Never apologize for you mother daughter banter. This is exactly why I watch you. I love that you have made a space for your shared hobby, and that you generously share it with us. And I always get some inspiration from your projects!

[@alecsgirl]

Y’all are so sweet. It’s nice to be at the age/stage in life where you’re comfortable to be on your own somewhere. I definitely am now that I take my knitting. Kaity, that romper is so sweet!

[@mendyelliott9495]

Diana I can’t wait to see your knitting room! Kaity those newborn socks are adorable! Thank you for sharing ❤

[@graceyj7996]

Love all the new patterns you are working on or dreaming about! You are both a delight and thank you for creating such fun content!

[@8Gammie]

I love your podcasts.. just makes my morning coffee even better! Love the garments and all the information you shared. love,hugs,prayers to you both.

[@ruthannbull6515]

Thank you for another great podcast. Love all your project, have a great week.

[@suemarquardt475]

So looking forward to hearing your continued adventures with the , Garden Cardigan.

[@marie-louisenordberg7567]

Love how much more relaxed you both have become since you started pod casting. 😊 always enjoy sitting down with my knitting and watching your enthusiasm for knitting and enjoyment of each other’s company.

[@klaskelangford8324]

Thank you for the joy and laughs. Love all the projects and dream knitting. Some Summer knits: Pothos Tee, Cercis, Mid Ocean Tee, Love Letter Top, Seashore Stroll, FriskyLeaves Tee, Sunshine Bliss Tank Top, Rockhound Vest (I wear it as a top on it's own), The Classic Tee, Heart Warmer Tee, Dingley Dell, and Rosunlund. Enjoy!

[@EileenK64]

I enjoyed this episode as usual. Fun to see your belly grow Kaity, babies are such a blessing from God.

[@shelleycraft4273]

Always love to watch you ladies and see your lovely projects! My favorite way to knit socks is toe-up TAAT. That way I don't have to worry about second sock syndrome!

[@gwenfrost4987]

I really enjoy your podcast and I get excited when I see you have posted another one!

[@deniseengel1451]

Thanks for all the knitting inspiration. You two are genuine and that's why I love watching your podcast.

[@kathleen6805]

Love you two ladies, Happy Knitting, Kathy from Massachusetts

[@shanamatteucci3980]

Technology is a challenge. Keep it simple. We just love hearing you two. ❤

[@sabinebauerle7655]

The Sanaa top is definitely on my to do list.thanks for another inspirational and entertaining episode

[@jomeurer9444]

So much fun! Can’t wait for your next fun adventure!

[@cwanlin128]

I love your sharing and fun together!! I have been eying Ruby and Roses yarn as well as Knitting for Olive. Kaity, you might want to make a Lego blanket for your boys. I am making my third one for my grandsons. Diana, my hands often hurt, and I've purchased some arthritis cream that helps. My daughter also bought me a portable hand massager from Amazon that is great. I would suggest Salty Air Tee, Seashore Stroll, Balkai, Laia or Sunshine Coast for summer tops. Can't wait to see what you knit next!

[@mainewoodshome]

Oh you are not alone on the Manhattan Hat decreases. I messed mine up too, but it is still one of my most worn hats. And you have totally sold me on the Knitting for Olive. I see an order in my near future. Thanks for sharing it’s always fun.

[@leitesta1725]

Hi Kaity - I have both the Ankers Tee and the Cumulus Blouse and I love them both. The neckline is different on each so it depends on if you want a v-neck or a round neck. I think that yarn will be gorgeous in either pattern!! ❤

[@deedeewalker1564]

I love that Newborn Sock pattern. They make such a great gift and are so stinkin’ cute!! If you’ve shared them on here before then that’s where I found out about it and thank you!

[@grammyangie4s993]

Diana, my doc recently told me women "of a certain age"frequently feel hand joint pain. Mine doesn't increase with knitting, infact, I hope it helps. Beautiful knitting gals!!

[@shanamatteucci3980]

Light blue buttons ❤️

[@leisajames711]

Hello! Loved the podcast and all your projects. I’m knitting the Caprock Tee. It’s a fun knit. I think you’d like it also. I’m knitting it in Juniper Moon Farms Zooey that I purchased at ReBelle when I was in Lexington for the Sheep and Fiber Festival. 💕

[@hollysweany4234]

I enjoy your podcasts so much! I’m just up the road in southern Indiana. I like the sock book, too. I was able to get it from our public library on the Libby app.

[@sun101rype]

I love to sit and knit with you ladies. You have once again given me some lovely ideas to add to my dream knit list. lol Your puppy sounds adorable, what breed is she, maybe you'll share a picture with us in the future ? Blessing from Alberta

[@marymcintyre646]

Hello from Ireland 🇮🇪

[@rsbeaddesign2432]

Hi again and thanks for another fun episode. My dream summer knitting right now is the Hollowbrook Top by Irina Anikeeva. I’m swatching with several yarns to see which I like best. Then I need to make sure I have enough yarn for the project. You know what I mean don’t you? Sometimes I think the prep time is longer than actually knitting a project. Until next time, have a great week. Rachel S.

[@kathydunne6869]

I love listening to your podcast! You both are so sweet and kind! I do value your inability to say anything ugly!

[@anne-mareehern]

Thank you for another enjoyable podcast, your podcast are perfect the way they are, comfortable and relaxing. Like spending time with good friends.

[@everlyfibers]

I always look forward to your videos. Thank you!🙂Summer Top Suggestions: Vanilla Affogato by Baby Cocktails might be an option 🙂

[@jacquelinesmith6128]

You should try the Shorty heel tab socks by Larissa Gregorin ❤😊

[@lauriepusateri7493]

I made the manhattan hat and I had issues with the decreases too but I thought it is because I am left handed 😂

[@Jess38]

❤

[@catherinekirby1457]

I love your podcast! The Sabai top sometimes look like it goes high across the base of the neck. Maybe knitters need to modify for their measurements

[@reginamay76]

Always enjoy watching. I’m working on a Magna Flora top right now in drops Belle mauve. Loving it so far I do want to try line….i got the tynn line for a short sleeve ilha sweater.

[@tacistudio]

I love watching you both together and can’t wait to see your knititng room. I’m doing an episode about knitting summer tops soon if you want more tip ideas. So much fun to see you again. Love all of your knits 😘😍💖

[@ajborthwick7239]

I just cast on the sabai top this morning. I have been trying to practice self control and not buy the KFO cotton merino in the colour blueberry ice cream:)

[@tacistudio]

Great minds think alike my friend. I’m making the same socks and I’m loving that book. I also am waiting for Ruby and Roses update in the end of the month. I have never tried their yarn and I’m super excited. Great episode ❤

[@susanzarzycki1585]

Love your podcasts! I have been with you from the beginning. I do have a question Diana: how many children do you have? 💖

[@cherieirey1975]

Amy from NE knits had the same problem with her manhattan hat.

[@joyceripianzi]

I have both the ankers tee and the cumulus. I love them both but the anker is a faster knit

Hello @Reknits4me!

[@anissam5009]

Where do you purchase your Knitting for Olive yarn? In-person or online?

[@lynnmcentire4014]

Sound is weird

[@thefruitfulhands]

So sorry Lynn, mine was weird as well. I was on my IPad and another person listening was on her IPad she switched to her phone and it was fine. There was a few of us with the sound breaking up and I’m wondering if we were all on IPads.
