Always love seeing all the WIPs from both of you and hearing life stuff!

That Emma Ball project bag is so cute. I paused your podcast and went on a search to find one! Mission accomplished!

[@EileenK64]

I love all your projects and always enjoy your podcast. Have a great week!

[@teresabenson7759]

I just love you two together! You remind me of myself and my daughter Katie. Diana asking your daughter to cast on the tubular cast on made me laugh! My daughter always started "if you teach a man to fish, Mom...." that old saying! And I would say "Just give me the fish already!" Haha...I still have her fix my big mistakes for me! Thanks for such an enjoyable episode again!

When I had 3 preschoolers and had to go shopping, I held the hands of the 2 youngest and told Jennifer (the oldest) to take the hand of Stephanie (the youngest) because I knew Jen wouldn't let go of her sister's hand. When I shared my reasoning with her just a few years ago it kind of burst her bubble because she felt like such a big helper. I assured her she was a big helper.

Thanks Diana for sharing your journey on the garden cardigan. I want to knit this cardigan and am hoping I can gleen from your adventure.

[@jomeurer9444]

Fun podcast! Thank you! ❤

[@dawnfoley4355]

Diana, if you don't want to do the tubular cast on, you might want to try the alternating cable cast on instead. I find it much easier to do and it gives a very similar look to the tubular CO.

I enjoyed your podcast. The woman from the Knitting traditions podcast from northern Norway just had her first baby, and she frequently features children's patterns now as she knits for Nelly. Also, Kevin and Ray from Needles at the Ready have shown their jelly roll blankets. Ray has a bag of remnants that are all DK and just chooses as he goes along.

Another great podcast ladies!! I hope that Kaity's move will not interrupt your podcasting! Diana, I pray your health is ok, and Kaity, I'm so glad you have your knitting mojo back!! I love the sweaters you are wearing, and that baby romper is adorable. I have found I am knitting more frequently with a 2.5 needle lately--?? I have been wanting to use Knitting for Olive yarn. I don't have a LYS, so I am on the lookout whenever I get to a yarn shop. Diana, I am also not a fan of tubular CO!! Happy Anniversary, Kaity, and Nana Camp sounds wonderful! I had all my family here for 3 days, and we were busy with 2 5-year olds and a 3-year old!!

Caity, you’re going to have to make hubby another hat. That “I am no man” color way is perfect for you and brings out your eyes!

[@karenb136]

Love your video. I’m about 3/4 complete on the Garden Cardigan. I love this pattern. So easy and fun to work! ❤🧶

[@NancyMoore-kt3lu]

Great podcast! The bauble shawl in your thumbnail caught my eye. It is already in my library; I'm going to have to move it up my to-do list. Congratulations Katie on your new little one. I didn't know you were pregnant. Prayers for a healthy rest of your pregnancy.

[@virginiaanderson8875]

Nice to find you, Im over in SC - beginner knitting - so enjoy you being Mother/daughter - ☺️

[@kathleen6805]

Wonderful podcast and so happy for Katie that she has her mojo back. Beautiful knits ladies and I received Summer Lee’s book last month for my birthday and can’t wait to cast on but I’m being strong with myself to finish the two pairs that I’m almost done with before I co another pair. Though I have the yarn selected ❤

[@deniseengel1451]

Thanks ladies. I always enjoy your podcast and knits. I'm painting a kitchen and porch. Not as young as I used to be either. Sleeping good at night though.

[@sarahgalarza7420]

I love the Addi Rocket Squared needles! They are easier on my hands.

[@ruthannbull6515]

Hello from Michigam!

[@lesamatthes7811]

Try Earthtones Girl’s tutorial on the Shadow Wrap Short Row Heel. Great video and the written instructions are in her One More Step pattern which you can purchase via Ravelry. No waste yarn used & no cutting into the sock. Love your podcast!!
