Happiness and Joy to you both and your families this Thanksgiving. Thank you for welcoming us into your lives and sharing your days and of course, YARN, design, etc. Favorite sweater: warmer months Rock It Tee and winter my shawls or scarves. Am knitting for the holidays-hats and socks using leftovers, mixing yarns and colors. So much fun to see what happens. HAPPY KNITTING to ALL. See you next time.

The flower on the Marcia scarf would be stellar with some of the sparkle in it. So sophisticated.

[@sharonrobillard5163]

[@susanrademacher-dk9yv]

Hello Friends! I enjoy watching your podcast while I’m knitting or sewing. Dinah--GO to the retreat!!! Two years ago we went to Texel (pronounced tessel) during a cross-country bike and boat tour. It is charming!!! Also try Texel beer--my favorite!!! Have a great Thanksgiving! My pies are fresh out of the oven. :)

[@LindaNixon-ws4ge]

My most worn is Bird Song. I knitted it with a olive green background and black birds. I love crows and wanted a sweater with them on it.

[@bethmacdonaldstone]

Happy Thanksgiving Dina & Pam!!!!

[@shirleytaylor7414]

You ladies are a breath of fresh air❤❤❤

[@carolyn_r]

I'm thankful that I recently discovered your podcast. You both are a joy!

[@pennyschwarze6393]

I’m very thankful for all the blessings God has given me. Last weekend my sister came and visit for a long weekend. She helped me in my craft room. I love seeing all your beautiful projects. Thankful for finding your podcast I really enjoy it. Have a blessed Thanksgiving.

Sparkle yarn management… Put your ball in a Ziploc bag and close it up almost all the way, but allowing just the strand to come through. Then you can throw it in your knitting bag with the other balls of yarn.

[@janethogan8387]

Such a fun podcast, thank you so much! My go to sweater is “No Frills Sweater” by PetitKnits.

[@KBC6409]

I love and wear my cottage garden.

[@Golden.5555]

I so want to take the garden cardigan class but have some sweaters to finish first😂

[@maureenkirby514]

Lovely broadcast and Happy Thanksgiving to both of you and your families. My most worn object right now is the Autumn League Pullover, made from LB Heartland yarn...love it. And it is a free pattern on Ravelry for anyone interested. I am grateful for your podcasts, like sitting with family for an hour, just talking knitting, love it!

[@TrudySchwartzBurrill]

Fabulous as always. Love the stories the inspiration and your friendship is very special. Happy Thanksgiving.

[@Golden.5555]

The chain sweater 😍

[@DonnaMull]

my fav accessory lately has been the Breathe and Hope shawl by Casapinka, just 2-100gram skeins of hand dyed yarn, lovely to wear. when i'm at a loss as to what to knit, i'll cast on another one, great for gifts

Happy Thanksgiving! 🧡🦃🍂🤎🍁

[@alyo112]

If you love stuffed artichokes you should make a stuffed artichoke casserole. I use either frozen or canned artichoke hearts (whatever you have at your grocery store will work) breadcrumbs, fresh parmesan cheese, fresh garlic, lots of olive oil, mix all the ingredients together (measure with your heart) place in a casserole dish and top with fresh grated mozzarella cheese. Bake at 350 until the mozzarella cheese is melted and a little browned (that’s how I like mine at least) it’s delicious and tastes exactly like stuffed artichoke without all the extra work. Bon appétit.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

[@mphailey1]

My most worn garment is a drop sleeve over-sized cardigan knit in Drops Air - it pills like crazy, but it is so light and cozy and warm - love it!

[@ruthjense6272]

My favorite and best fitting sweaters are Wild Horse cardigan and Blizzard pullover by Jessica McDonald.

[@kathykeller3430]

I handwash all my sweaters but today I just happened to wash my Shipshape which is made from Line. I had soaked it in Soak but then put it into the washing machine for a gentle rinse/spin and into the dryer on low with a thick towel for 10 min just to get it started. It's spread out on my drying mat to finish off. The older I get the more I prefer to wear all my lighter-weight sweaters.

[@joycepastore3860]

Oh Pam, you’re killing me! I grew up on stuffed artichokes - I make them with chopped mushrooms and black olives, of course breadcrumbs. I saw them in Fresh Market and they were $4.99 each so I passed. I am not making dinner at home. I am invited to the neighbors but I may go and buy one or two for myself. Always fruit and a bowl of nuts on the table for the holidays - in particular hazelnuts, which my mom called filberts and almonds, both toasted in the oven for a few minutes. And of course, Brazil nuts in the shell which were a pain but worth it. Our Italian ancestors must be from the same region. My mom‘s family was from somewhere in Abruzzoand my dad‘s family was from Bari

[@estherdigianvittorio5279]

I wear all my knits. My goal was to have a collection of Cold and warm weather knits and I have arrived to the point that I can wear a knit everyday My fav sweater is Turtle Dove made it in several yarns. Talk about pilling and washing sweaters, I made a lovely Throwover out of Cascade220 and Wave superwash (never used it thought I’d try it )and although I always hand wash I put this super wash sweater in the washer and it looked like garbage after 1 wash. Pill pill pill! Never again. Happy Thanksgiving!

[@nadinegoffart487]

Thank you, Dinah and Pam, for your weekly podcasts and your wonderful kits! Happy Thanksgiving By the way: my all time favourite sweater: a Lento in fingering + mohair. Light and just warm enough ❤

[@thekindles1183]

Happy Thanksgiving! I'm gratefuk for you two and your community. Have a good weekend! Hugs- Kimberly

[@beckywhitt7356]

Mine is Beekeeper cardigan. My shawl is Hipster. Love fingering weight pullovers. I wear my 2 Felix cardigans out of Lettlopi all winter as jackets. I wash all my knits by hand.

[@isabelle.duchatelle]

I always wash to soak by hand and then give it a spin (400 RPM) in the washing machine, in a special laundry bag :)

[@denisedejose718]

Team Handwash!

[@joycepastore3860]

I hand wash my sweaters, even the super wash ones. I only started knitting sweaters during Covid, so I don’t have as many as you ladies do. My two favorites are the warm-up sweater. I think it’s by petite knit. That is casual. my dressier sweater is Solare by Joji Locatelli. I used alpaca and alpaca suri, it’s like wearing a little animal around, so soft and cozy. When I am with knitters, they always want to pet my arm ha ha

[@shamszakhour6076]

Yes, I heard your stomach, DIna, but what I really want to know is did a family of toddlers move in above your shop?

[@cindynicholas1615]

Arne and Carlos said that Norwegians don’t wash their sweaters. They hang them outside during the winter to refresh them. But maybe that’s just Arne and Carlos. 😂

[@ruthjense6272]

I heard them say that also. Andrea of Fruity Knitting said she doesn’t wash her wool sweaters often. Maybe if needed she washes just under arms, etc.

[@denisesterzel8471]

Like doing the two rows of rib on my brioche hat. Unfortunately I HAVE to STOP dropping stitches. One step forward, two steps back.

[@nysunshine082874]

That winter white is called English cream this year

[@rhondacutler3831]

My most worn sweater is my Monday Sweater by far!

[@deekay5594]

hand wash + spin in washing machine. fave cardigan: R & R hoodie (aran). fave pullover: keep smiling (fingering).

[@maryruthshanks3742]

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍁🧡🧡🧶🧶

[@Golden.5555]

[@KBC6409]

[@alip.9740]

Use a button to attach the pompom and you can unattached it.

[@KBC6409]

I mean garden cardigan

[@shirleytaylor7414]

What length is the Sophie shawl?❤❤

[@ruthjense6272]

I hand wash all knitted items.

[@KBC6409]

I have to say. I love your friendship. I hope it last forever. Appreciate you both.

[@artandbooks5850]

My go to sweater that I wear the most is LENU by ANKESTRiCK. Knit in Knitting for Olive soft silk mohair and De Rurum Natura Ulysse, one strand each. It is a little warmer than one strand fingering merino with mohair but not super hot, works well under a coat and in my house when it’s a bit chilly but I am trying not to turn the heat up! I love the fit, it is perfect.

[@MJay77-u9z]

Happy Thanksgiving!!

[@monspier]
