Grocery Girls Knit Episode 53

Tracie & Jodi are two Canadian sisters who love to talk about all things yarn & knitting (and who knows what else!)

[@freckledcrafts]

My husband walked in saw I was watching you two and yelled 'Georgia!' 😂

[@annathy9857]

FreckledCrafts hahahahah!

[@mindykoentopp2398]

I want a Tshirt made that says "Georgia! We're podcasting!"

[@mosesgunner2358]

i guess it's kind of randomly asking but do anybody know of a good website to watch newly released series online?

[@traviszahir2699]

@Moses Gunner i watch on FlixZone. You can find it by googling =)

[@olivernikolai3045]

@Travis Zahir definitely, been using FlixZone for months myself :)

[@KimClinger]

Your episodes are timeless. I've been watching a lot of the old ones. And enjoying every minute. :-)

[@lyndaholloway2828]

You two are such a breath of fresh air. Thank you, that you.

[@gillianlitchfield9632]

You guys are always worth it! Love your podcast. Do whatever is easiest for you.

[@kurisuronan6016]

So happy to watch another episode of u guys! It doesn't matter if it's live or pre recorded, I always enjoy them no matter what!💖💖

[@judimuscroft5018]

Loved this! Worth waiting for!

[@trishylala]

Omg do not apologize for purchases that’s probably my fav part of podcasts and yours is number 1 yarn appreciation 🖤🖤🖤

[@chantellemcleod6705]

You’ve totally enabled me. I’m doing the Easyone bulky. In quarry slate :) Thank you ladies all the way from Western Australia!

[@littlebigknits]

Thank you for keeping me company while I pulled pork!! and then when that was done, I enjoyed the rest with my knitting and a good cup of tea. It was so nice to have some fun energy on this Sunday evening! hugs from Ottawa!

[@lacyoflittlerobincottage1403]

KAL's ~ Colorwork items KAL, Boxy exclusive KAL, Christmas Gift Knitting KAL ~ So happy you two finially worked out the tech-bugs. Loved the show! Kirbywirby is the way to go - NO HOLES!!! Love it! Thank you both for helping to keep the knitting community alive & thriving!!!!!! (insert big heart here).

[@debbieraby]

You two make my day! I laugh and I learn. Thanks always. 💜

[@marciam3094]

Yay! Thanks for trying so hard to get this up and running. It was so worth it! I swear I watched this four times, there was so much great info in this episode! Thank you both for your wonderful podcast and for your persistence! We appreciate it!💕

[@rachaelwarrington25]

Thank you for your show!!! I love hearing about new yarns and really love hearing about the designers out there. I feel like I have just taken a peek at the top of the iceberg. I am new to upscale knitting but want to learn more. I went and checked out several that you mentioned, oh and Tracie thanks for the idea of taking pictures of what I want to knit, I fell in love with Humulus and will be making it for my daughter for Christmas. Keep knitting...

[@pattymiller6696]

Love your podcasts! So much great information!

[@girlandhergames9091]

What about a monthly holiday knit along for 2018. Knit one Christmas present a month. A lot of us feel so overwhelmed waiting until last minute so I understand the stress of it and the “oh squirrel.”

[@soulstitcher5846]

yay..you're back...and with a regular podcast! sorry to hear of your troubles. and just my 2 cents, i know it's easier to do live for you, BUT regular pod's colours are way better and there's "volume"!! maybe just podcast and don't edit is the solution - more fun for us i'm sure =) thanks for giving us a questimate date for pins - i check almost daily to see if you're restocked. have fun in Denver

[@Susie98052]

I've just cast on toe up, 2 at a time socks for magic loop on some needles that I detest. I just put a pair of chioagoo red lace needles in my amazon cart this past week because I fell in love with the one I bought for my scania shawl. Hearing Tracie talk about them has convinced me to hit the checkout button!

[@teresalevitt4180]

Hello and thank you Girl's! I do the happy dance every time I get to watch you Two! 😍

[@traciemillar]

Teresa Levitt 😀😀😀

[@magneaarnardottir]

You guys rock! My favorite podcast 🎀🤓❄️

[@reneem4155]

Vintersol is a beautiful sweater with a simple but beautiful yoke detail. I love it when you announce when you are going live so I can plan my day around it!! Bucket tote=Brillant!! Way to go Mrs. Brown!! Have a blast at Stitches! xoxo

[@janetpingrey7155]

I just want to tell you, it's all your fault. I was only looking for a tutorial on a stitch and your podcast was on the menu at the side of youtube and I thought, 'Gee, I wonder what this is.'....and you two were so funny and knowledgeable and funny (did I say that...lol) and then introduced me to other podcasters and they introduced me to other podcasters....I suppose I could have worse addictions than knitting/crocheting podcasts and knitting and crochet projects, because, yes, I had to start replicating....such a snowball effect that blossomed into some sort of yarn avalanche. I had belonged to a knitting group for the short time I lived in Virginia and having all of you guys is like being in that group again. I cast on my first pair of socks...toe up....this morning and am doing the two together on separate needles....I do not want any onesies hanging around (bet they make some interesting pairs). Thanks for setting my creativity/activity on fire again. Love you ladies to the moon and back.

[@jillm8484]

Love your hair cut and colour Jodie. Great that you got the podcast up and running. Enjoying your podcast. You guys sparkle😊 Have fun at Stitches West. I will be looking forward to seeing your podcast from there. Tracie you are an amazing knitter. Jodie, love the rose gold hat and rose gold sweater Tracie. Really lovely!

[@YvonneWilson312]

You both look fabulous as always but oh Jodi! Loving that look! #hairenvy !

[@juliefort2262]

I LOVE THE VIOLET WAFFLE HAT, I knitted a hat for my daughter's upcoming birthday (Mar 6), AND I knitted a fold up brim and gave it extra length! I want that yarn!

[@LisaWoodcomeflywithme]

Here’s to persistent ladies!!! Thanks so much for not giving up. Great to see ya both. I just really want to thank both of you...I’m making and almost done, with my very first pullover! Thanks a million!!!

[@GroceryGirlsKnit]

MAJOR HIGH FIVES TO YOU!!!! way to go!! Now its time to pick your next one :D

[@LisaWoodcomeflywithme]

Why thanks. I think I already have...making my sister a sweater but dying to get another sweater on the needles, is that crazy? LoL

[@sandranokes7443]

Those yarn mini's are OMG! I want them all and I'd put them in a Vase like flowers and never knit them!

[@paradismom7260]

First time I've seen you girls live! Love your podcasts. Knitting a Jodi shawl while I'm watching.

[@amominak2]

Colorwork! KAL! Yesss ❣️ I don't do new years resolutions but I did decide this is the year I DO knit at least a colorwork accessory but really would love to make a sweater! You girls are my inspiration! Thank you 👍🤗❤️🐑

[@snowyowlcrafts6777]

Jodi I love your hair you're so pretty! Great episode again. Thank you 💕

[@SSKYarners]

You two are great big teases!! “Look at our amazing, sparkly new pins...but you can’t buy them...and don’t message us!” 😂😂😂 Always a good laugh watching you two! Safe travels to the states & looking forward to hearing about your Stitches” trip! 🙋🏻‍♀️ from Karyn

[@LShank017]

My mom big time spoiled me for Christmas/Valentine's and got me the 4" Mac daddy, the 5" Mac daddy, AND the Minis set! I really really love them and like Tracie said, I knit every day and now I'll never need another needle (except for sock needles 😉) Thanks for a great episode!

[@Ri1921]

Love you guys! Makes me long for a knitting buddy. Thanks for all the info and tips on yarn and tools. A suggestion for a KAL a yoked sweater with a cool yoke. Know you make me smile...

[@laplibrarian6094]

I love it! Yes! I am supporting the yarn industry!

[@rosemariedierking9249]

My very first sock was an after thought heel. I used Susan B Anderson's my first toe up sock craftsy class and I loved it! It was also the first thing I ever knit! I love socks and am now attempting my first sweater!

[@deboraheagles7120]

I am so excited, early last week I received my Mrs. Brown's 3 ball bag and a sweater sized tote and there is a project in them both already!!! I need to get me one of those chart folders from Fibre Nook!!!!! Love you ladies!!!!

[@mysharyna1741]

OMG Tracie your face when Jodi said that she dries her socks...I literally heard the psycho theme in my head!!! LOL Love watching you ladies SO much.. Thanks for cheering me up!

[@mariesaunders9951]

Give me coffee as soon as I wake up! I swear it's the only thing that gets me out of bed!

[@lolafabulous7]

Thank you girls for being persistent and not giving up.... I LIVE for the moment I see the notification that there is a new GG podcast!, it was a perfect ending to my day when I got home from work tonite

[@traciemillar]

D Habron ❤️💕❤️💕❤️

[@stephanief7679]

OH. MY. GOSH! So glad it finally worked for you. And I appreciate your dedication to your knitting and fans. Hugs!!!!❤️

[@mrskrupa1]

It’s such an honor when my kids ask me to knit something for friends/teachers/etc!!!

[@carolrabich9567]

Jodi, Wrapping me up is around the corner from my house. I about fell off my chair! hahaha!

[@joannel2373]

Love the Rose Gold color way! You both look great.

[@rrene5431]

Jodi: we are all expecting the same from you "GEORGIA" is the password. Lol. Love to watch you girls!

[@nancysteiner8814]

Thank you ladies! Made my day!

[@suegairns7647]

Love magic loop, for doing two socks!!!! No more single dock syndrome!

[@LoveoftheDarkFiberArts]

I want Bobbleheads of the Grocery Girls!!

[@cindytedesco3019]

Bobble heads yea

[@alexandrinatorres3421]

Your sweater is amazing jodi, love your new pins.

[@juliannediesch203]

As always, you are worth the wait! On vacation in Phoenix with my family - on perhaps the coldest day they have had in a while (seriously?!), so I gleefully am working my Olympia Socks. Just am finishing up the gussets then on to the foot - yay! As always, you inspire me! Have fun at Stitches West (15 minutes from my current home, but my husband booked a family vacation). Some day I will get to be in your presence and will make a fool of myself fangirling. Now, to see if there are any LYS near me here...

[@pattylabadie954]

You guys are sooo funny!!!...love ya!

[@jubbins64]

I love my ChiaoGoo Interchangeables so much I bought 2 and now I also own the 4" and 5" minis. Can't wait to try knitting socks for the first time on them! I'm looking forward to your pins going on your shop!!!

[@traciemillar]

jubbins64 ❤️💕❤️👍🏼

[@sherrymaccullouch2095]

Love all your episodes ladies! Looking forward to seeing your trip to Stitches West! I checked out signature needles (ouch) and a set of Chiagoo - on my list for sure now.

[@trish2826]

Tech issues are all totally youtube not you, I've been having bizarre issues with KZbin all day! So glad you persevered!! Love the GroceryGirls!!!

[@lenorehopkins3323]

Hey, I’m starting my first colorwork and I’m doing arboreal with Gina in a autumnal color so I get colorwork without all the work. I hope it works out. We’ll see.

[@ildonoa3928]

OMG! I just bought that same Chiaogoo set! I LOVE THEM SOOO MUCH! Also, NEEDLE TWINSIES!

[@snvazquez724]

Love you ladies! I was wondering if you can post links of all these things you showed us. Thank you both so much, keep up your hard work ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@christineferoli1750]

So funny, I am knitting the birkin now! Love it!fair isle a little challenging! But so pretty!

[@snoqualmiesmom]

Love listening to your podcasts as always and looking forward to meeting you at Stitches, and yes, Signature has their own booth,

[@suzannedickinson2847]

Love the Easy One in Debbie Bliss Fine Donegal, then I’ll do the bulky in a Noro-all from my stash... I’m on a mission to use up my mountains of yarn ... for every new acquisition, I do a de-stash... I adore Joji and yous guys!!! (Live in the UP of Michigan, your podcast is the bomb!!!)🧡🧡🧡

[@scarvalho71]

I love love love your podcasts! You ladies make my day!!

[@lboyerdvm1]

wow I love your stuff! Im your biggest fan! Please keep doing these podcasts!

[@karencompton4851]

Chiagoo’s are my favorite😄 I have the small set in 5” & 4” - they make my knitting so enjoyable👍

[@laurap.7794]

So inspired to try my first sweater!! But first, to attempt my first socks with yarn I bought 10 YEARS ago to make socks 😳

[@dawnwilloughby4905]

Thank you for taking the time and dedication to post this episode. I'm sitting here knitting a sock, so it's all good.

[@divingne1]

I have that same pattern holder thingie and I love it. That was my favorite design cover too.

[@paulafralick6280]

I love the idea of a colour work knit-a-long and a hat knit along. A hat a month, like the sock bash would also be interesting.

[@paulagardner1651]

Okedokie, enablers, just also purchased the pattern for "twas the night before Christmas" socks ;) You gals are great, thanks for the fun Friday evening ;) Hope to see you at Stitches West, safe travels. xo

[@PipandPin]

While I was watching this morning Georgia (who's 4) came and snuggled up to watch with me and she wanted me to tell you that she really loves your pink sweater, Tracie. She also asked if you were at the yarn store. When I told her that was your house she didn't believe me! As for podcast format, I love them both!

[@traciemillar]

Pip & Pin Hi Georgia (& Megan 😉) Thank you so much for the compliment on my pink sweater! I absolutely love it, and wish i could wear it every day. Maybe i should knit another pink one with the yarn that you see here. It is true. This is my yarn collection..... it makes me smile every day! I hope you ladies are having a great day in Vancouver. 😃 take care! Tracie 💋

[@mrsmac5196]

Hi, just finished watching all - somehow the interrupted ones were on youtube too! Sat. AM - coffee and Grocery Girls, working on my Winter Rose sock 1...husband sitting here listening to you too...olympic hockey with the sound off on tv! He's laughing at the golf club remark - I bought 2 interchangeable sets recently. Knitters Pride royalty something...the size 4 snapped in my hand one day - shop gave me a replacement but it was the excuse I needed to buy the HiyaHiya deluxe set. Metal so they won't snap. No new golf clubs have been purchased. Jodi - if you haven't already seen this - Eli, the Skeindeer wears and discusses her Birkin sweater fit in her most recent episode (#60, the chatty one).

[@BennMolina]

Thank you for not giving up! Jodi I love that waffle hat, I need to make it now :)

[@mlecuyerpv]

Jodi...your new colour and hairstyle is so attractive and frames your face nicely.

[@phoebepaxford7184]

My hubby always knows when I'm watching GG when he hears me laughing at Jodi! 😂

[@denisedelgado3649]

What kind of needles sets do you guys use? I’ve been wanting to buy a set but don’t know which is a good buy

[@paulafralick6280]

Jodi. I love the George town cardigan as written, with the wide collar.

[@jeaninegunn4118]

Love the idea of a hat-a-long in Sept as I'll be retired from teaching then and will have lots of extra time to knit. Yeaah!!

[@fluffycloud6346]

Hi girls, glad to hear from you guys. Tracie, just curious, is there a reason why you don’t knit your socks two at a time?

[@jotaylor5999]

Hello! So nice to see an hour long podcast. was worth the wait! Question, is it possible to steek an acrylic77%-alpaca 20% blend? Is there a good tutorial? Thanks for all you do for us!!

[@bluevespagirl2]

Grocery Girls BROKE the internet! GO Mum!

[@helenstewart2619]

Tracey I LOVE your Apple Blossom Socks!! :-) And I'm so thrilled you're happy with them xxxx

[@GroceryGirlsKnit]

Helen Stewart thank you Helen.....I ADORE them!! 💕

[@ellenhealey5147]

It definitely was worth it. I have 2 of Joji's shawls on my needles...... the Jody and the Jujuy and I can't wait to finish them. I will be seeing her at an Ann Budd's retreat in Savannah and I do enjoy her Journals.... wouldn't know who she is if it weren't for you two.:)

[@signawilliams7707]

So happy to see your faces! The tech gremlins were hard at work on you guys yesterday and earlier today. Thanks for sticking with it and bringing us a podcast.

[@juliehertel21]

Have you thought about a vest or sleeveless garment knit along? Might be less intimidating to newer knitters than a full sweater, and might fit spring summer timelines. Knitters in the mid-lower states might find fibers other than wool excite them for something looks that (you know, cotton, bamboo, silk blends etc), while knitters in upper states and Canada might like light wool blends or other fibers. And of course all could knit for fall or winter wear for later.

[@stephanief7679]

I love coffee the exact way you do Tracie. ☕❤️

[@rnchimilar]

Love the shawl and yes yarn ink has me lately. BrambleKnits 🇨🇦

[@mendezcher]

I’ve had their chocolates! I believe you can pick and choose which flavors you want so it’s like a custom box!

[@catnipper56]

March 1stish? Firstish? Tracie - you crack me up!

[@helenmckenzie9630]

I've become obsessed with colour work! I've just order yarn for the Whalsay by Marie Wallin....in 4ply!

[@ashleighrichman9035]

I looooove Susan B's Smooth Operator Socks! Just took a class with her last week for these, and she had some pretty awesome tips (even though I've knit the pattern a dozen times already ;) ) :)

[@Randi19196]

Love you guys! Sorry about your Groundhog Day podcasting experience, but thanks for persevering! Randi

[@loopycare]

Yay! Finally got an episode! Can't wait to watch!

[@mendezcher]

Ok so I recently found you guys (love you) and after watching just a few new ones, decided to go to the beginning and watch through. Binge watch if you will. Well, you were giving away all sorts of fun stuff but of course that was 2 years ago! I didn’t want to miss the giveaways so am thinking of now working backwards? What to do... what to do...

[@sheltait4194]

For your pins....you can cover a piece of plastic canvas and frame. I’ve done that for earrings and brooches. Works great!

[@swiftknits4341]

I love the idea of holiday knitting now!

[@wendybrookes1878]

Loved all versions of this episode. Lol

[@Huniryder]

Love your show!!

[@christineferoli1750]

Love the new pins, how can we get one? Would love to add to my collection! Sparkle!!!

[@fairydustbunnies]

No matter how many times it takes I am here watching them all. Sorry its been so frustrating!

[@GroceryGirlsKnit]

thank you so much!

[@patiespenlaub6143]

So glad you were able to get it uploaded! Jodi, I haven’t been able to find your shop. Where is it???

[@traciemillar]

Pati Espenlaub all the links are in our show notes on Ravelry 👌🏼

[@rosekristen]

I love my Chiaogoo complete set! Go Jodi!

[@dee4174]

The rose gold yarn is beautiful. How about a bucket bag in that colour? 😊

[@valoriec]

Hi! Are you two on Ravelry? I really enjoy your podcasts and wondered if you create patterns too?

[@dkel84]

💗💗💗The idea of a color work along! I also need to make my first sweater!
