[@carolinehannan3921]

I always watch your podcasts a couple of weeks late so that I’ve got one in hand to watch when I fancy a fun hour. It’s lovely that you share this interest, my late husband and I were both quilters and that was great. See you again soon!

[@justanotherknittingpodcast]

It’s so nice to have shared hobbies - we always have a lot to talk about -Bebe

[@Helen-x4e]

Really enjoyed watching this episode. Love seeing all your knitting and forward plans, and your loyalty to local yarn. I also love Outlaw yarn too 😊

[@justanotherknittingpodcast]

Thanks Helen 😊

[@raelenejones]

Brilliant episode. So glad I came across you guys. Been here since no. 1 podcast and look forward to each one. Im a Kiwi living in the UK and was home visiting family earlier this year. Was in Rangiora for a month and visited both the yarn stores there. A friend took me on a yarn crawl and we visited Lisa at Unwind and Knit with me and Wild Earth Yarns. Needless to say i came home with HEAPS of NZ yarn. Roll on 2026 when I'm back! Thank you for great podcasts.

[@justanotherknittingpodcast]

So great that you’ve joined us! Call me biased, but we might just we have the best yarn in the world 😆 -Bebe

[@samhoward7756]

The feathers are incredible Stephen, well done (and absolutely counts as 1x FO) And incredible perseverance from Bebe on the traveller shell, making me want to make one too!

[@justanotherknittingpodcast]

I must admit, I am very glad it's done! --Bebe

[@shelleycollett322]

Enjoying your podcasts & amazing knitting. Very inspiring!

[@justanotherknittingpodcast]

Thank you!

[@margaretsamplerlover]

One more thing: Bebe, good for you for planning out your knits and using stash yarn!

[@justanotherknittingpodcast]

Thanks Margaret! -Bebe

[@julylo755]

Happy birthday Bebe. Even if you guys said nothing, and sat there in those unbelievable sweaters, your podcast would be worth watching! But I'm glad there are words too!

[@justanotherknittingpodcast]

Oh thank you! ☺️

[@carmenlowe-1772]

Fantastic episode loving it is released on a Sunday morning. For an alternative to the Italian bind off - there is the Alternating Cable bind off for 1x1 rib that is knitted - also an alternating cable cast on that matches and both look very similar to the tubular or Italian cast on/bind off. It also has some stretch in it. Suzanne Bryan has you tube video on it. Game changer - no more sewn bind off for me….

[@justanotherknittingpodcast]

Thank you, I will for sure be checking this out - great tip! --Bebe

[@karenneal5645]

Thank you to you both an enjoyable podcast to watch Sunday evening. Loved your Twigs sweater colours beautiful. Look forward to your podcast Bebe for your future knitting plans as I am sure it will be very inspiring

[@justanotherknittingpodcast]

Thank you Karen! I love my Twigs! --Bebe

[@shelleymcmeeken3266]

Love seeing your knitting and plans. I am a huge fan of Outlaw Yarns - the majority of my stash is from Deb and a couple of other small NZ dyers. I’m always…. Ohhhh I won’t knit that yarn yet bc then it will be gone. 😂

[@justanotherknittingpodcast]

We have a glorious stash of Rebel Worsted and Rebel Light that we are working through...I love it! --Bebe

[@BarbaraHawker-i6i]

Great episode. Enjoy seeing your knitting plans. Highly recommend the Alternating Cable Cast Off by Cheryl Toy ... no more sewn bind offs for me.

[@justanotherknittingpodcast]

Oooh this is interesting. I am familiar with the alternating cable cast on and use it, but I didn't know there was also a cast off version. I'll check it out, thank you! --Bebe

[@bronwynm4189]

Thank you for another enjoyable episode :)

[@justanotherknittingpodcast]

Thanks Bronwyn ☺️

[@magpie195]

Enjoyable podcast - great to see what you have both been up to. What a journey on your vest Bebe, I seem to do a lot of frogging which is rather frustrating but usually because I have knitted the wrong size 🤦‍♀️ look forward to seeing your finish when that precious skein of yarn arrives🌸

[@justanotherknittingpodcast]

OMGosh so frustrating. I just keep telling myself it will be worth it once it's finished! --Bebe

[@corgikat21]

I’ve been knitting for a bit and though I’ve done some color work, it really intimidates and challenges me. Seeing all of your beautiful color work knits has inspired me to try another one and keep at it until I get it right. Thanks for the nudge!

[@justanotherknittingpodcast]

Colourwork is really daunting! I really recommend Tin Can Knits book Strange Brew, I refer to this all the time and it has some excellent patterns.

[@nancymcconnell2396]

A wonderful couple and a great podcast!

[@justanotherknittingpodcast]

Thank you so much!

[@mongrain8934]

❤❤❤

[@starofthesea24]

I love your Twigs sweater Bebe its so lovely the colour is gorgeous too, I have been and am planning to carry on into next year to knit all my stash as I want a fresh slate, I am with you on the Bohemia worsted its so lovely to knit with

[@justanotherknittingpodcast]

It’s going to be such a good feeling to knit my stash! -Bebe

[@mmeharriet1538]

As usual, another fine episode from you two. Just love it. Decided to knit the Rift and am using Dererum Natura Gilliatt for my husband. You guys are inspiring. Thanks so much. From Ireland, Claire

[@justanotherknittingpodcast]

Thank you Claire and good luck with your Rift - it’s a great pattern. The Gilliatt is so lovely! -Bebe

[@melpratt786]

Thanks for your podcast..love the banter between you both and it's great seeing the kiwi yarns..I too have the Traveller's Shell pattern in my stash of patterns to knit Bebe 😂🎉❤

[@justanotherknittingpodcast]

Thank you! I might be mad, but I really want to knit another traveler - I think the hoodie this time. -Bebe

[@rachelaknz]

I LOVE Rebel Rapture. I've knit two Tolsta tees in it and it's so nice to wear? I've got plans for a cabled garment with it too. And I'm currently swatching for an Alder sweater in Rhapsody, which is a DK pattern, but this fabric feels lovely on 3.75mm needles. Very similar to Bohemia!

[@justanotherknittingpodcast]

I’m very excited to use the Rapture, it’s gorgeous! -Bebe

[@meganthompson4231]

Kia ora tātou, I LOVE my new cardigan and I can’t wait to wear it… In winter next year 😁

[@justanotherknittingpodcast]

Yay I’m glad you love it! 😍

[@janet_Luv2_Knit]

Another great episode. Love seeing the NZ yarn and what projects you are working on.

[@justanotherknittingpodcast]

Thank you for joining us again.

[@Lisa-z3r7o]

Ka Rawe!! Great Episode team!

[@justanotherknittingpodcast]

Tēnā koe Lisa!

[@TeeJayToo]

Thank you Stephen and Bebe, another interesting episode. Great to have another local podcast to watch!

[@justanotherknittingpodcast]

Glad you enjoyed it, thank you!

[@valsnow3683]

Admiration again on the Twigs! I must knit one myself.

[@justanotherknittingpodcast]

I love a swancho! --Bebe

[@lorrainehay9348]

I so enjoy your videos. I think it is great that you use so much NZ yarn. It has made me more aware of what we have rather than purchasing from overseas at a greater cost. Thank you.

[@justanotherknittingpodcast]

Thank you. Knitting with NZ yarn is really important to me - both in terms of supporting the local yarn industry, but also ensuring my yarn has fewer air miles! --Bebe

[@AdventurerKnits]

I love your videos so much. I’m a new knitter this year and am really enjoying finding knitters like you two. Bebe, I just did a yarn stash video and really enjoyed it. I can’t wait for yours with your plans and the yarns. 👏👏👏

[@justanotherknittingpodcast]

Thank you! I just subscribed to your channel 👏👏 --Bebe

[@sjorchatodman34]

Thank you for another enjoyable episode. I like to sit, knit and sip, I'm swatching atm for the Pressed Flowers cardi by Amy Christophers. I too am a loose knitter, I've gone down from the recommended 3.75mm to 3mm to get gauge. I keep forgetting to use Ravelry for my queues, I have a PK (promised knits)list on my corkboard of everything I'm planning to knit for the family & myself, but often forget what yarn I have intended for it. It doesn't help that I inherited a huge 6 tub stash from a friend who passed away a couple of years ago and another chaotic mess of a stash from my mum who is 94, who has retired from knitting as her eyesight is decreasing. I have a friend who bags her next projects individually with the either the pattern name or the printed pattern and the month she plans on knitting it. She'll start knitting it in that month regardless of how many wips she's got going. Happy knitting till next time, love from the Hawkesbury, Sydney Australia

[@justanotherknittingpodcast]

Wow all that extra yarn, what a gift - but I know what you mean about it creating chaos! I like the idea of bagging yarn with pattern - I want to start doing that. --Bebe

[@rosiefartch2329]

Another great episode. I look forward to seeing your plans for next year Bebe. I am also trying to use up deep stash as my tastes have changed and I want to try new yarns.

[@justanotherknittingpodcast]

It's a fun thing to attempt! Really I am just trying to make room for more yarn, but don't tell Stephen LOL! --Bebe

[@valsnow3683]

Feather so cute!

[@heatherchilderhouse495]

Enjoying your podcast. Regarding Stephens red jumper being too short. If you have more wool, cut and pickup the stitches near the bottom stocking stitch, knit extra length, then graft back together

[@justanotherknittingpodcast]

That’s a great idea, and easily done! -Bebe

[@helenstill2292]

Thank you for another most enjoyable podcast. Don't know if you would still be interested but there is a you tube video by 'Knit with Laura Nelkin' on 'Jenny's stretchy bind off' where she does it on the right side and gives you a couple of tips on how to make the bind off look a lot neater and not quite so stretchy.

[@justanotherknittingpodcast]

Thanks Helen, I’ll take a look! -Bebe

[@valsnow3683]

Just looked up the Henry VIII - stunning!

[@justanotherknittingpodcast]

I know right ! ❤️ 🧶

[@sivnerby908]

Stephen, have you seen Susan Crawfords Petrie? The fair isle-pattern is both vertical and horizontal! Looking forward to the bonus-episode. Best regards from Siv, Norway

[@justanotherknittingpodcast]

I hadn’t seen it, but I have now! Im not sure about the colours. Im intrigued.

[@lynncharlesworth8561]

Hi from Albany WA Two "easy" fairisle patterns for Stephen. Natalie cowl featured by designer in her podcast #158 Barney knits Hello from my colours crop by Jessie Maed. Modified for a man Ravelry under my handle knifton. Sorry can't seem to link it

[@justanotherknittingpodcast]

Thanks Lynn! I love Jessie Maed!
