Shopcast

[@elizabethgranados8882]

Proud to say I know the Pennsylvania Knitters IRL! So cool to see them on your channel!

[@MaggieAF93]

Way to go, Shreka, from another new knitter! I've only been knitting since May and it's so inspiring to see what other newer knitters have accomplished. I am also lucky to learn from my amazing friend, the wonderful Emma, who is as enthusiastic in real life as you see her here, (though sometimes we do find her sitting in her knitting chair with needles flying, muttering "a cowl, yes...handspun, maybe...fair isle, DEFINITELY") 😂Such a joy to be introduced to this lovely community of woolly makers, thank you, Corrine and Maggie, for nurturing it!!

[@barnabyknits]

Turning everyone in my life into a knitter, one by one… 😁

[@TheWhitmore6]

So fun to see and hear all about your Rhinebeck adventures. Maybe someday I’ll see you there.

[@barnabyknits]

We would love that so much!

[@maryp1224]

Another Great podcast! Shreka and Barb - oh my goodness, such beautiful knits. Shreka, your knits are so amazing, especially since you are a new knitter! Your colorwork is just crazy good, I would so love to see what you do in '24! Congratulations to both of you for your ribbons; so well deserved!!! and 60 knits for next year! I have to step up my game, for sure!

[@TheWoollyThistle]

Weren't they a fun pair! Talented knitting machines they are!

[@scrabblehounds]

Next year is on my calendar to attend Rhinebeck. Loved all the little tips and tricks on your shop cast this week. Loved seeing Rhinebeck clips. Next year, when Shreka and I send in our video on our 2024 County fair entries, I’ll be sure to orient the camera correctly. 😮

[@TheWoollyThistle]

We can't wait to see what you enter next year! You were both a treat to watch!

[@katerogers5365]

Lovely and packed shopcast. Lots to love about it and about all the presenters too. I would love to hear more from Emma as she chooses colors and how to construct her Rhinebeck fair isle and especially her guernsey pattern as she develops them over time. Hopefully, future episodes to look forward to this year.

[@barnabyknits]

I will make sure you get to see all the progress! You can also tune into Tiny Desk Knitting, where I talk much more every week (mostly) about all the things I'm working on :)

[@trishadickshinski1473]

Always a pleasure to sit with you ladies and enjoy it all while I knit and drink my tea!!

[@barnabyknits]

Always a pleasure to have you with us!! Thanks so much for tuning in :)

[@caroloneel5690]

What a special treat to have two Woolly Thistle shopcasts in a row! I loved Caitlin’s recap of Rhinebeck, she did a wonderful job! Kelsey’s segment was very informative, she is full of knitting wisdom. Thanks, ladies!

[@amymorton-miller4050]

I learn so much for Kelsey. Thank you for all of your knitting wisdom! Thanks everyone for another great shopcast!

[@tracischieber4253]

Thoroughly enjoyed the shopcast. For someone who just learned about Rhinebeck in the last couple months and has serious FOMO, I enjoyed seeing it through your eyes! Thanks

[@barnabyknits]

We hope to see you there someday!!

[@annettemonty7350]

That is so great for Shreka award winning knitting projects and how wonderful to have a great friend Barb to teach her to knit!!!! ❤❤

[@estherrubin867]

Your Rhinebeck recap was a lot of vicarious fun, thanks! All those wooly blankets are gorgeous! How would one ever choose!! I really appreciate the segments from the WT team, you all are so talented. Finishing up with yoga is always a treat that I enjoy. Thank you for bringing so much wooly fun to the masses❤

[@kristendonovan5861]

Thanks for sharing about your Rhinebeck adventures! I love seeing all of the action and all of the fiber. I like to see how the fiber producers, artists & designers are all so positive and supportive of each other.

[@patmillett8056]

Thank for the Rhinebeck update. We live vicariously through you. The blankets are stunning! Keep the good ideas coming and the inspiration for even more projects.

[@aranjackson259]

It was lovely to meet you at Rheinbeck!

[@kristiwood2926]

Loved Barb and Shareka’s contribution! All of the blankets are so beautiful!

[@pegmcc9701]

Amazing! such a quick turn around from Rhinebeck! 👏👏Sharika!! An awesome pullover you are wearing and how lucky is that husband of yours to receive all the beautiful warm items! The blankets were amazing ..too many choices! As always Kim knows exactly what we need to keep our bodies happy with knitting! Thanks you all so much!

[@dorothypender8414]

What lovely blankets! I truly enjoy the variety of your shop-cast, and I'm looking forward to my next bundle of woolly goodness!

[@stephanieq23]

Rhinebeck sweaters. Are very nice. Very pretty. Beautiful yarns.

[@barnabyknits]

It's so much fun to plan and knit them!

[@Koko12714]

You all are just fabulous! I look forward to EVERY SINGLE EPISODE!!!!! I hope you get the much needed rest from the weekend Corrine 💕 Thank you for bringing such high quality woolen items to your shop, you really put a lot of thought into what you bring us for products and I greatly appreciate it. One of those Donegal blankets are on my wishlist. Warm woolly hugs to you all!

[@knithabits]

Meeting the both of you at Wool and Folk was a big highlight of that event. You are both so warm and welcoming.

[@babsbauie8614]

All great segments, and those blankets are amazing! I can't believe how many fair entries the guest contributors had!

[@joannemoseley8994]

Always a delight to see a new TWT podcast! I really enjoyed the Rhinebeck recaps…I’ve been living vicariously off all the Rhinebeck news this week. Maybe one year I’ll make it there!

[@barnabyknits]

we sure hope to meet you there!!

[@bvrlymllr]

Kelsey's segment was so informative. Emma has a brain that does not stop. Creative all around. Love those blankets. You all get some rest. Thanks again.

[@barnabyknits]

I certainly do...until it stops and I crash hard! My friends would say "you don't see her muttering to herself in the knitting chair..."

[@carolynworley1839]

Wow! This shopcast was a great surprise as I didn’t expect one this week. I loved hearing about and seeing the videos from Rhinebeck. It is definitely on my list for next year! Thanks Ladies-you made my day!

[@NHKnitter]

I really love the guest spot with Shreka and Barb. Their productivity and award winning is so impressive! I hope they contribute a guest spot showing their 2024 wins!

[@leannenelson6472]

Chock full of wonderful information yet again! Thanks for sharing Rhinebeck fun, as someday I'd love to attend. Thank you Kelsey for yarn storage strategies. Enjoyed each contributor as usual!

[@suebaldwin-way5327]

Thank you for giving us a glimpse of Rhinebeck. I’m glad the weather didn’t dampen your spirits or felt the wool. Great episode!

[@vedacrewe3977]

So awesome to see you ladies at Rheinbeck! Hope you all recover! I especially loved todays shopcast with both Emma and Kelsey talking about pulling out your yarns and playing with combinations. Nothing like enjoying your yarn and it’s possibilities! Thank you all for the community and inspiration!❤

[@katebollinger8815]

Ohh, this is my kind of episode! Barb and Shreka, congrats on cleaning up at the fair! One small addition to Kelsey's excellent segment is that I like to vacuum all my cubbies/drawers before putting my yarn away. As for Emma's sweater planning--yes please. I made a Stasis sweater in Jamieson's Spindrift using Eggshell as the main color and Teviot for the CC. So many great blues.

[@julieknitsinthewoods2987]

Love all the woolly goodness! So many great tips on colors and yarn storage. Beautiful

[@amyfolberg4515]

another great shopcast! I loved Barb and Shareka's video - what beautiful projects they made!! Love the blankets - especially now that there is snow on the ground. And Kelsey's idea for airing out one's stash is great, although that would involve coming to terms with how much yarn I have in my stash. Maybe if I only do one weight at a time . . . .

[@nancyhughes386]

Love the blankets and peak at Rhinebeck! Thanks for the yoga!

[@kathyp790]

Enjoyed the podcast and hearing about Rhinebeck. The Donegal Blankets are beautiful!!

[@10amTracy]

I always love Kelsey’s segments. She explains everything so thoroughly and gives reasons and explanations behind why things happen or why you would choose something or a way of doing things. 😊

[@nlturcott5168]

The blankets are wonderful and so many to choose from. Glad Rhinebeck went well and everyone had fun.

[@jessicaolney4900]

Yay! wow you two are troopers filming the next day. It was great seeing you all in person; and my Agi the sheep was a big hit I was pleasantly surprised, maybe she was the most photographed sheep there? 😉 Great contributors this week as always, and I heard Kelsi loud and clear and finally started re-winding my yarn cakes that have been sitting far too long back into hanks (thanks for the final push to get that done). Rest up and see you next time. 🍁

[@cdelaney5047]

So you didn’t want to just rewind them as cakes again? I get the swift and ball wonder out infrequently so have so far done a bunch at a time - my bad I guess

[@barnabyknits]

Agi the sheep was the BEST!! Sweetest little companion!! Thanks for watching and it was so lovely to meet you!

[@monicas1419]

Your podcasts are a wealth of goodness! I always learn something new whether it’s a knitting technique, pattern I need to knit or yarn I need to explore! Love you guys!

[@MultiKnitter]

Having never attended a 3day long wool festival I can only imagine being so invigorated and exhausted all at the same time once it's over. I will attend a 3day knitting retreat next weekend (the 1st since covid) and know I will be so geared up to knit ALL the things but my mind will be exhausted from all the learning. It is so wonderful to be with woolly loving people. Your newly designed Donegal Thistle blanket is lovely. NancyKnot

[@mandyrawlinson7687]

Everytime I see the bunting, it makes me smile!!! Enjoyed the video by the two ladies and their fair! Love seeing the return of those wool blankets! They are so beautiful!! As always, the podcast was great! Thank you ladies so much!!

[@TheWoollyThistle]

Glad you enjoyed it. It certainly was a full one this time!

[@nicolelafontaine1720]

Thanks for sharing your Rhinebeck with us. I loved Kelsey's segment on storing yarn. I love to see Emma's creativity in action. Thanks to Kim for the great yoga, what a stretch !!!

[@barnabyknits]

Thanks so much for watching - I love to have this community to share inspiration with!!

[@brendamorison8671]

I so enjoyed the interview with Gudrun and MJ, it did make me want that book. So many lovely patterns. Loved that you gave a shout out to Peggy and Amanda at the Junction Fiber Mill. Such a great story of their partnership and LOVE their yarn. Also nice to get a little update on Rhinebeck for those of us who just had to stay home and knit.

[@ruth8268]

A good shop cast! It was fun seeing Rhinebeck virtually. It's a trip worth planning for me in the future. I appreciated Kelsey's portion. I did not know what I now know about winding or not winding yarn. Love you all!!

[@annaschaal]

Thanks for another inspirational shopcast. I really enjoyed the tours and discussion of Rhinebeck. On the list for next year for sure!

[@meredithmorgan3606]

I really enjoyed the Pennsylvania knitters. Very inspiring for beginners and experienced knitters. I especially liked the knitting kinship between the two ladies! Thank you for sharing!!!

[@beebe7477]

Sharika girl!!! You rock the needles! What a champ. 🎉🎉🎉 Congratulations

[@deniseengel1451]

A very full podcast. Thanks for the Rhinebeck wrap up. The viewer segment was great. Both knitters had wonderful items and earned so many ribbons. Lovely Donegal blankets. Thanks also to Caitlin for her Rhinebeck video and Emma, Kelsey and Kim for their segments.

[@barnabyknits]

We can't do it without you! Thanks for tuning in :)

[@lindagesling9653]

Love the blankets! Once again your podcast inspires me for more colorwork and woolly knitting.

[@vlm3612]

I love your podcasts, seeing all of your finished knits, your interviews, and showing us your yarns. Also if I could I would purchase one of those gorgeous blankets. Thank you

[@alexisbriggs284]

Another great Shopcast, ladies, especially views from Rhinebeck. I really liked the segment from Shreka and (my apologies) her co-contributor. They did an awesome job! I would love to see more of those.

[@karenhager1636]

Always such fun to catch up! Continue to be amazed at Emma's work!!! Lover her latest sweater and cannot believe her skill at designing it. Waiting for the first snow of the season and dreaming of those blankets...

[@CathAlen7]

I am new to the Woolly Thistle. I love the shopcasts. Thank you for producing them. I am enjoy the tips and the yoga. I just ordered my first purchase. I am exciting to receive it soon.

[@galeannvandevoort6748]

Lovely shopcast ladies! Really enjoyed meeting most of you at Rhinebeck. Can’t wait to knit with Rambler. I picked up Golden Fern there, now to decide what to knit.

[@barnabyknits]

I have a skein of that color in Rambler too! So many possibilities... thanks for tuning in!!

[@shelleykrueger2951]

Wow what beautiful blankets. I have Rhinebeck envy. Looks like you had a wonderful time. Thank you Kim for the yoga practice. I’m waiting for a shoulder repair and the stretching was very helpful.

[@kathleenr.6549]

Another great shopcast. I love the opening shot of the bunting. The thistle one is particularly nice. Your vanilla fluff made me want to knit one for myself.

[@liesbeeckelaers3031]

Omg Kelsey is so knowlegable and i soooo needed this yoga excercises for my shoulders. So thanks you woolly thisle team!!!

[@karenh9337]

Another great episode! I was at Rhinebeck this year & I had to use a wheelchair to help move myself around. My partner Joe was pushing me & I was like, Stop, Stop, Back up! We had just gone by Corrine! We backed up & I was able to say Hi to Corrine on Sat & then I forgot to take a photo with her! It didnt occur to me! Maybe next year! It was a great day even tho it rained! I only bought 1 skein of yarn at Rhinebeck. It was the DK Rhinebeck Colorway (purple, white, orange, & more colors) from Miss Babs. I have never used her yarn before so I cant wait to see how it knits up! Happy knitting/ crocheting Everyone!!

[@maytheyarnneverend82]

Great episode 😊 It was lovely to hear about your Rhinebeck experience and Kelseys tips for storing yarn are very helpful. Now I‘m feeling really inspired to finally tidy up my yarn stash 😉 Happy Knitting!

[@DillyDahlia]

Thanks for sharing your Rhinebeck experience! I’ve never been. I’m glad you had a great time despite the rain!

[@cathyamos2269]

The blankets are gorgeous! Thanks for the Rhinebeck tour!

[@patriciabitting8934]

Thanks for another delightful Shopcast 😊 Emma, please keep us posted on the Gansey for your music teacher!

[@lindabrabant5744]

Thank you for an other beautiful episode. Beautiful blankets!

[@majellacorio4455]

I think I might need to do a video for you guys. The video of Shireka and Barb was incredible, 50 entries in a year! Wow. Congratulations ladies.

[@bicyclist1693]

I love my Donegal blanket and am looking forward to buying another. They make wonderful gifts. Carol P.

[@mabellekirk3316]

Love the shop casts. I always learn something new although I've been knitting many years. It was so much fun taking a little tour of Rhinebeck and seeing what you bought.

[@ruthannbull6515]

Fun podcast. Nice seeing all the sweaters at Rhinebeck.

[@Nicole-pg3mr]

Hello! Thanks for another great shopcast!

[@astridafklinteberg298]

We got to Rhinebeck late, so we missed you!!!! Next year in Rhinebeck!!!!!!!

[@debthesensiblestitcher6990]

Loved seeing all of the beautiful knits from Barb and Shareka and the segments from Kelsey and Emma were wonderful as always. Hoping to make it to Rhinebeck one of these years!

[@juliabass1242]

The blankets are beautiful. Thanks for another fun episode.

[@sunnyw4148]

Another fun show. Love the stuff from Rhinebeck since I was unable to go. Sharika's sweaters were amazing.

[@SharonShain]

I look forward to watching the podcasts. Today, I am crocheting Autumn Splendor Afghan. I had a great birthday. Thanks for all the birthday wishes.

[@janethogan8387]

Great podcast! Love your colorwork vest and sweater! Such stunning colors.❤❤❤

[@jennyfitzpatrick994]

The weather turned cold here this week with our first frost so I’m dreaming of curling up under one of those fantastic wool blankets!

[@kathleenallan321]

Wonderful episode! It was fun to watch Rhinebeck "hangovers" play out 😊 The blankets are so beautiful and cozy looking. If I could only manage to send one to each of the Lewiston families whose loved ones were killed! (And Mouche Friends to the kids...)

[@annecotellessa3834]

Thank you for another great shopcast!

[@donnabriede7733]

wow, I was just thinking how stiff my shoulders were when the last segment started about yoga 😊. Thank you for a wonderful shop cast!

[@desnayoung4704]

Fridays are so great cause you're in my email! And those ladies from PA??!!!! Impressive. Super interesting to see the Rheinbeck peak. Thnx for that Caitlin. Cheers and happy knitting.

[@themaidenoflight]

I loved the Barb and Shareka contribution! What an amazing friendship and inspiration, she has come so far for only 2 years of knitting!!

[@deloresjackson437]

Lots of good stuff, as usual, packed in this episode. I loved hearing your Rhinebeck Roundup, Emma’s enthusiasm, Kelsey’s storage tips, the beautiful blankets, Kim’s useful shoulder yoga practice, and of course visits with you two. Cheers!

[@barnabyknits]

So glad you loved it!! Thanks for watching!

[@susiewhittaker4816]

I love watching your podcasts! I learned so much on this one. From Rhinebeck to how to store my stash haha! Please keep doing these!

[@nancygrillo6382]

Great episode. The blankets are gorgeous!!

[@virginiasattler-reimer9554]

Wow, those blankets are stunning!

[@FroggingNinja]

Really enjoyed seeing all the goodies everybody scored at Rhinebeck. Hope to make it to the festival someday in the near future. Love seeing Shreka and Barb with some of their winning knits. What a beautiful friendship. Thanks for sharing!

[@bekahfisher3614]

Thank you for another evening of good company while I work on an utterly eternal knit...a cardigan on size 1 and 2 needles. Today you got me through several inches of double-knitted applied buttonband! I hope I didn't get any drool on my yarn over those blankets that you showed - but they ARE droolworthy.

[@lesamatthes7811]

Enjoyed the whole shopcast!!

[@knitssinprogress]

Love the podcast and the info on wool storage . I learn so much…

[@Leigh1131]

Thank you for yet another great episode. Never been to Rhinebeck as we are out in California. Not made the trip yet - we do have great festivals out here too! Love to see the two knitters who won so so many prizes for their knitting projects - and only two years knitting? Wow!

[@catnapper3923]

Rhinebeck sounds like so much fun - glad you had a good experience. I ❤️ New York (to use a phrase). Xx

[@knitgirl.7676]

Great haul…but no FOMO here. I don’t love the crowds- and I heard Wool & Folk was a disaster. I will be going to a local fiber festival in Frederick, MD tomorrow and hoping to shop some of those vendors who lost money and of course, stopping by Magpie’s lovely flagship store! I stick with local festivals- MDS&W is my limit. That is a good one, if you guys ever want to venture south. It’s in May so you don’t even need to knit a special sweater. 😂

[@barnabyknits]

I will be at Frederick today too - please say hi if you see me!!

[@knitgirl.7676]

@@barnabyknits cool! Will do!

[@trishasmith1758]

I love those socks. I don't know if I would have the patience for socks that fancy 😂

[@kathleenschlappal3421]

Another great episode. Grateful that you filmed the day afte Rhinebeck just for us❤ Loved hearing from Barbara and Shareka - amazing knits from both!

[@silchusilvu]

Love the show!! Thank you for such a lovely episode xx

[@karenstewart7300]

What a wonderful way to start my day! I’m recovering from foot surgery and am sure enjoying your podcasts!

[@TheWoollyThistle]

Glad we could be a bright spot in your day! Imagine if it was hand or wrist surgery...that would be the worst!

[@LottaSocks]

Very nice to see allll the segments! Always learn something new, always want to get more yarn/goodies! Currently shawl knitting, fairly monogamously, socks waiting for cast on & vanilla sweaters in color planning stages. Thanks for a wonderful woolly morning !!

[@anitadollmanits]

i love every episode of your shopcast! love non superwash wool too!😊

[@TheWoollyThistle]

Glad you're a regular viewer! Woolly wool is the best, isn't it!

[@cdelaney5047]

I just found a bunch of great Rhinebeck festival videos to watch and enjoyed the what not to do storing yarns video too. I will be a regular viewer from now on!

[@TheWoollyThistle]

Welcome! We're glad you found us but even happier that you've stayed! See you next episode...

[@DianeBianchi_MnWx]

It was great fun seeing the Rhinebeck event! I love the blankets, it would be so hard to choose one. The ladies with the fair entries wowed me! 50 items!

[@TheWoollyThistle]

It's hard for us to choose our favorite blankets too! Although we're partial to The Thistle color...

[@patriciashetler4736]

I have not been watching the Woolly Thistle channel regularly. But what a WOW with Sharika and Barb! Look what a dedicated knitter can do in two years! This was so motivating and I am looking forward to placing my next order.

[@stephaniefroelich267]

I love your blanket selection. Will be looking at them for Christmas presents.
