Grocery Girls Knit Episode 188 - FALL SWEATER INSPO ALL OVER THE PLACE! 

Thank you for including acrylic yarn and for supporting makers who use it. ❤

I was so excited when I saw this episode is over 2hours... WooHoo!!! Bring it on!!

Hi ladies, lovely to see you both and glad to see you both had a lovely time away. Beautiful yarn and goodies. Have a wonderful weekend xxx

Oh my gosh. Those cute little Apaccas. Thanks for sharing those pictures. We had a Llama and he would only spit when a certain person came along. I don't know why. Lol. What a fun 2 hour podcast and good grief such beautiful giveaway.

Can I suggest Jodi knits a yoke on a chunky jumper with that skein of delicious hand spun! So gorgeous! Love you guys! ❤❤❤

This is the only podcast I would sit and watch for over two hours. Your work is so beautiful and inspiring. I love Melissa’s designs. That cardigan is a classic beauty…💕

I will never look at an alpaca in the same way again. So much laughter. What a gift many thanks xox

The container store has Eagle Creek packing cubes & some are the compression ones. I use them all the time for travel. I packed for 10 days in 4 cubes in a 21in carry on suitcase.

Melissa's designs as classic and simply elegant. They are timeless and will always find a cherished spot in our wardrobes.❤

My allergis are bothering me.🤧 Took a med and was watching Needles at the Ready Podcast. I woke up to you two lovely ladies! I don't know how I found them to begin with, cuz I'm not a knitter. But, I loved watching. I love the talent of needlework. I never learned to knit, but can crochet a bit. Arthritis limits my hadiwork now. My husband knits! I always run hot, so I don't wear many sweaters. I love watching you two! Tracie strongly resembles one of my husband's cousins, and I appreciate the beautiful sister vibes. (I lost my sis in 2018 @ age 54.) So, I have subscribed to enjoy your talent. Serendipity!!❤❤

The Grey and pink sweater you're wearing gives off bad ass vibes. It keeps looking like it's your skin with those floral bits as tattoos!

I was at The Flock Fiber Festival in Seattle. It was my first yarn festival and now I’m hooked. I too bought lots of yarn and one of the Flock bags. I looked for you at the festival but sadly never saw you. I went both days and I think Sunday was my favorite. I was able to meet the two ladies who own Spincycle Yarn and they were just lovely and kind and humble. I was a true fan girl. You are right, Chip and Aaron from Fiber Hustle live in Seattle. They are planning on signing up for a vendor booth at the festival next year. I have one of Chip’s bags and some of Aaron’s sock yarn and I really like both. I live near the Tolt yarn shop in Carnation so I have of course been there. I’ve also been to the Lamb and Kid and La Mercerie on Bainbridge Island and your description of both are spot on. Loved your podcast so much.

Next time you go to Bainbridge Island, check out Bloedel Reserve. It's the most beautiful and peaceful huge garden I've ever seen.

Jody that colour in that sweater is so beautiful..

Seeing you both at Flock was a HIGHLIGHT for me!! You are so sweet and positive to everyone. Thank you for not running when you saw me gushing! I also had a great time there and purchased gorgeous yarn I can't wait to knit. I wish you had been able to go into JEMS Luxe Yarn booth to see their beautiful, colorful yarn! Their minis are amazing--especially the chunky ones. Your alpaca story was HILARIOUS! My husband and I went to San Juan Island for 2 nights after Flock where we stayed at a BnB that had goats and alpacas. Luckily we did not get spat on!! We went to an alpaca farm as well (where the alpacas were also well behaved), and I purchased alpaca yarn there that is dreamy!! I have also been to Tolt, and I've knitted with YOTH yarn, which is lovely.

I was SOOOOOO sad to miss the Seattle deck from Pacific Knit CO!!! I miss my home state!

Your alpaca story to funny😂 As always your projects are so inspirational!

Star Athena is amazing!!! Thank you so much for providing links as Jodi and Traci discuss things. Sadly I'm watching this a few days late so all the fiber hustle bags are GONE! Fingers crossed more are made.

OMGoodness, that Joji cable sweater is S-T-U-N-N-I-N-G!!! In black… ack! I wish I lived in a colder climate.

I totally agree that Joji writes the best patterns. She never over complicates the instructions. Love love.

Tracy! That hat is awesome! I’m in the middle of my breast cancer fight and before you said it I thought I would wear that hat when I loose my hair! I am watching y’all to get my mind off of my next treatment steps. I would be at the end of my fight but they have found a lymph node that was positive in my mid chest. I plan on watching y’all while doing my treatments! Love you both bunches!

We went to Flock on Sunday this year and had so much fun! I had to mail myself a box to my house in Northern California because I bought too much stuff. 😂 Definitely want to do Saturday next year because I feel like there were more people that day that I would’ve loved to have met and chatted with.

Love watching you guys ❤ just had bloodwork done. Confirmed. Menopause is over. Fire is out! Yee-freakin-haw!!!

I love listening to your chatter! y'all are so cute! That lovely art yarn would be wonderful to build a Kaleidoscope cardigan around.

Jodi, that sweater looks killer with your tats. It kinda replicates if you were to tattoo a sweater! Lol ❤

Today was a stinky day, but watching you guys made me so happy. Thanks for doing what you do 💕

Love love love both of your sweaters!!! You are both glowing beauties! Aloha from Honolulu, Hawaii

Tracey’s hat is beautiful all the sweaters are gorgeous but the yarn is absolutely gorgeous

Oh gosh! Jody & Tracy, loved, loved all the knitwear you wore & showed today !❤ Wish I had lots more knit time !

Hahahahaha!!! My husband and his best friend chased a runaway llama onto to the I-210 freeway in Glendora, CA! My husband's best friend got spat upon, but he described the smell as what you get when you leave a foul spittoon in the middle of the desert for a year or more! You're lucky with the alpaca!

My daughter and I went on Sunday and it was great - no big crowds at least in the AM. I got to check out every booth.

Thank you 🥰 Really enjoyed your episode. Love all your knitting and you are so fun to watch 😄

Have a great time in TO at the concert. I’m in Burlington which is west of TO. If you are heading to Niagara Falls, have a great time there too. Love all the knits and the wool. 😊

Hey girls, I just want to say how much I love tuning into you both. You make me laugh so much, what clever ladies you are with the beautiful objects you make. I live in from New Zealand and fair drool over all the products you show. Anyway, thanks for making my week. ❤

Hi Jodi and Traci, thank you for another enjoyable and inspiring live! You are both so talented! Beautiful yarns, finished objects and works in progress! Great bags too! Happy Knitting to all!

I love you two. I often don"t know what is going on either and that is the fun of life!

Thanks, ladies. This was a lot of fun. Watch out for the alpacas.

Loved your alpaca story! 😂 Please take a video next time you are “unsupervised “ at a farm.

Thank you thank you for mentioning Maui! The Hawaiian people are devastated and they will need lots of help for years to come.

Thanks again for a great podcast. What a lot of inspiration, love it; and now I want to start my Misurina and Solare and all the other sweaters too.😂🤣 Also what a beautiful items in your shop: I have just bought a When I sits, I knits embroidery kit and a GG Summer enamel pin.🤩

It was so lovely!💖 As always

Funny as hell those Alpaca pics!!!! Gorgeous sweaters!

OMG that first alpaca pic! 😂

So lovely to see you both, turtle dove cardi is stunning. I tested instant crush and isn’t it amazing. Can I highly commend Twinset and Purl to you - their Cecil shawl is amazing and they’ve just released a charity shawl called Maggie’s shawl - they raise so much for charity

Completely agree with you for how great and handy the Chip Baskets are and how Awesome! Aaron's colors are! @FiberHustle is great!

You guys crack me up with your spitting episode! Honestly I totally get it.. expected but not expected. And when something like that happens with sisters/bff’s what a great story to pull out and laugh about all over again!

You ladies are the best. Love your meno talk. ❤❤❤

Love the new hat Jodi.

Through some weird circumstances I ended up seeing Barbie 3 times in the same week. I noticed something new each time and I'd see it again in a heartbeat. Great message in the movie and well done.

Thank you for all of the Purl love!! ❤❤❤

I'm glad you guys had fun and those stickers are the best. Cerulean Orchid is a friend of mine.

Sage leaf extract is brilliant for hot flushes. My friend recommended it and I was quite doubtful it would work but it's fantastic! No more hot flushes ❤

wow! by the time i saw this one in Oz, Mrs Browns bag sets had sold out!!

I knit pink 'Barbie' socks for each of my three adult girls for their sister get togethers. Such a ton of fun.

Awesome. You are both such fun to watch.🎉

Wow such beautiful sweaters. Love love love the new joji patterns in all the fluff. Would love to knit up her new sweater. ❤ 🧶

For me....maybe next year! Looks like you two had a great time!😊

Rolling with Spitting Alpaca story!!

Какие вы замечательные! Очень красивые работы! Всех благ вам и удачи. Берегите себя ❤️

Great episode especially all the local Seattle area shops. My son, DIL & 3 grandkids live north of Seattle in Shoreline. I’ve been to the area several times including Bainbridge Island when Churchmouse Yarns were there. Also visited Tolt yarns (great shop), NorthWest yarns in Bellingham & other shops. The ice cream shop you mentioned is wonderful too. Our last visit we grabbed ice cream & ate it on the ferry.

Sitting here on my own laughing so much about the alpaca story. OMG 😂

Thanks for talking about up Norths evacuation, my step son's wife was flown out with kids and he had to drive with dogs on closed roads😢. Saturday Hat on my needles right now, awesome pattern Jodi.

I am 79 and I still getting them occasionally.

Yeah, I love Pacific Knit Co! I was hoping you'd show her Seattle Deck! I was lucky to test knit for her recently. I couldn't say enough about her decks and patterns!

Good morning knitting goddesses, wonderful way to start the day.

Love you ladies from here in Australia 🇦🇺 you make me laugh so much and wait patiently for your podcast 😂 I wish I was closer to enter your giveaway 🙂🧣

Yes I want to knit everything and want every yarn lol I would be in heaven at a fiber evert.😮

I do the over packing thing too!! Hi from south Australia

Thanks for a great show. I could immediately tell you had lots to say, show, share, and tell; that your Seattle trip was wonderful, and you have enjoyed your time away, but were glad to connect with us, and have been busy! Loved it ALL. Thanks for updates on the fires, we in South Dakota have had many days where our air quality has been bad from those fires devastating Canada, and the horror of Hawaii 😢 is beyond words. And yet, we unfortunately have climate change deniers. I’m always glad when you speak to the tough issues that we all face 💛 I see so many things I would love to attempt, but am really trying to be cautious of my fixed income in this inflationary time. It is such a joy to listen to you, and your sharing of knitting and your lovely friendships. You widen my world 🌎. Thank you💛

I don’t know if you follow Leslie Friend (A Friend to Knit With). She knits beautiful garments in gorgeous yarns, but she totally recommends acrylic for her Butterfly Baby Blanket and her Shrug Pattern which is knitted in Hue and Me. I’ve knitted two of them. Great for gifts when you don’t know how things will be laundered. I was surprised to find this yarn in the UK, and I was surprised how nice it is! It will make a gorgeous granny square blanket. I want one now!! I’ve just recently discovered granny squares and I’m totally down that rabbit hole. 😅 By the way, I also nearly peed my pants listening to the alpaca spitting story. 😂

Yes to extra hot flashes with caffeine

Jodi, those colors on you are perfection!

Frankie Grey Fibers has fab colors!

I’ve been taking evening primrose oil capsules to help w hot flashes and haven’t had any since the second day of taking them 💃🏻

I would love to be a sample knitter if I got to knit with Franky Grey Fiber all the time!

I looks beautiful, just like you both! thanks for podcasting !

We have been to Kirk’s Alpaca farm twice. It is close to Three Hills. Never been spat on. We usually only feed the females. You made me laugh.

Diamond Lane are her hand dyed yarns and Lamb and Kid is the commercial dyed yarns.

Yes every time you drink something hot and sweet. Or eat something sweet with caffeine you’ll get a hot flush.

LOVE your nail polish color Jody :)

One of my close friends just finished her last round of chemo for breast cancer a few weeks ago. She's just 34 years old. I'm going to purchase your pattern, Traci, and I'm going to be making her a beanie for her.

Yes. Hot flashes from Starbucks coffee

I was at flock fri night, it was a 45 min wait in line when I got in line 4:52p. Was so dang busy lol but so much fun. Couple laps around then a sit for 5. Ready to jump in and bee line for the targets. Don’t think explorer knits ever had less than 50 in line to check out.

Just joining now LOVE Jodies sweater. What is the pattern

I call your hat at 1.12 plum delicious!

I'm so glad you ladies liked the bags and I'm so glad they're going to go to somebody to love!

Love you sweater , Jody

So hilarious 😂 love the Alpaca story 😂❤

Oh the Solare!! ♥️🍃

You 2 are awesome. This is my first time here, and I will be back. Your content is so fun. I live in the UK and am wondering if your giveaways are international? You guys have amazing yarn that I can't get here, so I want to win some lol. The alpaca story is the best.❤

Tracy: hat name idea looks like a mini fan, “Sensu “👘

I laughed so hard!! I can’t even breathe 😂😂😂 love you ladies! And The stories 😂😂😂

What a fun episode! Jodi I love your 3 color yarn pairings of Frankie Gray. Can you suggest some patterns that would work

I'll have to go to flock next year, I live on the other side of Washington. I had major fomo

What is the magazine that the pattern is going to be in. And do you know when the magazine is going to be released. Thank you

Jodi you sweater is so beautiful! What are the colors? So good!

I just love your Turtle dove cardigan, the color!!! I have the Sonder Sunday Morning 4 ply, in the color Solitude, but cannot get the halo. Do you have other suggestions for a yarn and color that might pair well with the Sonder?

Your sweaters are both lovely. I'm a sucker for anything soft and fuzzy. But I can't help it Jodi, when I look at your denim colourwork on that almost flesh tone of pink, I was knitting when you first came on, and saw you out of the corner of my eye, and I thought you had tatoos all over your chest and shoulders. Lol. I can't unsee that now even though I know that isn't really what it looks like when I look directly at it. Its gorgeous. I should hav3 been directly looking at the screen when you came on. 😂

I'm watching this a month late and it appears that Yellowknife was spared from the fire. Still tragic for so many others.

Traci is it rude to ask which size of the Cardigan did you knit?
