Jax & Rose coffee date

[@katherine8105]

I love your insights and encouragement to be courageous in our creativity. I’ve only been knitting for 2 years and have clung to patterns as gospel but you are inspiring me to try new things, start over, and make adjustments based on my own judgement. I’m learning to enjoy the process not the product alone.

[@jdominirose]

Wonderful!

[@sd26362]

Thank you for sharing your inner thoughts about creating with us. Knitting (for me loom knitting) gives us the opportunity to create beautiful objects which reflect our own aesthetic. We have the freedom to adapt patterns and make them our own by choosing colors and stitches which reflect our own unique style and to have fun as we create. I very much enjoy hearing about your ideas and seeing your beautiful creations and look forward to the next episode.

[@sophiemcbride5212]

Thank you , I love spending time with you. It is so nice to see your Mom and Lily. May you and your family and your channel go from strength to strength ❤

[@tacistudio]

You are so fabulous and talented Ted and I’m so glad you decided to have this channel and I can’t wait to share more great moments with you. 🧡

[@jdominirose]

I love Ted too 😉 Glad you’re enjoying, glad you’re here. I look forward to the ongoing conversation. ❤️

[@tacistudio]

@@jdominirose ha ha so embarrassed. I do that a lot when I comment late at night 😂🤭

[@Judithgoulding9999]

Lovely to spend time with you - I really appreciate how you embrace that knitting is, or should be, for our own benefit and pleasure - not just making because a crowd is making that same thing, but making because the item really speaks to us personally, as far as fit and styling goes... it's so easy to just go with the next new shiny thing, but having your sense of intention really makes the items seem so much more special. Thank you for this! Cheers, Judith 💜

[@jdominirose]

Thank you Judith. 🥰

[@opencirclestitches]

that purple sweater is incredible!

[@lindadavid1669]

Having watched each of the episodes of your new podcast, it occurred to me watching this one today, that it is your grace that sets you and you “content” (apologies for using that word, but I feel it applies here), apart. Whether you are speaking about colour, knitting, reading a beautiful and meaningful poem, or sharing stories about Phillip and Joan, you have a gracefulness; a measured way of speaking that I hear with my heart. I lean in. I want to hear more. Please. And thank you.

[@jdominirose]

I just read your comment to boat house Heron. ❤️ Thank you. 🥰

[@Meredith36]

Your philosophy is so soothing, and so is your way of conveying it. Your knits are stunning! Happy knitting 💚🧶💚

[@jdominirose]

happy knitting to you too!

[@patriciabuuck5277]

This is a lovely episode, you sharing your thoughts and insights on creativity and listening to your own inner voice. Thank you for sharing😍

[@karinajackson2779]

Thank you so much for sharing yourself with us. We are so transient now and rarely even know who our neighbors are. And to be able to get to know someone who is almost across the country from me is a gift. So thank you … and enjoying the project sharing and inspirations as well.

[@joyceivan530]

Doesn’t disappoint at all! I love the grey denim and soft orange for the soho square. Beautiful!

[@floratrs]

thank you for sharing with us your thoughts, your projects. Love your colours, your patient.. your projects are an example for me. Love from Italy

[@pegburke4117]

Your knitted garments are masterpieces!

[@jdominirose]

Thank you!

[@carlamelton665]

I love to hear about your decision process with colour and wearability! Wow! So great also to get to see your Summer combos as I am a Summer also. So often I see fantastic garments on podcasts but worked within warm colour palettees. I look forward to hearing more about your colour choices and thoughts about wearability.

[@edytheneumann4656]

So generous of you to share your time and thoughts with us - thank you Jackie. I'd love to join you for the color workshop coming up - I think it'll be a wonderful experience for those present to learn and explore how to interact better with colour. I also appreciate your musings about sometimes allowing "imperfect" color choices into our colour landscapes - just because. It helps just to recognize and understand why certain articles of clothing become more beloved to us than others!

[@mirosderegil]

Love every video you make! Always a real treat to hear your thoughts, and see the beautiful projects you're working on! Thanks again for sharing, Jackie! ❤

[@anigozan3785]

I just love the time spent with you on these thoughtful and insightful videos. Thank you so much for being so authentic and lovely. Jen xx

[@keikoparker4532]

Thank you for sharing your colour and creative journey. I am also working on creating items that fit into my wardrobe and are more classic. I struggle with wanting to make beautiful, exciting items because that’s what I excites but they don’t really fit into my wardrobe. I appreciate being able to follow along with your journey as it helps me consider different ideas and ways of looking at creating my wardrobe.❤❤❤

[@deirdreschlosser2345]

Thank you, Jackie, for taking time out for your busy life to check in with us. I’ve been saving this coffee date for some Saturday night frogging. I had a big smile on my face when you were talking about your sons’ hi jinx when they were younger. It brought back fond memories of that stage in raising my son. I’d like to cast a vote for the bright pink and yellow colors as additions to your Soho Square - signature Jackie! P.S. you were glowing today and your make-up was especially flattering (House of Colour?).

[@jackiekeala]

Adore this format of having a coffee with you, and the unplanned synchronicity of twigging together. Much to reflect upon here on colour and knitting for the wow, most of all. re-inspired even more to listen to and trust that little voice inside. Have an amazing time on retreat - May you receive as much as you are sharing.

[@jdominirose]

twigging together-I love that. 🩶

[@movingstitches]

this has been the most inspiring, soothing and insightful knitting content I have seen in a while. Thank you for being brave to put something different and your honest self out here. PS: my inner voice is quite a harsh critic one , and I am trying to indulge her only every now and then. If I feed her often, she becomes a black hole of negativity, but if I try to ignore her, it is like the monster under the bed, and I don´t want to keep any hidden creatures down there. I think I am going to call mine Rachel ( so many times people confuse my actual name, Rebeca, with Rachel, it became a joke over time). Rachel was right when she said that one sleeve from one of my handknits needs redone. Even if that means it is going to take extra time to finish the garment. However, if she starts getting too perfectionist or productive driven, I have to step in and remind her this craft , to me is my playground, and I just want to play, be free and for just a little bit not take myself too seriously. Sorry for my long ramble comment, but lately I have been thinking about how I want to present myself in my own channel and you have inspired me with your authenticity. Thank you, gracias!

[@susancormack2618]

Yes, that inner voice that for some reason is critical and judgmental. I love listening to the colour choices and the decision making that goes into the final choices. Such a joy to listen and learn, thank you Jackie.

[@FluffyRainbowsRX]

Hello there fellow Yarnisan. As a fairly longtime devour of your work, I love the dark blue linen quill on you. What happens if that would be your 4th colour for the wrap and you and your face is what makes an impact instead of the garment and it would be knitting into your wardrobe. Good luck with your choices and may the odds ever be in your favour.

[@Susi1406]

As always it’s wonderful to sit and knit with you. I can’t wait see how everything wraps up. :)❤❤❤. I love the idea of using the kiln red. I can’t wait to see what you do. :)

[@CreativityWithStamps]

Thank you for sharing these insights with the world. I am taking your class and this is my very first class with you and I am loving it so much. I am definitely doing the Snow Crocus as a progress knit and taking it as a learning project. It has been so inspiring to see your versions and thought process for this garment as well as the garments from the other members of the class. I will probably knit another version of this sweater again with my Nutiden yarn and I will do it with a foldover neckline but for now, I am knitting it with mohair/dk combo.

[@jdominirose]

I’m so glad to hear it! 🥰

[@biljap.r.6626]

Picking colors for our wardrobe is about : energy we need throughout the day !✨ "Elegant" is more a fashion statement it refers to colors in harmony

[@nancycox6548]

Loved having coffee with you this morning! My day always starts with coffee and knitting 🧶 so let’s do it again! ❤

[@dianaclara9065]

your videos are so refreshing. Thank you for being you 💛

[@sallyplatts4110]

Love love love your podcast ..would love to see those colour collections. I was toldim a winter but I really struggle with that palette xx

[@jdominirose]

I’m less following rules, and more exploring these parameters as a thought experiment - while it serves me. Wouldn’t it be TERRIBLE if we called them color diets?! 😱 Anyway, I tell myself I can still knit with ANY color, I’m just mindful of the proportions now. The biggest shift is letting me and my other clothes play a bigger role in my choices than all the vociferous marketing. I have my doubts, but I’m just playing along, staying curious, but it’s definitely a shift, and with all change there’s an element of discomfort. All this to say, I want my choices to energize me, but that can be a long game in the beginning. Let yourself be off balance, let yourself play, and somewhere along the way, there will be moments of click, snaps of insight, and delights we did not expect. 🥰

[@aeastman59]

you always give us a new thought to ponder which I enjoy! thank you for the podcast today!

[@everystitchaprayer6268]

Love it all❤ Thank you for another wonderful start to my day!

[@mariajerinic5081]

What are you reading Jackie? I am sure I am not the only one who wants to hear about that. I am preparing to knit the Soho Square. I have the pattern and the yarn! (Thank you for the design.) I just want to finish my Wooly Thistle Vanilla sweater (which I cast on in August with their KAL)! Looking forward to the Soho and your next podcast.

[@maxinemyer5174]

I really can relate with your stories about your boys, I have 2 grown up boys too. You’re really a wonderful speaker and yarn teacher. What about that new blue you showed with the celery colour. I feel like I can rewatch this many times over, thank you

[@eleanorkitt1608]

I think the Magnolia Blossom would pop with the greyed denim and your two main colours. As a Summer, I would be very tempted by these. So interesting hearing your thought process for these projects.💖

[@jdominirose]

I’m trying to share the process: uncertainty is a necessary element. I knit into the answer. I love the process of discovery. I’ve found some viewers think there are people who are good with color like it’s a fixed trait. Color is a language. We practice, play, make mistakes. The “right answer” I’m curious to live into, is what I grab to wear. 🥰

[@saramerrick3539]

Thanks for adding inspiration to my inner dialogue!

[@verversa]

I love your color direction for the soho squares. Here's an idea: your color sense is so incredible that as a future opportunity...what about a group through patreon where people meet through zoom or other videos to discuss expression through color? Whether you know your color season or not, just exploring what colors may sing together. I would sign up. I get intimidated by color and would love to gain insights and ideas for combining color...whether it be with the linen quill palette or the lamb and kid palette or whatever. "Painting with yarn" essentially. ❤

[@jdominirose]

Hmm… 🥰

[@bettieshea278]

You always make me think. Thank you.

[@aggierowe9574]

Thanks for sharing your insights even if you find yourself rambling LOL! Not many can get away with that on YT, and as a fellow artist/knitter I find your thoughts to be very valuable and entertaining (the Joan, Mrs Rose anecdotes for example.) I am paring down the amount of videos I am willing to dedicate my time to because I find many “knitfluencers” to be too inexperienced for my current needs. I appreciate your sharing your knits and creative practice with us :)

[@jdominirose]

There’s something for everyone on KZbin, eh. 🥰 Glad this offering serves you.

[@ImCFoxx]

I guess I prefer a little brighter. & higher saturation, like ‘mountain bluebird’ instead of the gray denim with the kiln red. Gives a little more contrast. Esp next to cream. The gray denim is so drab, yet beautiful in its own right. I’m sure whatever you choose will be lovely.

[@jdominirose]

Color: our favorite topic! ❤

[@jamiethrogmorton2540]

Midori He-row-say. Your knitting and your sharings are all intriguing. 🎉

[@jdominirose]

thx 😉

[@elainekidd5442]

I love sitting knitting and listening to you….. I am trying to tame my inner voice 😂 I think she’s beginning to agree with me more now 😂

[@OllieandMay]

What a Lovely Coffee Date. ☕️🍰 I had a little Chuckle when you were talking about your boys when they were little , especially in the car, I think we Mothers can’t totally relate to that! 😂 Your Crocus is Beautiful, when our weather starts to cool down here in OZ 🇦🇺 it will be on my needles, I have some beautiful Drops Lima brought back from the UK in a Teal would be so nice for that I think? It’s always lovely listening to your thoughts and how you process them. Take Care x❤

[@jdominirose]

How can you go wrong? Snow Crocus is such a lovely pattern to show off a color you adore. 🥰

[@knotanitter]

Just wondering if you’ve read Rachel Cusk - Arlington Park? Your observations are very astute.

[@jdominirose]

No-I don’t know this work…

[@magdalacasey2540]

I’m a summer, too, but a soft summer, and I am trying to decide between the Kiln Red, the Chestnut Red and the Dark Iris. Would any of these work for me? The Gray Denim looks a lot different in person, now I’m thinking it would work for me. Thank you for showing it! I just finished a Wink in all pink shades and Rose Granite, which I fell in love with while I was working with it. Now I know what to do with my Pale Oats!

[@jdominirose]

Rilke says, live the questions. I love that for all of us as we explore color together. 🥰

[@magdalacasey2540]

@@jdominirose Uncertainty IS a good place to linger in because that is where one can discover new possibilities. I discovered the color Jasper in Holst Supersoft by asking a question and found a new color to wear. Thank you for NOT giving me a quick answer, but encouraging me to continue my color journey of exploration!

I’m so happy that you like Fernando Pessoa. He is wonderful and I love reading his books. I want to take your class but I was so sick and wasn’t able to. Can I still join it and can I watch the class I missed ? You are so fabulous and I am sure your classes will be amazing g. Plus, I absolutely looove the Snow Crocus sweater. 💜🤍
