“Identical”. Best criminal law movie ever. No joke - I can’t tell you how many clips are shown at legal trainings. My Cousin Vinny. You ladies are a riot! I have got to come see you when I come back east for the holidays.

[@mindfulmelbournemaker]

Oh you guys - HELLO - Love you! Been watching from the very beginning of course!!🥰 And yay - us process knitters with a million WIPs have to stick together 🤣 Stick with it Lori - your mojo will come back. Make a mohair scrunchie - it will help!

[@TheSkeinScoopPodcast]

I really need to make one of those scrunchies for Alex, Kath!!! My mojo has come back a bit. Still moving at a snail’s pace, tho. Going away on kind of a big vaca at the end of the week so really hoping to get a good amount of knitting in. Keep those amazing FO’s coming!!! We love you! 😍 😍😍

[@coloradoknits]

Yes to old Olympic coverage and all the SPORTS! ❤

[@TheSkeinScoopPodcast]

YAAAAAAASSSSSS!!! Can’t we just go back in time??? 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Lori, you are so right!!! Egg salad is soooo delicious!!

Hello! Kath from Mindful Melbourne Maker sent me! I’m Kath’s tech editor so I love that you love her patterns! I’m originally from MA, so the next time I am back visiting, I need to come and see you!😊

[@TheSkeinScoopPodcast]

@@purlfectpairings yes!!! Please come and see us!

[@kathybalcom5097]

Always time well spent, ladies! Thanks for the smiles and inspiration. I've been here from the start, even before you bought the shop, Lori. Stay well ladies and knit on.

[@TheSkeinScoopPodcast]

Thank you so much, Kathy!!! We so appreciate your kind words. 💕💕💕

[@cwanlin128]

You two are so fun! I love your casual podcast! I've been watching for the last year and so enjoy you! Lori, you are so lucky to have your daughter and grandson only 20 minutes away. My daughter and her family are 1 1/2 hours away, and my son and his family are 10 hours away! :( Justine, I love hearing about your adorable children! As for knitting--I love that Salty Days Sweater. I just added it to my list! Lori, I'm so sorry about the dye lots on your sweater--so sad! Justine, you said you love brioche--I would suggest the Rambler shawl. As for the Olympics, I agree about the lovely comraderie among the athletes. And, Sharks Under Paris sounds hysterical!!

[@TheSkeinScoopPodcast]

We so appreciate your support! I am incredibly grateful that Sam and her family moved so close to us. I still can’t believe that they’re here! ❤❤❤

[@daniellejohnson3364]

Love you guys ❤😂 I’m here for all of the laughs and knitting too.

[@TheSkeinScoopPodcast]

Love you, mama. 😘😘😘

[@peggyhegarty-steck9351]

New to your podcast! A knitting friend recommended it.

[@rosemaryc9093]

Been watching since episode 1.

[@TheSkeinScoopPodcast]

Yeah, girl! We know it!!! ❤❤❤

[@valeriea.gladstone6440]

Hey, I totally agree about using Raverly! Now when starting a project, look at other finished projects, also I read the projects with notes..it has saved me so much frustration!

[@TheSkeinScoopPodcast]

It is SO helpful. Thanks so much for watching! 💕💕💕

[@MegKnutmegknits]

Fun episode for a dreary afternoon! I think I started watching near the beginning and have even been so lucky to visit a couple of times. My daughter is back up for school right after Labor Day and I’m definitely trying to squeeze in a visit- maybe I’ll even meet Justine this time. I love both of your Pressed Flower cardigans. I made one a couple of years ago and loved knitting it, even the sleeves! But you enabled me to immediately purchase the new Pauline cardigan and already anxious to cast it on!

[@TheSkeinScoopPodcast]

Yay, Meg!!! Come on a Tuesday, Thursday or Friday and most likely Justine will be there! Thank you so much for sticking with us. 💕💕💕

[@sabinebauerle7655]

Im watching your podcast I think from the very beginning and love each and every episode.

I have been watching your podcast since I met you guys a couple of years ago at Rhinebeck weekend! Always a treat to watch your podcast.

Aww-thanks for sticking with us!!! 💕💕💕

[@maryjaninelangdon327]

Loved this episode - as always❤️ Finished a Shrug Hug while watching and have a new project to start - with our Gilded Age yarns - thanks to you ladies and your constant inspiration. Cath and I will see you on October 2nd - when we come up for the Newport Concours🎉🎉🎉 Oh and by the way, if knitting was an Olympic sport, you would tie for the gold medal😘

[@beckykerrigan9873]

Classic, My Cousin Vinny! My first time watching!❤

[@TheSkeinScoopPodcast]

Yes, Becky!!! 😂😂😂

[@sparkle5240]

For the tee that Lori needs to rip back - use a crochet hook and pick up the drops from slightly below where you need to rip back to?

[@annemarieherndon682]

Please host a class!!!

Love your podcast -- yes an escape from the world --best hour or more

Aww-thank you, Patti!!! ❤❤❤

I made the Sunday Morning Wrap using Sonder Yarn - it's really a beautiful pattern and the yarn was lovely to work with.

[@TheSkeinScoopPodcast]

The Sonder yarn looks so beautiful. I hope to get it in the shop someday. ❤

[@BagsByBarbie]

I love watching you guys and have been craving a new episode, so I was very excited when I saw this one posted. I’ve been watching since Spring or Summer of 2022 and you are still my favorite! 😃

[@TheSkeinScoopPodcast]

Thank you so much for watching, Barbie and for your kind words! ❤❤❤

[@maryleedickson9159]

Been watching from the start and showed my totes and baskets! I was thrilled! You both inspire me.

[@TheSkeinScoopPodcast]

Aww-thanks, Marylee!!! ❤❤❤

[@ASquareGranny]

I ADORE EGG SALAD. I am however, picky about it, lol. I’ve only been crocheting since October, but I discovered y’all quickly! I back-watched (is that a term/verb?) to catch up when I first joined you. Always great to see you gals! ☺️🫶🏻🧶🥚🥗

[@the_busy_beaver_brooke]

Idk... Ray and kevin got me onto the boat 😂 awhile.... Egg salad is fantastic

[@TheSkeinScoopPodcast]

Thanks for your support, Brooke-both for us AND egg salad. 😂😂😂

[@gwenfrost4987]

I enjoy your podcast a lot! I started watching you six months ago. Also I really like egg salad especially with green olives 🫒 sliced up in it. 🙂

We’re so glad you found us, Gwen! ❤❤❤ As for olives in my egg salad, that’s a hard pass…

Lori, your Outline Tee should be on display in the shop. It's the perfect opportunity to help others avoid this common error. Been watching for 2 years. Always an enjoyable podcast.

[@TheSkeinScoopPodcast]

Thank you, Donna! I am definitely going to finish it and wear it/display it. ❤❤❤

Excellent My Cousin Vinny reference. I-Dentical!

[@heidishomestead9475]

I went back to look at my viewing history and it appears that I discovered your podcast 9 months ago & I haven’t missed an episode since! I’ve never had a long stretch where I’ve lost my knitting mojo but I’m multi-craftual. So I may switch to crochet or spinning or weaving when the mood strikes. Though knitting is my first & deepest love and I always return to it.

[@maureenholian1560]

Hi Lori and Justine, Happily a long-time follower! Thanks for another enjoyable and inspiring episode! " Identical " is from the great movie " My Cousin Vinny"!!! You are both so funny! Wishing Ben a speedy recovery...Michael too!!! Lori to get your "mojo" back you need to knit something for your grandbaby!!! Happy Knitting 🧶!

[@pammyers1982]

I love watching you two. You keep me inspired, even when my crojo and knitjo are lacking. I’d love to come down when Knitty Natty and Kent are there so I could meet you all at the same time. The bags are so cool! I love the purple and orange splash. The colors are amazing!💜🧡💗. And, Team Eggsalad. 😂😂

[@TheSkeinScoopPodcast]

Yaaaasssss, Pam-to all of it!!! Hope we get to see you when Knitty Natty comes to the shop! ❤❤❤

[@8Gammie]

Hello, from Barbara in Happy Valley, Oregon. I'm not sure how long I've been watching, but, it's been a long time of fun and information!!! I love, love egg salad!!! Mom made tuna and egg salad regularly and us 3 daughters loved it. I love morning toast with some egg salad on top of it. YUM.. LOVE the man in the background.. so funny. do it again, please, that was so cute. Beautiful garments, lovely fun talks...

[@TheSkeinScoopPodcast]

We love hearing from you, Barbara! Yay for egg salad! 😂😂😂 That silly man in the background is my husband, Kevin. He is quite the character. ❤❤❤

[@EllenZotti]

Hi Lori and Justine! This is such a great episode, you are really entertaining and authentic and I can relate to you both. Lori, I too have lost my knitting mojo and it took months to get it back. Maybe yours will come quicker. I've watched you from the very beginning and you are my favorite. Identical...the hilarious My Cousin Vinny Movie which never get old.

[@egoreknits]

Last time I went to a movie there was a girl in my row who brought a crochet project.

[@TheSkeinScoopPodcast]

Love that! ❤❤❤

[@maryleedickson9159]

I’m itching to do something with the pressed flower pattern but maybe a purse/tote 😊

[@TheSkeinScoopPodcast]

Leave it to you, Marylee-that’s about the only thing that Amy hasn’t designed with that pattern. 🤣🤣🤣

[@annkathy257]

I learned about your podcast while I was watching one of Kevin and Ray's videos. After I watched the one that was your most recent (at the time), I went back and watched them all from the beginning.

[@YarnStorieswithOlivia]

I’ve been watching since the 1st episode 😊 and egg salad is something I only started to like as an adult. The turnout at the shop for Max and Vincent was great and I’m certain it will be just as much fun for Kevin and Ray’s trunk show.

[@TheSkeinScoopPodcast]

It was so great to see you, Olivia and I love seeing the pictures of your trip to Portugal. Looking forward to seeing you at the trunk show! ❤❤❤

[@denisekinsley3554]

Egg salad is great, tuna salad is ok, but egg in tuna salad? Blech! Thanks for another enjoyable podcast. I've been resisting the Pressed Flowers cardigan, but have discovered the pullover version and now I'm interested. Going to do a swatch to see how I like it with Kompeito (since the shawl I'm working on with Kompeito alone isn't quite doing it for me). If the test swatch works out I may need to pop on down to see what I can match with the Kompeito...

[@TheSkeinScoopPodcast]

You’re so funny, Denise! Please come and see us soon. We miss you!!! 🥰 🥰🥰

[@louannelamar5560]

Six months loved salad

[@kendram7511]

Loved the episode! My knitting mojo was lost for a bit, but I got a recharge after a gathering with knitting friends. Have watched you since Kevin & Ray mentioned you last year. I wish I was local to your shop! I’ll bring the egg salad 😉

[@Mariefb1980]

I found your podcast episode 18 but I loved it so much that I went back and watched from episode 1. I'm always so happy when a new one comes out and I especially love it when they're long ones. It's like hanging out with friends!

[@LindaNixon-ws4ge]

I just made egg and olive salad. Love it.

[@lindahoytmartin]

I have been watching since the start. Love you two together. Enjoy a good egg salad sandwich too.

[@TheSkeinScoopPodcast]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@patriciacrellin1744]

I have been watching for about a year and loving it! I have back-watched( if not a verb it should be!) every episode which are so inspiring and funny. Egg salad is GROSS, looks and smells like something somebody has already eaten and "rejected" if you know what I mean. Stay strong, school will be starting soon Justine.

[@jmcarella001]

[@TheSkeinScoopPodcast]

Welcome back!

[@Loveleione]

Good to see you guys! I knit all year round and the mojo is always with me. the downside is it’s hard to get any housework done! I’ve been watching since the Yarn Shop Girls. So I remember Lori joining them and then I became a fan of your current podcast. Starting to feel like a stalker here! 💜 And meeting you guys at Wool and Folk last year is still a highlight for me. It was great hanging with Lori at that nearby cafe. We were the knitting friends from Virginia. 🙋🏽‍♀️💜

Just think...you will have the joy of a black sweater without having to knit with black yarn.

I like egg salad if I make it myself. I think it's better if the eggs aren't completely mashed up into paste....because that is horrific. It's like already been chewed egg salad lol
