might like hers since she has issues with her hands hurting and she tries to make it easier on herself.
So JC chocolate almond cake, and you had purchased the JC cookbook a while back. Still watching Anti-Chef? I'm hopelessly addicted now. Thank you for showing all your beautiful projects. Such a pleasure.
OMG So 17:54. I'm happy to hear that you are knitting a Shetland Hap. I just got back from a Knitting Tour of Scotland and Shetland. If you can ever take that tour Irish Knitting Tours, you will be over the moon! Sending you this message from Mtl, 2 Kisses, love you 😍
There are 2 tours of Ireland, North & South. I did Northern Ireland, Scotland and this June Scotland and Shetland. All 3 were above expectations. Slainte!
Loved everything you finished and are working on!! Wish I had been better at logging on to Ravelry. Would have loved to moderate for you! Feel free to reach out if you need anyone else! Thanks for doing this video and you can be certain I’ll be tuning in to “After Dark”! ❤
Hi Kevin and Ray As usual you both crack me up Kevin your dyes are gorgeous colours …continue to do well in it .. I know you’ll go a long way !!! Both if your knits are beautiful 🎉 They are censoring all we do right now I’m from Canada and it’s getting deep But love you guys and have a great week !! 😊💝🇨🇦🇨🇦
Today I had jury duty so I took an Oslo hat to knit, just round and round and round…. Got a few inches done I’m doing the medium based on your experience! Thanks for podding
@@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast I realized after closing the brim that I have ‘sealed’ the cast on tail inside…and it was knotted because it was so long 😂 😂 I’m not undoing it. It’ll be for my son and I won’t even tell him, he may never notice the lumpy bit 😂 😝 Thanks guys for being so entertaining. Have a great day! 💜
I only ever knew the cable cast on and didn’t realise as a young knitter that were other cast ons 🤣🤣🤣. I do go back to it all the time as it looks great.
Hi! Lesley from Australia here. Why does YT need to change our names - very weird. I loved the episode and all the goss from your part of the world. You have had a very productive couple of weeks and everything you showed is lovely. Thanks for sharing xx
I found a video of a woman talking about rating her 14 kinds of crochet hooks. I didn't know there were so many. I was brought up on Susan Bates, the only ones our stores sold. Her number one crochet hook was your Clover ones!!! I had bought some when I saw them on sale and I am so glad that I bought them even though I needed them like another hole in my head! The tie dye is great. Brings me back to Girl Scout leader days at camp! I always love seeing your projects and yarns. I am making a lacy shawl and I do find I need to concentrate and also hope not to drop a stitch. Hey, what happened to not buying yarn and using your stash....🤣😁😂? I keep telling myself to stop buying yarn but I can't, I just can't! Who knows what will happen after I hit that "more" button. Can't wait to try some more international food and "drink"! Those shows are hilariousas the time
I say this honestly and from my ♥️. I appreciate and trust what you share. That is why I tried the crochet hooks. It didn't hurt either that they were on sale when I got the urge! Yay Ray!
Tie dyed shirts are so cute...flash back! Love all of your projects. You inspire me with your enthusiasm!! What do you do with all of the leftover yarns from your projects. I don't remember ever hearing you mention any scrappy projects!! Hope your goodie box arrives soon...I'm ready for some good laughs! 😅
We have all the left over yarn stored in a rubber container, we go in there and use them for heels and toes for socks, sometimes use them for hats. We should try and use the left over yarn more.
Absolutely love the tie dye. Now I want to get a kit. Love the cardigan. Looks so good on you. When I was a kid, everytime we went to a county or state fair we would do a shirt in that spinning thing. What fun that was.
My iPad froze and I didn't get to edit and finish the last sentence. It should read....Those shows are hilarious especially as the time goes on or to the last drop! 🥂
Awesome another beautiful podcast of the boys. Thanks for sharing everything. Would love to be in the myak knit along but unfortunately I have to work.😅
I just got back from Ireland. It was beautiful. I was a bit disappointed in the lack of yarn stores. I did find a great store in Dublin that was open like 4 days a week. Some of the sweater store had a small amount of yarn. I got to feel LITLG and it is a beautiful yarn.
Fun episode, guys!! Loved all the stuff. I especially love the Thrummed Mittens kits!! You def should try to make them. I made some for Christmas gifts this year. ❤ They are quick and come out so cool!!!
Sorry for the late comment, but I'm several weeks behind on my podcasts. Love the tie-dye shirts, guys! (P.S. if you go to Ireland, please take me with you. 😜)
I like all the things you showed and your projects. Would like to see a bit mor of your yarns. Now, I saw yesterday a show, full of blood, but really funny….cocaine bear….prime. Keep at it, love it, love you.
I tried to enter the woolens and nosh , but I went to the web site then to yours and couldn’t remember what I picked. Tough getting old , I do like her yarn and have bought some thanks to you.
Ooh, I'd love to join the Summer KAL. I've been wanting to knit Pure Joy for so long. If I look like I haven't been to bed on the zoom it's because it will be 3.30am Saturday morning for me but I'd love to join in.
It's a happy Saturday when I see a new NATR podcast uploaded. Kevin, your cardigan came out sooo good. It looks so comfy. I've been crocheting a lot of blankets lately (in between all the sock knitting). Every time I want to try a new pattern it never works out for the yarn I have so I end up making my 'old reliable' Project Linus Crocheted Blanket by Cindy Adams (free pattern on Ravelry). It's a super easy 3 stitch pattern that works for any weight yarn. And Kevin I love all the new colors you dyed up. I WANT ALL THE YARN !!!! 🥰~ see you in a fortnight. Mary Beth (MommaBethKnits)
Just put next week’s Live Zoom party on my calendar. Planning my wine and snacks already. I did party with my in person friends this weekend so I am not a total looser. Haha (?)
Would you consider doing a give away for a crochet project I crochet more than I knit I am just learning to knit at this time. Thanks so much for considering this! Love watching you guys you make my week.

sitting here knitting alone, and i literally laughed out loud when kevin said the yarn smelled like oil and sheep; ray responded "sounds like an inappropriate movie". love the humor you two have, but also the kindness that shines thru 😊
LOL, glad you got a chuckle during the video.
Yes. Just come on to TH-cam feeling pretty rough after medical treatment today and what pops up? 2.11 hours of one of my favourite channels. Feeling better already and snuggled down ready to watch 👍
Hi Carol, Hope you are feeling better, thank you so much for watching and commenting, we really appreciate it.
Another great podcast and I couldn’t believe it when you called my name out for the spring cleaning MAL 🎉. Email sent and thank you 💚💛
Congratulations!!! 🎉
Congratulations!!!
Congratulations !
Awe Kevin secretly knit your beautiful Ray the gorgeous sweater. ❤You both are so adorable, my knitting, crocheting, yarny warriors. 😊
Maybe one day I'll do that. 😊
Ray's going to plan a vow renewal so he can try and get Kevin to share his knits
LOL, he is still trying to figure out how he is going to wear it.
I love the long episodes but the problem is as you’re going along I have so many little comments and by the end I can’t remember any of them. I can say I always enjoy the time spent catching up and seeing what you’re working on. This is Star btw. 😂❤❤❤
Hi Star, Hope you are doing well.
Same here!!
Hi guys, thank you and MyYak for the discount code - some silk yarn fell into the cart and is headed to South Africa - talk about you both being my enablers !!!! Have an amazing week and I am definitely going to be on the Zoom as Joji is one of my favourite designers.
Yay, glad to hear that you took advantage of the code.
Thank you both for another wonderful podcast. I savor watching you two! Life’s thrown me a few bumps and you bring my spirits up. Love all your knits. Beautiful sweater Kevin! Ray love your blanket and hat. You both are inspiring ❤. I appreciate your kindness and creativity.
Hi Karen, Hope you are doing well. Thank you for watching, glad we were able to lift your spirits.
Guys if you have bees upstairs, check directly under your window sills in the room where you found bees. I had this a few years ago. They got in under the shingles and built a nest in the wall and came right through the plaster walls under the window sill. Good luck!!!
Thankfully, we haven't seen any more bees.
Amazing sweater Kevin! Love your show!
Thank you 😊
Love your tie dyed shirts! They look great!
Thanks, we had fun doing it.
Thank you again gentleman. Always entertaining and so so fun! ❤
Glad you enjoyed it, we appreciate you watching and commenting.
Brilliant episode guys and what fun to have another treat night with you. Kevin, that cardi is something else - just love it and it looks brilliant on you and Ray your hat is perfecto. Such fun catching g up on what you have been doing and knitting. Your tie dye t. Shirts are fabulous. Reminds me of my youth - and that was many years ago🤭. Have a good two weeks and see you soon. Jill 🧁
Thank you, I am so happy with the cardigan. We had a blast with the tie dying and plan on doing more.
Loved the cardigan and the hat. The colors in your dyed yarn are beautiful. I dye my own floss for cross stitching and keeping notes has helped in keeping the color waves.
I am getting much better at my notes now that I am doing this full time.
I did see your picture on Ravelry, Ray! Wonderful pic. Showed it to my husband and now he wants that sweater😊. Love you guys.
Thank you, it was a great knit.
Here’s a hint for the tye dye, if you lay the item down on a painter’s cleaning grate so the dye run off doesn’t pool and get muddy your colors come out more brilliant. I use the disposable paint tray liners and lay painters grate inside the liner makes clean up a snap 😊
Thank you for the tip.
Great cardigan Kevin. It fits so well!
Thank you, I am so happy with it and the fit.
We are so excited to be co-hosting the Joji KAL with you and can’t wait to virtually see you on July 7th. Love the T-shirts !!!
Thank you, we are super excited.
You guys are awesome. I feel like sharing knitwear is a silent wedding vow. Hahaha
LOL, yes!! OMG how funny 🥰🤣
Yes, a fabulous tasting!! Laughter at the Ready, for sure. Love your hap, it’s gorgeous.
We are really looking forward to it.
The blue gray, the gray, and the sage would make a beautiful fade!!
Thank you, I am really happy how they turned out, hoping to recreate the colors again.
I love that you are going to your library for knit night. I’m starting a group at my library, and I’m very excited.
That is so awesome, it has been really nice to spend time knitting with people in person.
So many good things! Kevin, your new sweater and the yarn you've dyed! Beautiful. Ray, that Bare Naked Wools shawl is to die for. I want to drop everything and make it. Also absolutely LOVE the colors you chose for your new sweater. Looking forward to watching you eat a new batch of snacks. Thanks so much for the joy you bring.
Thank you Donna!
Just catching up with all your episodes. We have a library knitting group too every Tuesday nights. It is so nice. Glad you found a library group.
Wonderful! We are loving ours, such a fun time
Kevin, you did an outstanding job on your cardigan! Ray, the Oslo hat looks like a perfect fit and that color is awesome! You guys are so inspiring to me…a newbie knitter😊
Thank you, I love the cardigan. So fun hearing from a new knitter, these are all great projects to try out.
It is always so nice to see you guys😊 Kevin has become so much relaxed since he left the company world. I'm so happy that he made it❤🧡💛💚💙💜 Sometimes you don't realise how much tension have in you until it's gone. Hope it makes sense to you😊 Love you both🥰
I am so happy to be out of the corporate world, I have definitely become more relaxed.
Great podcast guys! I would LOVE to see Ray dye up a color way for the shop! And a video to go along with that process could be fun?!?!?
Sounds fun! We'll see how things line up 😀
Ray, your hap is stunning! I can't wait to see what comes next!
Kevin, I love your colors! I'm not a big fan of blue, but that bright one made me gasp! And your sweater is beautiful. It fits perfectly
And I think all four of your tie-dye shirts are great! I remember making one in Girl Scouts in the 1960s and I wore it until it was in pieces.
The kits that you got for giveaways are fabulous! The wools for the Ambah O'Brien one are to die for! And the Advent calendar one - just wow!
Thank you Kim.
Hello Kevin and Ray from Mounds Illinois. I just crocheted four baby blankets and used Caron Baby Cakes yarn. I knitted a pair of thrummed mittens they are so warm.
We are definitely going to give the thrummed mittens a try.
Another great episode.. loved your Oslo hat and Kevin that sweater looks awesome on you. Looking forward to your live after dark . Take care❤
Thanks so much!
Great job on your shirts! Thanks for an enjoyable watch!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the entertaining podcast! I really enjoyed it, especially the Wips and acquisitions!
Thank you so much for watching Kathleen.
Hi, guys it’s me, Mary, in Oregon. Got home Saturday night from a 2week road trip to Missouri, for a grandson’s wedding and finally getting to meet my 18 month old great grandson! We had a great time. Then on to Colorado to visit my sister whom I hadn’t seen since the beginning of the pandemic; also a great time! Took some knitting with me, a top-down-cardi, and made good progress. Couldn’t knit in the car because I’m the co-pilot/map reader.
Watching you today, Sunday, feels like a Welcome Home from you two guys. 🎉Love and (((hugs)))🧶🥰🧶 So glad to be home!!
Sounds like you had a great trip Mary.
You guys are so good about replying to all of these comments…I don’t mind that they aren’t personalized, but it is a bummer that TH-cam is making it harder for you! Ray, your Wool Along Hap is gorgeous! I was part of Barenaked Wool’s Barn Box for awhile. Their yarn is so beautiful and the scent when you open up that package cannot be beat! Looking forward to watching your progress!
Hi Heather, Their yarn is wonderful to work with and Ray is really love the MAL.
Hi Kevin and Ray. Love your yarn you have dyed Kevin. Your jumper is beautiful Ray. So involved with watching you while knitting a sock I knitted the gusset wrong 🤣All ok now😅🧶👍🏻
Hi Judy! Hope you got the gusset fixed, thank you so much for watching.
Beautiful sweaters guys! Ray I forgot to comment on your last podcast. Very inspiring work. Thanks for another fun podcast, Eileen
Thanks so much, Eileen! 🥰
Great full episode. I was able to finish the Italian bind off on a vest. Lots happening with NATR and very exciting and well deserved. Looking forward to the next tasting as they are so much fun. Take care and have a great couple of weeks.
Thank you Sharon, we are excited with all the stuff happening and the tasting.

That's a great idea! I haven't used much mohair, but I bet it would be nice with a strand of suri too 😀
Thank you so very much for the magnificent review of the owl post I sent. You ROCK!!! I can't thank you enough ❤
Thank you so much for always being so supportive of the channel, we really appreciate it.
Hi Kevin and Ray, I have ordered my yarn for The Scope sweater for the MYAK summer KAL. I have chosen the baby camel yarn in Gobi and Morning glory.

Hi Linda, So many great projects you will working on. Congrats on the new puppy, love the name.
Great knitting and crocheting Kevin an Ray! Daisy farm crafts is great crochet tutorial channel. 🥰,Sharon.
Thank you for the recommendation.
I’m so thrilled you are both knitting your Anne Hanson sweaters. You will love your Stone Soup finished sweaters. The hap MWAL is chock full of information on the sheep and wool yarns. I hope you’re enjoying it Ray.
Hi Robin, Thank you so much for the patterns, so happy we are getting around to finally making them.
"Whoopshh" 😂😂😂I love your WIP sound effects! Ray your mystery wool-along is beautiful and I love how you said, "I did it!" Much to be proud of. Kevin, awesome sweater and the I-cord work, yep that's work!
Thank you, we are both super pleased with these projects.
Thank you for another great podcast. Your FOs and WIPs are gorgeous and the tie dye shirts are so cool.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting, we really appreciate it.
Ray, that Hap shanklet is stunning! I love it!
Thank you, it has been really fun to work on.
Hi guys! I love your tie dyes. Mine always come out a mess, so I'm super impressed. Ray, my dad has orthostatic hypotension so when Kevin climbed up in the chair, I could not relax until he got down! I also would have been spotting him the whole time, lol. Also Ray's face when Kevin just threw that random us3 back into the bag... priceless.
The tie dye was fun, we will be doing more of it, would be fun gifts for the nieces and nephews.
I love barely there skeins for colorwork, when you need a good contrast. Some dyers just have colorways that are saturated and having just a nice light colorways gives me more options.
Agreed, the barely there are really nice for subtle colors in knitting.
I love Frozen Grasshopper!! I received it last week and am deciding what to make with it. Love it!
Yay, so happy you are happy with the yarn. Thank you for supporting the shop.
The difference between tubular bind off and Italian bind off is the tubular bind off has some set up rows similar to the cast one set up rows. Kevin that cardigan looks stunning and Ray the lace on your wool-a-long looks awesome.
Thanks, we both are so happy with the projects.
So as soon as Ray mentioned this did anyone else stop the video and go buy yarn . . .I did! And Kevin your sweater is absolutely perfect! Great job!
Thank you, I am so happy with how the cardigan turned out.
Thanks for modifying the LHIFTB MAL rules! I have some Twisted Ambitions yarn I had planned to use during this MAL, and now I can! 😊
Awesome, glad you will be using his yarn, he is a great dyer.
Always love watching you guys 😊
Yay! Thank you!
Ray, your Hap is looking great. The lace portion is beautiful. Kevin, love your dyeing. I just had to get a skein of Monsters U. Great podcast.
Thank you so much for watching, commenting and supporting the Etsy shop, we really appreciate it.
Ray, love the Mystery Knit along Blanket! The lace is beautiful. Can't wait to see the finish. Great job.
Thank you! It has been a fun to do this MAL.
Wow, love the t-shirts. Should not watch you when not very mobile as you make me laugh. Still in a plaster cast so when you make me laugh it's hard to dash to the bathroom! Love your relationship with each other .... have lost my knit and crochet mojo but hopefully it will come back post cast. Love you guys .
Hope you have a speedy recovery and that your mojo comes back.
As long as I’ve been watching you I’m so excited for your popularity and so glad Kevin is dying yarn. I love you guys so much and always enjoy your podcasts. ❤
Thank you so much Pam.
Genuinely amazed that you managed to read 3 books AND craft! What does a day-in-the-life of Kevin look like? Do you sleep and eat? 😂 Share your secrets!
I was thinking the same thing! 😂
I think Kevin works from dying yarn and Etsy shop orders so maybe he takes breaks and reads
LOL I try and read for 1 hour a night before bed, craft in the morning with coffee, at night after dinner, and the work at dying during the day.
Beautiful sweaters guys!!! Lovely yarn stash. Ray, Lucy of Attic 24 has a blog (no youtube) where she gives a very detailed pictorial tutorial on the granny stripe. Along with other crochet blanket tutorials. I have the Jan Eaton book 200 Crochet Blocks where I learned how to do the Granny Stripe. Once you start crocheting blankets, its very hard to go back to knitting them. Have fun.
Hi Donna, Thank you for the recommendation, I will check that out.
Yay, Rhinebeck!! I am going for the first time this fall. Hope to meet you and some other Podcasters!
You will love Rhinebeck…it’s my 4th time going and I am excited as my first visit…😄🧶💗
@@PatValenzano Oooh, do you have any recommendations for how to go about Rhinebeck...?
Yay, you will love it, Saturday is a bit hectic and Sunday is pretty chill. If you see us definitely stop us and say hi.
Hi guys!!!
I'm so glad you updated the KAL!!
(So excited that I wove ends & added a charm to the "wrong" side of my beanie. 🙄...I carefully got THAT out).
I posted yarn by a male dyer & actually got "dislikes" 😢
Not many "guys" in my life & the "guys" I used to knit for, well, aren't "guys" anymore, kinda. (Wellllllll one is confusing, "they" got married & having a baby with "their" partner, but......).
I love the bumpy cardigan , I want one!!
I don't know why someone would be concerned that the baby blanket being too big, I make ALL my baby blankets oversized, babies grow!!! 🤣😂🤣
I think all those gifted kits are Jimmy Bean's wools!! I love them SO much!! Still need to go there!
Rebecca from chemknits always makes me laugh.... I think my greatest accomplishment that I learned from her was my sweetarts yarn... SO much fun!
Have a great fortnight!!
Hi Patti, the advent from Jimmy Beans is really cool. Love watching ChemKnits videos, they have been super helpful.
Had a lot of fun with you guys, thanks
Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
Wow….love the pickle color way yarn, went immediately to order and 😢 none left! I will try to keep a lookout for you to dye up some more…..yes, please, DK if possible 😮. Thanks for another great podcast, I love Joji and have many of her patterns so I may join in.
Aww, I am going to see if I can replicate that color, it was pretty popular.
I did the Sunset Throw by Lionbrand. It is a granny ripple and so much fun to make. You are always an inspiration, thanks!
Oh fun! I'll have to look that up, thanks 🥰
Donna here, I watch the Bakery Bears and Kay is(was?) working on a granny stripe blanket. You might like hers since she has issues with her hands hurting and she tries to make it easier on herself.
Thank you for sharing, we will have to watch, we haven't seen that episode yet.
So JC chocolate almond cake, and you had purchased the JC cookbook a while back. Still watching Anti-Chef? I'm hopelessly addicted now. Thank you for showing all your beautiful projects. Such a pleasure.
We are still watching Anti-Chef, it's such a great channel.
OMG So 17:54. I'm happy to hear that you are knitting a Shetland Hap. I just got back from a Knitting Tour of Scotland and Shetland. If you can ever take that tour Irish Knitting Tours, you will be over the moon! Sending you this message from Mtl, 2 Kisses, love you 😍
A Irish Knitting tour sounds amazing. We are definitely considering a trip to Ireland in the new year or two.
There are 2 tours of Ireland, North & South. I did Northern Ireland, Scotland and this June Scotland and Shetland. All 3 were above expectations. Slainte!
Loved everything you finished and are working on!! Wish I had been better at logging on to Ravelry. Would have loved to moderate for you! Feel free to reach out if you need anyone else! Thanks for doing this video and you can be certain I’ll be tuning in to “After Dark”! ❤
Thank you so much Maryann.
Hi Kevin and Ray
As usual you both crack me up
Kevin your dyes are gorgeous colours …continue to do well in it .. I know you’ll go a long way !!!
Both if your knits are beautiful 🎉
They are censoring all we do right now
I’m from Canada and it’s getting deep
But love you guys and have a great week !!
😊💝🇨🇦🇨🇦
Thanks so much!
So there are professionals that can come and relocate hives that bees might make around or as part of your home... 🐝 ❤
Good to know, we are keeping an eye out to see if there is a hive, luckily nothing yet.
Happy Saturday to me! Finished my 2nd pair of TAAT socks! Now I am sitting here casting on my Lava Lake!
Yay, love the lava lake shawl.
I just order yarn for Jojis Solare and used the 15 off. Thank you so much!
Yay, glad you will be joining the KAL.
Today I had jury duty so I took an Oslo hat to knit, just round and round and round…. Got a few inches done I’m doing the medium based on your experience!
Thanks for podding
The hat fits pretty well at the medium, hope it fits you as well.
@@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast I realized after closing the brim that I have ‘sealed’ the cast on tail inside…and it was knotted because it was so long 😂 😂 I’m not undoing it. It’ll be for my son and I won’t even tell him, he may never notice the lumpy bit 😂 😝
Thanks guys for being so entertaining. Have a great day! 💜
I only ever knew the cable cast on and didn’t realise as a young knitter that were other cast ons 🤣🤣🤣. I do go back to it all the time as it looks great.
It is really lovely, I always forget about it, but will be using it more.
Great show. And I have an idea. Come to Vancouver and bring that tinned advent to me! Love all those skeins Kevin. Good job!
We would love to come to Vancouver.
Hi! Lesley from Australia here. Why does YT need to change our names - very weird. I loved the episode and all the goss from your part of the world. You have had a very productive couple of weeks and everything you showed is lovely. Thanks for sharing xx
Thank you Lesley! I know the change is weird.
The joy of traveling by car is that you can pack for the “possible” needs and wants…😄…bring plenty of possibles…😉
It really is, we pack so much traveling by car.
I found a video of a woman talking about rating her 14 kinds of crochet hooks. I didn't know there were so many. I was brought up on Susan Bates, the only ones our stores sold. Her number one crochet hook was your Clover ones!!! I had bought some when I saw them on sale and I am so glad that I bought them even though I needed them like another hole in my head! The tie dye is great. Brings me back to Girl Scout leader days at camp! I always love seeing your projects and yarns. I am making a lacy shawl and I do find I need to concentrate and also hope not to drop a stitch. Hey, what happened to not buying yarn and using your stash....🤣😁😂? I keep telling myself to stop buying yarn but I can't, I just can't! Who knows what will happen after I hit that "more" button. Can't wait to try some more international food and "drink"! Those shows are hilariousas the time
Hi Jane, They really are the best, Ray has tried all different brands and always goes back to the clover ones.
I say this honestly and from my ♥️. I appreciate and trust what you share. That is why I tried the crochet hooks. It didn't hurt either that they were on sale when I got the urge! Yay Ray!
Your Hap is incredible…Glad you are enjoying it. Saw you on the first call. Great fun!
It been a really fun knit, can't wait for the finished product.
Tie dyed shirts are so cute...flash back! Love all of your projects. You inspire me with your enthusiasm!! What do you do with all of the leftover yarns from your projects. I don't remember ever hearing you mention any scrappy projects!!
Hope your goodie box arrives soon...I'm ready for some good laughs! 😅
We have all the left over yarn stored in a rubber container, we go in there and use them for heels and toes for socks, sometimes use them for hats. We should try and use the left over yarn more.
Absolutely love the tie dye. Now I want to get a kit. Love the cardigan. Looks so good on you.
When I was a kid, everytime we went to a county or state fair we would do a shirt in that spinning thing. What fun that was.
Thank you, so happy with the cardigan. We both a looking forward to tie dying again. We might get a kit from dharma trading co.
Kool beans!’
My iPad froze and I didn't get to edit and finish the last sentence. It should read....Those shows are hilarious especially as the time goes on or to the last drop! 🥂
Awesome another beautiful podcast of the boys. Thanks for sharing everything. Would love to be in the myak knit along but unfortunately I have to work.😅
Aww there will be a few more zooms, hopefully you will be able to make it to one of those.
Kevin, hooked by Robin has excellent videos for crochet.
Thank you for the suggestion, I will check that channel out.
I just got back from Ireland. It was beautiful. I was a bit disappointed in the lack of yarn stores. I did find a great store in Dublin that was open like 4 days a week. Some of the sweater store had a small amount of yarn. I got to feel LITLG and it is a beautiful yarn.
We are hoping to travel to Ireland in the next 2 years.
Fun episode, guys!! Loved all the stuff. I especially love the Thrummed Mittens kits!! You def should try to make them. I made some for Christmas gifts this year. ❤ They are quick and come out so cool!!!
We will definitely give them a try.
I would love to try some Myak! Thanks for sharing ❤
Glad to hear you are taking advantage of the code. Hope you love the yarn when it arrives.
Sorry for the late comment, but I'm several weeks behind on my podcasts. Love the tie-dye shirts, guys! (P.S. if you go to Ireland, please take me with you. 😜)
I like all the things you showed and your projects. Would like to see a bit mor of your yarns. Now, I saw yesterday a show, full of blood, but really funny….cocaine bear….prime. Keep at it, love it, love you.
We heard cocaine bear was really fun.
I tried to enter the woolens and nosh , but I went to the web site then to yours and couldn’t remember what I picked. Tough getting old , I do like her yarn and have bought some thanks to you.
Omg! There’s a ThunderCats bag on that shelf!!! 😮magic
OMG that was such an impulse buy! How could we say no to Thundercats.
YES! NATR After Dark!
We are super excited for it.
Ooh, I'd love to join the Summer KAL. I've been wanting to knit Pure Joy for so long. If I look like I haven't been to bed on the zoom it's because it will be 3.30am Saturday morning for me but I'd love to join in.
LOL, wow that's super early!!
It's a happy Saturday when I see a new NATR podcast uploaded. Kevin, your cardigan came out sooo good. It looks so comfy. I've been crocheting a lot of blankets lately (in between all the sock knitting). Every time I want to try a new pattern it never works out for the yarn I have so I end up making my 'old reliable' Project Linus Crocheted Blanket by Cindy Adams (free pattern on Ravelry). It's a super easy 3 stitch pattern that works for any weight yarn.
And Kevin I love all the new colors you dyed up. I WANT ALL THE YARN !!!! 🥰~ see you in a fortnight. Mary Beth (MommaBethKnits)
Thank you, I am so happy with the cardigan, I have also really been enjoying my journey of dying yarn.
Just put next week’s Live Zoom party on my calendar. Planning my wine and snacks already. I did party with my in person friends this weekend so I am not a total looser. Haha (?)
Yay, we are looking forward to it, we always have a blast doing the lives.
I love Kevins’ cardigan!!
Thank you, I am so happy with how it turned out.
Yes I noticed that Scandinavian knits book too😉!
It's so good!
Hi guys so good to catch you this evening in Tuscany instead of my usual Belgium.
Hi Tina, Hope you are doing well.
Great progress on your Hap!
Thank you Barbara.
Would you consider doing a give away for a crochet project I crochet more than I knit I am just learning to knit at this time. Thanks so much for considering this! Love watching you guys you make my week.
Hi Melanie, We are actually talking about having a crochet a long before the year ends.
