Max your squaropolis swatch looks like a darling Barbie shawl!

[@KateMH_]

Holy cow we need the tutorial for knitting brioche in one pass!! Pls link or just make the tutorial vid!!!!!! Desperate for this wisdom!!!!!!!

[@les.garcons]

We'll work on that 😊

[@craftsywendy]

I am working on a brioche cowl using two colors in one pass. I love the way I am doing it. It’s so easy.

[@witchyyarns6055]

I am in awe of how talented you both are! All of your secret projects are amazing! Love the 4 6 inch needles at the end! Haha! Great episode! Can’t wait to see what you reveal next!

[@les.garcons]

We have many things planned!

[@cindybee7999]

You are both extremely talented, and it's always such a joy to see what you have created. Congratulations on your achievements!

[@stephanieturner7300]

Are you kidding me? That yarn is gorgeous!

[@rachellep3077]

So excited for more kits with Aimee! Also the new colorway!

[@mickiwhite4754]

Miss you guys

[@ZackAnderson_KnitKnackZack]

I am so in love with the infinity scarf. I totally want to knit it out of four different colors other than using minis! So pretty!

[@les.garcons]

Great idea!

[@Boulette091186]

Han ! Le petit clin d’œil post crédits ! Impatiente de voir la nouvelle collaboration avec Aimée !

[@knitpurlsquirrelwithgrannydee]

All your work is amazing! Saw you two in the new Webs mailer!

[@jo-annvasselin736]

Bonjour/HI Max and Vincente! Love your podcasts. Congrats on your achievements..so well deserved for two very talented guys!

[@carolinegartner4234]

I agree about the opportunity for learning the infinity scarf offers. I am learning a lot! I am understanding my own gauge and knitting style more. I am however taking a break to finish a WIP and look forward to picking it up again soon. I paused at the corrugated ribbing section. Im thankful to arne and carlos for teaching me Norwegian purling as it came in handy during this section. It's beautiful.

[@les.garcons]

Wonderful!

[@sallyrogers5880]

Congrats, Max, on your animated series! And you are right, toe up socks are the best!😉 Looking forward to trying Shibui Haven in Boreal, such a beautiful color.

[@les.garcons]

Thank you! 😃

[@janetjroberson2581]

Hello from Mounds Illinois. Congratulations! Love you guys you are both so funny. Beautiful sweaters and cowls.

[@AudFar]

A really packed episode. Love all the new patterns and congratulations on the new TV show. Hope Ray accepts your challenge Vincent!

[@les.garcons]

It's a really fun running gag :-)

[@chantalboissinot6058]

This was the perfect video to cheer me up. Thanks guys. The more i watch the more i find things we have in common Max and socks should definitly done toe up.

[@suestamm3190]

You guys are awesome. So much talent, plus great chemistry. Congratulations on your book, Max!

[@les.garcons]

Thank you!

[@lindamedynski1687]

I received the project bag and progress keepers😀 I love them, the bag is so well made can’t wait to use it! It is thanks to the Needles at the Ready Guys showing it on their podcast episode 55. Thanks again!

[@Vanessa_crafts05]

I love watching you two! Max, congratulations on the show! That's an amazing accomplishment!

[@les.garcons]

Our pleasure!

[@Sewdeluxe]

Love your new designs and the new colors with Shibui. I agree with your comments re: Westknits. I have done his MKAL every year since I started knitting ( missed just the first one ) and I credit those for upping my knitting knowledge. First time I did brioche, first time doing the Latvian braids, bubble borders, on and on. I learn something new every time and his tutorials walk you through every step. I also love your infinity cowl.

[@les.garcons]

Thanks for sharing!

[@craftsywendy]

I love the green! That shade is one of my favorite colors.

[@les.garcons]

It's so good!

Il est vraiment beau ton pull Vincent :) J'adore vos 3 couleurs de la collection avec Shibui. Que de beaux projets! Je vous souhaite une année 2022 aussi créative que 2021.

[@les.garcons]

Merci Mélina!

[@bonniethompson3211]

Lol, I love you guys!!! You always have me laughing and give me new ideas. Max congrats on the show! Love the mosaic shawl and Vincent I'll be looking for the cowl. Cheers! 🍷🍾🥂

[@les.garcons]

The cowl is already out and can be bought here: www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/from-montreal-to-paris Kits will be launched this week!

[@deekay1641]

Wow, congratulations Max, on your animated series, looks like so much fun. Congratulations to both of you on the collaboration with Shibui, the colors are so good. A lot of beautiful knitting. The shawls are gorgeous. Thank you for so much inspiration. I'll be looking forward to the new sweater pattern. I have a Shiba Inu, loved the cute pin, definitely need that. I was laughing so hard when you sent a message to Ray about the four 6-inch needles😂.

[@les.garcons]

Shiba Inus are the cutest!

[@malloriebiron5918]

All these (previously) secret projects are stunning! I knit a pair of curio socks with self-striping yarn and it had a color-blocking effect, really fun pattern.

[@les.garcons]

Oh cool! We'll have to try that too!

[@bags-by-carol]

To 2023! Yup - shit show pretty much sums it up so far. So happy to see you guys for a late week treat episode. Always a treat. ❤️

[@les.garcons]

Thank you, Carol 😊

[@RollinWithRosie]

Omgosh, I really enjoyed your show, this is the first one I've seen, I love your makes, congrats on your cartoon! I love the 6 inch circulars at the end, I love Ray and Kevin

[@les.garcons]

Welcome aboard!

[@prudentsebastien5686]

Heureusement que votre super podcast n’as pas lieu tous les mois car je craque tellement sur tous les designs. J’adore votre univers teinture et modèles.

[@les.garcons]

Oh, mais normalement, on devrait en faire un toutes les 3 ou 4 semaines. J'espère que ça ne sera pas trop!

[@carolynogrady9139]

Good things happening to good people! Love it 🥰

Félicitations Max pour la série animée 🤗 Ça doit vraiment faire chaud au coeur de voir que tes personnages sont autant appréciés!

[@les.garcons]

Merci :) - Max

[@elizabethchristie4749]

Hi from Scotland. Love your podcasts , you are both so talented it's a delight seeing all your designs and knits.

[@les.garcons]

Thank you so much! There are no words to describe how eager we are to go back to Scotland!

[@juliecote291]

Félicitations Max pour l'animation de tes illustrations! Je vais aller y jeter un coup d'oeil certain! Et Vincent, ton col "mystère" pour la boîte de l'avent est magnifique! Vous avez de superbes projets, c'est le fun à voir! PIs on se souhaite que le reste de l'année ne soit pas aussi merdique!

[@les.garcons]

On se le souhaite aussi!

[@anneoien]

Hey guys! I really enjoy watching you're videos. I love how creative you are. The scarf that Vincent made is absolutely gorgeous, might make it myself😉 Congrats Max and good luck further for both of you. Distance hug from Norway❤️

[@les.garcons]

🤗

[@LesTricotsdeMarie]

Merci pour cet épisode. Toujours de magnifiques projets. J'ai adoré tricoté le col infini MKAL et, depuis, je le porte à tous les jours. Coup de coeur pour le Magnolia Bloom, les bas Curio, le Vertices Unite et le nouveau châle de Max!

[@les.garcons]

J'adore que tu portes le col tous les jours - Vincent

[@sylvieboisvert]

I was at a trunk show with the new book from La Bien Aimee and your sweater is beautiful…and being well cared for, Maxim!

Allô les gars! Je n’ai pas de mots pour vous dire comment vos couleurs sont MALADES! Bravo et à toi aussi Max pour ta série!

Best entertainment show of my day! Cracking up over all the repartee!

[@MrEj7ak]

Always great to watch you guys. Had a moment though when I thought you had added in the Gummi Bear theme tune in the background ..... then I realised by Disney Plus had unpaused lol

[@les.garcons]

😂 🐻

I really like your collaborations and also your individual works.

Nice to see both of you

Nice to be seen! Have fun watching 😊

[@TheKnittedBean]

That Vertices Unite looks so amazing in the blacks and greys, with pops of color Vincent!

[@les.garcons]

Thank you!

[@kenwood9490]

Love that Infinity scarf! Great design, Vincent.

[@les.garcons]

Thank you!

[@susanbruty4727]

Fabulous. The fun is never ending .... x

[@les.garcons]

We try!

[@knitrinka9493]

So many good things! I have to agree with Max that toe up is the correct way to knit a sock.

[@les.garcons]

I'll have to disagree 😉 - Vincent

[@teeflemming9893]

Great episode. I’ve always been determined to try brioche but keep putting it off, you’ve inspired me to try the Harlow worsted as a first brioche project.

[@les.garcons]

Go for it! The quadruple decrease can be a little daunting, but Andrea has fabulous video tutorials

[@teeflemming9893]

@@les.garcons I bought her Harlow worsted hat and although I did manage to finished it, those decreases nearly did me in. Humbling to say the least. It’s a long time since I struggled as much with knitting. Going to dive back in and do another one because the knitting must not win!

[@karensmith2204]

You guys are so cute. Tha k you for being an inspiration

[@les.garcons]

We're blushing!

[@missnicolette33]

Merci! C’était très intéressant. ❤️

[@les.garcons]

🤗

[@janeevans7495]

Wonderful program! Love seeing you two boyz! Max, I see your ring! Yay! But, Vincent, where is yours? Just want to ask for more Needlepoint canvases! I finished my Mysterious Forest canvas...made a pillow! So daring with the pins added to it in rose gold...Oh la la! C'est Magnifique!

[@les.garcons]

My ring is back with the jeweller. It has been an adventure. Maybe we'll talk about it in the next episode!

[@jacquelinepirotta]

I'm totally with you - can't wait for 22 to be over.

[@les.garcons]

Soon!

[@juliacardiff3339]

😉😉 I like the very end... beat that Ray 😉 ...amazing projects, as always. 💜

[@les.garcons]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@mimivivi7911]

That green color: I love it ! 😍😍

[@les.garcons]

It's the Priestess colourway

[@catherinelemay9892]

Maxime, ton châle en spincycle ça ferait une superbe couverture! Je pense que de pas faire la bordure et après faire un decrease.... Une couverture de fou! Je pense l'essayer quand le patron va sortir! Magnifique!

[@les.garcons]

On adore l'idée!

[@Brandon_501]

Would the whispers sweater be a good pattern to do as my very first sweater? Or do you think it is better as a second or third sweater to make after knitting a very simple one?

[@wesleyluvsoktoberfest]

Congratulations Max on your good news. The pandemic will be over sooner than later. It could be worse…you could be in my shoes. Before the pandemic started I was already isolated due to cancer, radiation, chemo and surgery. After all that and 2 years later I’m now cancer free but still adjusting to my post operation system. Everyday is a new day. Mean people suck but at least no one was at the studio during the robbery and you are all safe. The new color ways are beautiful. Now back to your podcast and then to the store for some of that beautiful yarn. 🧶☮️🌈🥂

[@les.garcons]

Congratulations on beating cancer! Stay safe.

[@dexterlockhart425]

OK the weather is not that bad, 2~3 months of summer 25+ Celsius here in Saskatchewan with @6 weeks Fall

[@les.garcons]

Summer always feels so short!

[@Angela-gr4vi]

Might finally be a brioche i can do that won’t be too hot. Only reason i have not been interested in trying because its too warm here for all that extra 🤣

[@les.garcons]

We need to find you a light and breezy brioche project!

[@JamieKhau]

watched to the end; worth it

[@les.garcons]

😂

[@CinSpain]

Your esthetics are impeccable ❤ I always wish I could do greys and blacks, when I watch your items...

[@les.garcons]

You probably can pull off colours that we can't!

[@CinSpain]

@@les.garcons Your colours are so classy and timeless... mine looks like a hippie got lost in a 60es paint factory 🤭

[@mendezcher]

Your designs are so unique and in tricate and look (in a positive way) NOT hand knit! And yes, soooo “cohesive” (thanks Project Runway for teaching us how important that is. 😆

[@les.garcons]

We're obsessed with that show! It thought us so many things about design, even though it's not sewing

[@mendezcher]

@@les.garcons Then you must know about “Making the Cut” and “Next in Fashion”? Along the same lines so great to watch!!

[@lightningonrav1117]

A lot of pretties this episode! How do you like the DPNs? They are my favorite way to knit socks! Something to do with the fact that my English mother taught me how to knit socks and taught me on double point needles? I’m a top down, heel flap kind of gal 😄

[@les.garcons]

It was a nice change of pace. I have a sock on shorter circular as well - Vincent

[@stephanieangers9702]

Félicitations à Maxime!!!

[@les.garcons]

Merci!

[@lindapollaerts5168]

All your makes are gorgeous

[@marycarrion6526]

I used to panic if I bought a yarn with no plan, just because it was so beautiful. Now they sit in a handmade bowl on my table until used:)

[@les.garcons]

Love that!

[@clairenason4869]

I agree toe up is the best way to knit socks. But no afterthought heels for me. Thank you

[@les.garcons]

Happy knitting, Claire!

[@jeannestorm4679]

What is the yarn for Max's sweater you're wearing?

[@les.garcons]

It's knitted using the Maera base from Olann and the Veranita base from Qing Fibre

[@candeeharris7509]

❤️😂 four six inch needles 😂❤️

[@les.garcons]

I actually had five of them 😁

[@maggie2sticks717]

Hey there! Faithful watcher of y'all. I think you're hilarious. In light of the cancel culture in the so called knitting community, I have to say I am really disappointed that Max bowed to the work mob! You really should have stood up for Vincent in every way possible. He is not a child that you stick in the corner. He's a grown man. It seems weird that you would chose the Grocery Girls over your own loved one! He did nothing wrong. He critiqued a sock pattern but the work mob acts like he raped someone. Be a man. Don't apologize to anyone except your husband.

[@TheRomy22ify]

I have to agree! I‘ve never been so annoyed about this cancel culture in my life as I was in this case! I am shocked! If someone can‘t hear criticism, he/she is out of place! You certainly had to take criticism, that‘s normal! Since I got cancer, knitting has been my only comfort and your designs and coloring are wonderful! Before I saw you I thought most of it was pretty bad and old-fashioned🤢 Vincent is overworked, it showes, but that‘s no reason to drop him!! This hypocrisy that everyone always has to be „so nice“ to each other gets on my last nerve! Stick together, I can only advise you, you complement each other too well! Vincent-get well soon and don‘t let your mouth ban you, you‘re the rocker among the Knitters!

[@vindeljay]

So funny, it's already a shit show.

[@les.garcons]

Let's hope it gets better 😉
