Super awesome first podcast! I am not a drinker (I am an old lady) but I would LOVE to start drinking with you two! Very beautiful designs. I love to see the passion of your art and the inspiration... makes me feel young again. Bless you both with your endeavours!

[@hens-n-chicksfiberarts]

Vincent Beautiful fade socks!!! Welcome to the CSM world!!! Look forward to more of your episodes :) Welcome to spinning Max!

[@annieboulton5759]

Hello Max and Vincent. I enjoyed your new podcast very much. Your knitted garments are perfect. Love your jumper Max and all of the lovely socks Vincent. The yarns are beautiful. I am looking forward to watching you both again. Best of luck with your podcast guys. Take care xxx

[@Okillh]

J’ai passé un très bon moment en votre compagnie, ce premier épisode est une réussite, bravo. J’ai hâte que le pull de Vincent soit disponible sur Ravelry il ira direct sur mes aiguilles. Merci à tous les deux pour ce que vous apportez au monde du tricot. A bientôt Olivier.

[@joellesevigny6376]

OMG le design de Unbearable, c’est beaucoup trop cute! Bravo les garçons!

[@Carola-By-The-Bay]

Oh! Oh! “Unbearable Hat!” Adorable! 🥰 I live in a small coastal town called Los Osos. That is Spanish for The Bears. 🐻 (And, yes, there is an occasional bear!) 🌻

[@les.garcons]

They're probably just as soon! 🐻

[@govidgordana2293]

Hello, I’m so happy your podcast came across my KZbin recommendations. This was so enjoyable, I’ve subscribed and looking forward to more time spent with les garçon 🤗🧶

[@TheDaneYard]

Bonjour! You made this Quebequoise feel at home. I live in Kansas City (USA). Because of C-19 I have not been home to see my family since September 2019. Merci Les Garcons !

[@tracyellis5533]

Great first episode. Production quality was fantastic! Love to hear little bits about your personal lives. Helps to understand your knitting/yarn perspective and where your inspiration comes from. Well done!!

[@carolynhp1319]

Bravo! 👏 Congratulations on your first episode. (Vincent, you have to convince Max to give you that lavender hat. It looks so good on you! 😉)

[@les.garcons]

Thank you! And I'm not giving him the chance to say "no", I'll just take it ;-)

[@lauralynn3043]

Where have you been all my life?! Love this first episode, wish I had found it sooner 😍

[@les.garcons]

Welcome aboard!

[@mixedandknot5911]

New here on you vlog. I love watching videos of international knitting designers because the choices of colors, patterns, and techniques are different and exciting. Thank you very much.

[@Sylvia_1002]

What a happy surprise to have your podcast pop up as a recommendation! I have to admit I didn't really "see" everything you were showing because Vincent is so mesmerizing. I'll re-watch later, though I might have to tape a piece of paper over his face to pay better attention!! I'd not heard of the "His Dark Materials" books so that's now on my list of things to do. Already looking forward to your next episode.

[@les.garcons]

You're making me blush ☺️ - Vincent

[@celinacyr9175]

Oh my! Stoked about a new knitting podcast. Love the video and thanks for sharing. I love the fact that you are Canadian and plug Canadian dyers and designers. Yay! I'm in love with your designs and yarn. Someday I will be able to purchase your yarn and a few patterns I have my eye on. I'm currently packing up my possessions (new owners bought the house, i'm a renter) to put them in storage,and will be living in my car,as the rental market is atrocious. As long as I have my knitting, I'll be happy! Looking forward to more videos,and all your wonderful projects. Thanks for sharing!

[@roseforget881]

I just found you. YAY. Your accents are marvelous, and entertaining. Congratulations on a really good first episode. For Max, keep going on your spinning. The longer you practice, the better and finer you can get. Then you can get a 3 ply to die for. Thanks for the program. Rose from North Dakota.

[@sillybeeful]

Happy Hour is the perfect name for your podcast... cheers 🥃 🥃 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🙏🏼🧶 😂😂😂Tipsy Knitting, love it

[@Carola-By-The-Bay]

Hi. 🧶Dropping in (and starting at the beginning) because Ali (Little Drops of Wonderful) mentioned your podcast. 😊 You got me at Negroni! 🌻

[@susiehanna8617]

Great podcast!! Thanks so much and loved the music as well as knitting content. Well done, until next time.....cheers

[@sharonhoffman8688]

Tipsy knitting is definitely a thing !! Great podcast, thank you

[@cecilehoare3053]

Love the redye of your sweater, the grey marl turned out beautiful! Max, your cardigan/jacket would look cool as a vest cardigan with a hood!

[@chaseschwartz]

You can also wind it on a yarn swift too. Pick a fiber you would love. Something soft

[@mesheela]

What do you mean, we're not really here? Of course we're here!! I'm pretty sure we're here. Are we here? Wait.... (BTW awesome podcast:)

[@SStroud2024]

Dear Max and Vincent, I love your work so much! The color and depth of your yarn is always outstanding! I have to watch this video again and again. Honestly you guys someday should start a kniiting museum (maybe digital) that shows all your work!

[@janelldaley9403]

You had me at Orange to Pink to Charcoal...... OMG I can’t wait!

[@lisalepage5363]

That hoodie is amazing. And your pompom is not to big. It matches perfectly! Thanks for sharing.

[@helentkalcic4417]

A monthly podcast?? I like your idea Vincent...every 3weeks! I enjoy getting to know designers and dyers, it makes me appreciate their work. Just started the Mini-Montrealer and loving it! Thank you for sharing your creativity and artistry!

[@joolz...]

you just came up on my feed, glad to see you love Scotland, I just had a wee peak at your site some fantastic pattern, ive only been knitting / crocheting for just over a year so I'm just a beginner but maybe one day I will give your patterns a try. :)

[@HawthornCottageCraft]

Love love love this first episode! Looking forward to the next! You made my birthday weekend!! What could be better than spending my weekend with two Canadians....Canada being the home of my heart🇨🇦❤️

[@les.garcons]

Happy birthday!!

[@momojqs]

Très contente de voir votre podcast. J’aime voir de plus en plus canadiens passionnés par les différentes laines et tous ce qui peux être créer avec.

[@MissSholia]

J'ai trouvé ça très cool quand vous avez montré les tuques dans le bas de l'écran avec le nom écrit dessus. C'est super concept. J'ai hâte de voir le design de Vincent terminé. Je suis vraiment intriguée par le ribbing au bas . Le dessin pour le tote est vraiment beau!

[@kerynrivett9351]

OMG guys!!! I’m moving in - we watch the same telly! The Drag Races are on Stan here in Australia and we are at the same stage. My fave in the UK is also Lawrence Chaney (you HAVE to say it with the accent) and my favourite in the USA got covid (I won’t put a name in case others are behind), I look forward to watching her win the next series. My next favourite, the nurse, didn’t get back in! Who has been your favourite ever? Mine is Bianca Del Ray - hilarious and I love her style, a very close second is Vanessa Vanjie Mateo. RuPaul has been filming one here in Australia - I cannot wait! - I hope you get to see it.

[@chaseschwartz]

I glad I came across this. I never would have thought it was yarn related

[@dawnvega383]

You spin, dye and you read, I am in love with you guys! You have a shop and design, would you consider a crocheter?

[@marilyn1228]

Negroni,my favourite! Love your talk and yarns. Plus you guys are too cute! Subscriber!

[@laurelkoumarelas6264]

Thanks for the tip about the audio book for His Dark Materials. I loved the show, and I just downloaded the audiobook from the library!

[@Annie.C.61]

Well that was a very pleasant hour spent with you guys. Liked and subscribed :) Lawrence Chaney is also currently my favourite Drag Queen in RuPaul's Drag Race UK. I thoroughly enjoyed the first UK season and absolutely adore The Vivienne and Bagga Chips. I digress. I love what I've seen of your work so far and thoroughly enjoyed this video. So looking forward to the next one. Thank you and stay safe.

[@PatientFarmer]

Wow! I subscribed to your channel to watch when I had time...and totally forgot....😅 now I have so much to catch up on. 😝 I think I need a drink too!

[@SuziQZ]

Just made my very first yarn club purchase EVER! His Dark Materials!! I am sooooo excited 😊🥰

[@louisegenest6556]

Bravo! Beau podcast. J’adore. Une petite faveur : ce serait génial d’écrire les noms des laines dont vous parlez dans votre émission. Il y en a une en particulier, celle teinte par une Ontarienne en fade. Tellement belle! Merci.

[@misterwool]

Fantastic episode guys, i didn´t have the opportunitie to watch you before and i enjoyed a lot the podcast!, i will go for the next episodes!

[@patmurphy5594]

Thanks guys! So fun see you soon😉

[@knottypinepodcast2562]

LOVED your first episode! I'm a big fan of all of your beautiful work, you are both so talented I love everything you do and I'm so glad I get to hang out with the two of you now😁I'm currently knitting my 12 year old step-daughter a Mini Montrealer and I recently knit my 5 year old daughter the unbearable hoodie, love your designs, cheers!

[@sherikoehler732]

Love the lavender hat on Vincent.

[@melodyneal663]

I really enjoyed your podcast. Loved seeing the sweaters you have knit. Love your accents.

[@les.garcons]

Thank you so much!

[@lyndaannibal8990]

Wow, I look forward to the next podcast. This did not seem like your first, you guys are great.

[@raphaele4561]

Hello, it was so fun to watch you ! Merci les garçons for the very good moment I spent with you knitting, drinking tea, and laughing !

[@rebeccamork7721]

I love his dark material, negroni and knitting! I am so happy you guys are doing this.

[@bonniethompson3211]

Fantastic podcast! I'm planning on learning to spin this year, drop and wheel, crossing my fingers! Thanks for the book recommendation, I'm constantly listening to audio books while knitting and crocheting. So glad I found you guys! ❤️🧶

[@DynamiteTrujillo]

I love, love Negronis. And I am in love with your new channel. Thank you so much for it! I am totally going to knit that slipped stitch hat asap. xo

[@robertoamezcua7624]

Hey guys, great first episode and great chemistry (I wonder why? XD) I truly enjoyed it and the time went so fast, I wanted more. One suggestion about when you guys make a pattern that you reference, I love the sweater that Max is wearing "Waves of Change" by Denise Bayron, could you mention any modifications you did to it, if you did, or if it works as is for guys. I really love it. Also the color way of by Delz for the BROMBAER jacket WOW!!!! mind blown love the color way. I don't know if I can wait another month for another episode of Les Garçons.

[@julianedebus7990]

I very much enjoyed my knitting time with you - thank you! Stay happy and healthy, best wishes from Germany, Juliane.

[@joannalangford2556]

Lovely to meet you 😀 such a great first podcast, look forward to hearing more from you both, a big ‘cwtch’ from Wales, UK

[@les.garcons]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@dshorty57]

Vincent you’re such a good hair model 😘🤣 lovvvve your accents..max with you on the black nail polish !!

[@les.garcons]

Thank you, Dawn! As someone commented on Instagram, my hair came to PLAY that day! - Vincent

[@yarnsbythebay921]

Hi from Australia, your podcast is informative and fun with yarn and dyeing discussions and I am a fan. Congrats great podcast.

[@lindagaber7723]

Well this was FUN! Extraordinarily handsome men who knit, spin and dye yarn!!!!! Be still my heart!

[@lynnetaylor8974]

So glad I found you! Enjoyed your first episode. So fun. Thanks.

[@larajean1]

Excited to see that you were podcasting! I am a fan of your designs and have knit at least 3... Great show and can't wait for another!

[@flourchylde]

Holy Cow! Over 5K subscribers after your first episode. Congratulations on a lovely podcast.

[@karenkent4406]

What an enjoyable time! Thank you ! I'm pulling my Golden Compass book which I bought years ago and put on my so with my stash! Following you both on Instagram and am soooo jealous of the sock knitting machine. I've wanted one for years!

[@TaraSykes3]

So pleased I fell upon your podcast. Really can't wait to catch up on the rest. Love the name btw.

[@tammyredmon4703]

Enjoyed your first podcast and looking forward to the next! Wishing you both continued success!

[@andrearoellin9197]

hi guys, sooooo great to see you here. Looking forward to the next time..

[@donnacoleman4034]

Nice to meet you both. Very much enjoyed your podcast and hope to meet you IRL, if we ever get “unlocked”!

[@katerinarajmicova4770]

Such a wonderful time with you and your projects. Thank you for sharing! Many greetings from Czech republic 💞

[@reginahobbs4753]

Nice 1st podcast guys. Totally enjoyed all your talent and fun. Good luck:)

[@leetrayer774]

So glad to meet you. I first heard your names from the Grocery Girls. Great products, yarns and patterns.

[@debbieperea95]

Fun new show. Loved watching y’all from AZ 👍🏻🧶🧶

[@sharayale]

So so happy you have decided to make a video vlog!! Thank you so much for sharing! Greetings from Ibiza! Already subscribed!

[@markgailmor5954]

great show guys. I just started watching and now I'm addicted.

[@FibreNuts]

I love your podcast. If you have too much twist on your yarn you can pass the singles through the wheel on the opposite direction. I think you can do the same with the drop spindle. Also, once you wash it will loose some of the twist too.

[@catherinesopinka]

So glad you two started a podcast. Everything was perfect . Looking forward to the next episode.

[@ricknajdzion]

Congratulations on your first episode! Really enjoyed it fully! Looking forward to episode 2 and beyond!

[@mistyblue5312]

Wow! Isn’t this fun to see our Canadians here. Love love! You too look like pros in your very first podcast. Very enjoyable. Congratulations! 👏👏👏💐

[@les.garcons]

Thank you so much!

[@clairemcmorss2406]

Nice to meet you! Looking forward to a new episode. Greetings from the Netherlands.

[@FrannyDoMakes]

Greetings from West Yorkshire! I really enjoyed this podcast guys. You both have lovely relaxing voices to knit to. Wish I could’ve got the dark materials club, but luckily I am trying to have a stash less 6 months ( if not year) so I will admire from a far. I’m currently re-reading the original trilogy before starting on the 2nd la belle sauvage book. Looking forward to the next installment. Stay safe.

[@cathydaly8312]

Really enjoyed your 1st podcast and looking forward to the next!!!

[@TheWoolpatch]

Hey from the U.K.! Congratulations on Episode 1. Been following you both for a few years now...was weird not only seeing you but hearing you too hahah. Those accents! ☺️🥰 loved your projects and makes - Max’s BROMBÆR stood out to me, loved it! Very similar to my upcoming finished object.I call it my game of thrones coat!!! Loved those red and white striped socks too Vincent! Here’s to many more happy hours 👍🏼👍🏼 Stuart

[@les.garcons]

Thank you, Stuart! I hope everything is going well for you :-) - Vincent

[@Caroline-ko8yq]

Hello from the UK. I'm new to you guys and thoroughly enjoyed the hour. Loving your designs and knits and loving the smiles. Can't wait for next month when I will be joining in with a little drinkie of my own!

[@christafischer4042]

This was a treat, thank you! Loved the yarn club bag spoiler. Maybe you can include a drink recipe next time?

[@vindeljay]

Lovely to meet you guys, Love the podcast, great pace, great content, love the projects . Good one.

[@joannehenkie2781]

Wow love your show. So cool when you showed the cowl. I made that cowl from a kit. Love love love it.

[@janelbuckingham6292]

LOVED THIS! I'll be here for every episode, no question!

I like your torque look like they have both bears and dears intertwined for the pattern. 🥰

[@moniquefourcaudot2475]

This was fun to watch. Tres jolie.

so happy to be here!

[@angiemcdermid4845]

So delightful. I especially appreciate that you are being yourselves and bringing something special to our knitting world. Merci from BC

[@yvonnemiller8898]

Funny that you said that when someone says That looks Store bought, that's a good compliment. Once someone told me that the dress my mother had made for me looked store bought and I was insulted. It looked better than store bought to me because it was a perfect perfectly.

[@WendyBarron14]

Great first episode, guys! So happy to hang out with you and hear that lovely Québecois accent. So dangerous to the wallet, though!

[@ginnylawliss484]

Wow! I rest enjoyed your new show. There was so much info and beautiful knitting and yarn. Thank you for sharing this with me 🙂

[@les.garcons]

Yay! Thank you!

[@jonathafoli1584]

as an event coordinator i hosted phillip pullman for an author event in northern california! he was brilliant. so delighted you are dying yarn for the golden compass.

[@FiberHustle]

Great production, great content, great everything. It did not look or sound like a first show at all. You all already have your shit dialed in. Excited to see where you gents take it, and would love to maybe test knit for you all sometime.

[@SuziQZ]

Fiber Hustle I found this podcast through yours! Good stuff everywhere☺️

[@carolbulmer8253]

Good first episode... I look forward to seeing more😊

[@cydneycolvig656]

The overdye looks great. I have done this many times and things always work out! Another to watch - Call my Agent. Hilarious escapades of a talent agency in Paris and bonus - in French.
