Grocery Girls-Episode 4...Our first KAL

[@annettetoomey5766]

I'm watching your podcasts from the beginning! So much fun!!! Thank you Jodi and Tracie!!!

[@karenbiron5531]

OMG! I love you guys. I live alone here in Germany (my partner is back home in Montana with his Mom) and I have your podcasts running (OCD me had to start with #1) while I crochet. It is like having friends over to play with yarn!! AND.....Jodie crochets AND there is a cute puppers! I am self teaching myself crochet via You Tube...oy but what fun and relaxing!! Cannot wait to watch them all! Better than binge watching Friends!! :-)

[@francecouture9836]

Also self-taught myself to crochet with KZbin. Also, definitely better than a Friends marathon!

[@AnEnchantedLife]

I already have so many WIPs, but you ladies have got me itching to go through my stash, find my special yarn I bought for myself and cast on another pair of socks! I must resist! Can't....resist...much longer...

[@pinayknitter]

Your exchange re mrsbrownbags makes me tear up, seriously. Sisterly love. Love the bags so much, too.

[@whatjessdavis]

I love those colors for the KAL. SOOOOOOO pretty!!!!! Nice traci!!!!!

[@rebekahdroege2520]

I'm late to the knitting podcast world but you ladies are amazing and Tracie your cowl turned out fabulous!!

[@RitaPsych1]

Oh my, Tracie’s cowl is awesome and Jodi’s crocheted blanket wrap is so fun! I love knitting but trying to crochet lately and it’s a challenge. I want a Mrs. Brown’s bag! As soon as the Etsy Shop re-opens, I plan to order one. You two are such cute sisters. 👭

[@annbassett8283]

Love the fabric for your new bags. Clever idea to create your own fabric. I have carried the mini snips in my carry-on bag flying domestically in the U.S. with no problems.

[@thomiashuhn3640]

I never thought I would say thank god for covid but here I am! Ive been knitting for years but very new to knitting podcasts and thanks to covid I finally found you ladies years later! I"m from Calgary and have really LOVED finding your podcasts! I love that you are so close to me and you have really helped me find more local yarn dyers!!! Thank you so much! I hope to maybe meet you both one day!

[@TheFostersRV]

I just found your videos the other day--I have only watched through Episode 4 but I love them! You are both such a pleasure to listen to and I am enjoying every minute.

[@niknakaroni]

Oh my goodness the coitus loving deer knitting. I laughed out loud. I actually think I am going to knit that hat for my roommate. I love the cowl! It's beautiful!

[@KarenMoore-wo7yj]

It is a fun program and I am doing a marathon to catch up! I will be doing the First KAL, but more than a year belated!

[@dorothy9276]

Just found you two last week and I have some major podcast bingeing to do to catch up. Loving it! Your sheer joy of knitting is contagious!

[@corlissseabron9522]

Hi! I just found your podcast this week. I enjoy all the great info, project sharing, beautiful yarns and sister sharing. Great style ladies!

[@karenkijinski6271]

I so agree with Tracie on having a friend knit the other sock. You would knit one sock while your friend knits the other one. That would be so much fun and then you would knit their sock. Love it, good idea. I was thinking it before you said it.

[@ritzy59]

Oh--I love your knit topped bags!!!!! Wonderful idea and wonder work!

[@myfairytreasures]

Can I tell you how sad I am that I'm coming to the end of watching all of your Pod cast. I have serial watched them and enjoyed every minute. I have laughed, been inspired, knitting educated, corrupted in buying way to much already hehehhe. Oh yeah ordered some blank skeins to dye. Thank you so much I'm having a blast.

[@Winkey-crafts]

Girls, you are so nice to watch! Love it! U inspire me, my ravelry wanne have, is growing fast :)

[@cloudnumba9]

You are the first KZbin binging I've ever done!

[@darciastammers602]

Ooooooooo love the blanket!

[@mrsjudys]

You two are amazing! Loved chatting with you......yes, I actually answered you and chatted along!

[@joanpartin9798]

Wow..so many great tips.Thank you . And love the new bags, hope I can get 1 or 2 .

[@Yarn_Lab]

Another great episode ladies! Great that you finally made it in to Stash Tracie (if I could live in a yarn shop, I might just choose Stash) and that skein of Sweet Georgia you bought, I had one in my hands today... but went with something else... almost tho (so beautiful). Left you ladies a msg on the thread for this episode in the Ravelry group. Happy knitting!

[@puffyjo]

im binge watching ladies . love your knitty bags Jodi they are beautiful.

[@DixieGirl9876]

Love the tips. One for you guys, badge I.D. holders to clip inside your project bags to hold your snips/scissors handy.

[@jaimemarshall418]

Thank you for making my day! You guys are hilarious! I love Andi too and those bags are beautiful.

[@_La_Knight]

Can't wait to see the finished shawl. I want to make one with those colors.

[@carolyn_r]

I LOVE those three colors Traci!!!

[@KMCina]

Another great podcast! You two are amazing! Makes me wish I lived in Canada!! Marked my calendar to hopefully pounce on one of Jodi's new bags tomorrow! LOVE the knitted cotton fabric! Gonna go the KAL and get myself signed up...my first one! Fan from Forest Grove, Oregon, USA! :)

[@michellegross3737]

You two are wonderful! I happened upon this podcast so I will now watch your previous shows. I too bought the mini needles many years ago & cannot knit with them so I'm with you both on that one. I now use that mini as a cable needle.

[@heidiwiedemann]

yarn barf lol ... bane of my existence!! :)

[@kjrussell8831]

The bag that Tracie showed in Sock Tawk is not showing on Esty. I wish it was, since Turquoise/Aqua are my favorite colors and I love cable knitting.

[@LizFarleyMetzger_Tempe]

Knitting/Menopaus - OMG DYING. Perfect niche market. The struggle has never been more real :DDDDD

[@debnew6195]

Fantastic podcast, you ladies are just the best. Love from Australia!

[@stacya3751]

Lol....keep em coming! Sometimes I feel like joining in the chat with you two then realized that you can't hear or see me. Love love love!

[@francecouture9836]

I have a couple other podcasts that give me that feeling as well but in French. The @procrastknitteuses and @clotricot have a similar energy and freedom in their podcasts. I think all 3 of the ladies also watch and enjoy Tracie and Jodi (sorry about the spelling!)

[@maximumyarnage]

Absolutely love knitting in public. Don't care who's watching. Don't care if you think it's for old people. Love love love it.

[@nathaliepenar7908]

Hilarious... loved Jodi's 5 finger discount of the snips lmao.

[@lindatornowski2421]

I was right there when your shop opened and it sold out! I'm happy for you but sad I missed getting a bag. 👍😀

[@linehvidnielsen3495]

I always get in such a good mood when I sit and knit, and watch your podcart ❤️😀

[@shymoment]

You two are so great. I love how you play off of each other. Your sock tawk is so great. I love to make socks. I use dpn's and do two at a time.

[@captainofthesheep9005]

I am so late to Grocery Girls, but I am so happy I found you ladies. I am watching from the beginning now! I'm so sad that sweet Georgia glitter birch yarn isn't sold anymore lol I think you are both so sweet and funny and I'm grateful I have so many old episodes to watch while I wait for the next podcast!

[@kelty4045]

Such a great podcast. Thank you for the awesome tips. You are very fun to watch, your passion and enthusiasm shines bright for your knitting.

[@CaravelKiwi]

LOVE the Malabrigo swatch fabric bags!

[@gavinl6774]

I love how caring you are to each other Tracie and Jodie!

[@lindatornowski2421]

Love love love your podcast!!!! In doing some socks right now as a gift for my sis in law and just purchased the FLK heel pattern. The virtual knitting community are the only knitters I know but will find a few to gift the pattern to. I love the bags Jodi and would also love to have one of each 😀

[@netty062]

I'm slowly working up the courage to start up my first socks!! Your podcasts are so motivational....Thanks Gals!!

[@rotherfamily]

LOVING YOU TWO! THANKS.

[@karenz7059]

I just started knitting again and found you ladies....such a joy to watch and I have started from the beginning....Jodi..did you return those snips that I saw you put into your notions tin??? :)

[@lesatressler8450]

I am hooked because of you ladies. I just bought my first program on how to start knitting. I think it's by Susan B. Anderson. I want to know everthing now. Love your podcast.

[@lizburke2516]

great energy you both have and talent..keep up the good work.

[@annieboulton5759]

Oooohhh I love that brickless pattern. Thanks for sharing girls, I recently found your channel and have started watching your blogs from day one You're great x

[@fralou1]

I love my minis. But I have small hands. Maybe? I bought 2 of the minis in the same size. Then I put a marker A and B and knit both socks at he same time.

[@Jennofantastic]

Love watching you guys! Love Vivid too!!!

[@hydronicrocker]

omg, so im up to the heel on my first ever sock and its looser than it should be according to your sawk tawk and i was actually contemplating ripping it out because i felt it just wasnt right, as in it looked much larger than it should. However I'm using 2.75 not 2.25 or 2.5 needles and the pattern im using actually calls for 2.75 and according to the pattern i should be casting on 64 stitches but i ended up decreasing 4 on each side to get it down to 56 which seems like a much better fit. The annoying thing I find about ripping it out, is not so much losing the progress, but how frustrating the yarn is to work with afterwards, with it not being as smooth as it was when I first began :/ but also because I thought I was finally getting somewhere with the sock only to find I have to start again, yet again.. sigh... I had tried sock knitting a while back and made it way too big as I was just guessing and had no idea. Will i EVER complete a goddamn sock people!?!?

[@Rowdysrun]

Love the Sock Tawk thread idea!!! Do you know I have to keep pen and paper beside me at all times while I watch because there are soooooo many great ideas, tips ,yarns, patterns, EVERYTHING !!!!!

[@scrapfaire]

Oh gosh, I tried those 9 inch circs and find that after I do it for a while it gets comfy... but it takes a bit.

[@shirindam]

I'm late to the game with your channel but i wanted to respond to the knitting in public.i knit at the stop light its red. if i am sitting and don't have to used my hands im knitting. i always have a project to work on. just getting into socks but i love doing them. thank you all for your channel. i have a lot to catch up on but it gives me something to watch while i knit.

[@TheSammich4]

Staci perry from verypinkknits (on KZbin) just made a video reviewing the tiny circular sock needles and has tips on how to use them! Maybe that will help 😊. I am a magic looper and would like to try the tiny circs, but I really like doing mine two at a time!

[@charissaiknitmum6473]

Love your videos ladies! I'm from BC and love Alberta. Lots of family there as my father was born in Hannah. Just want to quickly say that I absolutely love Vivid yarns too. Also Ali of Kaleidoscope Dyeworks is from Sherwood Park and she is my favourite Canadian dyer. If you haven't checked out her shop on Etsy yet you're missing out. Can't wait for the next episode ladies! 👍🏻🤗

[@maryannraley]

I'm a little late to the party and you may have already gotten this suggestion, but if you use the plexiglass stand for your pattern, you can slip the pattern inside the stand and use a washable marker to mark off rows.

[@jamiehatherley8214]

The boy just bought me petal for our anniversary :) I fell in love in the store!! :) also got me storm chaser.

[@fralou1]

Will you be making more bags with the knit fabric? I need a sweater size bag please.

[@shannenmetcalf5113]

I don't like the 9" needles either. At one time I did find them helpful for color work socks but they hurt my hands.

[@darkcoffeeclouds]

omgosh I would be the middle sister with you guys. I'm 45 young but totally relate with the steaminess. We are too hot for our clothes lol Steamy goodness! I love seeing all the fun things you make and the yarn you buy. It always makes me think of scoops of ice cream!

[@lashawnabbott9947]

DJC_Stitches

[@ashleighrichman9035]

I'm sitting here knitting a sock on a 9" circ... and of course you pull one out. Too funny! (Though I HATE the addi sock circs... they're an inch shorter than the ciaogoo red lines I use any that inch makes all the difference!)

[@karentruscelli5708]

Hey Girls, I purchased HiyaHiya's 12 in. 2.75 circulars and knit a pair of socks and I am in love...Tried the 9 in. and did not like them at all. The tips of the HiyaHiya 12 in. are twice as long as the 9 in, and they are curved. Other companies make a 12 in. but the tips are not curved which make it impossible to get 60 stitches around...MUST try HiyaHiya 12 in.

[@jesso1954]

for toe-up socks I absolutely love sockmaticians toe-ups. it is a pattern and a formula for the perfect fitting socks. it is my go to toe-up pattern

[@joaniep675]

Omg you guys talk like me and how I think and it cracks me up!

[@kathygoodman6159]

Tracie, congratulations on 25! I know that this is really late, but still ... My hubby and I just celebrated 38 years. I still can't believe it! Where did all of those years go????

[@jonjamesminer]

Omg! Love Jodi's notion tin. I use an Altoids tin myself. #greatminds

[@marthamurrell9113]

How about Chaiogoo needles. ?

[@elainepieters5903]

You girls are awesome

[@PopleBackyardFarm]

The shawl is lovely

[@moniquelomax6721]

😊you two are so funny and I love your pod cast

[@marissashindell999]

The Chiagoo 9 inch circular needles are easier than the 8 inch circulars.

[@ashleyrb1999]

Instead if clipping your pattern to the outside of the clear display, you could put the pattern inside then use a dry erase marker to make notes without destroying the pattern.

[@clbedwell]

I love the 3 Color Cashmere Cowl. The colors are great! That blanket would make a great stash buster project. Love the different stitches in the Brickless shawl. I knit in public. At church. I did during class at school. I used to during break at work. At the library. Everywhere! A suggestion for your notes at the bottom of the screen: Contrasting color for the background. After the sweater was taken off, the white letters got a bit lost over the white in the shirt.

[@karenbrown5065]

+Claudia Bedwell i knit in public too, but would never knit in church....it might not be distracting to me but the people around me would totally watch...i am like one of 3 people who knit in my whole town....they would just think it was blasphemy....we are a southern baptist.... more conservative than most.....but i think its totally cool if you can

[@linahsdesignRita]

Hihih love it,knittting and menopaus... Happy to live in the cold sweden :)

[@ritzy59]

Well--it is March 9th and I am just now watching your podcast. I just bought the yarn today and if I can get my computer to cooperate--I will soon have the pattern. Will I get it done in time--not a chance--but I can pretend that I am doing my first KAL.

[@capipuszcz]

Love your podcast!

[@craftyjoy9]

Hi ladies! I get a high going to craft stores! 💗🙋🏼😜💖

[@pepperann2589]

Personally, I love the idea of sharing the sock knitting love :) keeps us from the second sock syndrome and color boredom :)

[@astagurunjohannsdottir1925]

Hi girls - first time viewer :D I was wandering, you use the metric system when you talk about needle size but then use inches when talking about sock size.....do you mix the two in Canada? Best regards, the fan of metric :D

[@Curlpro]

I cant believe your'e all sold out! Good for you. I'll get one someday Im sure.

[@wendyhollow1458]

Just bought my pattern to pay forward. Hugs WAH

[@heatherstewart7131]

I agree I hate the small needle, I think my fingers are to big.

[@kjrussell2451]

Are you using white vinegar?

[@whatjessdavis]

Did your jog block out on your cowl? I'm getting ready to start my joji and was just curious.

[@mrsjudys]

I'm watching the cute dog on the right side of the screen......looking out the window?

[@karenz7059]

Me too

[@Peacock3717]

Very Pink has a fabulous pattern and tutorial at verypink.com that is two at a time socks on one circular. It totally changed the game for me

[@adrianamcdonald9395]

OMG!!!!! Can I just say that I love those bags and hope I remember to order on Friday!!!! Also, you two are just a riot and I look forward to watching you both and sure wish I was your sister😉. I don't have any sisters but wish I did now.

[@Knittingilove]

I just gifted 2 people with Fish Lips Kiss Heel Pattern :) Marsha mentioned you mentioned I just had to do it - I hope whatever is happing we can help out :)

[@tinakercher8768]

My dog ate my progressive lenses.

[@debbiemraz2650]

Wonderful idea, but what about tension! Do you both have different tension

[@alysonkrohn1357]

Coming in WAY LATE on this podcast but just wear mismatched socks! My daughter hasnt worn matching socks in YEARS!

[@CapitalChromaA3004]

Am hot flushing (don't mention that word!) right with your girls!!! LOVE your podcast .... always makes me smile. Thank you so so much!!! xxx ps personally I think all teeny tiny circulars should be put in a huge pile and burnt ... just sayin' xxxxxxx

[@InASeaOfShells]

BRB Looking up deer sock pattern (no judgement please)! :D

[@lindac6922]

I don't like those little circulars either.

[@karenbrown5065]

i so agree with you on the 9in circs or 8in even worse....maybe i just dont know how to hold them correctly but....i felt totally clumsy, slow, etc... 2 thumbs down
