I’m so glad you’re planning to knit the Arne&Carlos balls; I’m finding them super fun. The comment to use sparkle yarn is brilliant! Y’all are just too cute with your kind-hearted bickering. So many giggles this week. Thanks for sharing your true selves with us!
I like the idea of giving hats to everyone. And, using a different pattern for each hat. I usually use one crochet pattern and do hat and scarf sets for the mailman, postman, and garbagemen. But I do make extra sets for the homeless and put them out at different locations for people to take them. I have decided that my New Year's resolution is to teach myself to knit. Hopefully I will be knitting items for next winter as well. ❤
Question: How do you give your gifts to the mailman, garbagemen, etc? Do you just leave them a package either on top of the garbage can or in the mailbox that says "For garbage men / mailman / etc.?"
@@sweetteanoshade903 Christmas is on a Friday this year. So when my garbage guys do the pick-up on Wednesday, I will run out and meet them and give them their gifts. Same with the mailman. He delivers around the same time each day. So I will have all week to "catch" him and give him his gift. Same goes for the couple that deliver my papers. I tried leaving all of them packages one year. They either left them because they weren't aware it was theirs or someone else blatantly took them. If I want to give them something, I have to "catch" them. It is a pain to do. But well worth it.
John's laugh was definitely one of the first things I noticed about him that made him unique and interesting to me :). His sister has the exact same laugh :)
Hey guys! Love your hat for neighbours idea. I usually knit my mail lady a new hat every year but you got me thinking now about gifting others some at random times too, lovely idea! Ok, you guys sold me on the October evening hat! It turned out gorgeous, looks beige on screen but pink would be nice too. Scott I could tell you were a wee bit off but not terribly honestly. I understood too that the hats all needed to be done by Christmas 😂. Good luck on kicking caffeine a bit out of your life, it is so many of our addictions. Can’t wait to see the other 13 hats on your upcoming podcasts. Happy thanksgiving to you both and all Americans. We had our’s in Canada early October and boy it was sure different this year just having our household only. Hope you find a way to make it special. P.s. I seen that reindeer sweater too, it looked so fun and whimsical.
Hi, Someone may have already mentioned this. The difference between woolen and worsted spun. In worsted spun the fibers are all laying flat one next to the other. It is a dense, heavier yarn. Woolen the fibers are all jumbled and when spun makes the yarn full of air and loft. The term worsted is also used as a yarn weight, which can confuse things. Always enjoy your podcasts!
The knitting in the film is the way I was taught, ie English. It’s fast as you never take your fingers off the knitting. Left thumb pushes the stitches off left needle for the right needle, which is resting in between thumb and index finger of right hand, to catch one stitch at a time and a new stitch is made by simply pushing wool, which is resting on right index finger, over the right needle to be pulled through and make new stitch. Sounds complicated I know but isn’t really. Probably best on long needles though. A bit fiddly on circulars if too short. Thanks for the episode. Always enjoy even if don’t always comment 😁🌿
@@sweetteanoshade903 Yes it’s hard switching. It’s worth just trying out of curiosity but not necessaryI!!! I could knit anything, quickly, without looking at my knitting. But couple years ago had to find a new way of knitting cos the bottom joints of my thumbs were getting painful. I now knit with cables or double pointed needles and use a sort of continental style, looking forward to when I can knit by touch again 😂
I enjoyed it as always! I like your Halloween advent socks (great idea) and John's Wheat hat. Talking about your TH-cam channel in an interview couldn't hurt! I was surprised a few days ago when one of my galleries asked if I would advertise my upcoming show with them on our TH-cam channel (now The Artful Stitch). I think of doing the episodes as fun and a way to share, but it becomes a legitimate respected thing after a while. P.S. I like seeing the video clips of your trip!
Looking forward to hearing the chorus performance. My husband has sang with the Great Northern Union in the past, and we know quite of few of the GMC members. Happy Thanksgiving to you!
I'm just catching up on episodes. For the odd ends of yarn (neverending 40g balls) you could do a blanket like the northeasterly. You knit long strips. That one you pick up the next strip on the edge of the previous one. But you could also knit a bunch of X length scarves and join them.
At least one other person has chimed in about woolen vs worsted, but I couldn't help myself. I'm coming at this as a hand-spinner. To me, woolen spun means that it's made from carded fiber (roving or rolags, the fibers run in many different directions), and is spun long-draw (pulling the fiber away from the wheel, generally letting the twist into the fiber while you're still drafting it out, and you don't smoosh the fibers flat and smooth as you go). The result is an airy, lightweight, but fuzzy yarn. Worsted spun means that you used combed fiber (top, the fibers all run the same direction and the shortest fibers have fallen out during processing), and that it was spun with a short draw (fiber is drafted using both hands, the twist is only let into a little bit of the fiber at a time, and you smooth the singles down as you go). Result is a denser, smooth yarn. ETA: Columbia and Targhee are both breed of sheep.
Hey guys, I wrote you about the One Skein and Done KAL prize and hadn't heard back. Just wanted to be sure you saw it. Thanks and great podcast!! Knittingmaryb
Love your channel! When I heard "degenerate Austrian aristocratic family" I had to look up that film immediately and found it on TH-cam. The quality isn't brilliant but I'll certainly watch it. Enjoy your little trip to Austria, even if it's just on film. Greetings from Vienna :-)
A friend of ours also mentioned that it was available on TH-cam. I wish we had known that before we recorded our last episode and I would have definitely mentioned it. That's so cool that you're in Vienna! John has been there before, but I have not - I would LOVE to go (hopefully after this awful pandemic is behind us).
First of all, I really enjoy your podcast... Question for boys... How long do you knit the foot of the sock before you start the heel? I knit some socks for my boyfriend... I make them toe-up with a fleegle heel (which gives a similar look as to heel flap and gusset heel) and I have no idea how long should I knit the leg before the ribbing... Thank you in advance... Hope you are safe and well!!!
HAHA - I think I (Scott) definitely have worse memory issues compared to John. My friends tease me that I have mild aphasia... which is less funny the older I get!
I'm glad you guys are married😘 congratulations🎉🎊. My son got married last Halloween, now he and his husband are happily married😉 my new son took my sons last name , frankly I like my new sons old last name, whatever makes them happy that's what life is all about 💋... 🌹again congratulations 🎉🎊🎊😘🤗😉
Maybe I'm NOT here for the knitting, I think it's the cheap entertainment!! 🤣😂🤣😂 Ok, it's the knitting too, I got my Xmas sweaters done & I'm good for now!! (1 adult, 2 toddler) LOVE that hat!! I adore making hats, but I don't wear them. 🤷 I loved the unison "HARRIS"!! Happy Thanksgiving!
That is a good question. We've thought about doing Oscar winners from the past or other things... the Angela Lansbury movie thing was kind of an accident, so who knows where we'll go next! :)
When John was discussing the "stash", I noticed that his voice dropped about half an octave when he said acrylic. Please don't tell me that you guys are yarn snobs😒. While I admit that natural fibers are superior for most major garments, acrylic has a place in the world of knitting. It seems that while crocheters use acrylic almost exclusively, knitters (my personal observation) tend not use it at all, or hide it away like a dirty secret. The only major exception I have seen is Ross (smellslikeyarn) who uses it a lot and talks about the latest yarn hauls from Herrschner's and Premier. I tend to be a process knitter. I do finish projects (mostly cowls, shawls and hats) I prefer to knit just to make stitches and watch the fabric appear as if by magic. If I bought $25-$30 for all the swatches I make, I would go broke. I do have a wide variety of natural fibers (wool, alpaca, cashmere, etc.) in my stash, I use them only when I am going to complete a project that I am going to wear. Please don't take this comment as a criticism. I love watching you guys talk about your knitting, your lives, and even Angela Lansbury (I bought the complete DVD set of Murder, she wrote) after hearing you guys talk about her movies (I'm 70 and remember the series fondly). As a final touch, I wish Scott all the best in his potential promotion, and I wish both of you a Happy Thanksgiving, good health, and even a grudging admiration of acrylic 😉.

The sparkle yarn is such a good idea!
Great episode. Thanks for sharing.
Scott, love the Halloween socks. John, that lace work hat is fabulous. Great spending time with you two.
Thanks, Karen :). *hugs*
Love you guys. Watching y’all is starting to jump start my dead knitting battery.
Come back to us, Candy! Pick up those kneedles!
@@sweetteanoshade903 I actually spent most of the holiday weekend knitting so I’m on my way back.

Scott, love the note pad, and the plaid shirt. Looking forward to the chorus. John, great sweater. Sending hugs from 🇨🇦
Thanks! I saw a very similar shirt in the thumbnail for one of your episodes :)

@@sweetteanoshade903 haha, not at all!! Can't wait till next podcast day, such a fun time. Hugs from Ontario
I love the jumper you're wearing!
I love how John is so sassy this week. You’re both gorgeous xxx and I love the Flanny yaaass xxx
I adore you, Harris
Love you guys! This was another great episode. Thank you both and Happy Thanksgiving!!

That Wheat hat is so cool! I don’t knit hats often but that one is going straight in the queue.
As always - I loved it. “That Loft...Oh, never mind” 😂😂😂.
🌹 I was munching on my cookies and hearing the bickering hahaha 🤣 so so funny!! Loved seeing you back this week huns ❤️
Really love your podcast,always makes me laugh 😂😍

I keep thinking I'm going to watch a tutorial and try this method out. It's tough to switch knitting styles, but it's worth a try!

You can make matching fingerless mitts to go with the gloves with your 40 g left over. Especially if it’s DK they go pretty fast. Thanks for the show💞
Good idea - I always forget about fingerless mitts.
Looking forward to hearing the chorus performance. My husband has sang with the Great Northern Union in the past, and we know quite of few of the GMC members. Happy Thanksgiving to you!
Hi😁 The mics work great, so don't worry about Harrison's jingling, it is always nice to see him, and the kitties. 🤗
So soon!!! Happy dance!!! I was just watching an old episode from 2019 to get my Sweet Tea fix
I love how at the beginning of your video, the ad says “hello gorgeous “ cuz I know that you are talking about me😜

I totally appriciated the Ingemar Bergman comment. My grandmother worked with him!
Oooh that sounds like an interesting story.
I love seeing Harris and Junior and Linus!!! Speaking of the kitties, we haven't seen them in a while....
I love how John gives zero F’s. He’s just gonna knit.
He really is the best - I try to more like him in that regard.
“It’s not a competition” is our family motto 🤣 because everything is, of course, a competition! 😉
Nice hat John. Scott, Tincan Knits has Christmas ornament patterns. Happy Thanksgiving!

Arne is doing a sweater in leftover little bits of yarn. It’s beautiful

Good question - we'll talk about this in our next episode.
John did you knit your sweater? It looks great!
Hello boys! Great to see you so soon. John I’m like you, I have issues with memory 🤯🧶😢
HAHA - I think I (Scott) definitely have worse memory issues compared to John. My friends tease me that I have mild aphasia... which is less funny the older I get!
Omg I must be watching too many of your podcasts/vids because I remembered the name “autumn Drive”.
HAHAHA Your memory is better than ours! :)
I love the project bag that Scott’s Stupid Socks are in! (aka...SS socks) Where did you purchase it?
I'm glad you guys are married😘 congratulations🎉🎊. My son got married last Halloween, now he and his husband are happily married😉 my new son took my sons last name , frankly I like my new sons old last name, whatever makes them happy that's what life is all about 💋... 🌹again congratulations 🎉🎊🎊😘🤗😉
The only Angela landsbury movie that I know of and loved as a child was Bedknobs and broomsticks
We watched that one a few months ago and loved it. I'm not sure how I missed it when I was growing up!
Oh My DOG! Gorge' sox & hat!!!!
Maybe I'm NOT here for the knitting, I think it's the cheap entertainment!!
🤣😂🤣😂
Ok, it's the knitting too, I got my Xmas sweaters done & I'm good for now!! (1 adult, 2 toddler)
LOVE that hat!! I adore making hats, but I don't wear them. 🤷
I loved the unison "HARRIS"!!
Happy Thanksgiving!
fingerless gloves are great, especially if you know people who work in cold areas.
Good idea - I keep forgetting about fingerless mitts!
Here’s a scrappy sweater pattern for all your scraps. www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/whatever
Y'all give me hope I will find a man that I can knit and crochet with
If you find a man that doesn't knit, just teach him (that's what John did with me!)
Try knitting the Hatch hat.
Who are you two going to adore after you go through all of Angela Lansbury movies?
That is a good question. We've thought about doing Oscar winners from the past or other things... the Angela Lansbury movie thing was kind of an accident, so who knows where we'll go next! :)
Why is she knitting? I think you both are right- it's up to interpretation. Anyhoo... :). (Also your dog is too cute!)

Nope - we use acrylic. His tone was poking fun at yarn snobs.
Did you and Ross go all fanboy when you met?
