Grocery Girls Knit Episode 195 - let’s have a knit night!! 

my underarm tip - when caston sts for underarm - - cast on 2 LESS stitches then pattern calls for. then in the next round do m1's (one at the start of underarm and m1 at the end of underarm) to get to the correct number. The m1's instead of the extra cast ons create less slack resulting in tighter neater underarm! I do this on thumbs of mitts too.

❤❤❤Thank you so much for introducing my ornament patterns! I almost got a mini heart attack when she said my name! How exciting!

My Grandma kept her tree decorated all year- she wrapped a sheet around it and stored it in a closed. The day after Thanksgiving she would pull it out of the closet, unwrap the sheet, plug it in and say “Done!” 😂

Wow that bunny is so cute, what an awesome gift for a little one.

Knitting your Breast Cancer cowl now. Your podcast is 2 1/2 hours of pure bliss. The two of you are so much fun. Sending hugs. 😊

1:29:02 I love watching you two. You make me smile, laugh while encouraging me as well. I always look forward to your shopcast. 🤗

I absolutely LOVED your sweater episode and I still have yet to make one! You gave me courage, inspiration and just so much fun watching! You two keep me company on many knitting projects, while I make my Christmas cards etc. Love love love you!!

I am so jealous of your retreat!I wish I could be with you on this trip!😢

Traci, the neckline of your sweater is so pretty!! The whole sweater is gorgeous, but, I do love that neckline.

Hi there! I can’t wait until you come to Juneau, Alaska on the cruise. I’m looking forward to meeting you at our local store - Changing Tides! ❤❤

Tracie - your sweater is GORGEOUS…and the collar is marvelous!!!! In your words, “I can’t even” ❤❤❤❤

Jodi your hat patterns are gorgeous! Traci love your sweater so much! Love, love, love your bunny!

Hi ladies, loved this episode 😊 Also so excited I booked the retreat in the Rockies for me and my knitty sister!!! Can’t wait!!!

I love the uneek sock kits!! I have made numerous sets, they are sturdy but cozy

Love Jodi's haircut!

Your sweaters are gorgeous, as always. (And I loved the sweater recap ep.) Sweater underarms can be a big challenge! I use the underarm technique from the Ranunculus pattern, now, every time. Nice and smooth, and not usually any need to dup stitch or otherwise snug stuff up.

Thank you wonderful ladies! You always give lots of wonderful information about so many different items. ❤

My friend and I went to Jones Road in Montclair this past week! I told the sales lady how you all are using it and Jody's eyeshadow was amazing. And... I am knitting Christopher Bunny's sweater right now. I made Christopher Bunny already, but I over stuffed him and had to put him on a diet. Thank you so much from New Jersey! Big hug!

A zoom night would be fantastic! Jodie, your stripped sweater reminds me so much of a Gap sweater from the early 2000s and I LOVE it!

One of our moves was in mid December. The movers boxed up the decorated tree last and the first thing they unboxed was the tree. My kids were so happy! For many years, I just reboxed the decorated tree

The highlight of this episode for me is Jodi grabbing a knife and stabbing directly into the camera. lmaoooo

Jodi your hair looks so good. You both are lovely. Such funny, beautiful ladies.

When I began knitting, a long time ago, I did not ever think I couldn’t do it! I just went for it. My 3rd sweater was an all over Aran knit pattern that was a difficult but I had a friend who helped me all the way.

Love this video! Love the hats and and those Pom poms are awesome!! Love everything y’all show and I spend so much on things you do but it’s all great!! Hats maybe for gifts this year!

I was listening to “WOOL” the first book in the Silo Series and there is a description of a character casting on a sweater, and it makes me want to get a tattoo of the shape of your hand when you are casting on. My friend also has a huge twisted skein of yarn on her forearm and it is so pretty!!!

I believe it was the wanderlust knitter who has a video where she casts on half the stitches for the underarm when separating for sleeves. Then when you come to knit the underarm stitches on the next row, you use the slack to make the other half of the underarm stitches. It works and that’s how I do my sweaters now 🎉

I SO love your podcasts. I feel like I am right with you while I knit. Thank you!! I am sorry I will miss the zoom this Saturday. That is the day we are having my husband's family all here. But, I will look forward to watching later. I LOVE Traci's bunny--ADORABLE! And, Jodi, your hair is looking really cute. You two exude such love--:)

Love the video as always. The bunnie is amazing. The new suri yardage is amazing. Your new sweaters are amazing. I’m a quilter and love that pillow pattern. Take care !

that book was fabulous

Just signed in - both your hair styles look fabulous today , cuts, color’ natural or not are so flattering , keep these going . Brava Babes

Received my very first Mrs Brown's bags today. Can't wait until Christmas to give it to my sister!

so I religiously watch your alls lives and I always love them. you all have brought up these gnome making kits a couple of times and I never wrote down the name of the business you all buy your kits from and I don’t remember at what point you all mentioned them bahhh. please let me know if you could! ❤

I love you ladies. Thanks for a fun, informative chat

I was very excited to see my Anarâš Sweater on here!!!🥰 Look forward to seeing the colours you pick and hope you enjoy knitting it! ...And that bunny is SO CUTE, I might have to make one now 😀

I’m a homebody too, Tracie. And the idea always sound so good at the time, but then I’m like, oh crap, I have to go to (fill in blank). That being said, I do get together with a group of friends often for a knit night as well as go to my LYS for a knit together weekly.

Always enjoy visiting with you two! ❤❤❤

That Toni Lipsey book on Tunisian crochet is great (great gift idea too) and Tunisian crochet is fun. I learned it a couple years ago and so far I have done tons of swatches and a shawl. But currently

Many years ago I took a natural dying class at a folk school in North Carolina. The instructor told us that the cochineal was from the female bugs. It makes the most beautiful colors.

To for the treatment Tracie. Prevention is better than the cure. My dear friend is being treated for colon cancer and it's grim.

Just ordered Nakano knives for my husband’s Christmas gift. He is always hard to buy for but he does love a good sharp knife. Thanks for the suggestion and discount! 🥗

Thank you for giving me reason to laugh and smile today girls. We had to let our 14½Yr old grey tabby girl Dusty go yesterday. I delivered her, so have had her since the moment she was born and am heartbroken 💔 xx

Hi Jodi and Tracie ! Yes your "sweaters show" episode was so good ! Thank you for this! Tracie, may I sugest for the saddle shoulder sweaters the Pure Fuzz by Eli of Skeideer Knits (in 15st/4in but I made it in a finer yarn and it went very well, I just choose a bigger size)? Also If you don't know about and would like to try to try the set in sleeves topdown constructions, without picking up stitches for the sleeves, Eli has the Floof sweater. For the set in sleeves topdown construction I recommend to use the backward loop increases, it's invisible and less tight than the usual right and left increases we see often for raglans. Because in the set in sleeves construction you increase on each round, not every two rounds... I love you both and I send big hugs from France !😀

Received my Wooly Winter Wonderland package today. YAY! Love it! So glad I ordered it. Lotion and sugar scrubs smell so good. Can’t wait to use. Thank you! ❤️

Thanks for the cute shout out! Love , the girl at Anthro💖

We ate Ruebans two times this week! I always use Boar’s Head corn beef!

Would love a zoom knit night!

1:53:37 that’s my knitting teacher and my knitting buddy! So proud of her!

A zoom knit night would mean that the knitters overseas can join in 🎉😊

Jodi - your hair is rockin’ ❤❤

Omg, loved the sweater special video. Do others with accessories. I have spoken, so you do it!

I recently met a group of knitters and crocheters at the local Starbucks...great way to spend an afternoon. Love meeting with like-minded people who know the terms, and don't just look at me with a blank stare.😂🧶☕️

Twisted rib gets me everytime!!! I am trying the Timber pattern and it's a very tedious.

That bunny is the cutest!!!

Jodi your sweater is so perfect on you .. great colors! Diane from clinton mo

I'm in for a PJ knit night!

YES! to a book club! I’ll help. 😊

Hello. I’m thrilled that I found you two. I loved the sweaters you showed in this segment. Both sweaters are just lovely. I’m wondering what brand and colorway did you use on the Alpine Autumn sweater? I know you showed one of the labels but I didn’t quite see it nor get exactly what the color was and I could not make out who makes the black cherry. I hope you both have a very happy v& healthy New Year.

My initials are JR lol love the bag nice shimmer

Susan is fabulous she lives here In Australia 👏🏻 her EXP sweater in fisherman’s rib is incredible as is her new design

Jody, I love seeing your natural hair color,very pretty!

Добрый день. Я из России. С удовольствием смотрю ваши видео! Вы и ваши работы мне очень нравятся! С Новым годом 2024! Всего хорошегь!😊

How do you work your stripes? Do you carry your yarn? Does it depend on designer’s instructions?

About knitting for others, a dear friend just askd me if I could knit a pair of legwarmers for her old tiny Sheltie who suffers from arthritis . Of course de doggy wil get her legwarmers ❤🐶❤

Jody please leave your hair like this. You look 10 years younger and much softer. It is wonderful. You look great!!!!

I’m excited to catch you all today!!

Jodi, you need to try Russian dressing on your Reuben!! I do Reuben’s in a bowl with Russian dressing I make. Delicious!

Y’all are the best. See you soon❤

Does anyone know if Jodi is selling that yarn she talked about that was baby alpaca, silk and cashmere? I don’t see it on the website. TIA

Traci! The podcast Ologies has an entire podcast about colonoscopies when the host had her first one and I thought it was interesting AND informative, if your looking for something to listen

Hello from New York!

What’s the name of the makeup place you were talking about

Traci, I know you're a knitting girlie and not a makeup girlie, but Jones Road is definitely not the first brand to release tinted balms. Salt New York comes to mind, but I know there are others. And I absolutely do not mean this in a mean way. It just made me laugh when you said that. 😅

I really appreciate the suri change! Every mohair I've tried feels prickly and getting that extra suri skein to match hurts a little, especially because everyone charges more for less with suri. THANK YOU!❤🧶💜

❤❤❤❤

Hello from a snowy Denmark ☃️

where do we purchase the J R kit? patricia / Edmonton

Hello from the Netherlands

Colleen@fairoakfarm Love the color combination so so much on Tracie’s sweater that I ordered both yarns and am knitting the Field shawl by Maxim Cyr.

PLEASE PLEASE When you show JOJI bags could you please put the label up to the camera for us English speaking knitters? Do you know how long I look on the internet for HOHE bags because I did not know she was Spanish speaking and lives in Argentina. Thanks so much!

where do we order the hat kits. patricia. Edmonton
