Episode 6: Better Late Than Never

[@CharDickerson]

Hello, I’m Northern Minnesota. This is Char. from the yarn basket. I’ve been to visit the yarn cabin. Beautiful place beautiful lady. I got your KZbin handle from her and I enjoy watching you Gals Love your channel

[@KnittingUpNorthwithJennCorrina]

We are so glad you found us! Angie is terrific! Thank you for the kind words and for watching!

[@deekay1641]

Corrina, I was holding my breath, while you were telling the story if your terrible experience with your Husband's health scare. Thank God for your happy ending. I love your Saski, it looks so good on you. I need one😁. You ladies have some beautiful knits and your enthusiasm for knitting and your friendship makes my heart smile. Thank you.

[@KnittingUpNorthwithJennCorrina]

Love it! Thank you for watching and coming back! We appreciate your support!

[@CozyCornerCK]

Thank you so much for the lovely shoutout! 🩷 Thank you for sharing my bags. I am so sorry for the stressful weekend, Corinna! I’m so glad your husband is okay. I am so excited for your trip to Italy!! That will be so fun and I will be living vicariously through you!🥰

[@KnittingUpNorthwithJennCorrina]

Thank you, Nichole, for the kind words! You make beautiful bags! We appreciate your support and kind words!

[@loomandbloomstudios]

It is so heart warming and refreshing when you talk so lovingly about your husbands. Corrina, it took so much courage to hold it together to help your husband. Thank you for sharing such a scary story. Jenn, my son was a trap shooter as well when he was in high school. Of all the activities our boys were in, I think trap shooting was my favorite to watch and a sport that is undeservingly shadowed by other sports. Though, it is brutal on those kids shoulders. But they probaby have fancier guns than when our boys were in school!😅

[@KnittingUpNorthwithJennCorrina]

Thank you for the kind words it was a scary weekend for sure! Completely agree! It is so much fun to watch him shoot trap! We really appreciate you watching and taking the time to share!

[@mmay16]

There are just some podcasts that just feel different - warm, welcoming, and comforting and this is definitely one of those. I'm so happy that your family got good news regarding the health issue. What a stressful and frightening thing to go through. Thank you so much for taking the time and put in the hard work to create this podcast. I not only always leave deeply inspired but feeling like I've been among friends.

[@KnittingUpNorthwithJennCorrina]

Wow! No words...thank you for your kindness and these sweet words! This got the tears welling up for sure!

Hi ladies! Thank you for another great episode! Beautiful finished objects and your WIPS look very fun. Can’t wait to see them when they are finished. I’m so excited to hear about the Up North knitting retreat. That just happens to be my birthday weekend so I might have to treat my self. 😊. I was able to stop in at The Yarn Cabin in our way up north a couple of weeks ago. The shop is lovely and Angie was very sweet! I will be making it a regular stop anytime we are near Bemidji.😁. Corrina, I’m so glad to hear your husband’s health scare turned out for the better.

[@KnittingUpNorthwithJennCorrina]

[@jessicashimpa4969]

Corrina and Jenn, you both have such beautiful souls!!! Your friendship is so genuine. Jenn for you to travel to Corrina in a time of scare is real! People say they would do it but do they? Hugs to you both. Thank you for the suggestions on sock patterns and the encouragement to keep going. I actually messed up on my first one, lesson learned. The seconded set is coming along well. It’s being made with Fiber Genie’s yarn! I’m excited to hear she will be at the retreat! Definitely gonna get tickets for mom and I! ❤️ I’m happy I got to watch you while out here out in SD. I needed a break from riding bike. Take care ladies!!!

[@KnittingUpNorthwithJennCorrina]

Thank you for the kind words! Ride safe and have fun...glad we got to give you a little yarny break! Keep going on the socks!!

I have just been on roughly the same journey with my husband Corrina, so I send you, your husband and your family so much love. It would have taken so much courage and love to be there with him. And you have such a wonderful friend in Jenn, you both so lucky to have each other as friends and knitting pals. ❤️ As always such beautiful sweaters that have flown off both your needles 👏❤. Thank you both of you.

Corrina~ so glad in the end, there was good news! Aren’t knitting friends the best?!! I truly don’t know what I would have done without mine. Great episode as always and just knowing you both live and podcast from an area that I spent my Summers oh so long ago, brings a smile each time and memories float back to me! 🩵

You ladies hit it out of the park again - well done! I really appreciate your authenticity and I think it’s the chemistry between the two of you that makes your podcast a “must watch” for me. Thanks so much for sharing (though I am curious about that birthday present lol).

Thank you so much!! You are so kind! We really appreciate you watching!

Hi lovely ladies, loving your finished projects and works in progress. The bag is stunning as is the yarn. You have some beautiful dream knitting patterns that I need to check out. I have finished my poncho and radiate sweater and looking forward to the advent make-along. Sending hugs to Corrina ❤❤❤

I enjoy your podcast so much...except I want to shop 😅! Glad everything worked out for your husband! I love your friendship. Knitting friends are so wonderful. I'm thankful to have them.

[@KnittingUpNorthwithJennCorrina]

Everyone should have a friendship that lifts them up, makes them feel like anything is possible and no matter what life brings is an ally...that someone who is always looking out! We are so lucky and we know it...we never take each other for granted!

[@teresasteuber5560]

I was so excited to see two new knitting podcasters a couple months ago! The first couple were a bit shaky, but you both are so endearing and have such great style, and you are getting more and more comfortable in front of the camera. Also love that you are my age and a grandma! 😉 can’t wait to see what’s next!

[@KnittingUpNorthwithJennCorrina]

Ha ha! Yes, we felt they were shaky too...getting into our grove has been fun! We really appreciate the feedback and support! Thank you so much!

Lots to chat about between health scares, knitting retreats, FOs and WIPs, community service. Thanks for podcasting. FYI MSP flies to AVL nonstop with Allegiant, Sun Country and Delta depending on the day. It’s only 80 minutes from Franklin NC. Asheville has lots of different yarn shops in its vicinity so if you need a road trip in Feb and March when you want to see spring bulbs blooming, this might be a good destination for you. Happy knitting.

[@KnittingUpNorthwithJennCorrina]

Thank you so much for being so thoughtful and for watching! Black Mountain Yarn Shop is on our list of places to visit for sure! And just Asheville in general!

Jenn, you will have such an amazing time in Italy! I just got back from a retreat in Texel organized by Natasja Hornby. Even though I’m not much of a traveler I went all by myself because I wanted to so much. Within a day I had met up with other knitters in Amsterdam from that point on I wasn’t traveling alone. I’m SO glad I went. Of course having a travel buddy is good too :) Corrina, so glad your husband is ok! How scary.

I took a two at a time sock knitting class. At the end of the first session, I held up my socks and asked the teacher, were they supposed to be attached to each other and then cut apart later. of course, she said no. I persisted though and learned to knit socks and they have become a go to easy project

[@KnittingUpNorthwithJennCorrina]

Oh no!!!! Mistakes are such good teachers, but they are also painful :-) Way to persevere!

Last episode you both inspired me to persevere so I started another pair of socks. So far so good. I’m really feeling confident until I get to the heel and then we’ll see if I can struggle through that. Anyway, I am knitting so that is good.

[@JanetDoucette]

Awesome visiting with you both today... I love all the community service items you have!!! Excited for the next video... you are both so inspiring... I had to start my heel again... I'm good at the cuff & legs, & apparently I read the heel wrong... I was doing a slip stitch in between each stitch instead of just at the beginning of the round... I'm blaming my inability to read the chart on the stress I put on myself to figure it out!
