Fleece & Harmony Knitting Podcast - Ep. 7 Spring Knitting Projects and Yarn Colours!

[@msfreshfood1111]

I have been marathoning your episodes in order and knitting as I watch. I love your podcast so much and not only because you’re both so much fun but because you knit such beautiful things, yet make the same mistakes I do. The row of garter stitches in the middle of your sock is a case in point. How many times have I made a mistake like that and not caught it until rows and rows and rows later. Too many times to admit to it. So glad I found your videos. You’re building my confidence.

[@FleeceHarmonyPodcast]

That’s awesome to hear! Keep making those mistakes!!!

When my daughter was wee, she called one leg of pantyhose a pantyho as well - she turned 50 in October and we STILL call it that. (I just recently discovered your podcast, so I am watching in order). Love your whole “ thing.” Greetings from Pennsylvania.

[@FleeceHarmonyPodcast]

Ha ha! I forgot that we talked about the pantyho!

[@andreasissons7766]

The ferris wheel yarn is so pretty.

[@FleeceHarmonyPodcast]

Thank you!!!

[@andreasissons7766]

I visited MacAusland's two years ago and picked up a beautiful lap blanket. So cozy in the winter.

[@FleeceHarmonyPodcast]

Love the blankets!!!

[@michellem3899]

Golf and yarn! Guess I need to PEI to my travel wish list.

[@FleeceHarmonyPodcast]

Right!!!!

[@BlossomBlendFibres]

My husband and I stopped in PEI on our cruise last September and we plan on visiting again next year. Love the island!

[@FleeceHarmonyPodcast]

On a Quest For Fibre great come see us!

[@fernie5128]

you two are a hoot! I Love your "Out damn spot!" creativity! Your weather report makes this Minnesota resident feel sorry for you! We get it! Take care, be warm, keep knitting, and hug sheep for me.

[@FleeceHarmonyPodcast]

I'm sure you do get it! It's starting to warm up a little here finally and the sun HAS been shining, which certainly helps!

[@karijames381]

new bucket list item, PEI and fiber trail! love how you hid the spot.

[@FleeceHarmonyPodcast]

Kari James definitely!!!! Lol!! The SPOT!!! 😡

[@TrickyNight24]

For sure the fiber trail n food flavours would be a nice combo. Maybe next year things will be not shut down!

[@FleeceHarmonyPodcast]

Hopefully not! Lord help us!

[@lisaj5834]

Hello Ladies, I'm thoroughly enjoying your podcast which I found by watching My Wool Mitten podcast by Carrie who fondly mentioned you in her last episode.. Someday I hope to visit your store and farm. A silly side note, I work in Belfast, Maine so hearing you speak of Belfast PEI makes me smile.

[@FleeceHarmonyPodcast]

Lisa J thank you for watching! We will check out My Wool Mitten. Love Maine!!!

[@eileencashin7585]

You certainly are wonderful spokespeople for your island tourism......have wanted to visit your island for quite awhile now and if I continue watching your podcasts I will hurry and get my passport and plan a Fall vacation..... thank you again for sharing yourselves with all of us that live vicariously through you. Looking forward to your next visit. Eileen

[@FleeceHarmonyPodcast]

Eileen thank you!!! We do love where we live even though the winter weather can be challenging, and you certainly can’t beat it in the summer and the fall!

[@GreenGableAlpacas-PEI]

Rip and wip.... You had me at rip! You two are naturals at this.... what a great way to connect. See you soon!

[@FleeceHarmonyPodcast]

Green Gable Alpacas you had me at rip!!!! HA HA HA knitting kindred spirits! 💚

[@emmabutcher]

Thanks for another fun podcast Kim and Jen. I love those new colours Jen and your shawl is so beautiful Kim. You had me in stitches when you were talking about "WIP and RIP". We can all identify with that. Always excited when you post a new episode. Cheers Emma💙

[@FleeceHarmonyPodcast]

Emma thank you for watching and hanging out! We needed some laughs after the multiple recording and camera issues, and we’re so glad you had a laugh too!!

[@barbarareeves9669]

Hi ladies !!! You certainly are entertaining 😂😂. Love the new colours you have created Jennifer....

[@FleeceHarmonyPodcast]

barbara thank you!!! I’m spending a lot of time thinking about that Sea Glass!!! 💙💚💛

[@patsycoats4061]

I really enjoy the segments about the spinning process. Thanks for showing it. Weather report from North Alabama: rain, rain rain, and maybe freezing rain on Sunday.

[@FleeceHarmonyPodcast]

patsy coats freezing rain in Alabama! That’s a rip off!!! We are getting freezing rain here in the next couple days as well. Up and down, up and down! What next?!? Thank you for watching!!!

[@kathykeller3430]

PEI is definitely on my bucket list too. Rip and Wip, that saying deserves a plaque of its own! Always love listening to your podcasts.

[@FleeceHarmonyPodcast]

Kathy thank you so much! I’m pretty sure we’ll be using the term Rip and Wip regularly!

[@mmaas4879]

Lovely podcast....enjoy all the beautiful “makings”, weather reports, caring of the sheep ( and their antics) 😊 Thank you for sharing the process of the creation of your yarns in the spinning mill. I’m binge watching, oddly recent-older, but loving every moment! I’m originally from Minnesota, and now live in North Carolina. Arm chair traveling to the BEAUTIFUL North country. ❤️

[@FleeceHarmonyPodcast]

❤️

[@Barbbfly]

God ble you and the creatures from mid Canda Winterpeg

[@stephanieottersbach1864]

Trank you so much for another great episode!!! You make me really warnt to Travel to PEI someday! Maybe in a few years with my yarny sister ☺️ I guess i have to take a Look at your Shop now, since i heard that you ship to Europe. Thank you also that you show us all the parts of your work. Greetings from Cologne, Germany ! Stephanie

[@FleeceHarmonyPodcast]

Hi Stephanie! Yes, we ship all over the World. We hope you find something you love!

[@kwayne7339]

Really enjoying the podcasts. So fun to knit along while trying not to laugh so much that stitches drop. I was also impressed with how far the sock yarn goes. I have just finished knitting up two pair with color patterns and have left overs that will be used for more projects. Hope to get out to your Monday evening knit nite.

[@FleeceHarmonyPodcast]

K Wayne gah don’t drop stitches!!!! Lol. ❤️❤️❤️. We’d love to see you on Mondays!

[@brendasolanki8424]

Hi Ladies. You certainly had me laughing out loud with this one. Camera...good positioning. Stitch marker management...great idea to relieve counting stress. You should definitely rename your segment WIPs and RIPS. I nearly fell off my chair with that one. It's also a good thing to share; ripping out is not a bad thing although those of us with perfectionist tendencies might over due it. I love Jennifer Beale's newest pattern and am so tempted to make it but I'm not really sure it would be a flattering style on me. Your comments about the clarity of her instructions was encouraging. Take 3 gets 5 *s! PEI in the summer... ooh that sounds so lovely. HUgs

[@FleeceHarmonyPodcast]

Brenda Thank you so much!!!! We felt bad for not keeping up our knitting end of the bargain so we are so relieved you still enjoyed the episode!

[@brendasolanki8424]

@@FleeceHarmonyPodcast Nothing to feel bad about. I'm surprised you get any knitting done with all the critters you need to lovingly tend and the yarn you're so busy making for us in constant new dye lots .

[@roxannewaddell3830]

Would love to see everything on PEI someday, you have certainly made me think about a trip there, thanks

[@FleeceHarmonyPodcast]

That's great! It's a beautiful spot, in the summer! And Fall, Fall might actually be the nicest provided you don't want to go swimming! Thank you for watching!

[@bonniedyer8875]

Love knitting with the Iona Bunny yarn. I'm making a beautiful shawl♥️♥️

[@FleeceHarmonyPodcast]

Bonnie Yay! We would LOVE to see it when it’s done!

[@ellenhealey5147]

Love your podcasts. Can’t do PEI this summer but definitely on my bucket list

[@FleeceHarmonyPodcast]

Ellen awesome! Whenever you’re ready, we’ll be here! 🙂

[@katdef100]

Once again--thank you for another very enjoyable episode. My friends and I are currently looking for a cottage in PEI in the month of August but it's a hot market and many are already rented. We shall persevere! I will definitely download the Fibre Tour PDF and am dreaming of warm balmy days on a PEI beach:-)

[@FleeceHarmonyPodcast]

katdef100 oh yes! Persevere! Seems we are looking at a busy tourist season then! 😉

[@esthervangorder3983]

What is that yummy looking yarn just over your left shoulder, Jennifer? I want to reach through my computer screen and squish it. My husband is very patient when I proceed to squish every ball/skein/hank of yarn in the shop. No paintball for him, though. He just knows he's likely to get another new sweater out of it. :-)

[@FleeceHarmonyPodcast]

Esther That is our FLOCK Fingering in Dawning! A sweater for a browse seems like a very fair deal!! (For your husband 😉)

[@adalai7649]

Love your weather reports! I'm also in Wisconsin, so appreciated the shout out to the state! Also loved what you did with the spot! Great episode! Jen...i just ripped out a shawl that I didn't look at carefully. I was almost done with it. 😭

[@FleeceHarmonyPodcast]

Ada Lai go Wisconsin! Must be full of knitters!!! ❤️❤️

[@lucindajeffrey9047]

Hello to you Both, I really been interested in knitting me a Sweater. But I am a Beginner on this. Is there any great ideas u can pass my way? I learned how to knit socks 2 at a time, just don't know how to do the Kitchener Sts. I been enjoying ur Podcast. Thank you.

[@FleeceHarmonyPodcast]

Lucinda Hello! Our best and favourite tip for new sweater knitters is the Tin Can Knits Flax pattern. It is cute, very easy to follow and has a complete set of video tutorials, AND it’s free and comes in 15 sizes or something, so you could even start with a child size as a gift or something!

[@sunrhyze]

"If you're examining my knitting that closely then we can't be friends." 😎

[@FleeceHarmonyPodcast]

🤣😬🤣

[@mjm3852]

I wonder if the businesses on the "Fiber Trail" have ever considered becoming part of the Harvest Hosts program? Harvest Hosts is an RV organization; good way to draw in some business.

[@FleeceHarmonyPodcast]

MJ M I don’t think so! We can look into it! 💜

[@fernie5128]

Here's a question for perhaps a future podcast: How did you all decide what your specific rolls would be? Inquiring minds want to know, but I will understand if you are not able to reply at this time..

[@FleeceHarmonyPodcast]

Hi Fern, we''ll cover that next time! It's evolved a bit over time!
