I’ve been enjoying catching up on all of your videos. I’d love for you to interview your mom. You’ve mentioned she’s who taught you to knit and I’m guessing an inspiration. 🧶
i love the funeral pieces and the cartoon character uniforms 😂 i use stitch markers to track my rows of stockinette, i started marking every 5th row and now i mark every 10! it’s a lot easier to keep track and doesn’t require me to mark the row immediately after i finish it. hope this makes sense lol
I'm a mom of twins and they are my only kids, and I get asked all the time what's it like to be a mom of twins! I also get asked about fun twin stories I have and how I can tell them apart, they are identical. I always say that being a mom of twins is all I know and don't know any different!! ❤
That was highly enjoyable. I find it easier to distinguish you two after some regular viewing. Your knits are beautiful and I have discovered new designers from watching. It's nice to meet your cat. Thank you for posting.
Best handworked items to show on your funeral. What a great idea! Such an enjoyable episode. I am currently knitting the "Rayure" sweater in alternating stripes of fingering and lace weight yarn in the same colour.
I enjoyed your comments about your knitting bags and what’s in them. I too have a random collection of bags I’ve saved over the years- nothing special but they all can hold knitting! No special markers for me either- I too prioritize purchasing yarn! Love the notebook too- I like pencil and paper and have no interest in any of the knitting apps.
Always love your knits. And they seem to always be so beautifully blocked (maybe you should do a demo!). I feel like I have a lot of wips but they are all on the downhill slide. A pair of boring socks for my dad, the Ilha sweater in Debbie Bliss pure silk, the Tanaka in Malabrigo Mecha bulky, the Caroline shawl, and the Maja cardigan. I can’t wait to cast on the Ester jacket and the Golden Sand shawl!
Such a fun episode, thank you x I can’t count either. I have part of an old necklace chain with large links on a lightbulb stitch marker and I notch it along a link every time I knit a row. I add another stitch marker to count the tens if needed. Because I have it at the BOR or swap it to the end of every row if knitting flat, I have to handle it each time I finish a round or row. That means I don’t forget. It’s pretty foolproof and the only thing that works for me.
Always enjoy watching your podcast, love your beautiful knits! After watching one of your earlier podcasts, I am knitting the Kelly sweater with the suggested yarn from Sandnes Garn. I am doing the 1x1 rib on Jessica’s suggestion! No split hem either…I do love the yarn, it blocks out so beautiful and soft! A perfect lightweight knit😊
Great episode. I’ve been knitting baby knits for gifting. Avid garment and sock knitter. I’ve recently cast on the hibernal dk weight socks holding fingering and mohair and they are decadent. Totally recommend
Hi Rachel and Jessica! It was fun to hang out with you. 😀I loved hearing about your top 3 knits and twin stories. I am knitting the DRK Everyday Sweater in Rowan Alpaca Soft DK. I am super sensitive to wool. I thought this yarn would be okay but just tried it on and it was itchy.😢I will continue though and hope that it softens up with washing.
What a fun video! Love your funeral category 🤣 I am wearing my just finished sweater no.28 (has the same neck design as Jessica's sweater but its very drapey and I really like it) and I am working on my 70% finished cardigan no.8 and my just started Sofie wrap sweater.
Hello there! Your podcast is one of my absolute favorites to listen to and I just I love your aesthetic and style. I would say that I’m an intermediate level knitter, and so I still have a lot to learn. One of the biggest questions I have right now as I start to build my wardrobe is how do you store all of your many knits? Do you hang them up, or do you store them away in bags to keep them safe from overstretching and moths? Do you wash them frequently, and if so, do your just hand wash them in a tub? I am always curious about where people put their knits and how they handle them as I think they are so much more precious than store bought clothes…
I can relate to people coming up to me confidently like they knew me. When I was teaching elementary school, parents would come up to me when I was out running errands. On Back to School night, I met 60 parents or more, and stood up at the front of the auditorium at the start of the night, so hundreds of parents knew me by name. They only met maybe one new teacher that night, so they remembered me. I would just greet them cordially, but sometimes have no idea who they were.
This was such a fun episode! If you ever do another one of these, I would love to see more of your knits from before you started the podcast and hear about how your style has changed over time. I love all of the things you both make!
Loved hearing about your knitting and your personal lives. I am curious to know whether you both got married in the same year and what your husbands are doing. Thanks for your inspiration. I love your Esthetics.
Your knit and chat was quite enjoyable. I have noticed that you most often use neutral-colored yarn. Has that always been the case? I am working on blanket #2 for my first grandchildren … two GIRLS due in June!!! 💕💕
I love you two being twins. I have twins also in KC area,, men almost 40. Never been tested. They are different people but they get along well. I love that about you two as well. Enjoyed your cast this time!
I am working on the phases sweater by Jennifer Berg, it’s too big, cus I didn’t swatch, but I am going to finish it, as I don’t feel like frogging all the colour work, it’s my first colourwork yoke, and you can tell☺️. My next one is going to be one with shorter floats! Thanks for chatting with us, love all your choices of knits, and yarns .
What a lovely video. Thanks for sharing some of your life with us and definitely your knitting, which is beautiful. I am about a 3 WIP max, too. I currently have on the needles a pair of vanilla socks, a Felix Cardigan and the Papillon Shawl. I do have a 4th WIP, but it is a very long term scrappy blanket - the Sweet Shop Blanket by Laura Penrose, which I only knit on it at night before bed. So I don’t really count it 😊 Take care!!
Love your knitting company, and so inspirational to me. I am knitting on my structure loop sweater, just finished the first upper part, and listening to you and doing the neckband. Nice to hear some more of your life story, and there were good questions you answered. Love that you don't have so much knitting stæsh, only basic
Such a nice episode, loved the mix of questions. My twin and I are also A and B personalities! She also has books of crossed off numbers and I count my rows. She’s a scientist and I’m an analyst so fairly similar careers but I just can’t do the notebook thing like she does 😂
Lovely episode, it's nice to hear your thoughts around these questions! I am currently knitting on the Johanne Loop sweater by Other loops and I am planning on making the Cloud sweater by Petite knit with 3 strands of mohair instead of what she uses next :) hope that will turn out well...
Hi! I'm an identical twin and there is another way to find out if you are identical or fraternal. It relies on your mom's memory from your birth. If there was only one placenta you are identical. Two placentas = fraternal. Maybe your mom remembers and can tell you.
@@thosetwinswhoknit Well, you really do look identical and you're mom would remember if she had passed 2 placentas 😁. My sister and I find that we go in phases of looking like each other, so maybe you're in the phase of looking a little less like each other and will swing back to being almost exactly the same.
My younger sister found out that there are two placenta in 1/3 of identical twins. Depends on how early the dividing happens. Identicals are always different, yet somewhat also similar people.
You are definitely identical twins. I' know a lot of paternal twins, and they never look alike. Even identical twins have differences in looks and personalities. You made me laugh about having a cat and yarn and are ready for retirement. It's great!
The description of the funeral category had me in tears. That was hilarious.
Funeral pieces! 😂. So cute. Definitely put the Poet Socks in my Bucket List queue. Great episode.❤
This was such a fun knit and chat! 🧶

I love your incredible description and production of your beautiful knits. Very impressive and loved. 👏🙏🏼💕
Great episode! Love the Q&A knit chats and would love more about your mom teaching you and how you improved your knitting over time! 😊
Best handworked items to show on your funeral. What a great idea! Such an enjoyable episode. I am currently knitting the "Rayure" sweater in alternating stripes of fingering and lace weight yarn in the same colour.
Loved getting to knit along on my cumulus blouse while watching this knit and chat!
Ahh I’m hoping to get one cast on soon too! 🤗
I really enjoyed this episode.❤
Thank you for the chat.
I was knitting on the Copenhagen Cardigan by Petite Knit while listening you, I am using Hillesvåg Tinde norwegian wool
That is such a beautiful pattern! We hope you were able to make good progress! ☺️
I enjoyed your knit and chat! I knitted on my Sammal cardigan by Joji Locatelli while I watched.
I enjoyed your comments about your knitting bags and what’s in them. I too have a random collection of bags I’ve saved over the years- nothing special but they all can hold knitting! No special markers for me either- I too prioritize purchasing yarn! Love the notebook too- I like pencil and paper and have no interest in any of the knitting apps.
That was a fun episode!!
I love watching you girls! I keep hoping that I’ll make it to KC sometime where we could meet! I live in Wichita. Loved the Q &A section today.
We keep hoping to make it out to Wichita one of these days, so hopefully it’ll work out on one side or other eventually! 🤍

Not really a fan of knit and chats but I am throughly enjoying yours. Knitting on my step by step sweater as I watch❤
That was fun .thank you for sharing,always feel I after I watch you both.Have a great week and happy knitting 🧶
Meant to say always feel inspired after I watch you both 😆😆

I love you two being twins. I have twins also in KC area,, men almost 40. Never been tested. They are different people but they get along well. I love that about you two as well. Enjoyed your cast this time!
That was great, thanks for sharing. When do we get to meet your mom and see what she is knitting?
We asked and she said she’ll think on it! 😅
I recently found your channel and I’m backtracking for more content I love your styles so much. I also love the sewing bits❤❤
I double knit the Embrace Octopus sweater for a friend, but if any of my works so far is a “funeral piece”, it’s that bad boy 🐙 ❤

Great video🥰 I’m currently working on the Twist Loop Sweater by other loops in kfo heavy merino held with the rowan cashmere haze 🧶
Girl I don't even have my tapestry needle from this morning!
Hi from Rachel! Same 🤣 I am baffled

Oh that is good to know! We asked our mom and she is confident there was only one, so the signs are pointing to us being identical in that case!

If there is one placenta, it is identical, but it doesn't work in reverse.
Loved "funeral pieces." Bit weird, but making so much sense.
I’m in love with your cat!!!!!!!!!
Me too 🥹 he’s a good boy (most of the time)
Great episode! What size did you knit your sweater no. 8 in? I couldn't find it on your Ravelry.
Hi, and thank you! I knit the first size in that pattern.
Atx 4 sj 3 😊
Omg Lol that's a BIG cat!
He’s a beast 🤣
You both need a row counter!
We really do 😅
Skc 3 tfc 1 ❤ go sporting x
My mom is an identical twin. My mom's twin and I both did our DNA and it said she's my mom. 😂
Oh my gosh that’s wild 😂
You are definitely identical twins. I' know a lot of paternal twins, and they never look alike. Even identical twins have differences in looks and personalities. You made me laugh about having a cat and yarn and are ready for retirement. It's great!
