A LOVE 😍 and a HATE 😝 Episode 120 ~~ Chronicles of Yarnia

[@KaylaLeidholtWagemann]

I LOVE folding laundry, I HATE deciding what to cook all week 😂

[@MorningDove204]

I love sweeping my floors and hate unloading the dishwasher!

[@yolandachavez5930]

One day I'm hoping to take one of Jen's zoom classes. I love cooking but absolutely hate cleaning the stove, pots and pans.

[@lizlikestoknit]

Oooh! I'd love to see the applied border of the pokemon blanket like a ball - white on one half, red on the other, and short black sections in the middle. Edit to answer the chores question: I can wipe down surfaces (countertops, mirrors, showers, etc) for DAYS but I will leave a pile of clean laundry for 3 days to avoid folding it

[@alexandrachristiansen383]

I hate emptying the bin and cleaning bathrooms! Love rearranging the furniture and changing up things!

[@brittanyhanke]

I absolutely loathe putting laundry away, but I don't mind emptying the dishwasher because it's fast!

[@trinakurek3951]

I hate to clean the house but I love the feeling of accomplishment of having it done.

[@IvyCol1]

I love, love, love laundry. I find the act of sorting clothes really satisfying and there’s nothing like the smell of clean clothes. I absolutely loathe doing dishes and I tolerate cleaning out the refrigerator.

[@ChroniclesofYarnia]

Now i want to go do some laundry! ~K🧶

[@mendezcher]

I hate cleaning the bathtub. It’s just so awkward and I always end up spraying myself with the shower head. 😅 I don’t “love” any cleaning but washing dishes is probably the least hated chore. Thank for a great episode.

[@patriciaevans2539]

I love doing dishes. Hate planning meals and grocery shopping.😊

[@beachgirl7598]

Thanks Kathleen for the crochet tips. Household task I love? If I have to like something…vacuuming I guess. 🙄

[@nancymorgan5505]

Hi ladies. Baking, ( and eating what I bake), is my favorite “chore” and I would love to have someone else clean my bathroom weekly!

[@phyllisburke4141]

I’m pretty impressed at how you ladies can knit fast and talk. If I did that I’d have to take it all out due to mistakes.

[@ChroniclesofYarnia]

🤗🤗🤗

[@LadyOfLaMancha19]

I absolutely hate washing the dishes, and I love cooking (never anything from a box or can in my house). But what really gives me that "zen moment" is a spotless bathroom.😆 Thanks for the fun! @lamanchaknitter

[@karenmattingly362]

So lovely to spend Saturday morning watching y’all-before I go to work and deal with the hoards. 🤦‍♀️ Even though it’s my profession I still LOVE to cook. I really detest vacuuming 🤮

[@dennisdowney5217]

I love cleaning my house, I think it makes knitting more satisfying. The thing I hate is cleaning the fridge and oven, don't know why I just avoid it like the plague. Love your podcast, wish I lived near the shop. Sandy

[@jacquelinepirotta]

Hi Ladies, i love doing the dishes. I hate doing laundry because my husband complains endlessly about how i do it - so consequently i stopped about 20 years ago and he has done the laundry every since... that will teach him :)

[@carlahibbard1776]

I love doing laundry and really love cleaning the lint out of the dryer... I HATE folding and putting away the laundry.

[@maureenholian1560]

Hi Kathleen, Jen and Amanda, Thanks for another inspiring episode! Today's question = I do not like moping the kitchen floor and love ironing! Happy Knitting 🧶!

[@maryannestoner4065]

Love loading the dishwasher because it makes a quick difference in the kitchen. Hate dusting!!!!

[@ChroniclesofYarnia]

So true about the dishwasher! ~K🧶

[@Bobcatmomma]

I love cooking/baking and hate dusting. I live in an older, drafty house that always has dust.

[@shamszakhour6076]

The task I hate the MOST is taking out the garbage. This takes me a while, as I have many boxes to collapse or cut apart (for the recycling) and have to deal with the TINIEST garbage bin provided by the city. (We have 3 bins -- recycling, compost, and landfill. You can upsize the recycling and compost bins for free, but if you upsize the landfill bin they really charge you.) It takes me days to get the garbage sorted and dealt with. I'm older with a weak back and. have to do a bit at a time. My most tolerated task would be filling, running, and emptying the dishwasher. I love having clean mugs and dishware!

[@beckykerrigan9873]

I love a fresh vacuumed carpets, just creating all the neat lines is so satisfying. But mopping floors and dusting are the worst for me. I would rather clean bathrooms than mop and dust!😂😂😂😂 And those Della Q bags are amazing. All of them!

[@collinsknits4023]

I love folding laundry and hate Dusting 🎉

[@roxannesmith289]

I love cooking and experimenting with different foods. I absolutely hate folding laundry and will often leave clean unfolded laundry in a basket or even in the chair next to my bed.

[@janediamond8028]

I hate dusting but love doing laundry.

[@mairaurena4488]

I enjoy folding clothes, but not putting them away or anything to do with organizing even though I love to have everything in order; just wish someone else would do it for me 😂 Thanks for another fun podcast

[@toniabrock7677]

Dusting is the worst. I enjoy cooking and laundry. A few years my husband bought o robot vacuum and I love it. What a fun episode. Thank you. Btw love the backpack

[@trentem4023]

I LOVE my Makers and Mini Backpacks - they are often my everyday bag. Size depends on what I need to bring with me. I really do like ironing and folding laundry. I prefer 😉 not to clean up after cooking.

[@debc.345]

I really don’t mind doing household chores. If I had to pick, I really don’t love to do dishes. I really enjoy cooking, baking and organizing. Thank you for your informative podcast! I love how you explain things (opinion section). It is very helpful for those of us who are newer to knitting. THANK YOU! ❤

[@ChroniclesofYarnia]

You're welcome! 🧡🧡🧡

[@mommajessknits]

I got behind on my podcast watching, I was excited to hear I won last weeks prize. Always a pleasure watching you ladies and seeing what you are working on.

[@ChroniclesofYarnia]

Yay! Thanks for being in touch - your prize will be on the way tomorrow!

[@Knithappenswithpam]

I love all of your outfits you are wearing. This question is great. I love cooking but more so o the weekends when I have more time and I absolutely loathe every part of doing laundry.

[@annk2tog168]

Washing dishes is my favorite chore..my hands would disagree! My least favorite chore is cleaning the tub/shower! Love the knitting tips. Amanda's cardigan is beautiful!

[@marjoriesolomon4955]

I love cooking and loathe vacuuming!

[@karlalintzenich2376]

I love laundry and ironing ❤ I don’t mind cooking- simple on weeknights with leftovers and more involved on weekends but detest meal planning and grocery shopping.

[@heatherpiotrowski9396]

I love taking the garbage down to the curb. It is so peaceful. I don't like dusting. I don't pay my kids for chores. They are expected to help keep the house tidy and care for our whole living space. Also, I love food and cooking. I work on teaching my boys to cook. My 10 yr is ok with baking but my just turned 15 yr old is good at home made foccasia, grilling and makes a lovely holiday charcuterie board.

[@ChroniclesofYarnia]

Love it!!

[@christaluokkala6487]

I love sorting laundry, but I hate sorting paperwork.

[@sarahgalarza7420]

I enjoy doing laundry but hate scrubbing the shower!

[@betharner4371]

Thanks for another fun podcast. I love cooking; I hate cleaning the bathroom.

[@kimohaver6541]

I love doing laundry hate cleaning the bathroom and I’m the only person to use it 😩

[@jeanandreas3446]

Love-baking/grilling. Not my fav-folding underwear 😊

[@falafelchickpea]

I really love making challah on a Friday. I really hate cleaning the litter box.

[@jacquelinepirotta]

what an interesting conversation. I have been knitting since i was a kid and i wouldn't know how to change the way i knit my guage without making a huge mess and stressing myself out.

[@jazzyone6555]

I do granny squares the same way, love the idea of putting them on a hook!

[@ChroniclesofYarnia]

Yay! Makes it so easy to see how many you've done! ~K🧶

[@samanthagraham5387]

I secretly love: cleaning the bathroom. It's satisfying to make it sparkly. I hate: laundry- everything about it. This might be because we have to go to the laundromat

[@ChroniclesofYarnia]

Having to go to the laundromat definitely makes laundry more painful! ~K🧶

[@neelieknits382]

Such a great podcast. I was one of those people who would abandon a project if I didn’t get gauge. Thanks for the tips. I love washing dishes but hate cleaning the bathroom.

[@colleenmalleo792]

I enjoy washing dishes. I am not fond of cleaning the bathroom. I really enjoy your podcast! thanks for entertaining us!

[@ChroniclesofYarnia]

Thanks for watching!

[@star_cruiser1997]

Like baking, hate cooking meat. OK with washing dishes but dislike folding laundry, especially fitted sheets 🤪

[@kellylockwood633]

Love to do laundry- loathe cleaning bathrooms or washing dishes. thanks for a great podcast

[@kimbava8101]

Wahoo I live in Canada ! I have ordered from you a couple times an had my order delivered to the US as we are only 45 minutes from the border. Looking forwarded to be able to have shipped to my home

[@natashaonis]

I love cooking, and I hate general tidying up- we have too many things and not enough places to put them!

[@lauracarnie6652]

Enjoyed your podcast. Love creative cooking. Hate doing floors vacuuming and moping.

[@LoriParsons]

Another great episode ladies😊I love doing laundry🧺but, I really dislike mopping floors🙁

[@christinaredmond5546]

I love vacuuming and hate doing dishes.

[@TheWhitmore6]

Two most hated jobs are washing dishes and folding laundry. They are never ending. We are a cooking family. Love cooking! I have four boys and all of them cook and so does my husband. His specialty is BBQ. But I love vacuuming and making lines in the carpet. It’s like my own little zen garden. Happy Valentine’s Day!❤

[@ChroniclesofYarnia]

Love that!

[@DonnabSWfla]

Thank you for all the lovely knits. It's so inspiring to a beginner knitter. I hope to come visit during the summer months. Thanks for the Vogue Knitting update. One most hated job...cleaning the oven- the auto clean doesnt clean 100% and I hate the oven cleaner spray smell. Love rolling the towels into neat bundles, both bath towels and kitchen towels when they are warm from the dryer. Love that they look so neat. Happy Valentines Day!

[@ChroniclesofYarnia]

🧡🧡🧡

[@dianabarber8656]

One of favorite chores is cooking/baking, the other would be vacuum. The one truly dislike is washing dishes.

[@my-mysknitsaloon]

Love everything about you ladies 💝

[@ChroniclesofYarnia]

🧡🧡🧡

[@kathleenschlappal3421]

I enjoy the satisfaction I gain from most clearning tasks especially enjoy doing dishes. One task I would readily give up/dislike is cleaning the bathroom. Thanks for another great episode and covering a wide range of topics 😊

[@thekindles1183]

I love successfully stacking the dishwasher, and I'm hating all the laundry. lol! Looking forward to test knitting the vest, Amanda! I loved all the laughter and commentary on kids, etc. - All the best, Kimberly

[@donaldsneider2560]

I like cleaning the kitchen and i loathe dusting. Your podcast was excellent. I get such good ideas from you, and enjoy hearing about your experiences.. Kathleen in Wisconsin

[@ChroniclesofYarnia]

We're so glad!

[@TheMassagequeen001]

I absolutely love cooking ❤but hate cleaning the tub, toilet and dusting in general 😒

[@bobpatience7947]

Thank you for another wonderful podcast. I hate washing the windows, but I love folding the laundry and putting it away.

[@DoSoKnits]

I love vacuuming, I hate cleaning bathrooms (the hair everywhere, droves me mad 😅)

[@sheilaw1273]

I like doing laundry, but hate folding and put away. Thanks for showing us all the great products and pattern knits

[@Marielm1]

Love doing the linens laundry. Sheets, towels, bedding. Hate dusting.

[@JanetDoucette]

I always love that you all actually knit while you talk... I am so mesmerized by the knitting, I love it!!! I secretly love putting clean sheets on the bed!!! I loathe washing windows... it is just a frustrating process... I have finished my first knitted dishcloth, it is not perfect, but I am not surprised or upset with it!!! I'm learning to knit my first sock, I realize I am too tight with some of my stitches, it seems in the beginning and the end... the middle of the round is looser, so we shall see what this sock will look like!

[@jenniferscott2955]

Love your podcast! Can't wait for Amanda's vest pattern! I hate cooking - it always puts me in such a grumpy mood. I don't mind doing laundry - washing, folding, and ironing 😊

[@lynnek3587]

I love to organize/purge while cleaning. I also love yard work. I hate cooking - but love baking😂. Love seeing all your projects!

[@lynnekelly9995]

I love to maintain my hot tub, cuz I love my hot tub. I hate to clean up after I cook. I went to cooking school 40 years ago and there was staff that cleaned up after us and so I use all the dishes and many spoons for tasting. I confess, I am the worst, but it’s most often me that pays the price and cleans up after myself🤦🏻‍♀️.

[@jazzyone6555]

Love going the laundry and cooking! The Downy scent beads have such a comforting smell! I hate mopping the floors. It just feels like a never-ending task that can't necessarily be scheduled. 😢

[@Thehighfiberdiet]

I love putting furniture together. Give me the ikea. I hate folding laundry.

[@annevolkman4189]

I love ironing, but hate dusting! Thank you so much for another great episode! Thoroughly enjoy every one!

[@ChroniclesofYarnia]

Thanks so much!

[@jazzyone6555]

A squirrel 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@katecoyle5623]

Kathleen your sweater is fabulous! It looks amazing in the video I can only imagine what it looks like in person! Love you gals! Wish I lived closer! Thanks for another fun podcast! ❤👏🏻🧶

[@ChroniclesofYarnia]

Thank you so much!!

[@smartinez419]

I have no problem washing, drying, and folding laundry but I absolutely DESPISE putting it away

[@janetmelenchuk8484]

I love to bake bread , pastries and filled cookies but I hate doing all the dishes afterwards.

[@samanthagraham5387]

I just lea.rned Tunisian crochet, but was a dumby and decided my first proper project should be a 3 color baby blanket. I made a practice swatch before and dove on in. I just need to finish the border and weave in like 180 ends now

[@ChroniclesofYarnia]

That's a lot of ends! 🥺

[@tammymaddox-xb4dn]

I enjoy vacuuming, it is peaceful to me. I hate cleaning the bathroom.

[@shelleycraft4273]

I love cooking and baking, though I don't have as much time for it as I would like. I don't mind doing laundry, but I loathe washing the tub/shower.

[@KarinCreations]

I enjoy washing dishes but hate putting them away

[@janhatfield76]

On the subject of housework, I love to do laundry because I hang my clothes out on the clothesline to dry, summer and winter. The thing I don't enjoy is washing dishes.

[@ChroniclesofYarnia]

Love that!

[@tracyshafer-kachel224]

I love cooking, especially soups. I hate cleaning bathrooms (showers, sinks, toilets, ughhhh). But I appreciate a clean bathroom, so a cleaning I will go.

[@ChroniclesofYarnia]

That's pretty much me on bathrooms as well - don't love to do them, but really appreciate them once done. ~K🧶

[@StephanieThompson-w5t]

Love cooking. I hate cleaning the kitchen after cooking.

[@ChroniclesofYarnia]

In our house the rule is, whoever cooks does not have to clean - the others who enjoyed the meal get to clean 😊 ~K🧶

[@phyllisbendet2602]

I’ve always enjoyed cooking and still do. But cleaning……. Hate it all!!! I’d rather be knitting❤

[@Blaize24]

I hate doing dishes and would trade absolutely any other chore for them (Decades ago I would trade my mom doing the litter box for doing dishes). I enjoy polishing wood furniture. I have a Maker's Backpack in Mustard and cannot recommend it highly enough. I use it aaaallll the time as my daily carry.

[@joanie9258]

I don’t mind washing dishes, loading and unloading dishwasher. I don’t like to vacuum. I like to see accomplishments and I don’t see that when I vacuum.

[@ILS986]

I guess loading the dishwasher isn’t terrible. Lately vacuuming has become the worst

[@teenacarter7282]

I actually love vacuuming but hate dusting! We live on a dirt street and I just don’t see the point! Id much rather knit!

[@helenek228]

Love laundry. Hate floors.

[@meghankelley6244]

I run my family’s small business in Arkansas and shipping internationally is a nightmare! Canada does ok, but if we ship anywhere in Europe, it takes our customers months to receive their package 😢

[@denisebeggs1930]

Hello ladies! I love to vacuum & washing clothes, and do not like to cook or do bathrooms.

[@jodiethington245]

I love to cook but HATE to dust.

[@brendameyers8440]

Love to vacuum but hate to dust! I have a question about last episode and the discussion you had about spinning out excess water from blocked projects in order to dry them faster. Do you spin garments that contain mohair or are made out of non super wash yarn? I’m always afraid they will felt. Thanks!

[@ChroniclesofYarnia]

I definitely spin the water out of non-superwash projects - I just fold them carefully and use the gentle spin cycle on my washer. I check them every couple of minutes or so, but haven't had a problem. I don't think the centrifugal force of a washer is the same as agitation that will cause felting. ~K🧶

[@EllenZotti]

I like doing laundry and dislike cleaning the shower.

[@Whenlifegivesyoulemonscrochet]

Thank you for being so inspiring. Always trying and learning great motto! I did not catch the name of the Tunisian crochet hooks set. Did anyone catch it and can provide it?

[@ChroniclesofYarnia]

The set is by Lykke - I've just added them to our website! ~K🧶

[@Whenlifegivesyoulemonscrochet]

@@ChroniclesofYarnia thank you.

[@nikbleu32]

I enjoy cooking but I don’t like laundry. I’ve been batch cooking for years so I’m all about leftovers. I really only have time to cook and then eat the food on the weekend. As my son gets older (he’s 2), that will change and I’ll shift to cooking dinner during the week. I’ve got laundry down to once a month and my partner does laundry the other week(s).

[@ChroniclesofYarnia]

Yay leftovers! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@_KarenS]

Laundry is a two-sided coin in this household. I love the satisfaction of an empty linen bin. My husband, however, doesn't like the way I fold clothes. So I tell him to do his own. Inevitably that means the nice clean clothes of his hang around for weeks. Rude. Doing the floors is always fun - the rooms look so big afterward. Cleaning the bathroom has its own special rule: if you clean it, you get to have the first shower in the freshly cleaned bathroom. Too bad that it's usually me that cleans the bathroom...

[@tracisumner251]

Love ....hand washing dishes are satisfying and washing laundry is horrible. I will fold it and put it away, everyone else can wash

[@cecy354]

What happened with the lights???
