    Thank you so much for using your voice and platform to discuss the overturning of Roe. As a pediatrician/internal medicine physician and new mother I am horrified and outraged about what is happening. The women in our history fought for us and now it is our turn to fight like hell! Also holy cow Jackie - so glad you are okay!

      So excited y'all are going to Rhinebeck this year! I have always wanted to go but don't really have a lot of knitting friends in real life so for now will just have to dream and live vicariously through you!

    Thank you for your powerful words, and (as always) for all the inspiration. I’m feeling full of rage, too, and spending time with you here has brought some peace to my day. Jackie, I’m so happy to see you well again, and congratulations on four years! Looking forward to seeing you again in Rhinebeck! Love to you both. Xoxo

    I have had a best friend for over 60 years. We ended up being family. We were both so different but were very lucky like you two to find each other. It is wonderful you make the effort to get together. My best friend and I grew up together and ended up 2,000 miles apart only seeing each other once a year but talking for hours on the phone. She died one month ago and I am heartbroken but so thankful for our wonderful relationship for all these years. Hold on to each other tight.
    Very generous give away. I like the tool to fix mistakes. Love you two ladies!

    • @Cadyjaxknits

    Love you ladies 😍 I’m with you 100%. I’m a nurse , a mom of 3 and Grammy of 4 and the resent decision makes me so sad for my daughters and granddaughter but so grateful to live in the northeast USA. As a healthcare practitioner I understand the need for safe access to All healthcare. Keep up the great words- Jackie- I’m getting to love your poetry moments🥰

    Beautiful podcast as always, ladies. Thank you for being brave and speaking truth as women. I’m glad you’re sharing this important message in addition to the joy you also bring. You (each/both/we/us/all) have such power within us. To green, poems, yarn, creating and hope. *clink

    This is the first time I have watched your podcast. I am so impressed with how you approached the Roe v Wade decision. You are brave, honest, and forthright in expressing your support of women's rights to make decisions for their own bodies. I would not want to force my opinions about my actions on anyone else, but they have no right to make decisions for me either.

    Thank you ladies, you made me tear up at the end when you spoke about your friendship and thankful for your patrons too. I have been in the shadows watching your podcast from the beginning of 2022. And making my way to the current episodes. I can’t wait! Anyway, I am happy to have found you too. Thank you to Sandra of BytheLakeside for introducing you. I won’t be like Simone writing after each episode. 😊 but you have been such good company. Thank you

    So thankful for your humanity, poems, and knitting, of course. I love seeing your friendship too as I'm separated by an ocean from my best friend of over 38 years, but apps keep us talking almost daily to only another and occasional visits. My favorite tool is the stich fixer for those nasty long snags. Thank you for being you and for the podcast!

    @edytheneumann4656 2 года назад

    Again thank you both! For sharing your making journey and more. Gorgeous pieces you've been working on - so inspiring. Thank you too for speaking out against the travesty of justice we're witnessing from Canada and feeling our vulnerability when it comes to patriarchal systems that continue. So thankful you're recovering, Jackie, take good care.

    One of my best friends and I, OMG We are 74, and we’ve been friends since since we were 18 years old. We both knew how to knit Wayback then, But neither of us did it while we were in school. Now she exclusively knits socks and I knit whatever but nothing for myself. We both feel very lucky to have each other and to understand deep down inside what it means to have a best friend. Thank you for sharing your friendship. I feel like our friendships are like a trip down the Colorado river. Somethings never to be seen again, but the memories remain. Unfortunately so do some of the pictures! Thank you for being you, real women. Love you Knits, always an inspiration to me. Your four year anniversary is so special and your giveaway is lovely thank you to Purl Soho. I always need a tape measure - I use it constantly & it is something that I can never lay my hands on no matter how many I have. Happy summer. Carmen

    Jackie! So glad you contacted Simone and went to the ER! Feel the same about the recent Supreme Court rulings...just devastating. My 14-year old had a bake sale with a friend and donated some of the proceeds to Planned Parenthood and we just have to keep donating, voting etc. Love Caitlin's Akemi and the Clara cardigan is gorgeous. I'm working on a Wavy Gravy!

    @janetgoier23 2 года назад +4

    I have been a viewer since your very first episode and have always loved your podcasts, but your bravery in speaking out against this reprehensible SC decision has increased my admiration of you two a thousandfold. ❣️ Although I am well beyond the age of childbearing, I have four daughters (and a son❣️), and three granddaughters (and three grandsons) whose lives could be dramatically impacted by this incredibly horrific decision, not to mention all of the ramifications that have never occurred to people that can come of this. Thank you for speaking out. And, of course, the knitting is so inspirational, as usual. ❣️Jackie, so glad you were directed to rush to the hospital. I am like you in that I never would have done that without prodding. Caitlin, how nice that you are visiting Wisconsin again. ❣️Safe travels home. 😀 OMG, Caitlin, what a trip you took to the Grand Canyon!!!! Extra brave. 👍

    I’m just amazed and cannot believe that I have admired both of you so very much and I just discovered your podcast. I am a “baby” podcaster myself, I just started my podcast, but I mentioned you both on my podcast which will be published tomorrow because I loooove watching you … I love listening to you both.
    You are both so beautiful and joyful. Thank you for the beautiful Saturday shrug. I have made so many and will continue to make more.
    I so appreciate you sharing your opinion in such a difficult subject. It’s wonderful to seek joy, but also so important to acknowledge the heaviness that also exist out there. Thank you so much for the joy, the passion and the poetry that keeps us going and for bringing to life subjects that are so important to us women.
    Im, like Simone, going back to podcast 1 to watch all of them. ❤❤

    Action speaks louder than words. Glad you (J) are feeling better.. Knit on.

      a cliché at best - of course one must digest, and reflect, and find their ground-their words-too. One must know their truth to act upon on it. appreciate your well wishes and hope your knitting is bringing you comfort and joy too.
