Thank you for another great inspiring podcast episode! Really love when you include pictures of you wearing your finished object, it really helps with the understanding of the garment 😊
It’s funny I never saw what all the hype was about the porcelain sweater until I save your color choices. Gorgeous. Oh and I’m currently knitting my Stripe Hype. I didn’t want to buy new yarn so I used stash yarn in Drops alpaca silk held double. I’m just joining the body. I hope to have it done next week. I’m new to your channel also the mother of 39 year old twin boys, fraternal. I’m a new subscriber.
You two are such a joy - wish I had just a little of your talent!! That cardigan is perfect - just classic!! Wonderful finished projects and wip’s - thanks for sharing 🥳💕
As a possible explanation of the absence of details in SandesGarn patterns....Some of my favorite knitting vlogs are the Nordic/Scandinavian (?) and I have picked I up on the fact that many of them not only learned to knit very young...but...were taught in school! 😮 As well as by family members. Culturally, the techniques may be more intuitive. That being said...by every indication it appears you're managing quite well. 😊
That is so neat!! I wish we had that here!! We were very lucky to have learned to knit when we were really young but how great would it have been to learn it in school! Thank you so much for sharing this!! 😊💛
Great podcast; your knits look so beautiful! One thing I like to do to help with the overwhelm of yarn shopping is making notes in my knitting journal that I bring everywhere about some patterns I'm interested in making. I have a list of 5-10 patterns that I'd like to make and I write down the name of the pattern, the weight of yarn it requires, and how much I would need for my size. That way if I see a yarn that really catches my eye, I can pull out my notebook and quickly see what I could use it for without too much effort. This has been especially helpful for going to yarn festivals.
Such beautiful knits! It’s a real treat to see what you both have made and are making! I’m knitting a Lanark for my husband at the moment - the first time ever that I have knit him a garment 😬🫢
the contiguous knitting with set in sleeves is my ideal sweater pattern. The fit is spectacular. Look at Coco Knits sweaters. Most are made that way. I will not make yoke sweaters anymore.
Hiya. Love the Knitting for Olive christmas sweater. I have many knits on my needles and some crochet at the moment 😂. Currently on my lap whilst watching is a tank top. Thanks for another great episode 😊
Fab video as always 😊 I am new to knitting so have had a few hits and misses! I am currently working on a pair of vanilla socks and plan to knit my first sweater next . I am definitely in the Jessica camp - I need a pattern to chose for when I go into a shop. I do other crafts and really don’t need a wool stack to match my quilting fabrics and cross stitch patterns. I am also a mum of twins but I have a boy and a girl., adults now.
Your Porcelain Sweater is gorgeous Jessica! Also loved your Eva Cardis! That pattern has been in my queue since it released, looking forward to seeing what you think of it.
What a fabulous podcast,so inspiring.I love your enthusiasm and passion for knitting 🧶 Your work is beautiful and it is making me rethink my yarn choices and patterns.Thank you both.Happy knitting and I look forward to seeing your next instalment 🌺🧶🌺
I just found your channel and wow you’re both such accomplished knitters! Great content, great inspiration and now I’m waiting for the Ozetta Clay sweater to be published that you test knitted.
Thank you for another inspiring episode! My queue always changes and grows after I watch you. I enjoy your pattern choices and the colors that you use. I’m making Eva cardigan in navy, so good. ❤
I may have said this before but you both have such a good eye for patterns/color/yarn combinations! Those Sari Nordlund socks with that little strip of color at the top is such a nice detail. And that holly sweater is so stinking cute!
I love watching you two together and your projects are always soooo beautiful and flawless. I bought the Holly sweater pattern right after watching your last episode because I want to make one also …. It’s sooooo beautiful! But now I’m worried if I will be able to make it. I was debating if I should make it, because I wasn’t sure about 3 colors colorwork and the bubbles - exactly what you mentioned it was not fun to knit, but I’m going to try to power through, as you did, because it’s gorgeous and I think it will be worth it. Thanks for another great episode. You are both adorable and so fun to watch 💖💖
This is Jess - I personally didn’t find it fun, but I hope you enjoy it! The nice thing is, if you don’t love the three strands at once, it’s not for too many rows! 🤍

Love your sweaters - so different but both beautiful. I just finished a Camisole Number 5. I love the result but cant see myself making it again in a hurry. All the picking up sts and double knitting. The result is worth it - but still.... not heaps of fun. Currently working on a Anker Summer Shirt by Petite Knit and enjoying that. Also the Soho Top by Caidree in Purl Soho Sweetgrass and a Field Sweater by Camilla Vad in Isager Highland and Silk Mohair held together. Oh and Pink Velvet by Andrea Mowry in Wollmeise Twin and Qing Melted Suri. Those are keeping me pretty busy and I am enjoying all of them. Thanks for sharing your lovely makes and WIPs. :)
The Stripe Hype sweater looks amazing. I really like the Clay Sweater too. I can't wait to see y'alls finished Eva Cardigans. I want to knit that cardigan too. 🧶
What a pair of twin poppets. I love all your knitwear and would like to try some colour work but am scared of the wool getting tangled and carrying yarn across the back of a garment. Perhaps you could so a short tutorial?😊
Such a fun watch! Thank you ❤. I also decided to make the Festive Yoke as Christmas Sweater this year. It’s a joy to make (and a lot of knitting if you do the all over colourwork version 😅). Enjoy!
Ahh I am so excited to start on it! I will probably only do the yoke, its been a minute since I've done colorwork so the yoke will probably be enough for me 😅
Love your podcast and your knits! I am almost done with the Eva cardigan in Peer Gynt, only the button band left. I can't wait to block this. The fabric a bit stiff right now. Fingers crosse blocking works it''s magic. The porcelain sweater is also on my to do list but there are a few other sweater that want to be made first 😁
We were both pretty young! Our mom taught us to knit around the 2nd grade and we kept with it, but we didn’t start knitting garments till we were in college! Now we’re 28 and still knitting all the time 🤗
Thanks for your lovely knitchat 🥰 I'm currently knitting on a sportweight sweater "Aphra" by Isabell Kraemer and on a Sophi Scarf. I'm also absolutely tempted by Sandness Garn patterns but am a little chickens*** TBH 😄 so I might default to a PetiteKnit pattern ... 😇 although 🤔argh, I don't know 😜
Omg that is hilarious about typing in "pickles" to Google...i can just imagine I would do the same thing! haha I love both your sweaters that you are wearing btw!!
Beautiful work..wow! I love your color combos and choices. It’s been so much fun watching these podcasts..I appreciate the work you all put into these. How do you both choose your yarn ..such as Sandnes Garn vs Knitting for Olive vs Bluesky Fibers vs whomever…If your looking for, say, fingering merino….cream. .
Ohh its so hard sometimes! I think sometimes for us its about if we're willing to wait for yarn or get it in person at a local store. If we're in a rush, thats the biggest factor, but if not we do often use recommended yarns for the pattern or yarns that have a color we really like. And now I think we have favorites too, like its hard to beat Knitting for Olive's Soft Silk Mohair (without it getting pretty pricey at least). 😊
Hello! I actually held two strands of alpaca cloud lace together with one strand of aloft, both from knit picks. It was left over yarn from another colorwork project I did earlier this year. ☺️ ~Jess
Love your podcast. Two lovely beautiful ladies. Amazing sweaters and finished projects. I just got home from Rhinebeck. I live in Ontario Canada. Hoping to start a podcast tomorrow to talk about Rhinebeck etc. If all goes well I will upload it next week. If you have any pointers please let me know. An old girl learning new tricks lol.
Ohh please update us if you do! We haven't ever been so we are loving the Rhinebeck content from those who have been! And if you got anything, its always so fun to see what yarns are offered there! 😊
I just found your channel and I love it! I feel like we are so similar! And I am facing a similar crisis! I for some reason agreed to make a 6 year old sized striped sweater and I now have 90+ ends to weave in…😅 i am very much procrastinating it…
Oh wow!! Lol I understand your struggle! I don’t know if I have advice because I managed to procrastinate for close to two weeks 😅 it will be worth it though!!
I’ve just started Sweater no. 26 by MFK. Almost right away I find myself rereading, may times, the directions. Never did a saddleback shoulder. So I can relate to knitting patterns translated. At least there IS some hand-holding. Just don’t get it. Love those Ballard socks. Going to need to look up Sari Nordlund again.
New constructions always seem to come with a bit of a learning curve! I don't think either of us have done a construction exactly like that but hopefully it gets easier for you because it is a beautiful design! 💛
Ahh the Brookside area is so beautiful!! The closest one to Brookside is Yarn Social, which has so many amazing indie yarns and some really great brands like Woolfolk and La Bien Aimee! We also really love Unwind Fiber Arts, which is probably a 20 some minute drive from Brookside but worth the drive if you can! They are a little bigger and also have some amazing indie dyed yarns and staple brands like Sandnes Garn 🤗 both stores have a beautiful selection!!
*types in pickles to google, wonders why there’s no yarn coming up* 😅 i’ve been there too with other words and laughed so much! love your projects as always 🤌🏼🤎
For Sandnes Garn, our local store Unwind Fiber Arts has some of the collection! We have also both ordered from Mother Knitter and Wool and Company. Wool and Company tends to ship really fast too! For Knitting for Olive, we order directly from the site. The shipping can be expensive but overall the prices per skein seem cheapest that way. I hope this helps! 💛
I think either PetiteKnit’s Novice cardigan or My Favorite Things Knitwear’s Cardigan No 7 would be good beginner knits! And they’re both very classic styles! 💛
Ciao ragazze, molto brave . Ma la camera che vi riprende non permette di vedere i filati , magari metterli in sovraimpressione come i modelli !!!!! ? Grazie di cuore ,buone feste
You young ladies are amazing. Very advanced knitters. Your sweaters and socks are beautiful. Love your content.
Thank you so much! ❤️
You really are talented knitters. Absolutely beautiful knitting projects 🍒🌱❤
Thank you for another great inspiring podcast episode! Really love when you include pictures of you wearing your finished object, it really helps with the understanding of the garment 😊

Oh my gosh that KfO Christmas sweater is STUNNING!!!! And all the socks you two have made are incredible!
Thank you so much! I think it’ll be worth the few rows of somewhat tedious colorwork! 🤗 ~Jess
What color did you use for the berries? I just went with pomegranate and kind of shocked how orange it is! 😢
Have you ever done Andrea Mowry's baubles where you knit backward instead of turning your knitting? Game changer for me.

Love watching your podcast! I always get so inspired for my next projects ❤
Aaah this was so inspiring! I now want to cast on ALL THE THINGS ❤
Love your channel and your knits. You are both so talented❤
Your sweaters are all gorgeous! I always love your yarn choices.
Another great episode guys! I love your sense of fashion and color choices! 🥰

This is such a good idea to keep a running list of ideas and recommended weights/yardage! I think I need to start doing the same thing! ☺️ ~ Jess
loved your podcast!
Really enjoyed your podcast. Such beautiful knits. Nice to see the porcelain sweater in a different colour.
Such beautiful knits! It’s a real treat to see what you both have made and are making! I’m knitting a Lanark for my husband at the moment - the first time ever that I have knit him a garment 😬🫢
So enjoyable, as always, - beautiful projects - Im more beginner so, always amazed -
Keep the content coming🙌🏼🤌🏼
the contiguous knitting with set in sleeves is my ideal sweater pattern. The fit is spectacular. Look at Coco Knits sweaters. Most are made that way. I will not make yoke sweaters anymore.
We will check her patterns out! Thank you for the recommendation!

I just found your channel and wow you’re both such accomplished knitters! Great content, great inspiration and now I’m waiting for the Ozetta Clay sweater to be published that you test knitted.
Thank you so much! The Clay Sweater was published today actually :)
Thank you for another inspiring episode! My queue always changes and grows after I watch you. I enjoy your pattern choices and the colors that you use. I’m making Eva cardigan in navy, so good. ❤
Ahh that is going to be so beautiful and classic! How did you make it through the yoke? These rows are so long right now 😅
I may have said this before but you both have such a good eye for patterns/color/yarn combinations! Those Sari Nordlund socks with that little strip of color at the top is such a nice detail. And that holly sweater is so stinking cute!
Thank you so much!! We could say the same about you! Your styling of handknits is impeccable 🤍

Thank you so much!
I make myself block and weave in ends before I call it finished because it motivates me to finish. But you do you!!
That is probably the best way to do it, but there were so many ends to weave in 😅
I was just wondering when you girls were going to podcast again! Love your content ❤
Thank you so much! 🥰

Ohh we believe in the power of blocking! I hope it goes well and softens up! Sandnes Garn has some beautiful yarn, and its such a classic pattern! 💛
Weave in the ends as you go. Very Pink knits has a great video. Very near and it avoids the aaargh moment at the end
Love your content! You are fun to watch and amazing knitters. When did you both start knitting?

It is really hard to beat a PetiteKnit pattern 😅 I feel like with enough determination you can do it!! Ahh the Aphra has such beautiful texture! 💛

I don’t think I’ve seen a dark version of the Salty Days Sweater yet! That sounds gorgeous!

For Knitting for Olive, we order directly from the site. The shipping can be expensive but overall the prices per skein seem cheapest that way. I hope this helps! 💛
@@thosetwinswhoknit I appreciate your help,. Thank you so much. Your knitting is incredible and I like your pattern choices = Fabulous!!!
Could you please link the shop, where you bought the sandnes garn booklets?
Somehow they don't sell in my country. 😅
Hi! They can be so difficult to find! We ordered our Sandnes Garn books from SKD Yarns. Hope that helps ☺️
@@thosetwinswhoknit Thanks for the fast answer.
Would you tell me where your ordered the Sandnes pattern booklets please
Hi! They were ordered from SKD Yarns. Hope that helps!
Veronika, kutovakika make så Beutiful knit. And leknit is danish, cool you found her. She also making very feminin knit
Her designs are absolutely stunning!
I’m looking for a recommendation for a first cardigan?
