Great new space and background for Fiber Hustle episodes. It’s a window a Mrs. Kravitz would love!💕

[@FiberHustle]

Mrs. Kravits is welcome anytime to look in or out of our window. We would love that.

[@jeaninegunn4118]

Great to see you guys again! And how nice to be in new digs with more space to be creative.

[@FiberHustle]

We love the new space. We are not tripping over all our WIPS. Now, they are just hidden in the extra closet space. 😄

[@hannahloades3790]

Thank god your back utube hasn’t been the same without you both hooray 🥳

[@FiberHustle]

Awe. We feel so loved. 🥰

[@DoSoKnits]

Your flock announcement is so exciting! I am excited to see you both there with all your goodies!!! 🎉

[@FiberHustle]

We are so excited to meet you in person!! This is going to be an amazing event.

[@YarnStorieswithOlivia]

Finally had a chance to sit down and spend time with you both and it was great! Sorry to hear of your health Aaron, but happy all is going well and yes, let's game Shamus to 20! poor kitty. The new yarn colorways are gorgeous and your new creative space with that window is a dream!

[@FiberHustle]

Thank you, Olivia. We hope the family turns itself around to all be healthy soon. Will we see you at Flock? I know it's a huge trip.

[@karenjordan1822]

Great to have you back! Congratulations on your new home.

[@FiberHustle]

thank you so much, Karen.

[@siobhanyamada-gu8dr]

Yay!!! I’m so excited I’ll get to see you at Flock again! 😃 I’m going for the whole weekend & I just know it’s going to be so much fun!! 🤩

[@FiberHustle]

We are ready for it!!! Well, we are getting ready for it. 🤣

[@KimClinger]

What a beautiful set!!! So glad you guys are in your new place!

[@FiberHustle]

Thank you, Kim. Still, things to unpack, but we are feeling at home.

[@summerking8659]

Wishing you every happiness in your new home. And of course I do hope that Seamus responds to his new medication and thus spend many more years with you both x

[@FiberHustle]

☺️ Thank you so much. We will try and do everything we can for our little man. 😸

[@lauriew6623]

ridiculous how happy i get when i see you two have a new podcast episode out 😁 and "flock, yeah"... too bad i live on the other side of the country. i know you guys will be a hit there!

[@FiberHustle]

Well, it is ridiculous how happy comments like this make us. It's a big trip out here. Maybe Flock 2025 is in your future? Get yourself to the West Coast.

[@SewingWithLawayne]

Welcome back guys great to see ya.

[@FiberHustle]

Thank you so much.

[@star_athena]

Welcome back cuties! Missed you. Sounds like a lot has been going on and moving is never easy. Good luck with it all and I look forward to seeing more in the new set up! ❤❤❤

[@FiberHustle]

Thank you Star. We are just trying to get all settled. We need to get that all over with so we can get back to knitting and quilting.

[@musthikemusteat4328]

So excited to hear you are vending at Flock!! All the cool people will be there. And your new place looks fabulous!

[@FiberHustle]

Thank you! We are so excited about it, and we hope it is just as amazing as we think it will be.

[@mariagavin8971]

Hot pink and orange=== yes please!!!

[@FiberHustle]

I have not tried that combo yet. I may have to give it a try.

[@peggyhuntley2368]

Add yellow too

[@kdgeckoknits274]

Flock?! Congratulations guys. Maybe I need to flock to flock. Love the lava lamp quilt pieces. So creative. What a lovely idea, to make a wall hanging.

[@FiberHustle]

It's going to be the event of the summer, Karen. If you come up, you must let us know.

[@deborahk1300]

Congratulations on the new home! I so wish I could go to Flock. I visited the area 20 years ago and I agree it is so green. Looking forward to new episodes!

[@FiberHustle]

Yes, we love the green all year long. I guess the rain does help to keep it green. Maybe you can make it to flock next year.

[@BrendanBerg1]

Welcome Back Chip and Aaron...we've missed you! Love the new space and the new stories.

[@FiberHustle]

Thanks so much! More to come!

[@marywilliamson5818]

It's not a flaw, it's a design element, Chip

[@FiberHustle]

Mary, you speak the truth. 🙂

[@KateColors]

Gorgeous things! Congratulations on your new home. ❤

[@FiberHustle]

Thank you, Kate.

[@Graceygoodies]

OMG!! Duran Duran! I had to get it....I liked Journey too and yes Steven Perry has an amazing voice. But I was all about the new "British Invasion" and Duran Duran......and this is perfect for Summer Sock Camp this year, as the theme is 80s/90s...

[@joowen1949]

Aaron your yarns are beautiful and you have inspired me to knit that beautiful green shawl. I am not a quilter but I love seeing the fabric colors I intend to score one of those small sacks. I hope you guys enjoy the flock out of the flock fiber festival.

[@FiberHustle]

I hope you love knitting it as much as I did. Towards the end, you may think, “Will I ever get this finished?” but keep on going. 😄

[@epiknitiologist8005]

I'm going to flock! I'm so excited to see you guys and buy some more of your stuff!!!

[@FiberHustle]

Wool Hoo! We feel it will be an amazing event. Make sure you come see us.

[@marletteclark3227]

Love your fabulous new house. I will see you at Flock and I’m looking forward to exchanging my money for more of your yarn and a Chip Sack

[@FiberHustle]

We are so excited for Flock. Please stop by for a hello and some yummy yarn goodies. Mainly for the hello 👋 😃

[@janemarriott3389]

Oh oh oh Gotta get my beverage! Be right back! Hey I love my Chip beg!❤

[@FiberHustle]

Hopefully, it was a great drink while you visited with us.

[@cozzaac]

Congratulations on the new house. I'm looking forward to seeing more episodes 😉

[@FiberHustle]

We look forward to you being there with us. 😄

[@lindafromtheeastcoast]

Beautiful background! Congratulations on your new home.

[@FiberHustle]

Thank you so much, Linda.

[@tammyredmon4703]

Great to visit with you both again!! Love seeing your quilts and knits, and yarn! Had to pause towards the end to see if there was any more Journey left! 🎉 There was!! Enjoy your new home… and now I’m looking up Flock. I’m in MT so it may take some extra planning. 🤔💰

[@FiberHustle]

MT is not super far away, and it would be a fantastic summer drive to head on over to Seattle! If you go to Flock, make sure you say hello.

[@bethmcnally2282]

Awww...You're both something!! It's Purl Soho yarn - Good Wool Yarn (100% wool) - totally washable (probably should have told you that). I'm so glad it made it to you. And I truly can't buy Duran Duran yarn fast enough. Obsessed...You're hilarious!! ❤

[@FiberHustle]

We love it!!! Chip was wrapped up in it last night during drag race. Rio and Journey are in the shop right now. 😃

[@paulastoner499]

I checked out hotels then went to look at travel options, then thought to myself... Girl, you don't have the knockers to take that trip, lol. I am very excited for you both though. Lots of good news!

[@FiberHustle]

You must make it part of your 2025 plan, Paula. All the incredible festivals happen on the East Coast, and we are excited to finally have one here

[@MelissaPizaro]

Great to catch up with you both again. I cannot 'spiders' either Aaron. I ran away from a Huntsman once (google it if you don't have them there, they are harmless but freaking large) and in my excitement I jumped an obstacle (toddler walker in the yard) and crashed into the clothesline forehead first. I needed 12 stitches but would run away again today I'm sure. Love the quilt with embroidery applique. I 'had to have it' and got myself an embroidery machine a couple months back and having a blast with it. Keep being social, hoping to see more of you now you have settled in to the new place

[@FiberHustle]

If I could have burned the place to the ground to eliminate one spider, I would have Melissa. 😂 I'm so sorry about the stitches. But, you did what needed to be done. Congrats on the embroidery machine. You will have a lot of fun with that.

[@marshmallowopossum2803]

Ok, I'm gonna have to plan on coming up and visit my Daddy, convienently around the time of the fiber festival. 😂 BTW, my brother had a cat with diabetes, she got to where she just jumped up on the counter and waited for her insulin. She knew it helped. Hope everything goes well with your kitty!!

[@FiberHustle]

Everyone needs a Daddy visit and a fiber festival on the same trip, right? Say hello to us if you go.

[@guineverecassidy4855]

Congratulations on the new house!! That is so awesome. I loving the new album cover yarn color ways. Might there be a Queen color way in the future? Chip your Plus quilt is to dye for gorgeous! Enjoy settling in to the new digs!

[@FiberHustle]

I love listening to Queen, so I'll have to look at album cover choices-so many good songs.

[@samanthacross3523]

Congratulations on your move guys. Lovely to see you again. I have fostered cats that needed injections and they don’t mind ( no explosion either 😂) x

[@FiberHustle]

Thank you for sharing with us. If the pills don't work, then it is on to shots, which he may handle pretty well. We hope your kitties live beautiful lives. (Without ever have explosions 💥 ) 😂

[@amyeichenseer7692]

Yes! The Journey yarn…… swoon! And the roller skating reference is dead on. It was the ultimate goal to have a partner for the “couple skate” to Open Arms. Or crying in the corner because you didn’t have anyone😂

[@FiberHustle]

It sounds just like a 7th-grade dance, Amy. 🤣 we all had dates at times and then no dates. Middle school was so awkward.

[@knitknotandweave8177]

Welcome back!!! Wish I could make it to Flock, but it's a bit far for me right now :)

[@FiberHustle]

Make it a 2025 plan. I know how far it is.

[@KlingonPrincess]

I was just thinking last night that it felt like forever! Great to see you two! 🌻🍄

[@FiberHustle]

Well, at least you were thinking of us. We hope you got some crafting done.

[@SuziQZ]

Congrats on the move guys! My husband had that kidney stone problem. The dr told him his excessive drinking of iced tea could have caused it and that he should drink clear liquids, like Gin😂

[@FiberHustle]

Well, then, vodka it is. 😄 yes, some teas are a no-no, but they are so good. I hope he is doing better these days.

[@VisitWithNanaAndPapa]

Such a lovely visit.

[@opheliabells]

I think that you started going into the Reading Rainbow chorus, congratulations on the new place, love the background. thanks for the laughs already, 7 minutes in.

[@FiberHustle]

We hope we brought a few more laughs. It may have been the reading rainbow 🌈 🤣

[@opheliabells]

@@FiberHustle plenty more, i'm finishing up today. Hope all goes well with your kitty. Loved the lava lamps, especially the Kafta? not familiar with fabric but the most trippy looking one and your yarn is spot on as usual... also your shawl is beautiful I was looking at Wisdom of Trees to make as a gift for someone but did go for another called Celtic Myths.

[@valoriec]

My elderly kitty has had the "beatus" for a year now. He really doesn't mind the shots at all. The syringe and needle are tiny, and he's totally good with them. I was more traumatized at having to give shots than he was about getting them. Lots of love and petting, and he puts up with them better than I could have imagined. I could never get a pill in him for sure. Pilling a cat? No thanks. :) I hope Seamus feels better soon.

[@FiberHustle]

Thank you for letting us know your kitty is doing good. It gives us hope. We give him his heart pill once a day, and he is used to it. But… at times, he hides it in his mouth and spits it out just like a child when we turn our backs. A little stinker. 🤣

[@recycleonwednesdays]

I love the PNW. Rainy season is the best.

[@FiberHustle]

I miss the rain at times when we have too many lovely days -A

[@cristinadaviesmaclennan4011]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@FiberHustle]

🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@nathalie9726]

hello there..on Amazon i bought three heres ago some washable diapers whit velcro ,very easy to wash ans install

[@FiberHustle]

Thank you for the tip. We will definitely look into that

[@constancegarcia8053]

Aaron, Look at you slimming down. You look great. Congratulations on the new house. 🏠

[@FiberHustle]

I'm trying. Baby steps. Or is it baby fat? 😁 -A

[@dianenygren9701]

I was all set to come and visit for flock and then.....you had to bring up the spider thing. Hmmmmm

[@FiberHustle]

We promise not to bring any spiders with us to Flock. 🤣😂 We will only bring great baskets and fantastic yarn.

[@MissSholia]

I'm so sorry your cat is having this problem! Unfortunately, I don't have any advice for the side effect and I really hope you find something that works but I wanna try to make you feel better about the possibility of the injection if it has to come to that. Maybe you've done that with another pet in the past, I dunno, but here I go anyway. I have a old cat with CKD and I've started giving her subcutaneous fluids 2 months ago. I was very nervous when I started. It was chaotic and I stabbed myself with the needle at least 3 times during the first days (a needle in a finger really hurts LOL). After trying different methods and routines, I finally found what worked best for us and now, most of the times, it's easy. I wish you the best of luck with your cat and I hope you'll tell us how it goes!

[@FiberHustle]

Thank you so much for sharing your journey. I bet a needle in the finger is just as great as getting stung by a bee. Not fun. Our little kitty is doing well with the pill, but we are still closely monitoring it.

[@dawnekennedy8310]

Congrats on the move! I’m sorry to hear about your “adventure” Aaron. I went through that last year, it was not fun. HOWEVER I had my phone w/ me and I bought a bunch of yarn when I was coming out of anesthesia. 😐I didn’t realize/remember until I started getting a bunch of shipping notifications. Oops. 😂

[@FiberHustle]

That is a riot, Dawne. I bet it was like receiving an advent calendar. Each day a yarn arrives is a surprise. 🤣 I hope you are doing much better now.

[@dawnekennedy8310]

@@FiberHustle I was pleasantly surprised by my choices lol ….and I am much better, thank you! 😄

[@Creative_Yarnoholic]

What a way to wake up from a procedure, thinking you’re in a movie sitting with a movie star! Did you ask the nurse if she knits like Julia Roberts?

[@FiberHustle]

I don't think Chip asked. I was still out of it, so I don't remember it. But now I want to see her. 🤣 -A.

[@LindaNixon-ws4ge]

Use a sharpie and color that blue spot

[@FiberHustle]

Very good idea, Linda. Sharpies can cover up a lot of mistakes.

[@peggyhuntley2368]

I want to go soooo bad, I'm in Spokane want to meet you all and Kevin and Ray . Just can't find hotel in my price range, I'll keep looking... any suggestions

[@FiberHustle]

I know, the prices are silly in Seattle. If you don't mind driving a bit, you can try Bellevue, Renton, and Issaquah, which is the east side but safe. You would have to cross one of the bridges to get there, and one bridge has a toll, but it could be an option.

[@Sepulchre_Gate]

oh dear . Kids , the audio is NOT fabulous . but i still love you both .

[@FiberHustle]

We will chalk it up to a new place with different technical difficulties. Thanks for hanging in there with us. We will get it figured out.

[@naughtyknittingsacks3279]

Welcome back. I’ve missed y’all Buttercups!

[@FiberHustle]

We hope you are well, buttercup. 🧈 🥤 Those are the emojis for Butter Cup. 😂
