You two are the BEST antidote to cold, grey end of February in the North weather. The opposite of blah 🎉. Your excitement is contagious, I was laughing out loud at every squeal of joy. Lovely making plans, will be fun to see how much you do! I am always a bit sombered by how little I can make - despite realising on the other hand that it is quite a lot. Weird. Your classic Sarah and Paige colors at the end were the best! Lovely all around!
Haha thanks so much lovely 🥰 looking forward to a good year of knitting.
@MadebyMel has just added to her Japanese series about using Japanese patterns. Also Fruity Knitting has an episode about reading Japanese patterns. Good luck, it's a beautiful design ❤️
Omg thanks so so much 🥰
I meant Mel Makes Stuff. Too many knitting Mels!!
I love this. The pure unadulterated love for knitting, yarn and creating :)
Thanks lovely 🥰 so lucky to have knitting friends to share the love with
Thank you too I am a new netter adventurous beginner. I’ve crocheted since I was nine and I’ve been knitting for a year. I’ve made a tank top and two pairs of socks. I’m on the second pair almost done and you guys are a lot of fun and a lot of inspiration. keep up the good work, I’m learning a lot about Yarn with you too so that’s really good
When I broke my arm 7 weeks ago, I thought my world had ended and then I found your podcast and as soon as my arm healed enough I was back knitting, very slowly and some what painful but I managed. I am now 1/2 way through a petite knits zipper jumper using BWM woodlands in the colour heartwood and it is knitting up amazingly and I have already purchased the to wool to make my husband one the woodlands yarn colour Fog. Your energy about knitting is so contagious and I love watching your videos. ❤❤❤
I was so the same. I had surgery on my hand and felt so lost without knitting.
Thanks lovely. Glad there’s more people out there enjoying BWM. So excited to get started on working my woodlands knits up.
I love how hyped you guys get for each other’s knitting! So positive and wholesome💖
Haha thanks lovely 🥰 so lucky to have such a good knitting friend
All of these patterns are to die for! Definitely some added to my queue... For the japanese pattern, Athena Liu here on youtube has a playlist on how to read japanese knitting patterns / charts that has been really helpful for me and it's a lot more intuitive than you'd think! Definitely excited to see how all of these turn out!!!
Amazing thanks so so much 🥰
this was so fun, watching you guys get so excited about each others' projects gives me life!! also the ribbon vest !!!!! stunning !!!!
Thanks lovely 🥰
Your reactions to each other’s project plans is everything!! 😂 the excitement is so infectious
Thanks lovely 🥰 has been so fun to share with each other and everyone on here.
I wasn't expecting a video from you today and was so happy! I'm excited to see all of those projects come to life!
I KNEW you (Sarah) were going to make the Step by Step sweater with that Poppy Yarn and tbh kinda want to do the same thing...
Also how brave is Paige, making things from patterns that aren't in English! I've made a few projects from French patterns at the beginning of my knitting journey and it was a struggle, and French is my first language lol... but I'm sure you'll succeed 🙌
Haha thanks chicka 🥰 I can’t fight the urge to swatch the Poppy anymore. It’s happening this weekend. KAL/knitting buddies welcome…
Just finished a sweater in Sailor in the Dark the day I watched this episode, and I panicked it was too dark as well, but it turned out beautifully - you won't regret it! Love your podcast:)
Thanks for the reassurance. I’m just really excited for deep midwinter to get working on it and lean into the colours 😁
Sandnes Garn released a free pattern (in English) called Bernie’s mittens based on the ones he wore!
OMG this is perfect! Thanks so so much 🥰
Love watching your podcast! My friends have made the dartmoor as a vest. No finishing on the sleeves, just bind off! It looks great. So Paige maybe make the dartmoor as a vest and the cove as a full sweater.
Yesss surely this will fill her love of vests too 🥰
Not me gasping right along with you all ❤ love all the projects and cannot wait to see the progress on them all!!!
Haha thanks lovely 🥰 it was very gasp-worthy…
This was JOYOUS to watch! I’m in the eye of the storm with my masters at the moment and this really calmed me down/cheered me up after an anxiety-filled week ❤
I’m so pleased to help you through such a bleak time. Good luck!
Lovely to see your shared enthusiasm about each other planned projects and yarns 😊 as for the baby cardigan, I do think your friend's baby won't care if it's labeled as "for girls" even if it's a boy. Our society decides what is "for a boy" or "for a girl" but in the end people should where what they like, and since a baby probably doesn't know what it likes yet, just knit the pretty little cardigan *you* like and it'll look nice no matter if it's a he or a she. 🙂
Hi lovely, thanks so much for such kind words 🥰 You’re so right, I think we all get in our heads about gendered things.
I just found your podcast while going through a very isolating and alone time in my life. Watching your friendship and how genuinely uplifting and caring your personalities are has brought such a light in an otherwise dark time for me. I am a complete stranger halfway across the globe and truly appreciate you two. I look forward to watching more episodes! (Also, sorry for the Debbie downer-vibe of my comment😅)
OMG not at all, thanks for speaking about hard things which can be hard to do sometimes. Glad we could be some company for you. I hope you're going ok ❤️
I’m so glad TH-cam suggested your episodes to me! I’m loving watching your older episodes and love your enthusiasm for each other 🖤 Sarah I’m disappointed that you didn’t highlight the shoulder detail on the stick season jumper to Paige 😂! Thank you for such a joyful podcast (and for being podcasters that knit at a more normal pace 🤭!!) Becca xx
Hello! Thanks so much lovely 🥰 Ugh I know that stick season is perfect and in due course hopefully will be able to show off that shoulder... If you can count on us for anything it will be producing knits at a normal human pace.
I also love the show Alone. Had no clue there was an Australian version! I have to find a way to watch it now lol
Omg every so often I just binge a whole season. It’s so good. The Australian version is kinda different in the challenges that they face, but such a beautiful landscape (but I’m biased). If I’m not careful I feel like my style could become very “alone-core”.
@@twopurlsinapod I AM INTO THIS 🤣
I so enjoyed this episode! I loved both of y'all's color palettes! So beautiful! I vibe with Sarah's so much as a fellow ginger ❤ and I can't wait to see Paige's ribbon vest. I am fully invested in that journey! This was my first episode and I've already subscribed. So in love!
Thanks so much 🥰 Yeh look there are colours that I just need to stay away from and others to lean into. I'm just glad I've worked out what they are now and can hoard yarn with confidence that it's gonna suit me. We were looking at the ribbon vest pattern the other day and I have a feeling this is gonna be a real saga...
I just cast off the Lumme sweater and it’s such a blast to knit! Used knitting for olive heavy merino in a gold color for the colorwork with a navy main color. Can’t wait to see yours!
OMG that would be such a glorious colour combo! Congrats on finishing that :)
Never too late for new knits plans!😉 I am here for the first time because @thosetwinswhoknit mentioned you. I love watching , make 9s, thanks!
Thanks so much 🥰 I love watching them and they're knits are so perfect.
So fun seeing your plans and yarn to match- love the variety. It has given me ideas! Always such a joy watching you both 🙂
Thanks so much 🥰 I love that we can be into such different things but still be so inspired by each other (and that it provides plenty of options for any interested parties out there)
Thank you both for another lively episode. For some reason my comments from this episode and previous one are not appearing. I hope I haven't been banned. :) I just wanted to let you know that Mel makes stuff podcast has some great content on Japanese patterns. I hope this comment makes it.
Hmmm that's weird. Thanks for continuing to comment tho, and thanks for the tip :)
A lot of what you both have on your list is also on mine. Also adding that pink noro mohair combo to my wishlist bc it is stunning.
right?! 🌝
Looking forward to everything you guys will make and do this year🎉
Thanks! We’ve talked a big game so now gotta get to it 😬
I love Alone!!! Have watched almost all of them
Yesss, more Alone people!!! I feel like people fall into two camps, those that know and are very into Alone, and the uninitiated. The second Australasian season is coming out soon and I'm keeeen.
@@twopurlsinapod Yas! I need to actually finish the AU version... I've binged all the other versions of it! They are SO fascinating to watch! You're totally right though, it's a case of either knowing "Alone" or not....
I just finished a sweater with the Bendigo Woolen Mills Woodland 8 Ply in River Sand and I am IN LOVE with it! The massive skein is so satisfying too, just watching it get smaller and smaller.
Haha it seems absurd and comical how big the balls are. Thinking it’s time for an autumny BWM cast on…
Just found you both through this video and love your dynamic together! So bubbly and very engaging. This hour absolutely fly by and normally I avoid longer podcast episodes.
Thanks so much 🥰 I think we knew this one was gonna get out of hand time-wise so glad it's not too much of a deterrent.
I love your podcasts. You’re my favourite Aussie neighbours. I love that you also introduce me to new yarns like Bendigo woollen mills yarn that if I buy them won’t kill me with the postage and also make me feel better about my hauls of yarn from Norway. And squee I’m going to Norway in October so I may end up explaining to Customs that I’m not planning on selling any of the mountain of yarn I plan to buy.
OMG go with a purse and an empty shipping container to bring back all that glorious yarn, so jealous! I've just cast on my Clay sweater and 6 rows in I'm already so into this Bendigo Woolen Mills yarn. Thanks lovely 🥰
NEVER too late for a knitting plans! Can't wait to see these all come to life!!!
Same goes girl, you got anything in the works for our viewing pleasure?
@twopurlsinapod BWAHAHAHA ya girl has been struggling to edit everything I knit in 2023 for two months 😭😭😭 but she will finish it one day
@@tarknits3717 😂😂😂 I believe in you!
@@twopurlsinapod I need all the good energy 😭
Thanks for the lovely episode! I've been contemplating buying the chestnut cardigan but so scared to commit to it... Please share your progress on it!!
Thanks lovely 🥰 I've still not got much to show for it but thanks for the nudge. Might do another few rows and bring it along. It's so exciting to see the pattern and the colours growing as I chip away at it.
instead of the cove or dartmore sweater Rebecca Clow (the creabea) has the rhue sweater which has a beautiful shoulder detail
Oooo contiguous shoulder! I hadn’t thought of that, thanks ☺️
Just discovered you two and love your energy
Thanks ☺️
So true…. We need to be picky about what we choose to spend our time on… ie the making ❤ and I am here for the shoulder moment too! 🎉
Ugh it’s such a sad truth. The other option is just giving up full time work which really eats into my knitting time but feel like that would create more problems than it solves…
The perfect Venn diagram 😂…a great way to assess the value of a project🎉🎉🎉🎉
Haha the dream when my craft intersects with niche interests (and my inner nerd is inevitably revealed)...
You two are seriously the cutest!! Love seeing what you have planned - all the squishy yarn - all the excitement & squeals of delight! Just nothing but love for you both! ❤❤❤ I’m working on a color work vest & I’m sure you two will keep me motivated to keep plugging along as well… PS The hand made tote bag - best gift ever!! 👏😍❤️
Mmm colourwork vest I think is actually genius cos it’s all the fun and beauty of colour work but without sleeve island. Thanks so much 🥰
That was lovely to watch. Loved spending this time with you!
Thanks so much 🥰
As always, love the podcast. Next time, we hope you give us an update on your exam results. We are hoping great results for you and I think all of viewers are invested in both of your successes in work and life. Just one ask, can you leave the reference pic up a tiny bit longer so we can see the project you may be referencing. Sometimes its shown too fast. Or it could just be that I blink really long. 😁 Looking forward to your next podcast.
Yep sorry 🤦♀️ it defaults to such a short time but my dad gave the same advice recently too (cos he's a supportive pod-dad). Thanks lovely 🥰
I have a free pattern on Ravelry for the Bernie mittens called "The Bernies" based on a really simple mitten design.
Oooo perfect! I really need to get to making them now that it's mid-winter...
The Dartmoor v Cove sweater is real! I have both of them on my to-make list for this year Dartmoor in green and Cove in bright blue and I think I might make both since I can't decide. Looking forward to making these along with you!!
Haha great minds 😉 it’s all about that shoulder game 🥰
I smiled and laughed the whole way through. You're a breath of fresh air.
Thanks gals 😊❤❤
PS I bought myself a $1 graph book from Officeworks to fudge my own colourwork patterns onto my fave basics .... beyond joyful 😂
Oooo that's so clever. I always just tried to graph colourwork on excell but it wasn't a very effective means. Keep it simple is a good mantra here it would seem... Thanks so much lovely 🥰
So much good inspiration. I like the idea of trying to set realistic goals.
Haha thanks so much. Time will tell if they're realistic goals or not... 😬
@@twopurlsinapod Yes, we will see at the end of the year ...
Love, love, love this episode! I adore your Venn Diagram with the mittens! 🤣❤️ I had a mitten Venn Diagram intersection of History Nerd, Women Spies in wartime & Knitting. I made a pair of mittens for my daughter (huge history aficionado) incorporating the Morse Code knitting technique that women spies used to get information back to headquarters via knitted garments. I knitted a different secret message on each mitten, hilariously rude & blunt, so that she can unobtrusively tell rude folks on the train ‘where to go’ with the simple flourish of her mittened hand! 🤣
Your reactions to each other’s pattern picks was gorgeous!
Happy knitting from a fellow Melbournian😃
OMG this is the greatest tidbit of history I've ever heard. Excuse me while I dissapear down that rabbit hole! Thanks so much 🥰
@@twopurlsinapod It’s fascinating stuff!!! They were incredibly courageous women!! 🥰
Great to see your knitting plans. I'm also making a Lanark Sweater! I'm not sure how to fix my mistakes in Half fisherman's rib so this has been a challenging knit for me. I've joined in the round now though and it's looking really good :))
Ugh that makes me so nervous. I've never done any of those sort of brioche or rib stitches so gonna have to watch a lot of tutorials. Good luck!
Oooo please make the matching shirt with the mittens by Caitlin Hunter (Feel the Bern)!
Haha I’m definitely counting the mittens as a wearable swatch for the Caitlin Hunter top 😁
Love this podcast. You guys are so fun!
Thank you!
Yep, the PERFECT overlap of politics and knitting. What a moment that was -- and I would absolutely recognize them if I saw them IRL. Love you for knitting them. US primary elections are rolling out right now and -- yikes --
Haha I love them cos they’re so iconic 😁 ready with my popcorn to watch the circus unfold…
So much fun!
Thanks lovely 🥰
Loved this video! Let me know if you need help translating anything Norwegian 🙂
You're a dream! Thanks so much
Have you seen Skeindeers mitten patterns? She’s norweigan but the patterns are written in english!
Yes! I think I’m gonna use hers as a base and play with patterns. Thanks lovely 🥰
love these podcasts but struggle to understand the accents sometimes. 🤣Me being a pommi from lancashire x
Omg that’s something I never thought would be an issue 😂🤦♀️ sorry, if there’s ever anything I can clarify please let me know (but it’s probably just us gushing over yarn or something)
😂😂😂
Two words for Paige.. "Audrey Jacket". You need to see Jljacobs Audrey Jacket!! Made for you!!
Omg everything her and Rachel make is so completely stunning. Love it.
Okay, Paige here -- I actually GASPED when I saw Jessica's Audrey Jacket in that bouclé 🫠 it would literally be in my make 9 if I saw it earlier, and if all the other spots in my grid weren't already taken! (V impressed you know my taste so well, haha!)
I knew it!! I watched your podcast for the first time the other day. And that jacket had your name all over it!!😂 BTW I love you and Sarah. I'll be watching from now on. In Her Skein recommended you two. It was a great recommendation. ❤
Best Podcast Ever … loved it ❤️ Your delight and enthusiasm is so infectious. I’m so looking forward to seeing the Ribbon Vest as a FO. It might help to check out Athena Liu of Seedling Stitch Podcast Fame. She has a playlist of 4 videos on her channel “Japanese Knitting Mini Lessons”. The Ito-yarn website also has a pdf file available for download “Understanding Japanese Knitting Pattern Basics”. This will help heaps!!!
Thanks so much for the tips and the kind words 🥰
DeepL is a great free translator, maybe you could translate the patterns into english with it
Oooo thanks for the tip 😁
Oooo thanks for the tip 😁
@@twopurlsinapod I wrote a comment when I watched this video a week ago, that youtube apparently ate, recommending deepl as well (and the ITO website that's mentioned in another comment). I made a scarf last year which I only had a Norwegian pattern for and that worked really quite well. Deepl has a much better understanding of knitting lingo compared to google translate I found, at least for Norwegian. Maybe it'll work with Japanese as well, they do offer translations to and from Japanese. 😊
Anyways kudos to you, Paige, for trying a Japanese pattern. I learned Japanese (for maybe 2 years) about 10 years ago but I know next to nothing and I definitely never knew enough to tackle a knitting pattern, never even got to learning kanjis... 😂
✨YEAH✨
Haha thanks 🤩
Hey! I have digital copy of Ecloque book with Ribbon vest pattern) I can send you screenshots of the instruction pages to the email mentioned on credentials, ok?
That would be amazing, thanks so much!!. Can send you receipt scan straight back 😁
No need:) sent out the screenshots🫶
Bernie Sanders was at Joe Biden’s inauguration …. Bernie Sanders always looks grumpy.
Ugh now that you say it it makes sense. Why would he have been at Trump’s inauguration 🤦♀️
