Thank you for another wonderful video! I also find that knitting is so calming. My mom is in a rehab facility after a hospital stay and daily visits can be stressful at times but knitting on a sock really helps calm me and be more patient with her. Love seeing all the WIPs!

[@deniseengel1451]

Beautiful knits you are wearing. I love you have so many WIPS Diana! Healing prayers for your mother.

[@SoulfulSpinning]

I am a first time viewer thanks to Amber. So many pretty projects you shared! 🥰You ladies are so easy to listen to, very soothing to my spirit. Take care and happy knitting. 💕 Love, Lisa

[@alecsgirl]

I was so delighted to discover that I had gotten distracted about five minutes in to this podcast last week,and now I have TWO podcasts to catch up on whilst I knit this afternoon! Also, Kaity, your Illuminate is gorgeous! Now I want to knit one…

[@hollysweany4234]

Another fun episode. I went to SIFAF in Corydon Indiana last Friday. I got some beautiful yarn. I buy my notebooks from 5 Below. I’ve found lots of sizes and even some with graph paper. 🧶❤️

[@carolerath1129]

Oh Diana I’m sending positive thoughts to you and your mom. I know it can be so stressful when our parents are struggling. You ladies are beautiful knitters and I love watching your podcast. Thank you

[@mymakingadventure]

Kaity, I heard Amanda from birch and lily talked about knitting the ribbing inside out. She does a German short row turn on the last stitch of the round before rubbing. Her example (and what I tried) was going from the stockinette sleeve to the ribbing, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work the other way! You should try it! Thanks for taking time to share your knits with us!

[@BrendaBeckett-ob8wf]

I cast off my Ilha while watching you both. It’s a great pattern.

[@tacistudio]

I think I watched that podcast also and I think it was Tash from Mostly Knititng. She said we can do a German short row to twist the direction and your ribbing will be on the on it side. I have not done that yet but I’m excited to try on a sweater I’m working g in right now to see if it works. Another great episode 💖

[@thefruitfulhands]

Thank you for the tip! I’ll definitely be trying that! - Kaity

[@marilynharlow8720]

Thanks for your honesty in projects!! I’m new to knitting after a 20 plus year vacation

[@kimfletcher7013]

Hello from the UK. I would love to knit the The Field Sweater but I've only ever knitted bottom up garments. I have bought the ranunculus pattern but have yet to start it. I really enjoy your podcasts. It's great to see what you are knitting at this time of the year.

[@susansmith3264]

Hi Ladies! So good to see you! I’ve seen some good notebooks (just plain, not knitting related) at stores like TJMaxx, Ross, Marshall’s. They are usually 4.00-5.00, have pretty covers and the paper is thicker than just a regular spiral notebook.

[@thefruitfulhands]

Thanks for sharing!! - Kaity

[@susiesparkesactor]

Tash from Mostly Knitting has just done a KZbin tutorial for switching your ribbing to the reverse side. Your Ranunculus KAL gave me the oomph I needed to pick it up again. I have ripped back the ribbing twice ‘cos the wool I’m using is really plump and squishy, which is gorgeous but in rib it adds extra bulk that I don’t need! 🤣 I’ve ended up just doing extra stockinette and doing an icord bind off. Just recently discovered your podcast and really enjoy it! Cheers from Australia 😃🧶

[@Mystic.breeze]

Another fab episode to inspire us knitters. Thank you ❤

[@mynorthknitcorner]

Thank you for a wonderful episode🥰 So many beautiful knits😍 Kaity, You can do a double stitch, like you do for the german shortrows to turn your work when you flip it inside out. Wishing you both a blessed week🧡

[@thefruitfulhands]

Thank you so much for the tip! I’ll definitely be doing that! - Kaity

[@lindapayne9474]

Another fun and informative episode! Yes, I just frogged one yesterday to start over. I just was not liking my fabric so using a larger needle and adjusting the size of my garment.

[@joannemoseley8994]

So many beautiful yarns and beautiful patterns! So fun to watch you two. You are one of the videos I click on right away when I see there is a new one up! ❤

[@paulam.5785]

I think it was Helle who talked about it. She just did a short row to reverse directions. Good luck.

[@carolynlambert6989]

G’day Diane & Kaity, ooooh don’t you love Juniper Farm yarn I recently used a skein in my stash in my first ‘Sophie Scarf’ and it’s so deliciously soft and snuggly. A joy to knit through your fingers 👍. Thank you Diane for knit journal tip thicker paper and ring binder 👏👏👏👏🇦🇺

[@labraknit]

I love a twisted rib as it pulls the knit stitches in nicely. Ktbl, p if doing it in the round

[@lauracarnie6652]

Professor purl has a tutorial on alternating skeins that looks simple and effective.

[@stephaniebenson2501]

I admire your relationship and all of your knitting. What blessings!

[@joanie9258]

Y’all are so enjoyable to watch! You both are so fortunate to have each other that enjoy the same hobby.

[@lanaparker293]

I’m glad I’m not the only one who is okay with frogging things. My husband thinks I’m crazy when I do that.😂

[@agillsfo]

Hey you wonderful ladies!! I just looked on Amazon and see spiral journal and I think they have what you want!! Hugs!❤

[@thefruitfulhands]

Oh thank you!!!! ❤❤ We’ll have to check it out!! - Kaity

[@phyllisburke4141]

I frog a lot. Sometimes I knit something just to learn something and then frog it. Honestly I

[@teresabenson7759]

Another great chat❤

[@klaskelangford8324]

I wonder if you slipped the first stitch and then knit it on the second round? Similar to jogless stripes? Love you ladies?

[@graceyj7996]

Kaity - could you share the color of the sock yarn you shared and the Etsy shop name? Thanks!

[@thefruitfulhands]

Yes! The shop is MarumaYarns and the yarn is Filcolana Arwetta colorway Marzipan or 977. ☺️❤️

[@graceyj7996]

@@thefruitfulhands thanks!

[@alovelyyarn]

You do a German short row to get reversed, and then you will be working your ribbing inside out!

[@triplesss7229]

Yes. It’s just like a short row.

[@Cindy_L]
