Enjoy your well deserved vacation!!

[@unstopable8000]

Super cool story of the Meara Mill yarn by Olann is that it is a mill by Belfast Mini Mills on PEI. So buy a sheep farm in Canada and you're all set.

[@AnastasiaManifests]

Oh, that surprise shot of green, tho'... I can't get that gorgeous color out of my brain now.

[@gaellezaccaro1691]

happy vacation !!!

[@mtlaise]

Bonnes vacances, les gars!

[@headythreads]

I can’t believe that I won! Thank you so much! So excited for Hat and Peek ⛰

[@suemercer9859]

Enjoy your holiday. And surely we all know that toe up socks are the RIGHT way lol xox

[@Lisamakes]

La Bien Aimee for the mystery collab? That silhouette looked like a little Aimee knitting. Oh, and it cracked me up when Max called Martin Short/Steve Martin’s comedy “chapstick comedy” instead of slapstick comedy!😂😂 Not to poke fun at your English at all! Just made me giggle. Salut, Les gars! Bonne vacance!

[@sherismith9517]

Such a fun time!

[@justlivinwithyarn]

I love "Only Murders in the Building", it is something my husband and I watch together, which there aren't that many shows we both really like.

[@desireeyarber2808]

Wait!! "Chapstick" comedy!?! Yes!! I love you guys!!

[@knit365blog]

Great episode guys, I’m so glad I was able to get my hands on a holiday box! I really love Max’s black tweed sweater, it’s amazing!

[@janetjroberson2581]

Hello from Mounds Illinois. You both have Beautiful hair. Love both of your shawls.

[@sunnyw4148]

Planning to knit Opus in January when things should settle down. A great way to start the new year.

[@Loveleione]

Yes, Max, you do knit your socks the correct way - toe up! 🤣 Have you ever tried knitting them two at a time? Game changer!

[@susiehanna8617]

Thanks for another great podcast, love hanging out with the two of you. I am knitting my Opus now and loving it. Can't wait for all the "secrets" to be revealed!! Enjoy your vacation.................and Mini Knit City!

[@colleensanchez5991]

Love your podcasts.

[@janeevans7495]

It is a joy to see you two fashionistas! What will the hairstyles be, what are you wearing? Fun, fun, fun! Vincent you must include that darling foxy swatch as an inside pocket on a knitted jacket...imagine the surprise when the jacket accidentally falls open and reveals the inner fox! Try using an oval hoop instead of the round one. And the "Ray" imitation was perfection! Love the show! Happy Vacation...awaiting all these SECRET SURPRISES you have for us!

[@Angela-gr4vi]

It’s so funny because i like a lot of things you all watch. I’m actually watching true crime podcasts right now 🤣

[@bobclark98122]

MAX!!! Love that green yarn!!! I would SO use that in an OPUS cardigan...if it happens to be written up...[hint...hint...] LOL

[@rochellel4026]

Great episode! I’m a big fan of white wine. So it was awesome to have some with you. Enough with too many secrets. The suspense is killing me!!! LOL! Enjoy your vacation in BC! 🏔🌲😊

[@gailhamilton8529]

Another fab podcast guys 😁

[@TheDaneYard]

Bonne vacance!

[@nathanl2408]

You two are too cute. Loved everything except the secrets. I wanna know!!

[@gailhamilton8529]

I almost spit my wine out when Max told Vincent to show his backside and to see how clean it was 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@benitaferreira7946]

Hi Guys I am a new subscriber from South Africa. WOW you made my day, just the company I was looking for in these different days. Wish you a fantastic vacation. Lots of love 💖💖

[@TheKnittedBean]

BAM! I love that pop of green! SO gooooood!

[@alanam7667]

Are you two in Victoria now?! Our fibre festival is tomorrow! You guys should check out citrus and cane for cocktails when you are here! So good! Enjoy your holiday!!

[@les.garcons]

No, next week ☺

[@dianeazzopardi6269]

Great podcast. Can't wait for your surprise announcement.

[@annemahoney8726]

I absolutely love that show!!

[@shllybkwrm]

Super fun episode as always! I love seeing your color palettes

[@marysevb]

Hahaha, love the little steal from Ray, that made me chuckle!

[@WendyBarron14]

I know someone who chooses wine by the label, and a castle wins every time! :D I hope I'll see you at Knit City Mini. (Also, "chapstick comedy" made me laugh out loud.)

[@Sylvia_1002]

Vince is right ... cuff down!! Hope your vacation is as wonderful as you made it sound.

[@les.garcons]

I'll count your vote! I think cuff-down is winning in the comments so far - Vincent

[@eleanork3692]

Enjoy your well deserved holidays ! Can’t wait to see all of your planned ‘secret’ projects!

[@KateMH_]

Thank god you’re back

[@lb1049]

The black pocket on that black tweed is going to be gorgeous! Can't wait to see it, it's the next pattern I'm buying !

[@kathleensiegrist1457]

I’m with Vincent- cuff down socks

[@les.garcons]

So far, 3 mentions of cuff down in the comments, and only one toe up! - Vincent

[@jo-annethompson9645]

So good, thank you! Next episode should be an amazing 'show and tell'.

[@THEROBBIEKSHOW]

Enjoy your time in my city of Vancouver :-)

[@bonniethompson3211]

Also love Murders. Over the summer I participated in Summer Sock Camp with Crazy Sock Lady and managed to finish 20 pair of socks/footies. I tried toe up, sorry Max I prefer cuff down. My hands also hurt when using smaller circulars. Tried magic loop, it's ok. Still love my dpns, but found 2 circulars work great for me. I used 2 16" and was able to knit so much faster. Love you both, you have me laughing every podcast. 🥰💞🍷

[@patriciajimenez1630]

Love you guys! Have fun and enjoy your vacation 🥰

[@cherylturner4419]

Love the show. Beautiful knitting and projects. Great laughs. Like the 10” circular needle competition with Ray!

[@flosimonsen8162]

Love love your podcasts New yarns love the colours, can't wait for the secrets to be revealed! Enjoy your vacation, we just got back from our trailer up north, getting ready for a craft show in October! I know what you mean by having a smaller show, no hugs here either! Lol

[@VisitWithNanaAndPapa]

so happy!

[@mistyblue5312]

Can’t wait to see and hear about all these secrets next episode! Have a wonderful vacation.

[@MollyisMagic]

Omg 😂 Doing a "Ray" was hilarious

[@jenniferbarrett3272]

You guys are hilarious! I got so involved in watching you that I knit 2 inches on my Astrid Socks (Tracey Milller) and forgot it was supposed to be 3x1 rib- I am calling it creative license and blaming it on you - lol! I love the fox in duplicate stitch - that is the cleanest back I have ever seen -very impressive. I have never thought of using an embroidery ring-great idea. Loved all your WIPS and FOs. Looking forward to all the mystery knits. Enjoy your vacation. I hope you get sunshine. It is fricking chilly and wet in BC today.

[@mesheela]

Happy vacation! if I see you at Knit City I'll wave hello from a healthy distance. Everyone who comes in has to be double vaccinated anyway, so you should be safe there. Not safe from buying yarn, but safe from the other thing. Btw, cuff down, all the way;)

[@les.garcons]

Yay, team cuff down! - Vincent

[@jennifer_beaulieu]

Cuff down is definitely the right way. :D

[@lauracoffin]

You're not supposed to work on your vacation. Lol The pom-pom looks great with that hat.

[@les.garcons]

Right?! I'll have to haul the camera up a mountain too! - Vincent

[@kenwood9490]

I have subscribed to the mystery club and can’t wait to see the yarn! You guys are great! Have a good vacation!

[@KateMH_]

Me, becoming totally emotionally invested in Ben + the photographer boyfriend 🤯😂

[@les.garcons]

Hahaha, I don't think we'll get to see them, but I'll keep you posted! - Vincent

[@leetrayer8639]

I am looking forward to your 'secrets.'

[@klf4070]

Have a great, we’ll warned vacation

[@jennymiles4426]

I'm knitting with Olann's Bramble in Meara as we speak! Making a Childhood sweater by Ankestrik, off shoulder with high mock turtle neck - you can see it on my Ravelry if interested as I'm under same name. Really wasn't sure about the colour and the thick and thin texture when I started but now trying it on I love it - sooo elegant

[@ZackAnderson_KnitKnackZack]

Vincent, your vertices unite held double makes me want to make another one! I made my third section with a strand of fingering and Suri held together and it is amazing. I had the same intention with my shawl that I wanted to use only my stash, but alas I ran out of yarn and had to buy a few rows. Haha Max, I love your cozy classic raglan. I have a tweed version in DK and I can't wait to wear it out in public. I love it so much!

[@roxirossetti6250]

Nice try with the Ray paraphrase, Vincent, very sexy. All your projects make me want to learn to knit, guys!

[@sallysummerfield9952]

Just found you two and LOVE it!! I want to make your new shawl pattern and Jill’s. I want to use the yak base.

[@christinebrady723]

Love you guys!!!

[@janisgilbert3808]

Have a wonderful vacation! I look forward to your next podcast.

[@juliepower4343]

Lovely show, great projects, cannot wait for all the secrets to be revealed. Vincent, I hate to betray Ray in this way but your “10 inch circular needles” was sexier than Rays. Perhaps it’s the accent?

[@angiem2873]

Great show guys and have an awesome holiday ( it’s me Vincent Anyalulu )

[@les.garcons]

Hi Angie! ♥

[@janinetrimble2034]

I needed this today! Happy vacation, gentlemen!

[@KittenWAW]

When Vincent mispronounced "Mediterrean" I heard it as "Vegetarian Wine." That made me do a double take. Congrats Winner! I love that do so much to promote and support other dyers and designers. Do you think being dyer/designers makes you more appreciative of the work of others than you were before you started doing it yourself?

[@les.garcons]

It certainly does! It's proper hard work, and lots of it doesn't get shown, both on the dyeing and the designing front

[@tocko14]

You guys need to warn me when you're going to be funny...I need to time my martini 🍸 sipping better!

[@amandac6361]

So excited to see another video pop up, love it!

[@MissSholia]

Moi je vais me partir une compagnie de vin pis mettre des poissons sur l'étiquette du vin qui est fait pour boire avec du chocolat. Comme ça tout le monde va être mêlé 🤓 P.S. Bon voyage!!!

[@amcclellan509]

Always love your episodes and can’t wait for all of the secrets to be revealed! We are regular visitors to Whistler and always stop in Squamish on the way up and will often visit during our stay. Have a great vacation!

[@t-n-tcrochethookers6310]

Too funny, Vincent and their 10” circular needles. But Max I do love a toe up sock. 🥰

[@les.garcons]

Wrong team! But thank you for the comment ;-) - Vincent

[@jerriecook6908]

Max your right. Toe up, Toe up, Toe up...

[@mariannetaylor7404]

Loved your Ray!

[@carolynhp1319]

Your fox duplicate stitched on your swatch is so cute Vincent! Could it be a pillow/cushion or is it too small? Have fun in BC and enjoy your time off!

[@les.garcons]

It's a bit too small, but we have a wall of swatches that it'd be perfect for - Vincent

[@anitatoftjensen458]

❤️

[@robertamcintyre2962]

Hi: I think it was Max that mentioned he got the Olive Green yarn from "This is Knit". I wanted to ask if he knew if that particular yarn could be purchased someplace else in that color. My brother wanted a sweater in that color and Max yarn is a really nice color.

[@les.garcons]

A good number of stockists had that yarn, but I'm sure it's sold out by now. You can look on Olann's website to find out who the stockists are!

[@bernicemcgowan6657]

Oh dear I hope your aren’t on the. West Coast this week….it is scheduled to rain for 40 days and 40 nights. You may have to buy yourself some rain gear

[@les.garcons]

Fingers crossed! It's going to be next week, and so far, the weather seems ok. But we'll bring plenty of knitting too

[@lb1049]

Vincent, love the pun names for the yarns ! ❤

[@les.garcons]

I try! Sometimes it's not a pun, but an inside joke, or just an inspiration, though, but I definitely prefer the punny ones!

[@unplannedcauli]

It's not Welsh, it's Garlic! 😆

[@OriginalELQ]

I don't love the 9-inch either but I've solved that by using 12-inch needles! I have big feet anyway LOL

[@gabrielladenobile5818]

Hello Max et Vincent, I don’t usually comment but I watch all your episodes. I just have to say that I love you guys! My husband thinks I’m nuts 😂😂😂because I get all excited every time your new podcast comes on. All your work and yarn is gorgeous and you always make me laugh. I’m also a Montrealer and the talent that the 2 of you possess really make us proud ❤️

[@les.garcons]

Thank you so much!

[@ellenchiasson2303]

Xoxoxo

[@elaporte1]

I'm all about toe-up socks. You can try them on and after the ribbing you are done!

[@Melmaz32]

‘Purl Together’ here on KZbin has a great video to fix brioche: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWq5m5WkdtGricU Very clear & easy to understand. Thank you for all your inspiration! Love watching you both. I Was so to excited to be able to order your holiday advent! Yay ! BTW toe up (sorry Vincent)
