Rachel, I love your RUclips videos, thank you so much for spending the time to create them for us. I would tell you which topics I like the best, but I like them all. Thank you 😊
My son and DIL are in Milwaukie - also super close to Starlight Knitting Society - LOVE them. Just a beautiful shop. I also do the same thing with my Tuft Woolen soap - in the yarn baskets. :) Glad you enjoyed! Sorry I missed this year.
Your audio is crisp and clear. I love all the fairy 🧚🏻♀️ products ❤. And your upcoming projects ! Lovely purple yarns , and the top you are wearing too. Happy Knitting 🧶💜
If you dont like thoes bags .... use them for a prize ! CRAZY isnt a mental thang ---- its a FUN, WILD , SILLY way of describing something ! Always choose the positive side of things ......... The new camera is fantastic !! Clear voice !!
Words that have historically (and currently) been used to discriminate against and mistreat a group of marginalized people are inherently linked to those meanings unfortunately.
😊I so enjoy your videos. I like that you are so honest about products, knits and patterns. It’s not all super great all of the time. Your honest opinions are refreshing and I feel that I can trust what you say. See you next week 😊
Thank you so much! It is a bit awkward to share my disappointments sometimes, but I think it’s really important to be honest. It gives me too much anxiety to be dishonest 😂😂😂
I am with you with the crazy yarn lady bag. Knitting keeps me sane and happy. I couldn’t use that either. And I don’t hoard yarn either. It’s my supply cabinet for my crafting. Happy Knitting 🧶 ❤
And as long as we are confessing, I have three full sets of Chicagoo sets. Sizes 4 & 5 in bamboo and 5 in metal. Depends on the material… and I am not a monogamous knitter. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Hi Rachel, such a good video!! Firstly, I need to say it, I loved your T Swift "lost in translation" reference, i din't know you were a swiftie too!😍 also it seems the yarn crawl was a lot of fun, I'm so happy you had such a great time with your friends! I also had a social-heavy week, full of stuff to do and people to meet last week, and I don't know if it's the case with you too, but as an anxious girlie I can get quite nervous when I have to meet lots of people and spend a bunch of time socializing😅 But guess what, I did it anyway and guess what, it was fun and I had a very good time!! Cause we can do things that scare us and we are actually pretty good at them sometimes!
Well you may be disappointed to know I am not a swiftie BUT I am an aspiring swiftie! Leslie @knitcalifornia is helping me learn. And I’m proud of us for being social this last week! I hope you get to recover with peace and yarn 🧶💜
@@rachelisknitting I'm not disappointed at all, and if Leslie's helping you, you'll be a swiftie in no time!! I'm having a lots of funny but quite knitting time this week indeed🥰
Audio is great! What camera did you get btw? Omg that rose city yarn crawl sticker is amazing. I’d want that on a tote, a tee, a hoodie, everything! So glad you guys had so much fun!
Another great podcast! The new camera seems to be working perfectly and the audio was fine. I agree about the crazy part of the tote bag. To me, it's not funny. And as hoarding is a disorder we don't need to poke fun at that either. The notebook seemed to possibly be a spinners record keeper? Samples of handspun and the specs? I wonder. That yarn crawl sounded like great fun and I enjoyed hearing all the details. I think your " no photography " comment was a joke especially because you recognized the person even if he did not recognize you. Stop worrying! ( I know, It's hard to stop and I worry too). I hope you give the Nano another go. It's a great tool!
Rachel...... The green jumper you are wearing in the video where can i get the pattern from ??? Regards TEE Oops read info and now found lion brand jumper
Hey Rachel! Audio is very crisp so no worries there!! I also do not like the “verbiage” as you said on the bag and i do agree with you. It’s used so flippantly and exclusively to describe women who have an interest in something. Not about it 👎 but I am about your podcasts they’re great have a lovely day to you and anyone else reading this ❤
May I ask a question. When you knit in the round do you swatch in the round? I've tried it before and I really really don't like it so I wonder if there is an easier way?
Thank you for validating my feelings about the spring surprise box. As a licensed therapist who specializes in hoarding, I was deeply disappointed in the twice sheared sheep box both because of the sticker and the use of "crazy" on the bag. Also, as a nonbinary person, it was off-putting for TSS to assume everyone who buys their products identifies as a "lady." It was my first subscription box from them and I'm now reconsidering signing up for future boxes or even shopping from them in the future unless there is some sort of public acknowledgment of the mis-step.
I am SO sorry this happened. It’s such a bummer. I didn’t even think of the issue with “lady,” but of course you’re absolutely right on that one. Really disappointing. I’ve emailed them to let them know my upset, so I hope they respond productively.

I feel differently! I am already cooking up some fun, wild, and silly ways to make this bag more my style 💜

Going by the vibes while knitting the Oslo Hat is the way to go ✌✌
Absolutely!

Love this! I love the Brittany Cable needles- they have the perfect amount of stickiness and slip- another one for you to try out❤
Oh thank you!

Exactly!!
I love that Addi's (Ruby & Roses) stellina base is 4-ply!!
Yes I was really excited about it!
I love the switch to the classic “podcast” format! Your videos and commentary are 10/10!
Glad you like them!

This is goals right here!
Sound is great and congratulations on the new camera. Now I’ll watch the rest of the video. ❤
Thank you!!
What a great way to start my work day! Always love hearing about what have you been knitting and doing
That is so sweet!!!
Looks like you had a great time! I do the same thing with soap but I use shower steamers or bath bombs
Smart!

Thanks! I got the Sony ZV1-F.
Camera mike works great!
Great news!
Audio and video are great!
Yay, thank you!
I think the Zweig would be a good pattern for your fun yarn.
It would! My yarn is DK weight though unfortunately.
@rachelisknitting that is unfortunate. Apparently, I didn't pay attention! 🙄

Using the notebook as a spinner’s record is a good idea! Yet another reason to face my fears and try spinning again!
Sound is fine!
Thank you!
audio is great
Sounds great!
Excellent!
Can hear you loud and clear down under in Australia
Thank you! So cool that technology connects us half a world away!
Love your top. What pattern is this from (if you can remember). Also, you didn’t need the mic.
Thanks! It’s the Easy Ribbed Slipover from Lionbrand. It’s a super simple knit!
Rachel......
The green jumper you are wearing in the video where can i get the pattern from ???

It’s a staple piece in my wardrobe!

May I ask a question. When you knit in the round do you swatch in the round? I've tried it before and I really really don't like it so I wonder if there is an easier way?
Yes I recommend swatching in the same manner your item will be made in. Swatching in the round is a pain for me, too!
Doesn't seem like a lot of stores. I remember when the yarn crawl was like 20 stores.
That would have knocked me on my butt!
Pausing cuz I need my coffee lol but wanted to ask, did you meet KnittyNatty?
Okay never mind I just got to that part 🖤
I almost got that exact mohair earlier but then I remembered I had that dark purple and silver I showed you!!
