I love you two…no apologies necessary. You are speaking the hard truth and we need to hear MORE from you.

[@jean-jn3nq]

Umm just so ya know. You are far more interesting than most other podcasts. I appreciate your genuineness and unfiltered approach to Yarny videos. ♥️

I really enjoy your podcasts and appreciate your honesty and not being afraid to share your faith. Thank you!

[@selfishknitter]

Loved the kvetching and philosophical/religious discussion, and the camera issues were not terrible. Hiring a housekeeping service was the best thing I’ve done for myself in a long time. I can clean, but I’m not great at it. The professionals leave my house literally sparkling and catch a lot of little details that I would overlook. I feel much lighter with so much taken of my to-do list.

[@Jess38]

I 100% needed to hear everything you ladies said today. Your channel is way more important than just knitting. Even though I love the knitting. Thank-you ❤

You ladies are very inspiring and real which I love, in a world consumed by appearances and hypocrisy, this is so fresh. Also the yarn is awesome 😊

I love Jesus and never going to apologize for it. I love you girls, don't change. Great decision to grow old gracefully! I'm 69 and decided my health is more important than my aged face and body. I still work with plastic surgeons and could have anything but choose not to. Gina, you are still so beautiful. I love your personality! Can't get that in the OR!

[@professorpurl]

Everything you were saying about loving who you are (how Jesus made you) is actually why I personally stopped dying my hair blonde in 2019. I've really embraced my natural hair color and little grey sparkles.

What I SO like about you Gina is your SO REAL and that's so refreshing in this world .🤩😘🥰😍

[@kcknitter1]

Get the sock machine! I’ve had Erlbacher Gearhart for many, many years. It’s wonderful. In the past I’ve done a ribbed sock, heels and toes. I missed the hand knitting portion, so now I do a tube and hand knit the rest. I love it! And you cannot have too many socks. Never.

[@ginasknitclub]

I want her to buy one but I may actually ALSO buy one tooooooo!!!! How many canisters do you have for different sizes? 😘🥰

[@catielong420]

Really!?!??! It's gonna happen soon. Gotta talk the husband into it. He's easy tho. 😂

[@carolyn_r]

I'm so glad I read this. I am thinking of getting a sock knitting machine to do the tubes and handknit the rest. I have no knowledge of any of the brands. I still have to research but you seem to love yours so that one check for Erlbacher Gearhart! ....It's either tube all the skeins of fingering weight or give it all away and I'd rather have the socks. I love my yarn!

[@kcknitter1]

@@ginasknitclubat one point I had the 72, 60 and 54. But I hardly ever used the 72 and 54 so I sold them and just kept the 60. Besides socks you can also make fingerless mitts and put in an afterthought thumb. I can personally vouch for Erlbacher’s customer service. It is second to no one. Since their inception I have probably owned 5 of them (I know it’s excessive). I sold all but one. She’s a beautiful pink. That’s another thing too. You can pick your color!

[@kcknitter1]

@@carolyn_rI promise you won’t regret it! Also fingerless mitts! Someone on Ravelry has come out with a pattern for them just recently. I’m going to start on it tomorrow. For many years I did the entire sock on the machine and there’s nothing wrong with that. I did have the rubber attachment. It’s like anything else it takes patience and practice. I could make a pair of socks in 2 hours.

[@BevPerreault]

You girls rock!!! It’s my first time seeing your podcast and the connection between you two is the bomb!! Love, love the yarn, your projects and your discussion about Jesus.

[@mariepeckenpaugh543]

Gina I love that you are so very you with all that comes with it. I enjoy too that you are now a duo. It is easier and and more engaging to talk to a person than just a camera. How are you doing with missing your son? I gave you a big promised hug at Cake Wool in October and you were still teary. It is hard. Keep being you sharing your life and faith and search of how to age well. Your yarn is always fabulous and so are you. I hope that you don’t get too much crap on here for faith discussions because those are the conversations that we all need to have. You are right so simple yet so hard. So many are off track and we all need to get back to the basics. Loving the Lord and each other. Sure wish I could have joined you both for blue tea and a great discussion. Keep knitting and smiling. ❤

[@pamelahall282]

Hi to you both, I like your video’s very funny at times,with what you come out with,i do love seeing your knitting,and also to see your beautiful yarns,Gina. I am a beginner knitter, just scarfs at the moment, but I am improving. I do a lot of art things so that’s my real passion. I also think you make a lot of sense when you start talking about things in general, like straight to the point, which is how I am ,I suppose. But I took a long time to realise that I could do that.I live in the opposite zone to you,so we are just coming into autumn,and all the leaves are falling,it’s nice to see you have a good friend in each other,I wish you both good times ahead,and keep well.

I will forever enjoy your podcast! I respect others opinions and have no problem agreeing to disagree on hot topic items. My own personal experience….I am in the process of deconstructing from Christianity. Much love to you two and keep on keeping on!

[@GATeacherfriend]

I spent my life in the Christian world and struggled the whole time with guilt and shame. I'm an out atheist now and more accepting of the imperfection of humanity. The only thing I miss is the community of friends I had as a church member. You guys aren't boring, and the knitting is good. I don't even mind your discussion of Christianity. I get it and have compassion for you. I think the most important value regarding coexisting in a multicultural society, is separation of church and state.

Thank you, another great podcast despite the snafu's in filming! I like you more and more each time I watch you for your honesty, your knowledge of knitting, yarns, patterns, and life in general. I would like to know a few things: first on the Veronica sweater what yarn and color did you use. What is the poncho pattern and how many sets of your mine's does it take to knit it, last what was the name of your indigo tea.

[@Rebelmusedesign]

I agree with you Gina that you really need to check things out before you take anything. I had this happen to me years ago when a nurse practitioner asked me what worked at a horrid time in my life …. neither she nor I researched long term issues so have been told in recent years that I have been on it for so long that it would be impossible to get away from it. At my age, it really doesn’t matter, but it does make me angry that she didn’t know what she was prescribing. And I was not in a place to even think about researching anything at that moment. I highly recommend the B a c h flower remedies instead.

[@barbarawilliamson9860]

Hello ladies, just finished watching this. Love it all! I wanted to address Katie regarding a sock machine. I have an Erlbacher Speedster, have had it 2 years now and I do love it. However, it is technical and it was a big learning curve for me. I am fortunate to live near a small group that meets monthly and met someone who has mentored me....and it took a while! Now I feel very proficient. I can make a sock, complete with a hung hem, a heel and a toe that needs to be kitchenered, all in less than one hour. That is not a tube where I have to add heel and toe later....it is complete! If Katie would like to communicate with me about this, I am happy to answer any questions. Also I do crank tubes for a yarn shop half an hour from my home (there are NO yarn shops in my town). Please keep podcasting....I look forward to seeing both of you again soon.

Genesis tells us that we did NOT come from apes. Adam and eve were created. When you study the way our bodies are designed it's incredible. There just isn't any way that happened from a big bang or from evolving from apes. Also, why are there still apes? Why didn't they evolve? It's preposterous. I love your podcast. You're so entertaining and I love that you're questioning things! Your yarn is gorgeous! And I love how generous you are with your friend! You give her so much yarn! What a great friend?!

Evolution is a theory. Only a theory. Not a fact. I believe in micro evolution and natural selection, but it’s too much of a leap that we evolved from apes.
