Espace Tricot Podcast - Episode 18

[@roxannetarjan1411]

Hi Lisa and Melissa! Another wonderful podcast. I enjoy every minute of each of them and am still sorry to have missed you both when I visited the shop last October from New Brunswick. However, since you were highlighting your talented staff on this podcast, their designs and yarns I want to share how wonderful they were during that visit. Not pushy but ready to help and very welcoming. I'm certain it's not the first time you've heard this but the care and pride they all take in working with you both is evident and their commitment to the customer shines through. I love the knit nights with your team and hope you do more in the future. Makes we "on line" customers feel closer to them I think; certainly so for me - thanks again. Lisa - it's wonderful to see your recovery from the fracture. You are amazing and I often reflect how fortunate for you that you were a knitter and motivated to achieve a best recovery possible. I'm certain it is still tender and tired at times. Take Care, both of you!! Regards, Roxanne.

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Thanks so much Roxanne for your generous comments and your kind words about our staff! We are so fortunate to have such a dedicated, talented and friendly bunch! Also a personal thank you about my injury! It is slowly coming along and hopefully I will regain full range of motion soon enough:-)

[@karimertz1540]

You guys are my fav!! So much inspiration and encouragement. Thank you for the wonderful podcast.

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Ahhh, thanks Kari for your kind words!

[@nancysteiner8814]

Oh my, all the cohana products are lovely! I love seeing all the products as well as the knits. Keep up the good work ladies!

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Thanks Nancy:-)

[@TheLuxCrafter]

When you get an idea and execute execute a design... "you are a designer". No magazine/pubication validates that.... you guys are awesome, come across as genuine and organic. Looking forward to seeing your future design offerings. Cohana...

[@aspenandwool1467]

You two are such an inspiration! I was watching last night and you motivated me to finish my first sweater, a modified Agnes, that I started over a year ago! And you are designers! I absolutely love your aesthetic of simplicity and elegance. I made a Getting Warmer for my sister when she got diagnosed with cancer last fall, and it was a therapeutic knit that got me through some really tough nights of not being able to turn my mind off. Thank you. 💛

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Congrats on finishing your first sweater!! So glad to hear that your knitting is helping you through difficult times, and we hope that your sister is staying warm with her lovingly knit cowl and is doing better:-)

[@aspenandwool1467]

Espace Tricot, thank you for your sweet reply. 💛

[@elizabethzmetana6229]

Another brilliant podcast! Your friendship makes me happy :-). Lots of great ideas for what to knit next. Happy springtime.

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

So happy to hear that our friendship inspires you! Thanks for sharing:-)

[@teresasleeper2458]

Ladies, You are both so adorable 😊 Lisa, your description is of falling asleep and knitting mistakes is Exactly what I have done too. I woke up and was like,” wth did I DO?” 😂

[@ellenkennedy796]

You two are my favourite podcasters. Absolutely love your format, your vibe, the clarity of the information that is always on screen regarding patterns, yarn and designers. The quality of your sound and picture is the most professional of ALL the podcasts I’ve watched and I never feel motion sick with you guys! I have to fill the space in between your podcasts with others but oh the joy when I see you have posted a new episode! Yes, you DEFINITELY need to keep making podcasts!!! LOVE your work.

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Wow! Thank you so much Ellen for such wonderful praise! We film on our iphone if you can believe it! We keep thinking we are not very professional but after your comments we just might need to rethink that (hee! hee!)

[@ellenkennedy796]

Espace Tricot LoL, I feel like I’m 12 years old and my favourite rock stars have just messaged me! Hahahaha! On a more serious note, the warmth and generosity of your personalities shines through. The fact that you have gorgeous products to show from your shop is definitely an additional element that is really enjoyable for me but most importantly your measured pace and attention to detail really puts your podcast in an elite category. You two have found your calling!! So very well done. Love you both!

[@marynolan6627]

lovely as always and wonderful knitting ideas! Ciao, ciao!

[@vallerievalentine4780]

I enjoy watching your podcasts. I love your designs. Simply elegant. Thank you for easy to follow patterns that become wardrobe staples! You two are big screen stars at our house!!

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Ha! Ha! Thanks so much for your enthusiasm Vallerie and we are so happy that you like our simple modern style:-)

[@monicavoth6150]

Love love love your podcast! A note about the Fiskars TSA travel scissors that Lisa talks about: I bought that exact pair for some international travels last summer and they were confiscated in Istanbul and thrown away. They were still in the package and I briefly tried to protest but they insisted on throwing them out. I have never had any issues flying with knitting needles and I fly frequently through the USA, Europe, and Middle East. Scissors are a different story. So far the only scissors that have been universally ignored by security are my Hiya Hiya tiny kitty snips (very small and have a cover). Anyways, just thought I'd mention that not every country/airport cares if it's TSA approved.

[@mYakTibetanFibers]

Great podcast Lisa and Melissa and thank you for featuring mYak Yarns and explaining so well how the colors depends on the ‘mood’ of the yaks 😱😱! Hipster looks fabulous Melissa and I’m still recovering from watching Lisa in pink!!

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Ha! Ha! Thanks Paola! I am begging Spring to come!!

[@wendybrookes1878]

Love your podcasts. Great energy. So positive.

[@paulacarli1181]

Love your podcast. I look forward to see what you are making, your yarns, your products. I am in LOVE with the Cohana Bag and assessories!! Thank you for taking the time to share your trips and merchandise.

[@gerisheehan2684]

thank you for another wonderful podcast full of ideas and inspiration!

[@gwenrisser7874]

Thank you so much for another wonderful episode. Love your friendly style and such informative chatter. =)

[@dargconroy6697]

Love all of your podcasts. Please keep podcasting from your store - if you were in a studio we wouldn’t get the glorious yarn backdrops.

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Touché!

[@eveliengrannyg945]

Hey Girls, love to watch this podcast every time again! Lot's of Knitting love from The Netherlands!!!

[@colleendraper5564]

Another informative and enjoyable episode! I look forward to your wips and designs always classy!Also have to thank you for great customer service I have received placing orders and yes I feel as though you are one of my LYS long distance from Saskatchewan!

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

So great to hear Colleen that we can be your LYS!! We are indeed a big community!

[@7gloryf]

Great episode, as always!

[@karengrammieknitterbug7902]

I love your podcast. Y'all are so delightful to watch. Love all the products that you carry in the store.

[@lauriel5543]

the first episode I watched and it was so nice listening to you both, especially the little bits of french. I felt like I was listening to my Memere and her sisters again. They all went to boarding school in Canada, but lived here in Rhode Island and Connecticut. Thank you

[@pattishanks3788]

I’m always so pleased when I see a new podcast from you two! So entertaining, fun and informative.

[@murielledore4888]

A lovely episode, as always! It was so nice to meet you at EYF! I'll be in MTL at the beginning of June, and will try to stop by your store. :) Greetings from Switzerland,

[@mYakTibetanFibers]

Wow and the kits of Lilia and Gau Cowl look fabulous !!! And you pronounced the Tibetan names perfectly. It is indeed true that we only offered our new Tibetan Cashmere to only very few stores around the world and you are one of them ( as you are one of my favorite 🤫)

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Yay!! I am making a little triangle shawl pattern with the cashmere as we speak!

[@adavelaar]

Thank you thank you thank you for adding the fading kits. The online community thanks you. I bought one in order to make fading point 😁

[@bogdem9610]

I totally love your aesthetic because it’s my aesthetic. Simple, clean lines. So please keep doing your thing and showing all the great knits.

[@TheBlueMouseKnits]

You two are an absolute delight to watch! Your friendship just shows through so well and makes the podcast so much more enjoyable. I look forward to each episode, keep up the great work :)

[@joannecrate1486]

Love all of it and you two with much appreciation. You give so much and although I have only shopped on line from your store the service has been above and beyond. 🥂🙏🏼👏🤸🏼‍♀️💥

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Merci beaucoup ☺️

[@shelley9599]

Best podcasters ever..:) Thank you so much!

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Aahhh thanks so much!!

[@dianneross2801]

Thank you 🙏 my prize arrived about two weeks after your email. So thrilled with the yarn, beautiful colours. I don’t know which made me more excited the fact I won the giveaway or that you mentioned my name on your podcast. I was watching it on the big TV in the family room and my husband heard it and said “ you are a celebrity “ 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Love all the pretty colours of the spring / summer projects.

[@onthecoast8]

G'day from Sydney Australia! Absolutely love, love, love your podcasts ladies. So interesting, natural and fun. Patterns and yarns are fab. Can't wait for the next podcast and your shop is definitely on my list of places to visit if I ever to get to Montreal! :)

[@lizroblin158]

I love watching your podcast i just received my order from you, thank you Amalia for helping me with my order:) The Tanis yarn in Red Label Cashmere colour way Stone is one of the most beautiful yarns, I can"t stop squeezing it so thank you Liz

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

So glad you love it Liz! That yarn is one of my all time favorites!!

[@mrsjudys]

Relaxing, enjoyable and made me smile. Thanks for the inspiration! ❤️

[@cherylshelton1997]

Oh, Girls! Wait until you hit 70 yrs. Mentally I feel like I'm still in my 30's, but when I don't get my 9 - 10 hrs of sleep ....well let's just say I'm not a pretty sight :) Just love your podcast. I'm watching in Oklahoma.

[@lolafabulous7]

Ladies!!! I am loving your color choices in your wips! You are so inspiring me to get to the finish line on my crescent shawl I began like 2 months ago (new job is getting in the way if my knitting!!!). You two always give such wonderful inspiration and positivity to even the most complicated of patterns. You both have such a "can do it" mindset. Love it. and LOVE your podcasts so much. Thank you

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

We are so happy to inspire and yes, we can do whatever we all set our minds too, but not always right away! Even our job gets in the way of our knitting (hee! hee!)

[@marshajocroy7615]

You two inspire me!!

[@beckywhitt7356]

Look at the colors you are wearing!! Look great.

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Imagine, we are finally getting there:-)

[@TheMellis01]

Thank you, so very inviting with such wonderful products. 😁👍🏻

[@ashleighrichman9035]

Melissa-- that mustard Myak looks fabulous on you-- really brings out your eyes!

[@bettystine8724]

Lisa, that Rose Cardigan is going to turn out beautiful. The orange looked a bit bright in the skein, but it is perfect knit up. Love your Boho Blush too, Melissa. Love all the patterns you introduced - keeps me motivated.

[@alexandrinatorres3421]

You are a designer, I love your patterns. I love that they are simple and elegant. I have a made your getting warmer cowl twice and have three more of your patterns ready to get them started. Please don’t change the way they are. I can’t wait to meet you ladies.

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Thanks so much Alexandrina and we are so happy to hear that you love our patterns! it certainly encourages us to keep on going:-)

[@laurenbaldwin4191]

I feel you! I can still party (knit) like a rock star but I can't recover like a rock star!

[@kaneezmerali8081]

really looking forward to the labienaimee yarn;)) . you just enabled me to spend a little more

[@corrinneroach7229]

Absolutely brilliant as always. I so look forward to your podcasts. You never disappoint. I’m hoping to make the Tegna so I was very interested in that and I always jot down bits and pieces along the way to make or investigate at a later date. You are by far my favourite podcast. Keep them coming 😁😘😘

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Thank so much for your support and kind words:-)

[@debnew6195]

I love simple, beautiful designs that look store bought. I feel like that can be taken badly but for me if it looks store bought then it looks elegant! Thanks for the great inspiration you share in all your podcasts ❤️🇦🇺

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

You have a good point Deb, thanks so much for sharing!

[@nicolaking2704]

Another lovely podcast. Have just bought the Hipster pattern and have ordered some yarn to make it - you've inspired me...as you always do! Best Wishes..

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Great to hear Nicole! I have been wearing mine non stop and I love it, I am sure you will too!

[@yettaoshea8869]

Love watching you! If it weren’t for you guys I wouldn’t have known about some of the fantastic yarns out there. The closest yarn shop is half an hour drive and quite small. Unfortunately, Upstate NY does not have a lot of LYS. My youngest is starting college in the Fall up on the Canadian border of NY only about 2:5 hrs from Montreal. Perhaps, I will have to take a trip up to see your wonderful city after dropping him at school. Will bring my yarn shopping list and stop in when I do. Keep up the good work!

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Please do stop by! We always head across the border for Sunday drives and indeed 2 and a half hours is nothing!!

[@juliehertel21]

I love your podcast, ladies. Fascinating projects and yarns. And the friendly rapport you two have just makes me feel like I am sitting down with friends. I purchased my first skein of yak-silk blend from a local grower-spinners at Knitting in the Heartland last weekend. And wait to try it. If I like the band and say it works up, I will be buying more.

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Thanks so much Julie! So happy to hear that we can connect with you through our online vibes!!

[@MariaM-yn9tl]

🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 Welcome back home. Great podcast. I really enjoy watching while I'm crocheting or knitting. Wonderful seeing you on Kristy & Danielle's podcast the EYF videos of the "Awesome Team"" wish I was there with all of you. You all looked like you had a blast. Glad to see you back. Well planned out podcast loved all your featured segments. Lisa so glad to see your wrist recovery coming along so well. I have severe arthritis pain in my left hand. Any healthy remedies to suggest. I have tried Apple 🍎 cider vinegar & turmeric & lemon 🍋. Glad you're able to get back into knitting so fast. Wish I lived close by your store to experience the fun store vibe but I live in NJ. Maybe some day; you're on my bucket list. 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

[@sophielewing5959]

Merci Lisa et Melissa! Podcast génial, comme d'habitude! Bises, Sophie from NJ

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Merci Sophie:-))

[@taecampbe]

I have been drooling over the hipster shawl !!

[@beckywhitt7356]

Love the flying vee. So flattering. Going to buy pattern.

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

It is flattering indeed!

[@heikek.b.2154]

I just knitted the Hipster Shaw in color "Desert" and love it. I`m a tight knitter too and found the Indian Cross row unbearable. so I swapped the left need just for this row into a much thinner metal needle. That works great. 🙋‍♀

[@nodosalu]

Oh yes La Bien-aimée yarns 😃 comming soon !!! thanks girls

[@brendawyber4047]

Yea Love your podcast and especially your esthetic for designs. I just love letting my yarn be the star with lovely smile designs. On holidays so I am watching you on my computer, and the god thing is I can commit easily. When I watch you on the large screen at home, I have not figured out how to add comments. Keep up the good work. Can't wait for you guys to have a retreat, or do a group visit to EYF. None of my friends want to travel that far, and I do not want to go by myself. Think about it????

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Thanks Brenda for being such a strong supporter of ours! We will get to organizing something ... eventually ... one of these days!!

[@suzannedickinson2847]

I’m an extremely tight knitter.... thanks for the tip on gauge on Joji’s Hipster.... saved me beaucoups frustration!!!👌🏻🧡🧡🧡

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

We are happy to oblige:-)

[@jacquelinepirotta]

[@rachelwidmer2121]

[@rosiebill2817]

I can't wait to knit the European road trip shawl. It's going to be my knitting when I go to pick my son up from school.

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Sounds like a good plan Rosie! A no brainer and one that you can pick up and pt down easily;-)

[@aletasneed3832]

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Thanks Glenda!

[@miraremh]

So much fun to knit to your podcasts ... and then there's always a new yarn or pattern that I want to work with afterwards! If possible, I'd love to know what the green yarn to left of Lisa's head is called. The Adelaide color is beautiful as well. Thank you!

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

On my left is Sweet Georgia Flaxen on my right is Espace tricot Petit Lin + (there was one green right at the edge on this side) Hope this information helps!

[@PopleBackyardFarm]

loved watching

[@kaknoblach]

Loved the show this week! Did you happen to watch The Fat Squirrel's episode about her handmade tool kit caddy?. It was amazing and looks just like that beautiful one you shared. If i can find the exact episode, I will link.

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

And I am sure that it is much more affordable 😂 Thanks for the tip!

[@paulafcooper3794]

Love your podcast. I have been knitting for just over a year and stumbled across your channel soon after. I have recommended your podcast to several of my knitting friends. Adore your style. Off topic just a bit, Melissa l love the eyelet blouse you’re wearing if you care to share, where did you find the blouse? Thank you. Lisa, I’m knitting on the european road trip shawl now.

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Great to hear that you are knitting the Road Trip shawl, have fun! As for Melissa's top, it is from a little local shop from a long time ago;-)

[@teresephelps6263]

Use interchangeable needles and switch to a small on the left needle the row after the yarn overs. This way you have a smaller needle to move the yo through to be knitted. Then switch the needle back - yes extra work but easier then fighting with the yo's

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

I have indeed contemplated that Terese! I know myself though and I will forget to change back needles at some point!

[@patachou111]

Do you have the exact date for the La bien aimée pop up shop event and also, will it be available online or just in store? I am sooo excited!!!

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

It will be available online and in store. It will be sometime in June but we don't have an exact confirmed date just yet, stay tuned!

[@sallysummerfield9952]

I’m making myself finish a sweater and then I’m casting on the Hipster in a white Hempathy linen/ cotton blend to use for summer

[@marieking-stevason1775]

Amazing episode ladies!!! I don’t suppose that you are going to the Toronto Knitter’s Frolic on April 28th?? (tomorrow) It would be awesome to meet you both!! Love the projects, and yes, you’re a designer, Lisa!!! Have a lovely weekend!! Happy knitting from Ontario!! ❤️Marie

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Thanks for the little nudge Marie;-) Unfortunately we have not yet made it to the Knitter's Frolic in Toronto, hopefully one of these days!!

[@marieking-stevason1775]

Espace Tricot Well I hope that you get a chance to go some time, it’s not huge, but I haven’t seen any rushing or pushing like I’ve heard at bigger festivals. Have a wonderful evening!!

[@rnchimilar]

I think silk cloud in rose with hedgehog yarn together would be a very nice combo complementary to skin tone. I so want to do hipster have to find the perfect color have some yak in red may do in the fallove the podacast thanks for sharing with us.

[@danellesergent3731]

Love your podcasts and positive attitudes! I've been eyeing up the Big Brother and Little Brother cases. Which size do you like to use to put your notions, stitch markers, and scissors in?

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

I use the large one as my main Notions Pouch and the smaller one for on the go when I need specific tools for a project and I throw it in my project bag!

[@danellesergent3731]

Espace Tricot Thank you!!!!

[@jennychow1266]

Yea!!! LaBien Aimee!!!
