I really enjoy your podcast and your husband is so sweet! I’ve been in the yarn store once before when my husband and I drove through the states. I want to go back one day soon! I always look forward to spending time knitting with you!! I have the Stockholm Slipover on my needles and a Flax sweater for my close friends twin grandsons.
Leslie, I look forward to your podcasts so much! I have a tip for using your shorties. I find it a lot easier on my hands and therefore more pleasurable to knit with them when I use one long needle (right hand) and one short (left hand). Having a little more needle to grip in my working hand (I flick) is much more comfortable and less tiring. Give it a try : ) My middle daughter and son-in-law live in Belgrade, near Bozeman. The Best place to visit!!
Your podcasts are perfect!! I love that you share "What's on your needles". I travel down the rabbit hole often when looking at patterns. Love all your knitting plans , can't wait to see FO's. Thanks so much for the free pattern for golf head covers, this is going to be a gift for my husband's friend! God bless and keep on sharing❤
Great podcast! I was always wish they were longer so today my wish came true 🙃 Thank you for the Friendly pattern! You are always so generous. I really enjoy the “what we are knitting” segment. I am finishing up my Advent socks with the pattern Bear Paw by Andrea Mowry..a nice squishy DK weight :)
Thank you for your videos, Lesley! Your warmth & humour is heartwarming, thank you for sharing part of your world here! I love to have a cup of tea with my friend to knit with(!). Love all those greens from lamb & kid, so yummy! No frills (thrills!) turned out beautiful. I have two boys & a girl also so it’s lovely to hear a bit about your children & be excited to ‘look forward’. Thanks for being you! (Very funny & sweet with hubby walking in lol!) 🇦🇺🧶🥰
Awe. Thank you so much Michella! Such a sweet comment! Enjoy those babies... they grow up so fast! But it does continue to be wonderful! Happy knitting friend! ❤️
Love your vlogs. Thanks for the golf pattern. It will make great gift knitting. I also love your sharing peeps knits. So many great ideas. Please continue. Thanks
Great episode! Really ejoyed it! Also had a good laugh when your husband showed up! You two have the nicest relationship, make a really cute couple, and appear to have a lot of fun together. Awesome to see!
Another lovely podcast! I have both sets of the ChiaoGoo shorties and I love them! With the two needle lengths and various cords, you can knit any size tube. It really makes knitting sleeves a dream! Knit on, friend, knit on! 🧶❤😊
Always so much fun to sit & knit with you! Love that color on the no frills so much! Makes me want to order it! I love that your husband was so much fun busting in on us! Currently working on the Lento sweater, easy knit, big gauge big needles. Great to see you!
As always, it was a great pleasure to watch your podcast. Your no-frills cardigan looks so so great on you. However, my absolute highlight in this episode was the funny part with your extremely likeable husband. My heart rises when I see people who obviously have a lot of fun shaping their lives together. I am already looking forward to your next podcast. Hugs, Heike
Awe. Heike! 🧡 Thank you so so much for the sweet comment! My husband is such a great guy I feel extremely lucky. Happy knitting sweet friend! And hugs to you! xx
That green blanket looks luxurious! I can't believe it's 100% acrylic yarn. I like your husband, he's such a good sport. And your podcasts are never too long, it's great company while I knit.
Thanks Leslie! The longer-the better! I must be the only knitter who hasn’t knit No Frills - yet. Just knit my first Ranunculus this past Fall 😊. Currently on my needles is Woodwardia by Lydia Gluck from an old PomPom magazine. I LOVE the pretty Purl “vines” of this Raglan. Easy-Peasy knit. My yarn is a local yarn from my friend who retired her business last year, MidWest Fiber. 60Alpaca/20Merino&Shetland in Quartz. A lavender-grey with pops of natural shading. The halo is just lovely. Currently On sleeve Island! I am a 9” circ aficionado for years and have many sets. That Chia Goo set is in my future! Great podcast! ❤
Hello… I was so excited to see your podcast 🤭 the latest knit addition is so lovely. Your hubby is so cute. Thanks to CadyJax I got the Chiagoos 5”full set and shorties for my second sweater so I’ve been so lucky!! They were my first podcasters so I learned a LOT from the start. Got the red set too and loads of adaptors and connectors. It’s like Lego I can do it all now and got some short tips in larger sizes 4” but with cord adaptors I can attach a 2” tip on the other side, so sleeves 💪🏻🥰 The shorties make me consciously relax otherwise it’s a mess on my hands!! They now have a yellow shortie set (larger sizes small tip set). Tools Leslie!!! Got have them 🙊🙈🙉 Lamb & Kid orders 🤣🤣 colours are divine. Happy for a long podcast 😉🥰
Always enjoy your podcast. About sleeves. When knitting a top down sweater, I always start the neck ribbing with a 16" fixed circular. I then find that when I start the sleeves I start with the 16" circulars and I can knit a good bit of the sleeve before I have to switch over to a smaller circumference. It's so much easier on the hands. Then I use the Chiaogoo Shorties and I use a 3" tip in my right hand and a 2" in my left. It is easier that using two 2" tips, again easier on the hands. I can almost always get away with this and change the cord as needed. I think Rowan Felted Tweed or Webs Worthington (almost exactly the same composition as Felted Tweed and much less expensive) would work great for the Kumo sweater and then you don't have to carry two yarns together but get a nice halo. I made my No Frills sweater with Felted Tweed and it is glorious.
Your podcasts are NEVER too long! Love all your projects and your what's on everyone else's needles. So many great ideas. I LOVE that you have your mom's knitting stuff and that you feel her close by when using her things. ❤
Loved the sweet interruption - so cute! I, too, had a navy and green whale sweater. I don’t remember the brand but we had a local store called Weathervane that sold them. I hope you have the best time on your trip with all that luscious yarn. 💕
It was so nice to see you had a podcast uploaded, it wasn’t too long , I think it was great. Thank your for sharing your gold pattern , so generous of you again… all of your knits are always so so lovely. The what’s on your needles is a really cool idea, so enjoyable. Thanks for a fun time., have a great vacation, can’t wait until the next visit😊
Loved the podcast (wish it were even longer) and I love every single thing you knit! Your color choices are always perfection in my eyes. Thanks for the head cover pattern, too.
Your husband walking in was SO sweet! Love to watch your videos!! Thank you for your generous gift of the golf club patterns! What a perfect Father’s Day gift!💕 I’m working on the Tesoro sweater by Knitatude and the Arctic Sweater by knitting with Kika!💕
Fantastic episode Leslie. So funny...you and I binging out with the Lamb and Kid updates. Oh, I just love your colors and shrug is amazing. The Fancy with stripes is genius. Thank you for the fun and inspiration!
Next on my needles is the same sweater in a similar colour- as soon as I finish my Monday Sweater, also by Petite Knits. Thank you, Leslie, for another wonderful podcast. You are so down to earth and have such incredible taste, you are truly a joy to watch!
Hi Leslie: Love your sweaters, they look awesome! Yes, I find that raglan sweaters fit a lot better than yoke sweaters, now that I have knitted both kinds. Sharing what other viewers have on their needles is inspirational. Your hubby is the greatest! Thanks for sharing! ❤️❤️
Leslie, Just love your podcast and so happy to have found it. Must say, your No Frills Sweater (I have the pattern) is gorgeous and loved the yarn. Soooo, I ordered from Onling (had never heard of it) and it just arrived. So beautiful I can’t wait to cast on. I love good yarns and happy to learn about this one. Imitation is the sincerest form of compliment and I ordered the same colour as yours. 😂😊 Thanks, Claire
Hi never to long of a podcast for me. I enjoyed knitting the ribbing on my cuff 5” today while I watched. Always love seeing you. Sweet that your husband popped in.
Hi Leslie! I love your color choices, and all those stripes! I just birthed the Svenson sweater for my husband. It took about seven weeks and I need a few other things at the same time he loves it so it’s worth it.
I think those Boye needles were the precursor to circulars. My Mom had them too. Loving our friends' projects and your ideas. Great show! Your knits are so inspiring, you've got the fit thing down. Jealous 🤩
WOW! Thank you Dede for that information about the Boye needles! I love them and love using them so much! Super happy I didn't discard them! Happy knitting friend! x❤️
Just found you this week. And just in time. I just purchased the BEST FRIENDS BUTTERFLY BLANKET PATTERN! ❤IT!! Perfect for an upcoming baby gift!!! AND downloaded your free GOLF CLUB COVER PATTERN to make for my hubby THANK YOU. LOVE YOUR PODCAST!!
Thank you so much for the club covers. My youngest son is a huge golfer so these will make a great gift I can knit him! Such a adorable interruption :) I’m currently working on a sweater for my husband. I got the Malabrigo, Noventa yarn and struggled to find a pattern. I settled on the Zipper Sweater Man by Petite Knit.
What a fun interruption you had by your husband, you're such good sports to keep that in!!! Your Saturday Shrug will be so cozy & those neutral colors will be a classic in the wardrobe!!! I'm knitting on the Nostalgic Sweater coat by Ailbíona McLochlainn whilst I'm watching, with AC on as we're n the middle of Summer here in Australia. I'm willing the cooler weather by knitting on this jacket lol!! I do enjoy the "What our friends are working on" - it's very inspiring to see what others are doing
Lovely episode, as always! Happy to hear that “The Timepiece” cardigan is going in your queue; you’re going to love it! I’m already planning on knitting another one! Thank you for your generous pattern gift “Friendly”! I’ve printed it out, and will be making these for my son and soon to be son in law! ❤ Looking forward to your next episode 😊
Hi Leslie, Love the color of your No Frills, so soft and looked so pretty on you. Thank you for the coupon, I linked my Golf covers to your pattern now. Again many Thanks for allowing me to test them out. Really enjoyed the peak at the Montana yarn shop. Whats on my needles: I am working on my Saturday Shrug by Jackie Rose and loving it. Whats off my needles: Copper Fox Hat (& cowl), Bearly There Headbands x2 and Icelandic Sheep Hat (test)(not published yet), all by Lisa McFetridge. Happy Knitting! 🤗
Love the icy pale blue, makes me think of winter ❄️ I’m currently knitting the Dream Sweater by EweKnit in Toronto🇨🇦 Thanks for sharing, Happy Valentines Day 💌
thanks for the wonderful video! always love seeing people loving on each other - made my day. yes, please, continue with the 'what are friends knitting' segment - i tend not to knit popular items, and love seeing the less-than-popular items being showcased. speaking of which: i am knitting the Lady Sunshine Gloves by Julia Mueller. i bought this pattern and another gobsmacking pattern of hers years ago, and have just gotten around to knitting them. i will say that they are the MOST fun pattern i've ever knit, hands down, yuk, yuk. and now, ALL of her patterns are FREE on ravelry - she decided to bow out of the design world and offers all she designed free. so very cool - rush to look at her amazing patterns! also a libby - from utah - cheers! ps i went to grad school in bozeman, then, there was a knitting shop on main street that always had a kitty in the window! that cat was truly in kitty heaven -
Hi Libby! Awe! Thank you for your sweet comment! And for sharing the designer who is new to me! I will certainly share with our friends! THANK YOU! Happy happy knitting friend! xx
Love the longer podcast! I love seeing you've posted a new podcast and get sad when it's over so quickly. Lol. Loved the cameo appearance of your hubby. He seems like a lovely, fun guy. You two make a gorgeous couple. As always, love all your knits and inspiration. Your 'what's on your needles' segment is great. Oh, and thanks so much for the 'Friendly' pattern! I'm going to make some for my soon to be son-in-law for his birthday soon! xxx
I so enjoy your videos and you’ve inspired me to add so many new projects to my list. I am a new empty nester as well and have a son in Bozeman too! At MSU) Thanks for sharing so many great ideas, it really does sort of feel like a kind of friendship through your videos. 😊
Awe! I hope you are enjoying your empty nest. It does get easier. And it seems that they always come home. ☺️ Love Bozeman! My son is leaving this summer to attend graduate school. I’ll be driving back with him in July. It will be my last time to Styx for a while. You will have to keep up the dinners at blackbird and yarn purchases! ☺️😍
Oh my goodness!!! NAVY & GREEN! Me too❤❤ I had the whales and the turtles oh how I love that particular preppy look! I am currently knitting the Unwind Shawl by Tracie Miller with a very preppy navy and green stripe sequence 😂 The burning question is did you have the wooden handle pocket book with the reversible cloth cover???
Thank you for the pattern. This is just the knit I was looking for for my daughter's knit worthy boyfriend. Your podcast could never be too long, and I enjoy it immensely!
Hi Leslie 😃👏🏼🥰 ty for the golf club covers pattern and how lovely to visit family in Bozeman 😃…. Worked at glacier national park in my youth and just love that beautiful state 🤩… I live in Connecticut just down the road from your knitting friend Kim 😃👏🏼🥰
What a great way to start my Sunday. I'm having VKL FOMO, and you've helped me feel much happier! I love the sharing of patterns, and can Strongly suggest another cardigan. The Cruiser, by by Kristen Finlay. I selected Emma's Yarn in the Spectacular line. It's a fabulous combo, and this cardigan is my all time favorite. PS- Don't ever apologize for going too long. It's not possible!
Another great podcast Leslie. Love the yarn store that you took us through. You must visit your son Andrew more often now, plus the surprise at the end. I thought it was nice seeing a different episode with your hubby arriving home happy to see you. Have a great Valentine's Day
What a fun episode. I love the color of your No Frills. I haven't knitted that yet but it's been on my radar. I think you do such a good job with knitting things that work with your wardrobe/color preferences which I'm still trying to cultivate. I prefer to wear neutrals but the colors are so fun to knit with. Thank you for your Friendly pattern ( a gift for my son is done) Have a great week.
Oh Sharon! I hear ya friend! It has taken me so long to figure this knitting/wearing thing down! I love love love all the bright colors. But every time I am reminded to ask myself "will you wear this color"?! It helps. But not all the time! hahahah. Happy knitting, friend! xx
Another great episode! Your No Frills sweater is so beautiful. All the pattern suggestions were wonderful. The cameo appearance from your husband was adorable. What a cute couple you are!
Definitely adding the No Frills Sweater to my queue. I love seeing what inspires different knitters. Lately I have been drawn to neutral colors and simpler styles because those are the ones I tend to reach for. Thanks for the enjoyable podcast.
I just finished my Fancy and had just finished blocking it when I sat down to watch your podcast - love the colors you are using! I love big birdie and got caught up in a couple of Lamb and Kid too and laughed because I thought the same thing "there's Michelle from Cape Cod ordering again!" I am going to start another in peanut and pop rocks but tonight I am going to cast on the Home Sweater V-Neck by Cadree in Purl soho cashmere merino bloom with mohair
YAY! I can't wait to see your Fancy! Mine is finished and I am in love. OOOOOH! Cape Cod colors!!! Camel and pink! PURE perfection! Happy knitting friend! xx
I love seeing what others are making, it definitely gives me inspiration and ideas. I really like both of your future (well... at the time they were. Maybe you've already made them!) projects, especially that cardigan - it's lovely! I'll check out the pattern, too. Thanks, Leslie.
Aww love your podcasts Leslie, it’s so nice to find obsessed knitters ❤ and loved the Huzbee interruption 😂 I’m currently finishing up a Louvre sweater and next on my radar is the Oslo sweater for myself and knitting my mama a Coloured Crosses sweater by Anne Ventzel in some really bright colors that she picked out which will be fun to knit! I need to jump on the baby blanket train, #4 is due for me in June 😅
The hubs is adorbs! I decided to try the chaigoo 9 inch needles. There is a learning curve for using them but once hooked you will want all three sets.
Hi Leslie, I so enjoy your vlogs. I’m almost finished my no frills sweater and I really appreciated the tip you gave about going down two needle sizes for the cuffs. I wonder why I haven’t thought of that! I would love for you to compile your knitting tips in a vlog sometime, or give “tip of the day” during your vlogs. Have a lovely trip next week. Love from Calgary.
Loved this podcast once again! You are fun and the hubby break was endearing! My brother lives in Bozeman and I can’t wait to get the chance to visit and visit Stix!! I think I have to order that needle set! I downloaded the golf head covers - thank you! Love the No Frills color- hmmmm thanks Leslie!
Awe. Thank you sweet Louise! I can't wait for you to get to Bozeman to see your brother and visit Stix! You are going to love that shop! It's amazing! Happy knitting, friend! xx
Loved seeing the video about Styx. I was there probably the week before you, my grandson was married in Helena and we flew in and out of Bozeman. I too had to but “Montana “ yarn. Great store.😊
I had to actually stop the podcast to send you this comment... I absolutely look forward to each and every episode you upload! You are without a doubt my favorite podcast to watch because it truly is like having a friend to knit with. It just warmed my heart to see the genuine fun and love that you and your husband share and it made me giggle... just had to stop and tell you 😊
I loved this podcast as well, very informative and also funny 😅 :) I would love to work the Florarium sweater by Teti's knit garden but it's a little to hot for knitting sweaters so I will come back to it in September ... So at the moment I'm knitting the Spring Peak summer top, a free pattern from drops
I so enjoy your podcast and love the tips you have given in the past. I am currently working on the Wisp Raglan by Tif Neilan which will be my first colorwork ever!! Using Savannah from The Fibre Company - a wool, linen, cotton blend which should work out for my locale in Phoenix.
Oh my gosh, Leslie, I think this is your best episode yet! I loved everything you included, but a special mention must go to the charming "interruption" when your husband came home - how sweet are you two? (PS - Love a longer episode!) xo
Thanks Leslie! Love the preppy plans. Takes me back 😂 Fun peek at Stiks, too. I’m knitting Nordiska - Caitlin Hunter design with Flying Fibers Flock yarn - Shetland DK local to me in eastern PA. Love, love it! The pattern needed some minor mods to fit my interests in raglan stitching - I’m using MR & ML instead of Kfb. Many knitters commented on this on Ravelry. I’m also planning open cuffs as Inga/Knitting Traditions
I absolutely love my ChiaoGoo shorties! They have to be the best investment I’ve made in a very long time. They make sleeve sock and fingerless mitt knitting fly and no more worries about laddering (which I struggle with)
You have such a sweet hubby. I am workin on a pair of socks with my western sky knits yarn that I got on my trip to stix. It was so hard to choose a color from all the beautiful choices
Great podcast - enjoyed the hubby visit. And, thanks for the timely nudge of encouragement with the No Frills Sweater endorsement I was trying to decide between that one and another raglan pattern.
Loved the “commercial” break with your husband, Leslie! So sweet! Thanks for all the knitting inspiration. ❤
Awe! Thank you so much Deidre! xx
I really enjoy your podcast and your husband is so sweet! I’ve been in the yarn store once before when my husband and I drove through the states. I want to go back one day soon! I always look forward to spending time knitting with you!!
I have the Stockholm Slipover on my needles and a Flax sweater for my close friends twin grandsons.

Very excited Leslie to see Albina get a mention. It was lovely to see you "glow" when your husband appeared lol.
Awe. Thank you Heather! LOVE Albina! 😍❤️
Your hubby is such a sweetie.
☺️ He makes me laugh daily! 😍
Hi Leslie! I love your color choices, and all those stripes! I just birthed the Svenson sweater for my husband. It took about seven weeks and I need a few other things at the same time he loves it so it’s worth it.
Navy and green. Such a fabulous colour combination. 🤩 loved the longer episode. And thanks for taking us to the beautiful yarn shop. ❤

Just found you this week. And just in time. I just purchased the BEST FRIENDS BUTTERFLY BLANKET PATTERN! ❤IT!! Perfect for an upcoming baby gift!!! AND downloaded your free GOLF CLUB COVER PATTERN to make for my hubby THANK YOU. LOVE YOUR PODCAST!!
Yay! Thanks for watching Linda! And for such sweet words. Enjoy knitting! I'll be casting on for a Best Friend Butterfly Blanket tomorrow! 😍🤩
Thank you so much for the club covers. My youngest son is a huge golfer so these will make a great gift I can knit him!
Such a adorable interruption :)
I’m currently working on a sweater for my husband. I got the Malabrigo, Noventa yarn and struggled to find a pattern. I settled on the Zipper Sweater Man by Petite Knit.
What a fun interruption you had by your husband, you're such good sports to keep that in!!! Your Saturday Shrug will be so cozy & those neutral colors will be a classic in the wardrobe!!! I'm knitting on the Nostalgic Sweater coat by Ailbíona McLochlainn whilst I'm watching, with AC on as we're n the middle of Summer here in Australia. I'm willing the cooler weather by knitting on this jacket lol!! I do enjoy the "What our friends are working on" - it's very inspiring to see what others are doing
Awe. Thank you Julie for your sweet words! Our weather will be flipped very soon and then I will be willing cooler temps! ☺️ Happy Knitting friend! xx
Lovely episode, as always! Happy to hear that “The Timepiece” cardigan is going in your queue; you’re going to love it! I’m already planning on knitting another one! Thank you for your generous pattern gift “Friendly”! I’ve printed it out, and will be making these for my son and soon to be son in law! ❤ Looking forward to your next episode 😊
Hi Leslie, Love the color of your No Frills, so soft and looked so pretty on you. Thank you for the coupon, I linked my Golf covers to your pattern now. Again many Thanks for allowing me to test them out. Really enjoyed the peak at the Montana yarn shop. Whats on my needles: I am working on my Saturday Shrug by Jackie Rose and loving it. Whats off my needles: Copper Fox Hat (& cowl), Bearly There Headbands x2 and Icelandic Sheep Hat (test)(not published yet), all by Lisa McFetridge. Happy Knitting! 🤗
Hi Sue! YAY! You have been cranking things out! Can't wait to look up the Copper Fox Hat! Happy knitting friend! xx💜
Love the icy pale blue, makes me think of winter ❄️ I’m currently knitting the Dream Sweater by EweKnit in Toronto🇨🇦 Thanks for sharing, Happy Valentines Day 💌
Awe. Thank you friend! And thank you for sharing "what's on your needles"! I'll be sure to share with our friends! Happy knitting! 💜
I just adore you!!!!😊
AWE! Thank you sweet Lynne! Happy knitting friend! xx
thanks for the wonderful video! always love seeing people loving on each other - made my day. yes, please, continue with the 'what are friends knitting' segment - i tend not to knit popular items, and love seeing the less-than-popular items being showcased. speaking of which: i am knitting the Lady Sunshine Gloves by Julia Mueller. i bought this pattern and another gobsmacking pattern of hers years ago, and have just gotten around to knitting them. i will say that they are the MOST fun pattern i've ever knit, hands down, yuk, yuk. and now, ALL of her patterns are FREE on ravelry - she decided to bow out of the design world and offers all she designed free. so very cool - rush to look at her amazing patterns! also a libby - from utah - cheers! ps i went to grad school in bozeman, then, there was a knitting shop on main street that always had a kitty in the window! that cat was truly in kitty heaven -
Hi Libby! Awe! Thank you for your sweet comment! And for sharing the designer who is new to me! I will certainly share with our friends! THANK YOU! Happy happy knitting friend! xx
No frills sweater looks great and colour choice is perfect for you.
Thank you Patricia! 💜
Love the sharing what other knitters have on their needles. Thanks
Thanks Bev! I'll be sure to share more! xx
Love the longer podcast! I love seeing you've posted a new podcast and get sad when it's over so quickly. Lol. Loved the cameo appearance of your hubby. He seems like a lovely, fun guy. You two make a gorgeous couple. As always, love all your knits and inspiration. Your 'what's on your needles' segment is great. Oh, and thanks so much for the 'Friendly' pattern! I'm going to make some for my soon to be son-in-law for his birthday soon! xxx
I so enjoy your videos and you’ve inspired me to add so many new projects to my list. I am a new empty nester as well and have a son in Bozeman too! At MSU) Thanks for sharing so many great ideas, it really does sort of feel like a kind of friendship through your videos. 😊
Awe! I hope you are enjoying your empty nest. It does get easier. And it seems that they always come home. ☺️ Love Bozeman! My son is leaving this summer to attend graduate school. I’ll be driving back with him in July. It will be my last time to Styx for a while. You will have to keep up the dinners at blackbird and yarn purchases! ☺️😍
Oh my goodness!!! NAVY & GREEN! Me too❤❤ I had the whales and the turtles oh how I love that particular preppy look! I am currently knitting the Unwind Shawl by Tracie Miller with a very preppy navy and green stripe sequence 😂
The burning question is did you have the wooden handle pocket book with the reversible cloth cover???
You and your hubby are adorable! Loved the longer podcast and thanks so much for the golf club cover pattern!
Thank you for the pattern. This is just the knit I was looking for for my daughter's knit worthy boyfriend. Your podcast could never be too long, and I enjoy it immensely!
Headcovers for the boyfriend! SO great! Happy knitting friend! and thank you for the sweet SWEET words! xx
Hi Leslie 😃👏🏼🥰 ty for the golf club covers pattern and how lovely to visit family in Bozeman 😃…. Worked at glacier national park in my youth and just love that beautiful state 🤩… I live in Connecticut just down the road from your knitting friend Kim 😃👏🏼🥰
Awe! Hi Judy!!! I LOVE kim! ☺️🤩😍 ❤️
What a great way to start my Sunday. I'm having VKL FOMO, and you've helped me feel much happier! I love the sharing of patterns, and can Strongly suggest another cardigan. The Cruiser, by by Kristen Finlay. I selected Emma's Yarn in the Spectacular line. It's a fabulous combo, and this cardigan is my all time favorite.
PS- Don't ever apologize for going too long. It's not possible!
Another great podcast Leslie. Love the yarn store that you took us through. You must visit your son Andrew more often now, plus the surprise at the end. I thought it was nice seeing a different episode with your hubby arriving home happy to see you. Have a great Valentine's Day
Awe. Thank you Diane! ❤️ You are so right I need to get to Bozeman more often! 🤩 Happy knitting friend!
Great video! Podcast is lovely! great sweater and beautiful yarn!
Very sweet of you! Thanks for watching friend!❤️
What a fun episode. I love the color of your No Frills. I haven't knitted that yet but it's been on my radar. I think you do such a good job with knitting things that work with your wardrobe/color preferences which I'm still trying to cultivate. I prefer to wear neutrals but the colors are so fun to knit with. Thank you for your Friendly pattern ( a gift for my son is done) Have a great week.
Oh Sharon! I hear ya friend! It has taken me so long to figure this knitting/wearing thing down! I love love love all the bright colors. But every time I am reminded to ask myself "will you wear this color"?! It helps. But not all the time! hahahah. Happy knitting, friend! xx
Another great episode! Your No Frills sweater is so beautiful. All the pattern suggestions were wonderful. The cameo appearance from your husband was adorable. What a cute couple you are!
Awe! Thank you sweet Cat! 🤩🤩🤩
Definitely adding the No Frills Sweater to my queue. I love seeing what inspires different knitters. Lately I have been drawn to neutral colors and simpler styles because those are the ones I tend to reach for. Thanks for the enjoyable podcast.
I always love watching your episodes! It really is fun to see other knitter’s projects, too 😊
Awe. Thank you so much Diane! Happy Knitting friend! xx
I just finished my Fancy and had just finished blocking it when I sat down to watch your podcast - love the colors you are using! I love big birdie and got caught up in a couple of Lamb and Kid too and laughed because I thought the same thing "there's Michelle from Cape Cod ordering again!" I am going to start another in peanut and pop rocks but tonight I am going to cast on the Home Sweater V-Neck by Cadree in Purl soho cashmere merino bloom with mohair
YAY! I can't wait to see your Fancy! Mine is finished and I am in love. OOOOOH! Cape Cod colors!!! Camel and pink! PURE perfection! Happy knitting friend! xx
I love seeing what others are making, it definitely gives me inspiration and ideas. I really like both of your future (well... at the time they were. Maybe you've already made them!) projects, especially that cardigan - it's lovely! I'll check out the pattern, too. Thanks, Leslie.
Oh yay! I need to do another video of what our friends are making! It inspires me too! Happy knitting Noelle! xx
@@LeslieFriend today I completed my second Friend to Friend shrug. It's a great pattern and very useful piece. Thanks again!
Aww love your podcasts Leslie, it’s so nice to find obsessed knitters ❤ and loved the Huzbee interruption 😂 I’m currently finishing up a Louvre sweater and next on my radar is the Oslo sweater for myself and knitting my mama a Coloured Crosses sweater by Anne Ventzel in some really bright colors that she picked out which will be fun to knit! I need to jump on the baby blanket train, #4 is due for me in June 😅
YOU, mama, have got it all going on! I love your knits! And I am so excited for June! 😍 Congratulations! xx
I am a newer knitter and want to make a beginner project and I think this is a great one
The hubs is adorbs! I decided to try the chaigoo 9 inch needles. There is a learning curve for using them but once hooked you will want all three sets.
Always enjoy your podcasts and love all the things you knit! Can’t wait to see your Saturday shrugs. Ahh your sweet husband - I can’t even!
Hahhhhaaa. My husband truly makes me laugh every day! Thank you for your sweet words friend! xx
Hi Leslie, I so enjoy your vlogs. I’m almost finished my no frills sweater and I really appreciated the tip you gave about going down two needle sizes for the cuffs. I wonder why I haven’t thought of that! I would love for you to compile your knitting tips in a vlog sometime, or give “tip of the day” during your vlogs. Have a lovely trip next week. Love from Calgary.
Loved this podcast once again! You are fun and the hubby break was endearing! My brother lives in Bozeman and I can’t wait to get the chance to visit and visit Stix!! I think I have to order that needle set! I downloaded the golf head covers - thank you! Love the No Frills color- hmmmm thanks Leslie!
Awe. Thank you sweet Louise! I can't wait for you to get to Bozeman to see your brother and visit Stix! You are going to love that shop! It's amazing! Happy knitting, friend! xx
loved the powder blue sweater looks so comfy an nice on you kind regards from UK .
Thank you Tarah! xx
Loved seeing the video about Styx. I was there probably the week before you, my grandson was married in Helena and we flew in and out of Bozeman. I too had to but “Montana “ yarn. Great store.😊
Oh darn! We missed each other by a week! Truly a GREAT yarn store. And I loved the owners! Happy knitting friend!
I had to actually stop the podcast to send you this comment... I absolutely look forward to each and every episode you upload! You are without a doubt my favorite podcast to watch because it truly is like having a friend to knit with. It just warmed my heart to see the genuine fun and love that you and your husband share and it made me giggle... just had to stop and tell you 😊
Oh Wendy! You made my heart grow! Thank you for the sweetest words ever. Happy knitting, friend! xx❤️
Oh how funny, I was shopping at the same yarn store in Bozeman, during the same time Yellowstone was filmed,
How fun!!!
I loved this podcast as well, very informative and also funny 😅 :)
I would love to work the Florarium sweater by Teti's knit garden but it's a little to hot for knitting sweaters so I will come back to it in September ... So at the moment I'm knitting the Spring Peak summer top, a free pattern from drops
I so enjoy your podcast and love the tips you have given in the past. I am currently working on the Wisp Raglan by Tif Neilan which will be my first colorwork ever!! Using Savannah from The Fibre Company - a wool, linen, cotton blend which should work out for my locale in Phoenix.
Oh my gosh, Leslie, I think this is your best episode yet! I loved everything you included, but a special mention must go to the charming "interruption" when your husband came home - how sweet are you two? (PS - Love a longer episode!) xo
Love idea of sharing patterns. Great episode. Tea time looks like wonderful cardigan addition.
Thank you Patrica! I'll be sure to share more! xx
Thanks Leslie! Love the preppy plans. Takes me back 😂 Fun peek at Stiks, too. I’m knitting Nordiska - Caitlin Hunter design with Flying Fibers Flock yarn - Shetland DK local to me in eastern PA. Love, love it! The pattern needed some minor mods to fit my interests in raglan stitching - I’m using MR & ML instead of Kfb. Many knitters commented on this on Ravelry. I’m also planning open cuffs as Inga/Knitting Traditions
Oooooh! Your mods sound perfect Julie! And hello from western PA!! 🤩 ❤️
I absolutely love my ChiaoGoo shorties! They have to be the best investment I’ve made in a very long time. They make sleeve sock and fingerless mitt knitting fly and no more worries about laddering (which I struggle with)
thanks so much you make my day wish i could afford the neat yarn you use
😍 oh there are so many great yarns out there! And I love them all! 😍🥰
Loved your podcast, and oh my gosh, the yarn shop at the end is amazing!
Yes! If you ever get to Bozeman you will be so happy you did! 🤩😍 Happy knitting Joanne! xx
You have such a sweet hubby. I am workin on a pair of socks with my western sky knits yarn that I got on my trip to stix. It was so hard to choose a color from all the beautiful choices
Ohhhhh those are going to be wonderful socks out of that yarn! A true gem of a yarn! Happy knitting friend! xx
That color is gorgeous.
Thank you Theresa! xx
I'm watching you while I knit - 2 of my favorite things!!
SO sweet Maureen! Thank you for letting me knit with you! 💜
Beautiful episode as always Leslie and loved seeing your husband again too!!
Awe. Thank you so much Rebecca! Happy Knitting friend! xx
team raglan all the way, that baby blue is heavenly
Whoooot Whooooot! 😍😍😍 And I agree... that color! 💙💙💙
Always enjoy everything you include! Thank you.
Thank you Patti! xx
iI've been to Webs twice and did some damage both times!!! You definitely have to go with a plan!
Those Boye needles with the stop at one end were called jumper needles. I have one pair that were my mother’s, size 8.
THANK YOU! I love that! A Jumper needle! They are a treasure! xx
Enjoyed your vlog today- enjoy your trip
Thank you Deb! xx
Great podcast - enjoyed the hubby visit. And, thanks for the timely nudge of encouragement with the No Frills Sweater endorsement I was trying to decide between that one and another raglan pattern.
It truly is a simple raglan with a great fit! Thanks for stopping by Judith! 🧡
