It’s like magic thank you so much for the tutorial

First time watching. You are both beautiful knitters. I vote dark blue.

Joy, your stranded knitting is absolutely flawless, I was in awe of that beautiful hat!. Jackie is lovely isn’t she?, I would go for the dark blue myself, great episode ladies 😊

Wonderful to see Jackie again! I vote for the dark blue to edge the squares. (You can always count on me to put my 2 cents in!) You both had so many beautiful finished projects and so many lovely new yarns to show. Stunning new sweater design, Jackie, and I love the baby sweater, Joy. Hope to see you both soon!

I'd like to try this stitch for a different design but that would involve increases - would that be possible and if so how? Thanks!

I like the dark color for your squares.

What a great episode. So glad Jackie could join again. Your Persian Dream blanket will be an heirloom when you are done. Loved your baby sweater. I am looking for good baby patterns. No grandchildren yet but there is talk about it in the near future. Take Care!

Jackie is a joy. Such a lovely podcast.❤❤🎉

Thanks so much for this. I've gotten to where I want to start making more complicated, multi-color things, but I HATE having a "bad" side. This is just what I needed!

Finally finished watching while knitting baby hats!

Loved the tiny cats, Joy! The Farm & Fiber Knits magazine sounds very interesting. I hadn’t heard about it before. It’s exciting to see the designers who are participating - especially Alice Starmore! Her daughter Jade also designs knitwear but the garments tend to be theatrical costumes rather than wearable every day items. The article from Meg Swansen sounds familiar to me. Didn’t she write on that topic in Interweave or Vogue Knitting? Btw, I have the book Twisted-Stitch Knitting by Maria Erlbacher if you ever want to borrow it. The patterns are quite beautiful. Finally, I’m so happy that everyone seemed to enjoy our Knitting to Flatter class! It was a wonderful day!

Hi again! I'm watching as I knit on the first piece (the back) of a cotton summer tee top (Vincas from Berroco, with Estelle Young Touch Cotton DK -- discontinued -- deep stash!). I love your wee kitties (I have 3 cats -- 1 elder and two that are siblings, 1 year old) but haven't the patience to do the fiddly knitted kitties you've done,, Joy! As for the chicken -- I'm happy to admire from afar. NOT happening here! LOL! Again, the "fiddly factor" that I associate with ALL knitted toys has kicked in. Knitting is in itself my emotional support! RE: the 10-stitch hat. Hmmmm....I'm inclined to trust your review before I take the plunge and add it to my repertoire (mostly made from stash for charity). It seems to me there are other, better options for hats that I want to knit to give away! I was interested in your comments about Fiber Knits "magazine" as I have received information urging me to sign up. I'm Canadian so must consider that the cost in CAD is 30% higher. A $65 USD publication (or offering) would cost me $100 CAD -- and to receive only one REAL copy of it...and have the rest "dribbled out" (my perception) by e-mail?! Not happening at my end. Happy July 4 to you. Canada Day is July 1...so this is a very special week!

After watching some other tutorials, this one is a real blessing! So much clearer to follow and looks beautiful! Thank you!

Thanks! I was just getting ready to frog a striped shawl b/c I didn't like the way I was carrying the yarn up the side.

L9ve this 😂

Can i use this for toe up with gusset ?

That’s brilliant, I’m looking forward to trying that out. It looks very neat 😊

Lovely makes as usual, ladies! Loved the buttons for Janet’s Felix! I’m working on a lightweight sweater called Chinkapin Pullover with the softest yarn ever. Next up will be a summer top called Iris by Yumiko Alexander that should be lots of fun.

I’m behind on watching your last 2 episodes! I wanted to comment on your double knitting issue with rowing out, Joy. I’ve had the same issue. It’s worse if using cotton yarn, of course. Better if I reduce needle size. Interestingly, I saw a friend yesterday who was working on her 1st double knit hat from a class she had just taken. It looked perfect. When I commented on how nice the stitches appeared, she said the instructor said to go back and tighten up the purl stitches after working 3 or 4 of them. I imagine that this could be very slow and tedious, but might be worth exploring? Let me know if you try it!

Thanks Joy! Great tutorial👏I wondered if I was doing it correctly...I've only tried it once before...I will try again with confidence 😀

I think you found this bind off from me, Joy. I used it in a recent project which you commented on. I had never heard of it before either. The one thing that I found which made it a bit easier on my wrists was to use a short dpn for the right needle. It made me feel like I had less distance (and no cable!) to twist around. See if it makes a difference for you!

That silly chicken brought me back to knitting after a six-year hiatus a couple weeks ago after I randomly saw it on social media somewhere 😂 since finishing it I've knit 4.5 hats and a shawl! Very grateful to be back in the yarn :) I loved your cardigans, blankets & anecdotes! This is the first video I've seen of yours and I love it, looking forward to more!! 💟

Joy, may I ask what that sweet pattern area is?

first time watcher here I loved it! subscribed <3

Wow, those Felix cardigans are gorgeous!. Janet, those buttons are such a good match they’re almost camouflaged 😊. I love the way you worked the colours on your cardigan Joy, I’m going to try that on my next project, and the way you redeemed yourself with the short rows! 😊 well done ❤

Knitting this fingering one plain. My first Tolsta has stripes and I love it. 🎉

Quite clever. Been knitting almost 60 years and still finding new things to learn.

Beautiful knits ladies! Thanks for the visit 😀 people are starting to call me the chicken lady...I finished my 16th chicken yesterday May 25th...careful they are addicting and everyone wants one! 🐔🐔🐔❤ I'm Karnesee on ravelry

I’ve got a Tolsta Tee in HolstGarn Tides on the needles, and I’m knitting a Tegna in Knit Picks Lindy Chain for my daughter’s birthday in early June. :) Fun podcast, Ladies!

Joy, you surely are able to make lemonade out of a lemon! Your ability to “fix” your Felix is amazing!!! Janet, your Felix is lovely!! I’m not a summer knitwear wearer…I knit sweaters all summer so I have new ones to wear in the fall. And, knitting for the grands happens in the summer!

LOL! So you've fallen for that chicken too, eh? I confess that a) I don't like finicky projects -- including toys -- and I don't enjoy making short rows -- so I'm just being entertained by all the chicken-makers out there, happy to watch from the sidelines. As for a summer top -- I made one last year, and had great intentions (patterns and stash yarns at the ready) but...my daughter approved the "Presto Vesto" from Amy Gunderson for Xmas 2024/Birthday -- January 2025 -- and it's *quite* the knit. That's my focus -- along with some socks and cross stitch and gardening -- for this year. It's still chilly here -- in the fifties and low sixties Fahrenheit (rough translation from 10 -14 Celsius) so I'm still enjoying wool socks and sweaters!

Your persian dreams blanket is just that, a dream. Incredibly beautiful. I can't wait to see the final reveal!

Can this heel be worked on a toe up sock? If so when do I start the heel. Your tutorial made it all click!

Loving your creative use of stash yarns! Beautiful projects! I remember that Mission Falls at Unraveled…

Some beautiful WIPs there ladies 😊❤

You both make everything look easy. I was feeling so good, purchasing Kelbourne yarn to make the Felix Cardigan for Rhinebeck. Now I see Joy using three yarns!!! Looking forward to us wearing our cardigans.

I just *love* watching you two and what you're working on! I admire the double-knitting and the pressed flowers pattern, but want to do *neither*! LOL! I also don't record my stash in a book -- just on Ravelry. Even then, it's incomplete; I'm always doing up-dates with yarn or roving I discover in the process of looking for something. It's always fun to see what you've made, and what you're making and how you combine yarns together to make new colour-ways. Thanks again for another lovely podcast. 😊

So happy to see another episode pop up today. Best wishes to both of you. I'm still up north and it was only 0C this morning so we are all enjoying sweaters for a bit longer. As always, I enjoyed seeing all of your beautiful projects.

Ty so much! My Christmas stocking was a mess and I didn't know what to do before I watched your video. You are a life saver! Lol.!

Ive been knitting most of my life but when Majorie pulled out her blanket, I was totally gobsmacked!. That was amazing 😊

So fun to see all of your new acquisitions, ladies! You got some real lovelies there. And the pictures from your lunch at Caleb’s made me so hungry that I immediately booked a reservation for tomorrow night for dinner. Thanks for reminding me about them. I haven’t been there in years!

I saw Carlos knitting the first stitch when he was on the rows when knitting the 2 stitches together. You don’t knit the first stitch. Is there a difference in how it turns out your or his way?

My son and daughter-in-law are moving to Philly this summer and it sounds like I need to plan a visit in March next year! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Your counterpoint shawl is beautiful Janet, and your herringbone scarf, Joy! Love the colors. Those urth yarns! Also like the European sock yarns, they wear better. Great that you go as a group to the crawl! Those are so fun, better together.

Love the hat and socks with the St Patrick's clovers!

What a lovely segment -- and such fun you had on your Yarn Crawl day out! I too love the sturdier sock yarns (Opal, ONline Supersocke, Lana Grossa and the like). That Uneek Urth you got, Janet -- 100% Extra-fine Merino (the highest grade merino, I think) -- is there a shawl in your future? I've been sitting on a skein of that for a while...Thanks for the tour; it was delicious -- and just a teaser to get me ready for our own Rose City Fibre Festival in Camrose (Alberta) next weekend!

I am jealous of all of the wonderful sock yarn you picked up on your last shopping trip. I have recently purchased West Yorkshire Spinners 4-ply and I've fallen in love with. Hopefully it feels as good on my feet as it does on my hands. Thank you for another wonderful episode!

your tutorial was easy to understand ,you are a good instructer ,thank you

Love the way this looks but I remember doing this stitch many years ago in the round and hating it! If I made a mistake I couldn’t drop down to fix it and found that really frustrating. Your scarf is beautiful, though! Maybe you don’t make mistakes 😂. Or maybe it had something to do with it being in the round.

If i wanted to make it wider, say 9 inches, would i cast on an even amount or does it need to be in multiples of a certain # ? I found the pattern and downloaded it, and it calls for 30. Just not sure how many to add 🤔
