Ep. 24: I'm a cowl girl now! - 2024 Podcast // Rachel is Knitting

[@Sandy-lq9xe]

Wearing the cowl as a hood REALLY displays the cables! It's lovely. 🙂

[@janetshepherd9062]

I love your sense of humor! And of course all you knit! And your trips are so fun to watch!

[@rachelisknitting]

Thank you so much!

[@Creative_Yarnoholic]

I’m the same way, I want to see the person happy that they are getting this gift. Not just because I made it for them, but because I thought of them the entire time I made it.

[@elizabethwright7413]

Absolutely gorgeous color, looks good on you with your coloring!😎

[@rachelisknitting]

Thank you so much!

[@thebuzzybumblebee15]

I’ve been watching you for about 3 weeks now, and I suddenly have the urge to make something in lilac purple. It’s contagious!

[@rachelisknitting]

Ha! Resistance is futile! 💜💜💜

[@EvanKnitsThings]

So glad things are just all going your way! You deserve it girl! California sweater looks amazing!!

[@rachelisknitting]

Thank you so much Evan!

[@CraftyTash]

What a lovely kind person to support you by buying you a gimble.

[@rachelisknitting]

I agree!

[@purple-stitches]

That sweater looks dreamy.

[@bethpaschal7859]

You make me smile! ❤️🧶

[@MelissaMulticrafty]

Love cowls and def can’t wait to get my hands on that pattern, the cables are perfection! Also…that Knitcalifornia sweater is fantastic! I can’t wait for that pattern release, the fabric is just gorgeous! Thank you for the “permission” to put down projects that aren’t speaking to us at the moment. I need to hear that repeatedly, and especially recently. ❤

[@rachelisknitting]

Thanks Melissa! I think you'll eat this cowl pattern right up!

[@Katheverett]

I’m already a cowl girl, and even a snood girl! I made a simple, long tube out of fabulous yarn, and it was so nice as both a cowl and a hood!

[@rachelisknitting]

I need to try a snood then!!

[@carolynhannah8757]

Can hardly wait for the cowl pattern to be released. Great for Christmas gifts.

[@rachelisknitting]

Yes definitely!

[@gemineyyy]

Rachel you make me laugh so much I LIIIIIVE for these podcasts ❤️ I so struggle with trying to not tell the person I’m gift knitting for happy knitting 💕

[@rachelisknitting]

Omg that makes me so happy! And yes keeping the surprise is SO difficult!

[@knotthequeen]

Rachel it's always such a joy to see your videos, especially your sense of humour! I think you are bringing me over to the 'cowl' side. Excited to see the stabilized Ireland footage when it comes out. Perhaps a little test video before then :)

[@rachelisknitting]

Thank you! Good idea for a test video ahead of time!

[@AnneWiley-vp5rj]

Your hand held camera work in Scotland was artistic like cinema verite ;). Seriously, congrats on the lovely gift.

[@rachelisknitting]

Thank you! I’m excited!

[@noelleparris9451]

I cannot tell you how much I enjoy listening to you, you're so funny 😄 The cowl is very pretty and I look forward to the pattern release. I like making them for gifts 😊 And your cardi looks great! The color stands out nicely over that dress 👍🏾

[@rachelisknitting]

Thank you so much!

[@sandiemullin2304]

I found your channel via your Shetland series. My husband and I went in May 2024 and I am obsessed with the place. I loved your series and your positive energy (and, yes, even the shaky footage) so I checked your “regular” episodes. I’m a big fan now! I’ll be signing up for your email list because I can’t think of anything more fun than going to Scotland with you! ❤

[@rachelisknitting]

Thank you so much! Isn’t Shetland just incredible? Would love to go back!

[@knitcalifornia]

The California Sweater is looking sooooo good!!! Hopefully we get the sleeves right and I can't wait to see the finished product!!

[@rachelisknitting]

Me too!!

[@Knitting_with_Bob-kr8rd]

I just love your podcasts and you - always make me smile! Keep up the good work!

[@rachelisknitting]

Thank you so much!

[@carolgarner5971]

Thank you that you do such a nice job of posting your trips. I will never have enough money for a trip but I totally enjoy your videos about yours.

[@rachelisknitting]

Thank you! I'll keep working hard so you and others can feel like you get to experience the trips through your screens.

[@kangasheep]

I'm so happy for you that your tour was received so well! That's amazing!!! Nice to see your channel growing, too! Your videos are fab, and your wit is a joy! Xx

[@rachelisknitting]

Thank you so much! I've really been blown away by the response. Thanks for watching!

[@kangasheep]

[@carolynwatling4626]

SO excited to hear there may be more 2025 knitting tours, I was very sad to not be able to sign up for the Scotland trip! Your California sweater is gorgeous, that color is just stunning and I canNOT wait to knit my own when the pattern is released

[@rachelisknitting]

[@AnnabethisKnitworthy]

Love that cowl!! Will definitely be keeping an eye out for the pattern release! Also so excited for you all that the Scotland trip went to fast! Can't wait to see what that means for the future trips!!

[@rachelisknitting]

Thank you Annabeth!!!

[@benknitter]

I am HORRIBLE at surprises, I ruined my own engagement lol, I 100% relate

[@maureengould7310]

I love your videos; you make me smile!

[@rachelisknitting]

Thanks for watching!

[@ozgirl45]

I love your videos - so entertaining and inspirational/aspirational. I also love your colour palette. It’s not the same as mine but the colours are beautiful and really suit you. The California sweater is lovely and a great fit on you. I agree with your initial opinion about cowls. I love the idea but in the climate I live in 🇨🇦 where the winter weather is frigid outside and overheated indoors means that I would have to put it on and take it off repeatedly- which means maybe knocking off my glasses and maybe my earrings every time. A simple or maybe an infinity scarf works for me! That issue about the shaky camera - that was, in my opinion, nonsense as I didn’t even realize there was an issue. I think that any (?) shaking adds to the veracity of the video.

[@rachelisknitting]

Thanks so much! I hadn't really thought about the need to remove the cowl and the logistical issue that may come with that. Hopefully it's smooth sailing for me in that area. We'll see!

[@bgbaltuth]

thank you. you are so cute!

[@rachelisknitting]

Thank you too!

[@no1pinkjellybean]

to cute and to funny

[@leahh9284]

Interested to see how being a cowl girl is. I'm still not sure how I feel about them

[@rachelisknitting]

I totally get that. I am pleasantly surprised with how fast I took to this cowl. It's just a real treat!

[@bethpaschal7859]

You make me smile! ❤️🧶
