You ladies are so much fun!

[@PattymacMakes]

That yellow shawl is everything!!! Perfect for wearing to movies and in the air conditioning all summer long!

[@mama_mahar]

I love the patterns featured in this episode! I really wish that the patterns were available for purchase without having to get a kit. Heaven knows my stash is big enough already! Please, Craftsy, make the patterns you showcase available outside of kits! GG ladies, it’s always so much fun to watch the two of you! :)

[@sallythibodeaux7992]

I’m using Cloudborn Pima Cotton for knitted knockers and I absolutely love the feel of it. It’s very easy to work with, love the new projects😊

[@PattymacMakes]

That's great Sally!! I haven't tried this yarn yet so it's good to hear your input.

[@SSKYarners]

I love spring & summer knitting! I use a lot of beautiful cotton yarns & I also haven’t used cables for summer knitting! What beautiful patterns! The Shawl Tracie is wearing is stunning! 🙋🏻‍♀️

[@gayleklein8890]

I'm in! Purchased the tulip wrap in the mint colorway! So glad you don't show cars! Who can resist ! I tell my husband this is my retirement yarn! Great job girls!

[@rhondarushing447]

You girls crack me up, love watching you, 😊.

[@theknittingcraft3151]

Beautiful design 👌

[@nataliesheldon4518]

You know, I rarely think to use cotton, but you're absolutely right, it would make great loose summer garments. All of a sudden, I'm thinking a cotton boxy might be splendid for beach days.

[@melaniesbuchanan1759]

I love you two! Besides being very informative, you crack me up! I love this cardi! I have to add it to my list!

[@jenniferannfox2316]

those are beautiful. The problem I have with cotton is that as you wear it, it stretches out and loses shape. I like a cotton mix in a yarn though. Some cottons are not comfortable to knit with but some are more so. The cables are beautiful. I'm making a shawl now and trying to design a horizontal cable in one of the panel stripes. Adds so much texture and interest.

[@chrisb5391]

Beautiful sweaters and shawls!! Wish I had more time.

[@karimonster]

Ladies, some of us Texans knit cotton 10 months a year! =) Its super easy to become a fan of. Love this pattern and I may need to make myself one of these!

[@alainapickering487]

Ok you two need to stop showing me all these beautiful shawls, sweaters, knit-alongs! I'm buying them all!!!

[@zoyamichel215]

I've knitted with bamboo yarn several years ago & I enjoyed it but it was kinda heavy not airy enough-learning lesson!!

[@cherriesnhoney]

canadian gals?!?! ive recently found you and watched a few videos, so happy to see talented north:)...i dont knit but i do love watching your videos, i learn lots and may pick up a set of needles to give it a go...love the shawls you both are wearing. tfs:)

[@carol-anncox759]

Craftsy could you please make the purchase of the "pattern only" an option.

[@maggie2sticks717]

I am not a big fan of knitting with cotton (except for dishcloth, because they are fast), but I don't mind crocheting with it. I think it has to do with the tension. Cotton doesn't have that spring like wool does and in knitting it hurts my hands, but in crochet the tension doesn't matter as much because the yarn is held differently. Maybe Craftsy could do a video about crochet with cotton. Nice video anyway!!

[@masuganut2082]

Maggie Grace Rasor I completely agree!!

[@outR33ch]

So, I just bought the kit for Clamber Cardigan by Norah Gaughan. What doe "no stitch" mean?

[@lindaneale5206]

Love the collection shame the pattern isn’t available alone, it’s out of my reach price wise unfortunately. Xx

[@glendabathgate2088]

Hi sorry missed u tracey at eyf maybe next year

[@jrshooligans]

Great episode always fun to learn new things looks like a neat sweater to make. Could you pass on to craftsy see that it would be nice if they would turn the music off it is distracting it makes it hard to enjoy the episodes. Keep up the great work girls

[@jackiegordon1186]

The first half of the show the music was too loud!! It was hear to hear the girls talk.
