Ep. 88 - Short and Sweet

[@gigiknitsnstuff9832]

Miss seeing your face!! Hope life is being good to you and Dan.

[@krystalgrichen3209]

I’m so happy you are enjoying the cardi!! Good call on the colour catcher!

[@normabinkley6111]

Beautiful shawl. And beautiful yarn you spun. Good to see you both.

[@daylemenges7177]

Love Hennifer. My daughter (17) happened to sit down while I was watching and asked if you were talking about a "real" chicken, so I showed her. She asked if I would make one. Not yet, I have way too many other things going right now. Love your Voyage sweater. Sounds like it is taking you on a voyage. L!

[@unplannedcauli]

about the chipped chrome on a needle: I've had KP Novas and Addi Sockenwunder needles rub the chrome layer off. I think it's something in my sweat? In any case, the rubbed off part on the Novas was slightly rough but on the Addis stayed smooth. Oh, and hiding things in a safe place? A friend "sold" me this trick: label one drawer or a bag or tote box as "Safe Place". Whenever you're tempted to put shit in a safe place, put them in the Safe Place instead. You'll never lose them again!

[@gretchenbarger9183]

You are correct...Cera is the name of the triceratops. I still have the puppets from Pizza Hut that my kids played with!

[@chevyrell]

Omg!!! We did too!!!!!!

[@vikkichenette5604]

We love our local Mountain meadow Wool Mill in Buffalo WY! Yummy yarn celebrating Wyoming grown Merino sheep!

[@NataliesCloset]

Great to see you. The yarn you spun is pretty, I think it would be nice as a pillow. I like the Losy hat, can't wait to being my needles back out after MANY years, have to take a couple refresher classes...lol! I know you said I would be included, even though I did #dscal only in my post, but if you looked up #dscal23 I didn't co.e up, but WOW, the winner is getting some amazing yarn, have to go check her out, as always you're my favorite Enabler hahaha! I love Dan's socks! Can't wait to see Cole's finished Emotional Support Chicken. I'm going to check the pattern out! The color work is amazing in your final WIP! WOW!!! I'm one of your fans that loves the long videos but this was awesome & it was great seeing you. That's was so sweet of Dan and it's adorable. Thanks for sharing everything! Loved this Shit Show. Hi Dan! Have a great day!

[@aquilladahun-aleftyknitter]

The crochet chicken looks great! 😊

[@barbaraireland6772]

Ooohhh just bought the crochet pattern for the chicken!🐔🐔🐔

[@AnditheKnittress]

Chevas that voyage sweater is going to be so very epic!

[@chevyrell]

I hope so 🤞

[@angieanderson6082]

Beautiful knits (and crochet 🐔), as always! It was nice that your boys made their cameo at the end!! 😉

[@michelera6365]

I so enjoy your podcast! So much fun!

[@barbaraireland6772]

Lost my crojo for a bit but got it back. So now catching up on my fav podcasts. OMG!!! A crocheted emotional support chicken? You've got to be kidding me! I will check out your link. Plus...crochet as a pallet cleanser? 😂😂😂

[@DynamiteTrujillo]

I get all the M's mixed up too. Love your face.

[@yolandaperkins6291]

The shawl looks amazing 🤗

[@MissJudyBad]

CUTIEPIE! seeing Olive art warmed my heart!

[@tinalawrence7491]

I made the knit chicken and named her Hen-Rietta Clucks-a-lot. I love her. Your knit colorwork project is gorgeous. Great episode as always 😊

[@lakeviewchicachicago2042]

Love the podcast and that you mentioned THe Knitgirrls! They really are the OG podcasters!

[@sheknits1]

Yellow is beautiful on you!

[@chevyrell]

Oh thank you!

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Always good to see you. That shawl is so beautiful - and loving your other makes. xx

[@jennlovesyarn]

That was a great one! Happy belated birthday! Angie of Purls and Pines has amazing yarn! Thank you for some laughs to start my day!

[@suebigger5097]

Y 34:08 es, her name was Sarah, my oldest grandson was in love with all the Land Before Time. We watched all of them. None of his 4 sons like them. Your sweater is so beautiful and unique. I love your videos. I crochet, but I adore your channel. 🥰

[@TheCreativeObsession]

You make me want to knit that colorwork sweater! I loved Land Before Time, and I would watch that with my boys when they were young.

[@sun101rype]

Hey Girl, it's always a pleasure to watch you and enjoy our Clinkies with you ! Cheers from Alberta Canada :D

[@Kate-yx7rk]

Love the skein you made from spinning on your Turkish spindle, beautifully balanced yarn (from one spinner to another)👏👏

[@cathyringer]

Fellow midwesterner here... any sun this time of year is good sun. Looks good on you.

[@MYROCKOROCKO]

The Luck of the ☘️ Irish ….. Chevas in the house! ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️

[@monique350]

A crochet support chicken!!! Fabulous. I just purchased the pattern. Thank you!

[@julieinstitches16]

GAHHHH! Off to purchase and stitch a Crochet Emotional Support Chicken! I was intimidated by the knit, but alllll over the crochet! Whoopee!

[@SandPell123]

Chevis, that Across the pond shawl is gorgeous. I absolutely love the colors you chose. You wear it well.

[@YarnStorieswithOlivia]

Love how you are using the support chicken to support your knitting needles 😂 you also now have me wanting to start the crochet one before I make the knit version. Short episode but a fun hangout time with you as usual.

[@chevyrell]

It hooks up so fast too! You would prob have it done in a day, Miss “I Win At Speed Crochet” 😝

[@audreykatzenberger1580]

Thank you for podcasting. Great podcast working dk socks colored block socks beautiful knits.

[@MapleNutDesigns]

Yes, her name was Cera!! Oh my goodness The Land Before Time was my favorite too! I loved Ducky was my fav! “You should not eat talking trees” or when Petrie was trying to fly and fell in a hole and said “I flied?!” And Ducky said “no you falled”. Man that movie was the best!

[@chevyrell]

[@CinematicSkeins]

My KP karbonz tips had the same discoloration. It’s the coated brass or something. Ha! Twinzies. I have a pair of straight signature needles that say Cinematic Skeins that I use for blanket squares. Hunt Hand Knits has started converting her colorwork cowls into crochet. They look like knitting. It’s trippy. Anyway, it was Sara. I preferred Petri. 😜

[@chevyrell]

I loved Petri too, but Spike holds a special place in my heart 🥹

[@tinamadden25]

oh My...the across-the-pond shawl is Amazing and beautiful...I sure wish i could knit..it's just soooo beautiful 😍

[@chevyrell]

Thank you so much!

[@PaigeTheFramer]

This was fun! I love hanging out with you pal!

[@pammyers1982]

Just let me say-you are a gorgeous lady! And the yarn you spun is beautiful. The colors are great.💜💜

[@chevyrell]

Awww 🥰 thank you *blush*

[@barbmckinlay5108]

I knitted my Emotional Support Chicken and it’s lumpy because I knit so loose. I’m going to try the crochet version. Thank you for sharing about the pattern.

[@chevyrell]

Oh yeah…..gotta go down sizes to get that tight gauge. I’m actually a little worried about my crochet version. I think you’ll be able to see the stuffing through it😕

[@dianagarino9821]

And a happy belated Birthday!!!🎉🎊🎂

[@Valentina-km8cg]

LOSY stands for Left Over Sock Yarn. Developed as a stash buster! Great episode. I'm always so happy to see you when I check for new videos. (I'm an OG from the beginning.)

[@chevyrell]

Oh!!!! That makes so much sense! 😝

[@tbiles2706]

Great episode, as usual. Just finished my second emotional support chicken while watching you and the Needles at the Ready boys tonight Finally finished a quilt that had been in my WIPs for well...almost 10 years 😂 . I also did the hated hat..and will never do it again. Totally agree with you on that. Hope you had a great birthday last month - Feb girls rock, of course.

[@chevyrell]

Wow on the quilt! EPIC finish!

[@karenjordan1822]

You rock, girlfriend!! Another great episode!❤❤

[@nicolelafontaine1720]

Glad to hear you had a great birthday, I wish you a good year !!!

[@romaynecarlin1249]

Hiya! I gotta tell ya... the stitch markers you sent are hard at work! And holy cow...a sticker!! Have a marvelous weekend!

[@chevyrell]

Yay!!!!!

[@beckybramlett3515]

No notice but replay will just have to do.💕💕💕❤️. I imagine that there’ll be editing going on cause I can’t see and write too !😜😜Those stripped Sox I blinked and thought you were making a “ baby romper “: then blinked again, and they’re Sox !!🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ I think I need rest !🤣🤣🤣

[@chevyrell]

Our server the other night thought they were baby pants! 😝

[@thunderabovecreations]

Hey Chevy, the color changes on your knitting needles happened to me too, I thought it was because of metals that cheap jewelry turns on me, the same happened with my needles, I didn't give it a thought that they could be replaced, oh well too late now, I had bought my set several years ago and I can still use them even though one of the cables had let loose on one side, just using the 2 shorter ones together now, lol.

[@chevyrell]

It’s not worn, a CHUNK actually fell of and it has a jagged edge. I should’ve been more clear 😖

[@thunderabovecreations]

You were just fine, I think I started typing before listening to everything, lol.

[@alexoglitter2700]

i do all the things knit crochet sew!

[@nanapapaikenberry8476]

LOVELOVELOVE THAT SHAWL!!!!❤❤❤❤

[@pattigolden1]

Yay!! A Chevas day!! Knitter's pride is great about returns, I had a set of GORGEOUS wood interchangeables, nasty splinter on ONE needle.....they sent me a replacement SET!!! I made FrankHENstein for my BFF who recently had a stroke (mostly because every damnit doll I found was fugly), stinkin'cute!! (I did a project page). Now I need to make one for my "sister's" new grandbaby, maybe RastafariHEN. 🤔 Oh, LOVE the jellyfish!!

[@chevyrell]

Thanks! They sent me back to the store I purchased it from. I tried them directly first😕 yay for ESCs 🐓

[@traciperdue]

It was Sara!!!

[@dianagarino9821]

OMG!! love the yarn and the tattoo❤

[@alicekemner3273]

I love the LOSY hat. I use that pattern to use up fingering weight yarn

[@chrissy8883]

Another great show! Cheers❤️❤️❤️

[@teresasleeper2458]

Oh gosh, I loved everything that you shared! I so want to knit the Voyager but am still a little scared of steeking. Yours is gorgeous ! I can’t even with Land before Time !😢😢😢 I had to endure it with all 3 of my kids and now that my Mom HAS passed, ugh. Nope. My grandkids had to watch it with THEIR mom, my daughter. It is the saddest ever at the leaf reflection moment. 😢

[@chevyrell]

Just thinking about LBT feels like a gut punch! 😭 You should try swatching for a steek! Then it won’t seem as scary. Once you do it you realize it’s not😉

[@debramurray5132]

Great to see you❤️

[@rmlrhonda]

Wow your spinning looks amazing!

[@falcordexter]

They still sell Crazy. They don’t sell it in the stores, but you can buy directly from the Stonehenge Mill in MI.

[@aliciagiacomazzi9005]

Love the new intro pics ❤

[@Croch80HD]

Hello 🤗🤗🤗 im a crocheter who does not knit. I watch a lot of knitting channels and when they talk about editing the patterns, it does seem way more "in-depth" than when hacking crochet. So, I understand what you're saying ❤ Im also a crazy Gen Xer, so... 😂😂😂

[@adrahtaylor7993]

A super cool video! I have just finished my first color work pattern you may want to try Fair Enough cowl pattern. I could put it down. Have a super day!

[@msfreshfood1111]

Another great episode. You make me want to try that voyager sweater. Your color choices are beautiful. OK, I have to ask because it’s driving me CRAZY. Once upon a time, many years ago, did you give someone a tour of the Stuff Room for a show on maybe HGTV or PBS or…. I remember so distinctly your grandmother’s cups on the shelf and how much stuff was in the room. Now that I “know” you through your podcasts, everything makes sense but I want to see that original interview and can’t find it. Or maybe I dreamt it.

[@chevyrell]

Ih heaven’s 😝 I’m not cool enough to be on TV😝 imI did a Stuff Room tour several years ago (it’s here on my channel) and Kristy Glass interviewed me several years ago and did a tour if it as well☺️ I NEED to do another one, it’s on my list💜

[@msfreshfood1111]

@@chevyrell thanks. Maybe it was the Kristy Glass interview. Or maybe I was having a psychic moment and predicting that one day I would be following you. Yeah. That’s probably it. 😜

[@chevyrell]

@@msfreshfood1111 well that would be cool! 😝

[@cathymiller224]

Yep her name was sara! Love your videos!

[@candygrubisic]

The yarn turned out pretty though. The shawl turned out great. Why I noticed, I have no clue lol...but are those the glow in the dark stars on the wall? I'm going through the 52 weeks of socks book. I think that's because they're nickel plated. The other annoying thing about the nickel is that you have make sure and polish them before using them so they don't turn your yarn black. They tarnish like sterling silver. The crochet version had to go pretty fast. I love variegated inside a sold. The colorwork looks fun to me. Yep, Sarah. "Safe Place"...pretty sure that's a short way of saying, "abracadabra...poof...you are now invisible".

[@chevyrell]

Yes!!!! That is the pisces constellation and you can’t see it but aries (for Dan) is on the other side of the jellyfish print😁 I haven’t had any tarnishing problems! Thanks for the heads up 🙌

[@edinacole6382]

I have the same knitting needles (multiple pairs) and ALL of mine have aged that way.

[@chevyrell]

It’s not aged though, like a CHUNK fell off and it has a jagged edge😭

[@edinacole6382]

@@chevyrell Oh, horrible!

[@mysticmaven6261]

I'm ready for a martini episode!!!!

[@delcodeb]

Im not sure where i saw it (could have been through you 🤷‍♀️) where someone made a lampshade using snipped up yarn- for your skein

[@kellyfazekas7831]

I have the same knitting needles, the knitpro cubics and mine did the same thing. It's a shame because I really like the needles.

[@judithhirschhorn7249]

Your voyage sweater is absolutely gorgeous. If you want to see if the black is going to bleed, you might want to just take some of the leftover yarn and soak it without a color catcher and then you will know if you might have a problem.

[@chevyrell]

Brilliant!…..and duh🙄🫣😝

[@judithhirschhorn7249]

You can also throw some of the light color yarn in too !

[@joanaarvig]

Crochet as a palate cleanser!

[@Croch80HD]

I agree. I only crochet, though, so I may be a little biased 😂

[@chevyrell]

I certainly hope that didn’t come off shitty😬🫣 I didn’t mean it that way, promise!

@@chevyrell not at all! ❤️❤️❤️

[@savyjett]

LBT traumatised me! Yes, Littlefoot, Ducky, Sarah and Petrie!! Still love dinos, will never watch it again.

[@justlivinwithyarn]

I would hazard a guess that the print is either a woodcut or linocut.

[@EmmePhillips-HookinEmme]

What type of color catchers do you use? I am loving all your makes.❤❤❤❤

[@chevyrell]

Thank you! I use the Shout Color Catchers. They are the only ones I know of🙌
