As always a great video. I'm really happy you are finally discussing the price of some of the more costly yarns. You had spoke so highly of Plucky yarn and i went out and found that the sweater would cost me over $350.00. That is just too costly!!!
I love the piano keyboard hat. The pom-pom looks like hair.
Beautiful cowl and colors.
I really enjoy your videos.
I would be in heaven to create your wall yarn organizer.
I have had a bright pink neck flashlight thingies forever! Love it! Use it all the time!!!! Loved all the knitting content! You are rocking those needles!
I just bought a bag from Jodi last night! I've been watching all the old episodes from the beginning - I was in need of a Jodi/Traci fix. You two are like crack.
I’ve had the neck lamp for quite a while now and yes it is amazing for car knitting. Bright LED lights. No excuse for dropped stitches. Lol.
Welcome back Girls!! Love the drawstring bags Mrs Brown. Can't wait to see what happens this year... PS - I was the first company to import Glerups into North America back in 2004. Back then the manufacturing site was an old barn in Denmark with 5 women running everything including Nanny Glerup, who started making these felted beauties for family and friends. I love my Glerups!! Ciao for now!!
Love the colours in your Shift Cowl Tracey!!!! Beautiful!
I was gifted three skeins of yarn that were not my style at all. I looked and looked for a multi colored pattern to use them in. I finally did the shift Cowl. Even though I did not love the yarn at all, the cowl was beautiful! It was a great lesson to me, because I also thought that it wouldn’t really turn out if I wasn’t using the expensive spin cycle yarn! This is motivating me to need it again in yarn that I actually do like! I know it will be amazing! Thanks for the motivation ladies!
Jodi! I ended my SSSS in the 8th stripe. Go for it! And I received one of those led neck lights for Christmas a few years ago and my favorite thing to tell people is that I've found it goes over my visor in the car and I can aim the lights down and knit in the dark on car rides without disturbing the driver!
Wonderful podcast. It has taken me several days to watch because life keeps interrupting. But that means I really get to savor every minute of it. Thank you for bringing patterns, designers, yarns and yarn dyers to me with your podcast. You keep knitting exciting.
Hi Sisters!! Happy New Year! I knit Andrea Mowry's Nightshift Shawl in Brooklyn Tweed. Awesome!! Thanks for a fabulous visit. xoxo
So, I'm laughing like a mad thing, as while I watch your episode, I'm knitting with a NECK LIGHT on. They are fabulous beyond belief for knitting.. Another random, but great use, was when the power was out this fall, after a terrible storm, and I could see my way around the house at night! You will never know how you got along without them!
Always super fun! Those adorable bird bags are of a ruby-throated hummingbird and an American goldfinch!!! I spin and have lots of various handspun yarns hanging around and I think you turned me onto that Shift cowl. I've been avoiding it because it does look like it goes on FOR.EVER but yours is spectacular. And by the way, I wear my Canmore Cowl all the time!!! Love it!!!!
I have made the Flozzy Cardigan and love it and now that Libby has a Flozzy Jumper May have to make that too. Thanks so much for thinking of us in Australia - we are having a difficult time but it helps to know our knitting friends in Canada are thinking of us
So much fun as usual and THANK YOU for encouraging me treat myself to some wonderful yarny things! 🤗🙋🏻♀️🧶🧦 🐑
At work, we have a location in Atlanta, Georgia and every time I say it to a client all I can think is "GEORGIA! WE'RE PODCASTING!"
I bought the booby light from Amazon too! My kids think it’s hysterical but I love it!!
Hi Jodi and Tracie. . .I just wanted to tell you that Denise from Fig & Posy Fiber Co. is THE BEST! She is so easy to work with. . she goes up, over and beyond to make sure you have exactly the color and blend of yarn you are looking for.
It breaks my heart at the loss of animals in Australia. All those poor little Koala's burnt and lost and it's horrifying. I think the whole world is at a loss for words at how massive this fire is. It will take a long time to recover any of it and maybe never for some of the animals. As usual your podcast is my favorite and you never fail to make me laugh, or make me catch my breath at the things you knit, or the yarn you buy. Always inspiring. Happy New Year to you both.
See my comment above. There is a wonderful fiber artist that is donating 100 % of her sales for her new shawl. Of you need the is a discount code for the pattern. Helps people who want to give but have limited funds.
So good to see you on my little screen again! 💗
I agree Tracie, one sweater at a time. If I have multiple wips, I feel anxious and stressed.
Knit light! I've had one for about a year, I keep it in hubby's car for my car knitting. So many out of town ringette games that we still drive to, to watch our grown daughters play. My light has 3 settings, and I only ever need one side on, at the lowest setting. I love it! Welcome to the knit light club! 😘😘😘
I am in the US and you two are the most exciting podcast I've ever listened to. I love you guys!
You both bring so much joy with you! Thanks for brightening my week.
I turn on my computer...…..I go to RUclips...…...and yes...…….They've podcasted!!!! I grab my knitting and a cuppa...…….and watch! Love it! Thanks girls, and a Happy New Year to you both!!
My resolution for last year and this year is to not use plastic bags. I have invested in several reusable bags and I have failed occasionally but most times I remember to take them shopping with me.
It is sooooooo great to see you both!! I'm grateful holidays are over but was a peaceful time. It's great to see you both. Here's my deal I truly try to celebrate everyday with a new year attitude I have a mental illness and it's very very difficult every day so I have just chosen to be in the mindset of every day or part of every day I can celebrate being alive being here being who I am and all of that so happy new day to the both of you!!
Love your sweater and matching hat Jodi!!!!
What a fun episode!! I loved everything. I am knitting the same sweater as Jodi right now! I'm done the body and working on the first sleeve. I cast on last Thursday and I love it! Everything you showed was so fun but I especially love the watercolour bag. Our school's mascot is a llama so I totally need a llama bag. 😍
Libby Jonson aka Truly Myrtle is an extremely talented designer she is a Kiwi and has a Facebook group - Truly Myrtle - Knit & Chat Hangout. Here people are encouraged to talk about and show their garments designed by Libby. She has a weekly podcast in this group every Thursday morning and it is truly a delight. I encourage anyone to join this group it is very inspiring. BTW gorgeous ladies it’s great to see your beautiful faces again I’m so excited for all your 2020 podcasts especially the lives 😃 You brighten my day so much as between Nov 2019 and 13 January I lost both of my parents you help take my mind off such a hard time 😔 So thank you from the bottom of my heart 💓 xx Shiree (New Zealand)
The first amount of anything is not zero, it is one. Each group of ten is 1 thru 10, 11 thru 20, etc., so 2021 is the first year of the next decade. We haven’t lived thru 2,020 years until the end of this year yet! Happy New Year! And thanks for your very fun podcasts ❤️
Been binge watching your podcasts trying to catch up and enjoying them. You two are so funny and fun to watch while I knit.
I am so thrilled that I found you both! I discovered your podcast about one week ago while on vacation (teacher) and have been playing catch up. You make me laugh out loud! There are few podcasts that I'm enthralled with (and know from the first video) and your's is one of them. Keep it up girls! From a 61 year old teacher who LOVES all things knitting....I knit during my unassigned class (watching podcasts) and always get to my next class with a smile!
Love the slippers I have 3 pair. One with the finished bottom to wear outside. They are so warm ,even when it is really cold outside.♥️♥️ and they are not slippery the finished grip is amazing
I made the shift cowl for my sister for Christmas. I just used some super budget sport weight superwash Merino I got from blueprint in 3 solid colors. It turned out beautifully. She loved it so much she did not take it off for days. I totally want to make one for myself in the called for yarn at some point.
Love the SSSS colours, Jodi! I knit 2 of those sweaters both in Erika Knight Wool Local held double. I did the first one in the length Joji did in dark grey and blue and the second one I did light grey and grubby pink but added an extra stripe to make it a bit longer. I love them both and wear them all the time. I'm likely going to make a third. :)
Happy New Year! Loved all the knitting and yarn you shared. So great to spend a couple of hours with you.
I’m hoping to make a dent in my yarn stash this year, just as I did in my quilt fabric in 2019. I finished, bound, and labeled, 9 quilts (6 flannel quilts/6 grandchildren, 1 flannel quilt/great grandson, 2 cotton quilts/ for ?) I have 4 more quilts being quilted right now! All stash fabric is designated (some cut, some started sewing) for set projects....so no more fabric stash!
I have a floozy waiting for me to get back to it 😂, plus several other wips, plus a moderate stash that needs attention. I am trying extremely hard to not buy any new yarn; but you do not help 😭. Look forward to more visits with you 💛
Well I’m off to my usual good start in 2020; signed up for the Row One Carnival of Color Club and bought yarn from Hue Loco. As usual it’s taking me several days to watch your podcast because of all the shopping. I would have some Cashmere yarn on the way if it hadn’t been sold out! 🥴😂 I bought two of those neck lights several years ago so I’d always have one charged. Everyone needs one!!
Hi Tracy and Jodie, I have one of those lamps and looooove it! Beautiful all your knits and yarns!
I laugh so much with you guys, you're such good sisters.❤️♥️
Carrot Cake with too much cream cheese frosting! YES!
So happily surprised when I saw that you guys had a new podcast! Traci-I can’t even! Your new hat pattern and your red sweater are amazing! I may have to knit a shift because of you. Jodi-love your party of five set. I have a set of the lights. I use them to read at knit too.
I bought myself a lamp like that for car knitting and it totally works! Not blinding the driver!!
I made the Shift cowl last year and loved it! The design and colors are just amazing and surprising. I gave it away and now I want to make another for myself. Yours turned out beautifully.
What a happy RUclips 🔔 to have pop up today❣️ Fun to watch as always!!!
Love the yarn berry colours, all the colours of yarn so beautiful...would all make such cute socks 🧦 🧶🤗
Thank you Jodie and Tracie for thinking about us in Sunburnt country called Australia. Yes it is bad down here.
oh I love you sooooo much ! Your french accent , you have made my day !! The traduction for the Biscotte yarn is : My country is winter . Love you girls and happy new year from Quebec !
OMG too funny! I was just sitting here knitting in the dark with my neck light. They are AMAZING! Haven't been feeling well but I would never miss a video!
Me too get well soon 😕
Yarn Byrds are awesome! I was on my way to a Fiber festival in Ky and we drove past her truck. I went "nuts" ! My hubby wouldn't beep the horn! She is so much fun. The truck is beautiful! Come to Ohio Ladies!
I made the Shift Cowl with Cascade Heritage Wave and it is spectacular and so much less expensive.
I am ridiculously jealous of all your snow talk! It’s going to be hot as crap where I am in Australia tomorrow and on fire watch 😭 dreaming of snow ❄️
Brooke Allison We are all so devastated by your fires! Stay safe❤️
Those neck lights have changed my knitting life!!!
LaFrileuse Good for walking the dog at dawn and dusk too!!
@@MrMonet111, also good for reading at night!
I made the Shift too, out of my hand spun yarn. I agree it is the most fun to knit and wear a lot!
The Biscotte yarn you have ... I got it two winters ago and still haven’t knit it but I love looking at it so much! It’s sooooo soft!
I've just started watching you wonderful ladies, ttscraps sent me, I dont know a lot about knitting, but I love watch you two and listening, I do crochet, and am learning to knit, glad you ladies are on here to watch
I have the Dreamstate and the other one(?) but I love just hand-spun. Ewetopia yarn is glorious. Lots of yardage and weights are great. Soft!! I could not get through that cowl. I really wanted it but I felt like I was on chain gang. Yours is gorgeous Tracie.
Love you guys!
About the meaning on the name of that yarn......"mon pays c'est l'hiver"! I remember it so well from high school and learning about the history of Quebec and the Quiet Revolution - as per Wikipedia: ""Mon pays" ("My Country", or "My Homeland", in English) is a song composed by Quebec singer-songwriter Gilles Vigneault in 1964.... The song consists of six stanzas of lyrics about winds, cold, snow, and ice, of the solitude of wide open spaces and of the ideal of brotherhood. Its theme, "'Mon pays ce n'est pas un pays, c'est l'hiver", is well-known throughout the province. As well as expressing the natural beauty and praising the special characteristics of the composer's Quebec homeland, the song is seen by many people as declaring the free spirit of the province; Vigneault has denied that this was ever his intention; however, he has been firm that "mon pays" refers to Quebec and should not be associated with Canada as a whole."
Then Patsy Gallant turned it into the disco hit "From New York to L.A."
Would love the large bag with a draw string. Tracie is so right!
On the sofa today with a flare up of my MS/Fibro and stumbled across your videos, which I really enjoy. Was drooling over patterns and yarns and would love it if you could put in links to both in future! Will subscribe and watch more!
In kindergarten i was taught 0 1 2 3 exc.... This is the same as counting with a 0 and up. When it comes to the years. You ladies are correct it starts with 0. Best of the New Year!
Okay, you’ve convinced me to cast on the Shift! I’ve had the yarn for months and it’s time! Except, I think I need to cast on Tracie’s hat first. Happy New Year!
Technically the new decade starts with 2021 because there was no year 0. But I still think of this as the start of the new decade.
I love my The Shift cowl using Spincycle yarns. My colors are almost identical to yours, i used their Dyed in the Wool yarn. I’ll be making another one. A friend is making another one using 2 colors of Sesame yarn from Berroco & 1 of Kenzie. It is gorgeous. This is a pattern that you can use any yarn.
I have new, unbelievable headphones. They are seriously noise cancelling - which has been a little bit of challenge because people in my house keep sneaking up on me! When Georgia and I assume Tracies' son, walked through the house, I could hear it and it scared the sh*T out of me ;)
If we're voting I think it makes so much more sense culturally to talk about decades from 0 - 9. And nuts are very important. As are lovely, scrumptious yarns. I need a sweater I want to pet!
My goodness everything that you shown on your podcast today for 2020 is absolutely gorgeous !!
I want to get everything. And the colors are out of this world Thank you for sharing I am so so excited to start knitting everything ? OK maybe not everything I’m not that good but you make it hard just to choose One or two. Thanks again💞
Love the shift cowl, I made one in Stonehenge fiber crazy. Got the bug to make the shawl and treated myself to Spincycle, it is so worth the time and money!!
Yarnbyrds is the best. Robin always has a great selection of indie dyers and you gotta love a yarn truck!
I got two mrs browns bags for Xmas love them especially when duty was more expensive than bags to Scotland but so so special thank u Jodie xx
I just bought a neck lamp on Amazon after watching your podcast today! I can't wait to see what my husband's reaction is. LOL Also, we met you at Rhinebeck (I'm sure you remember! 🤣) and knowing how you feel about the crowds, I would recommend VKL New York on Sunday. Saturday is like Rhinebeck on steroids! (or just come do a New York LYS tour like you mentioned-Please include The Knitting Place which is the booth where I will be hanging out on Saturday of VKL waiting to meet Joji!! 💕)
Before a baby's 1st birthday it is still ALIVE! So... 2020! New Decade [new baby]. ~Marie
Tracie, that’s why I don’t knit sweaters anymore. I am tired of things not fitting after I spent so much time and money on it.
KEVIN!!! O M G thank you!
Love your Floozy sweater Tracie. Truly Myrtle came out with a pullover version (Floozy Too) released in Nov 2019 which I just bought and want to add to my future knitting after seeing yours. Might even check out Barrett wool. Thanks for the inspiration. Love you guys!!
Happy new year! I also have those slippers, first thing I put on when I get out of bed or walk in the door!
Mon pays c’est l’hiver, is a well known French song from Quebec folklore. Written by Gilles Vigneault. The title translates to what Jodi said of “my country is the winter”
This is freaky!! I finished my Hastings mitts a few days ago and Jason's Cashmere Hat for my husband last night. Delighted with both. I'm now going to have to get your gorgeous new hat pattern for myself.
Me too Jodi! So so happy when the holidays are over! And I love love my alone time ❤️
Mon pays c’est l’hiver is the title of a very popular and beautiful folk song. Look it up! And yes, it’s about snowy winters! (“My country is not my country it’s winter”)
The shift in Noro is incredible.
Fig and Posy is THE most squishy, easy to work with yarn I've ever used! My first attempt at knitting. Made Martina Behm's Match and Move shawl. Totally worth looking into!
Yay! Happy New Year girls from Wales. Home made ice-cream is the biz! 'Very Knitty episode" - always funny turns of phrase x
Happy new year to you both... But omg I bought 2 of those lights and they are the best thing ever!! My daughter thinks they're weird but they work and are brilliant for crafters... Love your podcasts as always. 🌹
I absolutely love the idea of knitting a shift cowl in worsted or DK❤️ I have my original one in the sport weight and I feel like it would be better if it was just a bit bigger and squishier. Just like yours Tracie 👍🏻 I usually never knit the same thing twice but this will be my first! So happy for a new episode of Grocery Girls thank you 🙏🏻
Happy 2020! So glad to see you! I’m addicted to pom-poms too!
Happy New Year ladies. I loved all the projects you showed on this podcast. Your colour combinations are super cute. Wish I could choose combos like you. And that light is amazing. I do have a headlamp which I purchased from Lee Valley and I use it for lots of things - it’s so useful. But I think I need that neck lamp you showed. You can never have too much light :)
Lucky to be going to Vogue Knitting Live this coming weekend. Wish you two were going to be there.
I am going to make the shift with schoppel zauberwolle. Can't wait to cast on !
A child is not 1 until their first birthday, but they have been alive for a year. I think that should count for decades, too. January 1, 2020 was the decade's birth.
Speaking of projects people knit more than one of, I just finished my third "Sweet Shop" shawl. All of them are two color versions and I love them!!!!! Picking the color combos is a blast. I'll have to share photos with you!
Love our Colorado Dyers... they rock.. just like the grocery girls...
Happy New Year girls...the “decade”does go from 1 to 10...but I still feel 2020 is the beginning of a new decade...the twenties 😄
Only six inches of snow. We had 18 inches last Friday and it is snowing like crazy right now with a forecast for snow everyday until Mon. I live in the Bella Coola valley in BC. I love carrot cake. My recipe has crushed pineapple and shredded carrot -- no nuts.
Wear my shift cowl all the time - the unmatch is in the back. Mine is all solid colors and still looks great!
As usual you gals are such a treat! I watch on the tv monitor via Roku/youtube ... and to fast forward is snail slow, so this time instead of a regular ad before your podcast it was a full episode of Zoey's playlist ... Oh My Word!! at first I was whaat! now I think I'm hooked! Crazy .... anyway, I'm gonna head on over and buy your winter walk hat! YAY!
Love The Shift cowl! Another great yarn to use that is pretty affordable would be Schoppel-Wolle. I made my cowl using this yarn and it's awesome :)
Definiely a cowl, Jodi! Using Shipwreck and Charcoal! Beautiful colors that scream out your name! Cant wait to see what you make. Those colors would also make a GROOVY Hat Jodi!!🙂
Traci, have you considered knitting backwards for your sweater instead of purling every second row? I find it much more relaxing and speedier. But I have had years of practice. It is really nice the go back and forth without turning the garment or having to purl. At least for something of that magnitude. Just a thought for future projects. Love the colours you choose by the way. Can’t wait for you to show off the finished cardigan. :D
Happy New Year!
The lights work really well despite their dorkiness.
Thanks for mentioning the fires here in Oz. It has been a difficult and terrifying time with such loss. Wildlife Victoria is in desperate need of cash donations and is a registered charity with an online donation portal. Also there is a group on Ravelry made up of indie dyers selling a limited edition colourway and donating proceeds to their choice of fund. #indiedyersforbushfiresupport.
Oh so nice, you will love knitting with Les Laines Biscotte! I have knit in their self stripe, and speckled, love it!
I preordered one of your drawstring bags. I already have one and love, love, love it 😍
