Espace Tricot Podcast - Episode 27

[@TheKnittingPlace]

Ah always so great to see you two! Great Podcast as always! Had so much fun with you in New York. Thanks again for coming to the shop, hanging with you is always fun and so natural 😘 See you at EYF!

[@TheKnittingPlace]

Lisa you’ve inspired me to finish my Rose Cardigan. However, I’m only 1 quadrant into it! Not likely for EYF. Oh well. 😘

[@cynthiasalow2034]

I love your podcast and designs I just finished my turtle dove. I want to thank you for so generously offering your designs for free can tell a lot of time and creativity have gone into them!

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Thanks so much Cynthia for your recognition ☺️ We love creating and slowly we feel that we are getting a little better at it 😉

[@dianescott3515]

Always enjoy your podcast. I love seeing your beautiful projects!

[@jennxknits]

I was so happy to meet the both of you at VKL. It was the highlight of my trip. You are both so lovely and friendly! Thank you for taking the time!

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

☺️ So happy to have obliged and thanks so much for touching base with us again 😊

[@lisawierzbicki4994]

As always, love your podcast and this one was filled to the brim! I’m stuck in the hospital but Knitting and watching you gals has lifted my spirits!

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Hope you are doing ok Lisa and we are happy to hear that we can provide you with a little company 😊

[@mariewilliams6244]

You ladies are so very knowledgeable! I love your podcast! It was nice seeing you two at Vogue Knitting Live NY. Stay sweet!!!

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Thanks Marie!!

[@knittingwithquills7008]

First time watching you guys, and I enjoyed it. So much information! Thanks for sharing the book as well.

[@JohnlynHD]

I wish I lived close to your store. I would spend all my spare cash on your beautiful yarns and join any workshops that you run in the store. I do attend a knit and natter group in a local yarn store in South Wales but it tends to stock lower end budget yarns. Your podcasts are so inspiring and you’re so generous with your patterns too. I love Melissa’s new sweater. It’s stunning. Thank you again for a lively, informative podcast. I may add that you do not come across as remotely nervous. X Angela. P.S some older knitters have suggested that knitting on steel needles make arthritic hands ache more.

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Hi Angela, thanks so much for your lovely words and your encouragement:-) Indeed many people who suffer from hand problems prefer wood needles, but I am such a tight knitter that wood needles end up giving me cramps! 😉😂

[@reginaseeger6960]

As always love your podcast. I took a class/lecture with Carson and bought his book. I believe it is a must have for knitters. Happy knitting.

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

So happy to hear that you have had personal experience with him and his book 😊

[@denisedejose718]

Those sleeves on the Cedar Point sweater are just perfect! They make that sweater!Definitely going to make that one! Bravo!

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

I agree (this is Lisa speaking 😉)

[@ThisIsLesli]

So funny that Jan and Wille stayed up knitting with you in the lobby (as per your usual festival after-hours ritual, with some Prosecco, perhaps...?). They were the FIRST knitters I ran into on my way to the subway storm, and they were EARLY, so we all grabbed breakfast before meeting Kristy at Sephora. ❤️Another delightful episode with you lovely ladies. I am SWOONING over your Cedar Point. It has to be my next cast-on. Merci mille fois. 😘

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Love the story Lesli and so happy that you shared it with us!! Hope you had a great time at VKL also!!!

[@thoughtsofjoyk]

You two are just so delightful! 🤗

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

🙏😊

[@hisalone7166]

Love every podcast that you girls have put out. Never boring, always entertaining and your generosity of free patterns is amazing!!! Lisa, I am patiently (NOT).....LOL....waiting for your shawl pattern. Wanting to cast it on right away! I’ll be checking Ravelry periodically. Blessings to you both! Beverly

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Thanks so much Beverly for your sweet words and for sticking by us! I'll get the pattern out ASAP 😂!

[@hisalone7166]

Espace Tricot You’re a doll..!!!!!!!

[@patriciagabrielides3146]

Great episode, as always. 💗 I have made three Kyler shawls after seeing it on a previous episode.... One for me, one for my daughter and one for my son's girlfriend. I so enjoyed knitting them. After watching this episode, I am going to make the En Voyage and the Santa Fe. 🐨🇦🇺🏖

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

That sounds fab Patricia!! You go girl 💪

[@lamhitac.szarafinski6385]

Ohhhhh wow the over easy sweater is looking like my Most worn and most loved mohair sweater that I have knit in the 80 ies Exact this color 😍😍😍😍

[@gilliantherese7202]

This is the first time that I've watched a full podcast of yours & I've really enjoyed this episode. I have more than a few of your patterns--Cedar Point is sitting right here next to me--& I can't wait to cast them on. Loved all the finished objects & book reviews. Merci pour le partage! :-D

[@pattymcreynolds9991]

Thanks so much for another fun podcast. You're always so inspiring.👍❤ Patty

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

[@kathybretl5280]

Thanks for this podcast, Lisa and Melissa!!!

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Our pleasure 😊

[@stephanied8813]

It was so nice to spend time with you, it's been a while !!

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

😊

[@leochard1124]

Fabulous to catch up with you, Friday night knitting, Espace Tricot podcast and wine = great night in. More to add to knitting list ;)

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Sounds like my kind of night 😂

[@nilbeseoglu]

So happy to see you again! It felt like it has been ages since the last episode. ☺️

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

It was! We get stage fright every time we think of filming, so one of us usually postpones 😂

[@katserpaful]

I ❤️you guys! I love your podcast! I love your designs! I want to knit every one of them!

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

☺️😁🙏

[@linelemieux9518]

Ladies, you just made my day. Thanks!

[@flourchylde]

What a great podcast. I already downloaded the Cedar Point. Thank you so much. I can't wait to cast it on in navy blue and soft grey.

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Now that's my kind of colourway (Lisa) 😉😁

[@allthatjazz6778]

love you podcast, all of them. i re-watch them too. i wish i could see the design of the tartan but it was too dark for my old eyes. i'm sure it is beautiful as they always are. i'm already looking forward to your next show. :)

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Thanks so much for all your dedication!! Once I block out the pattern it will be easier to see and I might brighten up the photo a little 😉.

[@dianatheriault2913]

It's pricey here in the states as well! I bought enough for a hat and it will be the most expensive hat I will ever knit. THANK YOU for a smart alternative. Now I'll be able to knit up Andrea's shawls.

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Yay!!

[@pomponlainecafe7965]

Oh, it was nice to bump into you too! :)

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

😊

[@FiberTales]

Melissa you look amazing in that sweater ❤️ Well done! Thank you for another lovely episode with a lot of beautiful knits! and the sweet things you said about my design! 🤗🤗

[@ruthcomfort4735]

I thought it was a dress when I saw it in clips on different podcasters VKL I can see it longer with black tights and black heels 👠 so stunning!

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Thank you so much Laerke! And congratulations again on your beautiful new design in Laine!!

[@sandybassett4901]

You made my filing at work fly by as I watched this episode. Nice to hear about your trip to Vogue Knitting Live. Hopefully, one day soon I can place an order with you! ~StitchedbyMimi

[@rnchimilar]

Love the shift with colors of noro great alternative. Melissa love the sweater suits you. Nice to see Lisa love the shawls. BrambleKnits 🇨🇦

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Thanks so much for your lovely comments!

[@noodlebeeful]

ha ha... "storm the subway at midnight"... I'm watching this while knitting at midnight. Glad to know there are other night owls!

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

😉😁

[@filfamily2741]

It was wonderful to see you ladies again at VKL. Our little knitting posse from Connecticut always enjoy chatting with you! Lisa, I also bought a skein of Molly Girl's No Sleep 'till Brooklyn from Woolyn last fall. Did you know that this yarn glows in black light?!?! Super cool!!

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

I know!! Now I need to buy a black light 😂 Indeed it is great that we all get to catch up at knitting events!!

[@mireillegiroux6691]

The best knitting podcast!

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Tu es trooooppp fine Mireille 😊🙏

[@catrionabaird3756]

Great podcast ladies! Just wanted to mention the Spincycle yarn also available in Ancaster (Hamilton area) at The Needle Emporium. Julie has a great selection there! Thank you.

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Thanks! Yes, that's a great store:-)

[@melissafauna]

Lovely podcast ladies! Had fun hearing about VKL. I'll be visiting Montreal next month and Espace Tricot is on my must-do list!

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

That's great Melissa and hopefully we'll run into you!! Thanks for your kind words:-)

[@needle_nut7501]

Just started watching, but Lisa you look fantastic!! Hair change- color, part, whatever it is suits you so well. Just had to say! Cheryl

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Thanks Cheryl, I am blushing!! I think you are the only one who noticed 🤣

[@sophielewing5959]

Merci pour ce nouveau podcast! It was great bumping into both of you at VKL! A bientôt!

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Avec plaisir Sophie! On se voit au prochain festival 😉

[@redjewel1864]

Hi Ladies, it was so nice to meet you at VKL. Thanks for the swag😄

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Our pleasure Sharon 😊

[@sandydejesus3523]

YAY, can’t wait to get home from work to watch it!

[@dianeberthelot9487]

I love both of you. Melissa that sweater you are wearing is gorgeous. That is on my list to knit next.

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Thanks so much Diane for your enthusiasm!!

[@nicolefields5917]

Working on Beyla as I watch this! It is a great challenge with three colors at once in some sections. Thanks for all of your overview of VKL.

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

You're quite welcome Nicole 😊

[@anastasiafink1532]

Great podcast, so glad you spoke about your Vogue week! I can't wait to knit up Over Easy and Cedar Point is on my list, it's beautiful! Could you tell me where to find the Zip-t? I'm obviously spelling it wrong & can't find the pattern. Love the lighter color palette on you Lisa, very pretty! Thanks!

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Thanks Anastasia for your kind words and happy to hear that you enjoyed our chitchat! Unfortunately I can't figure out which pattern you are speaking about! Maybe checkout out our show notes on our Ravelry group for more information:-)

[@7gloryf]

Wonderful episode!

[@laurablair9475]

Love you two ladies! Another fabulous edition! What is the name of the store that you went to in NYC for the dance shoes?

[@holliegiampietro7030]

Love you ladies!

[@anneauten2307]

Your smiling faces just make me happy! Xo

[@darneydirocca4187]

Love your sweater. What pattern is it.

[@anneauten2307]

Darney Dirocca Hi Darney 😀 Your comment ended up under my comment, so not sure if they’ll see it, but Melissa is wearing a sweater of her own design, Cedar Point. It’s a FREE Ravelry download 😍. Check it out on their Instagram page. Gorgeous right?

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

It is called Cedar Point:-) @@darneydirocca4187

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

You are too sweet Anne!! Thank you:-)

[@jayshreeshah6245]

love La duca Kick and Cedar point both beautiful patterns. Castonitis :))

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

😊👍

[@SailOnSG]

Melissa, I love the new design you modeled today. I was wondering if I could use Myak or Clinton Hill Cashmere for the beige part of your design and pair it with another less expensive yarn for the body. It seems like having that super soft luxurious yarn in the next/chest area would be heavenly. Those two yarns are out of my reach for a sweater quantity of yarn. It occurred to me that maybe I could indulge in a skein or two for your two color design. (Do you think that would be enough?) Do you have any suggestions of a yarn to pair it with that would complement with a similar soft look but not as luxurious of a yarn? (p.s. Not a fan of mohair or Alpaca.)

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

If you check out the gauge on the pattern you can definitely use complimentary yarns as long as you respect the gauge. Both yarns should be of similar thickness I believe that the Myak is thinner than Clinton Hill Cashmere so I am not sure that they would work well together.

[@susanwingblade1799]

I LOVE all of your projects. That sweater is just amazing and looks beautiful on you, Melissa. Have either of you ever knit with Berroco Andean Mist? Do you think that might be an alternative to the mohair/silk blends? I've tried to use the mohair with merino and it is bothering my skin more than I had hoped. I just love the look! Thanks!!

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Thanks so much for all of your enthusiasm!! Brushed Alpaca can be a substitue for Mohair and there are some nice options out there from Lang (Lusso) or from Drops. Thought the textures and weights can be different you still get a nice fluffy texture with a Halo 😊

[@susanwingblade1799]

Thank you so much. You two are the greatest!!!! Your PC is my very fave!!!!

[@karoljelbert1996]

Lovely podcast.

[@helgasathomewithhercrafts2224]

So glad your going to EYF i am from glasgow and am a fan of your podcast so ill be looking to get a photo.i am going with a friend

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

That's great Helen and I guess we shall see you in a month 😊

[@paulamoss1403]

I live near Chicago and would like more info on the mini VKL you talked about. Thank you

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Unfortunately Paula I know nothing about it except that Natalia from Malojos Jewelry organizes it;-) You can contact her through her website: malojos.myshopify.com

[@christinebeaudoin8703]

You two shine. 🙂

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

☺️🙏

[@tinebdtkjer3561]

@melissa I love the design and color of your Over Easy sweater. Is the color Autum leaves? On my screen your sweater looks more peacy orange than burned orange...Thank you for a fun and interesting podcast both of you from Denmark.

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Yes it is Autumn Leaves and we are happy to hear that you are still enjoying our banter back and forth!

[@3plypodcast]

You can do it all, ladies! And castonitis is not a bad thing. 😍

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

👍

[@heleng9008]

I grew up in Montreal and took the snow clearing for granted UNTIL I moved to Boston. They don’t clear the snow, they just move it up against the cars!! Seriously. Then you have to shovel your car out of a giant snowbank.

[@nwele]

hello from Boston! Oh yes, I can relate to your comment. In Indiana they didn't bother much. One winter the joke was that the city ran out of salt!!!

[@melissafauna]

they do that in Madison Wisconsin, too!

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

I guess we should stop complaining then 🤣

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

@@nwele Love the solidarity over our great North American weather!!

[@beckywhitt7356]

You will love Harrisville. Like a story book.

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Now we really can't wait to go!!

[@keilexandra]

I bought that same Woolyn exclusive colorway -- you know that the dye is blacklight reactive, right? :)

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Yes! But now I have to buy a blacklight 😂 Hope you love it as much as I love mine!

[@Wanderknits21]

Love LOVE love Cedar Point! Such a beautiful design!! I love all your designs. 💜 That is added to my queue!! Melissa, you mentioned the dress you are wearing with it. What is it called? Not sure of the spelling. Thank you!!

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

It is called the Farrow Dress and if you look on our Ravelry project page you will see it modelled with her Ingalls sweater in a tobacco coloruway. So glad that you love Melissa's Sweater as much as we do:-)

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Thanks so much Kim! Looks like Lisa gave you most of the details :-) Yes, it's called the Farrow dress and I made it using a pattern from Grainline Studio. First time I've sewn in years! M.

[@leeanutson]

Great video

[@marthablom5734]

Are you guys going to the first Vogue knitting in Maine on the 8th or the latter one on the 11th of April?

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

We're going on the 11th :-)

[@carolclaibornemumey8919]

If only the snow removal were half as good in Calgary!!

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

😂

[@dueekarine1601]

Bonjour☺️ j’adore ce que vous faites c’est magnifique !!!! comment faire pour avoir le patron en français de celui que vs portez il est tellement beauuuuuu🥺

[@pninabutilkov]

You can use Arnika for this pains. I use it and it's help me.

[@Joellencox]

Do you alternate the skeins on the nightshades shawl or not if you are using the Noro Yarn?

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Yes we did alternate skein and you can check our notes on our Ravelry Project page for the details 😊

[@carinaotterclou528]

Hi gays I cant find the pattern for the supernice ”Over easy” at Ravelry, do you know what happend with that?

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Because it hasn't been posted yet 😉 But it's on its way soon! 😊

[@MsAlen74]

❤❤❤

[@kittyknitter411]

Beautiful knit wear. 🧶

[@melindazeccardirusso1587]

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

Unfortunately it does 😉

[@vanessaofthecrossevers2335]

ladies alot of beautiful cute things you make i luv the hats i just bought my 1st crochet hook i need a wooden one i bought the hook from clover at michaels art store my knitting needles are bamboo

[@lindastormonth4764]

Got a bit confused there when you started talking about your burrow? What! Is she really a hobbit? 😬 Then I realised you meant “borough”/burgh”! Aaaaah! Get it now ☺️

[@EspaceTricotPodcast]

It must be my Montreal Anglophone accent!! Borough is actually a word we don't really use in Montreal unless we are talking to foreigners 😂 Even English speakers say Quartier!!
