Episode 8 - Fo's, Trips, and Wips
Good Morning (if it is also morning where you are)!
It has been longer then usual (a trip, some pesky colds, and uncooperative technology got in our way), but we have recorded episode 8 finally!
You can find it here.
In this episode we talk about our finished objects, and what we like about them. We also talk about a recent trip to Montreal. While we were there we stopped by the yarn shop Espace Tricot, so we discuss that visit in this episode (and show the skeins that came home with us). And of course, we discuss our wips (there are always wips). We have a few new ones on our needles that we haven't shown before. Plus, Vivian explores test knitting.
Shownotes:
FO's:
Jennifer finished her Mara Shawl.
Vivian finished Carbeth.
Jennifer finished her yellow socks dyed with onion skins
using catskill merino yarn
Trip:
Yarn we bought at Espace Tricot
We each bought a few skeins of Lichen and Lace.
(Jennifer fell hard for the sunburnt lobster color way.)
Jennifer bought Rauma Strikkegarn (and their color card too). We were unable to find a website to link to them, but Rauma is on Espace Tricot's website.
Vivian bought a cone of Julie Asselin's yarn.
Vivian also bought two skeins of Knitting it up (dyed especially for Espace Tricot).
We also visited Lunch à porter and bought small furoshiki cloths and handles to use as project bags.
Wips with patterns:
Vivian is working on her Penicuik Shawl by Justyna Lorkowska.
Jennifer is working on her Thrummed Mittens by Toronto Knit Cafe.
Thank you for watching! :)

Episode 5 - Processes
Hello!
We've just posted our latest episode up on youtube.
You can watch it here.
In episode 5 we discuss our process for picking the pattern we want to knit and choosing yarn, or picking the yarn and then needing a plan for it.
It seems we each have a different process, and we'd be so curious to know yours.
Where do you begin?
What do you pick first? Your yarn or your pattern?
How do you pick your pattern?
How do you choose your yarn?
We would be genuinely interested to know what your answers to these questions are.

Episode 4
Hello Hello,
It is time for a new blog post because we have made a new episode.
You can find it here.
In episode four we discuss our none-me-knits, knitting community events, such as the yarn crawl and Rhinebeck, our appreciation for (knitting) books, and the speed of knitting today.
We hope you have something on the needles and can join us for half an hour of talking, thinking, touching (and smelling) wool.
