Shopcast

[@GraceDoolittle-j4c]

I’m so glad people are enjoying emotional support chickens, they do help (a little). Very interesting to hear Corinne’s vest modifications

[@Meredith36]

Corinne, I’m so sorry for your loss. Sending you loving, healing energy in a time of grief. It's another fantastic episode. Watching you guys is dangerous because it makes me want all the yarn and books. Happy Thanksgiving! Happy knitting 💚🧶💚

[@Lynn-qv2np]

😊Love all the specials in the store and you are both so excited about wool and knitting it I contagious.

[@suegallo4269]

I absolutely love looking at all the beautiful yarn colors behind you. Another great episode ladies!

[@jsimoneau4]

Thanks for all the inspiration! I've added some great projects to my queue!

[@francescabrescianini7565]

Thank you for the great segments...I appreciate Emma showing how he combs her wool. after watching, i ordered (from Bam fiberworks) the same board and clasps, it would make my life easier (I have the same combs). And thank you Kelsey for voicing what we don't dare to say sometimes...we do NOT have to knit(sew, crochet, weave....) just because we can !

[@janetchang7882]

The new John Arbon yarn looks wonderful! Thanks for another great shop cast.

[@lauraalicewatt]

what synchronicity -- I sat down this morning to knit a bit wearing my Hirne cardigan, and started up the shopcast and there's Maggie in hers! such a lovely pattern, and lovely shopcast as usual!

[@DanMaryCorbaley]

Corrine, thank you for your wonderful words of wisdom. You’re an amazing women!

[@jenniferbarrett3272]

Thanks so much for another wonderful compilation of great patterns.

[@deniseengel1451]

Thanks Corrine and Maggie for another Shopcast. Corrine I love the start of Nana Duck. Your daughter will treasure her.

[@bgbaltuth]

You guys make me giggle. thank you to is much needed. And I want all of it. Go Emma and Kelsey! Ruth is lovely too.

[@bags-by-carol]

Love a new shopcast and all of your contributors! Ruth’s crochet projects are always such fun and I love Emma’s new cozy pattern. Kelsey - such cute hat and stash colorwork cardigan projects! Wools that are a bit crunchy and rustic are my absolute favorites. Corinne - your cowl and sweater pattens are just stunning.❤

[@karenwashburn829]

Emma’s cup cozy pattern is the reason I was excited to purchase your J&S grab bag. I agree that it’s also a delightful way to swatch out new colors.

[@bettebarnett9740]

Loved the segment on combing the fleece and Kelsie’s hat. Really enjoyed my time with you.

[@margofey9402]

Love watching your podcast and seeing all the new yarn in the shop. Ty

[@patticlark9321]

Maggie and Corrine just made me smile.😊 They have such a wonderful rapport. Hope everyone at the Woolly Thistle is having a great day!❤️

[@dennisschneider4024]

Thank you for another great show filled with so many great projects to make🥰

[@lindapilla541]

My Emotional Support Chicken went to Maghaberry, NI. My daughter fell completely in love with her, but our little granddaughter likes to invite her for “tea!” It’s time to make another, but I really should FINISH SOMETHING FIRST! Argh! I’m finishing up my Dacite (Stolen Stiches - Carol Feller) just in time for our New Hampshire winter. It’s made from Lettlopi in a beautiful shade of blue. Maybe “Heaven Blue.” Thanks for introducing me to the joy of woolly knitting!

[@nancyrapoport5759]

I haven't missed one of your shopcasts in the three years since I joined the group. This is the first comment I've left because it is the first episode I've been able to watch on the Friday when it comes out. I especially enjoy seeing the progress on your projects.

[@diannemassie2169]

What a great Shopcast today, everybody was so much fun showing all their beautiful knit projects and what’s in the shop. You are all so knowledgeable and it’s great that you share this with us. Thank you 💕

[@estherrubin867]

Watching your shop cast just makes my Friday evening so relaxing and inspiring. Corinne, welcome to the joys of toy-knitting. Whenever I knit one of Cinthia’s patterns I just marvel at how clear and accurate they are and how much personality each animal has. Once the eyes get put in, the animal seems to just come alive. Thanks to the rest of TWT crew for all of your segments. My head is filled with inspiration. Thanks so much!!

[@blombvi]

I love my selection box!!!! Thank you. It’s my treat to myself.

[@mrsclaunch]

Love all the beautiful colors behind you 2.

[@francescabrescianini7565]

I really enjoyed Ruth’s segment and the review of the mosaic book with comparisons of knitted and crocheted motifs.

[@pammoriarty5176]

Delighted was the perfect word to describe how I felt when opening the Selection Box. I couldn’t wait to see what was inside. I am still enjoying just admiring all that yarny goodness in one place. I may have already added to the collection to make a vest. Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving.

[@JaynadeRoon-fw4yw]

Great inspiration as always. Gift knitting or not is all wonderful. Love Gudrun’s new hats and am thinking of the DK pattern! Thank you again for sharing your love of woolie wool!

[@DillyDahlia]

Enjoying your podcast while cozy with my knitting on a very rainy, dreary day here. Thank you so much.

[@thescottishyarnfestival]

I am so excited about coming back over to the US and visiting The Woolly Thistle!! I'm watching - while working another sample to bring in my DK - while the snow falls heavily outside here in Perthshire, Scotland. ☃

[@juliabass1242]

Corinne, so sorry to hear about the loss of your kitty. I have a kitty that is always on my lap when I sit down to knit so I know how much you miss her.

[@12stewieable]

Loved Emma's segment today! I know nothing about preparing a fleece for yarn, this is so interesting! Good luck on her upcoming marathon!

[@tinaw1612]

Just wanted to say how much I am enjoying my Selection box! I love the colors I received, and have great plans to make several projects from the suggestion card-possibly even a Christmas gift or two.

[@rylomom]

Corrinne-the Duck is adorable...welcome to toy knitting club🤩

[@DaveBenoit-d1e]

Love your store, nice to beable to come visit and squeeze the yarns

[@yearningforyarn9412]

Love how kelseys hat was matching her flannel!

[@FroggingNinja]

I'm so sorry to hear about your Kitty, Corinne. It's never easy losing a beloved animal that's shared your house for a time. Sending you hugs from NorCal. I was one of the lucky ones that was able to get my hands on this year's Selection Box. It is DELICIOUS! Thank you to all the lovely TWT staff for working so hard to bring such joy to my needles. You guys are the best!!!

[@lindsaymatthews5587]

Thanks again for a wonderful podcast!!

[@kgjelinek]

Love learning about your vest surgery, Corinne!

[@valeriebishop561]

Kelsey thank you so much for the thoughts about guilt about gift knitting! And the reminder about estimating yardage on the leftovers. I keep giving myself tasks to knit for others and its getting out of hand I think. It doesn't make me selfish! Thank you all to the WT team!

[@amyfolberg4515]

Such a great shopcast- I love Nana Duck!!!!!! The new (to TWT) John Arbon yarn is a true WOW. Maggie, please bring your fair isle sweater to the next shopcast - I'd love to see it!!!

[@Bobbie-qd8xk]

If you finish learning everything you can glean from the Fortrose vest and it isn't wearable you could cut it and sew it into a lovely bag! It's a beautiful pattern and I love the colors.

[@sueheck1051]

Thanks for a great show. Living in Arizona makes me jealous of all of you wearing beautiful woolly wools.

[@jessicawakefield4833]

Everything’s so beautiful

[@8Gammie]

Wonderful podcast, so full of beautiful things and great ideas. I want each and every new yarn you showed... thank you for being there, always.

[@rosemarynewman8716]

Very nice Shopcast! I loved all the “guests”. 1:14:03

[@valeriesugden718]

I always love watching all the excitement in your wooly world! Corrine, had the same problem in decreasing the arm holes when I knit the McCartney sweater which I turned into a vest. I usedJamieson and smith 2 ply and after I steeked the arm holes, I did cut it to decrease the amount of fabric and it turned out just fine!! I steeked with the sewing machine and have blocked it- I m wearing it now. Thanks for all your stories of knitting challenges and successes!

[@AidaBoza]

Hello Corinne and Maggie, wonderful shopcast. To the TWT team have a wonderful Thanksgiving 🧡🧡

[@cwolfpack3]

Always a good Friday morning when I've got my coffee, my knitting, and a new shopcast from the Woolly Thistle to watch!

[@judithmullin390]

Another great podcast for all of us to enjoy. Thank you to Kelsey for her timely reality/peptalk regarding gift knitting; yes, I was stressing about it and she set me straight. So many lovely new yarn brands I love the colors of the new Appledore Aran yarns and can’t wait to get my hands on it.

[@conniesimonich2327]

Just went in and ordered the grab bag. I love your yarns and great deals. Thanks for sharing. ❤

[@yessysdesigns]

I have quite a few skeins from your Wooly wool that I will have on my needles soon! Can't wait.

[@melanieoconnor6959]

I so enjoyed the shopcast today on a cold, wet day in PA. Such woolly goodness! I learned a lot from Kelsey and really liked Emma’s segment. The combing of her fleece was so good!

[@giantslug5427]

I knit a beautiful pair of mittens in Rauma for my aunt and immediately wanted them back after I sent them so I am working on a pair for myself! A double gift knit- one for my aunt, one for me :) The Rauma is from y'all of course!

[@nancyhamer1141]

Love your Hirne cardigan. One more for my projects list!

[@carlaburgoon744]

This was my first time to watch. Everthing was very enjoyable. I love love love books and am adding the Mouche and Friends and Mosaic Chart and Directory to my "want" list. I enjoy knitting and crocheting both of these type items. I am glad to know you sell books. Thank you! 🧶

[@julieknitsinthewoods2987]

Love it all! Particularly Corrine discussing her process with the vest and Kelsey reducing the pressure to gift knit. Human beings, not human doings!

[@bonnielincicome8055]

You’re big business in my book darlings 😊

[@meadowsweetfarmfiberartsdesign]

The beautiful yarns and the gorgeous knitted projects are so inspiring!!! ❤

[@stowestamp8262]

So happy to see all of you! Great info as always. Love the duck Corrine! And your fortrose vest! Beautiful! Good luck with sweater surgery!

[@lisadriscoll6264]

I originally found your shop 2 years ago while visiting Fairlee, VT, we go 3x a year. I was so disappointed your shop was online only and I couldn’t visit. Typically we visit over the holidays so I fear I may need to make a separate trip to visit the shop in person. I then found the shopcast and have been an avid shopper and water since. I am excited to open my December goodies!

[@sherrymarshall2747]

really enjoyed the podcast!

[@kathymccann8412]

I didnt know i needed an emotional support chicken! Thanks again for another fun shopcast.

[@fibernating]

This month turned from wonderfully beautiful 80 to snowy 20’s seemingly overnight. It’s double sweater weather! All the woolly wool from TWT --Now! Happy Thanksgiving and the beginning of Advent.

[@robinmyers8939]

Such a fun episode. Love the gift knitting, especially the duck. I am madly knitting socks for my grandkids, and knitting gnomes to give away.

[@Purlykitten]

Thank you Emma - great overview of using ‘bits & bobs’ for colorwork. That was very freeing as was permission not to gift knit. My gift knitting is clearing WIPs in process by end of the year and starting fresh in the New Year.

[@karenhager1636]

Oh, my; the Appledore colors are so pretty! Love Nana Duck - I need to knit those critters. I think Horatio (the donkey) will be first on my needles, when I get there. It is a challenging time, so I appreciate your Shop Casts even more.

[@natalyakaganovich5604]

Corinne, I think cutting away the knitted fabric around the armholes of your vest is a good way to go! In fact, some Scandinavian patterns tell you to knit the top of the sweater without any neck opening and then reinforce with a sewing machine and basically cut out a semicircle for the neck, which is similar to what you will be doing but just around the armhole. The vest looks so lovely - would be a pity to give it up! You can do it! 😊

[@caroloneel5690]

Corinne, your Nana Duck is already adorable, and I can’t wait to see her all finished! I have Mouche and Friends, but haven’t started any of the little friends yet and you are inspiring me to start! I have two sweet granddaughters who will love them, I just have to pick which one to make first 😊

[@TheWhitmore6]

Loved seeing all your knits ladies! Can’t wait to see the finished duck. And the stripey socks are magical. Love seeing the crochet as well and the fleece process. Another successful shopcast.

[@catnapper3923]

Fun episode - thanks! Love the J&S collection on offer.

[@karenc4488]

I've been wanting to knit an Emotional Support Chicken for some time, and this shopcast provided just the motivation I needed!

[@jbirdreed]

Sorry for the loss of your cat, Corinne. I remember your coop casts from back in the day; loved the sound of your chickens. All of the segments are wonderful and fun to watch. Love Emma's cup cozey and will definitely check that out. Thank you especially to Kelsey for the practical gift knitting advice. I appreciate your knitting words of wisdom!

[@robertacaruthers7568]

Yay duck knitting! I am ready to gift Hazel the squirrel myself. I really have to keep reminding myself it is ok NOT to craft for gifts. While nice (and I have some), I tend to drive myself crazy with the guilt, which sucks all the joy out of the season. So thank you Kelsey for your reminder.

[@eileentomaro768]

another great show

[@sherylunderwood9055]

Love your pod cast😊

[@belindaevans8022]

Enjoyed your shop cast! I am working on Horacio the Donkey (of Mouche & friends). Just love making these! Glad Corinne is enjoying Nanna the duck.

[@maureenbeckshaw9875]

Corinne you make me want to try toy knitting for the first time!

[@katherinevoght8133]

Such an enjoyable shopcast! Loved seeing Corinne’s Mouche & Friends duck. I’ve just recently purchased the book and two kits, getting ready for the arrival of a great nephew early next year! I’m now inspired!

[@amyrofgnknits]

I am new to the channel and enjoying your podcasts. Especially love all the special boxes and packages you offer in yarns we may not be familiar with.

[@patriciapamponette9841]

Love all your wonderful new yarny goodness, hopeing to get what I like for the holidays. Love your duck Coreen happy knitting.❤

[@jeangasaway9425]

Your shopcast brightens my day, thank you! I find that knitting comforts my soul in tough times and it is lovely to know others feel the same! I love the striped socks and didn’t see the yarn on their website, perhaps it isn’t available anymore. Happy Thanksgiving knitting friends!

[@ruth8268]

Thank you Kelsey for sharing the notion that we do not HAVE to knit gifts, if we don't want to. Happy Shopcast! Thank you!

[@CarolMorrison-q8q]

Thanks Kelsey for confirming my thoughts on gift knitting- never let it steal my joy! Knitting is peace for me, well, most of the time😉

[@SusanDampeer]

Love your podcasts!

[@SharonShain]

Corinne, my deepest sympathy on the passing of a precious kitty 🐈💖

[@10amTracy]

Corinne, I love your cowl!😊

[@sarahgalarza7420]

Emma’s segment was interesting. Not sure if that would be in my wheelhouse though. Love that shade of green she was wearing. Great podcast!

[@SharonShain]

I enjoy knitting. ❤

[@kathleenallan321]

I was born female in the 50s. Guilt was injected in the delivery room!!!😂 I lapped up all the crochet joy right out of the gate! It such a great feeling to find a book you know you are going to wear out. Your resilient attitude about your Flowers of Fortrose vest is truly inspiring, Corrine. I have absorbed that nugget of wisdom. Maggie, your DK socks are so delightful. I'm doing the same pattern with John Arbor Colorlab DK in a variegated colorway and love how it looks. Emma's segment was fascinating and love the mug cozy. Thank you for all your hard work, multitasking, and generosity. TWT is the bee's knees!!!

[@suebaldwin-way5327]

Thank you for a happy kickoff to the weekend before US Thanksgiving. It is a tough time and your company, the new ideas, and beautiful yarns in this episode really help. I finished a pair of fingerless mitts for the gift drawer while I watched and our first snow in Pennsylvania is falling. Great episode, good times, Thanks.

[@deborahstephenson9490]

Love your cowl!

[@terimason26]

I think I will try your Vanilla Sweater kit. I have not made a garmet yet but I think with your videos I could do it. Hoping I have some Christmas money coming!!

[@cnresearch]

Hi, I'm so excited for j&s sampler pack. I'm also looking forward for Agnus Kroft to come back in stock.

[@hellosunshine71]

Love the Shopcast... "It's a good thing!" like Martha, hahaha! You both are so funny. I always enjoy seeing what everyone is knitting. Kelsey, your cardigan colors are gorgeous!!!! That all plays together so nicely. Have a great day everyone!

[@annetteslade6045]

I loved seeing the Appledore Aran colors! Pig Snout is such a cute name and beautiful color. I knitted the Hudson Ripple Bandana in Appledore DK (Pig Snout) and loved it.

[@drea3556]

Love you guys ❤ always look forward to the shop-casts. Totally love that Corrine is knitting the Duck ❤. Love Gudrun totally loved looking at segments of her visit. She is a totally delightful woman and her designs are beautiful. Love all the segments totally enjoy shopping with you.

[@wendyrobards9089]

So excited about the new Appledore - and I just ordered a sweater quantity! Great shopcast as usual ❤️❤️❤️

[@LottaSocks]

All the woolly goodness! Saving up for J&S cones! Hard to decide which colors though! Prefer the “heather-y” blends, so yummy! Love the colorwork tips (ANY bits-n-bobs will do)! Thanks for everything! JA Appledore yarn colors…Delish! The names are a hoot!

[@tinagatti3155]

Always enjoy your podcast! I love seeing all the yarns and what you both are knitting. Very inspirational. Thank you 😄

[@bigblackdogfiberarts]

Nana duck is so sweet! I think she’s my favorite.

[@mariepreimesberger1898]

I just ordered the Baker's Dozen and a Cone of Jamieson and Smith. I've recently been working through the book and workbook Patty Lyon's Knitting Bag of Tricks and The Official Workbook. Fun!
