I think that Jessica is the oldest because she is quiet and patient. I think that Rachel is the youngest because she seems more outgoing. I have been watching from the first episode and I am amazed and impressed with both of your knitting and creative ability and the amount of projects that you complete. Have a wonderful Birthday girls!!
Yay. Happy birthday. Jessica is older (job in analytics, first one to speak but specifically about the details, steps in to help provide words if Rachel gets stuck, structured about yarn purchases-stashless). Rachel is younger (by seconds?) - has a job as an artist, quick to laugh, slightly more carefree. I’m a first-born (but not a twin) and love asking people birth order questions because I find it fascinating and since becoming a mom, seeing how my kids fit and break the mold. ❤🎉
I agree. Jessica is baby A and Rachel is baby B.
I think Rachel is the oldest. Her energy is more quiet and shy to me, like my older son. Happy birthday to you two! 🎉
Just love your podcast!
My vote is that Jessica is older. I can't explain why, but I'm the oldest sibling, and I find that I identify more with Jessica in personality.
If you want to avoid the gym shorts top-stitching on the skirt's waistband, you should do vertical topstitching along the side seams. That will keep the elastic from flipping without affecting the design.
I came here to say this too!
I think Rachel is the older twin and Jessica, the younger. Jessica comes across as having that 2nd child energy! 😊
From the beginning, my identical twin sister and I thought Rachel was the older twin as she is most like me and I am the older twin. We are also avid knitters and get a lot of inspiration from your knits. We also celebrated our birthday last week...Happy Happy birthday to you both!
I am a twin as well (the older one), and Jessica matches my energy more, so I am going with Jessica as the first born and Rachel as the second born twin. :)
Hi, I’ve had that issue with detergent making my clothes blue before and usually it’s because the detergent didn’t fully dissolve. I’ve been able to put my clothes back in the washer with warm water and the blue color will be gone. Hope that works for you!
Happy birthday!! 🎉❤️ Praying for a great year ahead for you both!!
If you ever do a bonus video outside of the typical (amazing) podcast episodes, it would be so cool to do a haul of each of your hand-kit wardrobe’s, where you each quickly go through all your garments you’ve made that are still in your closet! Maybe a sewing one too! I think it would be very inspiring to see your full collection from over the years! Love your episodes, they inspire me to knit more and try new things!!
Lovely podcast again ❤ I also think Jessica is the older sister somehow she is giving me "big sister" vibes 😊
Your knitting podcasts are one of my most favorite ones to watch and I'm always super happy when I get notified that you guys uploaded an episode again!!
I feel like Jessica is older... I'm a July baby as well! And I'm also working on the Audrey Top! I'm working it in the straw color from Sandnes Garn Line.
I think Jessica is the oldest. It's hard to explain, but she just seems older.
Love Conan! Is he a ragdoll. We have two. So cute!!! Love the knitting and sewing. Wow, beautiful garments. HAPPY Happy Birthday! - Kimberly
Oh, that cat is adorable! Such a beautiful creature demanding love and attention ❤ My cat keeps interrupting everything I'm busy with, I can literally read that question in his eyes "what can be more important than me?"
Jessica has all the older sibling vibes. You are both such a blessing to watch. Your parents must be very special people. Great podcast. Have a great memory making vacation. ❤
I believe Jessica is older. I asked my husband and he thinks Rachael is. (How funny is that!) I love your videos and learn so much from you. Thank you 💕Happy Birthday!!
Happy Birthday to you !
I am the mother of identical twins born five minutes apart and the grandmother of twins.
All through your podcast I tried to decide which of you I would guess as oldest and I kept changing my mind!
I really enjoy watching all the things you knit and sew, thank you for sharing.
Enjoy your vacation! My two cents on who's the oldest: your dynamic reminds me a lot of how my younger sister and I interact, and therefore I think Jessica might be the older sister. 😊
Happy birthday ladies🎉🎉 and I think that Jessica as the older sister vibes ❤
First, I want to say how much I love your podcast! You are both adorable and so talented!
My guess is Rachel is the older sister!
😂Lemon sherbert/sorbet😂 love to see it knitted up, looks glorious
I think Jessica is oldest, partly because Rachel talked about this game. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
my twin sister is 23 min older then me. When we were younger, she use to brag she was older. Now that we are turning 60, I get to brag that I am younger then her. So things change lol.
I think Rachel is older because she is a teacher. Teachers are often eldest children! Also, I want to thank you for mentioning the coffee collection from Coast to Coast. I just love the whole collection. I've ordered some yarn for a colorwork top and can't wait to start.
I recommend color catchers which you can get at grocery store. this would have helped with your fabric
You might want to have a look at Pure Linen Envy on-line store in Ontario, Canada. They just sell linen fabric (small selection but great quality and prices especially for USA buyers).
For sure Jessica first then Rachel - Jessica is a typical big sister (for all the good reasons :))
It was so inspiring to see all those gorgeous bags - they all ended up in my queue, except for the Florence bag, which is already done and just sitting waiting for the zipper and lining. It was meant to go with me to Florence but it did not make it. Love your sew adventure - you are so stunning in all of them. wish you a great summer vacation - and looking forward all your fall knits and sew projects
Since Jessica mentioned they follow the traditional older/younger sibling, I believe Rachel is older since she seams to always lead the podcast/conversation. Happy early birthday! Always enjoy your podcast.
I just enjoy you two - love that you are doing some sewing along with your knitting (like bag linings) opens your world to so many things. I am doing reverse, many years of sewing/quilting and just a beginner knitter - Happy Birthday to Jessica & Rachel - both such fun and talented podcasters - thanks for bringing it to the world of U-tube❤
I'm going to say that Jessica is older! She gives me that older sister vibe!! Love seeing all the summer tops, you're making me want to knit the Margeaux top!
Wonderful epoxied ladies! Kept me company this Monday morning with coffee, breakfast AND knitting of course! Enjoy your summer vacations 😊
Let's say Rachel is the oldest... when she came to this world as the first born she was full of excitement to tell her mom and dad that she met the most adorable girl ever and that her mom had to do her best to bring her to this world so they could chat and giggle and knit all there lives long. And then came Jessica, she just knew she had to let her sister come first to tell and show the world how wonderful they both were... when she arrived she looked at her sister loved her immediately and smiled. HAPPY BIRTHDAY ladies.
To me the sis in black is the eldest. I'm usually right about guessing. Happy birthday to you both! Ok that was at the very beginning of the episode and now I'm changing my tune, left side eldest, right side youngest. Both girls are delightful!
I think Rachel is older. Rachel seems more vigilant about order and organization while Jessica seems a bit more relaxed. I love these qualities about both of you and it makes watching your videos so dynamic and fun! I’ve loved getting to see your personalities shine through over the last year of watching you! Happy Birthday! (Knitting on a Blouse Number 2 by My Favourite Things)
I also think Jessica is the oldest. She is a little more maternal and encouraging when Rachel is sharing. Both young women are just adorable and I’m always so happy to see a new video appear. Mom and dad need to be congratulated for raising such lovely girls.
I agree with most people here that I think Jessica is the oldest! Also, would love a post on vacation knits - what projects are you taking with you, what notions / supplies, how you decided / packed, etc! I just got back from Italy, where I made my first ever pair of socks since it was small and fit in my purse for when we were in lines waiting for stuff, and I also brought a cardigan project. I leave again for Colorado and Wyoming tomorrow, so I'm starting another pair and did a Japanese short row heel during this video - definitely took some of the anxiety out since your voices are so calming
I just finished my own Florence bag! I made the small though and seeing your lovely large ones.... I'm tempted to make the large one now too!
I think Jessica is the oldest for the same reasons that others have said. I think I remember that Jessica finished one of Rachel's knits when she didn't have the patience to finish it, seems very "older sister" to me. I hope you had a wonderful birthday and holidays and I can't wait for the next episode of your podcast.
Happy birthday! I’m going with Jessica as the oldest🎉 your fabric washing saga is so relatable. My Monday sweater is my most worn bc it fits so well. You are sweethearts thank you for sharing about your projects..☀️
As an identical twin myself I feel that Rachel is the older twin. Happy Birthday and have a fun holiday! BTW we are July babies as well.
You can rinse the fabric where the blue detergent left residue. I've had detergents with color leave what looks like grease spots on fabric. High power rinsing may force the detergent out. Sometimes you can use a color-catching sheet in the wash to pull color out. You can tack the elastic in a few places in the waistband to keep it from rolling or twisting in the casing. Also, some fabrics have a little diagonal stretch, so places where the bodice is cut diagonally near the armhole will have a little bit of stretch. Nice job choosing fabrics and patterns for your dresses and knits!
Happy birthday! I think Jessica is older because of vibes/job but also because she pointed at herself when talking about older sibling/younger sibling.
The white dress came out lovely, thanks for sharing. I want to sew a white dress, it's so hard to find one in the store unless its a wedding dress! 😄 I have made a drawstring pouch from the excess fabric to go with the dress. Your summer tees are all lovely 💕
I made the citrine socks also. The designer states in the pattern to use different size needles for the sole and the instep to deal with the change in gauge, and that worked well for me.
Have fun on vacation!!
I have no idea why but I think Rachel is the older one.
Generally I am more interested in knitting projects but your sewn pieces are just amazing and they always look gorgeous on you. I look forward to the sewing update every time!
I was knitting on a light summer sweater/long sleeve top using petiteknits cumulus blouse o-neck pattern. The yarn is a light DK chainette 100% linen yarn from colourmart in a dusty sage colour. The gauge is very open. The swatch looks and feels great so I really hope this turns out nice!! 🤞🤞
Nice projects and a great episode! Happy upcoming birthday and a great vacation) I also think that Jessica is older
I’m also a twin. My sister and I learned to knit when we were about 7 years old. We knit every day now after not much knitting while we raised our children. My youngest son will be 29 in August. I will say my favorite decade was my 30’s. We just turned 60 - and I’m a new Gramma, so I’m expecting this next decade to be great too. I have much more time to knit. I would guess Jessica is older. She sort of pointed to herself when she said “older” , “younger”in this video. 😊
Fun podcast. First time watching. 😊
My instinct says Jessica is older. Partly due to occupations. I’m the youngest in my family, and when Rachel said it would be fun to find out who we thought was the oldest, it was exactly what I would say. I can’t wait to find out.
Happy Birthday to you both! 🎈
I get older sister vibes from Jessica, so she's my guess for who is oldest but you are both SO lovely to watch. I hope you have a fabulous birthday!!
Love your podcasts and all the knitting and sewing you both do. I’m also love knitting and sewing!!!! It’s hard to tell but my gut says Jessica is a bit older. Enjoy your vacations and look forward to seeing you both in a month!!!
Really enjoy watching your podcast….fresh ideas of new knits and who knows maybe you’ll inspire me to sew again! Thanks! Might want to try Mrs. Stewart’s Bluing for the stained white fabric. I am a younger twin and I think Rachel might be the youngest also. Happy knitting! 💕🧶💕
My gut feeling has told me that Jessica is the order sister. Thank you for another great episode!
I love your personalities, your yarn and color choices and your aesthetic.
The trouble with the staggered vs lined up holes in the Margaux top is a matter of a slipover one stitch too soon or too late. Am working on an ankle sock with the same pattern and since the entire top of the sock is this pattern I have had to frog several times until I realized what I was doing wrong. It is very subtle in this top and really doesn’t matter like in the sock (simple Summer Socks by Liz Pankratz)
Happy birthday to you amazing girls. I love your podcast so much. Everything you make is so lovely. I am a mother of 3 and I have twins who will turn 17 next month :) I have been watching you since day one and I am always so excited when I see a new episode from you guys. My guess is that Jessica is older. Lots of love from Iceland 💗
I have been watching from the very beginning and love your podcast! I definitely think that Jessica is the older twin. I’m not sure if I can explain why. You are both beautiful and have lovely personalities. Happy birthday to you both!
Omg. Your dresses are beautiful ❤
Happy birthday! And have a wonderful trip to the Oregon coast-- it’s so beautiful there. But cold! bring sweaters for the wind. :).
I think Jessica is likely the older twin because she seems more serious and seems to have a more serious job in analytics. Whereas Rachel talks more freely and has a job working with kids. But either way, you both are lovely people!
I pick Jessica as the older one, partly b/c of job choice and partly b/c Rachel mentioned being sad about getting older and Jessica talked about embracing it. My youngest two are boy/girl twins and my younger twin loves being the 'baby' of the family, even though she tends to 'mother' her twin brother. They just turned 18.
My guess is Jessica is the oldest (seems to have eldest child characteristics) 😆 Regarding your Margaux Top: I am in the middle of knitting the same top (totally inspired by you) and I too thought that my lace was 'funky' when I split for the front and back. Initially when I changed to working flat I just winged it as I thought I knew what I was doing but then I frogged my first repeat (after the split) and re-knit it following Gregoria's working flat instructions. This sorted the issue for me. There are a few little things she does which I hadn't done: 1. knit the first stitch 2. Not only is the WS knit in reverse i.e. purl instead of knit, but SHE REVERSES THE ORDER OF THE LACE i.e. the first row has the YO before the p2tog compared to the round where the first row is t2tog then YO. So the first row of lace becomes the second when worked flat. Hopefully this makes sense! It might be worth looking at if you're going to knit a few more for your gradient 😂
Knitting with Sandnesgarn Almond as I watch! Totally influenced as your style is so classic and elegant. Making the Artisane Cardigan - it’s winter here and think I’ll wear it lots
Bit puzzled by the pattern but think I’ve worked it out
Happy Birthday 🎂
Happy Birthday Jessica & Rachel! Really can't tell who is the eldest ;) Lovely episode , I love seeing both the knitting and sewing projects. It's great to hear your making experiences. You have inspired me to sit down at the sewing machine and make those summer dresses I have been dreaming about with fabric that I bought 2 months ago when on vacation in France!
Love your channel! You remind me of one of my daughters who spent some time in KC one year doing the KC Ballet intensive. I wondered if y’all did ballet also. But the reason I’m texting is that you can shorten zippers. Just google for instructions bc you may be able to fix your cute bags if the zipper issue bothers you enough. Regardless, it’s good to know for future projects.
Happy almost Birthday!!🎉 Jessica acts like my older sister, so she must be the oldest even if it’s just a few minutes. The golden brown yarn you have left over would look gorgeous as an accent to black yarn in a sweater. Enjoy your vacation! ❤❤❤
I laughed out loud when you said the fabric went blue...😅love thrift store finds
Currently working on a Friday baby sweater for my new nephew, and I think Jessica is older (because I think we share some similarities and I’m the oldest sibling) and Rachel is younger!
Twill tape makes a good casing for elastic on a dress that has many elastic banks. Also, shirring does not give the flexibility to adjust the length of the elastic if you find that you want it tighter or looser.
Happy Birthday!🥳🥳 I think Jessica is the oldest 😊 really love your videos, thanks so much for sharing them!
Thank you so much!! 💛💛
Happy Birthday!🎉
My guess is Jessica is older. Just a gut feeling. 😃
It was interesting to read other comments. I thought for sure everyone would say Jessica was older. Which will be funny if it is Rachel who is older. I just have the sense that Rachel defers to Jessica as an authority so that makes me think Jessica is older. Thanks for sharing your makes. Your tops and bags and sewing projects are gorgeous. Have a great birthday and holiday. :)
I think Jessica is older! Love your projects! I'm still plugging away on my camisole #9 that you all inspired me, with yarn for the clay sweater on the way.
Hi Jessica and Rachel
I love watching you both and your knits are lovely and your sewing is amazing
Happy Birthday Girls soon to be Enjoy your day !!!
I think Jessica was born first don’t know why I feel this
love you both 😊🥰
Happy birthday to the both of you 🎉 I am guessing Rachel is older, not sure why…just a gut feeling 😊
Happy birthday to you both! I agree that your thirties are way better than your twenties, at least in my limited experience at 30 😂 My guess is that Jessica is older and Rachel is younger. Love your channel and it's really cool following knitters in the same general area as I am 😁
Happy Birthday 🎂
Enjoy your podcasts! I think Jessica (the one to my right) and Rachael is the youngest. I feel this way because Rachael seems to follow Jessica’s lead. I could be wrong 😊 Happy Birthday 🥳
Happy birthday!! I think Jessica is the older one, can’t wait to hear who it is 🤗🤗 I have twin girls and just love it, so much fun for us as parents. Best wishes to both of you 😘😘
Being a mom of to girls 2 years apart an in their early 30’s I think I can tell that Jessica is older than Rachel. Either way you are such an enjoyable duo and I love your knitting aesthetic. Have a great vacation,
Wonderful podcast! Wishing you both a very Happy Birthday! I think Jessica is the older twin and Rachel the younger twin.
Yay I love your pod! I totally think Jessica is older haha
I just found your podcast and enjoyed it so much! I have twin nephews your same age and I wouldn’t even be able to guess which one of you is oldest my nephews I have been around their whole life and they still try to confuse me and my husband has given up even trying to tell them apart! I love that you both knit and sew I also like to do both and thought your projects were beautiful. I would like to pass on something that I use that might be worth checking into and keeping on hand it is a color catcher product that I use when in doubt or I am just not sure. The one I use is from Carbona and it is called color grabber and is dye grabbing sheet. I have been very glad I used it on several occasions! Have a happy birthday and a fun vacation!
Happy birthday to you both. I’m going with Jessica being the eldest based on my own girls. My youngest works with children and my eldest is office based 🤔. Hope you have some lovely celebrations lined up for the last year of your twenties 🎉
to neutralise bleech try soaking the fabrik in vinegar water. Happy Birthday Girls !!!
I love this new 2 week rhythm. 😊❤❤
Who was born first... hmmm, at first I thought Rachel, but now I want to say Jessica. Not for any reason, you are just the perfect pair!
My daughters are 3 years apart but, if you met them today as adults it would be obvious who was the firstborn.
I am going to say Jessica too. I think because Jessica seems to me to be a little maternal toward Rachel 😂 I think you are both delightful !happy birthday!
Happy birthday❤
Another inspirational podcast! Thank you and happy birthday!
I am gonna say Jessica is older. Happy Birthday to you two!
Jessica is the older twin!
Being a sewer - Im laughing and know not funny - but color catchers on your next shopping trip to grocery !! Good thing sale fabric!!😊
My Guess is Jessica was born first so she is the oldest. It's just a vibe I get when you are interacting with each other. Regardless ....Happy Birthday to you both. 😊
So fun! I think Jessica is older, I’m not sure why, just get that vibe :) Happy Birthday to you both 😊🎉
I made the Sabai with a cotton blend dk the #1
Now you are sewing and having leftovers you can make some unique project bags!
G’day, I think Jessica was first born. Enjoy celebrating your birthday 🎂🎂 looking fwd to your next episode. 🍀🍀
I want to say that Jessica is the oldest, but I'm going with Rachel. Y'alls projects look amazing as always. 🧶 I love that y'all make similar projects, but y'all put your own individual spins on it. I'm working on a crochet tee.
Happy birthday! I think that Jessica is the older twin:)
Hello from Swansea, Illinois.
I think Rachel because she’s a teacher and I think teachers are often oldest children. But I also think Jessica because Rachel says “I want to make that like yours” more often. Happy birthday ladies! Age is relative!
