Grocery Girls Knit Episode 90 

I would like to say that you two have gotten me through some deep sadness over the last 4 years. I’m 43 now and I lost my husband 4 years ago. I used your videos as a lifeline and laughter ❤️. Thanks for the memories! Alex from Kingston ❤️

I read Joji's post and I cried, then I watched you both - your fourth year and all you've brought me as a disabled, wheelchair and mostly bed bound knitter. and Then seeing your reaction to the lady in the wheelchair on pompom... I'm crying again. Tracie! You were the first person i met at my first yarn festival - EYF 2018. And you were SO SO SO lovely and gracious and dignified. You both represent all I love about our community. I appreciate you not holding back from talking about what our community has gone through and still is going through. But my goodness - the pompom cover. It really does give hope, right? Love and congrats to you both, you wonderful ones! XXX

I have watched you for all of it. My husband got sick with cancer when you started. You made me smile he passed away November 12th 2017 you kept me going every month. I love you guys kisses and hugs wow 4 yrs congrats

You know the saying I think you ladies epitomize: "be the change you want to see". You say you love being part of this community, but you have done so much to make it a community that we all feel a part of and enjoy so much. . I adore you both and look forward to many more years of your podcast.

Love you guys, love that you are real, funny, talk about real bits mental health etc. You inspire me to continue knitting, more for myself.

Happy anniversary! After I started watching you guys, my stash grew by leaps and bounds. And piles of cash gone. Seriously, I have no self control when it comes to patterns and yarns you guys show me. Keep up the good work!

I LOVE the long episodes cause it takes me almost the whole time between episodes to watch it. I think it’s just perfect.

I just have to say you two are AMAZING!!!!! I was taught how to crochet when I was 8 yrs old. I have dabbled over the yrs with it, but was a little intimidated by knitting, soooooo just recently I decided to learn how to knit. There are so many cute things to knit. I found your Birthday video to be so much fun and I love the passion you bring and share. I’m an Artist, but venturing out of my usual comfort zone of realism , I find that all I want to do is knit and crochet. Yarn is so beautiful! I never knew wool could be so soft. Keep up the great work. I’ll be looking for more of your videos, Ravalry, and Etsy. Sometimes I see a yarn and I just gotta have it! And yes I too have multiple projects going at the same time. I love it. Love you both and thank you! Big hugs 🤗💖

Lynn here from Victoria, BC, we met at Galiano in 2018. Happy 4th birthday to you! I’ve watched you from the beginning and you’re still as natural as you were then, and fun to watch. I enjoy seeing all of your makes, they’re really lovely. Thank you for all the work you put into providing us with entertainment and enabling us to buy more yarn!

Traci, you were asking about suggestions for things to have in your shop. What about GG coffee mugs? I llove a big coffee mug with knitting sayings, and it would be super fun to have GG ones. xoxo

I cannot wait to see how your turtle dove two turns out in that color!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Yesssss Jodi and Tracy, Latinas ruled on the super bowl! Thank you for mentioning us, I'm a Latina from Uruguay. So proud of JLo and Shakira. And Happy Birthday girls,!

Happy Birthday, ladies! Just a FYI, there in a free app called Knit Companion that will make keeping count of variable increases a breeze. It also has a highlighter to keep track of knitting rows. It’s a “game changer” Also, love both your Cardi sweaters.

I ALWAYS love how long your podcasts are-don’t ever change 😘

I love watching your podcast every week! and I also love how long it is, it beautifully paced and you guys are just so interesting. HAPPY 4 YEARS!!!!

I lucked into finding you the month that you started and I’ve been here ever since. THANK YOU and don’t ever change.

Love, love seeing that the podcast is up! Always full of fun and inspiration! I may have to join Tracie in knitting a Paloma. I don’t mind the length as I usually watch it in two or three sections!

Love you guys, congrats on 4 years. I still have some off our needles episodes in my "liked" videos. You guys make my mornings when I can watch you.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I've loved every single episode. You're such a wonderful tonic. Thank you for being so real.

You guys are so fabulous and REAL, don't every change! Happy, Happy birthday and many more. Just so you know you are such enablers; I just want every yarn and every pattern you mention. I already knew Joji a little BUT you really turned me on to her Journal's and more of her patterns. BTW I just bought yarn from Makenzie; her/ they're ideas are so amazing; the creativity and ambition behind this yarn is simply off the charts!!

Love your podcast! Episodes Can never be too long! Happy 4 years! Have loved every one!🎈🎁❤️

Congrat's on Birthday #4, I am so happy for you both. Tracy that red is amazing on you and Jody I love the kind of denim washed looking dark gray color (on my tablet screen 😉). You two are Hilarious, I don't even knit but I still love to watch you both. I am learning a lot about different types of yarn that I normally don't use. Who knows some day I may start to learn to knit. 😵😉. I have been a crocheter since I was 12yrs old, (I am Much older now 57yrs just turned on the 12th shhhhh) but I figure never to old to learn, right !! I love Stephanie's work truly amazing work. That is the great thing about knitting/crocheting you can be disabled and still do fantastic work. So many people are waking up in 2020, it is so fantastic to see that positive vibe throughout the world. It can be a challenge to keep that vibe higher but it does actually help Everyone in the long run. We are truly All connected. Much love & Many Blessing to All. 💓💓

Almost fell out of bed when Tracy commented on her LEGO helmet hair. 😂

LOVE the length of your podcasts! I just love being able to settle in and knit and laugh and drool over all the things. Happy Podiversary!! Thank you so so SO much for 4 years of awesomeness! 🧡

Yet another fun and informative podcast! Thank you for taking the time to include us in your day! Always a joy. ❤️😍

Sunday 🥴. I finally got to watch, but know I have to go back.....I was to tired 😴 to be alert enough to catch it all! I didn’t get my snow day 😢. And I had my grandson Friday night, a card making group all day Saturday, and then grandson back for Saturday night and most of Sunday. I love the precious little guy, he is eight, but I must admit to needing more rest as I age 🤣. Jodi and Tracie, you could be my daughters. Happy Anniversary, 💛😍🥰 every podcast. You are fun, knowledgeable, friendly, caring, sharing, honest, open, and real. I always feel like my friends have stopped by to visit when I see you have a new podcast. And never think they are too long! I can take long visits with with my besties. So many great patterns, yarn, bags, books, etc. I wish I could knit faster, and had more disposable income 😬, like lots of people. I am really on a book diet, but have Melanie’s first book, and a couple Pom Pom books, but may have to check them out. I’ll never get to knit everything I have yarn and books for right now! Sorry for rambling, you just make me feel welcome! Where are your folks in AZ? I have a friend I’m going to visit in Chandler, I know she talks about Canadians that live in their condo complex. It would be almost like meeting you if I would meet them 😂

Happy Birthday! Thank you for such an amazing journey! Looking forward to so many more years together! You have bought so much joy to my life! Love you both so much!

Your girls are just the best! Thanks for all the love in this week's podcast - you made my day! Jodi - your sweater is looking amazing! and Tracie - you can totally knit a Luminosity sweater by Knit City Montreal, can't wait to see you wearing it! xoxox

Happy birthday Grocery Girls!! 🛒🥳 Thanks for two whole hours of entertainment while I work on my Le Pouf cardigan. 😍🤗

Always a fun time with you Tracie and Jodi! Happy 4th Birthday! 💃❤️🧶🎂🧦🍰💗😁

I had to laugh the moment you talked about the sound it acted up- like the sound fairy saying oh well

I watched your first post and I remember how scattered you were. Talking into air and wondering if anyone was listening. I was new to watching also. I havebeenwith you ever since. Now you are all so secure in what you do.Keep it up!,

Honestly Tracie, I love the neckline of your cardigan. I totally know what you mean about “slouchy” cardigans, and sometimes round necklines on less structured cardigans can be hard to style (I typically prefer v-neck ones for this reason), but you’re nailing it here. It looks really great. When I saw it on your Instagram, I went right away and added it to my faves. 👏👏

Happy Birthday Girls!!! Without you I wouldn’t be knitting. You keep me so inspired!! I used to just knit socks, now I can do color work. Love ❤️ you two ladies and I look forward to seeing you whenever you podcast.

Hi happy birthday xxx, I thought you stop being on RU-vid 😢 it's been sooooo long since I last saw you in Off the Needles. I love your knitting tips, not that I knit but my mother was a wonderful knitter, watching you brings back memories of my mum 😊 thanks for coming back into my life here in Australia, you bring a smile to my day love your sense of humour xxx

You guys have hearts of gold! You cry- I cry❤️❤️❤️

Happy birthday!!! Tracy’s idea of knitting the sleeves before the body was genius!! Then I can maybe make my sweaters a little longer (I love tunic length) because I know I have enough left. Brilliant!

Wow 4 years! Congratulations to you both ❤️ You ladies were one of my first podcasts I found when I first started knitting and I have been thoroughly sucked in and enabled by you and this fantastic knitting community that I’ve discovered here on RU-vid ! The growth you’ve had in your projects and designs has been so wonderful to be a part of. 🎂

Thank you ladies so much for helping me to get so much knitting done! I absolutely love your podcast! And I adore the book bag! I’m saving my $ to order one, I already have a tattoo of books and need a book project bag too!

Happy Birthday!! I love you girls... Thank you for all the encouragement and laughs:)

I love that big bag with the book fabric! I love reading and knitting!

I’ve only been watching a few weeks, but as a birthday celebration I’m going to go to episode 1 and start from the beginning! I’ll be watching you for as long as you are on!

So funny that the last time you showed the Paloma, I went to my stash and cast it on. And that happens all the time, maybe I'm the third Grocery Girls. Congratz and greetings from the Netherlands

Love Jodi’s rainbow sweater....she seems so happy with it.

Hey guys, Thank you for bringing up the ‘price prohibitive’ issue. Knitting with fingering or whatever from your favourite indie dyer AND a second yarn can be out of reach for so many of us. I know knits look gorgeous, but @ about $300.00 per jumper, that’s over my price point. Great to recognise we all have different price points. Thanks ladies.

Almost every time I roast a chicken I set off my smoke alarm which sets off all of the alarms in the house. As Chevyrell says..."it's the call of my people"

Happy Birthday. Thank you for entertaining me while I piece squares together. So many new cute items in both your stores and the bags...

Happy Birthday! I savour each podcast. I don’t mind the length at all. Sometimes I watch it all in one sitting, sometimes I watch it over a few days. I love every minute of it. You two are so inspiring, please don’t change a thing. I love how you keep it real.

Happy anniversary. Love you two.i sit on my breaks and watch

Happy birthday ladies, lots of laughs and gorgeous knits over the last 4 years thank you both for the joy ride!

Happy Birthday! Please keep it coming!! 2 hours is perfect!

Congrats! Your podcasts are THE BEST! You have really done an excellent job promoting knitting and designers and creativity. THANK YOU!

Happy Birthday 🎂 to you Ladies! I’m in Kentucky closet to Lexington. Today’s the 7th, we had a surprise snow storm last night. We got 4”s of snow and it’s a big mess. The roads were awful. I thought I’d send you guys a big laugh 😂.

I joined the row one carnival of color club and I LOVE it! Thanks for the tip! Used a bunch in my marled magic shawl - agree they are great for marling.

Happy 4th Birthday to you both Tracie & Jodi. It has been a wonderful journey having watched from the beginning, and brought so much knitting and fibre joy, and all the extra you bring to the table. Wishing you all the best and many more years to come of watching more of the GG's.

Happy Birthday/Happy Anniversary!!!! Thanks for bringing us along on your fun ride!

I finally told myself I can’t stop watching you guys, so I subscribed! So I watch you in two, sometimes three parts, I get through the two hours and nobody is torturing me! Love you!

Happy Birthday Day Ladies! Can I just say out of all the podcast out there on knitting and yarns Yours is by far my absolute favorite!!!!!! How excited you all get about the yarns, colors and patterns, it’s just contagious!!!!! Thank you for not going on and on about your personal life’s and sticking to the subject matter ❤️

Happy Birthday! I've just started knitting and your show is an inspiration to me to try out new things and push my limit.

Happy anniversary you ladies arethe sweetest vloggers I never missed an episode - love all the way from Kuwait

Can’t believe that was four years ago!!! Congratulations!! Thank you for all the good times!! 😍

Happy Podiversary!! No matter how long your episodes are, they are never long enough. Thanks for the laughs, the enabling, the absolute joy you bring to us.

Awesome video. Thanks so much and love your sweaters.

🎉Happy Birthday!🎉. Can’t believe it’s been 4 years! You two were my very first podcast that I ever watched, and opened up a whole can of worms for me!!! You have introduced so many podcasts, indie dyers, yarn companies and designers into my world, and I thank you for that.❤️. I enjoy our visits so much and look forward to the next four+ years❤️🇨🇦

Happy Birthday!!! I need to move in with you ladies!!! I love every second of your podcasts. I laugh and giggle every single time!!

Glad to hear a piece of advice about measuring your needles before beginning your knitting. I just had a pair of circular needles missed mark and put into the wrong package. Used my little tool and found out they were a size larger then marked. Glad I caught it at the beginning of my project.

Happy 4 year Anniversary ❤️🎉🥰! Love you guys!!

" and they are surprised when they get eaten" MADE MY DAY

German short rows! Just tried in the sweater I'm knitting... So much better than wrap & turn! Happy birthday.

I’ve been knitting for years and don’t have even one hat for me, just realized as your talking about knitting for others, my family all have my knitting but I don’t 😂😂 time for me I think now.

Happy birthday to you!! Yay! Been watching since day one and I cant tell you how much of a positive impact you’ve had on my life 🥰 Being a full time caregiver of a disabled veteran (my hubby) doesn’t leave me with much “me” in my life... but through your podcast you’ve given me an outlet that’s opened my life up to some of the most wonderful friends and creative outlet that i so so needed. You ladies are fantastic and I cannot WAIT to meet you at the next knit city! 😍😘 love love love

How fun!! Congratulations on your 4th birthday!! And your episode is uploaded on my 39th birthday!! So Happy 4th Birthday to you!! Happy Birthday dear Grocery Girls, Happy Birthday to you!!

Watching since day one. Congrats to you both. Love you as much now, as in the beginning. You make me laugh and cry and inspire me to knit even when I get tired of knitting. Keep it up. You are the best thing out there. Okay guys, the photo of Jelly Bean and Dana made me smile so much! So adorable! Traci you need to knit all the sweaters. I want to see the beige one all done, it looks gorgeous and you only have the neck done! Thank you guys, for all the heads up on all those patterns. I'm heading to Ravelry now to look at them all. Take care of each other and see you next time.

Love Tanis Fiber Art Yarn. Made the seaboard sweater with her yarn - it was fabulous!

I have never watched a vlog before or even done a podcast. I found out you ladies are from Edmonton and tonight I just said hell yeah I’m putting this on. Spent the 2 hours with you ladies cooking and cleaning and it was amazingly wonderful! Can not wait to watch more. Now how do I get to come and knit with you ladies and hush over yarn? Lol!

Such a pleasure Ladies. Tracie a lot of us watch twice or go back to check out something u showcased. Might be a reason for more views? Anyway this was an epic birthday podcast. Loved every minute of it. Wishing both of you continued success in everything you do. Blessings. 💐💐👏👏🎂🥂

Happy 4th birthday 🎂 ! You two are a joy to listen to whether it is an hour or four hours! 😁😁 Keep up your sunshine ☀️ ladies!! 🥂

Japanese short rows beat out all for me. Very Pink Knits offers a video. Sweaters are awesome you guys!! Jodi love your hair.

You MADE me purchase the Love Note pattern and now I have spent my Saturday morning knitting it. In love!!

Happy birthday🥂🍰🎊🎉🎈Your podcast is so fun and lovely and bring me so much joy. You are just amazing🤗🌺

You guys are a trip and a half. So down to earth. I just subscribed!

Happy Birthday Jodi and Tracie! I can't tell you how much I have loved the last 4years!😁🎂

Happy 4th Birthday Tracie and Jodi xxx

Congrats on your 4th birthday! I can't believe how fast it has flown by! Love your finishes. So much info to digest thstv can't comment on it all. Showing your purchases and WIPs just inspire me to keep knitting and learn new things. I am fairly new to knitting, and I'm very excited to see all the bags and gadgets. Happy knitting!

Congratulations. I have seen them all and love watching you.

And on a more serious note..I suffer anxiety and back out of every knitting festival and yarn show I make plans to go to . I can put on a good act at work and can be the funny one when in a role where I have a purpose, but on my own I get paralyzed. This podcast makes me feel safe. Always. I never turn it off feeling 'less than' or like I wouldn't belong or that my knitting wouldn't live up to some weird self-imposed standard. Thank you for the laughs, even though I sometimes pee myself , the tears-TRACIE STOP THAT , and the time out of my head where I can just enjoy our 'knitalong' during your podcasts. I of course have booked a room for montreal, and hope I can make myself go even if just to fan-girl from afar and say thank you to you from afar.

So excited to see you ladies feature yarn dyed by the owner, Donna, of my local yarn shop, In the Making!!🥰Thank you so much!! Big Bad Wool is amazing yarn!

Love Note idea: Try adding beads instead of the lace. I did that for my 2nd Ranunclus. A little bling and no holes to worry about due to yarn overs. Happy Birthday!!

Happy Birthversary to the Grocery Girls podcast! Thank you for all your positivity and inspiration. I hope the podcast sticks around forany many years. Love you both! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

I just love watching you guys. You are so positive and truly inspirational. Your passion for fiber arts is awesome💕👏🧦🧶🧣

I love that you’re introducing new patterns! Thank you.

Happy pod-a-versary! I love you guys so much! You remind me so much of me and my sister, who passed a few years ago. Thanks for the joy you bring. By the way, I grew up in the town where that poor woman was mauled by the chimp and still live close by! Everyone still thinks they want a wild animal though! Anyway, here’s to many more years!

Happy Birthday!!! I just recently found your podcast and I’m so glad I did. You guys are funny, entertaining, informative and I love every minute of your podcast. I’m even trying to go back and see all that I’ve missed. Jodi I’ve just placed a bag order so that I can replace the ugly shopping bags I’ve been using for wips. Thank you for the inspiration to try new yarns and patterns. Love you guys and I hope you make to Rhinebeck NY in 2020 so that I can hopefully meet you!

Love the length of your podcasts! I really get into watching and feel like I’m there with you! You always makes me smile and laugh!

"let's just cut my knitting!" You two crack me up so much❣️

Thank you for all the positivity! Love you guys ❤️

Happy Birthday Grocery Girls! Love you and thank you for all you do!

I love when you yell at Georgia! Happy birthday Grocery Girls from Ontario! Hoping to join of you KAL's one day :) Love you guys!!!!

I discovered Lisa Mutch (Northbound Knitting) through you! Her Metallurgy might be my all-time, lifetime favorite colorway.

Happy Anniversary Ladies! This episode was jam-packed with all kinds of fabulous information. I kept having to pause the video, back up, and listen again. You cost me a lot of $$ this week! Thank you, thank you, thank you for taking the time to do your podcast. One hour, two hours, can never get enough! xoxo
