When you said you added to the family, I thought it was going to be a new air fryer 🙂

[@ericadavan6952]

😂

[@les.garcons]

HAHAHAHA, that would have been funny!

[@hannahloades3790]

The bumps in the yarn are Neps and just so gorgeous I love a tweedy yarn ❤x

[@TexasChance58]

I love spending time WIT you guys! We're an Old -fashioned household, too.

[@brendal2438]

Max you have an great imagination that is why you are an animator!

[@savyjett]

Im so jelly you got to see jinkx in chicago!! How awesome, she is also one of my favorites!!

[@MelissaPizaro]

I did like NYC when I visited as a solo traveller. But when I visited a friend in Ontario we drove up to Montreal for couple days and I loved it and it felt a lot like my home city of Melbourne Australia, except for the duo language of course. Bonjour hello 😊

[@les.garcons]

Very cool! We hope to visit Australia soon, too!

[@dr.evelynsharp2351]

Look into "hump jumper" for thick/ many layer ease of sewing. I made my own and use it frequently even though my machine sews through many layers easily. It really helps even out the seams. Fun episode, congrats on Soup.

[@les.garcons]

Thanks for the tip! I got a walking foot (I don't know if I've mentioned it in the episode? I forget!) and that helped a lot, but I love getting more tips 😊

[@lleblanc5613]

Love the 2%. 😂😂😂

[@dexterlockhart425]

Moon along !

[@gaellezaccaro1691]

Merci pour cet épisode, vos projets sont vraiment sympas. Bon festival Vincent (peut-être es-tu déjà revenu hihihi) !

[@MikiCrespo]

That blue is the Blue 💙🔵🟦

[@thatcrochetchick369]

The moon bump knit along could be called “Good Knit Moon” ... just a thought

[@knottygurlcrochet]

Watching angel for the first time now! A few eps into season 4😮! Such an awesome show haha I’m obsessed!

[@les.garcons]

It is very good! Things get crazy in season 5!

[@lindagrutzmacher4364]

Ooo great stash busting ideas! As always, thanks for the pick me up! You always brighten the day.

[@samiraamysperryfaldet8969]

Ohhhh I am so happy! I am new to knitting and your show came up on my feed and I am so glad! Looking forward to bingeing your episodes! With love and fuzz, Samira 🧶🦄🐹☘

[@les.garcons]

Welcome aboard, Samira!

[@samiraamysperryfaldet8969]

@@les.garcons Happy to be here!!! Thank you!

[@tonithorn3811]

You might call the KAL “the moonrise.” I love that you are vlogging every two weeks!

[@les.garcons]

Oopsie, we skipped a week! We'll be back next Friday!

[@ericadavan6952]

😊 I’m finishing my Lovage sweater by saying I’ll do two rows a day, then I end up doing more 😃 keeping my fingers crossed for a tartan retreat bag 🤞

[@deniseconsiglio-lahti6443]

Great episode. I’m waiting for Moon Bumps to be published! Thank you both for sharing your talents with us

[@garyandmoeslater8583]

Love you guys! 🥰 Any interest in making The Yetis Cowl kits with your new colorways? I’ve just finished knitting Yetis Cowl with my leftovers from LAST year’s Holiday Mystery Box. What a great pattern for using leftovers! Thank you for yet another great pattern!

[@bethmacdonaldstone]

You too are too sweet!!! ❤. Loved meeting you Max and Tanya. Cant wait to meet you Vincent. Next time, here on a beach 😉. I’ll get working on that, stay tuned…. Vincent - safe travels to Yarndale!!!

[@pattishanks3788]

Great things to see in this episode! Love the red in your shawl, Vincent. Being a huge Van Morrison fan, your KAL made me think “Moondance”

[@justlivinwithyarn]

I love Buffy so much, and have been rewatching the series again. Also, Fireweed Fiber Co has a Buffy yarn club going on this year. The February yarn is Drusilla inspired, and I love that character.

[@maryanncasale87]

Always love watching your videos! Safe trip Vincent! Looking forward to seeing you both again soon! Thank you!

[@bethwhitaker8794]

Huge Jinx and Trixie fan right here!!!!

[@deborahhuss9579]

Cheers to both of you! I love seeing your creations...so talented. I just finished my Once in Floral sweater. Loved knitting it and know I will wear it often. Its my second colorwork sweater. Looking forward to your new colorwork design. Have fun in the UK Vincent and safe travels. See you in 2 weeks!

[@Blaize24]

So nice to see you both. Great haul from VKL, and both WIPs look fantastic. That blue is to die for! I got the Mysterious Sea subscription one minute after it went up (that's how long it took to put it in my cart and pay) and I can't wait to see the colors you've come up with. In the last couple of weeks I've finished a shawl, finished a pair of socks and cast on another, continued working on a throw, and cast on my Rhinebeck cardigan.The pattern is STOLT and it's full of cables and twisted stitches, both of which I love. I,too,am a tight knitter and had to go up two needle sizes. Safe travels, Vincent, and have fun at home, Max. See you in a couple of weeks.

[@ChelsZacMemph]

Hey All! I am watching this while I knit a certain fun test knit! I was excited to see this Happy Hour pop up on my phone! Was hoping to see you guys announce a second installment for the his dark materials club!

[@les.garcons]

It's been on my mind! I've come so far since the first installment as well, so I almost want to re-do it!

[@raesirotic7857]

I got the retreat bag in the first round of orders, and it’s by far my favorite project bag!

[@LindaSimpson]

Hi guys, lovely to see you both. I hope you had a good time at Unravel, I am hoping to make the show next year. Have a fabulous week. ❤❤❤

[@jacquiejy]

Awwwwww my daughter had a cat named Soup! Actually it was Soup du Jour lol

[@les.garcons]

😂 Love that!

[@taradennis7998]

Hello Max & Vincent! I’m always happy to watch your podcast. I have not made it to vogue knitting, live yet, and hope to in the future. I just finished Time Trades by Kaitlyn Hunter. I’m currently finishing up my valentines day Sophie shawl, and getting ready to cast on the Kraken cowl for Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival. I’m also definitely planning on another year of going to Rhinebeck in the fall. Have a fun trip Vincent.🧣🥂🧶🤗

[@sunnyw4148]

The bag is perfect for Unravel

[@dragonflyyarncrafts]

I just found you both (actually fairly new to KZbin knitting channels). Love your interactions. I can tell there is love and affection between you.

[@les.garcons]

Thank you so much!

[@stefanieblihovde9673]

Vincent - what’s your favorite gin? I keep getting Bombay Sapphire because that’s the first G&T I ever had, but am wondering if I should try other gins. So glad you’re doing the podcast regularly-I really enjoy watching! You’ve both inspired me to learn to weave-I’ll be starting lessons on a harness loom next week and if I enjoy that will probably invest in a rigid heddle loom.

[@les.garcons]

Bombay Sapphire is a classic choice! We have a great neutral local gin I would say would be my favourite, Portage, but Hendrick's is definitely up there as well!

[@mindykannon4650]

Went to VKL. It was fun, sorry to have missed you. I am with Vincent, no musicals...they drag out for too long..hahahah. I love Jinx so bet that was fun! Great podcast guys!

[@TK-cx8ve]

Love watching your podcast! It’s so relaxing and lighthearted. You are both incredibly talented. Safe travels Vincent✈️

[@les.garcons]

Thanks so much!

[@nicolelafontaine1720]

Thanks for naother lovely episode !

[@sunnieko]

Was it the time hotel?? I JUST stayed there haha! Chicago was right outside my window and Book of Mormon right next door. LOVED the hotel- perfect for anyone looking to explore the shows!

[@les.garcons]

It was! Great location, isn't it? - M

[@knittingpossect]

Vincent sorry you missed our Saturday dinner (even if it was in New York!) Looking forward to seeing you both in Bermuda! 🤣 (I just messaged Beth to tell her to get organized.) ...and Soup 🤣💕 -Kate

[@les.garcons]

Can't wait for that Bermuda retreat! 😂 We'll see each soon enough, I'm sure 😊 - V

[@pattigolden1]

Awwwwwwwww hamsters!!! I used to raise teddy bear hamsters..fun pet! Soup is a perfect name!! I'm so excited for the new club!! I actually set an alarm!! 😂😂🤣 I'm always jealous when people talk about LYS's, the closest one to me is a 3 hour drive away (Jimmy Bean's wools is a 4.5 hour drive).

[@les.garcons]

That doesn't make it very "L"! Let's hope a local entrepreneur opens up a shop soon 😊

[@irene10991]

Saw you Vincent at Unravel today but was too shy to say Hi! Hope you’re enjoying the festival. I got my order in for the ice dyed bag too!

[@les.garcons]

Oh, next time do say hi, I'm just as shy probably! - V

[@farkiemacd]

always great to see you guys. Vincent, not sure how you feel about blueberries, but I tried something in Maine called a Blueberry Gin Fizz... it was 1.5 oz of gin, 1 oz of blueberry syrup (not like pancake syrup, but maybe like coffee flavoring syrup? I bought some from a local brewery but they don't make it anymore), shake over ice and top with seltzer. serve with a couple of blueberries on a stick. It is DELICIOUS. And I agree with you about NYC... I'm close enough to drive in for a day, but usually it's just to go to a museum or a show. I get really burnt out from it quickly. But, if you can see Book of Mormon, do it. It really is a good show.

[@les.garcons]

Oh, great recipe idea! I'll definitely give it a try when blueberries are in season over here

[@TrickyNight24]

Super apologies re: my sweater race comment. Always lighthearted teasing only meant and I think I’m funnier than I am. As I usually cast on 5 new per one finished, my reason and logic seem to have a hiccup. Love all the things and congrats on the family growth :)

[@les.garcons]

Haha no worries at all! I'm actually going to lose that race SO BAD anyway 😂 - Vincent

[@toosilverme]

Such a fun watch! Love the bag!! ...about Brooklyn Tweed, i think it is a woolen spun, which is why it has the warmth factor, as I understand it...can you speak to the reason that attribute is not often listed. Would love to know this when deciding on a purchase. Thanks for these shows. :)

[@les.garcons]

Yes, Shelter is indeed woolen spun. We're not sure why it is not often listed! Maybe because it's rarer, or that people who know about the difference can recognise it by seeing the yarn in person? (They didn't account for all the online shopping nowadays!)

[@toosilverme]

@@les.garcons Thank you. I didn't know it was something you can see (if you know what to look for!) Appreciate your reply. :)

[@kdgeckoknits274]

Instead of a moon-a-long a luna-long.

[@saraw8503]

Max sorry you are prickly.

[@FizzBradley]

I tried to watch this episode but there were just so many adverts. I just skipped on that was 35 minutes long to be greeted with another ad not 20 seconds later. sorry guys, would have loved to watch the whole episode but after 18 minutes and roughly 12 adverts. I had to move on.

[@les.garcons]

Sorry to hear that! We'll check our adverts options to see how we can help reduce the number of them!

[@leeanutson1026]

The two most mispronounced Finnish words are: sauna and Laine Magazine. As. Finnish Canadian, I am here to set the record straight. Sauna is pronounced “sow-na” and not “saw-na”. Laine is pronounced “lie-nah”. I know that you were only talking about the magazine, but I had to throw in the other mispronunciation. 99% of the world pronounces it incorrectly, and I just wanted to share that here. It actually makes my brain hurt when people pronounce it incorrectly. Cheers 😊🇨🇦🇫🇮

[@dominiquebilodeau2225]

English is not their first language…it’s natural to want to pronounce Laine with a french twist, as Laine is also a french word that means wool for us. Also, in french we also say « sow-na » but again, they make an effort to do this podcast in english. They don’t have to, they could do this in french and it would be much easier for them. Everyone can’t have the same generic accent in this world. 🇲🇶

[@leeanutson1026]

@@dominiquebilodeau2225 I speak French - I know what the word means in French. They were questioning the pronunciation, and I was just telling them the correct way to pronounce it. I always pronounced French words with a French accent, and I always pronounce Finnish words with the correct accent.
