[@LeslieFriend]

Love catching up with you! 💜 You truly make me giggle! Congrats on your new project! How about hosting a knitting retreat! 😍 Congrats to those fabulous winners! Summer of Stripes forever! 🤩

[@lisamiller1804]

Your mountain mist is GORGEOUS!!! Those colors are perfection... 😍😍😍

[@janetgoier23]

OMG, this reminded me that "we've only just begun" was the song I chose for my wedding in 1973. 😱 I did get married as a teenager, but yes, 49 years ago. Loved their stuff. Am knitting Tif Nielan's Sun and Soul Wrap as I watch you. Yes, PLEASE do a thing at Rhinebeck where you get people to show their sweater! I went for the first and only time in 2019 and it was one of the best trips of my life. Don't know when/if I will ever get there again, as I live in the Chicago area and it's a hike. However, my baby boy (who turns 27 at the end of the month) is moving to NYC September 1st, so maybe next year I can combine a visit to see him and Rhinebeck, too! 😜 I love your episodes. Always. ❣️Have fun with the new house!

[@professorpurl]

Those are incredible prizes! also, I LOVED your sweater with the folded down colors and stripes (even with the bright pink).

[@RemerYT]

Yes, please do a Rhinebeck sweater review!! Need Rhinebeck content since no way will I ever be able to attend-getting there, lodging, all big barriers. I’m crocheting the Mosaic Sweater from Nomad Stitches-scrappy so verrry colorful!!

[@CarinaB26]

Oh my goodness!! Thank you thank you!!!!! Made my day right there - love your yarn and LOVE daffodils.

[@redredwine1277]

I enjoyed watching, very entertaining. THANK YOU 🌷 👌🏽

[@larajean1]

Love your stripes sweater with the bright pink! Planning to do that one in the same colors... Currently knitting "Into the Wild". For Rhinebeck...my friends and I are knitting the Misurina and Wavy Gravy... Might also do one called "Love in the Mist" and/or "Night Blooms".

[@shetlandlace]

Congratulations to the winners! Such beautiful yarns and knitting. I have been knitting socks, socks and more socks. I also had a special request for a dozen handknit faces cloths, and until it cools down here, I put the Aran cardigan on hold. Have some hats planned, also.

[@aknitlife]

Congratulations on your new house! Love your WIPs, they are beautiful! I am knitting baby sweaters, overalls for my first grand baby due at the end of the year. A few of the finished items had stripes, so I entered it in your KAL! Thanks for the KAL and the lovely prizes. Have a wonderful rest of summer! ❤️👍

[@lorindasilveira9155]

Congrats on the house! Nice episode. Loved all your wips and cannot wait to see them when finished. It is very hot and humid where I live so working on a boring sock at the moment. Getting lots of things lined up for the cooler weather.

[@heylori824]

You got me into Assigned Pooling! Finishing a Roam.. subbing in the Cluster stitch. May just join in the StripesKAL yet…. LOVE your Holes sweater! Will you have more Camel Silk available soon?

[@knittylitter]

Great episode as always. Yes to a what are you wearing segment at Rhinebeck.

[@gratefulknitters8899]

Hi Beautiful! It's your wannabe neighbor in CA. I love all your sweaters, LOVE that green yarn in 1st sweater. I want a kit. I understand the hot flashes ..I'm right behind you. Fun episode!!

[@kimcrowson4339]

Always look forward to your podcast. You make me laugh out loud ! Thank you

[@sandranokes7443]

I'm knitting the Eyeblink shawl by Heidi Alander. I love all of your wips. I love to watch your podcasts and hear about your yarn and all the projects. Thank you for sharing everything with us.

[@OneofaKate]

Totally behind & didn’t realize this knitalong. And congrats on winning the house auction-super cool story

[@Yarnloveturtle]

Yay! Congratulations on your rental property and to me for the KAL prize! For RBK, I have one sleeve finished on a Saven and I’m planning an Easy V. I’ve also got a few shawls - a Kyler in progress and a Vertices Unite - Big Plans. I also love Somebody Feed Phil. He’s warm, funny, loaded (and yes, married😉)

[@gailwhite822]

I’m making Alpenglow for Rhinebeck & starting it today. It’s fun to meet on the hill & see all the different color combos. I think I’ll make the Look at my Holes sweater for my sister. You have inspired me! Love to hear what you are watching. Did you go see Where the Crawdads Sing? Loved it!

[@susiehanna8617]

I always love your podcast and the things you’re knitting on are awesome! I am almost done with my Sreamers sweater for the KAL and I’ll be posting soon.

[@lisamiller1804]

I'm stuck in TX until our son graduates HS... 5 more years of hard time until we can (hopefully) leave... I'm eyeing the Rochester, NY area but I'd die to live in VA!! It's so beautiful there... we've vacationed in Massanutten and we have family all up and down the east coast... don't even ask how we got stuck here after living in the Chicago area most of my life... :/... #sadness... I'm just going to knit all.the.things. that I'll only have a moment to wear here each year and save them for when we are TX expats lol

[@cathyakacrazyknittingnana]

Love your sweaters. I am knitting a commissioned sweater that has no pattern so I used another pattern for a guide on decreases and fit. Of course I have baby items to get made. I enjoy seeing you on here.

[@quil10it]

Hey….nice prizes! Thanks for sharing your knitting and your beautiful yarn.

[@HandmadebyLorelei]

I AM going to Rhinebeck. I just solidified my overnight stay yesterday. Currently I am knitting a lot of bags for some reason. The Bento Purse was super fun. I think I'm going to switch gears here- I was looking yesterday for a Rhinebeck sweater idea and I really like LETHO by Natasja Hornby. Oh btw we are watching and LOVING Somebody Feed Phil too. You nailed it when you said his positive energy is totally infectious. He always makes us laugh!

[@Hackyarnco]

I always enjoy your updates and really got the giggles today. “Yeah so I accidentally bought a house”. No Rhinebeck here, just Whinebeck. I’ll be finishing my Rose by Andrea Mowry and drinking mulled wine while watching everyone’s hauls.

[@tracycushman4836]

Congrats on the house! I’m crocheting a granny strip blanket with scraps does that count or is it just knitting for the strip along? I’m knitting a tank top. I frogged a tank top, a baby dress and my pressed flowers shawl 😩 trying to decide what to do next. My granny strip is my current fav. Thanks for sharing!

[@cynthiawatson4255]

I always look forward to your podcast. I liked all of the sweaters you are knitting. I started knitting Christmas Stockings by Ursula Almeida. I am also knitting sweaters and a vest. I purchased some of your yarn and it is so beautiful. Thanks for making me laugh.

[@elizabethkirtz7967]

I’m knitting Fjolla by Isabel Kraemer in lovely Myak Tibetan Cloud! Enjoying it! I just finished a cute cardigan for my new granddaughter, born 6 days ago! It’s called Norwegian Fir. Thanks for podcasting!

[@thecraftychemist]

I'm knitting the Mend shawl using your Camel Luxe - it really is so soft!

[@nanjayne7608]

The Benton Striped Boyfriend Sweater for Summer of Stripes KAL (one sleeve left to go) and the Medvind for AKC KAL 11(a slow knit for sure). Ordered your kit for Rai sweater (love love it) so either that is up next along with most likely the Easy V however now I love Andrea Mowry's new Rhineback pattern -so basically just need to stop getting sucked in -I have no will power to resist!! One of these days I'll get to Rhineback -definately on my bucket list. Love to see all of your wonderful knits and your red glasses are marvelous!!

[@candicedull6706]

I always look forward to your podcasts, love your sweaters (especially the Blue Ridge Mtn one). Congratulations on the house! On my needles: Broadleaf (brioche sweater) by Wool & Pine in Little Fox Yarns, it’s part of my LYS’s yearlong KAL; RIc Rac Shawl by Casapinka in Malabrigo Sock; Iced Gingerbread socks as part of The Great Woolberry Christmas KAL; and I knit a gnome every month for Imagined Landscapes A Year of Gnomes.

[@walterw9829]

Dumpling Worsted. Thank you for that laugh. I'm not knitting, it makes my hands hurt, so I'm taking a break. Need to get that book.....the one with hand stretches.

[@Lisamakes]

Ha ha, I make that Mom face, too, when the kids make noise. 😂

[@chickadeecorner]

I'm obsessing over that perfect palette pastel sweater. I've yet to feel confident enough to knit an item of clothing 🥴 I'm also obsessed with those glasses and that dress!

[@vickibyrd7559]

Knitting loads of socks for the Summer Sock Camp. I received my two skeins of The Special hot sock❣️❣️I’m thinking of doing Joji’s Speckled Shawl with a beautiful creamy color to really make the Special pop. Crazy about that yarn. Any suggestions about what to make other than socks? I haven’t purchased any Siri from you yet, but want to do so.

[@catherinenorman4024]

Please share what M1 type stitch you used for the perfect palette sweater. It’s so good!

[@ginasknitclub]

M1L and M1R! 😎😎💖

[@lisafarmer2302]

Love all of the sweaters! I think the idea of “what are you wearing?” Podcast at Rhineback Is a great idea! It would be a shame if that somehow wasn’t captured.

[@kathyn3875]

Knitting Jenn Steingass Gardengate in Purl Soho Linen Quill. Doing a short sleeve version in low contrast colors, which I am really liking. I empathize with your hot-flashes and menopause brain. Been there.

[@p_broom426]

Love all your sweaters. I got an email today, my rai rai sweater kit is on the way!

[@suebyrum3534]

There are four of us going to Rhinebeck and we are all knitting the Linnea Pullover from the Kristin Drysdale book The Nordic Knitting Primer.

[@Creative_Yarnoholic]

I’m knitting a Boardwalk Raglan by Donna Estin for me and a Flax Light by Tincanknits for my husband. His will be different because he designed the front. Can’t wait to see everyone, this will be my first year at Rhinebeck!

[@marybethkress4859]

I’m knitting my husband a Paul Klee sweater for Rhinebeck, his first Rhinebeck sweater. Then I will knit a Roots and Shoots sweater for myself using yarn I bought at Rhinebeck. PS. I was in line with you at last years Rhinebeck to get a coffee. You had absolutely no knitted anything on. I’m happy to see you might wear your knitted Tincan Knits thing!

[@anitabechtel5180]

Beautiful yarn give aways

[@christineferoli1750]

Always love your vlogs! So relaxing and calm! Watched that documentary! Omg! Disgusting and mind blowing! Freak!! Evil bastard! Love the guy who wrote everybody loves Raymond, his wife actually played Robert’s wife! Cute couple! Also Karen Carpenter my favorite female singer of all time! Love the idea of “mountain mist” for Rhinebeck! I already had it in my library! Thanks

[@christineferoli1750]

Congratulations on your house!

[@Sparkles4me]

Congrats on your new home for rent!!!

Working on Joji Locatelli’s Cedar Pullover for Rhinebeck

[@TrudySchwartzBurrill]

Hi Gina, I just started getting my yarn together to make “Looking at my Holes” too. I’m thought I’d use some deep stash. Trying to get that weened down, I have too much. What I wound up is a chained organic cotton, merino, linen and silk base. I thought it was DK but its fingering. I didn’t think of camel or alpaca because of stretching but actually cotton will stretch too. Any thoughts? Also Im looking at destash Inc a lot of my yarns. What do you suggest as a good way that gets peoples attention and where people have luck doing that. Any suggestions from anyone are VERY welcomed. Thanks so much. I really love your knitting. Its inspirational how much you accomplish. Two birds? I have one and she keeps me beyond busy. What kinds do you have? Have you posted pics of them anywhere? Ive been watching both you and Leslie for a long time. I was born in Pittsburgh lived there until I was 12. Grew up in Squirrel Hill. I wonder where Leslie lives? I should ask her. Anyway nice to see your updates. Gorgeous prize’s for the KAL.

[@knitsiphappy]

Lol! My next episode, that I just recorded, is also brought to you by hot flashes 🔥😁

[@ginasknitclub]

🥵🥵🥵

[@jillipepper5353]

Love the “Look at my holes “ sweater, it’s gorgeous and makes perfect sense to wear over a dress. What kind of birds? Are they noisy? 🤣😂🤣Wanton 😂🤣😂 women are not supposed to enjoy sex still? Wow. Just knitting a pre patterned sock because it’s hot and I can’t stand much wool near me. Hot flashes are even worse in hot weather but I’m not complaining because I whined about the cold for months during winter. 🥰🌞. Have fun with the new house and I sure hope you get great tenets 🤞🤞🤞. Congratulations to all the winners of the stripe Kal. Take care, stay safe and well. 🙋🏼‍♀️

[@friendshipjoy9841]

Hey there!!! 😄

[@knittingpossect]

Just catching up on podcasts... I love Somebody Feed Phil. I agree his happiness is contagious. I love his whole family. And that show about the British pedophile was insanely crazy!! Love Love Love your Mountain Mist!! I might need that kit. Too much knitting to do- so little time.. Take Care Kim

[@ginasknitclub]

[@happyhandsknittingpodcast]

Wanton, a woman who wants on?

[@goldwest53]

Why in the world wouldn’t Kristy be there?!? She has to be there, it won’t be the same if she’s not. No offense, but no one can take her place. I hope this isn’t true.

[@mdyph27]

Agreed. It is her thing.

[@sueemmons5658]

Omg, the Carpenter's! That brought me back to about '75ish when I was allowed to walk to Kmart and buy my first album! Wouldn't it be nice to go back and visit the '70's?

[@ginasknitclub]

Yes! I want to go back! 🥳😇
