Grocery Girls Knit Podcast Episode 44

[@TheDivabird1]

Ok, I don't pee in my pants...but almost did laughing at you two!!! You never fail to deliver , fun, laughs, and all the latest in knitting !! love you ladies!!

[@jacquelinepirotta]

Ladies, it took me three sittings but I just finished the episode. Firstly, I loved it, and so thank you so much for taking all that time and energy to make it. And second, do not feel guilty for one second for any of the gifts you receive. You put hours into making that podcast and get paid for none of that time, and just as important, you provide an incredible opportunity for small businesses to get promoted to what is a large audience by knitting standards. I have purchased from many of the dyers and bag makers you have featured - none of whom I would ever have heard of if it wasn't for you. You are providing a wonderful community service - So enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!!!

[@anniecarhart3981]

LmaOOO I completely concour! BeCAUSE the ladies mentioned a nearly Local-2-Me dyer, I've checked out their site and am LUSTING after em ;) I hope these women use their gifts and knit em UP so they can show us:D

[@wheeltrish]

I have the big weekender bag from Jenna Rose. My son helpfully refers to it as my "pee rain" bag! But it is my favorite knitting bag, ever! I have been knitting a giant afghan for years and it fits in there along with EVERYTHING else I need to carry to knit group each week. And the zipper is heavy-duty and the handles!! OMG. This is the best bag EVER!

[@annieboulton5759]

Brilliant knitting. I love your jummie Jodi. Loved this podcast. Such gorgeous yarn and many other goodies. Thank you xxx

[@georgeanneglassner7459]

OMG!!!! I love Socks That Rock and Blue Moon Fiber Arts yarn! The colorways you shared are sooo beautiful! Shoot...going to have bookmark for later ordering. You ladies are absolutely super fabulous! My husband and I are on a road trip most of September, but I'm really hoping to make it to my first ever fiber event in Vancouver. 🤞🏼 Keep on sharing the knitting love! 🤗🤗🤗

[@jeanneklaver9307]

It's so much fun to see you two knitting sweaters. Love it!!

[@NannyKnits]

Good for you Ladies! I'm glad you guys keep it real on your podcast, that is what keeps me coming back!!

[@kaitlin8211]

I love you ladies, and thank you so much for talking so openly about women's health!

[@GroceryGirlsKnit]

Kaitlin So glad you appreciate it. We say it with humour , but the message is an important one. ❤️

[@cherspann]

You two are so funny and amazing! Jodi is my spirit animal!!! And I just love the way Tracie delicately scolds Jodi all the time! So cute!

[@manicspinner1959]

THANK YOU!!! for talking honestly about your bodies. One thing that amazes me (I'm now 58) is that NO ONE TOLD US WTF was going to happen to our bodies!!! So thank you!

[@wandapeitz1544]

Whew, I've made it. Over the last month or so I've watched all of your podcasts. Now I'm up to date. Thanks for all the laughs and introductions to new ideas, yarns, designs, and people.

[@traciemillar]

Wanda Peitz Hello!!! Thank you so much for tuning in... ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[@iamstitchywoman]

You two girls are hilarious. Thanks for starting my day with lots of laughs.

[@CleverestStitch]

Yay for talking about women’s health!!! That’s fantastic

[@irisclark6688]

You guys inspire me so much and are such a pleasure to watch..you guys are funny and make my day better ❤😘

[@therandomknitter1681]

Thanks for another lovely episode! I had a cozy Afternoon knitting with you gals talking away and showing the most amazing knitwear & yarns while it is all dark and gloomy outside :). Summers in the Netherlands, ugh!

[@jenniferjeremiemarquis5600]

Yay for more hilarious Canadian knitters! You ladies rock! Currently listening and laughing as I seam up a chunky blanket shawl. Gotta get ready for winter! I used to live about 40 min away from Drumheller. (Linden, near 3hills) you're right! It's an awesome museum. The decent into the town scared the crap outta me every time though! Lol!!

[@joboswell29]

Let me tell you I'm on holiday in Madeira and I'm lying on a sunbed by the pool with a grin from ear to ear I've only watched 3 minutes and I have to comment how much I adore you lovely ladies xxxxxxxxxxx hugs hugs hugs 🤗

[@GroceryGirlsKnit]

Joanne Boswell You had us as "lying on a sun bed in Madeira"!!!!! Lucky lady!

[@susanroberts]

Grocery Girls Knit I've finally found the place to leave a msg. Ahaha. I love the GG!!! I'm older and bedridden most of the time but I love to knit and been doing it for many years. I've learned more from the GG then I've learned the past 45 years. Such as blocking!! Who knew? Ahaha Thank you and keep up the wonderful job of educating us about different yarns and designers. Yours truly Susan Roberts. 💝😺

[@MelBatoon]

1st time watching AND I just finished my very first knit project! Thank you for the great laughs while I learned to bind this puppy off! 😆

[@cherylshelton1997]

You girls are absolutely my most favorite to watch. Feel like I have known you forever :) FUN! FUN! FUN!

[@juanafgutierrez]

the color of that yarn of the sweater you're wearing Jodi rocks!!!!!!! I'm 1 hour 47 minutes 30 seconds in and I can't stop drooling.

[@LB-pw7hq]

Hi Jodi and Trayce we just wanted to say thank you so very much for mentioning us on the podcast it made our week! Y'all are wonderful and deserve every gift for the inspiration you give all of us. -With love from the Knitting Lifestyle

[@katiedunn7084]

OMG....I LOVE that sock blank!!!! You gotta set the speckles free!!! I'm DYING!!! Thanks for entertaining me :)

[@nathaliepenar7908]

🤣 Omg I love Jodi's no filter comments and how Tracie adds to them. You girls are amazing so super funny can't get enough. So glad your podcasts are long.

[@gillianlay8963]

You girls are such ENABLERS! Jodie, I just cast on a worsted boxy after seeing your gorgeous one! And Traci - that bandana brioche cowl? LOVE IT!

[@justwannacraftCathyM]

Omg, you gals are the bomb! LOVE the sock blank!!!!!!! Whaaaaat!? Newbie sock knitter. Would love that. I might have to go to Rheinbeck this year....never been. Heard it is AWESOME!

[@dianesuvada2636]

I don't know where I've been for the past two years but just discovering you two and have been binge watching your episodes. You two are so great.

[@jessicapaquet4617]

Ok.. I was knitting on a hat while I was watching your podcast... But then I went upstairs to get another project bag... I just needed to work on my sweater because of all your beautiful projects!!! LOL big love girls, you're amazing!

[@deborahsatherstringari8367]

Love you girls. A new podcast arrival makes my day. I save it in my pocket for me time. 😘😘

[@beequilted55]

Thank you for helping make my day. I love watching you two interact - you make me giggle and I'm too old for giggling.

[@GroceryGirlsKnit]

Becky Ward There is NO SUCH THING as too old for giggling! 😂

[@beequilted55]

There is when you repeatedly have "accidents" when you do.😂

[@inapupo3308]

I enjoy watching you ladies so much! You make me laugh out load.

[@ijeomaiheke6451]

Thank you ladies for another fun episode!!! Jodi, you had me looking like a crazy person this morning, because I was watching you podcast in public and you started talking about your Dr's appt., I was laughing so hard that people were looking at me like I had lost my mind hahahahhaha, and it didn't help that I had earbuds in, so they couldn't hear what I was laughing at. Great way to start my day, thanks for the laughter. Have a great rest of the week ladies!!!

[@annkathy257]

I love the "party in my mailbox" segment! I feel that I learn about the new shops, new yarn colorways, and I get to see what the more established shops are doing now. This is always interesting! Thank you so much for doing this podcast, I really enjoy it!! 💕

[@handm3downzcrafts]

Ladies, I just love spending time with you. I love that you are both so down to earth and fun. And speaking for men, our "bits" also have issues as we get older. Embarrassment kills; get yourself checked and keep on top of things! And I love both party in our mailbox and retail therapy. Of course, I want *everything* but these segments share the beautiful and creative things that people work hard to produce for us, and I often end up buying one or two things that I really like. Keep up the good work, supporting our artisans.

[@whatjessdavis]

I got to take a class at stitches midwest a few weeks ago with Lorilee Beltman. She's fabulous! So knowledgeable. Next level knitting. How wonderful. I'll be watching all the fall festival/retreat knitting from home this year. But knitting all the #sweatersofsummer to join in the sweater making fun. Hope you both have a great week. Happy making!

[@GroceryGirlsKnit]

Jess Davis Lucky you! We can hardly wait!! Happy making to you too 😁

[@sallythibodeaux7992]

Great podcast! I love all of the colorful yarn and that you tell us who they're by. 😊

[@sandygrogg1203]

I LOVED that sweet little needle case the Zings were in! Thanks for another nice visit! Coffee in the morning..and you..a good combination!

[@GroceryGirlsKnit]

Sandy Grogg We can't imagine a case any better......check out www.shoplouleigh.etsy.com

[@sandygrogg1203]

Grocery Girls Knit Thanks!

[@osmvivify]

Hi, GG's! Enjoying your podcast a lot and was super happy to see you feature my friend, Annie's (Knitting it UP!) yarn in this episode. I am currently using two of her colourways in my beautiful Exploration Station by Stephen West. They're lovely and so nice to knit with! Plus her podcast is really lots of fun, too. :).

[@Tango13Collen]

Can't say it enough LOVE you gyns!!!! You make the day - thanks!

[@ValarieMatthews]

LOVE the Worsted Boxy. Just downloaded the pattern and ordered yarn! Yay!

[@traciemillar]

Valarie Matthews Double YAY!!

[@kaycarteryoung2912]

Love, love, love the Grocery Girls... but what I loved about Off Our Needles is the actual knitting you did. Talking about knitting is fun but actually knitting is too!

[@m.mercado3549]

I died!! You girls are soon funny! I couldn't wait for the new podcast!! LOVE!

[@TTKnits]

Love you ladies! I wish I could go to Rhinebeck! My budget was consumed by the Ann Budd Retreat in Edmonton-cannot wait! Pricey too for either event from Texas! Hugs!!!

[@laurag.1614]

I love your podcast! I'm going to Rhinebeck this year, too - my first time! So excited!!

[@tammyredmon4703]

Jodi! I Love that sweater! Had to put you gals on pause so I could go buy Joji's pattern!! Thanks!! Loved the show as always!

[@katieintheozarks]

My husband is in the same room while I watch. Every time Tracie says "OMG, Jodi!!" we say "OMG, Jodi!!" and giggle.

[@helenstewart2619]

Thanks so much for the shoutout for my podcast (you can find it in the app if you search Curious Handmade :-))!! I've been listening to lots of audio books lately too Tracie! We really got into Harry Potter which is narrated by Stephen Fry for lots of our holiday travelling. The best thing is everyone enjoys it!

[@kimcornell3508]

Love watching you girl, you sure know how to inspire us!

[@elisaandjoesdestinations703]

I love you guys, both of you crack me up. I really looking forward to you podcast. Thanks you so much for all your techniques, i learn so much as a new knitter. I can't wait to cast on your Grocery Girls shawl. See you on off your needles. Xoxox

[@jackiehuber4915]

LOVE Jodi's sweater!!! That yarn!!

[@lisacox4323]

I wish I lived next door to y'all. We could just knit and chat and drink coffee. Love your Podcast so much!

[@deblobre6020]

I like how real you two are! I love it. Love the back drop!

[@KnittersLeague]

Thanks again for the shout out! We love you guys ---- been watching you for a while! 💜

[@Dreamknitgirl-1]

Tina is the dyer from Blue Moon Fiber Arts in Scappoose Oregon! She is fabulous! I took a dye class from her in her barn last summer that I still need to knit up!!!!

[@knittingitup2954]

You guys are so sweet! I'm glad you liked my yarn! The "oy with the poodles already" is a Gilmore Girls reference :) Happy Knitting! - Annie

[@GroceryGirlsKnit]

Knittingitup Thanks, Annie!!! And your yarns........ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ thank you so much for sending them!! 😘

[@syrajimenez4874]

Really love you ladies!!!! 😘❤️😍 I recommend the WoolNeedlesHands Podcast if you haven't watched it yet. Tayler is the host and also has an AMAZING online hand dyed yarn store. A lot of her skeins go pretty quick. You both make me want to knit all the things. Lol. I just purchased the Veronika cardigan pattern...now I have to hunt for the yarn.

[@GroceryGirlsKnit]

Syra Haskins Thanks for the recommendation......Happy Veronika knitting! ❤️

[@brendapitre34]

You girls are so funny. I love watching you both.

[@katrinanewman5576]

Love the nice long episode! such a pleasure to hang with you girls as usual!

[@janetdavis1732]

Love Drumheller. Took the kids there from South Louisiana one summer. Such a great museum.

[@6699Jackie]

Such beautiful work by you ladies i am very envious so i need to try harder i think. Thankyou for sharing and making me laugh i have only just found you on here

[@chrisb5391]

It's 1:30 am and I am watching your podcast and laughing hysterically at your "soft weiner" yarn joke. If ever I feel down you are the girls to watch!! I wish I could knit all of the projects to talk about but I'm more interested in socks. In one of your podcast I wish you could explain the different weights of yarn, especially for socks. Thanks for sharing your time and talents.

[@GroceryGirlsKnit]

Chris B Glad we made you smile! Even i the middle of the night. Thanks for the suggestion about different weights of yarn for socks. We will do our best to discuss this next time 😊

[@jo-annefalconer762]

I have just looked up you one shawl bundles, I have so many of those patterns saved, so we have similar taste. Love your style. Keep up the great podcasts. Jo-Anne from New Zealand

[@kaberle7]

I just stumbled upon you two and you are a hoot! I will be back and I subscribed. I am a mediocre knitter and a intermediate crocheter. You guys are fun!

[@lisamcdonnell]

Watching this near midnight and and waking my kids up laughing at you guys!

[@SimmingWithSkeeter]

Bwahahhaa 😂 You ladies make me laugh every time ! I recently found you gals and I'm addicted (in a totally healthy way😉). I'm going back to watch them all!!! Keep it up ... You guys are fantastic 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@CreativeMoJoPodcast]

If you haven't watched the Fruity Knitting Podcast, I highly recommend it. I was late to the party on that one and binge-watched all their episodes from the beginning. Love it ❤️

[@cynthvm]

i swear every show costs me a fortune lol i need to finish some of my knts thank you so much for all the great ideas of what i need to kniw and also the indie dyers, we get to see such a variety, make one my loval store gets some dyers to come do a pop up shop always a fun time

[@zjrobertson26]

Missed you girls, and it's only been a couple of weeks! Already anxiously awaiting the next episode! 😘. Also, "Oy with the Poodles Already" is a Gilmore Girls reference.

[@crystalrich4240]

I wish I could hangout with you both! You are the cutest and funniest ladies!

[@Dreamknitgirl-1]

Hahahaha I'm laughing so hard and I've only watched the first few minutes!!

[@Rstega6562]

Oh My god!!! I'm running to the store to try to find those parmesan crisps!!! who doesn't want a MRS browns bag! LOL

[@Saladmama57]

Thank you for your real-life chats! "Nether regions", ha ha....Love love love your podcasts. I decided to cast on the GFTGS shawl because of your vlogs. (My first shawl ever and it is fun.)

[@susancutt5726]

Jodiiiiieeee I love your sweater and Tracey your sweater is going to be so lovely. I will come and knit with you at Knit City!!

[@NoelieTREX]

I am SUCH a fan of The Relentless Knitting podcast! They’re high energy, newer moms and Canadian do the love knit city as well ❤️

[@cryfreedom92]

Ah... uterine prolapse.. is what it is. I know it well, I work in this field of medicine. I love to see women find out about this INSANE thing that happens to basically ALL of us, especially if we've had kid(s)... Another one of those mama sacrifices. .... We're total martyrs. Love you ladies, you're just the best!!

[@tjreyer7281]

Love you wonderful ladies! And I had a suggestion for pattern note taking in a project. 😊 I use digital patterns primarily, and make notes in the pattern, but for things like the neck shaping and arm shaping at the same time (like in Jodie's sweater) I use my stitch markers! I will attach two different colored clipey stitch markers to the body of my work at the beginning of the right side of my work, and then I will take a split stitch marker and attach it to one color and basically tell myself 'when the split marker is on the purple clipey, it means to shape the neck' (I also make this note actually in my pattern as well in case my Swiss cheese brain decides to 86 the information lol), and at the end of the row/round I MOVE THE STITCH MARKER to the other clipey, which I have told myself 'the light purple clipey is for arm shaping' (and made a note of course lol) --this makes it super easy to tell at a glance which row I am on ( this is especially helpful on gusset increase in socks! 😳😁) but I hope this helps give you some ideas to develop your own 'project shorthand'! Also, my only request for season 3 of Off Our Needles is: please could you pick a KAL kit that either has a non-protein fiber option to choose with the kit, or a kit that just comes with a non protein fiber yarn? I am allergic to protein fibers (wool, alpaca, yak,cashmere,silk-well basically any fiber that is a made by or from a critter lol, and Wes very disappointed not to be able to participate in the KAL for the zadie sweater, because it only comes with wool, and I contacted craftsy to request for a way to purchase the pattern separately or with an alternate yarn, but they said due to the agreement with the yarn company and the designers they couldn't do anything. 😩 so that's my only real request! 😁 you ladies are amazing! And please let me know about this Denver yarn crawl! I live in Pueblo, CO , which is only a couple hours away! Would love to meet and visit with you wonderful ladies!

[@c.gracephillips5991]

I so enjoy watching your podcast! And , randomly those Parmcrisps are the best! I always get a bag or two when i go to sams. It's a must have!

[@WoolyWoolverinePodcast]

I'm arriving in NY on Thursday too unfortunately I'm not going to Rhinebeck. Have an amazing time ladies. I can't wait to go to New York it's my first time 😍

[@blfspinner]

You will love The New York Sheep And Wool. Up until 2 years ago I was a vendor but it got to be to much work for one person, dyeing yarn, weaving, knitting and spinning. We live about 3 1/2 hours from it but have other things planned this year. Put on your walking shoes and keep in mind its like shopping on Black Friday. So much to see and so many people oh and lots of great food too. You should be able to get all the Dove candy you want in New York. We live 30 minutes from Hershey, Pa where its made.

[@terriealleydavidson4772]

I'm new to knitting. I love that Sunday Drive cardigan. I've only knitted a dozen scarves and 2 hats. I'm considering this being my first sweater. I have a shawl and a blanket on my bucket list too. I hope this sweater is seriously easy and super fun. Yikes, I'm scared to death.

[@maribetht5882]

HI ladies. I just found your podcast tonight and fell in love with you both. I am going for surgery on Aug 29th and am on a liquid diet all this week. This is my first day of the liquid diet and I needed to find something to watch while I crochet tonight other than TV since it shows so much food. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! for entertaining me for the past 2 hours or more since I've been looking up most of the yarn shops you have been mentioning. :o)

[@traciemillar]

Maribeth Trefurt Best wishes for a speedy recovery!!! Liquid diet....ugh. Definitely knit all day.... ❤️

[@manonlong]

FREAKIN FINALLY, I found a podcast that is worth listening too. You 2 are so in my wheel house, LOL. Please don't stop making these. I still have a lot of catching up to do, so I look forward to getting to know you both better. :)

[@susanhorton4023]

Jodie, u and I so love the same style. I love that sweater. So going to make that. Here in florida, that will be my winter coat for all except 10 minutes. Thank u sooo much.

[@Skyguy3452]

Yay for Season three!! I just want more knit alongs

[@yvonnesanders5925]

LOVE THE SWEATER! looks awesome on you Jodi!

[@misanthropicknitter8900]

I am a first time watcher, and I am already a fan! love you guys!

[@chellejmakes]

That train ride from NYC to Rhinebeck is to die for!!!! Make sure that you sit on the river side. The views are spectacular.

[@GroceryGirlsKnit]

Chelle Jenkins We are so EXCITED.....great tip! Thanks!

[@elaynemordoff976]

Can you possibly post a list of all the yarns you showed in this episode?

[@freakincage36]

The 2 of you just kill me. 😂😂😂😂😂

[@marywebb1549]

I love you guys! I dont understand why people wouldnt want to see party in my mailbox! I want to kno whats out there! love all of it and I love Jodis sweater!

[@seanacerson6169]

I live in Ottawa and I'm laughing out loud about your parm crisp swap!! I feel exactly the same about American grocery stores, so much choice it's crazy! :)

[@mrspricecreates]

You should take all the knitted swatches and frame them and put then on the wall in your craft room like a mural

[@gailrogers265]

I have heard about you for ages but this is the first podcast of yours I've watched. You are both hilarious and I am certainly going to tune in again. Thanks for so much fun:)

[@2279carebear]

You two are the best ever!!!!!

[@frandefleurs5116]

Oh my goodness!!!! I love you girls, you make me screech with laughter 😂 I haven't even finished watching yet... just had to say... yeah, say it how it is, we all get there (I'm there all ready, going for exam today !! - hate it) and we need to let the next generation know what's coming... peeing pants and obsessive crafting 😂😂😂😂😂😉😉

[@superioradvantage]

My goodness you ladies are funny. I laugh my ass off😂😂😂

[@reginahobbs7627]

I've been plotting every possible scenario to go to Rhinebeck but I can't do it! We have a wool show in Yellow Springs, Ohio has a fabulous festival but I've never been to that! I only HEAR that it's a wonderful show. I WILL be going to my home state's Yellow Springs show in September and then I will make my way up to Rhinebeck in a few years. I AM GOING SOMETIME!

[@GroceryGirlsKnit]

Regina Hobbs We've been saying the same thing for a long time....you will make it happen! Enjoy your local festival. We are sure that it is amazing too. ❤️

[@naturegirlkareliz]

My knitsibs took me to rhinebeck a few years back! It's overwhelming and amazing. Lol. I just followed them to their favorite booths ( miss babs line takes about 1 hr but worth it) and then we hit every booth. We go for both days. I missed it last year and have to miss it again this year! So bummed and even more bummed since I know you gals will be there! Would have loved to meet you both in person. I love your podcasts!!!!! Oh well. I will settle for hanging out with you online :). Anyway. Enjoy. Go early. Lines and crowds are fine but be prepared. Lol. Enjoy Sunday too if you can. A smidge less crowded usually so strolling along all booths and buying stuff you were on the fence about on Saturday. Lol. Enjoy!!!!!

[@manicspinner1959]

And wow.... you two must be wealthy. These incredibly gorgeous yarns are $$$$ !!!

[@FairyLittle]

Jillaine Smith So many beautiful makers send their yarn for free:)

[@cindygal38]

I'm from High River AB and just visited the Tyrell Museum a couple of days ago too!!! Wish I would have run into you. Love your podcast 😊😊

[@TheDivabird1]

I dream of Rhinebeck!! It would be a17yr trip from Georgia, checked out amtrack ( want to go by train) , price is good, but then an extra hotel room and spending money...and I have to eat!!! duh.....but just found a huge lump in my thigh, now got to have MRI, surgery...blah, blah, blah....so there goes all my spending money!!!! Poo Poo!!! You girls, have a great time, take lots of pics !! I will enjoy it through your eyes!!
