Laughing at your teddy stories. I used to have a large calico cat. She was probably close to Teddy's current size. I knitted a series of blankets in Lion Brand's Homespun yarn. Marble, the cat, loved that yarn. I am sitting on the couch knitting one afternoon. Marble was sitting with me, but I wasn't paying a lot of attention to her. All of the sudden I couldn't pull any yarn to knit with. I look down to my skein, expecting a large tangle. Instead there was no skein, just a trail of yarn. My glass door was open, and the yarn trail leads outside, up the porch stairs and there is Marble-skein in her mouth- heading outside. Who knows what she meant to do? LOL! THANK YOU for the wonderful description of Brioche and Fisherman's Rib. I love knitting Fisherman's Rib and have never been able to make Brioche work!
Today’s podcast was so much fun! FYI there is no need to apologize for back ground noise in your videos, it’s just part of the charm of these shows. It’s relaxing sitting with friends and talking about knitting. Loved the Yolk book!
Oh, always so delightful when you have a new podcast out! So inspiring, new colors, new patterns, new books ( I am loving Just Yoking), new techniques… I just love it! Thank you both so much for sharing your time with us. Absolutely no distractions from the background noise 😁 I think it’s just really an added bonus to see what’s going on in the shop as far as new yarns and projects. In fact, if I’m ever in the area for sure I will want to see Pick Up Every Stitch.
Kim and your late night knitting. 2 circular needles are perfect for any number of stitches. If you have interchangeable needles, only the working needle needs to be gauge. Your non working needle can be any size, but smaller works best. You may already be aware, but didn’t get that impression. Enjoy your show, never miss an episode.😊
Great knits! Great hair color! The two of you make me smile. You’re lucky to have each other. Thank you for sharing your knitting journeys with us. The enjoyment & the challenges. 💕🧶 Heidi, from Chicago
Love these videos! Please don't worry about background noise. You are in a working yarn shop. If we were knitting together in person there would be background noises. The Here Comes The Sun sweater is BEAUTIFUL! Thanks for being inspiring and encouraging. ❤
You ladies are so wonderful. I sit and work on my wip's and learn so much about new to me patterns, yarn and all of your problem solving knitting. Thank you so much for all you do.
I watched this episode twice… once while knitting and another time while cleaning and cooking ❤❤❤ So lovely to see all you are making, the yarns, your favorite things… and at the end I had the giggles too ❤
all of your projects are beautiful. Love the dynamic between the 2 of you. Also enjoy that your podcasts are longer than the podcasters. It gives me a many hours of enjoyable knitting time.Jonna it is making boring baby blanket better.
According to Norman of Nimble Needles, Fisherman’s Rib and Brioche are exactly the same, the names historically just come from different places. He has an excellent video showing 4 different ways to knit this stitch. Demystified completely.
I enjoyed this episode so much! Chock full of inspiration. You both are such lovely knitters. So generous with your time, knitting wisdom and even those knitting challenges. Thank you!
Kim and Jonna, I enjoy your podcast. Kim, you have such a generous soul with all of your gift knitting. Jonna, I love your little Teddy. Please keep his updates coming. Karin Patience
This is my first visit to your podcast and I am so happy I stopped by for a listen. Loved it! Great chemistry between you two, wips, knits, yarns and more. Thank you. Especially enjoyed the end. You had me laughing along with you.
Hello Kim and Jonna! I’ve had my eye on Olga’s “Only Yoking” pattern book. I’ve watched your podcast from the beginning. Thank you for another enjoyable episode! I always learn something new about knitting every time I watch your podcast. ❤😊
Thanks for another awesome episode ladies! Love the Kaleidoscope cardi and all the hats Kim, and the Here Comes the Sun sweater looks gorgeous! Love Jonna’s long sock tube and Oslo hat looks soft and squishy. I miss Hill Country Weavers since I moved away from Austin. The Yoking book looks so fun, lovely color work sweater on the front cover. Thanks for the generous giveaway.
Regarding Willow’s captions, it’s easy for any viewer to go into the settings of the video (gear icon in upper right!) and choose ‘captions’ and then choose ‘Auto-translate’ and choose English. Takes 1 second and works like a charm! Thanks for your awesomeness, Kim and Jonna. Inspired each and every time I watch your podcasts. 😊
Hardly noticed the noise, thanks for another fabulous episode. This was full of so much fun and I was smiling the whole way through. OMG Teddy!! What a lucky boy he is. Jonna your tip about counting rows by moving a stitch marker, after the BOR marker, along every time you do a row, has been so time saving. I used to stop and mark on paper each row and now I just whiz on by moving the stitch marker as I go along💪🏻 Happy knitting and see you next time 🥰
Hello beautiful ladies...🤗 I love your podcasts... Your amazing energy helps me to get through the situation, that my grandmom passed away 2 weeks ago... Thank you for sharing your positivity and knowledge in your unique way ... this brings the light to my days ❤️ Sending my love from the heart of Europe🤗
Kim, your Here Comes the Sun Sweater is stunning! I love, love the colors and your stitches are perfect! I hope to make a colorwork yoke sweater soon. Yours inspires me. So does Jonna’s Skeindeer Vest. I really would love to knit that. And your colors are also so beautiful. Thanks for the inspiration. ❤
Your podcasts are always a hoot! I love everything you knit! I think the book, Only Yoking, is a wonderful idea! Kim, please don't give up on your beetle. Maybe a VW dealership would be the way to go, if you haven't tried already. Hoping for the best! 🌼
25:10 oh gosh! My cavapoo was exactly the same 😂 i got him secon-hand when he was 5 months old, no wonder his first owners didn't want to keep him. But I am telling you, a lot of love, patience and some training will help your puppy to grow up into a beautiful happy smart dog. My puppy suddenly changed short after 12 months. One day I came back home where he was all by himself, and I didn't find anything ruined, chewed or out of place, I was so happy and he realised that I am happy with him, he never destroyed anything again. He is 5yo now. They are very very smart dogs, and their main work is to make their humans happy 😊
@@KnitTogetherwithKimJonna oh, poor baby is teething. He'll be disappointed not to be able to chew on your rug anymore 😄 I always make sure my dog has chewable treats, those that are hard to eat fast, keeps him busy. But yes, until they change all their baby teeth they can't help it but to chew things.
First, loving that red/pink sweater behind Jonna…wow. Sign me up for the Only Yoking book! 🎉 Also, really enjoyed seeing your WIPS. Kim, I made my weekender too big, so I feel you! Hopefully, you still love your HCTS as an FO! Looks great! ❤
Love your podcasts! You two are so lucky to have such a lovely yarn shop nearby. All my local yarn shops have closed ;( and it just isn't the same ordering yarn from the internet- you don't get to experience the "squish" factor. Smiled at the title of the "Only Yoking" book and absolutely love the yolk on the cover photo! Hope you chose my comment to win the book!
I think if I concentrate on one project, I can finish more projects like Kim! The sunny sweater is so pretty. Jonna, I visited Hill Country Weavers a few years ago. I was on a time crunch too because my family was in the car😀 Lovely store. What an awesome book of sweaters!
Wowza! Your Here Comes the Sun sweater is so stunning and beautiful, Kim! You completed that lovely sweater that I voted for so fast vis-a-vis knitting all those awesome Monster Beanies, grand children sitting, and life! Wow, I wish had your skills. I am so inspired to knit one since you presented it us for a vote for your next project! Congratulations and enjoy your uber amazing sweater! Thanks for sharing and the wonderful chance to win a copy of all those beautiful patterns in Olga’s book! ❤❤
Excellent episode as always! I’m always delighted to knit along with you and see what you’ve been working on and hearing all your future knitting plans! And of course, the Teddy updates 🐾
Hi Kim and Jonna, I’ve been binge watching your podcasts and just love them. I have now caught up to watching your recent podcast. I’ve learned so much from both of you. I’m so inspired to try knitting so many items. Thank you for all the fun!
Hello 👋 I came across your podcasts recently and enjoy them very much. It’s like having company whilst I knit. I first discovered RUclips knitting podcasts when I needed to learn about steeks so I could make a garment from a knitting magazine. It opened up a whole new world for me. I thought I was a good knitter after 50 years of knitting! I’ve learnt so much. From different styles of cast on and cast offs to knitting in the round and the wonderful world of unique yarns. I’d like to thank all the RUclips podcasters that I watch but there are so many! Thank you for your very enjoyable podcast and the lovely inspiring designs. PS, I’m from a little seaside town in the UK 🇬🇧
Hallo Ladies, it is so much fun for me to watch your Podcast. And the projects on your needles are so great and an Inspiration for me. And my knitting vocabular in english gets better every Day. And the book "only Yoking" seems like an Inspiration for all knitters who like to knit different yokes.
The sunshine sweater is so pretty. I think the 3rd time ripping would be my limit. I love the vest. So very pretty. Thanks for the great podcast and so happy it is a longer one! I have to sit and knit and I'm on a big project so I'm willing to sit and knit.
Love the Sun jumper Kim! Jonna, have you seen Yamagara's Lapis pattern? I've made 3. One of which was for a friend after she lost her mum. She wears it to work over a dress and says it gives her a hug because it's her mum's favourite colours. It's fitted, a perfect spring/summer knit to go over dresses and keep of the chill of air con. It has a Russian graft and that's so cool, you'll never use Kitchener stitch again. It takes the smallest amount of yarn and gives the biggest impact ever. Thanks to both of you for the detailed episode.
I (Jonna) have the pattern! And the sister pattern, too. I loved them last year and never got around to making them. I even have yarn! Amy Palko made one of them, can’t remember, but it was stunning. I just need more time to knit 🤣
Hi there! I love watching you two so much. You brighten my day! You asked for a tip of sorts that a pattern doesn't specify. I'm very generous with stitch markers. During cast-on, I set a ring marker every 20 sts. If I go right into ribbing, I'll keep them on for a few rounds to alert me if I get off pattern (if a knit comes before a marker, I know I'm off count). I also use them anywhere there is an established pattern--cables, lace, basketweave, dec/increases, etc. AND when I pick up stitches. This way I only have to count to 20 or so, and I can still be present for my family, TV, or whatever.
Hello Kim and Jonna. I’m so happy to have been able to sit down and get caught up with you both. Kim: I watched the episode with 5 of your grandchildren and I loved your finished socks and sweater and hat! Wonderful makes, all of them. Your video footage of the walk and visit to the farm was so much fun. That led me to this podcast which I’m loving as well. You two are so busy with all your knitting projects. Have fun with Max at the end of the month. I also watched he and Vincent today so I was aware of his forthcoming visit to NY. It was a good knitting/podcast day for me. Keep up the great shows and don’t worry about the background noise… doesn’t bother me a bit 😊
Watching your outtakes was hilarious and contagious. There was so much to love about this video. Both of you have a really good sense of what colors work together. The 'Sun' sweater and the vest are stunning.
I loved the solution to mistakes or problems with the knitting; go to sleep! I too have found it much less stressful when my brain and eyes are fresh. Lovely episode and so fun.
Fun episode Ladies😃 love the projects! I have knit one Brioche sweater. The Newspaper sweater by Joji. It took me 6 months. Every time I picked it up to work on. I would have Steven West in my head saying “not today!” He calls the yarn overs little shawls. his tutorials are hilarious. But sure helps you remember what you need to do. I learned so much knitting that sweater. Totally understand what your feeling with your vest Jonna. Kim your sweater looks amazing!
I wash all my knits when done knitting them. I never pin block to measurements. Instead, I remove excess water, then lay flat to dry, smoothing out the fabric without stretching it. Also, I did an experiment steam blocking versus wash and dry flat blocking, and the dried measurements were slightly different.
You both are so much fun! I am always so excited to sit and knit for a new episode. Kim, your Here Comes the Sun is so pretty! Jonna, you will be so happy with that Academic; the colors are sublime. You have both inspired me to make Oslo hats for Christmas presents. I need to call Pick Up Every Stitch and order the yarn for it. I highly recommend being a Cable 3! The Zoom was so much fun.
Thank you so much about your honesty with knitting trouble. I regularly have difficulty joining in the round, so hearing Kim say to took her 20 attempts … I don’t feel like such a newbie. 🙏 for MY Teddy. He goes in for ACL surgery next Wednesday. I’ll be home with him for 5 weeks as he recovers, so I imagine I’ll have some knitting time. 🐾
Loved your podcast. You don’t have to apologize for the shop noise…I’m actually surprised that there isn’t more shop noise 😊. Both of your knits are inspirational!
I always enjoy your videocasts. I have learned to use markers for each section I pick up on a garment. It really helps with the counting. Your idea of dividing front and back in half is a very good idea also. I will add that to my list of ideas. Thank you.
Love the colours of Jona's vest. One helpful hint to share..if I borrow needles from one WIP for another project, I leave lightbulb stitch markers so I remember the needle size I was using.
What a happy podcast! As an introvert knitter I quite identify with Jonna, although sadly none of my friends are knitters 😢😢😢 So I LOVE everything that you talk about/showcase - including giveaways!!!
I voted for the Here Comes the Sun and it’s exciting to see it’s almost finished!! Love hearing about TEDDY, I also have a Teddy(husband). As Kim would say “so funny “😊
Lovely episode, thanks for the intro, very thoughtful and it really wasn't bad at all and it makes it so real and fresh, it was a great episode from head to toe ! Lots of great inspiration and wisdom , as always. Jonna loved loved the names of your new grand daughter and that lilac will be a show stopper, can't wait to see what you knit. I am excited about LYS and I think it's the perfect day to go to Pick up every stitch for the first time :) . Thanks again for a delightful episode that brings so much joy !
Enjoyed your watching this. I'm always inspired by both of you. I like your academic vest and choice if colors. It's certainly on my lust to knit. Olga's book is awesome !
My daughter lives in Austin and one day gave me twenty five minutes in Hill Country Weavers- ah I needed two days. I have knit a lot for my grandkids and one of my favorite patterns is Simon and Simona it is unisex and it grows with the child from a tunic to a top. I have knit so many check it out. Add cute accent buttons to the older sizes just adorable.
Thanks for the new podcast. It‘s so funny. I‘m from Germany and like to watch english/american Podcasts to train my english. And now you are speaking about „Willow“. I watch her podcasts too, I like her style. When I watch your podcasts it‘s like sitting with friends together, talk and knit. I had so much fun tonight! 💐
Jonna, the color work on your Academic is beautiful- it just glows! Btw, the rule for divisibility by 4 is that if the last 2 digits are divisible by 4, then the number is. Thanks for your fun podcast!❤
Loved the podcast and all of your finished projects. Your knitting (both of you) always looks impeccable and so professional. Kim, I also purchased the Here Comes the Sun pattern and yarn after seeing it here, but I chickened out of knitting it because of the three color rounds : / I'm a flicker with a totally dominant right hand. I ended up using the yarn to make the Forsythian Pullover by Jennifer Steingass. Lot's of stranded colorwork but only two at a time! I love the way it's turning out, but I'm drooling over yours...it's gorgeous!
Love catching up with your knitting adventures!! Knitting wisdom - I’ve been knitting for so long that quite often I just do things the way I feel rather than the way the pattern says. But… a great tip - picking up stitches for armholes or neck - if you’ve accidentally picked up a few too many or a few too less ( maybe within about 10 sts) just evenly on the first round make up the correct number rather than ripping out multiple times. 💚
You both make my day seeing all your amazing knits and fun personalities! Thanks for all you do in making the world a little happier and displaying your talents!
Just saw the yarn for Jonna’s new granddaughter Madeline 😍😍😍 I just made (this week) two vertebrae cardigans for girl/boy twins due in June. Super simple and quick and so adorable. And the concept behind the style is perfectly sensible🤓
Love each episode! I have been extremely hesitant to try brioche but I’m inspired to try after seeing your gorgeous sweater you are working on! How beautiful. Thanks! ♥️✨
I’m a ripper! It stresses me out much more to have something sitting around not being finished or worn and if I don’t like how an item is knitting up, I would much rather have it be what I want. I love that there is such a wide range of what works for folks and personalities.
Thanks for another enjoyable podcast. You two keep me thoroughly entertained during my insomnia knitting hours. So sad for Daisy, all our cars at home have names too. I bought my 'lightly used' retirement car in the first year of the pandemic, I named her Mavis, she really seemed like a Mavis to me. I knew that Mavis hadn't been used a lot after her owner passed away shortly after buying her brand new, and she had been garaged at the daughter's place. I was clearing out the glove box and came across the original owner's name in the manual, her name was Mavis. Love all of your knits & banter
Kim - based on your suggestion I've been watching Willow Knits auf Deutsch. I started with captions but too distracting. It's a great language immersion experience - I took German for years in school but haven't used it much since. Turns out (for me) being immersed in a topic I love and know makes it really a pleasurable - maybe even a learning experience. I am amazed how much I'm remembering. It helps that she is really a good You Tuber too. Thanks!!!
Kim, love your Here Comes the Sun sweater! It reminds me of your flower VW. Jonna, I want to make your April cardigan! Thank you both for sharing your podcast with us.
Hi Kim and Jonna, Thank you so much for another wonderful episode! I love watching your videos and your amazing projects. I’m German (from Stuttgart), and I moved to VA 7 years ago. I also like watching Willow’s knits. Looking forward to maybe seeing you in Maryland. Anja
Thank you for your wonderful podcast! The only yoking book looks great! BTW - the background noise is barely noticeable and part of the charm of a knitting shop😊
G'day! Another wonderful podcast. So nice to see Jonna's April Sweater again, as I am just about to start mine, which was inspired by Jonna's sweater when she first made it. The Yolk book looks amazing. Thanks for keeping me company and keeping me inspired.
Laughing at your teddy stories. I used to have a large calico cat. She was probably close to Teddy's current size. I knitted a series of blankets in Lion Brand's Homespun yarn.

THANK YOU for the wonderful description of Brioche and Fisherman's Rib. I love knitting Fisherman's Rib and have never been able to make Brioche work!
Haha! Same!! I know he will settle down. And, happy to report, he's obeying the "drop" command a little better these days. Yay!
Today’s podcast was so much fun! FYI there is no need to apologize for back ground noise in your videos, it’s just part of the charm of these shows. It’s relaxing sitting with friends and talking about knitting. Loved the Yolk book!
Kim, Your "Here Comes the Sun" is gorgeous! Can't wait to see how great it will look on you. So lovely to sit and knit with you both, as always.
Thanks for another great episode of your podcast. I get so proud every time you talk about a Danish designer - it warms my Danish heart 🫶🤗
Oh, always so delightful when you have a new podcast out! So inspiring, new colors, new patterns, new books ( I am loving Just Yoking), new techniques… I just love it!

Thank you for your very enjoyable podcast and the lovely inspiring designs.

Oh, that sounds lovely!
Jonna, your version of the "2 at a time" sock is GENIUS! Omgoodness, that is definitely the version I'd do. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thank you! I just started a single sock and realized that I really prefer my TAAT sock method. I wanted to compare methods but I won't do it again!
Hallo Ladies, it is so much fun for me to watch your Podcast. And the projects on your needles are so great and an Inspiration for me. And my knitting vocabular in english gets better every Day.

This way I only have to count to 20 or so, and I can still be present for my family, TV, or whatever.
Great idea!
Thank you for great inspiration 🧶🧶🧶 Here Comes the Sun is beautiful!
Love your podcast, my, you two knit non stop….hearing all about it is a joy………
I always enjoy catching up with you both! Both of your colorwork is amazing! Thanks for the fun episode ladies!
Great episode. I’m looking forward to the “Mouche” book too. Cuteness overload for sure.
Hello Kim and Jonna. I’m so happy to have been able to sit down and get caught up with you both. Kim: I watched the episode with 5 of your grandchildren and I loved your finished socks and sweater and hat! Wonderful makes, all of them. Your video footage of the walk and visit to the farm was so much fun. That led me to this podcast which I’m loving as well. You two are so busy with all your knitting projects. Have fun with Max at the end of the month. I also watched he and Vincent today so I was aware of his forthcoming visit to NY. It was a good knitting/podcast day for me. Keep up the great shows and don’t worry about the background noise… doesn’t bother me a bit 😊
Just love,love ,love your “Here comes the sun sweater”
Thank you for sharing your knitting experiences. I love hearing about all things knitting. I am always inspired by all your beautiful projects❤
So much fun in your video today. Your knitting is wonderful and very inspiring. Thank you. 🇬🇧
Great show as always ladies! Loving all the fabulous projects. Killing it with colorwork!
Oh! That dropped stitch! I'm learning so much about colorwork from the two of you.
Beautiful sweater, Here comes the Sun 😊. Love it.
Watching your outtakes was hilarious and contagious. There was so much to love about this video. Both of you have a really good sense of what colors work together. The 'Sun' sweater and the vest are stunning.
Thanks for another super fun episode! Love Olga's designs, they are so beautiful.
How generous of 'Olga' to give you a copy of her new pattern book to give away. Love seeing what your knitting and finishing, very inspiring 😍
Love seeing the progress on your sweater Kim. It's beautiful.
Beautiful projects today! Here comes the sun is gorgeous and I love the colors you chose for the academic vest. Hope you both had a good Easter. ❤
I loved the solution to mistakes or problems with the knitting; go to sleep! I too have found it much less stressful when my brain and eyes are fresh. Lovely episode and so fun.
Fun episode Ladies😃 love the projects! I have knit one Brioche sweater. The Newspaper sweater by Joji. It took me 6 months. Every time I picked it up to work on. I would have Steven West in my head saying “not today!” He calls the yarn overs little shawls. his tutorials are hilarious. But sure helps you remember what you need to do. I learned so much knitting that sweater. Totally understand what your feeling with your vest Jonna. Kim your sweater looks amazing!
Delightful podcast once again, Ladies! Thank you too, to Olga for the gift of her books, “Only Yoking” - so generous! - Christina from SoCal!
I wash all my knits when done knitting them. I never pin block to measurements. Instead, I remove excess water, then lay flat to dry, smoothing out the fabric without stretching it. Also, I did an experiment steam blocking versus wash and dry flat blocking, and the dried measurements were slightly different.
Loving here comes the sun sweater. Gorgeous colors❤
You both are so much fun! I am always so excited to sit and knit for a new episode. Kim, your Here Comes the Sun is so pretty! Jonna, you will be so happy with that Academic; the colors are sublime. You have both inspired me to make Oslo hats for Christmas presents. I need to call Pick Up Every Stitch and order the yarn for it. I highly recommend being a Cable 3! The Zoom was so much fun.
Thank you so much about your honesty with knitting trouble. I regularly have difficulty joining in the round, so hearing Kim say to took her 20 attempts … I don’t feel like such a newbie.
🙏 for MY Teddy. He goes in for ACL surgery next Wednesday. I’ll be home with him for 5 weeks as he recovers, so I imagine I’ll have some knitting time. 🐾
Prayers for Teddy!
Kim your colourwork sweater is amazing 🎉. So enjoy knitting along with you both 🙏🏻🧶
Loved your podcast. You don’t have to apologize for the shop noise…I’m actually surprised that there isn’t more shop noise 😊. Both of your knits are inspirational!
I always enjoy your videocasts. I have learned to use markers for each section I pick up on a garment. It really helps with the counting. Your idea of dividing front and back in half is a very good idea also. I will add that to my list of ideas. Thank you.
Love the colours of Jona's vest. One helpful hint to share..if I borrow needles from one WIP for another project, I leave lightbulb stitch markers so I remember the needle size I was using.
Thanks for sharing!!
What a happy podcast! As an introvert knitter I quite identify with Jonna, although sadly none of my friends are knitters 😢😢😢 So I LOVE everything that you talk about/showcase - including giveaways!!!
I voted for the Here Comes the Sun and it’s exciting to see it’s almost finished!! Love hearing about TEDDY, I also have a Teddy(husband). As Kim would say “so funny “😊
Lovely episode, thanks for the intro, very thoughtful and it really wasn't bad at all and it makes it so real and fresh, it was a great episode from head to toe ! Lots of great inspiration and wisdom , as always. Jonna loved loved the names of your new grand daughter and that lilac will be a show stopper, can't wait to see what you knit. I am excited about LYS and I think it's the perfect day to go to Pick up every stitch for the first time :) . Thanks again for a delightful episode that brings so much joy !
We can't wait to meet you!
I love knitting sweaters so I would be very happy to have the “Only Yoking” book. I enjoy your podcasts!
Enjoyed your watching this. I'm always inspired by both of you. I like your academic vest and choice if colors. It's certainly on my lust to knit. Olga's book is awesome !
So happy to see a variety of garments and items being made, absolutely love the spot where you podcast from... so happy i found you...🎉🎉😊
My daughter lives in Austin and one day gave me twenty five minutes in Hill Country Weavers- ah I needed two days. I have knit a lot for my grandkids and one of my favorite patterns is Simon and Simona it is unisex and it grows with the child from a tunic to a top. I have knit so many check it out. Add cute accent buttons to the older sizes just adorable.
Looking it up now!
Thanks for the new podcast. It‘s so funny. I‘m from Germany and like to watch english/american Podcasts to train my english. And now you are speaking about „Willow“. I watch her podcasts too, I like her style. When I watch your podcasts it‘s like sitting with friends together, talk and knit. I had so much fun tonight! 💐
Glad you enjoy it!
You two are so inspirational. I’m always adding your patterns to my Ravelry favorites. Thank you for making these videos.
Jonna, the color work on your Academic is beautiful- it just glows!
Btw, the rule for divisibility by 4 is that if the last 2 digits are divisible by 4, then the number is.
Thanks for your fun podcast!❤
Oh goodness, thank you. It’s been awhile!
Have been enjoying your podcast for a year and you both have become my knitting buddies 😀
Loved the podcast and all of your finished projects. Your knitting (both of you) always looks impeccable and so professional. Kim, I also purchased the Here Comes the Sun pattern and yarn after seeing it here, but I chickened out of knitting it because of the three color rounds : / I'm a flicker with a totally dominant right hand. I ended up using the yarn to make the Forsythian Pullover by Jennifer Steingass. Lot's of stranded colorwork but only two at a time! I love the way it's turning out, but I'm drooling over yours...it's gorgeous!
Love catching up with your knitting adventures!!
Knitting wisdom - I’ve been knitting for so long that quite often I just do things the way I feel rather than the way the pattern says. But… a great tip - picking up stitches for armholes or neck - if you’ve accidentally picked up a few too many or a few too less ( maybe within about 10 sts) just evenly on the first round make up the correct number rather than ripping out multiple times. 💚
You both make my day seeing all your amazing knits and fun personalities! Thanks for all you do in making the world a little happier and displaying your talents!
Kim…bravo on your Here Comes The Sun. Perfect name for your happy sweater. Can’t wait to see your FO on you. 👏
Just saw the yarn for Jonna’s new granddaughter Madeline 😍😍😍 I just made (this week) two vertebrae cardigans for girl/boy twins due in June. Super simple and quick and so adorable. And the concept behind the style is perfectly sensible🤓
💜 Jonna made the vertebrae cardigan for her grandson in 2020. The rocky pants from Tin Can Knits are a perfect bottom for the vertebrae. So cute!
It's always a pleasure watching the podcast, I learn so much from you ladies. ❤
Fantastic job Kim on that amazing colorwork. You two ladies are an inspiration to me on my knitting journey. Look forward as ever to the next episode.
Love each episode! I have been extremely hesitant to try brioche but I’m inspired to try after seeing your gorgeous sweater you are working on! How beautiful. Thanks! ♥️✨
I’m a ripper! It stresses me out much more to have something sitting around not being finished or worn and if I don’t like how an item is knitting up, I would much rather have it be what I want. I love that there is such a wide range of what works for folks and personalities.
Thanks for another enjoyable podcast. You two keep me thoroughly entertained during my insomnia knitting hours. So sad for Daisy, all our cars at home have names too. I bought my 'lightly used' retirement car in the first year of the pandemic, I named her Mavis, she really seemed like a Mavis to me. I knew that Mavis hadn't been used a lot after her owner passed away shortly after buying her brand new, and she had been garaged at the daughter's place. I was clearing out the glove box and came across the original owner's name in the manual, her name was Mavis. Love all of your knits & banter
Wow! That's an amazing story!! (and so sorry about the insomnia...it's the worst)
Kim - based on your suggestion I've been watching Willow Knits auf Deutsch. I started with captions but too distracting. It's a great language immersion experience - I took German for years in school but haven't used it much since. Turns out (for me) being immersed in a topic I love and know makes it really a pleasurable - maybe even a learning experience. I am amazed how much I'm remembering. It helps that she is really a good You Tuber too. Thanks!!!
Kim, love your Here Comes the Sun sweater! It reminds me of your flower VW. Jonna, I want to make your April cardigan! Thank you both for sharing your podcast with us.
💕
Thanks for all the laughs and the knitting content is a bonus.
🤣
The 'ooooooh' I let out when I saw the Delhia sweater, it looks so lovely.
Hi Kim and Jonna, Thank you so much for another wonderful episode! I love watching your videos and your amazing projects. I’m German (from Stuttgart), and I moved to VA 7 years ago. I also like watching Willow’s knits. Looking forward to maybe seeing you in Maryland. Anja
Love the Here Comes the Sun sweater. Living vicariously through your knitting
I love the long podcast! It was such a pleasure knitting with y’all as always. 152 is definitely divisible by 4 😊
🤣
Thanks for sharing all your knitting with us!
Hi from South Africa! I've watched all your episodes, because I learn so much from you! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Out takes are always worth sticking around for!
We think so too!
Thank you for your wonderful podcast! The only yoking book looks great! BTW - the background noise is barely noticeable and part of the charm of a knitting shop😊
G'day! Another wonderful podcast. So nice to see Jonna's April Sweater again, as I am just about to start mine, which was inspired by Jonna's sweater when she first made it. The Yolk book looks amazing. Thanks for keeping me company and keeping me inspired.
Oooooh, what color?
