I sew and knit, and the main difference to me between both: knitting, you actually knit 90% of the time (the remaining 10% is blocking and weaving ends 😅), whereas sewing is 10% of actual sewing behind the machine, the remaining 90% is prewashing the fabric/ironing before cutting/cutting/pinning/ironing another thousand times. "Sewing" is a scam 😂😂 But still love it.
Keep the sewing coming- the good, the bad and the ugly. I do both as well. My biggest frustration with sewing is the machine. When it works, it’s great, but when it doesn’t, I get extremely frustrated.
For the puckering solution for your dress, sometimes it's the nature of the fabric. You can pair it with a heavier fusing if you want or maybe using the self fabric for inside can help as it is more rigid. If you want to correct it you will need to open the top of your dress...The more you sew the more you learn! For next time you can also make a swatch with fusing and see how it will react. You can starch it but each time you will wash it the starch will come off. Love your channel btw! :)
Thank you for this advice! It's definitely one of those crafts where you learn as you go and this is something I'll have to be mindful of for next time! I love the idea of a swatch! It's something I consider so important for knitting, but I forget I should do it when sewing too!
I love all of the sweaters that both of you have knit and I think I'll knit the haraboji cardigan too. It's such a beautiful piece. Thank you for sharing 😊💕
Yes to a knit and chat! Some questions: Podcast: who came up with the idea of doing a podcast? Knitting: What’s your favourite item to knit? What yarn do you wish you could always knit with? What have you made that you were super excited about and yet don’t use it wear that much? Personal: what is your craziest twin story? How did you meet your husbands? Have you always lived close to each other? I love that you included your sewing. I learned to knit and sew as a kid but always reach for my knitting first as it takes so much less set up than sewing does! Oh and I was knitting on an instant crush to use up some mohair I had in stash- wish I’d read the comments from your last episode! Lol
Every time I watch your latest video I’m so inspired by your FO’s that I add them to my Ravelry list 🤪 The colours you both choose are so beautiful 😍 . Keep being amazing 🤩
I’m from KC too and currently live in Olathe. My aunt was close friends with the women who died. They went to high school together. The whole situation is so incredibly heartbreaking. I can’t imagine what their family must be going through. My heart aches for them. We almost went to the parade and took our children but last minute decided to stay home. It’s crazy to think that it could have been us just as easily. 💔 I’m glad to see that you two are safe. Sending love to you both!
We are so sorry for your family’s loss. It’s heartbreaking that we live in a world where celebrations can become so dangerous. We’re glad you and your children were safe!
A topic for your knit and chat: patterns you've enjoyed knitting that are less well known; your favourite yarn to pattern matches. I'm always looking for that kind of info from other knitters. There's so much choice out there its nice to have recommendations. Lovely episode, thank you
Both of the sweaters you're wearing are gorgeous! 😍 I love when I open TH-cam and your guys' new videos are the first thing to pop up. 😁 Yes yes yes to knit and chat! That would be fun! Question ideas: - Top three all time favorite knits you've each done. - Favorite yarn for cables/texture - Best ways/patterns for using scrap yarn
Also, I love the sewing projects! I personally don't know a ton of sewers like I do knitters, so I LOVED that you shared sewing stuff. Genuinely so helpful. I told Jessica on instagram I'd make the clara dress now because of hers, and now Rachel makes me want to make the bubble frock too! Oh nooooo. 🤣 I'm buried in projects to start/finish!
Thank you for the questions!! 🤗 haha the list of things to make always gets longer, but never shorter! Hope you end up loving the Clara dress as much as Jess did!
I knit and sew too. The sleeveless dress with the sweater was perfect~ all you need is a gauzy scarf❤. I really enjoy knit and chats. I would love to hear more about your day to day, your favorite things to do, books etc, your cats. Great podcast! One of my favorites.
I loved that you included the sewing FOs! I know you said you’ll only include the ones you like bjt I would love to hear about the ones you’re not too happy with (and why). I recently started sewing and would love the inspiration as your aesthetic is so beautiful x
Thank you so much! That’s good you’d be interested in anything we end up not loving. We just kind of assumed people wouldn’t want to see those! We appreciate the feedback! ☺️
You guys! Every podcast I end up adding so many of your FO's and WIPs to my queue. Such beautiful choices and the yarn choice is always spot on! Thanks for another great video.
Lovely that you include sewing as well. I hope to sew my first garment this year (wish me luck 😂). Get som muck inspiration from your podcast 🙏. Knit and Chat will be fun! So my questions are: What are your most worn knitted garment? What knitted garment are you most proud of? And it is always nice to know a bit more of the podcasters background - so I am curious what you do for a living? Take care Malca from Sweden
Hi ladies! Your sewing and knitting are so lovely! I would love to see more of your sewing as I’ve recently started garment sewing as well. Would also love for you guys to do a knit and chat!
Love, love all the knitting AND sewing. You two are such talented women! I personally would love to see your sewing projects as well. My question for the knit and chat (if you do it) is: Do you each devote knitting time per day or on a time-needed basis? You both knit so fast and just wondering how much time a day you spend knitting.
Hi, very inspiring..thank you 😍 Currently I am working on the Spot Sweater by Anne Ventzel..The beginning was not easy for me, but now..knitting blind while watching your podcast 👍
I saw this sweater knit up at the LYS & it wasn’t blocked as aggressively. I think yours looks much better. Otherwise it is somewhat "bumpy" where the cables meet the lace sections.
Yes!! I don’t think I talked about it much this time but I mentioned in the last podcast that I had to block it 3 times before I was happy with it. The sides looked wavy the first time I blocked it and it took some work to get that fixed 😅
Another fun podcast. You girls are amazing ! Such elegance you both possess and it's lovely to see : ) Very nice sewing projects as well. It's inspiring to see that too
I love seeing sewing projects! I just finished an estuary skirt. I made a size too big on accident and so mine ended up extra gathered. 😅 Are you guys coming to coast to coast’s grand opening next month?
We would love to!! Unfortunately it doesn’t look like it’s going to work out with our schedules, so we probably won’t be able to and will have to live vicariously through the Instagram posts of those who can attend! 😅
Hi Sweetys ❤I think you’re awesome! Love the content. Love the things you make. Sit and knit is a fabulous idea I think. I can’t sow but got so inspired by you that I really wanna learn next! My question: You’re knitting so much, so fast (says a Mama of 3 with so little time to knit 😅). Do you really wear so many garments or what do you do wit things that are not being worn so much? Greetings from Germany 🙋🏼♀️
I am making the Haraboji Cardigan too and my crosses worked out the same...in that one side looks neater than the other side. Hoping it blocks out as well, but what a fun and inventive pattern it was to knit! Will definitely look to make more of their patterns.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who experienced cable tension issues with this pattern! Thankfully it’ll be hard to see the front and the back cables at the same time 😅
i love you two! I go and put all the things you knit in my Ravelry favorites! There in no way I can ever knit everything I want to make but you two inspire me to try! I love the addition of the thing you sew as well!
I am a knitter and a sewer and love to watch you two interact. I also keep wondering where you got that lovely wicker lampshade! I have an antique desk lamp that needs a shade that is low and wide in diameter and can’t find one!
Such an inspiring episode, I love watching your podcast!🥰 And yes to the Knit and Chat! I'd love to know if you still have patterns that intimidate you even with the amount of experience you have and if you have any dream projects🤗
I also live in the Kansas City area and 2 of my kids were at the parade. They weren't harmed, but we are all just devastated for the families that weren't as lucky.
Great podcast as usual! I am always inspired by your makes, and would like to know more about your work ethic. I tend to get distracted and cast on when I should finish, and I'd like to hear you talk about what helps you finish and if you set up self-imposed deadlines, schedule in your knitting, etc. Thanks!
I too get distracted, and yearn to start another project. I'd like the answer how to solve the problem. Its like I have to move on and learn something else.
Absolutely love your videos and would be happy to watch other any non-traditional podcast videos you decide to make! If you do a knit and chat, I’d be really interested to learn more about you both if you’re willing to share online
this is Jan from Nodaway, Iowa, just north of you both. love the size of your sari n sweater, very flattering-i'm not a fan of the hugely over sized look. thank you for mentioning the tragedy at the parade. my husband and i are are chiefs fans, really enjoyed the game. we were actually in Lawrence the day of the parade for our anniversary, spoke with many friendly and excited people headed to the parade. we enjoyed brunching and shopping and museums...i LOVED the yarn barn and came home with a bag full. Also took a peek in Sarah's fabrics and am planning a day to shop there, i will need several hours to see it all. the news in the afternoon was sobering and sad.
Lawrence is such a fun town! We absolutely love the Yarn Barn and Sarah’s Fabrics, although it’s been a while since we’ve been able to visit. Your trip sounds like such a good way to spend an anniversary weekend! The news of the parade was heartbreaking. It’s sad we live in a world where people can’t be safe celebrating something that meant so much for the city. Glad you and your husband were safe!
Beautiful knits as always. Also loved the sewing content. I go through sewing phases where I do a lot and then nothing for months. But I am always knitting. By the way, I think that, despite the name, the Touch Me Mohair is mostly alpaca, which explains why it looks so fuzzy?
We are very much the same! I think sewing has been inspiring to us recently but it’s not going to happen every time. Knitting is always #1 🤗 Ohh that might be it!! It is so fuzzy for a mohair so now I’m going to look that up!!
ahh the haraboji cardigan is incredible, i can’t wait to see your FO. i’d love to make it when i have more experience with knitting. if you have any recommendations for patterns to learn cable knitting for the first time, i’d be super grateful.
It might be helpful to start with a pattern that repeats only one type of cable just to get used to it, so something like sweater no. 15 could be a good starter! Cables are one of those magical techniques that look impressive, but usually aren’t too difficult, so we hope you enjoy them! 🤍
Both your socks are so perfect. What size of needles do you use when making socks ( with sock yarn - not dk?) thank you. Another lovely episode and I love that you also see. 💖😘
I WATCH YOUR PODCAST ALL THE TIME. LOVE TO SEE THAT YOU KNIT WHILE YOU ARE DOING THE PODCAST I LIKE THAT IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE I HAVE SOMEONE KNITTING WITH ME WHILE I WATCH YOUR SHOW,, I WISH MORE PODCAST WOULD DO THAT. I HATE JUST THE TALKING. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU GUYS HAVE A LIVE KNIT AND CHAT. I WOULD BE THERE THANK YOU.
The baby sweater is absolutely adorable and the sideways cardigan is incredible. As to the wrinkles on the bust of the dress, it looks like the bodice is in 2 pieces (upper and lower). If I’m seeing that correctly, you eased too much of the upper bodice into the bottom bodice at the center front in the bust curvature area. If it’s meant to be eased, it should be spread out more rather than concentrated at center front. If it isn’t meant to be eased, you’ve just misaligned your edges (or notches). To be honest though, I didn’t notice it until you mentioned it -- and I sew a lot.
This is super helpful! You’re correct, the bust is made of two pieces. I would love to make another one this summer since I think it’ll be a super versatile piece, so I’ll have to pay more attention to the ease and my edges. I bet that’s my issue! Thank you!

Oh my gosh this is the most accurate comparison out there 🤣
YES 😂 and this is why sewing is exhausting while knitting is relaxing 😅
You forgot seam-ripping (or maybe that’s just me 😅)
@@alecsgirl ahah yeah I think I prefer to not mention it and forget about it 😂
Keep the sewing coming- the good, the bad and the ugly. I do both as well. My biggest frustration with sewing is the machine. When it works, it’s great, but when it doesn’t, I get extremely frustrated.
I love the speed I can sew a dress, but I love the fact my knitting can go out with me.
This is such a good point
I’m a sewist/knitter so love to hear about both kinds of projects!
Thank you so much for letting us know!! 💛💛

The Haraboji Cardigan is next on my list but I’ve been scared of the construction. So happy you shared yours and can’t wait to see the end result!
Loved all the knitting and sewing 🎉Thank you 😊
I loved the Q&A and all your sewing. Your knitting is amazing. I think you two have a wonderful podcast.
I think the oversized “cozy” trend is ending, so I think your sweater is perfect Rachel!!

You are tempting me to try making socks. Now do you block yours on one of those sock forms? They look very uniform in size and beautiful.
We block our socks flat, but we don’t use sock blockers. We may have to try soon, though, cause a lot of people have good luck with them!
Both your socks are so perfect. What size of needles do you use when making socks ( with sock yarn - not dk?) thank you. Another lovely episode and I love that you also see. 💖😘
Most of the time we use a US 2! We are very tight knitters though 🙈

Love the addition of sewing content! I long to start sewing clothes. Maybe you will help me launch!
We feel like beginners compared to our sewing so we might be able to give some beginner friendly recommendations 🤗
The baby sweater is absolutely adorable and the sideways cardigan is incredible. As to the wrinkles on the bust of the dress, it looks like the bodice is in 2 pieces (upper and lower). If I’m seeing that correctly, you eased too much of the upper bodice into the bottom bodice at the center front in the bust curvature area. If it’s meant to be eased, it should be spread out more rather than concentrated at center front. If it isn’t meant to be eased, you’ve just misaligned your edges (or notches). To be honest though, I didn’t notice it until you mentioned it -- and I sew a lot.
This is super helpful! You’re correct, the bust is made of two pieces. I would love to make another one this summer since I think it’ll be a super versatile piece, so I’ll have to pay more attention to the ease and my edges. I bet that’s my issue! Thank you!
I guess you guys are rooting for sporting kc this season 😊
Austin fc for the cup for sure x
Sporting KC knitted scarf ?? 😊
Ahh that would be so cute!! We keep up more with football than soccer but of course we will be cheering for sporting! 🎉💙
Please stand up & show the fit of the sweaters. It would help SO much in deciding if it is a pattern I’d like to try…
May I ask what size needles do you gals use to knit the fingering weight socks? Thank you.
Of course! Most of the time we use a US 2 but we are very tight knitters 🙈
Projectos lindos
I love the ribbing at 7cm and agree that 14cm would be too long
Everything is lovely but that black dress is gorgeous. Embroidery on the bodice or beaded on the top edge. I do t sew.
Ohh that would be so beautiful on it!! My embroidery skills are probably a bit rusty but that would be such a lovely touch to some sewing projects ☺️
Your knitting is gorgeous!!! Horrified regarding the parade....
Very much so. Keeping KC in our hearts here ❤️
