My favorite vlogmas is Finnish Knitting Stories.

[@danamiller1310]

Some of my favorites knit peps to watch are Two purls in a pod and Those twins who knit. Love you Ladies as well ❤

[@carolynlambert6989]

G’day again, another wonderful time with you both, seasons greetings from the land down under 🇦🇺🎄⭐️🎄⭐️🎄⭐️

[@tacistudio]

So nice to see you again. I love all your knits and your advents are so exciting. So glad your mom is feeling better and you got to see her 🙏🏼💖🎄🎅🏼

[@graceyj7996]

So glad you are making your Christmas plans with family and knitting too! I am watching Vlogmas from the Crazy Sock Lady and A Homespun House and love them both. Can’t wait to see the kiddos’ Christmas socks!

[@CeeCeeCrafts]

Hi ladies. I missed the premier because I was working. I’m watching part of the podcast while I eat my lunch. Love your podcast. ❤❤❤❤ Pretty sweaters. ❤

[@CherylAM]

Merry Christmas to all of your family and loved ones! All of Gods blessings to you and safe travels for the family.

[@AHandKnitLetter]

I always enjoying hanging out with you ladies.

[@alisonfoster7566]

I really enjoy your podcast. Your are both so encouraging to me. Thank you for sharing your time with we knitters. Hope you and yours have a very Merry Christmas‼️🙏🏻

[@mywonderfulknittinglife]

I love April Cornell and often pair my knits with their dresses. So nice to catch up with you again. Love your podcast. Best wishes from My Wonderful Knitting Life Podcast!

[@cwanlin128]

I just love watching you two. I know I keep saying the same thing, but you are both truly blessed to have a knitting companion who is family! In fact, it sounds like you have lots of family nearby to celebrate the holidays with. How wonderful for you all!! I love your grandson's red sweater, Diana, and Kaity, that pink sweater is adorable!! I am amazed, however, that you don't swatch!! As for Vlogmas podcasts, I have been watching Knit, Sip, Happy and For the Fun of Knit. Have a fabulous Christmas!!

[@lorikoury120]

Hello ladies! Thank you for a sweet, enjoyable video. Your Christmas knits are amazing! Your time together will be wonderful. Thank you, Caity, for showing the Rosa cardigan pattern. I have been looking for an easy cardigan for the little girls in my life. I ran to Ravelry to buy the pattern immediately after you showed your WIP. ❤ Merry Christmas to you all! 🎄

[@carolroy5435]

Hi! 👋 I ordered Sweet Skein 'o Mine advent a few years back and knit the Among The Clouds wrap with them. I wear it in my "co-host" segments from the barn. Can highly recommend it!

[@lindajohnson9155]

Great video. I get so excited to see what y'all are going to pull out of your bags next that I find myself just holding my knitting and not actually knitting! I love vlogmas videos. My favorite is "Back to Blighty" a lovely knitter who has a house bunny. And of course "The Crazy Sock Lady". "Toad Hollow/the Crafty Toads" New Jersery sisters who dye yarn are giving each other books for advent. My to-read pile is growing. Some favorite non-Advent KZbinrs are "Those Twins Who Knit" and "Edible Thoughts Makes"

[@sabinebauerle7655]

Merry Christmas to you and your whole family. It’s always so much fun watching your podcast, soothing and inspirational, thanks for that.

[@thefruitfulhands]

Thank you, Sabine! I hope you had a lovely holiday season.

[@wendybond9374]

So excited to have found you! My oldest daughter is in Jeffersonville, just south of Mt. Sterling. I’m in Washington State, where she was raised along with her 13 siblings :) Sounds like you all have a big family too. I’m also on my 24th grandbaby. My daughters aren’t really into fiber arts but some of my granddaughters are, which is fun. I love that you can enjoy knitting and podcasting together ❤ I’m interested to hear more about your farm. I’m on 9 acres and have a flock of sheep along with some chickens, goats, pigs, and a milk cow. My daughter is on 24 acres and is has Angus, and is getting some Highlanders . I’m going to start in on your first episode and work my way through them. Currently I’m knitting socks for my husband and have some gnomes to knit for some granddaughters before Christmas.

[@Golden.5555]

Love your sweaters guys

[@jeanned1240]

Wait! ( @21:44) you CAN watch a podcast and have Kint Companion open at the same time . I’m doing it right this minute! 😊 Bless! Thank you for a sweet, newsy podcast, I love tuning in. Jeanne D

Merry December ladies!!

[@fancypants6697]

I don’t know if anyone already told you, but on your iPad you can split the screen in half to see 2 different things at the same time by tapping on the 3 dots at the top center of your screen then you choose the other thing you want to watch at the same time.

[@OllieandMay]

[@132Chichi]

Hello from Munich ❤

[@hollysweany4234]

Your podcasts are so fun. I watched while doing the sleeves on my Ranunculus. Merry Christmas to you all 🎄

[@amandaanderson6242]

Lovely podcast I always enjoy watching what you two are making. Have you ever tried adding vinegar to the water when you wash yarns that tend to bleed. I’m not sure if it works for superwash but it bonds the dye to non superwash yarns. Give it a try, have a wonderful holiday season.

[@ashleyforest94]

slip slip ging!!! watch him. he's great

[@patriciahall8733]

Wash the red sweater in a vinegar solution, that will usually stop the bleeding.

[@claudiacampa4774]

Happy to join and will watch while taking care of my grand baby.

[@suzieqknitz3118]

Something I wanted to let you know because I love MCN (Merino Cashmere Nylon) yarn! Magpie has always been one of my faves too! BUT the issue is I’ve learned from experienced knitters that the softer the yarn the more it will pill :( so superwash MCN yarns are going to pill. That’s what I’ve been told. (I still love it lol)!

[@thefruitfulhands]

I’ve heard the same thing, Suzie. My superwash sweaters definitely pill more than my natural ones do. Thank goodness for Gleaners! ~D

[@nancymcguire7183]

I am so happy I get to see this premiere. Enjoy both of you so much!!

[@joanhoward2710]

I so enjoy your podcasts. If you haven’t already, check out Woolly Winer Countdown. Jana of Purl Together and Ann of I Thought I Knew How team up for a great Advent during December. My spelling may be wrong on Ann or is it Anne?

[@shelleyjwilliams]

Hi y’all! Finally getting to see a premiere. Loving it. Merry Christmas to you and happy new year!

[@EvieBear236]

I missed the premier this morning but am enjoying your podcast as I eat lunch. I would be surprised if the neckline on your grandson's sweater is too small. It looks just right. Are you finding the Mariechen Cardigan relatively easy to knit or is it a pattern for a more advanced knitter? Have a Merry Christmas with your family.

[@jerrileslie6992]

Hi Diana I love your red ranunculus it's beautiful. I have been wanting to make one in worsted weight yarn. I have one question, do you still, or did you, use a size 10 needle. Just love your podcast. I look forward to seeing you and Katie. 🧶🧶🧶

[@stringsattached336]

Hi I watch your podcast all the time and really enjoy you both and your knits are so pretty I bought worsted yarn to make a ranunculus sweater. I am a med to large size. How do I adjust the pattern to fit me with this weight of yarn. Maybe you have already explained this info. I did watch all the beautiful sweaters on your kal My daughter and I also have a mother/daughter KZbin podcast string’s attached. I am gonna go back and watch more of your ranunculus episodes

[@thefruitfulhands]

Thank you so much for watching. I just used a needle size down and used all the same numbers as in the pattern. The wonderful thing about the Ranunculus is you can try it on as you go and it’s a quick knit. Happy Knitting! ~D
