Needles at the Ready: Episode 109

[@marythomas5886]

Omg!! I was laughing so much when Ray was asking you if you were paying attention!!! I love you guys! Great projects!

[@DickGrayson-rq8xs]

Hello 👋 friend how are you doing today 😃 hope am not bothering you?

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

LOL 😂

[@sadieadie1587]

I needed emotional support from my emotional support chicken this week. My cat Norman ate some of the yarn from the chicken ( my fault for not securing it when I went out) and ended up with a $3000 vet bill for a bowel obstruction. Norman is fine and after I punched the chicken in it's little knitted face I hugged it when I realized the pet insurance would cover 85%. Finding your podcast has been one of my favorite things.

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Wow, I'm so sorry you had to go through that! Thankfully it all worked out in the end...scary!

[@DickGrayson-rq8xs]

Hello 👋 friend how are you doing today 😃 hope am not bothering you?

[@Tahirra2008]

[@christinegiroux8471]

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Welcome aboard 😊❤️❤️

[@CelebrityRDH]

You guys crack me up!! You better like each other ❤

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

LOL, thank goodness we do.

[@lauriemoore3038]

Currently of sick from work (I’m an operating theatre scrub nurse) with a really nasty bug but watching your podcast has cheered me up! Thanks guys 😘

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Aww glad we could bring a little cheer your way! We hope you feel better soon!!

[@KarenHarris-pg5hm]

Kevin and Ray-I’m happy you came to the CT Sheep and Wool Festival this year. It was so nice to meet you in person and chat briefly. Thank you for the great retractable measuring tape. It’s going right into my toolkit and will definitely come in handy.😊

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Yay it was such a great day!! So glad to see you in person too ❤️❤️❤️

[@Sophira1]

I was nodding and saying yes to the fuzz along with many others I bet. I love your blankie Kevin. It will have so many memories of where you were and who you were with as you work on it - a very special piece. Your Dad is going to absolutely love that sweater Ray. It is growing quickly. Thanks for all the laughs and sharing xx

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

I’m so happy I picked his sweater up again!! Loving the process now 😊❤️

[@nicolelafontaine1720]

Kevin your yarn colors are wonderful !!! Great acquisitions, I am a little envious 🙀

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Thank you 😊

[@suedale1865]

Yeah 👏🏻👏🏻from Rays Dad Fan at last the cardigan is seeing light of day well done Ray I’m so pleased for your Dad 👍can’t wait to see it done I hope you get Dad to give us a twirl & model it 🤞 You two get the most beautiful yarns I’m suffering yarn envy though I have more stash than years to knit 😮& suffering some hand joint pain ( getting old is no joke )

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Oh no! Hopefully you start feeling better soon!! Joint pain is the worst 😳 sending lots of positive vibes your way ❤️❤️

[@gretchenmariee]

This episode keeps popping up in my queue and has me laughing each time. You two are such a joy. Thanks for the giggles!

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Thank you so much Gretchen.

[@YarnStorieswithOlivia]

I like you guys 😂😂and I see the fuzz Ray, didn’t you hear me? Thanks for all the chuckles tonight as I sit with you and knit late since tomorrow is a holiday here in Massachusetts. Love all your yarn colors Kevin and all the purchases - that Australian yarn 🤩

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Thanks friend! LOL I totally heard you, hahahha 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@YarnStorieswithOlivia]

@@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast 😂😂

[@bags-by-carol]

sounds so fun - next time you're in VT -- stop in White River Junction at Junction Fiber Mill -- women owned mill and they make some gorgeous yarn -- plus a great fun podcast. OMG my husband does the same thing -- "are you listening?" -- are you going to respond? DO YOU SEE THE FUZZ?? Spit laughing...

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Hopefully their hours will match. We tried to get in but unfortunately they weren't open to the public last week. 🤪

[@tacistudio]

Omg !!! I’m so excited you will be here at Flock & Fiber. I live in portland, air and I’m goj g also. I can’t wait to meet you in person! I looove watching you both and this will be a fabulous festival… I can’t wait. Love your projects and your yarns … 💖💖💖

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Yay!! We can't wait, it'll be our first time out West and we are so excited!

[@jillfoster6369]

Forgot to say - hello from the Lake District, Cumbria, England ❤

[@claraswearingen8390]

Thanks for sharing all your goodies. I’m def going to ask for those hooks for Mom’s Day. I can’t believe you showed Emma’s Yarn. My fav yarn shop in FL is owned by Emma’s parents. They have so many yummy color ways. Very dangerous place. 😊

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

We have both been using them this past week and really enjoy using them.

[@lindariccardohenderson1656]

What a nice gift sweater, can we see it again in the future cool weather days and with the use of the buttons?

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Absolutely! The pattern doesn’t call for buttons but I’ll definitely be wearing it a lot ❤️❤️

[@lynnmurphy0926]

Ray try the ladder back jacquard for your long floats…works amazing once you get the technique down. Tried it for the first time myself with my Zanete yokealong sweater and it made a huge difference.

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

I love this and will definitely try that technique. I watched a few videos and it looks pretty doable 🥰😉

[@falafelchickpea]

That’s what I was also coming here to say - this is a perfect application for ladderback jacquard!

[@Alaskaventureswithbrodie]

You two are my favorite knitting boys! You do so well together ❤

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Thank you so much!

[@Wildknitdiva]

Ray - glad to hear you are working on your dad’s sweater.

[@sabinebauerle7655]

Thanks for a delightful beginning of the new week.

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Oh you're so welcome! We love doing these every two weeks 🥰

[@mell1651]

Hey Ray. When knitting color work flat it’s great to knit backwards so it’s always facing you. A skill worth having in general too.

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Thank you! I watched a few videos but was always afraid to try it 😳

[@LindaJuneDisley]

Hi Kevin and Ray lovely to watch you again. Sounds like you had a great time in Vermont. Your FOs and WIPs are fabulous. Loving the patterns and yarn is scrumptious. WOW loving your yarn Kevin. My sister and I are going to Stephen Wests shop in September and super excited to pick our yarn for this years MKAL. Have a great week. ❤❤❤

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Wow, super fun!! One day we'll head into Amsterdam and make the same trip 🥰

[@mimiknitswithlove3273]

Happy Sunday! Your trip sounds amazing. Thanks for the enjoyable evening. I get so much inspiration from your projects. I'd love to do Shaun's Gambier for my son. How nice of Sarah for knit that sweater for you. Definitely a treasure.

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

I agree! I was floored when I opened that package! WOW!!!

[@teenera3064]

Ray! What a wonderful gift...that cardigan looks great on you!

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Thank you!

[@deniseconsiglio-lahti6443]

Great podcast, thanks. I look forward to seeing you at Flock this summer. There is so much to do in Seattle besides the festival! Jared Floods newest pullover is knit in sport weight, Grist. Kevin your dyed skeins look fantastic. The colors are quite nice. I’m on a yarn diet until Flock, LA yarn crawl and Sacred Sheep.

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Thanks so much, we are very much looking forward to our trip out west 🥰

[@jillfoster6369]

Delighted to see you here guys. So lovely to catch up with your jolly. It all sounds just ideal and perfect.❤

Some great new yarns. And the gifted cardigan is gorgeous

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Thank you and yes, I was sooo surprised and in awe that someone would have done that for me 😍

[@nicolam6773]

Great to see you both. Greetings from Bristol, UK.

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Hello there! Thanks for hanging out with us!

[@noelknits]

AH! Purl and Hank is one of my LYS. The owner is a sweetheart. Ray put the elbow patches, pockets, buttons... do it all!

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Going to look for some buttons that aren't as heavy.

[@celiaflinn7737]

Another great podcast. The yarn is Australian shepherd, the blue merle dog. Mostly grey/ black patches and copper on cheeks, etc. Love these dogs!

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

They are gorgeous dogs, my friend had two of them. Soooo smart too ☺️

[@phyllisburke4141]

The Carr Hat is super easy and so beautiful when done.

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Yay! I can't wait!!

[@kimmacmillan6350]

Thank you for sharing your Vermont trip. Putnam’s vineyard is lovely with all of the plants and cozy tables. I live right across the bridge in New Hampshire!

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

We loved it there, will definitely go back next time we are in the area.

[@sharikremer4018]

I know it's gonna be a great day when the Needles at the Ready pops up! You guys crack me up! I can't wait to knit with Durarum Natura yarn. I have a dream knit pattern that I will get to one day soon. It calls for the sport weight also.

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Amazing!! I’m loving the yarn so far 😊❤️

[@kima9181]

You two are so talented !!!

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Aww thanks so much!

[@katedavy6272]

'Beat him with all the yarn in this room!' I love you all! That was so funny! Oh, I love those So This Is Love socks!!! You make me want to sew again. I just got some 99 cent patterns and some were pj's!

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Oh that's awesome! I had a lot of fun making them and will definitely be doing more.

[@BienCuppers]

Thanks for the podcast. Nice WIPs and FOs. And the given cardigan.💙 Hugs from Holland 🤎

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

[@gordon415]

Yes, yes, yes to elbow patches. I can’t wait to see how your project turns out. 😍😍😍

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Thank you, I'm really excited to work on it.

[@janetjroberson2581]

Hello Kevin and Ray, from Swansea, Illinois.

[@julielandy9162]

Y'all!! I laughed so hard. Y'all are so cute with one another. The musselburgh hat is the thing. I just finished my first on and will definitely cast on another. Take care you two.

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Love it!! They really are so great to make and love the idea that we can use any weight of yarn we want 😍

[@beatricebaker6180]

Hi from Ireland, great to see you

[@julielandy9162]

We are heading to Ireland April 24th. I'm sooo excited. My family came from Ireland in the 1700s. Your beautiful country has been a dream for this Texas girl.

[@darylevangelista4758]

Ray, just about everything I make has a ‘design element’. And I’m fine with that 😀

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

LOL totally love that 🤣

[@VisitWithNanaAndPapa]

Thank you for another great visit. Super excited for your sweater Ray, and wow that was a great gift

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

I love it! I can't believe it still!

[@SNENTASUS]

Glad you two enjoyed your Vermont trip! You both look snazzy in your Vermont hoodies. ❤ I've never left the Midwest but I would love to head East some day and check out local shops. I was actually in totality for the eclipse. I went to "Total Eclipse of the Yarn", where a group of knitters and crocheters hung out at a local yarn shop (Rebel Purl) while we crafted & experienced the eclipse! Ray, that cable sweater looks sick! I can't wait to see your progress. You better cast that on soon! Although it looks like you have your hands full with that lovely colorwork sweater and Dad's sweater. 😊 Also I'm glad you satisfied your brioche craving. The hat colors are lovely and a living testament to Kevin's dyeing skills. Kevin congratulations on your PJ bottoms! 🎉 You should have modeled them! 😮🩰 Your JellyRoll blanket is looking 🔥🔥🔥. It's cool that you have memories attached to the colors. & Omg I laughed so hard at your neglect toward Ray on his felted edging. 😂 You two are hilarious. I checked out your online store yesterday and I gotta say I love the selection! I had to nab all of the Satin Eggplant. ❤ I'm obsessed with your Ghost colors & InkBlot but I decided to be a good girl and wait to save up more. 🤑 I'm so excited!

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Aww omg thank you so very much!! We hope you’ll love the yarn! It really means so much to us ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@lorraineself536]

Katie has been a 🎉 of our generation for over two centuries y the same people have done for our generations in the past and the future is coming together for the next decade to make the future a great one for all the kids of the generation and to help us all in this way in our lives as we go

[@terry_679]

Ray, you're getting "good mileage out of your yarn" 😉 The sweater using Bare Naked Wool would be my Support Sweater for sure ! Kevin, your Stephen West shawl is so beautiful. You really know how to combine colors. 😊

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Thank you! It was so much fun putting together the colors ❤️

[@Knithappenswithpam]

Glad you had a good time!

[@LATHEANDLOOMPODCAST]

Always enjoy catching up with you all! Kevin, I just returned from a trip to Ireland and your unnamed gray colorway immediately made me think of medieval knights armor. Ray, for your Shaun’s Gambier you might take a look at the Jacquard ladder back technique for thr long floats. I used it last year on my Islington Jumper and found it really easy once I actually tried it. That would allow you to still knit in the round. Several tutorials- I kept mine all knit stitches and just started and ended as needed based on the pattern. It’s now my preference for color work! Have a good fortnight! Cher🤣

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Thank you so much. I’ve been looking at this method and would definitely like to try it 😊❤️

[@margaretfranco2366]

Late again, but, in my defense, I just got back from my sisters only trip to NYC. Thank you for the suggestion about going to Brooklyn General. So much fun! There was a yarn crawl going on in Brooklyn however BG was the only store I could get to. Yes, the bank was not only broken, but smashed to bits! Even got to meet Gabi Fontana from mYak! Now I need to save up for my trip to Shetland (not for woolweek) another bank will be broken for sure. Thank you making the world a little brighter.

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Oh wow it sounds like a great trip!! So glad you enjoyed your time there!! And we are so jealous of your upcoming trip!! ❤️❤️

[@trishrichman]

EEEEK - Flock Fiber Fest is the best! The Friday of that weekend, many knitters take the gorgeous ferry from Seattle to Bainbridge Island - you’ll love the ride and the town. Oh - home to the Lamb and Kid and La Mercerie!!!!!!! Hope to see you there.

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

We're very much looking forward to it 🥰

[@paintnknitter]

The Harlow hat is awesome! Love those colors. Will have to try that!

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

You should! Very nice and quick 🥰

[@debraraymer3386]

I watched you while I did my first heel!

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Congratulations!

[@guineverecassidy4855]

"Better Breakfast Fingering" could there be a better name for natural colorway fingering. I love this project so far Ray. Bravo you!!

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Thanks 🥰

[@lindawatt1791]

Ray, when I steeked The Daytripper Cardigan, Mary Jane Mucklestone suggested to pick up for the button band before steeking. It worked great!

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Great advice, thank you 😊

[@TheSablelou]

I don’t know if you heard me squeal when you said you were coming!!!!! So excited! Must knit something special!!!

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Yay!! We can't wait, it'll be our first trip to the West coast 🥰

[@gammyduhnknits]

The colors for Shaun's Gambier are wonderful!

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Thank you, really excited to work on it.

[@heatherholmes8903]

I knew this would be a fun episode based on the intro 😂. My son goes to school in Burlington VT, love sneaking in LYS stops. Hope to meet you on Sat at CSW&FF!

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

We had a great time yesterday ❤️😊😊

[@vickyrumsey692]

Oh, one more thing I wanted to say was that the cream colored cable knit sweater used to be called Irish fisherman's knit!! The irish fishernen used to take their wool with them when they were out fishing and would knit them when they werent fishing!! Mainly below deck in thier cabins!! The irishmen loved the cables because of their addded warmth!!

[@artklossner7744]

I wish I could have had a visit with you guys when you were here in VT.

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

It was wonderful and we’ll definitely be back. Next time for sure ❤️❤️

[@sheridenlomax325]

Hi Guys, ! You made some great purchases. Look forward to seeing them made up. I haven't watched the series Slow Horses but have read the first two books by Mick Herron and I loved them. Hubby has read them all and thought they were great! Happy knitting!

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

We're really enjoying it so far. I don't think we realized it was a book series! Very cool

[@JosefNosek-xh6kl]

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Hi Peta! Thanks so much for this! We love you’re grandmothers advice lol 😂 We really appreciate the support ❤️❤️

[@elizabethsovern8939]

So glad you guys liked the gifts Felicia sent along from Pick Up Every Stitch-you know she loves to send you accessories. We never carried that Ulysse yarn so that's not from us. But we are carrying the entire line of Red Stag Fibre's Manor collection- DK, sport and suri in case you want to come squish and see the rest of the colors! It's delicious isn't it? And Josh is coming for a Red Stag Fibre trunk show in the shop on Sept. 7th!

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Omg lol 😂 that’s the problem when we buy too much yarn hahah 🤦‍♂️We’re actually going to be reaching out VERY soon 😉🥰🥰🥰

[@ModernWitch]

You two are the cuuuuuutest!

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Aww 🥰

[@CelestialAnnie]

Laughing like crazy watching this every time you asked Kevin if you guys liked each other!! 😂😂 Thank you for taking what I had asked in the last podcast whether or not you guys even like each other and playing along with it!! I meant it as a joke and was being sarcastic. You guys are the best. I love watching your pods. Thanks for having a great sense of humor!! Have a lovely Monday evening, you two! 🧶🦋💖🥰😁 Be well.

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

lol 😂 it was so funny 😆❤️❤️❤️

[@pattigolden1]

Hi guys!!! 🤣😂🤣😂 Earthquake!!! Californian here, it's almost a "no big deal" thingie, but such an odd sensation nonetheless. I'm 4 loooong rows from finishing my "ghost knitter shawl", I put it down when my BFF had a stroke in February (she's who I'm making it for) & cried for 2 months, couldn't touch it, then I remembered her 25th anniversary is NEXT year, hopefully she'll make an amazing recovery. 🤞🏻 She's having both spontaneous and controlled movement, I'm hoping that means her brain is rewiring itself. My geogradient is STILL sleeping..🤷🏻‍♀️ It's a nice rainy day, I think I'll nap now. 😉 Have an amazing fortnight! Next up... "Sweet tea, no shade". 😁

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Wow, sending lots of healing vibes to your friend. That had to be very difficult 🥹

[@FlionfreeFibers]

There is an amazing farm co-op right by Green Mountain Spinnery. Lot of local farm foods and great sandwiches and snacks for your drive. Always a must stop on my way through.

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Thanks for the tips! Next time we’re in the area we’ll definitely check it out 😊

[@staceymoore5304]

Excited to hear you'll be at Flock Fiber this year! Would be great to say hello 😀

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

We are really looking forward to going, it will be our first trip to the PNW.

[@SwamiMommy]

🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻way to go Ray!! Finishing Ivan!!

[@lsdev4229]

Another Great episode Kevin and Ray, love what you are both making. I enjoy "Midsommer Murders " there are 24 seasons so far. I think it is on the Acorn channel. Love Britsh shows! 🥰🇨🇦Sharon.

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Oh cool, we'll see if that's something we can get here! Thank you 🥰

[@mjkwiatek7217]

I love Chester! I go there often. (I live about an hour from there.) Six Loose Ladies is a nice shop. Run by volunteers.

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

That is awesome! It's a really great area, so many cute little shops 😉

[@debrabrady1069]

Used Harrisville Shear DK to make the Field Sweater. It is a lovely yarn to knit and to wear. Added bonus it is a reasonably priced yarn.

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

We are both excited to work with it.

[@teenera3064]

Thanks for talking about the Mistborn series... I read it ages ago when it was still only a trilogy! I'm thinking I may have to revisit 🤔

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

I definitely plan on reading the trilogy, not sure if I will go past the original three books.

[@savyjett]

Oh the harrisville store is definitely on my list of things to do!

[@savyjett]

Look, i also wasnt sure who ray was waiting an answer from about the fuzz. 😂😂

[@savyjett]

Hyde and hammer always sounds wrong to me, and i think i finally nailed down why! We have a small town around these parts called Heidenheimmer. Its taken several yers now that this has been bothering me. 😂

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

LOL 🤣🤣

[@Lisa-vb3gn]

Thank you Ray! I thought I was alone in my feelings about Outlander.

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

It wasn't Rays cup of tea.

[@dianeazzopardi6269]

Love the outburst. Too funny.

[@joanbell4381]

Lol yes Ray I see the fuzz love the podcast as always

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Haha 🤣

[@sandracroley9784]

Pausing the video to comment on your cardigan that you swatched for. I would totally duplicate-stitch the blue stitches 😊

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

We are thinking that or doing intarsia.

[@heidiwilson8453]

I love Harrisville! It's so close to me! In primary school as a class we would go there to do all things involving wool. They would also come to our school to do a school wide weaving project. You hit some great wool shops. I love them all. Next time you should hit Scratch, just across the river in Lebanon NH.

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

We were going to stop at Scratch on the way home but just wanted to get on the road. Looks like they have a GREAT selection!

[@debbieperea95]

I needed a good laugh and you supplied it in the first minutes 👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤣🤣🤣🥲 “We” the voices in my head 🤣🤣👍🏻 I love the pop of blue for your sweater gauge 👏🏻👏🏻🧶🧶🧶Ray didn’t you hear us🤷‍♀️ we were listening 🤣🤣🤣👏🏻👍🏻Kevin are you listening 🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰 I really love the shawl colors in Kevin’s West shawl 🧶🧶🥰🥰🥰🥰 Humor is what I needed. Thanks guys🥰🥰🥰🤣 I love the pockets and elbow pads!!!! Kevin love all the yarn in any shade of orange 🧡🧡🧡🧶👍🏻 The sweater that Ray received is beautiful, love the colors 🧶🧶🥰🥰🥰 I love the Austrian shepherd color 🧶🧶🥰🥰 some beautiful yarn 🧶 bought in Vermont 🥰🥰👍🏻 I agree I loved Downton Abbey 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡 My family just watched FUBAR with Arnold Schwarzenegger 👍🏻👍🏻. A lot of language 😩 but a funny crazy series!!!

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Omg what lovely comments!! Thank you so much for taking the time to write them out ❤️ We definitely need to check out that show lol 😂

[@caffrec1]

I ended up carrying the four yarns up the i-cord when I worked on that section of the Geogradient Shawl--it was so nice to not have to weave them in!

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Really? Awesome, maybe I’ll give that a try, thank you 😊

[@katedavy6272]

Wahoo ..so ready to see this!!!

[@leslieazucker5262]

Hysterical opening!

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

🤣

[@angieanderson6082]

On the Geogradient, I ended up carrying my four colors up inside of the I-cord edge. It was a little bit tedious, but better than allllllll those ends for me. 😉

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Oh thank you, we'll see how it goes but I love that idea!

[@barbaraanne2136]

You can use your new Jammy pants as your pattern by flattening them out to check the cutting lines because the pattern is so simple.If you were making a more fitted garment it is different. There is pattern fabric for use when cutting patterns for garments that was you don't damage your original pattern. you just trace your size and then cut from that resulting pattern. The pattern fabric is much more desireable for reusing patterns.

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Thank you for the tip Barbara!

[@FlionfreeFibers]

Aussies are great. I have several.

[@marilynfenton8763]

Loved Slow Horses!

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

It was so good.

[@annmc3878]

Hello from Louisville KY. I am so indecisive about what to knit next. I keep thinking a cardigan would be what I would wear the most, but can’t settle on a pattern.

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Tell us about it! We feel the same way sometimes! So many great patterns to choose from, so little time 🤣

[@MrsKWheatley]

Hello from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Hello there!

[@alicekemner3273]

Hello from St Louis

[@maryglancy17]

Ah Chester, Vermont is indeed a very special place as it’s home to my favorite knitting needles, DyakCraft (family business of Tom and Linda Diak).

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Oh no way! We’ll have to look that up, thank you 😊

[@pamsavanovic3004]

If you guys are ever out West, come visit Isabelle's Parlour, A Yarn Boutique in Wickenburg Arizona. A super selection of yarn and notions

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Thank you for the suggestion.

[@alanptaylor11]

Ray, I think you want to KNIT the column between the body and the steek so it will fold to the back. A purl column wants to fold to the front. Oh! And you could machine felt your swatch. It would make a great mat or trivet.

[@NeedlesattheReadyPodcast]

Thank you for the tips.
