[@laurapengra8849]

Yay! I’m a MDK Society member too! Love watching you guys! Thanks for all of the great content!

[@CarolWood-o6e]

I'm so glad I found your podcast. I live in the same area and frequent the same LYS's.

[@susant2409]

I love my Garden cardigan!! I made it in Holstgarn Coast held double. Perfect weight and beautiful cardigan.

[@laurenarcher8677]

Kim - thank you for showing how you fixed the neckline of your Classic sweater. I had the same issue with my Turtle Dove and wasn't wearing it as I didn't like how it "bumped" at the front. Tonight I threaded the sewing elastic at the top and base of the collar and it looks soooo much better! I definitely will start wearing it. Thank you!

[@sharonatwipperwillie5633]

Kim, I knit with turtlepurl for fingeringless mitts, once you wash the yarn it blooms and is very soft.

[@barbararoberts9315]

I love that the Knitting Posse will be in Nashville! It will be my first yarn fest. I lived in Nashville for 25 years and worked as an RN at Vanderbilt. We lived off of West End and the place we loved so much was Centennial Park with its Parthenon (the statue of Athena is breathtaking!). Have a great time and I am looking forward to seeing you all!

[@dianam4778]

Kate, with my last socks from a tube, for the ribbing I tried something new. Instead of unraveling to reknit the cuff, I dropped every other stitch and picked them back up as purls with a crochet hook. It might not have been any faster but it was fun, and much tighter ribbing than I knit.

[@knittingpossect]

Interesting technique! I'd need bright sunlight and a magnifier to try that!! 😂

[@Proudmom9091]

Yall keep me smiling the whole time. I would be crying of laughter except my hubby is a sleep while I’m here watching

[@Drjoyce3860]

I was happy to run into you!! I’ve gone to VKL NYC at least seven times. And I agree with your assessment. The price for vendors is outrageous and even the packages of classes and lectures has continued to rise. I remember getting the VIP package which included the gala dinner for $700; this year it was $1100 and I said no way.

[@caseywagner9484]

So glad you're going to Nash Yarn Fest! Yay!!! I'll be watching for the Posse 😊

[@Creative_Yarnoholic]

I died laughing at your intro! 🤣 We live about 30 minutes east of Nashville. I would suggest eating in the Gulch area of downtown. The Chef and I has great food. Before or after eating you can get your picture taken in front of the famous “wings” painted on the wall. I won’t be attending the event but I’d love to meet up with you crazy ladies!

[@knittingpossect]

Thanks for the recommendations!

[@Sototallytealia]

I just ran so fast to buy a ticket to see you all while you are in Nashville. I will be driving down from Louisville. Hope I can run into you all!

[@knittingpossect]

See you in TN!

[@YarnStorieswithOlivia]

I came away with same feeling from VKL, marketplace experience 🫤 class 👍👍👍 not buying yarn 🙌 seeing friends for a photo op for my time capsule 🤓😁 thank you friends for the company this afternoon.

[@sueclark7758]

Nashville tip if you are going to see live music: Bring smallish bills for the tip jar, unless you want to drop a 20 at each place. It was helpful to us to have a stash of 5s and 10s :) Tip jars for the musicians everywhere!

[@KathyLandry-o8i]

Great episode as usual, love, love everything!!!❤ You three are so fun and make me laugh out loud 😂 Beautiful knits, tips, and tricks. Thank you and Happy Knitting, Kathy from Massachusetts

[@lauriejarboe6087]

Laura, the graph paper tic sheet is genius!! You should channel your inner Romy and Michelle, "I'm the Mary" moment and invent a post it note version of this for knitters!!

[@10ssarah-mw1fw]

Too late, it’s already available on Amazon. Kinda pricey but it is super sticky and if you hide it from the rest of your family a pad lasts for ever!

[@knittingpossect]

I love graph paper and I can customize my "charts" for whatever I am knitting! Works like a charm for me (Laura)

[@duk-soonolivieri9805]

I am so exited!!! I will be there as well

[@justbewvl7280]

Another great podcast ladies. So glad you are going to MDK Nashville. Me too! I also bought some Wooloomooloo shoes. I tried them on at Rhinebeck in 2023. I couldn't make up my mind and left without them. What?! Once I got home I knew I needed them and purchased. I walked all around France in them. Super comfy. Love them.

[@amybeausoleil1361]

Love and enjoy watching your podcast. Just a FYI I two projects using the trench coat yarn, loved the crisp lines. Do be careful when wash my black ran into the light color and made it muddy looking.😔

[@maxinebleiweis2110]

Nice to meet you in person at VKL! In Nashville, check out the Loveless Cafe for a big breakfast. Superb biscuits and peach preserves.

[@knittingpossect]

Sounds yummy!!

[@constancemcconnell2128]

You three are warm and wonderful! Laura, I just knit a Grist sweater (large size for a guy) and you're right, the pattern is carefully written and has lots of the kinds of subtle details that you appreciate. And, Kim, I knit a Garden cardigan last spring and it falls so beautifully it is easy to fasten with a Jewel closure if you want that coziness. Have fun in Nashville.

[@lisanakao1043]

Fun episode with beautiful knits. Wishing you and your loved ones a Happy New Year. Looking forward to the next episode.

[@kathylagreca9893]

Love all your makes this episode. Thank you for the tips and tricks!

[@katiecoughlin5179]

I will be at Nashville's Yarn Fest. I can't wait to meet you all! The Gulch is a great section of Nashville with nice shops and restaurants. We enjoy Love Biscuits for breakfast over there. Avoid Broadway since it is the most Nashvegas place to be. But I hope you all have a great trip.

[@cwanlin128]

You ladies are so funny!! I love following along with you and your adventures!!

[@aleiscessna5331]

Lots of links to look at! I just finished a garden cardigan in Rowan felted tweed. Love it. You three are so fun to watch, thanks❤️

[@ronniecitron-fink4078]

Always enjoy your podcasts. Thanks for all the inspiration!

[@catstricklin]

Ahhh I’m so glad you all will be at Nashville! Cesium will be there too, we have a charcuterie conveyor belt place we love and will be going after vending one day!

[@sallyharmych9820]

So excited you will be at NashYarnfest. I will be there too with my daughter who lives in Nashville. The Moxy where you are staying is a great place to stay. You will be just down the block from a fabulous place for breakfast called Pancake Pantry. They have a delicious cinnamon cream syrup that is to die for! Hope to see you there!

[@knittingpossect]

Pancake Pantry here we come! 🤣

[@cindymiers9029]

I have a Felix out of Woolfolk Shelter and it’s so light and cozy but looks wooly. ALSO think about the Eva cardigan by PK. It has enough positive ease to wear closed and loose.

[@annephillips3655]

When you mentioned future grandchildren, I remembered that one of you gave me the idea to make Micah’s Raglan Pullover for each of my three grandsons. Thank you,since I loved the pattern and the boys love their sweaters!

[@knittingpossect]

It's a great pattern. Glad you enjoyed it (Laura)

[@debcigna6732]

Saw you from a distance at VKL sad that it's gone down very sparse loved my class and lecture though and seeing some familiar KZbin faces . Met up with an old friend which was the best part . Don't think I'll be travelling up from Virginia again for vkl next year

[@rosemaryc9093]

Thanks for bringing smiles! Garden cardigan is great. I’ve made one in fingering and mohair and am planning to make one just in a dk so it will be lighter.

[@janefletcher7214]

I’m looking forward to going to Nashville also! Hope to see you all there.

[@mongrain8934]

Fun and inspiring episode, again ! ❤❤❤

[@nicolelafontaine1720]

Kim, thank you so much for shwoing your elastics in the neck of your Classic sweater, I always hesitated to knit it because of the puckering under the neck, did you add short rows also ? Thanks for all the great links 😉

[@gailkorhonen8553]

Have fun in Nashville. See if you can get into the Bluebird Cafe! Love the links❤

[@mYakTibetanFibers]

Catching up with your podcasts while home sick ! You are always so much fun! Missed seeing you last week (or was it 2 weeks now?)

[@knittingpossect]

Feel better! We missed seeing you as well.

[@rosemaryc9093]

Patty Lyons is a great teacher.

[@Patriciacoutain]

Going to ALL the links!!!! Thank you.

[@Miffy_creates]

Thought you might be interested in a bit of Australian history…the shoes are named after a inner Sydney harbour suburb called Wooloomooloo (pronounced wu-luh-muh-loo) its great feature apart from being by the harbour is that it has these old huge piers which have now been restored & updated to house restaurants & a hotel etc but in the 1920’s they became one of the major wool dispatch points, the site of Sydney's only wool dumps (where wool bales are compressed by hydraulic plugs). Just thought you’d be interested..HNY

[@knittingpossect]

Thanks that is interesting! (I wonder if the sneaker guys that sold me the shoes know this! 😂)

[@MariCooke-p5y]

I love my Garden Cardigan. Dina and Pam used Rowan Felted Tweed for theirs. I knit mine through a class with them.

[@beckywhitt7356]

Yay. I’m going to Nashville. Hope I see you.

[@Thomas_mic]

Laura, you sold me on that vest!❤

[@knittingpossect]

So glad to hear it! It's really good and a quick knit! I highly recommend the specified yarn too...

[@marybarker4646]

I get to Nashville regularly and love Haus of Yarn, Hattie B’s Hot chicken, and E3chophouse - best charcuterie I’ve ever had!!

[@knittingpossect]

Ooh, I love a good charcuterie!! (Laura)

[@gaychil930]

Hello Kim I couldn’t catch the name of the online class you did about starting and finishing? Really enjoy your podcast. Thank you.

[@knittingpossect]

It was called Beginnings and Endings with Patty Lyons. It was a zoom class through Modern Daily Knitting.

[@anitamadtes877]

Love you guys! The name Cesium is pronounced Seiz-e-um (like you seize something).😊

[@ImCFoxx]

Hey people, let’s get those subscription numbers up. This is such a fun podcast. I hate to miss it. These women laugh and giggle and cackle at each other incessantly. They’re all three great knitters and give some good tips and suggestions for books,yarn& patterns. They knit😂 some great sweaters and accessories. They’re so much fun and support the knitting community. Subscribe! thumbs up! come on people.

[@knittingpossect]

Thank you for the kind words and for supporting our channel!💕

[@marinawelch3964]

They are all those good things and then the comment about craft fair. Yes, absolutely sounded snobby and I'm so disappointed.

[@ImCFoxx]

@@marinawelch3964 honest opinions are hard to come by on many knitting/craft podcast. Going to a craft fair from hours away is expensive and if there are vendors for what reason we do not know, maybe exploring the reasons for its lack of participation should be looked at by the organizers. Just the point it did sound a little snarky, but I appreciate honesty and I trust these women’s opinion.

[@marinawelch3964]

@ I agree and every podcaster I watch that attended VKL was less than satisfied with the event but none made it sound like they are “too good” for the vendors who were there. Let’s just be kind in all ways. She wouldn’t have said “Did that sound snobby” if she didn’t know that.

[@beanaasz4069]

I am so excited that you are going to Nash Yarn Fest. I live about an hour south (mostly) of Nashville. I hope to see you there and get up enough nerve to talk to you. I've watched you for some time now so feel I know you, but realize you don't know me at all.

[@knittingpossect]

Please, please, please come say hello to us!!

[@thaliahinton4241]

if you have the time book a trolley tour to see downtown Nashville.

[@kathybalcom5097]

Country Music Hall of Fame, don't miss it!

[@knittingpossect]

Great idea!

[@kathybalcom5097]

@ we are marginal country music fans, but the exhibits made us realize we knew more artists than we thought. The history and costumes were really great!

[@3Donna1953]

hi kim . where did you get your big zippered floral bag. i want one. i love watching all of you. all are so happy

[@knittingpossect]

Hi! Its from Tannei Casey Handmaid. The link should be in the show notes but if you type that in I think that should get you there. Her bags are awesome!! Kim

[@leslieazucker5262]

It’s so close to all the fall activities and who wants to come to new york in the winter? Hotels and food are pricey also..

[@rhondacutler3831]

pronounced as Wool-a-ma-loo, accent on the 'ma', an area of Sydney near the central business district. An aboriginal name in origin.

[@reginaseeger6672]

What is the name of the MDK “club” that you were talking about? Is it a subscription? Thank you. Ps: now I want to go to Nashville! ❤

[@knittingpossect]

Yes, it is a subscription called MDK Society. www.moderndailyknitting.com/ Come to Nashville!! Kim :)

[@reginaseeger6672]

@thank you for replying. Will be able to find it now. Always love your podcasts. You’re a great group of ladies.

[@sisterstephanie2557]

Pssst ... City Lights Hat link doesn't work.

[@knittingpossect]

City Lights hat pattern has to be purchased through The Knitting Place. So worth it! enjoy and thank you for watching.

[@tracygreenwood3359]

Haus of yarn And Bliss yarn Must stops

[@knittingpossect]

Thank you soooo much. We can't wait.

[@catstricklin]

Ahhh I’m so glad you all will be at Nashville! Cesium will be there too, we have a charcuterie conveyor belt place we love and will be going after vending one day!
