Fantastic episode

[@papdevaney]

Another great episode by my favorite knitting sisters! The charity knitting piece bought tears to my eyes. My best friend passed away after battling breast cancer to 32 years. ANY charity that supports those ladies at such a trying time of their lives has my support and love. Well done, ladies!

[@teridecaprio]

I've been watching you girls since Episode 1 of the GG, and am so thrilled with your success. You ladies are everything that's right with knitting podcasts in general - fun, uplifting, inspiring, humor, non-political (I particularly appreciate that), and generosity! I'm your biggest fan in Texas! You should think about doing a knitting retreat in Denver - I bet it would be a huge hit and crazy fun!

[@jennywalther8777]

I love your charity work. My mother-in-law got her second diagnosis of breast cancer this year and the first action of mine was searching for a suitable pattern for a heartpillow which helps her while sleeping or sitting in front of the TV. It was really easy to crochet and also a therapy for myself. She loves it and I love it that there are also so many other projects that can help people with any kind of cancer. Your doing a great Job ❤

[@stephaniefricke7679]

Slow TV....yes!! I love it and I do watch. So very relaxing. I'm going to go watch the knitting ones again right now!

[@kteese8]

Hello Girls, Loved the idea of knitting for charity. Recently my son in law was going through cancer treatment and one of the things he found great was a hand knitted cotton wash cloth. Cheers

[@judithnault1638]

Thank you for all your joy. I crochet octopus for preemies babies in quebec. The name of the group is petites pieuvres quebec. It is so fun to give back with our passion. Keep the good work.

[@patriciasalani1903]

Judith Nault looking Looking for some website to get yarn.

[@bozviolin]

You two are my knit therapy. You make my day every time. Love the tips. I help teach a yarn club of middle schoolers in knit or crochet. Last winter we made hats and scarves for our special Olympic group. We also help our local cancer treatment center here too. As a survivor myself I know the benefit is much appreciated.

[@thebrainwa91]

My favorite relaxing knitting project is a blanket for myself. It's my 3rd project ever but it's just a simple rib stitch and I just throw some tv or youtube on and go for it. Super relaxing.

[@hanavax]

Hey, I love both of you and I do not even knit. I found your videos that I was looking for videos to create duffle blankets. You're wonderful, and I enjoy watching you. You are wonderful. Maybe a day will come and I'll start knitting, I embroider, I love the monotonous and repetitive act LOVE YOU

[@amandalarson1819]

I am a Knitter Knocker maker!!! Love making them!! I was just telling my KAL group today at my LYS about you videos. Keep up the good work!!

[@nataliesheldon4518]

Good afternoon beautiful ladies. Have you guys ever considered making a ravelry project page for Off our Needles? You share so many fabulous patterns and you seem to have samples of them all. Kind of like a photo album of show notes. I know it would be a tonne of work, but boy would people ever use it, I think. Great episode, once again.

[@amysmith5863]

Natalie Sheldon they have 2 groups.....Off our needles and grocery girls! Just look under groups....❤️

[@ellenfloyd576]

My knitting group is knitting scarves for special Olympics for 2018 winter games. Actually some of the athletes came to my alpaca farm and asked me to knit them some scarves

[@UniquelyPenny]

As I watch this, I'm knitting for charity. 2017 is my year of charity. Doing premie hats, hats for the homeless, keychains, and cup cozies.

[@masuganut2082]

Chocolate pocket!! Hell yeah!!!

[@ozzygirl098]

Here in Winnipeg MB Canada we have a charity called "Chase the Chill Away Winnipeg" where we knit nothing but beautiful scarfs to be donated to homeless people in shelters. It's awesome and I love knitting scarfs! Happy knitting everyone! Oh they have a Facebook Page if you wish to check it out. Just type in Chase the chill away Winnipeg.

[@barbaraamping5659]

Love Jodie and Tracie ! I need a new grocery girls episode

[@chadroberts7099]

I knit and crochet for a charity in my area. I am currently knitting and crocheting chemo hats and blankets. I can't wait to donate them!!😊😊

[@stephaniefricke7679]

Wow! Funny you should mention charity knitting. I just knotted a couple of hats from Knots of Love website for my cousin who just started chemo last week for cancer all over her body. As I read everything on their website, I was in awe of how organized they are and all the patterns available. I like that they encourage to donate for the free pattern. And, last but not least, LOOOOOVE YOU GALS!

[@CraftsyYouTube]

Lots of love to your cousin! Very thoughtful of you to help out the cause, Stephanie. Knitters rock 🙌

[@PattymacMakes]

Fun show as always!! I wish you had shown how to bring the ends of the cowl together. I understand the provisional CO and the concept of grafting the ends, but I can't put it together in my head how you graft a tube of stockinette together. And how do you weave in the ends when you're done? I have seen other patterns that do this technique and I have never knitted them, because I just don't understand how to do the last bit of finishing. Craftsy, can you please do a tutorial on this part of the project? I have not seen a video out there that covers this part. Thank you!!! Wonderful charities. My dear best friend died 7 years ago of breast cancer so I'm only too familiar with what patients go through.

[@alixbetts]

Hey Pattymac Knits, the technique to graft the two live ends together is called the Kitchener stitch.

[@PattymacMakes]

Thanks Alix!! I understand that part, but how do you put the two ends together? It's hard for me to visualize. And how to do you weave in the ends if you're sewing it shut and the wrong side is sealed off inside? I just can't figure that part of it out.

[@DianeHughes]

Knitted knockers is a great charity. I had a lumpectomy so one of my breasts is smaller than the other. With a knitted knocker, I can take out some of the filling to make a prostheses that looks natural. It's not only for people with complete mastectomies. Hope this helps.

[@emiduke8765]

I loved the Norwegian Slow Knitting! I watched the whole sheep to sweater competition last year and even though I didn't understand what the women were saying, I still felt like I was part of the group and got a whole lot of knitting done as well! :)

[@brendanash4049]

One great Charity is The Magic Yarn Project. These are princess yarn wigs for kids who have lost their hair from cancer.

[@sallyrath2295]

So love the catalog I received in the mail, after buying a couple of your online classes- you guys are the best and can't wait to watch all the episodes!

[@judeemcmahan4280]

I make these monsters all the time! My sons friends love to get them for their birthday! Im actually working on one now lol. It's my favorite go to book 😊

[@dianneross2801]

Thanks for the great provisional cast on tutorial. 👍😘

[@stephenpisarcik5828]

Thank You Very Much! 🧶

[@cdholland98]

Provisional cast-on was wonderfully explained!!!

[@denisebarry5876]

Socks for Soldiers is a great charity to knit for.

[@sandykoenig1666]

I really enjoyed this segment. Thank you for all the ideas.

[@jeanniedavison9337]

Another great episode!

[@kitsala1]

Thanks girls. I'm involved with Socks for Soldiers, it goes to our Military overseas.

[@susanwingblade1799]

I love you guys--one of my very favorite PC's.

[@joanmachado9063]

Great podcast thanks🤗

[@jackiewiggins4188]

Ladies! I love your enthusiasm! It is like you are sports casters .... except you are knit casters! LOL I'm a fan of you being such a fan of knitting!

[@masuganut2082]

Project Linus! The red scarf project!!

[@TammyPowley]

I recommend Streetknits, a group who donates handknit items to the homeless. They have a Facebook page.

[@barbaraphillips5640]

Hi ladies love your podcast I have a bad time keeping the stitches I try so hard if there's a lot more then a socks I am 74 I was to long needles I like circular needles better thank so much

[@2tilley2]

You could look at octopus for preemie's US and UK they are on facebook

[@JanKellis]

I love your videos! Have you ever tried Portuguese knitting? I learned that technique from a Craftsy class and it really reduces hand fatigue.

[@WandaCasamento59]

I'm thinking of joining that class also . I heard that the Portuguese knitting is the fastest. I'm new but if I'm doing a scarf or something I would like to go faster. I do the English one but thanks to KZbin I was able to learn the Continental - but I tend to go back to the English - So I have to reteach myself to stay in practice. I love how Stacy from Very Pink here on KZbin knits (I think it's a German style knitting she has shown how to do it but, I need to practice it more it just isn't that easy to pick up - happy knitting thanks for advising on that class

[@kleopatra_editz7864]

I love you jodi and Tracie

[@Firestormlover]

Velcro pocket closures? Hissss boooooo.... !!! Love the bag otherwise, but I'd pick out those closures immediately.

[@susanwood1195]

Great item on charity knitting. I am in uk and support knit for peace.- they distribute knitted items, needles and yarn to various parts of the world . It was started to bring communities together throuh knitting & crochet. So check them out.

[@cocbrool]

What about blankets/toys for the ASPCA? Would they be able to use something like that for the furbabies?

[@elenagary3379]

Jodi Love the scarf (white) you wore during this episode. What is the pattern and what yarn did you use? Another great episode...thanks.

[@WandaCasamento59]

IKR , I was hoping she was going to show it to us as one of the ones that they were mentioning to be therapeutic

[@CraftsyYouTube]

It's called Hot Oatmeal - pattern + yarn here! craftsy.me/2uFosgT

[@yvonnesanders5925]

Jodi I love ❤️ that shawl/scarf you are wearing! May I ask what pattern it is?

[@micaelagonzalez8978]

deberian subtitular los videos! serian mucho mas faciles de ver. hermoso lo que hacen

[@Carol-Bell]

Usted puede click en "settings" (bajo del video, proxima a la derecha de "cc") puede click en "subtitles off" para hacerlo "on". Entonces click en "auto translate" y cuando vea una lista, puede coger la idioma que quiere. Entonces puede tener subtitulos. No son perfectos, pero es algun ayuda para entender que ellas dicen. Espero que he escribido los instrucciones ok, y que ayuda a usted. Yo lo uso cuando veo un canal en Aleman.

[@jessiehickerson47]

Your mugs... I love them! Where did you girls get them?

[@judymahala8659]

What is the name of the shawl and yarn Jodie has one? I love it!

[@hisalone7166]

The charity links are not working for me. I was mostly interested int the squares for Africa. Blessings! Beverly

[@fabulousmarilyn3.088]

Hey ladies, how are you guys. Soo I always watch because I love to and the yarn is so pretty and expensive. My question today is what yarn/yarns could I use for a shawl that drapes well and pretty that's affordable and for socks also. What can you girls recommend for folks who can't afford the expensive yarn. and still get nice shawls that drapes well and socks that can fit in your shoes thatss cute

[@kaileygreenwood4909]

Marilyn Kolako I would suggest looking at the fiber type of yarn and getting something similar from knitpicks. It's pretty affordable

[@penzer2010]

Hello, I love watching you two sisters. I have a few questions. First, I never knit a sweater and I hate doing cables. I think because my tension is off when I do them. One side of the cable looks neat and the other side the stitches after the cable look stretched out. Could you chose to do this sweater without the cables? Second, I have narrow shoulders and very wide hips. The classic pear shape. Can you knit the pattern following the stitches for size medium for the hip area and then decrease to size small at the neckline? (not my actual size). Because of my shape, my shirts always fall off one shoulder and my bra straps are always sticking out. I would love to make a sweater that actually fits my contrary shape. Also, would it be hard to figure out how to combine the two sizes? Thank you for your help.

[@CassieDA17]

Do you have links for the two shawls mentioned; Swedish lines shawl and Sisal shawl?

[@janistaylor3427]

I am a beginner and love your podcast. I am not sure where to find beginning patterns that I want to make. Where do I start?

[@michellemiller3042]

Janis Taylor do you know about www.ravelry.com? Amazing social community of knitters, crocheters, designers.

[@terryhickman7929]

I'd like to start with their first OON episode but the videos don't seem to be organized, and their titles aren't uniform and easy to find so I can watch them in order. Am I overlooking something really obvious?

[@rasstork]

Is there a pattern for the turquoise and coral cowl.

[@kaytidixon7085]

How many rows did you knit tracie on the aran colour and black shawl

[@heatherstewart7131]

I miss the grocery girls podcast!

[@lesliegould7903]

I'm consumed with charity knitting....but my all time favorite is Project Linus. There are Chapters all over the world. We make cuddle blankets for children who need a "hug"... I'm associated with Airdrie Project Linus...if you need more information feel free to message us at [e-mail] or follow us on Facebook to get inspired.

[@ilmaba1756]

Hate to tell you but, the Slow TV Knitting Evening isn't new, it was on TV 4 years ago originally .

[@melaneemortensen3971]

ilma ba Some of us have not heard of them, do it was news to me!😊

[@ilmaba1756]

Should also check out The Great Knit Off, on Danish TV a couple of years ago. Some of the episodes on youtube have English subtitles. :) (Vithard Villumsen, Arne and Carlos were some of the judges.)
