[@noisetteshelley]

I love watching you two! I have to wait until I'm home alone to watch, because I end up interacting a little too much. (I realize I'm laughing and talking to a screen, and you can't hear me, but l just can't help myself) I appreciate how genuine you are, and you both are so knowledgeable, yet open in sharing how you are continuing to learn along the way. Thanks for all you do!

[@yarncafecreationshanddyedy1271]

Shelley Noisette Thank you so much! We talk to the screen as if you are all there with us. We feel your presence. 😊❤️

[@JenFarrer]

I just realized you have a podcast! I am Train Track Fiber Designs on Instagram 🤗 The new cardigan sweater is beautiful!!!

[@NSPDesigns]

I am so excited about every new episode from you guys! I LOVE all your festive holiday colorways! Those yarn cakes are amazing. I think I need one in my life. The tonals are amazing! I'm going to have to go binge listen to that spooky podcast you mentioned, I've been looking for a new one and I trust your judgment.

[@beckywhitt7356]

I'm so sorry about Roger. I lost my 19 year old kitty end of August and I still have moments of tears.

[@KimClinger]

I love your love for your sweet Roger! and I completely understand your feelings!

[@yarncafecreationshanddyedy1271]

Kim Clinger Thank you. ❤️

[@OrchardHouseEditing]

I love your idea of finding somewhere to donate yarn (or FOs). We do all have a lot, and i'm at the point where I did 2 yarn wishes and then realized I don't actually need any more, I have plenty, and there's no need to ask for more. I'd love to see something like this organized.

[@kimberlyperez2481]

I love love your arwen sweater Trysten! I plan to make it too after I saw how beautiful you looked in it.

[@dragonhoardyarnpodcast8810]

Kimberly Perez oh thank you!! It really is such an amazing knit! I loved making it!

[@xivycometx]

So happy you ladies are in for SSK as well! Hopefully I will get to stop and say hi at the market or see you around the retreat! . :) It’s my first year getting into the lottery myself so super excited. Crossing my fingers to get a class with Tanis.

[@yarncafecreationshanddyedy1271]

Julia W. Yayyyyy!!! We are so excited! I’m sure we’ll meet you and we’re looking forward to it!

[@floralfoote]

Hi. Thank you for your chatty podcast. I had a bit of a meltdown with my depression. Yearning keeps me calmer. But sometimes makes me frustrated inside. I just need hugs calmness love and yarn. That's my wishes. And to get through Christmas best I can. Sorry for long chat

[@jenniferverstraten3024]

Oh my if i could id totally knit your new design sweater in bear hug love the looks and colour 💕 and also love the new sock pattern !

[@cynthiasuniga9050]

As I am sitting here watching your podcast, I learned about Rodger. My sympathies go out to you and your other half. I also had to put my cat down (a little over a yr ago now). I still miss her. I love your Butter Beer hat. I will have to look for it. Cyn

[@CrystalDeGroteHeppe]

I love you ladies, your generous hearts make you even more beautiful. I hope to meet you at Rhinebeck 2019! Anyway, my local knitters guild (Madison Knitters Guild) does a fundraiser each December- donated yarn is sold to raise funds for a local food bank charity, Second Harvest. They have raised over $10,000 each year for them! Also, there is a group that was organizing a teach kids to knit weekend but I’m not sure if that happened already. That’s through D Marie Knits, a LYS. If you want any more contact info just let me know! Madison knitters loved your yarn at Knitcircus recently!

[@marieking-stevason1775]

Welcome back ladies!!! I’m so sorry for your loss, Christy. I remember when my budgie passed I was so distraught. (16 years ago, it still bothers me) Beautiful projects you two!! It always feels good to give, my nephew’s best friend drown in his swimming pool 5 years ago (he was 5 yrs old), his mom couldn’t afford to buy his headstone and she raised only a few hundred dollars and so I asked my brother how much she still needed and I gave him the rest of the money to give to her and I never even met her, she wanted to thank me and I just told my brother to tell her that it was my pleasure to help out. (She’s a single mom) You ladies have a wonderful Thanksknitting!!!! Happy knitting from Canada 🇨🇦 ❤️Marie

[@yarncafecreationshanddyedy1271]

Marie King-Stevason Thank you for sharing, Marie, that must have been so hard for your nephew. Giving is something we can do when we don’t know what to do. Thanks again and happy holidays! ❤️

[@marieking-stevason1775]

The Girls In The Yarn Cafe: A Knitting Podcast It was confusing for him, as he was 5 years old, I don’t believe that my brother and sister in law explained death to him before this happened. I’d never met his friend or his mom, but I felt that this woman had lost her only child and she was a single parent without any family and she didn’t need to have the burden of trying to make ends meet and paying for his headstone, so I just had to help her out. (I’m a mom too, and I couldn’t imagine the pain of losing a child) Happy Holidays!!! ❤️ from 🇨🇦

[@beckywhitt7356]

The hat is so cute and love your pictures in the leaves.

[@debbiecarter2372]

I just found you and love your podcast. So now to watch all of them. How often do you do your podcast? Now I just have to learn how to order yarn from your shops. See you next time.

[@anjiknits]

🙂 hope to meet you both at EYF, what a busy year for you, exciting 💕

[@ravestitches8227]

WOW Thanks for your story about your kitty, we just put our family pet down today we had him 9 years.

[@yarncafecreationshanddyedy1271]

Rave Stitches Thank you for sharing. I’m so sorry about your loss, that must have been so hard. Whether our pets are suffering and we have to put them down or we lose them tragically, it is devastating. Thanks again. ❤️😊😊

[@ravestitches8227]

Omg and one of your skeins is called pepper that was my dogs name 👍❤️

[@nancymorales2741]

So sorry about your kitty! On a bright note, it was nice to meet you two at Rhinebeck. Happy Thanksgiving. -lajoyagirl

[@ramonafirehorse]

OMG I finally got into SSK this year!!! Can’t wait to hang out with you guys again. ❤️

[@yarncafecreationshanddyedy1271]

ramonafirehorse Yayyyyy!!!! That just made my night!!! I’m so excited!! ❤️❤️

[@LRMau]

I was leaning into my laptop waiting for you to say you were coming to Stitches Midwest. Damn! I'm so sorry about your loss, Christy. I lost my bullmastiff, who was the love of my life. It's been almost two years and I still cry for him, so I totally get it and send you love and light.

[@yarncafecreationshanddyedy1271]

LRMau I’m sorry you lost your pet, that’s so hard. And thank you so much. ❤️

[@jenniferverstraten3024]

Im so looking forward to EYF and i really hope to meet you both 💕

[@LittleWoollyThings]

Hey, guys, I love all of your new colorways! And I'm not 100% sure, but I think that the doe in the original Rudolph movie was named Faline. Edited to add: I was incorrect. Clarice was the character name in Rudolph. The doe in Bambi was named Faline.

[@elisaolvera6677]

Yes!!! I love the large skeins of yarn! That's a great idea. I don't understand why they bother to put up yarn in 50g skeins. If you want a sweaters worth of yarn you have to buy 10-12 skeins. I'll use another yarn rather than work with little balls of yarn.

[@kaylacrafty2270]

Never noticed the backward antlers! I was too busy loving your sweater!

[@glendabathgate2088]

I cried with you about poor Rodger hope to see yous in edinburgh i stay there x

[@StellarNeedlecraft]

I would keep an eye on your credit card you used from the ad you saw for the jackets. Make sure it wasn’t a compromised site. Also, I want to buy all the yarns from both of you. I can’t though because I need to restock my bare yarns for dyeing as well.

[@donnahenderson4215]

Rudolph with Burl Ives narrating has Clarice. Olive The Other Reindeer is a cartoon narrated by Drew Barrymore. It's the sweetest story.

[@truechitherese]

I MUST meet you at Stitches West in Santa Clara!!!!

[@yarncafecreationshanddyedy1271]

Therese Walsh-Van Keuren Yes!! Let’s plan on it!

[@readknitwithcheryl]

Olive the other Reindeer, was a dog who thought she was a reindeer, because her name was Olive and the song said All of the other reindeer. It's a cute cartoon.

[@dragonhoardyarnpodcast8810]

Knit and Crochet With a Gilmoregirl that..... is pretty much adorable!! 😱

[@readknitwithcheryl]

Hi! I just remembered the cartoon clearly. Olive thinks she's a reindeer not because of the song. There's a radio report that Santa's lead reindeer is injured, so he's asking "all of the other reindeer" to help. So the book and cartoon is about Olive's trip to the North Pole to help Santa. just thought I'd let you know, lol. love your podcast!

[@beckywhitt7356]

I love the big cakes

[@sallyburch4360]

Yes I watched the whole episode! Your images are going to be permanently burned on our tv screen 🤪

[@yarncafecreationshanddyedy1271]

Sally Burch You’re welcome! 😀

[@dragonhoardyarnpodcast8810]

That is quite an accomplishment!!!

[@koiwood]

i tried the fish lips kiss heel and hated it-its fussy and boasts that it requires no measuring.....except having to make a foot template, take multiple measurements and read a heel pattern that is over 10 pages. The fleegle heel is basically the same thing but easier to do and i think better results. The afterthought heel is a tighter fit through the instep and a better fit on me. I use the Kirby wirby cut in method and do not have issues with holes at the edges. I also knit all my socks toe up "up on the rooftop, reindeer paws..." as in paw at the roof..... always how i thought about that. funny how we all have a different take on it

[@LRMau]

Ok, me again. There is a children's book called Olive the Other Reindeer. (Say it aloud and you'll get it.) I'm not a fan of the Rudolph story because it seems the message is if you're different, you'd better have some kind of super power. Maybe that's just me. And by the way, I also thought it was "reindeer paws". I know reindeer don't have pause, but I thought it was a matter of artistic license since hooves doesn't rhyme with Claus. haha

[@yarncafecreationshanddyedy1271]

LRMau Thank you! I feel validated!! 😀❤️

[@EvieBear236]

Pause, meaning they pause on the roof so Santa can jump out of the sleigh.

[@OrchardHouseEditing]

If afterthought heels throw off your measurement, just knit to your foot length minus TWO toe measurements.. cause the heel is the same as the toe ;)

[@cherthemoments627]

Trysten, Some how I can not find your shop, you were talking about your yarn and I wanted to get some but can't .

[@yarncafecreationshanddyedy1271]

[@donnahenderson4215]

@@yarncafecreationshanddyedy1271 nope. I've been trying for weeks to find you that way. I thought maybe you stopped accepting followers. You might want to check it out. The only thing I get when I put that in is a hashtag. I'll keep trying. I'd love to see your new sweater pictures even if the antlers are backwards 😄 You are a wonderful designer.

[@yarncafecreationshanddyedy1271]

If you go to the top of the hashtag search, you can click on “people” and it will go away from the hashtags and pull up the people. We have both been getting Instagram followers everyday so I’m not sure what’s happening. 😢

Ladies, I am so saddened to hear about your cat. My vet told me that the average lifespan of an outdoor cat is 7 years, while indoor cats can live to 20. I don't let my little kitties out anymore after learning this. People just drive way too fast.

[@yarncafecreationshanddyedy1271]

jacquelinepirotta Thank you. I would love to keep all the kitties inside but my son-in-law and grandson are highly allergic. 😢 Also, they are farm cats and hate being inside! 😂😂
