I Love All Of You. Great And Beautiful Knits This Episode! 💜
I Can't Wait For That Cool Weather... And More Warm Knits!
Enjoy Your Sunshine Ladies 💙 Keep Growing 💚
❤️🍁🍂❤️🍂🍁❤️🍁🍂❤️🍂🍁❤️🍁🍂❤️🍂🍁❤️
Thanks so much Starfire! We love to hear from you each episode and love having you in our knitting community. 🤗🧶🍷
Ladies,
Greetings from sunny Laval, Québec!
As always, it's been lovely to spend some time knitting with you.
Congratulations again on you 3K milestone!
Bon voyage, Tammi,
See you soon, Janet & Claudia
Thank you so much! Happy knitting!
Really enjoyed this episode as usual. Fabulous projects finished and on the needles.
Enjoy your trips see you all soon best wishes Frances x
Thanks so much Frances! 🧶🍷
When I started knittting 60+ years ago there was no such thing as top down sweaters. And they fit just fine.
And no circular needles! Everything was knit flat or on dp's. Metal needles, oh my I remember using those. I think that I made one huge sweater coat with them and put it together. Loved that thing, wish I still had the pattern as the sweater didn't get packed when I got divorced. I would wear it to church and all the girls would come snuggle up around me and I'd wrap the sweater around us - being acrylic it was warm. Patterns were also hard to come by. Coats and Clark had those booklets, which is where I got the sweater pattern. Ya'll don't know the struggles we had back then lol! Love your podcast gals!
@@katpraeuner9794 That's Where I Taught Myself To Knit. Those Old Coats And Clarks Books. I Still Have Most Of Them, And I Had A Huge Collection Of Old Straight Needles. Now I Prefer Large Straight Needles For Heavy Projects.
I always hated to sew them seams. My mom taught me how to knit and she would sew everything for me.
@@ruthannbull6515 You had a nice mom. My mom made me finish my own projects and I learned to enjoy that process too. I also never finished my daughters, but she never asked me to either. lol She was grown up when she started knitting and is a better knitter than I am.
Thank you for a very insparyan podd. I realy likes that you are three speeking. 😊
Love your pocast so much! Always looking forward to a new episode! You give me so much inspiration, with your lovely knitting work. Thank you so much! 😍💖
Thank you so much!
Have a look at The Knittingmans no float method of knitting. No more float issues at all as colours blend together or having at times to work with ladder back. He demonstrates for English knitting but easily converted to 2 handed knitting. Knitting sits flat no puckering issues at all. No loose stitch at join. My knitting has elevated to another level. ❤
Thanks for the tips and we will check out the knitting man’s no float method of knitting. 🧶🍷
As I was watching the intro I found myself commenting out loud about projects you have finished and the apparent yarn acquisitions, as though you could hear. Watching the three of you is definitely like knitting with friends.
Julia, Thanks for being part of our knitting community and for your nice comments. 😀🧶🍷
I so enjoy your visits ladies! Beautiful projects today, and I thoroughly enjoyed hearing all your tips and yarn recommendations. Enjoy your vacations and well see you again soon!
Thanks for all of your nice comments! 🧶🍷
Have to say, I get so excited when I see a new episode! So many beautiful sweaters and the Field Sweater, I am obsessed with it, so can’t wait to see your progress and of course, your finished projects (no pressure!). Tammi, have a wonderful vacation and Claudia, enjoy your trip and Janet, look forward to seeing your projects, finished and WIPs!
Karen, Thanks for your sweet comments and thanks for being part of our knitting community. 🧶🍷
I found an interesting tip that said when purling, if your stitches are too long, purl the stitch by bringing the yarn under n to over. Works like a charm. Love the green and white pants.
Thanks for your tip and for watching! 😀🧶🍷
Hi ladies. It was a very nice vlog again. And how much you knit! Awesome. I wish you a safe journey wherever it may go. And gladly see you next time. 😀
Hello and thank you so much for your sweet comments and for watching! 🥰🧶🍷
Another outstanding and inspiring podcast. I have to pause several times to write down pattern names and yarn so I can order-sometimes while pausing your video!! Keep up the great work and fabulous knitting and you will soon reach 20k followers and beyond!! ❤
Audrey, Thanks for your sweet comments and glad you are inspired. 🧶🍷
Gorgeous knits! I always find a pattern to add to my queue! And a yarn for my wish list! Thanks ladies ❤
Glad you enjoy our knitting choices! Thanks for watching! 🧶🍷
Tammi,on ravelry you can look up a yarn by color number. Your drops wish is #11 tabasco and #20 shell\muschel
Beautiful work on all the garments. I always get inspiration from all the lovely sweaters!
Thank you!
Congratulations on another episode full of beautiful sweaters and lovely friends! (I’m thinking about hopping on the Solare train…heading over to Ravelry now to purchase the pattern) Tammi, hope you have a lovely time on your trip. Claudia and Janet, if editing is the thing that keeps you from podcasting, just do it without (we’ll watch and enjoy).
PS I sent you an email but thank you in advance! I’m SO excited and will be proudly using the lovely bag and progress keeper!!!
Congratulations Debbie! I bet we will all knit the Solare sweater. We’ll most likely podcast while Tammi is vacationing. Thanks for your sweet comments. 🧶🍷
I'm laying here recovering from hip replacement surgery and RSV, feeling most unwell but this video has really taken my mind off how rotten I feel! I think I've said it before but I just learn so much from listening to the decisions you make about your knitting. Such a joy to watch.
Hi Georgiana! We all wish you a speedy recovery ❤️🩹. Cheers! 🧶🍷
@@woolandwine 🥰
Its the wine quote at the end for me...... 😂😂😂😛😍
Tammy - I'm knitting Robinia Light - same issue with curling on the narrow rib - I steam blocked it before I picked up for the back - voila! It's now fine. I've now separated at the armhole - discovered quickly that my gauge was too tight when knitting in the round and moved up a needle size - another Voila! My husband doesn't really notice my WIPs but this caught his attention and he said WOW!
Thanks so much for the tip, Nancy! I’ll definitely steam block it before I go any further. Cheers! 🧶🍷
As always- I was excited to see another podcast was posted! Have a great rest of your summer and look forward to seeing what’s next!!! 🧶❤️
Thank you for watching and being part of our knitting community! 🧶🍷
Claudia-a purl stitch after a knit stitch uses more yarn since it has to come from back to front and all the way around the needle. Patty Lyons has a great explanation. The solution is to wrap the purl stitch clockwise and work it thru the back leg on the next row. I do that on all ribbing and anywhere else when a purl follows a knit. It tightens up the knit stitch.
Thanks, Deb. Where can I find the explanation by Patty Lyons? Is it on youtube? I've always struggled with the conversion from knit to purl. I am always willing to learn something new. Thank you so much.

Oh the joy of turning on You Tube and finding a new episode from one of my favourite podcasts 😊. Gorgeous sweaters as usual, so much inspiration, when will I get a chance to knit all the sweaters 😂
Anne we’re so glad you are enjoying the podcast and the more sweaters we knit, the more variety of pretty sweaters to create. So many things to knit and not enough time. 🧶🍷
It always amazes me how perfectly the wine is poured!🙃
Thanks, it takes practice by pouring many times. 😂🧶🍷
🤣😂@@woolandwine
Always pretty sweaters, ……..but the Solare was stunning, suddenly I knew what yarn I wanted to use for it. Bought the pattern on sale and have to look for new yarn for a Ranunculus. Thank you. Take care ladies🥂
Thanks for your nice comments. I think all three of us will be making the Salare since it is so beautiful. 🧶🍷
Lovely knits girls just stunning enjoy ur hols well deserved 🎉
Thank you so much! 😀🧶🍷
I have just been binging your “recordings” 😂 and have loved every episode. Cheers to many more.
Lisa, Glad you are liking our “recordings” 🤣 Thanks for watching!!! 🧶🍷
another fabulous episode ladies and as usual your knits are amazing. I'm just finishing a two colour brioche test knit cardigan and it is knit flat so loads of sewing together. It's turning out beautiful but give me a top down or bottom up in the round any day.
Liz, Glad you enjoyed our episode! Your 2 color brioche cardigan sounds awesome. Thanks for watching and sharing what you’re working on. 😀🧶🍷
just found your channel...love it!! going back to the first episode. I'm excited to have a whole array to watch. Thanks for your videos and inspiration!
Glad you are enjoying our channel. Thanks for being part of our knitting community! 🧶🍷
oooh you just inspired me to make the Roll Over The Top! Super cute! Love seeing your projects! Thanks for sharing!
Yay! Glad you are inspired to make a sweater that we have made. Thanks for watching! 😀🧶🍷
What a fun podcast! Your sweaters and all those works in progress.
Thanks for watching and your nice comments! 🧶🍷
« Finishing is everything « ….. truer words have never been spoken. Love your stuff!
Thanks so much Maryann! 🧶🍷
Ooh…gonna make the Modern Mocs by Bekah Knits. Thanks, Claudia, for the idea. Gonna make the Mini Modern Mocs for my grandson as well. 😊
Sounds great!
Just watched your podcast and wanted to mention the podcast A Friend to knit with, episode 31,from Leslie Friend. You might find interesting knitting ideas about the Robinia sweater. ❤️🇨🇱🦋
Thanks for your comments and we watch Leslie friend so we’ll get the helpful tips on the Robinho sweater. Thanks for watching! 🧶🍷
Even in some part of the world people still knit bottom up sweater they don’t do top down. I myself learned knitting bottom up.
Yes so true and bottom up sweaters are fun to knit. 😁🧶🍷
i'd like one of each of the sweaters each of you are wearing 😁
Laurie, Thanks so much. We appreciate you! 🧶🍷
Safe trip to the both of you traveling. I absolutely love those Mocs probably something o will cast these on too.
Very cool. I'm glad you like the Mocs! I guess I will have to start them sooner than later.😁
Love your prodcast so much, always happy to see a new episode 😊
Thank you so much 😊
Claudia I think you might start something with those slipper! I would never want to leave the house if I made them. They’re perfect! Do you felt them at all after they’re knit? And girls girls girls don’t worry about taking your trips we’ll all be here waiting for you to get back. Take the time you need! Summer is so short and enverydone deserve time away! I love everything you girls make but I can’t even come close to keeping up with you girls! Knitting smaller sizes doesn’t help either, plus I crochet afghans one after another and I’m a quilter. I have no time for other projects anymore. I read a meme one time that said ‘I don’t always have time to do the laundry. But when I do-I dont’😂😂😂that’s me! Love your show and all the beautiful things you show us!
Thank you so much! I've noticed quite a few people say they're going to have to make those slippers. I guess I will have to do mine sooner than later. I had no idea what I was starting! 😁
As usual, another fantastic episode!! You always inspire me to look at different patterns and yarns for my next project. I watch many, many knitting podcasts, and yours truly is my favorite. You always provide great details, and that is really appreciated. Looking forward to hearing about your fun trips! ❣️
Janet, Thanks for your nice comments! It is because of you and our knitting community that we want to share what we learn as we knit. Thanks for watching! 🧶🍷
Thank you Ladies and enjoy your vacaciones.
Thank you! Will do!
I am enjoying your podcasts so much! Beautiful patterns and wool/ colour choices are very inspirational!
Tammi,unfortunately I didn't understand the way you made the edge of the Roll over Top ( modification) - which I would be very happy to try
After the top was finished I picked up 3 out of 4 stitches. Between each slipped stitch is a small stitch. Be sure to include those as you count. I cast on two stitches then knit 1, knit 2 tog tbl. I followed the same method for neck and sleeve openings. Let me know if you need more information. ☺️
@@woolandwine,thank you very much!
Thank you ladies for podcasting. Always a pleasure to watch your fo’s and wip’s. Beautiful work!
Thanks so much for watching! We appreciate you. 🧶🍷
You ladies accomplish so many beautiful projects! Always happy to see another podcast from you!❤
Elaine, Thanks for your nice comments and glad you enjoy our podcast! 🧶🍷
More amazing knits. The three of you inspire me. Have fun and safe travels.
Thanks for your nice comments and being part of our knitting community! 🧶🍷
Girls, girls you can definitely podcast with no editing. Andrea Mowry does it every week, and Kim and Jonna do update/midmonth podcasts with no editing (knit together with Kim and Jonna). I don't know about everyone else but perfect is not something I worry about in a knitting podcast. We're all just like you and just want to see what you are up to even if it is raw and uncut! The only thing I worry about is if I can hear you and see you/your projects, so the rest is just fluff! Have a great month of vacation Tammy! and girls, just do it! We don't bite lol
Kat, You have a good point. I’m sure we’ll do a podcast without Tammi just because we love to share our progress and to stay in touch with our wonderful knitting friends. It may be raw and uncut but fun! Thanks for your sweet comments! 😀🧶🍷
Dangnabbit, didn't get a bit of knitting done during this episode. I was riveted to what you three were showing. Beautiful, beautiful projects! Safe travels, Tami! 😊
Thanks for watching and sorry you didn’t get knitting done but so glad you enjoyed watching us! 😀🧶🍷
As always, I enjoyed your podcast. Janet, I would love to hear your tips on making the wheat stitches on the Field Sweater. It's in my queue.
I can tell you that the wheat stitches are fun. I’m having a difficult time with knitting 3 or 5 stitches through the back loop. I’m using a smaller needle on the left side and that helps. I’m holding drops alpaca with mohair and that is probably why it is difficult. It is very fuzzy. If I used just one yarn it would be easier I think but I really like the color work.
@woolandwine Thank you for the quick reply. I will keep that tip in mind when I make mine. I also am using mohair with the MC, which I have never done before.
Hi ! Such joy & inspiration to watch your podcast every time. Thanks for sharing all the goodies with us.🦋🌺🦋 I'm knitting on a Lund sweater designed by Niina.Laitinen for Novita magazine.
We appreciate your nice comments. Thanks for watching! 🧶🍷
Tammi, your Solare by Joji Locatelli is looking amazing. Also, your Rolling Over The Top is gorgeous. Love all the knits. Safe travels. I hope Tammi can drop us a hello from wherever in the world she is traveling. 😊
Hi Shannon! Thanks so much ☺️ I will try to get some footage of the yarn shops to include.
Just beautiful ladies! Congratulations on your podiversary!
Thanks so much! 🧶🍷
Watching! Thank you!
Thank you too!
@@woolandwinereceived! They are even prettier in person.
As a beginner knitter, only knowing the knit and purl stitch, I am anxious to knit a sweater. You look like you do a LOT of sweaters and was wondering what I should start with and the yarn you use. Thanking you in advance!!
I would recommend starting with a top-down pullover. Are you able to M1R and M1L? No matter what kind of sweater you make, you will need to know that skill. The DRK Everyday Sweater might be a good beginner's project. The gauge for the sweater is 21 stitches over four inches. Hopefully you know how to do a gauge swatch. Her suggested yarn is a sport weight, but you could also use DK. I enjoy working with wool but but the choice is yours. You can look at knitpicks yarn and pick something from there. Their yarn is good quality and not too expensive. I'm excited for you. Let us know how you do.
@@woolandwine thank you for your quick reply. I just looked up those stitches and I think I can do those. I will research the pattern and yarn you suggested. I will keep you posted. Ty again!!
Thanks again, Ladies! Your projects are si inspiring!
Mary, I’m glad our projects have inspired you. Thanks for watching! 🧶🍷
Another fabulous episode with so much inspiration. Who needs Ravelry? I am wondering how much time you devote to knitting each day? This summer I am knitting most days, but not finishing anything. Maybe I have too many WIP’s…is that possible?
Hi Pam! Is there really such a thing as too many WIPs?! 🤣🤣
@@woolandwine I actually have 1 friend who is a monogamous knitter. For me it isn’t a consideration. Plus I love my project bags.
Congratulations Tina.F 🎉
Thought of you three as I drove I-70 to Virginia. I waved as I drove by!
Thanks for the wave Deb! 😀🧶🍷
Love the new logo.
Thank you! 🧶🍷
I don’t know if it will work in this instance but when I was working on an Isabel Kraemer sweater my purl seam didn’t look right and someone suggested to pull the 2nd stitch after the purl stitch TIGHTLY. It made all the difference in making it look right and both seams looking more identical.
Susie, that’s an interesting suggestion and one we should try! Thanks for watching! 🧶🍷
You are all so organized about your Rhinebeck outfits! I’m planning to be there, but no idea what I will wear. I’m worried it will be too hot to wear knits comfortably. 😊
We’re looking so forward to meeting you at Rhinebeck and hopefully the weather will be sweater worthy. 😀🧶🍷
@@woolandwine Here's Hoping! Sweater Weather 🍂🍁
Tammi, your Solare is beautiful! I am knitting it too but doing the increase row on row 5 of the eight row repeat?
Hi Ann! I think the increase at row 5 is just the first one. It has been a while since I worked on the yoke. If I remember correctly though, the rest are on the cable row.
@@woolandwine ahh okay thank you!
🧶🍷 💜 Hello beautiful ladies! Keep up the good work!!
Hello! Thanks so much for watching! 🧶🍷
Love your podcast. I try to share on Instagram a photo of me watching and what I’m knitting on. You don’t allow people to share to your Instagram account
Wendy, That’s a great idea with sharing to our instagram account. We’re kind of newbies with instagram so we will figure that out so you can share. 😀🧶🍷
Hey friends, so cool to find a new podcast. I used to work and teach at a yarn store and I think I know the issues with the slipping of the stitches on the tank top. On the knit side, when you slip your stitch, are you inserting your needle as if you will knit the stitch and then slipping it instead? This will twist your stitch and make it tighter. On the purl side, the twisting doesn't happen. Don't know for sure but maybe something to consider
Also, I wanted to add when you purl you use more yarn going over rather than under. When knitting you use less yarn, so maybe try purling under to snatch up some of the extra yarn? I saw a podcast a few weeks ago talking about it. So another thing to try. And I agree it could also be the direction of the slip off your stitches, which is why some patterns say slip stitch purlwise...
Thank you so much for finding us. We're happy to have you, and thanks for your input on the tank!
