Ah I just love everything you guys do! Max is probably my favourite designer. The yarns you have are top notch and the clubs are always amazing. I look so forward to getting them in the mail! The floral hat and the new all over colorwork sweater patterns are beautiful. I will knit both for sure! ❤

[@les.garcons]

Oh thank you!

[@melissabell1806]

@@les.garcons also you influenced me and I just bought a ninja creami!

[@jimmydoesknitting]

You boys have been BUSY. Lots of beautiful patterns and colours. Of course, I'm loving Vincent's black knitting. 🖤 It was interesting to hear your perspective on the test. I agree that it's more of an oversized sweater. I was also curious of your swivel cable review. I cannot say the ones I purchased were that great.

[@les.garcons]

So far I like them, and I like the new needles - I've only tried them with the Heavy Merino, but so far so good!

[@joanngrigoli5349]

Yes, Rhode Island is New England. In Boston, visit the Italian North End and get pastries at Mike's! Very walkable and the Harbor Walk is lovely!

[@les.garcons]

Yay, geography skills are not SO bad! If you're a long-time watcher, you will know that we struggle with the US "regions", specifically what constitues the Midwest, haha Thanks for the recommendation!

[@Sassycanuckknitter]

Great episode Max & Vincent. I love the old fashioned cardigan, the new colourwork design that Max showed with the diamond shapes and the Petite Knit sweater that Vincent is knitting. I want to check out the sock yarn from Vancouver that Max is using too. My family is heading to Montreal in late August to visit family & visit the galleries…but as I am the driver I will find a way to fit in a side trip to your store. :) Bonne été, happy knitting and enjoy the festivals.

[@Sassycanuckknitter]

Also I need to see Jinx Monsoon’s nod to Chiagoo. I am a fan of RuPaul’s Drag race.

[@les.garcons]

Montreal is so nice in late August! I hope you have a great time and you get a chance to come say Hi!

[@caseywagner9484]

It's well worth walking through the Boston Public Library not far from Copley Square. It's incredible and memorable and free!

[@les.garcons]

We do love our books 📚!

[@Meredith36]

Oh my gosh, I’m so excited you guys will be in Boston! I'm hoping to make it to the shop. As always, the knits are stunning. And the yarn is breathtaking. Happy knitting 💚🧶💚

[@les.garcons]

Thank you! Can't wait for a few days off :-)

[@dianeduke3092]

I love love love that lime green you’ve done! And the new sweater design looks great too - would look good in red, just saying …. X

[@les.garcons]

Great idea! I can't wait to see your colour choice for it 😉

[@dexterlockhart425]

You should release the hat pattern now as hats are easy to knit in 30 degrees

[@les.garcons]

Right? Working on it!

[@bernicemcgowan6657]

I would love to see glimpses of what you are working on rather than wait for a final reveal

[@les.garcons]

Your vote has been counted, 😂! We'll definitely offer a preview

[@rochellefm]

Thanks for taking the time to make these podcasts, they're always so inspiring and motivating for our own makings! I love Vincent's test knit, what a beautiful colour combo. Can't wait to see the end product. Max, yes, please show us progress as you go for the collection, I find it builds the excitement for the release. That colourwork sweater is absolutely stunning. I'm keeping my eye out for this one (well most of what you guys do, I keep an eye out for, haha). Could you please share the details for the army green bag you have the sweater in? Is it Hide & Hammer, do you carry them sometimes in the boutique? So gorgeous Merci!!

[@les.garcons]

Thank you, Rochelle ☺

I will be joining the “old fashioned “ along!

Yay!

Yay for the new pattern. I sent you an email with some ideas. 🎉

I always enjoy listening to you two chat about knitting and all of the things. Thanks so much. Also, I can’t wait to see your progress on your next projects. Max, I love your new design. I may have to knit that for my sweetie.

[@les.garcons]

Thank you!

Not the DK version of the So Basic! Hope that actually comes to testing soon! 😍😍

[@DoSoKnits]

Hiya! Thanks for a fun episode. You are making me want a creami 😋 Question - I'm planning to see you both at flock 🎉 and I want to buy yarn for the old fashioned, but since you have the dyed to order up, do you think it would make more sense to order that in the listing now instead?

[@les.garcons]

Hiya! I'm not trying to encourage overconsumption, but I can say that it works as intended, if nothing else. We won't have the British Aran at Flock, so if you want the yarn for the Old Fashioned, you should take advantage of the dyed-to-order 😊

[@katedavy6272]

For sure, Canadian tire is great! We really miss it living in the states now!

[@digitalmarketingall]

Love your podcast. Would love to see the progress as you go…please don’t make us wait until the end! Your project is exquisite! Can’t wait for the pattern!

[@les.garcons]

Thank you so much!

Oh! La Tuque en jacquard est absolument craquante ❤ Mais je dois avouer que je n’ai encore jamais osé me lancer dans le jacquard 😕 Il va falloir que je me lance un jour!

[@les.garcons]

La tuque de Max est peut-être trop avancée pour un premier jacquard, mais c'est plus simple qu'on le croit!

[@shaunakadaddiesknittoo3664]

loving the new color bases. Would be so good to see some of them swatched up even together. love them all. Cannot wai to recieve my club order in Australia now I have seen them virtually. OMG.

[@les.garcons]

It just shipped today! 😉

Que de beaux ouvrages et de belles laines !

Merci Nicole ☺

[@mimiknitswithlove3273]

Loved the episode! Just ordered a sweater quantity for the Old Fashioned, which I'm making for myself! My son received the single malt, so I'm selfish this time. Along with that is Henry's Royal Blue for my pup, Henry. You gentlemen inspire me to finish all my WIP's, and make me laugh out loud while I'm watching. My 3 dogs think (well, they know) I'm crazy!! But if you could stop with the purchase suggestions, I'd appreciate it. Already looking into the Creami....I don't do dairy very well, either, so making my own sorbet or ice cream would be a treat!! Cheers, Kim

Vous allez adorer Boston ! Si vous avez le temps, comme vous aimez bien la crème glacée, je vous recommande le glacier “Christina Handmade Ice Cream” qui se trouve à Inman Square, pas loin de Central Square. Et ensuite à quelques pas du glacier, se trouve la mercerie « Gather Here », un magasin de laine incontournable. Et si vous avez un petit creux, à quelques minutes de Central Square, juste en face de Whole Foods, vous pouvez aller à Cicada Coffee Bar. Bon voyage !

[@les.garcons]

Awww, merci pour les recommandations! On a mis ça dans notre trajet 😊

I like doing a protein ice-cream by mixing in either a protein shake or protein powder with a little sugar free pudding mix. Super yummy!

[@les.garcons]

A lot of the recipes that I've seen are for protein ice cream. We prefer the cream and sugar ones, 😂 just as treats though!

[@pattigolden1]

Although the 'creami" sounds interesting, I've seen it, it's WAY too small & being just me, not worth the cost as expensive as it is. 🤷🏻‍♀️ OMG, that "beaver" is gorgeous!! Too bad you don't have the pins too. 😉 I know it's weird, browns are my favorite!! I'm laughing to myself as you're talking sweaters....it's been hovering around 110°F (118°F last Saturday) all week here in California's central valley.... a sweater is the last of thing on my mind!! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣🥵 Unknown when the heat wave is going to break.....I'm ready for winter!!!

[@les.garcons]

Ooof, can't imagine being this hot 🔥

I never received an email saying you found the mysterious city box yarn. I’m so happy you did. Just checked my tracking and it will arrive tomorrow. Max, I love to see new designs in progress it makes me excited and I can plan to make them. I hope you share what you are working on. Also, is there no dairy free Ben and Jerry’s in Canada? It’s ssssooo good!

[@Sassycanuckknitter]

Thank you for the ice cream maker and df recipe recommendations. I’m dairy intolerant too and I feel you re: dairy alternative options not always being stellar Vincent.
