“Could be epic or could be a total sh*tshow”-this is the best summary of why I watch your podcast. 😂

[@chevyrell]

😝 it’s a hell of a ride that’s for sure🤣

[@cathyinmt]

I gotta tell ya Chevas, I love your hair! The gray, the cut…BEAUTIFUL!

[@chevyrell]

Oh thank you!

[@jenjf4knits913]

It was SO fun watching Ditto open his present at the end. He is such a kid! 😂

[@chevyrell]

He thinks every box that comes to the house is for him 🤣

[@YarnStorieswithOlivia]

I loved it! The “where’s the swatch, I haven’t moved” had me in laughing tears. 🤣

[@chevyrell]

It happens to me daily😏

[@alisavanrooyen1030]

That comment sounds like my hubby... where's the(fill in the blank)I didn't go anywhere?

[@knitsnackswithgratitudekni3993]

😂😂😂 just what I needed on a cold, snowy morning! You had me laughing, as always. Happy early birthday!

[@Mary-si5zh]

Luv your hair and that cowl with the mountains is so pretty. Looks very soft.😊

[@PaigeTheFramer]

Hey pal!!! Great hanging with you today

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Great to see you and to hear about the fantastic time you had at the knitting event - sounds like a complete blast. Happy Birthday! xx

[@chevyrell]

Thank you! 😊

[@graciekanalas7285]

I love your hair and Ditto.🥰 Happy Birthday!!! 🍸🎊🎉

[@debrah.1348]

Always LOVE catching up with you! Those are some beautiful yarns you got. I can't wait to see what you make with them.

[@angelastephens82]

First time watching your podcast. OMG! Best hour of my day! 😂😂😂😂 Binge worthy!

[@chevyrell]

Awww thank you!!!!💜💜💜💜

[@barbmckinlay5108]

Ditto has come a long way in his training. 👍🏼. Have a happy birthday Chevas. I celebrate mine the 18th of every month. I’m so happy to have won the needle gizmos. Didn’t know something like that existed.

[@chevyrell]

Congratulations to you!!!!

[@yolandaperkins6291]

🎊 Happy Birthday Chevys!!🥳 I always look forward to your next video coming out, it's awesome hanging out with you!! 🤗

[@chevyrell]

Thank you! 🤗

[@julieinstitches16]

[@tateysnan]

Happy birthday miss birthday twin!!

[@deborahmccall5617]

❤ loved to see you so hapy Everything looks amazing

[@Biskit_Rising]

I just adore you so much and this video made my day. You’ve motivated me to finish editing my next video this weekend. Thank you for being you my lovely friend ❤

[@valoriec]

Your hair looks amazing! And watching Ditto open his presents so gleefully was hilarious and so cute.

[@TheSarahLindy]

I love Roxanne! She comes up with some of the most interesting, useful information… lady knows her 💩… and OMG I just got two of these mag-slider Yeti lids to replace my broken ones… they fit my cheap-o Walmart cups perfectly… the lids are now officially more expensive than the cups 😂 And best believe I’m following BeYarnce now 🤣

[@gisellejoseph2936]

Advance happy birthday to us Chev! I'm turning 42 and I love it!

[@chevyrell]

Happy birthday! 🎂

[@julielovesyarn3121]

Happy Birthday for today Chevas, and pardon you Dan 😆(so funny). I love DIY and would love to see the finished Kitchen. We are just about to start our own major renovation project ourselves. Your hair looks great. Ditto is adorable.

[@jackiewalsh3869]

Hi from a fellow Pisces, mine is the 21st. Probably why I laugh through your podcast. Hope the shelves went well.

[@ChubbyPugYarn]

Love your new hair!! And it was soo fun to see Ditto open his gift 😍🤣

[@chevyrell]

He loves to open presents. The problem is he thinks every box that comes to the house is his and he wants to open it.😝

[@sdg8rgirl]

Your podcast makes my heart sooooo happy! And I always love grabbing my drink to share some time with you!🍻

[@HookedOnWishing]

How fun Ditto ! What a good boy !

[@pattigolden1]

LOVE the new do!! Love Brad Mondo!! I needed a GOOD sh*tshow today!! Naughty knitting sacks are my fav!! I'm STILL using my pinegnomes.. "Where's the swatch"?? 😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@cindynicholas1615]

Love the hair, I can’t believe you cut it yourself! Happy birthday from a fellow Pisces (but from March). 🎉🎉🎉❤

[@Knits-WIPs-N-Chains]

Good to see your face. 😎 You aren't the only one who about peed their pants when that curtain opened. Hi Dan. Ditto's a happy doggo. 🤭

[@chevyrell]

😝

[@karynzlatkis]

I’m in love with Dido 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰♥️

[@kimberlybailey2857]

Oh my gosh! FINALLY a refreshing cool vibe yarn show! I just came across your video and I'm hooked with inspiration. Thanks 😊

[@chevyrell]

Welcome to the crazy train, enjoy your stay😝

[@HOOKINSTITCHINISLANDSTYLE]

Chevas, as always a pleasure to watch you. Loved watching Ditto open his present 🎁 😊

[@saraholden5213]

So good to see you again Chevy. Loved the Ditto clip!

[@christianavance9124]

I so needed to know about the yeti lids! My dog keeps destroying all of my lids, caps, water bottles etc. His toys and stuffies will last him decades, but if something is mine he has to prove he has the strongest jaw in the animal kingdom.

[@chevyrell]

Oh no 🙈 Ditto will go months without touching anything, then out of the blue he’ll eat my plants or the remote 🙄

[@daylemenges7177]

That's so fun that you included Ditto opening his box. What a good boy! I can relate you your issues with you Voyage. I struggle with overthinking patterns like that because I constantly second guess my size, gauge, etc. One thing to consider if you're still uncertain about size, with the floats, you will loose a tiny bit of ease because the fabric is slightly thicker. (I'm sure you know this.) If your gut says to go up a needles size for the colorwork, I'd do it. I hate when my floats look tight and don't blend well with my ribbing.

[@janieberks3005]

Puppy dogs training was awesome. He minds great!

[@chevyrell]

Smoke and mirrors 😏😝

[@suebyrum3534]

Great haircut! Love love love!

[@BeeWOWdbyAprilLee]

An Air BNB is where people rent her place out without her there. A bed and breakfast is where she takes care of them like a hotel but with special care. Plus they usually cook for their guest at the Bed n breakfast.

[@suebigger5097]

Omg, you have the same birthday as my oldest grandson🥰 I love your hair, it is so you🤗 Your fingernails are unique. I don’t knit, but adore your videos ❤️ Happy Happy Birthday 🎂🎈🎉 🎁

[@chevyrell]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@quil10it]

Happy all the things!!😊

[@tashapoe1023]

We had such a fabulous weekend with you and everyone else! Can't wait to see you out on the road soon 🥰

[@chevyrell]

You too!!

[@juleeperkins8142]

Girl, I should’ve known you were a ♓️! My dad was as well and this Sag LOVES water signs💜 I am a magpie with a love of shiny things, so seeing the “good chi balls” (grandson’s name for it) blessing you was amazing. I watch bc I too am a total shit show/hot mess. We have to stick together in a world that’s full of “normies.” Where’s the fun in that??? Ditto was such a good boy. So glad someone gifted him Happy Mail. It was even nice to see Headless Dan and his finger make an appearance 😂 Please keep the Happy Horse shit coming. My face hurts from laughing now💜

[@chevyrell]

Awwww😘 “good chi balls” love it!!!!

[@maggiekeller1812]

I’m a Dayton, OH girl and grew up riding my little bike to Dlm!!! It’s so weird to LOVE a grocery store, but I LOVE that grocery store!!! Their Killer Brownies😍😋💕

@@zeldanrj3 thank you sweetheart!

[@angieanderson6082]

Another great episode! Loved it when your co-stars made their cameos! Congrats on the kitchen progress…and Ditto is seriously amazing at opening gifts!!! 🤩

[@manicspinner1959]

This is probably too late, but for many people-- and you clearly are one-- color work pulls in, and for those folks (including me), I go up a needle size for color work, and then back down for solid sections.

[@mandyvaughnknits]

Ditto is such a cutie, I love to see him 🙂. Thank you for sharing the Voyage Cardi, I love it and it looks like so much fun to make. I hope that you have an awesome birthday!

[@nlturcott5168]

Your hair looks lovey. Enjoy your BD coming soon. I did aa Fair Ilse type sweater a year ago and took as much planning. So glad I did as it turned out awesome AND it fits well too.

[@chevyrell]

Thank you amd 🙌 on the fair aisle sweater💜

[@candicedull6706]

Yes, February birthdays 🥳 Mine’s the 19th😁 Happy Birthday!

Happy belated birthday!!🥳

[@Knittingangel67]

I love your fresh hair cut. You’re so brave to take a scissors to it yourself. I’m trying to grow mine out from a pixie. Let’s see how long I last 😂

[@chevyrell]

Oh man…..that’s a rough one, but will be fun to try different styles along the way😁

[@user-um2yj8ip7t]

happy birthday!

[@catherinesnider5144]

Oh my goodness!! I thought I was the only person in the world that said” jiminey Christmas” my kids make fun of me all the time for it.

I’m partial to Suzanne Bryan, myself. I find her tutorials easier to follow for my brain.

[@chevyrell]

I’ll have to check those out, I don’t know her either

[@SandPell123]

I haven't made very many socks, but I have never seen a sock made this way. Can't wait to see the end product. Happy early Birthday! OMG, I just loved seeing Ditto!

[@lauraharper7441]

Morning fellow Pices! Hair is sooo cute. Have a blessed day 😊

[@dianecohen8876]

i just love you and headless dan! AND ditto, of course! i'm always waiting for him to sneak into the stuff room and start licking jareth. your hair looks great, by the way.

[@chevyrell]

I was just thinking it’s been a minute since he’s done that on camera😝

[@bobbiallison1117]

Girl, you need to follow your gut on that project! You got this, you know what you want so just do it!

[@beyarnsay]

People are always asking me, "Beyarnsay, what's your favorite podcast?" I always say the one that mentions me. But really hun, thanks for the shout out. Ambassador Tanya came back smiling bigger than a possum eating a sweet tater.

🤣 I’m totally fan girling right now😱💜

[@mbohl7149]

Your new hair.cut looks good you!!!!

[@chevyrell]

Thank you ☺️

[@tracyvirta6692]

Go up up to a 6 for the colorwork on your sweater and a 5 for the non colorwork. See how you like that. Good luck 🧶🧶🧶

[@egoreknits]

Hello from Jonesborough TN!

[@chevyrell]

Hi 👋

[@debramurray5132]

Love your hair. All your makes are amazing . Beautiful yarns. Happy your cabinets are going up. Ditto is so cute❤

[@msfreshfood1111]

Ditto loves to open presents!!! My Aussies LOVED opening their presents. Tissue paper was the best thing evah!! You do my heart good, girl. And congrats on the kitchen shelves. Please send Dan to Kentucky. I could use some new shelves, i.e., cabinets. 😉

[@normabinkley6111]

I loves me the sound of a man diy’ing. ❤❤❤

[@chevyrell]

Same!

[@cindyfox1768]

If knitting panels for sweater you should get a knitting machine. That way you'll have the sweater done in 1 day and you don't have to worry about Putting it away.

[@VisitWithNanaAndPapa]

What a great way to start a Saturday. It makes me so happy to see you doing well. I must say when I saw Aquilla post that she was there with you, I cried. Not sad tears, but happy. I think you both needed time together. I went through the same struggle with my current project. (Colorwork sweater that will be steeked). Hugs, my friend

[@chevyrell]

It really was good for the soul💜

[@carlamonico4739]

LOVE IT and the pup 🐶 such a good and smart boy! I can’t get mine to follow instructions 😢

[@paulastoner499]

I just purchased the Voyage pattern yesterday, It's not in my immediate cast on future though. It just looked like FUN to me. I was supposed to cast on the Home Cardigan a few days ago, but for the first time in the 30 years I have lived here, I got hit with a porch pirate. Seriously, who steals yarn from an ol lady? I've ordered more and awaiting the mail man. Ditto was so cute!

[@chevyrell]

Oh no! Luckily, we live in a tight knit little addition. I would’ve never had anything delivered to our old house. They stole Dan‘s $800 bicycle off our porch in 15 minutes.🙄 jerks

[@coodjuguess]

Happy birthday 🎉🎉 My birthday twin! I don't remember the last time we got a SATURDAY!

[@kimberlybailey2857]

And my son celebrates his birthday on the 24th too!

[@chevyrell]

Awesome!!! Tell him happy birthday from a stranger on the internet 😝

[@barbaragrant4857]

On the swatch maybe go down a size for the main color. Then if you like the colorwork as it knits up and you make gauge, stick with the size 5 needle. I did hear you say you would use a 4. The other thing is to wash the swatch then measure. I’ve knit many Dale of Norway ski sweater patterns and when the colorwork was dense that’s what I did. Results were great and the steeking was easy. The yarn I used most often was Heilo which unfortunately is unavailable.

[@michellemartin4964]

I stumbled across your podcast and I am obsessed! I started at the very beginning and binging. Which feels stalky but I promise I’m not a stalker. I feel like you are another version of myself! Yarn ☑️ swearing (I say fuck a lot!) ☑️ Jareth/David Bowie (my first “only in my mind” love )☑️, animals ☑️, creepy and dark shit ☑️, snark ☑️ tarot ☑️ February bday ☑️ want to learn all the things ☑️ alcohol ☑️ Midwesterner ☑️ Child of the 80s ☑️ I could go on 🤣. You knit WAY better than me though. Anyway I LOVE your podcast , thanks for making me smile 🙂

[@chevyrell]

Yay!!!!! We DO have so much in common!!!! 😝 welcome to the shit show 🤗

[@rockinrobin1975]

Happy birthday!! My birthday is the 24th too!!

Lots of lovely work you have going on I found you thanks to Cinnamon Stitches video yesterday where she gave you a shoutout

[@chevyrell]

I have been following her spinning and love it!!! Thanks for bringing her to my realm😁

[@breakmydreams]

She is doing great with her spinning :) I love her :) So glad to hear you do as well :) @@chevyrell

[@manicspinner1959]

Re: choosing colors: if you have a nice set of colored pencils and can choose colors that more or less match your yarn, consider making a copy of the color work chart, and then coloring in the colors you want to use. Then you can kinda see what they'll look like. You may need to make multiple copies of the chart so you can try different colors in different places.

[@chevyrell]

Great idea!!! I did this with my Swallowtail and still love my little sketches☺️

[@ilovethegoddessshop]

Make sure to wet block your Voyage swatch-- you're using super wash which can grow like crazy!

[@chevyrell]

I did block them both😄

[@beverleysimmons8080]

I do watch their video Knitty knotty

[@christinaredmond5546]

Ditto is the best 😂

[@donnastubbs9525]

[@EmmePhillips-HookinEmme]

Okay my hubs loves your videos! He calls you the shitshow girl;)

[@chevyrell]

🤣🤣🤣 Tell him I said thanks for watching 😝

[@cathymiller224]

I love your videos and your hair!! Do u use a special shampoo for that beautiful hair color?

[@chevyrell]

Thank you! I use purple shampoo twice a week👍😁

[@crafteegirl]

I’m curious - maybe you said and I missed it- did you already block your swatch? I don’t think it’s unusual to have to use 2 sizes up for colorwork vs. one color stockinette. I’m making the Voyage too and will probably swatch in the next week or so. Excited to see how yours goes.

[@chevyrell]

Yea, I did block it👍

[@OneCatCrafting]

Could you please add the hair cut tutorial link? I asked for the exact same cut and got something very different at the stylists so I’m ready to DIY

[@chevyrell]

Sure!!! The top layer is just grown out from my shag though, so I didn’t do that part of it. I did trim it tho👍 kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHLQdmRsms9sf7csi=zAXg2vMDUX3p3T9Q
