Everything We Knit in 2023 - Accessories (Part 1)

[@jessicalila3712]

I love how you phrased your opening to this video as you both are in a season where you can knit a lot. I remember not having as much crafting time when my son was small. Now that he's a teen I have a lot more time for myself which I love. I wish that I could go back and tell myself that it's ok to take a little MORE time when he was small. I started out mostly quilting when he was young which was not as portable obviously. Now I knit everywhere I have to take him (sports practices, games, etc.). I hope you both have a wonderful 2024! Looking forward to more of your videos. I'm an OG viewer but I loved seeing the items you knit before you started your podcast.

[@thosetwinswhoknit]

Thank you so much for watching and sharing your experience! We’re very grateful to be in seasons of our lives where we can dedicate to knitting, but the beauty of it is that even when we aren’t it’ll still be there and part of our lives. ☺️ Glad to hear you are in a place where you can also dedicate more time to it! Wishing you and your family a happy New Year!

I knit a Gro hat last year as a Christmas gift for my mother out of Cascade 220. It turned out WAY too small too. I gifted it to a 6 yo and it was absolutely perfect! I tend to think that the hat's pattern is on the smaller size. I remember reading other projects notes who said that the hat turned out too small for them as well. I knit a different hat for my mother (the Llariega) which is actually more her style (out of Brooklyn Tweed Arbor) and which she loves. I knit a Sophie scarf with the left over yarn and it made a lovely set. Congratulations on so many beautiful knit pieces! I've been watching your podcast for a while now and it's my first time leaving a comment. I'm looking forward to seeing what you will knit in 2024! Happy new year from France!

[@thosetwinswhoknit]

I’m glad I’m not the only one who found the Gro hat was small! I hope the six year old enjoys it as the motif around the hat is beautiful! Thank you for the kind words ☺️ have a wonderful New Year as well!

[@jamiethrogmorton2540]

The lateral braid on the socks was brilliant!!

[@stinefriishals]

So many pretty accessories! I’m always so impressed by people who’s found their colours, and your colour palette suits the both of you so well.

[@susanklinefelter643]

You two are fantastic. I really enjoy your videos and what you choose to knit. I even love the color choices! It’s great to listen to you two compliment each other and just banter back and forth. I really appreciate your videos. Will you ever do a Q&A? I’d love to know who taught you to knit, how long you’ve been knitting, if you’re close enough to help each other with harder knits (not like you two ever take on anything easy!)…. Thanks again!

[@thosetwinswhoknit]

Thank you so much! We love the idea of doing a knit-and-chat, so hopefully it’s something we will have time for in the new year!

[@carolynlambert6989]

G’day, wishing you both the happiest of new year 2024 and looking forward to your great episodes. 🇦🇺⭐️⭐️🎉🎶🎶

[@myrtleknits3353]

Hiya, lots of lovely knits by you both 😊

[@clearwater7000]

Everything I see is beautiful! Very talented and fast knitters! Amaaazing! ❤

[@QueensYarnBoutique]

Excellent projects y'all! 👏🏾 Especially the hats and scarves. 🧶

[@notaclue822]

Gorgeous knits as usual. I can't wait to see part 2.

[@sandrabrooke5900]

I also have knitted the Manhattan hat. I love it and the way it sticks up on top. I have seen hats like it on tv movies. I love the Sophie scarf too. Love your podcast.

[@ajborthwick7239]

You gave me so many ideas for next year!! I love Mina Phillips patterns for socks as they can be done toe up or cuff down and they’re interesting.

[@thosetwinswhoknit]

Ohh we are always looking for new sock patterns so we will check those out! Thank you for the recommendation!

[@mostlyknitting]

Loved seeing all the accessories you made. Rachel, i just started the Manhattan Hat by Tori Yu and it looks almost the same as the Stockholm Hat. I am uncertain that i can carry off that peak on the top of the hat but I am willing to give it a go. It looks great on you and i think it would suit my 18 year old daughter if i decide it is just too much of a statement look for me. I am inspired to make the Breeze Bag as well. Your versions are really stylish. We live near the beach and i think it would make a great gift knit for my daughter. Looking forward to your garment video. Thanks for sharing. :)

[@SundayMorningKnits]

I definitely want to knit both of those adorable bags you two have made!! Such stunning colour palettes and pattern choices as always 💛 thank you for a wonderful podcast and I can't wait for the next part!

[@thosetwinswhoknit]

Thank you so much! We’d love to see your end of year recap if you plan to do one! ☺️🤍

[@_Kathryn_Creates]

I loved seeing all your accessories from this year! I also have a slight obsession with Coast to Coast yarn and know I will be buying more in the 2024 year as well!

[@veronikaneroj85]

[@mondayswithfran]

It was just such a cool episode! I enjoy your color palette a lot

[@suraghazal1119]

just found your channel and love it so far! as for the mini shawls maybe wearing them as a head accessory, like a bandana.....

[@thosetwinswhoknit]

Good thought! We’ll definitely need to try that soon!

[@renamessenger6397]

Love this program. Your mature are just beautiful and inspiring. I just completed the Musselburgh hat and the Classic Rib Hat. Great TV watching knitting. Can’t wait to see your garments in the next video.

[@thosetwinswhoknit]

Thank you for watching and for the kind words ☺️

[@elainewilliams497]

Loved this episode so much fun and inspiration thank you 🧶🌺

[@mipithelabel]

Oh I love everything that you guys have knit and can't wait for part two! Hope you had a lovely Christmas and I look forward to seeing videos again in 2024 ❤ Wishing you happiness and health ✨

[@knitthiscrochetthat]

I saw Coast to Coast’s instagram posts on the January preorder and immediately thought of you guys! Loved this video, can’t wait to see part 2!

[@thosetwinswhoknit]

Thank you! We definitely have our calendars marked in preparation for her coffee house preorder! 😅

[@Meredith36]

Wow! Such amazing knits! Happy knitting 💚🧶💚 and Happy New Year 🎆

[@Elianaalfonso7703]

You guys are amazing knitters. Beautiful accessories

[@bethl3173]

Happy Holidays! Loved seeing all your projects! Gave me many things to add to my too long queue! Beautiful projects, looking forward to the garments. Take care!

[@GillianKnits]

I loved seeing all of the socks you both knit! My favorite sock pattern this year was the Yuki Watari socks by Yucca. All of her patterns are great and often toe up.

[@thosetwinswhoknit]

Yucca has so many beautiful patterns! I don’t think either of us have made any of her patterns, but we will have to change that soon!

[@s.aliciawarren4283]

Your knitting is spectacular! Keep up the great work!

[@eviola2442]

I love both of your sense of style and color selection in so many of these knits! Do you happen to remember what color of Alpakka Ull Jessica used for the Sophie Shawl? It's the perfect white/cream!

[@thosetwinswhoknit]

Thank you! It’s the color “Almond 2511”. Hope this helps! ☺️

[@eviola2442]

@@thosetwinswhoknit thank you! That was my guess based on the colors you usually used from them, but wanted to be sure - I don't have a store near me that stocks it so I appreciate the color help! ☺️

[@carolynsted5453]

I really loved this video. You both create such wonderful content that I went back and started all the way from episode one. Thanks for the inspiration!! I look forward to the next episode. I’ll definitely be casting on a pair of Poet socks and Auni socks! Happy New Year!!

[@thosetwinswhoknit]

Thank you so much!! We hope you love the poet and auni socks as much as we do! Happy New Year! 🤗🤍

[@leenalahtinen9731]

Whatever you knit,they all look amazing ❤ I'm also glad that you've chosen Finnish designers for your projects and don't worry you prononce their names just fine! (Kostamovaara is Maria's surname,not i in the end) Keep knitting ladies❣️

[@spenserhardin8790]

Hello from Iowa! I enjoy your channel - I’m always so inspired to make some of the items you’ve both tried after watching! Excited to watch your garment part 2! Merry Christmas and happy new year!

[@thosetwinswhoknit]

Thank you! Have a lovely Christmas and happy New Year as well! 🤍

[@kendrawheeler314]

Love all of your choices!!!

[@Plantsandmusicandyarn]

I have plans to knit the grow hat! Also, my favorite socks I knit this year were probably the oolong socks by Aimee sher makes! I also test knit the nest socks by songbird handmade (the fingering weight version) and I would love to knit another pair in a DK. Can’t wait to see your garments version! I have a lot of coast to coast yarn too 😅 I’m excited for her store to open!

[@thosetwinswhoknit]

Both of those sock patterns are so beautiful! A dk version would be so cozy! We are so excited for the Coast to Coast shop opening! Hopefully it works out that will we be able to visit when it opens or shortly afterwards! 😊

[@MySweetT1]

Mini shawl can be a head scarf

[@thosetwinswhoknit]

Good idea! I’m going to give that a try! ☺️

[@jodiealaoui7293]

You both do beautiful work! Happy New Year!🎊

[@jennychan2062]

you both are amazing knitters!! do you both knit english style? i'd love to see a video on how you both knit :D

[@thosetwinswhoknit]

Thank you so much! We do both knit English style! We didn’t even realize there were other styles until we had already been knitting for several years!

[@Eiveyb]

I love your channel! Do you knit your socks with magic loop?

[@thosetwinswhoknit]

Thank you! We both prefer to use double pointed needles for our socks :)

[@rosellajohnson40]

Just an idea, but couldn't you use your small scarves for head bandanas?😊

[@thosetwinswhoknit]

Ohh I love this idea! We’ll have to try it 🤗💛

[@sofiamagdalena007]

everything you make is so beautiful :) if you were curious, the designer veera välimäki is pronounced like vera valley mackey 👍

[@thosetwinswhoknit]

Thank you so much!! That is so helpful! I have just found her recently but her designs are beautiful. ☺️

[@kathieeidem5670]

Do you ladies knit your socks on circular needles or dpns or majic loop

[@thosetwinswhoknit]

We both prefer double pointed needles when working socks!

[@ewasmith3085]

Sorry to correct you but 'aloft' is pronounced with the same 'A' sound as 'Alice.' It means 'up in or into the air.' I use that KnitPicks yarn too. Very good project roundup. I enjoyed the video.

[@thosetwinswhoknit]

Oop thank you for letting me know! We have already recorded our garment version of this video (just haven’t finished editing) so please forgive my pronunciation in that video should you choose to watch it! I’ll know for next time ☺️
