It so good to see your podcast. I love your styles and suggestions and shop updates!❤️🇨🇦
You are so enjoyable to listen to. Loved your tennis shawl. Would possibly enjoy being one of your test knitters.
I would soooo knit the Steph shawl for my sister-in-law who got to meet Roger Federer last month at her son’s graduation! She is a big tennis fan and she would love it. I see it in navy blue with white as the CC too.
You are one of my favourite podcasts. Always interesting and inspiring. I am looking forward to the crescent shawl pattern as after years of shawl knitting I am finding crescent the most wearable shape for me on our everyday winter walks. The striped edging adds a great touch.
Awesome - it looks like we have a few testers so it will get released soon!
I don’t know if I say it every time I get to visit you in Montreal (and I will from now on!) but your podcast is always so interesting, informative, and fun. Thank you for keeping with it!
As for the paid pattern model, I completely support your choice to do that.
You have one of the absolute best yarn shops I’ve been to (I have obsessively visited many throughout Canada, the US, the UK, Europe, and Australia). This isn’t *only* because of the truly excellent, friendly and helpful staff at ET and your excellent choices in what to stock, although those are certainly a big part of it. What I have also appreciated from day one is your steady supply of new store samples and projects. You don’t just have a few tired old baby blankets, hats, and tiny swatches lying about (which so many shops still seem to do.) You all put so much effort into finding what’s new, interesting, and different, and then making a sample or two so people can truly visualize it in yarns that you carry. And then, on top of all that, you make a great podcast with really excellent notes included, so that we can benefit from all this work, even from afar.
Thank you for all this. I’m delighted to be able to support you!
This is such wonderful feedback, thank you SO much! Sometimes we look around and think, how many store samples is too many? 😱 But we really enjoy finding new designers, and putting our yarns to the true test by knitting with them regularly. And even the oldest samples still have value as new customers come in who have never seen them before and are inspired. (Which is why we have bins and bins of them and rarely let them go!)
The Espace Tricot podcast is the very best. You are the best educators with detail in every aspect of each garment. I appreciate your thoroughness. Carrie Whyte, MA, USA
Thank you - so appreciate hearing this!
Thank you for another inspiring video - and for being there as a business to support knitters and crafters ❤
thank you 🥰
You guys have such a great channel and an amazing shop. You are on my list of shops I have to visit. Happy knitting 💚🧶💚
Yes, come see us! The store samples alone are worth the trip ; )
I watch/listen to A LOT of knitting podcasts, and you’re in my top five! Love hearing about your projects as well as goodies available in the store. Also, I too rescue vintage sweaters from thrift stores (my latest is a traditional Aran cardigan that someone obviously tossed in the washer and felted. 😢 But good news-it’s now a cropped cardigan with 3/4-length sleeves that looks great w/ high-waisted jeans.)Yes, I would love the special episode on changes in the fashion world and the subsequent impacts on the secondhand market.
Thank you for this - and for the +1 on a special episode, I think we'd have a lot of fun making it too!
Always love watching to see your projects! Such inspiration! More please!
Hello Stephanie and Naomi! It was so nice chatting with you at Knit City in Toronto. Can I say this episode is sooooo inspiring? I’ve been thinking recently about embroidering on some rtw sweaters and shawls that I have in my wardrobe and even bought the recent embroidery book for knits and perhaps this is the boost I need to kickstart the projects….so beautiful what you have done. I also want to commend you for your recent shift in your pattern library. You explained your reason for change so well and clearly you still have your patrons at heart for wanting to provide them with your beautiful patterns. Well done ladies, your values and enthusiasm is a gift in our yarny community. 👏 👏 💜
Thank you so much for the support, it means a lot to us. We had a great time at Knit City Toronto, and smart and thoughtful conversations we had with other knitters like you were the highlight.
This was a great episode - fascinating to hear about adopting sweaters and making them your own. And I totally support charging for patterns - as they are free with yarn purchase totally makes sense.
Thanks for the support - it means a lot!
Excellent podcast as usual ! Informative and inspiring. 😄😄
the embroidery on the Irish knit cardigan is incredible and very inspiring. It is going to be a total work of art. Great idea for a KAL!! Love the kit. The "tennis core" shawl is amazing. It is nothing like any of the newly published shawls. In my fantasy I actually play tennis, lunch at the club, have sunset cocktails on the sailboat after a sunny day at sea!!! When you publish I'm going to knit it for my pickleball playing daughter-in-law.
Such an interesting, inspiring and informative podcast, ladies. KnitPurlHunter is such a great teacher…thanks for putting her booklets on my radar!
I'm obviously very into both Steph's Dale of Norway vibes as well as the colorwork collection in progress! Can't wait to see what you're cooking up ❤
Awesome episode!!!! I love that your rescue sweaters during your thifting, that you make your knits yours by adding custom applications to them. All of the FOs are gorg and sooooo adore what and how your sharing about your makes, designs and yarn. Thank you!!!
Crossover episode, thrifting in Toronto and Montreal ???
It made my day to run into you two at Knit City Toronto, Steph you commented on my nightshift shawl as you passed and I just about fell over- you were both so lovely to see in person! Another great episode!
Steph, I'm not typically a shawl knitter -- but I love the design of the Mirka shawl (and I think that's a fantastic name for it). I hope you continue with it and write it up as a pattern.
When I saw your Dale of Norway sweater, I first thought it was a Drops pattern. They have many Norwegian designs that would definitely still be knit-worthy. I have been eyeing a few of these for some time now. Kudos for saving a perfectly fine sweater. As hand knitters, I think it's perfectly OK to fix a sweater, even if it is machine made.
So glad to see another episode, it’s always a pleasure to see and hear what you work on and ideas, you are really so experienced.
Love your new shawl in white and blue, stunning 😊
love love love the look of the sporty tennis shawl! I would knit it
Everything you showed and talked about is so beautiful! Thanks for it all!
So enjoyed your podcast today and the beautiful fo's and wips you girls have going. Its always nice to see different projects but also different yarns. I love Toronto I live in michigan but haven't been there in awhile. So keep the podcast coming. 😊
Thank you for this episode! Hope to see you again soon...❤❤❤
great episode, again. thank you
greetings from 🇨🇭
Hello! I also try to rescue vintage knitwear and yarns from thrift stores. I also have two Dale of Norway sweaters and the matching pattern in the Thunder Bay pattern (being from TBay and having skied at the site of the games, the sweaters hold a special meaning for me)
Amazing! I am not a good enough skiier for Olympic runs, but I would happily Apres Ski in a Dale ; )
Those sweaters are svestasdal sweaters. If you watch Arne and Carlos they explain the history of those sweaters and the embroidery
I too have just started a spinning journey. I bought the Ashford Kiwi 3. It is a nice size and does fold up a bit for easy storage. We camp some so I thought this was a good one for me. I have not had a chance to spin yet. I think I want to take a class. I feel like it is a natural progress for a knitter. I am intrigued by “art yarn” which I find a bit pricey. So I want to make my own. I also have a dream of spinning some beautiful natural colored wool and knitting it into a cable sweater. But… I need to get some experience first.
Happy knitting and spinning Jennifer! Thanks for your podcast and the happiness you share with all of us💕
Oh my gosh I love love love the white and blue Shaw! I so want to make this! Can’t wait for the pattern! Never tested before but this is tempting.
I (Steph) will send emails out early this week with the pattern and get an email thread going for the test!
The shawl is absolutely gorgeous! At last a simple and sporty style of a shawl! Congratulations! I am not sure if I would be able to get the yarn you were speaking about in Poland so it would be great if you proposed some substitutions.
we'll have a think about substitutions and chat about that on the next podcast! thank you!
@@EspaceTricotPodcast Great! Can't wait!
Embroidery on sweater makes the sweater so special. Hope to try some embroidery.
I've knit 2 Calliope sweaters. For the second one, I did a twisted stitch for alternate ribbing knit sections, both at the neckline and on the sleeves. Also went to a smaller needle for the last 1.5" of the sleeve ribbing for a better fit, especially for our daughter, a librarian, who is handling books all day. Next step willbe for her to embroider on my knitwear. We can share our skills sets that way....should be fun.
Loved the shawl looks great on. Embroidered sweater is very sweet looking . Thank you. Of course Marie Wallin Aran pattern.
Love the shawl! Look forward to the pattern.
Love the Steph shawl ❤ haven’t done cables so wouldn’t be any help test knitting but will be very tempted.
I love the podcast ladies you are very talented!🧶
Funny how as soon as you knit a sweater you see it everywhere...I just finished a Similar all over cable sweater called Fiadh by Marie Greene using Soft Spun by Briggs and little. 5doodles on Ravelry. Overwhelming at first I was giving myself till xmas to finish but it was so much fun to work on , I finished it in a month and a half. 🥰🇨🇦Sharon.
I WOULD TEST THAT FOR YOU, STEPH 😂 i love that tennis vibe and open for new challenges
Amazing! Have you sent an email to us (info AT espacetricot DOT com)? I'll get the pattern out early next week to all the volunteers! (Steph)
Hello from Swansea, Illinois.
Great episode, thanks !
I really enjoy your podcast. I hope I do run into you two at a fiber event so I can say hi in person someday. ❤
Thank you!! Please say hello if you ever see us!!
tennis shawl is very interesting i love it
Yes!! more about wool rescue!! :)
Oh no, don't encourage me! 😂
Hallo, ich finde es vollkommen in Ordnung, für eine Anleitung zu bezahlen. Es ist auch schön, dass man sie einzeln kaufen kann, und nicht die Wolle dazu auch noch kaufen muss. Ich war letzte Woche das erste Mal in Montreal und habe es leider nicht geschafft im Laden vorbei zuschauen. Vielleicht beim nächsten Besuch. Ich freue mich schon auf die Anleitung vom Tennis Shawl. Es schaut toll nach Sommer aus. Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland, Uli
Vielen Dank! Wir hoffen, dass Sie uns bald besuchen können!
I am actually surprised you waited so long to charge for your free patterns. They had been free for many years and now that you two now run Espace tricot..."that's Business ". And the fact you offer patterns when you make a purchase makes sense and shows that you care about your customers. Thank you!🥰🇨🇦Sharon.
I love shopping at resale boutiques.
You should check out the Arne & Carlos Setesdal Series, that talks about that type of Norwegian sweater you are wearing. It’s very interesting and informative.
not many wool 2nd hand sweaters here in virginia, ive looked alot but havent gone on the internet sites a podcast about that might be fun
OMG, love the tennis shawl! I'm interested in test knitting if you are still looking for testers.
I'll be emailing the pattern out tomorrow! If you haven't already, send an email to info {at} espacetricot {dot} com with subject Steph's Shawl - yay, thank you!
Thi dotted pattern on yournorwegian sweater are called lice when knit bottom up abd fleas when knit top down. Of course traditional norwegian sweaters are knit bottom up with steak8ng for sleeves and neck openings.
We've heard of "lice stitch" but that distinction is so interesting, that you for sharing!!
not actually a Dale design, but you have a copy of the "setedals kofte". Arne and Carlos have a lot of info on their pod. :-)
Oh, those Sandnes Garn pattern books are amazing!
I think it is very gracious of you to offer people free patterns with purchases. I am sure that tens of thousands have benefitted from the many years of free patterns, and it is quite understandable that you cannot offer support and such for people while growing your business and putting out new content. You always seem to go above and beyond.
Thank you for this message - it's really appreciated.
Not ok to charge for patterns that were free and especially patterns you did not write. It’s really tacky to make money off of someone else’s intellectual property or simply someone else’s art. Nothing about that sits well with me. If you only started charging for new patterns or for the patterns YOU wrote that’s fine but what you did is greedy and tacky. Lost me as a customer. I will not pay for a single one of Melissa and Lisa’s patterns that they kindly and generously put out to the world for free.
I think they are charging for the pattern support they offer for these patterns. Their time is worth something. I’m betting they got permission from Melissa and Lisa first.
I wonder if you even know this is actually the case? Kind of “tacky” to say this without actually knowing. And the did explain that you can still get a pattern for free if you shop with them (for anything at all, not necessarily for yarn?) Also, you could have had them all for free if you’d simply downloaded them when they were offered… this just sounds like sour grapes, to be honest.
I agree… those patterns should have remained free.
Hi - this is a reply to the top comment in this sub-thread but is a response to the larger discussion. We knew this decision would not make everyone happy, and folks are allowed not to like it, and to express that. We won't get into financial details, but be assured, designers have been paid for their work. It's uncomfortable to be called greedy or tacky, but we are public figures of a sort and invited comment. We'd like to leave this discussion up, but please stay civil - thanks for your support!
You can also bring in the Grocery Girls. They have made it their goal to make sure no one have free patterns. They have made it a point to show their dismay that the previous owners had free patterns. I stopped buying from Espace Tricot and grocery girls because of this. Understand the double talk when you watch these you tube videos. The most laughable recent one is Amy Beth who used to go on half hour rants because the world didn't support obesity. She is now going on rants because people have noticed that she has obviously lost weight. You can't make up the crap in this clown world that we live in. These are spoiled, privileged women who are only pretending to give a damn.
Not impressed with your nonchalant way of monetize what is not the fruit of your own creative endeavors. Not cool!
