So fun to watch your podcasts. What a great friendship, and fabulous knitting!

[@debreeves8923]

Missed live this week, camping with no internet/cell service…sweet silence. Catching up today and enjoying the chatter!

[@KnitsnPieces]

Thanks for catching up with us ❤️

[@elaineenstone6834]

Great to catch up with you and your knitting progress. 🇬🇧

[@KnitsnPieces]

Thank you! 😊

[@lisaml7411]

Missed you gals on the live since I was camping and had no internet at all. 😮 I’m like Kelly…. I seem to always forget something I need in a project I travel with so darn, I have to stop in a yarn shop to get it! 😂

[@KnitsnPieces]

I’m getting ready for my month long trip and deciding what to bring, luckily there are lots of knitting places in the route 😂

[@sharonkeane4614]

Love your marker trick for helical knitting! Think I’ll just string together a few lightbulb markers so I can do it now.

[@KnitsnPieces]

Great idea Sharon!!

[@sharonvanpelt6005]

Wish I could catch a live but I definitely look forward to watching the episode the following day or in this case 2 days later. I added some new sock patterns to my library from This Handknit Life. I tried the Alternating Cable CO and I’m sold. Currently working on the Zorzal shawl as a pallet cleanser and trying to decide which tee to cast on next. I do like the little bandanna style scarf especially as a gift idea. Thank you both and I hope you both have a great week.

[@KnitsnPieces]

Thanks Sharon, I love the alternating cable cast on and will be using a lot. I have knit several patterns from This Handmade Lie and rely enjoyed them, there are several others on my list.

[@diannecalcutt7453]

Thank you for all your great knits! I love the black sparkly one Kelly! I live on the East Coast, maybe I'll see you in your travels Noelle, there is a wonderful yarn shop in Moncton, if you are in that area.

[@KnitsnPieces]

Hi Dianne, I just found out about about Woolstock East and plan on attending, are you going?

[@diannecalcutt7453]

Good morning, I was wondering if you had timed your trip so you could attend the PEI Festival! Yes, I will be there with a few of my knitting friends. I hope I see you there!

[@diannecalcutt7453]

Wait, sorry I read that wrong!! Woolstock East is in Tatamagouche, NS. No, I won't be at that one this year!! I've heard it's a good one though, enjoy!!

[@sarahb4330]

Happy knitting 🥰 Knitchat day is Wednesday for me, look forward to it for sure!💖

[@KnitsnPieces]

Thank you Sarah! Everyday should be a KnitChat Day!

[@vadec5909]

I am watching this Wed night too. Its so great! Your finished objects are awesome and your new knitting. I love the yarns you suggest. I cant believe all the sweaters you both do. I am just getting very close to finishing my first sweater. And I plan to do another. Thanks ladies. Miles is a cutie!!

[@KnitsnPieces]

Thank you so much!! Congratulations on your first sweater, and that’s amazing that you are already planning your second 💗

[@teenera3064]

Yes summer has gone by too fast this year 😭 The only good thing about that is the sweaters I've finished this year will finally be able to be worn!!

[@KnitsnPieces]

There is no shame in looking forward to sweater weather…we are!

[@ruthannbull6515]

Started watching last night and just finished the podcast. Thanks for sharing. So much fun. Miles is a doll, hug him up Gigi!

[@KnitsnPieces]

Glad you enjoyed it! And Myles is getting all the smooches this week!

[@user-ec9go7qz7y]

Love your podcast very informative Pauline from Tennessee

[@KnitsnPieces]

Thanks so much Pauline! We enjoy spending time with so many wonderful knitters!

[@Taxistickan_]

The transition of the name of that scarf (sorgenfri tørkle) from Norwegian to English is… Sorrow-free scarf If someone wonders ❣️💖

[@KnitsnPieces]

That’s awesome, thanks for the info and what a great name!!!

[@Taxistickan_]

@@KnitsnPieces Really agree 💖💖

[@Taxistickan_]

😂😂😂 Transition 😂 auto correct … it supposed to be Translation

[@karenrancourt6812]

With loving tin can knits, have you downloaded their app?

[@KnitsnPieces]

I just checked it out Karen and I am going to give it a try, will report on Tuesday

[@NYKnitter]

Love these podcasts, would not be the same if you weren't here glad it wasn't canceled, look forward to them since I found these. Such a young grandmother

[@KnitsnPieces]

Thank you! We do our best to stay to schedule where ever we are and we would miss our weekly visits too!

[@sandycross3343]

Socks - excuse my ignorance, this is coming from a non-sock knitter, but I’ve discovered General Hogbuffer socks on Ravelry, which look rather interesting and I could be persuaded to give them a go. There are a number of free patterns, and I’m wondering if you or anyone has knitted them, and degree of difference/difficulty in construction used. ❤️ Love ur podcasts. Best wishes.

[@debreeves8923]

I knit Gladys this summer. They were fun and satisfying. The cabled pattern looks complicated, but it isn’t.

[@KnitsnPieces]

I checked out the patterns, thy look amazing, we will ask on Tuesday if anyone has used these patterns, I plan to in the future

[@sandycross3343]

@@debreeves8923 Thank u. I might try out the Gladys first, but I’m really rather keen on the Funfetti. Being a simple stranded using left-overs I’m hoping for a thick warm pair with lots of color.

[@katywuste9054]

The field sweater is absolutely gorgeous and loving the acorn sweater pattern can’t wait to see them both completed

[@KnitsnPieces]

Thank you Katy, both patterns are a joy to knit!

[@mongrain8934]

❤❤❤

[@sandracroley9784]

ooh, I'll need to try that Lush yarn! Maybe a Ranunculus....maybe 3 skeins for a size 4??? I'll figure it out 😊

[@KnitsnPieces]

It’s amazing yarn to work with, I’m thinking I would like a cardigan in it, so light yet warn. I think it will make an amazing Ranunculus

[@kymdelmar9304]

I just cast on purl Soho‘s classic ribbed hat using the alternating cable cast on. I love the look! I definitely needed to pay attention to stay in pattern, but it’s worth the effort.

[@KnitsnPieces]

Agreed Kym….it’s life changing! ;-)
