Rhinebeck is loads of fun and very overwhelming. You do need to go with a plan or list in mind but also don’t shut down the idea of seeing something that you fall in love with and taking it home or you will regret it. There aren’t usually sales or special deals but being able to see so many brands and colors in one place is awesome. Love your podcast. Please keep going.
Thank you so much! That is such good advice, I cannot even imagine how much beautiful yarn has to be at Rhinebeck! And seeing it all in one weekend!! Fun and overwhelming must be right 😂❤
The Margaux Top is absolutely gorgeous and I am adding it to my "to make" list. I also love hearing how confident you are about knitting and changing up the pattern of the Humlebi Socks. I am a newbie sock knitter and still figuring out how it all works, hearing your confidence in being able to change up certain parts makes me excited for my sock knitting future. :)
Thank you so much!! I feel like socks can be kind of polarizing for knitters, some people love to knit them and some people definitely don't! Once you find what you like though, they can be so relaxing 🤗
I agree, going to a yarn festival and seeing so much yarn is very overwhelming. However, coming up with plans using specific patterns is also very overwhelming! Instead, I look on my Ravelry pages and note how many yards I used for projects at any given weight. Knowing how much yarn I used for a DK, fingering, worsted (etc.) project vs what the pattern calls for helps me buy the correct amount of yarn without committing to a specific pattern.
That is such a great idea! We often find that we have a little bit more leftover than the pattern calls for so keeping track of what you actually use is a great idea! We need to start now so maybe next year we will have enough info for if we do get to go to a yarn festival 🤗
I'm so glad I found your podcast! It's so fun to see your projects. I'm really glad you mentioned coast to coast yarn; I found the perfect yarn there for my next project, after looking at over 20 online yarn sites. Thanks!
Thanks for keeping me company as I worked on my Jennie tee. We have two major yarn festivals a year where I am and I always have a few sweaters in mind but pretty well just research what kind of yardage I need for sweaters in each weight before I go.
I’m working on a striped sweater from some scrapyarn that my kid will wear next year. Love the cami no 5 in white. I really want to knit a light coloured ribbed tank this fall.
Beautiful knits again. Thank you for a another lovely episode. I do hope you get to some festivals soon and can share your experience (and purchases 😁) with us 😊
Just found your channel a few days ago, it's my new favorite! Can't wait to see more. I'm about to cast on the Salty Days sweater by Veronica Lindberg. She has such beautiful sweater patterns.
(This is Jess) Thank you! I have some dk yarn in my stash that I was thinking I’d use to make a Salty Days sweater! It’s such a beautiful pattern. Please let us know how you end up liking it! ☺️
Just found your podcast and really enjoy it. I also just found out about Unwind Fiber in Lee’s Summit thru Knitty Knatty video. Of course a quick trip from Springfield Mo was in order. And what a beautiful shop it is. And gorgeous yarns which has to come home with me 😊. Currently I have a Stained Glass Cowl and a Flax Pullover on my needles. Will be catching up on your podcasts and look forward to the next one
We are really lucky in the KC Metro area. Lots of great LYS options and I'm looking forward to the Yarn Crawl in a few weeks. A group of us from Unwind have experienced the Yarn Crawl in a stretch limo! So much fun!
Oh my gosh that would be the best way to experience it!! That is so much fun!! We are really looking forward to the yarn crawl too! 😊 We love hearing from another local knitter! ❤
Rhinebeck always happens right around my birthday so hopefully I can go one year! I wish KS had some kind of wool festival. I’d definitely go. I’m currently test knitting a brioche/garter cowl in some coast to coast natural extrafine and undyed suri and dreaming of cooler weather.
Same, we’d be the first ones to sign up for a festival in the area! That cowl sounds gorgeous! It’ll be perfect for when the heat breaks and we finally get some fall weather!
I watched all your episodes and truly enjoyed your content! i feel motivated to finish my twist loop top, the summer is almost over but my summer knits are definitely not done yet!
Would love to meet you at Rhinebeck some day. I live nearby so we go every year. I used to get overwhelmed and feel the need to buy all the things but I feel like this year I am really looking forward to just meeting other makers and enjoying the energy. And the cider donuts. 😉
We’ve never met a cider donut we didn’t love! 🍎🍩 That’s such a good outlook on Rhinebeck though! We love the idea of connecting with other markers who love fiber and building community. Hope you have the best time this year!!
For knowing how much yardage to buy - I keep a knitting journal (pen and paper style) and on one page, I write down a list of all the patterns that I really want to make. I put the pattern name, yarn weight, and how much I would need for my size. This makes it really easy to reference any time I go to a yarn store or festival!
Love the podcast! I have the levitate wrap planned for this fall, and I bought yarn knowing I'd be playing yarn chicken, so thank you for the information about yarn consumption.
We love watching your podcast as well! I think you’ll be fine to play a little yarn chicken with this one! I’ll be so curious to see how it turns out for you! 🧡
hey you two! I've loved the gro hat from fiber tales since seeing it in our local yarn shop, so happy to see you make it! asking your sibling to finish an unloved wip as a gift has to be one of the best ideas ever haha, unfortunately my little brother does not knit! :D and I might have to copy erin and you guys with the potato and leek sock set, it just looks perfect and shows off the colors amazingly :) planning for flock was so much fun and I would definitely recommend plan a wishlist with patterns and yardages before attending a wooly festival or at least think about what you might like to shop for, which in and of itself is a fun activity in my books, win win ❤
You need to teach your brother to knit! ;) and please join in the sock cast on! Rachel hasn't started yet but it is such a great pattern! So maybe soon! :) We LOVED watching Chelsea and you talk about Flock and hear all about your planning for it! It is so special that this craft has brought so many people together! ❤
@@thosetwinswhoknit I think it would be easier to teach a fish how to ride a bicycle :D oh yay, I'm already looking forward to knit with that sock set some day
The drape of the alpaca will be so beautiful with the Monday Sweater!! We’re so glad other knitters appreciate the yarn barn! It’s such a gem in this area 🤍
I love hearing about the stores you shop at. I have been to Unwind a few times when I’ve visited friends in KC and also Angelika’s in Independence. Have you been there? Are there not yarn festivals in your area?
We have not been to Angelika’s yet, but we’re hoping to participate in the KC yarn crawl this year, so hopefully we will make it then! We’re not familiar with any yarn festivals in the area, but maybe overtime that will change. We can hope at least!
Love the Margaux Top. It is so cool that y'all can share a yarn stash and finish each other's projects. 🧶 I always go to fiber fests with specific projects in mind. I worked on a cardigan while watching.
I think thats what we would need to do! Have a plan going into it! :) I think we are really lucky we both found such a love for this craft and have similar styles, it makes it so easy to trade yarn! :)
I’m absolutely adoring this podcast! 💕I’m currently working on my favourite things camisole no 9 ~ first time using 3mm needles but isn’t as bad as I thought! I’m so used to 4mm and up 😂
I'm knitting a petiteknit sweater right now that wants increases on both the wrong and right sides. She tells you to do the purl side increases fairly loosely so maybe that would stop the puckering effect you are experiencing. I just discovered your podcast and can't wait for more episodes! Loving the neutral palette 🤎🤍
Ohh that is good information!! I don't know if I have the motivation to frog it, so this time I will cross fingers that blocking can do a lot of magic, but that is so helpful to know!! ❤
so happy i found your podcast! i love your style and color choices. I was curious where you got your gold charm necklace? i've been looking for a necklace like that!
Thank you! I’m not 100% sure since they had been sitting in a drawer for a long time, but most of our buttons come from Joanns or Michaels, so nothing too fancy. We’d love to find some more unique button suppliers soon!
Rachel, I love that your Christmas present was for Jessica to do the part of the knitting you don't enjoy. That is very sweet. I like your comment that you are on a summer knitting journey. I have a few summer knits that I don't wear that much and I am trying to work out what qualities in need in a summer top for me to reach for it to wear. Colour, weight, style, what other item(s) of clothing I plan to wear them with. I would like to be more thoughtful and intentional about what I am making and hopefully that will see me making things I wear more and fit my wardrobe. The tops you are wearing look gorgeous on you both.
Jessica was so nice to finish it for me 🥰 I agree, summer knitting can be tricky! I am also trying to be more intentional in my summer knits. I have found that I like tops that have a higher neckline, which was a learning process for sure! Your version of the Audrey top was beautiful!! I am getting excited about moving into fall knitting here soon and will be so excited to see what you knit up!❤
I wish I had someone who can finish my double knitting for me 😅 loved all the warm neutrals you showed in this episode - I’m in awe at how many cardigans the two of you knit, I’m only on my second one right now and feel like I always need a good long break after finishing one (and all the purling).
Lol find yourself a really nice knitting friend 😂 I feel like that could be a good knit-exchange, like I don't enjoy picking up stitches but I don't mind doing tubular bind on/off, so that could be a knitting trade idea to finish those abandoned wips 😂 and thank you so much!! I think we are in our cardigan era, I have never knit this many in a year before but there are so many good patterns out there! ❤
Hey ladies! I've now binged all of your videos (looking forward to more!), and I was wondering where you guys like to buy your linen pants. I've seen a few brands floating around IG, but wanted to know where you like to shop!
So far we’ve had good luck at Nordstrom, Madewell, and Abercrombie for linen pants, but we’d love to get to the point where we could make them ourselves one day!
I use ravelry and have my whole stash recorded so I could refer to it and calculate on the spot if I wanted to.. But honestly it's so distracting all the pretty yarn that impulse buys happened more than I intended 😂 ❤
Does anyone know of a yarn store in or close to Tyler, Tx.? We only have a Joann’s , Michaels, and Hobby Lobby. There is nothing wrong with their yarn and I do use them, but I would love to go to a yarn store. It is 105 here so knits are not real popular, but I am currently making shawls etc. Love your videos.
To the best of our knowledge, the knitting community just decided this was the terminology for this type of video. We’re not sure who started the trend, but we wondered the same thing when we started watching knitting podcasts!
I just referred to them as videos because if I can’t find a podcast to listen to on my iPhone then that’s a podcast anyway, I just wondered. Enjoy you too always wanted twins myself. Until I had two little foster kids that were basically the same age, and that definitely changed my mind about wanting to have twins, but U2 are lovely.
Loving your podcast! Just because the internet is a scary place it may be a good idea to not share so much information about where you live. I hope this isn’t taken the wrong way just want everyone to stay safe!
(This is Jess) Lesson learned, I should have read more ravelry pages before diving in. I definitely would have made more adjustments in needle size and also maybe adding an extra repeat had a known that!
"There's nothing major, just one sweater, two [pairs of] socks and a hat." 🤣Loving your podcast!
From Rachel, I am glad someone else understands what I have to live with 😂
Thank you for the shout out! It was great to meet you and your family, Rachel. We are so happy you enjoyed your visit.
I discovered your channel a short time ago and now I’m watching from the beginning. Love your knits and your joy of knitting, and sewing

Love everything you are making. The colours really suit you. Thanks for another lovely episode
You two are amazing, wonderful finished and wip’s - love both your personalities!! Great tips for me who is more beginner.
Wonderful new episode, both of you are bringing so much inspiration.
Thank you!

Unwind is such a gem! So glad you were able to make the trip! Both those patterns are so beautiful and perfect for fall knitting ☺️
Y’all are so brave making so many wearables in white! I’m always scared I will stain them 🙃
Haha the beauty of making something yourself is if something goes wrong, you can always remake it! :)
We are really lucky in the KC Metro area. Lots of great LYS options and I'm looking forward to the Yarn Crawl in a few weeks. A group of us from Unwind have experienced the Yarn Crawl in a stretch limo! So much fun!
