Grocery Girls Knit Episode 78 

What is better than two goofy sisters to watch on a rainy Nova Scotia day? You guys make me laugh out loud.XO

I also had a ton of leftover yarn from knitting socks and decided to crochet the granny stripe blanket. It truly is beginner friendly because I don’t crochet (I tried it once many years ago and did one item and never did it again so I was truly starting as a beginner). It is so easy and quick and mindless and is using up tons of leftover yarn. I would recommend it.

The pom poms are just like Fraggle Rock people. Your knitted inventions are superb, love the shawl and socks very!

For a scrap blanket I highly recommend the Northeasterly Blanket! It's a lovely arrow-like pattern and it's so simple and fun to knit! I tried a cozy memories blanket and just could not deal with all the squares. Also it has a complimentary pattern called the Southeasterly that has extra textures you can use in the blanket! Brioche, eyelets, seed stitch, etc. So if you get bored of garter you can add in some fun textures.

Love, love, love the socks!!!! Can’t wait till it comes out.

I love to watch you two! Please don't feel embarrassed about your skin issues. I love that you're so real with everyone. :) My son has great success with Eucerin cream for his eczema. He gets huge red patches all over his chest and arms and it works amazingly well to control the redness and itchiness without steroids. He's actually managed to be rash-free for a few months since he started to use it daily, which is a good thing because we are in Florida and it's swampy and muggy and icky here.

Hey Jodi I love the new shawl. I think you should call it Morse Code. 😊

Omg I am in love with Jodie’s new Shawl. It reminds me of an old fashioned movie reel. I would name the shawl “Silent Movie” .

I think Jodi should name the shawl "Don't even" or "I can't with names" Hope yall are having a good day

Hi Ladies! I wanted to say I LOVE your podcast. My mom taught me to knit as a kid, but wasn't super into it. Taught myself how to crochet in high school and played with it on and off through the years. Just last summer, went on a trip with my mom who had always wanted to learn to knit socks. So, while on vacation, we when to LYS and I picked up some supplies to give it a try. Thanks to youtube, I knit my first pair of socks (toe-up shorties with a FLK heel). That was it - I was addicted as they say. Since then, I've found your podcast (working through all your past episodes) and my mom STARTED HER OWN PODCAST! What?!? (Knit, Purl, and Squirrel with Granny Dee Thompson if you want to give her a look). Anyway, about to go on vacation with my mom again, and you've inspired me to try a sweater! SO, what do you think would be a good starter sweater? I don't do any colorwork yet, so looking for something simple. I live in south Florida, so something lighter would be best. Thanks for being so lovely and real. I giggle along with you in every podcast. Love, peace, and yarn. Lyndsay :)

That shawl is beautiful! Love to knit one, well was just sitting down to watch RU-vid some knitting channels after being out in the yard all day working, I came across your channel you girls are hoot made me laugh you both are Awesome! I live outside off Chilliwack BC . ladies you made my day thanks! Enjoy your video and about your trip, just Subscribed to your channel...

The Fibre Frolic was so much fun! I drove up with my sister from Saskatoon mainly just for the Frolic 😄 We bought a lot of yarn, my sister even bought a few and she doesn’t really knit yet

That shawl is so incredibly gorgeous! So glad to have found your channel! Y'all are so cute!!

You ladies!! Such enablers ....so many projects to knit .....great ideas and beautiful yarn to drool over 💕

Tracie & Jodi you girls are so much fun to watch, I never made sock before and watching your show I decided to make some , I will have one sock made this week, I knit the magic loop way but I can't figure what to do with the other sock when I am doing the heel gusset. Keep doing what you do you make me laugh. thanks

Love the new shortie socks! Can’t wait for the pattern. I live in AZ and only wear shorties in the winter, no socks in the summer. 🌵

Names for your new shawl - "Jodi Kisses" because of all the x's. Looking forward to giving that a knit! Tracie, I love you showing us your designs. This is where I come for inspiration, so keep it up Sista! Big Nob!

I love watching Jodie with her cute hat while I am sitting hier in Bonn, knitting topless and sweating mao in 38 degrees celsius....knowing that winter will come .....best season for every knitter.

You did just miss both the Shindig and Fibre Fest. They were great and had so many great local entrepreneurs. Jodi! I love your shawl 😍 it reminds me of summer, on the coast in a beach house. It’s so chic. I suggest calling it “breaker”

I don't even know where my brain goes, but when I saw Jodi's shawl, before you even mentioned a name, all I thought was morse code. Something in it reminded me or those dots and dashes. Whatever you call it, I love it and I can't wait for the pattern.

I just love you ladies! I almost never have enough time to watch you all at once, so I get you in threes doses!! 😍😍😍

OMG! You have no idea how excited I got to see you uploaded a new video! I love you guys🙂

Jodi, I don’t have anything good for a name for your shawl but can’t wait to knit it! Tracie, those stripe shortie socks...I can’t even!!! If you need another tester for those I have the perfect yarn in my stash 😉Love your podcast ladies and can’t wait to see what you come up with next!

I can’t wait to knit both of your shawl patterns! They are gorgeous!

I watched this while working at my dining room table (AFTER already working a full 9 hour day). Thanks for keeping me company and making me laugh. I would much prefer if you began your podcast, “What up, Bitches!” Not necessarily PC, but a super fast ice breaker! Loved it! You two are so genuine and it makes everything you publish so comfortable. ❤️👍🏻🎯😘

Love your podcast... could watch you for hours!!!! The Odd Sheeps Poms are the best... (I laughed out loud when you said they were like muppet pom poms). The shawl and Sox are both awesome!!! Name ideas escape me!!!

Another good one, love the cross stitch kits.

The road to happiness. The shawl reminds me of a road.

So love the hat Jodie! Super cute on you! Name of shawl..... Georgia, we’re podcasting! You two!..... I can’t even. I so so look forward to these Fabulous - fun- fun times watching you guys! Thank You!!!!

Introverts unite!!! I’m just like Jodi, where I just struggle to leave the house but I always have a great time after I get wherever. The new shawl is as beautiful as expected. Name: Carbon drops because the slip stitches look like rain drops. Love your shorty socks Tracie! And love the giveaway! As soon as I saw that Finley yarn I thought, Perfect for the new Carbon Drops shawl! (Saw what I did there?)

I tested Love Note and it was so fun and fast. I held two fingering together and got gauge (merino and silk by Indigodragonfly).

Synchronicity -- I'm knitting my first Jodi shawl, and got a FAB knit bag from Mrs. Brown in the mail today. Love you ladies!

Another great podcast, you always brighten my day! Love love that hat, the Yarn and Pom Pom, so much fun! And in the forgetful arena, I forget everything too, I like to call it Part-timers 😬 Happy Knitting!

"slip into my stripes!" OMGOSH that's what I would call it. I love it 😍

Morning from Adelaide in South Australia. I was excited to see you had posted, I giggled hurried up and made coffee. Hubby ask what was going on and I told him "My knitting home girls posted"

"shadows and light" or "dusk to dawn" for shawl names. ("slip me one" is probably too naughty)

This was my first episode, and I'm so excited!!! Jodi, I'm glad you left the hat on throughout. It is such a fun and inspiring hat! Looking forward to catching up on back episodes and watching more.

New shawl, really cute! "Walk the lines shawl" suggested name! Tracie you're knocking it out the park with your sock patterns!

You girls are just so fun to watch. I love your knitted Items. Jodi's shawl is gorgeous you should call it "Classic evening out" That Take a hike flamingo yarn is soooo Awesome. I do not know what I would make with it and I can't afford it right not but I just LOVE it.

Jodi you could call the shawl "Midknit Comfort", giving credit to the yarn dyers. Or even "Midnight comfort". It looks cozy and drapy, it would be great for late night parties, or cuddling on the couch with popcorn and a movie! Whatever name you decide will be amazing I'm sure. Great job!!

Love the shortie sock! I have tons of self-striping and minis that need to be knit up, and these are so pretty. I can't wait until you release the pattern! I would be more than happy to test knit for you (though I'm sure you have tons of volunteers).

Jodi so many amazing name choices to choose from ... when I first saw your shawl thought of “Blurred Lines”....Cutting out sugar n any products with corn syrup helped clear up psoriasis. Might be worth to give it a try. ❤️ the podcast!

That shawl is gorgeous! I live in Australia in the sub tropics and at the moment it’s like 8 degrees Celsius. I need that shawl! I would name it NAUGHTS & CROSSES (named mainly for the look of the stitches but you girls are always naughty & crack me up). Much love.... Donna

Another fun podcast. The pom, poms are hysterical. You guys get me into so much trouble... major yarn enablers... oh well....Thanks for everything...looking forward to your new shawl patterns.

I agree with That Goth Cosplayer in naming it " Don't Even" Shawl.

Since you love indie dyers and love trying new to you yarns, have you seen LolaBeanYarnCo yarns out of Georgia? Her colors are INCREDIBLE, her Instagram is beautiful full of inspiration and her beautiful family and her baby girl, she is an incredibly hard worker and her husband is always there to help. I will surely be buying some of this yarn in my future!!🥰💕

I pretty much solely use fingering weight for sweaters/jumpers, and cardigans. I won't go to lace. Yet. But I prefer to wear and knit with fingering!

Just FYI, the Northeasterly is a pretty fun scrap blanket. Love the new pattens, girls!! Can’t wait to see them on Ravelry. 😍

Being a cross-stitcher as well as knitter, the first thing I thought of looking at Jodi's shawl was 'the Cross-Stitch Shawl'. Love you guys!

HELLO!!! I watch all your old videos im new to the podcast thing, and I Cannot knit if I havnt got your video on!!! Im such a big fan and you bring me so much happiness and inspiration. Love from england x

Lovely shawl Jodi. Reminds me of chalk marks on fabric when making suits so how about "Tailored Stitches Shawl" Nice to see you smiley ladies again!

Oh my goodness! A little shout out from my two favorite knitters. Love you both so much. XOXO Judith

Hi Jodi! My two cents on naming are either 'Duality' or 'Pebbles and Light.' Either way, it's a beautiful shawl and I can't wait for the pattern to be released :)

Marrakech or Kilim Shawl - the texture reminds me of some handwoven Moroccan textiles. I can't wait to knit this. I can't remember the last time I was excited by a shawl!

1. Create a blank base layer to size of desired finished product. 2. Pull original image onto the blank base layer. 3. Duplicate image layer. 4. Drag duplicate image layer to top of base layer, overlapping the two layers and matching up stitches (this could take some trial & error. You can lower the opacity of the top layer to help see it more easily). 5. Use a layer mask with a soft edged brush at about 30% to mask out the harsh edge of the top image layer. 5. Flatten and save as jpeg.

I would LOVE scrap sock yarn! I've been working on a Cozy Memories blanket, and I'm putting yarn aside to start a second. I would love your scraps and I'd even knit you a throw/lap blanket! I'm not kidding!

My daughter and I went to Fibre Frolic too. There were so many people, so many booths, that eventually we got tired and asked one of the vendors who was from out of town (and difficult to see) and we went to those booths before we left. I got about a dozen business cards so we can shop on line later.

Remember drawing lines on the blacktop to play hop scotch. That shawl looks like a fun little girl jumping hop scotch. It’s beautiful

Love, love,love when you mention what you are cooking for dinner! I am highly susceptible to recipe suggestions. I now own the Best of Bridges cook book (and will make the orzo recipe!) and the Yum and Yummer cookbook, which is the absolute best! Thank you!

want want want. must have grocery girls sock blockers!

I got the may Row One and am so anxious to get the June one. Thank you so much for that fun enabling.

Love Jodi's shawl! The first name I thought of was Film Noir.

Thank you Jodi and Tracie! So much fun!

I love these Girls. The show is so funny which is a very good thing.

Thank you ladies!! Loved it as usual!

Always enjoy your podcast! I also have a lot of left over sock yarn and wanted to tell you I’m knitting the Bits and Bobs Blanket by Kay Jones. You pick a back round color and knit it the scraps! It looks exactly like brioche, but it’s not! Just a suggestion girls. Your shorty socks are awesome! You both are such beautiful knitters! You definitely inspired me!

Tuxedo Shawl is the name that comes to my mind. Contrast is awesome! Love your podcasts!

Love flock fibre have to get more at knit city her minis are so lovely. I have been under the weather last two days thanks for making it a better day. Can't wait for knit city it's going to be a big one. I will come and say hi......Coral...... BrambleKnits 🇨🇦

New shawl name suggestion: “Clickity Slip!” :-). Also Jodi, living in a tropical climate does help with psoriasis, but you PAY with all of this stinking heat. 96* F today! So, we learn to live with the cotton and linen yarns and dream of trips to Canada! :-) Happy knitting gals! xxoo

You girls are such fun to watch. Love love love the Fidley Dye Works yarn you showed. You could name Jody's shawl Mosiac Melody

Yarn and Tea Night at the hall is on hiatus for the summer but is picking up again in the fall :)

Tracie: Check out two patterns by Beata Jezek for using up fingering leftovers. Scarfy Thing and Outline. Promoted by Hedgehog.

I love you guys! I grew up with five sisters and two brothers so you are like extra sisters to me! Ok you are my favorite sisters !😂

The black and white shawl makes me think of dice or dominos!

You girls should sell those custom sock blockers as a preorder limited edition item in your gg etsy shop!!

I absolutely love the shawl, Jodi! Makes me think of a checkerboard - that's what I would call it :)

First thing that popped into my head for your shawl was "newsprint" Love it : )

Tracy - I'm so with you on the cozy memories blanket. I started one and don't like working on it.

So nice to see you again, always a fun times :)

Loved this episode!! You guys kept me so entertained and informed that I am almost finished with my WIP!! xo

Love the shawl Jodi, I think I would name it, Slipping Stitching. Thank you for all the chuckles.

Slip Sliding Away ... a dreamy song and shawl

I like "Dashes and Dots" for the shawl.

I'm with kim b. "Silent Movie" for a shawl name is too cool!

A good name for Jodi's new shawl would be "The Mark Maker's Shawl" I really love it! Good job.

Jodi I love your new sweater bag! It holds so much. I have spent so much at your sale. :)

JODI!! you need to try this stuff on your face!! It helps with EVERYTHING! its brand is called "Fitish" and the spray is called "cool down" you can read the reviews and see how it clears up eczema within a week or 2. Its local to me, but im sure they ship to Canada. Its SO worth it! also helps with razor bumps!

i love the embroidery kits. these are amazing.

Lots of great name suggestions for shawl! But “Criss-cross Contrast” is what sticks in my head when I see this shawl... 😉 Well done!

Jodi!!! That color of your sweater matches your eye color perfectly!!!

You 2 are great to watch💕

my name suggestions for Jodie's beautiful shawl: 1. Crosswalk 2. City Blocks

Name choice: Georgia!!! (we're podcasting)

Jodi for your shawl I would call it the: Spring Butterfly shawl. The contrasting stitches look like butterflies.

Hello ladies. I'd say Crosswalk for the shawl. Very versatile colors and pattern.

Tracie I'm with you on not loving the cozy memories blanket. Great pattern but not for me. I plan on one day starting the Bits and Bobs blanket by Kay Jones of the Bakery Bears. I can see making two, one with leftovers from all my projects, and a second one made with just minis that I've collected.

The things you girls say “Road kill in the best way” 😂😂😂

Going gluten free made my husband's seborrheic dermatitis go away completely. It wasn't responding to anything the dermatologist prescribed, but after a week of no gluten, it disappeared.

How about naming the shawl dazzling dancer? Love everything on this podcast. I want all of the yarns and patterns.

Jodi, your shawl design reminds me of lines on a road. My suggestion is - “road trip to Edmonton”, or the path of least resistance. P.S. I can’t wait to knit it❣️
