Joji's Knitting Journal #61 

Hello from Mounds Illinois! Please tell your Mother hello, I love it when she is with you.

SHUCKS1. Just watched the podcast, purchased the pattern, and found out that the signup for the KAL was closed yesterday. So signed up for your newsletter so I don’t miss out on future KALa. I will look forward to seeing all the amazing finished projects others knit!

This podcast is amazing.This podcast and three by the sea designs podcast are my 2 favorite knitting podcasts the both of you are so amazing.

Your journals are so relaxing Joji! For me in Australia this was up on youtube when I got home Friday evening from a looong week at work and it was such a nice way to unwind. Thanks!

so excited you are coming to the USA in 2023!

I could listen to you talk about projects, designs, yarn for hours!!!!! 😄

I think I might join the knit along and knit my first shawl. I've never given shawls a thought but I happened upon your Zeeweg shawl and thought it was beautiful but then I saw the rest of your shawl patterns and loved them all. I think I'll knit the Odessey shawl for the knit-along since it's a free pattern and I'll look through my stash to see if I have enough yarn.

Thank you for your thoughtfulness and encouragement in planning this year’s JFKAL. I like the idea of using leftover skeins and not spending money on the projects within the KAL. I was knitting the Frank Shawl while watching this podcast 😊

I’m so excited for the release of your v neck pullover whenever it is published! And, looking forward to the KAL. I might have to sign up for a one skein project in addition to the three I already planned. Love how your KAL is encouraging me to use stash.

I love your journals. They are so relaxing. I am glad you are feeling better after your fall. I am so excited about the Fall KAL and already purchased the Lone Skein Shawl pattern. How generous of you to give a 25% discount on all your patterns. Thank you, Joji

You have such a beautiful spirit 💛

It's somgood to see you again! I am so excited for JFK2022 and the mini kals within. I have had your projects purchased (thank you for the discount) and yarn in my stash, some for almost a year, in preparation for this year's KAL. I'm trying to get everything off my needles for the September 1st blast-off! 😄🥳🥰💗

Good to hear you’re feeling better after you ski accident. Love the new V neck. It’s gorgeous.

You asked if someone watches you! Yes! I do! Feels like we are friends forever 😊

Always love watching your journals. I will also be participating in the JFKAL. It will be the first time I participate and I am looking forward to it.

I can’t wait to attend VKLNYC in Feb 2023 and hope to get tickets to the gala and your class. I have been to 2 galas and about 5 shows overall. It is the best fiber event, but I am biased since I lived in NYC for many years and I get to visit my best friend when I go to VKL.

Loved the episode Joji and so happy to be supporting the KAL !

Love your podcasts! I am so looking forward to your V-Neck Pullover and the Wrap you showed. And I know you did not mention this but I just saw you are the next Designer for the Modern Daily Knitting (MDK) Field Guide #22 and I couldn’t be more excited for you! Congratulations!!!

I loved watching your journal episode today while I was knitting. Your new shawl using one skein is a beauty! And the one yet to be released with all the tassels is one I can’t wait to knit😍 You are so humble as well as extremely talented, Joji. ❤️

The Sari Blanket is growing beautifully!!!!!!

Oh goodness, I'm so sorry about your injury. That sounds very scary, and I understand about your mood....just wanting to do all of your normal things. It is hard to have patience with your body to heal. I am just a little bit into your journal and I'm excited to sit here 'with you' and spin a little before I drive kiddos to all of their activities. :)

Thank you for sharing your fantastic designs, you are amazing! Looking forward to the KAL. And thank you for the wonderful discount on your patterns. I’m still working my scrappy blanket, it’s a lovely mindless satisfying work.

THOSE TASSELS! I am not a tassel person typically but I freakin adore the effect of them done in this way, it gives it such a loved and worn look :D

I love it when i am watching a podcaster and at the same time knitting a design from that podcaster. So i'm currently knitting the mable mount sweater from Joji and watching Joji on the podcast ❤

I want to be you when I grow up 😂 love all your designs!! ❤️

Love your journals. They’re fun to knit by. Makes the time pass quickly.

I've signed up for SO many projects for your KAL....I've got big knitting plans beginning in September. Thank you so much for doing this KAL AND for running the mini KALs along with it. I'm looking forward to knitting your new shawl pattern with some yarn I've had in my stash for years. The other 2 mini KALs sound fun too. I planned on the Collective Shawl anyway, so the scrappy project KAL in November will be the perfect time for that. Your cowl in October is beautiful. Looking like I've got a LOT of planning to do-and that's a good thing! 😊

Wow! I am looking forward to the KAL! My first Joji KAL!I owned two projectpatterns and hope I will finish them in time. Thank you and your team for this crazy wonderful idea!

Thank you for a great KAL. I am very excited for it and love your new shawl design.

I just signed up for JFKAL2022 and can't wait! I just need to go hunting for the yarn in my stash. Wow 11 years since the conception of Joji Fall Knitalongs! That's a long time and great achievement. Love all of your podcasts and for this episode, I especially love your tassle shawl that you teased us with earlier. Can't wait for the release for that pattern.

I love the mini-events in the KAL this year! That is going to be so much fun!! Stop! A newspaper caridgan!!! I knit the sweater last year! Such a fun knit!

I love your new design…maybe I’ll have to add this to the knit along! Sorry to hear about your injury, take care of yourself!

So sorry about your fall - hope you are all recovered! Happy travels! I will be knitting Catch My Heart during the KAL - looking forward to it!

Please write up your cardigan pattern. I (and many others, of course) would love it! Thank you for all you loveliness!

That v-neck sweater in lolabean yarn looks perfect! 😍 This will be my first time participating in your KAL and I’m planning a one skein shawl using beautiful lolabean yarn. I think it’ll be the perfect yarn/pattern combination

Thank you for sharing your time and talents with us.

I just bought the new pattern The Lone Skeins Shawl ! Thank you !!

As always ,I love your designs. Perfect for a quick knit gift also, but will have to make mine first!

I am very excited to participate in the fall KAL this year! I love your one skein shawl projects ❤️

Your designs are my favorites ♥️

Thank you Joji. Can’t wait for my first knit-along with you.

A little retro but I have been working on my Ziggy Shawl. You should definitely highlight this as one of your previous designs. I’m loving the pattern it is actually amazing. Totally loving the lone skein pattern and is now on my wish list x

Thank you so much for sharing!

👋🏼saludos/Hello Joji❤️

I share your sentiments about winter too! 😂🥶

Oooh ese suéter del fondo de rayas que lindo!!! (Mónica)

I gasped when I saw that vneck! What is the yarn weight? I will wait for that one. I adore your vnecks.

🌈👍

Belleza todo lo que tejes ,las lanas hermosas ,solo me conformo con mirar no se ingles quizá le puedas po er subtitulo en español gracias por mostrar todo lo que haces felicitaciones 🇺🇾

Can you tell us what the yarn requirements are for the free cowl pattern? I have some stash yarn that I've wanting to knit into a cowl but I'll save it for October if the yarn will work.

I’d like to buy your neck sweater pattern do you have a link to purchase it

I'm sorry I've been looking for the MKAL sign ups?

I am just finding out. Do I need to wait until next year or has there been an extension?

Love your RU-vid 💗 and all of your designs! I’ve signed up for the KAL twice and haven’t received an email that I’m in. If you could look into it. My ravelry name is knittingmaniac

Bonjour yaouh vous etes exceptionnelle Liliane (France)

So excited for the annual Joji Fall KAL…👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🧶💗. Your mini event for October sounds great…I have a good bit of stash that I can pick from. However, I’ll be going to Rhinebeck in October and between Indieuntangled, Cakepalooza, Wool and Folk and the NY Sheep and Wool Festival I will be spending TOO MANY dollars…🤣😂🧶💗
