it's kind of cool. 198 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:38,040 That is really cool. 199 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:39,840 So you can just hang it wherever as well. 200 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:40,920 So there's that. 201 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,800 And if you want to see pictures of our current projects 202 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,280 or get more information about part in my stash, 203 00:08:46,280 -->

00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,480 I feel like I can't press enough buttons. 207 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,120 Oh, wow. 208 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,200 That is awful. 209 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:10,200 That was like, Tina, no. 210 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,320 I like how they continue playing over each other. 211 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,160 I didn't know that they were just all. 212 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,080 I thought they would like stop the last one. 213 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,040 That was like a crescendo. 214 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,440 I like how there's all this good stuff, but in the background, 215 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,640 whoa, whoa, whoa. 216 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,000 That was so alarming. 217 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,400 That was amazing. 218 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:29,160 It was something. 219 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:30,080 That was beautiful. 220 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:30,800 It was something. 221 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,080 Well, there is good stuff happening today. 222 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,280 Today marks our 100th episode. 223 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,360 Woo! 224 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,640 Super exciting. 225 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,400 We're all excited to be here. 226 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,280 We've been doing this for a long time. 227 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:46,720 More applause. 228 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:47,200 Yeah. 229 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:48,520 We did this 100 times. 230 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,080 We did do this 100 times. 231 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:52,960 A little bit more, because we had a couple 232 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,640 just weird stuff thrown in that I don't think we numbered. 233 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,640 So yeah, definitely. 234 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:03,800 But this is our 100th official episode. 235 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,920 Yeah. 236 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:06,400 Mirror. 237 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:09,840 I don't know. 238 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,040 I was looking back, and I was like, oh my gosh, 239 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:13,600 it's our 100th episode. 240 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,600 And looking back to our first episodes, which none of us 241 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,280 really listened to anymore, because we were so awkward 242 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:20,600 when we first started. 243 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,720 Thank you all who listened to that and kept listening. 244 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:24,520 God, yeah. 245 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,160 You trusted in the past. 246 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,960 You trusted us, and we appreciated you. 247 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:29,960 Trusted the process. 248 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:31,160 We trusted the process. 249 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:36,680 Hi, I'm Tina, and this is about me. 250 00:10:36,680 --> 00:10:38,200 It wasn't even that exciting. 251 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:39,680 Oh my gosh. 252 00:10:39,680 --> 00:10:40,160 But I was. 253 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,120 I was looking back at that, and I was thinking about, oh man, 254 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:44,320 what do we like? 255 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,600 What's a good topic for our 100th episode? 256 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,800 And then I was thinking, what about maybe looking at it? 257 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,340 I was like, there are a lot of things 258 00:10:51,340 --> 00:10:54,040 when we first started this that we didn't do, 259 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:58,560 or we hadn't thought of, or we weren't confident enough, 260 00:10:58,560 --> 00:11:01,120 I guess, to go into that. 261 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:05,200 I think today, after all these episodes and doing this 262 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,960 and being here and listening to feedback and people, 263 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,400 we've gotten into since then. 264 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,680 And looking at that, I was like, oh, 265 00:11:13,680 --> 00:11:15,640 so what sort of things would those be? 266 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:16,840 Because I'm looking at it. 267 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,160 I was like, you know, there was a thing way back, 268 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:20,640 early episodes where I was like, I'm 269 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:21,800 never going to do a sweater. 270 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,920 It is just not something I'm interested in. 271 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:24,680 But you did. 272 00:11:24,680 --> 00:11:25,600 But I did. 273 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,160 And I actually did one. 274 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:28,840 A vest kind of counts as a sweater. 275 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,040 So I've done it a few times. 276 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:31,000 You did a kid's sweater, too. 277 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,400 I did do a kid's sweater, and I'm looking at other ones. 278 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:37,280 So that's something I never even considered looking at. 279 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,440 Blas. 280 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,960 And I don't know if I would have, 281 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,200 if I wasn't doing this and looking at different things 282 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,600 and seeing what other people were kind of doing 283 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,720 and commenting on. 284 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:55,280 So I was like, oh, that's from episode one to episode 100. 285 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:56,680 That's a lot of growth. 286 00:11:56,680 --> 00:11:58,600 Is this our flashback episode? 287 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,160 Swann and I've done. 288 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:01,760 All right, we're going to go back in time. 289 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:08,960 I remember the first day I started knitting. 290 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,280 We're talking about from episode one. 291 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:12,600 Oh, sorry. 292 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:13,680 Sorry, I went back too far. 293 00:12:13,680 --> 00:12:16,240 We're talking 2021, not 2008. 294 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:17,640 I went back too far. 295 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:18,720 Too far, too far. 296 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,000 Bring it forward a little bit. 297 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:20,960 When's it my fault? 298 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:21,760 Yeah, here, here. 299 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,600 We're going forward. 300 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,360 All right, I'm there. 301 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:26,280 I'm there. 302 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:27,480 That's a fast forward sound. 303 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:28,960 Apparently. 304 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:30,360 That's the sound of growing up. 305 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,440 That's the sound of growing up. 306 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:33,480 What was the question? 307 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,080 From episode one to episode 100. 308 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:44,280 So from August 2021 to September 2024. 309 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,480 What's something maybe you've done that you don't think you 310 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,720 would have done if we hadn't have started all this? 311 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,120 Actually, I don't think that I ever would have made a sweater. 312 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,000 I've been very comfortable in a lot of things 313 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,280 that I had been doing at that time. 314 00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:58,400 Like I was doing socks. 315 00:12:58,400 --> 00:12:59,280 I was doing hats. 316 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,040 I was doing mitts. 317 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:02,280 You're an accessories gal. 318 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,160 I was an accessories gal. 319 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,000 And to some extent, I still am. 320 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,400 I really haven't done any garments, 321 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,040 except for that sweater. 322 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:13,720 Like I am one. 323 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:14,960 But you're thinking about it. 324 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:16,160 I am thinking about it. 325 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,000 It's like a third of a sweater. 326 00:13:20,560 --> 00:13:23,160 It's a sweater without the tedium of the body. 327 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:23,720 Yes. 328 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:24,560 Yeah. 329 00:13:24,560 --> 00:13:27,120 Like there's no body, and it's only 330 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,240 going to have elbow sleeves. 331 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,600 You're just getting to the good parts. 332 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:37,800 Yes, it's also cardigan style, so there's no front. 333 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,080 I mean, it still counts. 334 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:40,560 It absolutely counts. 335 00:13:40,560 --> 00:13:41,400 It does. 336 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:42,880 And I am looking forward to that. 337 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,480 But I don't think that if we didn't start doing the podcast, 338 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:49,840 I would have just picked up sweater making in general. 339 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,400 Because I think the podcast does encourage me to do more 340 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:54,800 outside of my own comfort zone. 341 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,240 But I'm trying to think of like anything else that was like new 342 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:58,040 or adventurous. 343 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,440 And I think that that's really, you did brioche. 344 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,880 Oh, I did learn brioche. 345 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:08,200 I'm not going to lie, the first time I saw brioche, I said, 346 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:09,200 absolutely not. 347 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,200 That looks way too complicated. 348 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,680 But Tina did it first, and I was like, oh, well, let me do that. 349 00:14:14,680 --> 00:14:15,720 Oh, yeah, I did, didn't I? 350 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,080 Yeah, you did. 351 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,760 Well, I mean, the first time was North Carolina, 352 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:20,840 and I really missed it. 353 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,040 But the first time I did it right was so much easier. 354 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:25,560 It was impressive. 355 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:29,360 Yeah, that was the high vis cowl. 356 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,160 Yeah, but there have definitely been some stitches 357 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:36,680 and some techniques that I have branched out into doing. 358 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,000 It's been a journey. 359 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,200 There are new things in my repertoire. 360 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:41,640 I've learned different cast ons. 361 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,160 I've learned different cast offs. 362 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:44,000 Yeah. 363 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:49,800 I think the one thing that I would like to do is steaking. 364 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,160 I would love to do that. 365 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,000 Will I ever be mentally prepared for it? 366 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,960 Probably not, but maybe one day. 367 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:57,320 Coffee cup steak. 368 00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:57,840 Yeah. 369 00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:58,560 I got to do that. 370 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:02,320 I got to do that, because if I don't try that first, 371 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,040 I'm never going to be able to sneak a sweater. 372 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:05,000 I know me. 373 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:05,880 Exactly. 374 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,720 If I do it successfully on a small scale, OK. 375 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,720 It'll be less intimidating on a larger scale. 376 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,120 Maybe, but yeah. 377 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,480 I feel like you're going to have that same feeling as when we 378 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,240 figured out how to do the two at a time. 379 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:20,360 Oh, yeah. 380 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,280 Yeah, we thought it was really, whoa. 381 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:24,120 I'm not going to lie. 382 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,280 For me, that still is the case, because I still 383 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,960 haven't learned how to do two at a time anything. 384 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:31,080 Oh, right. 385 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:31,760 But you had. 386 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:33,040 You'd done it before, correct? 387 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,400 I did the sleeves on Calliope two at a time. 388 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:36,240 Yeah. 389 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:36,880 And I did. 390 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:38,600 At first, I was like, oh my god. 391 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,200 How am I going to do this? 392 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,960 But I had a very good friend, shout out to Mary, 393 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,600 who I know is listening, who was sending me tutorials 394 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,400 and saying, no, this is life changing. 395 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:51,720 Once you do this, you're not going 396 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,640 to want to go back to doing them one at a time. 397 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,880 And she had a point, because I hate 398 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,720 doing sleeves one at a time. 399 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,200 You finish it, and you're like, crap. 400 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,920 I got to go back and do it all over again. 401 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:05,840 I want to say that since our first episode, 402 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,240 I've become a more confident crafter. 403 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:12,000 I'm less intimidated to try new things. 404 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,280 I'm more open to the idea of new and different. 405 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,320 Taking that leap of faith. 406 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:19,720 Sweaters weren't that bad. 407 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,280 Thought it was going to be a lot harder. 408 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:22,680 It wasn't that bad. 409 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:23,480 I could do more. 410 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:23,960 I have it. 411 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:25,480 Until you made too much sweater. 412 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,840 I did make too much sweater. 413 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,120 And then I had to tink all that back. 414 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,000 No, I think it was Yarn Harlot that said once 415 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,320 that sweaters are really scary until you break them 416 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:35,280 into parts. 417 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,320 Because if you look at a whole sweater, it's big. 418 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:39,080 It's a lot. 419 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:40,480 There's a lot of different techniques. 420 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:41,760 There's a lot of construction. 421 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,400 But when you break it down to, OK, I'm 422 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,240 just going to do the collar, that's easy. 423 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,920 And then you just increasing. 424 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:50,520 That's easy. 425 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:51,840 And then split for the, you know, 426 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:53,800 it's like you break it down into parts 427 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,360 and make it less about I'm going to knit this sweater. 428 00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,680 And more about I'm just going to do one bit at a time. 429 00:16:58,680 --> 00:16:59,640 Same thing with socks. 430 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,680 Like you break down the socks. 431 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,160 And it's not nearly as intimidating. 432 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,440 Because you're just doing it step by step. 433 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,800 I agree with that. 434 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:10,720 That's probably the same way that I looked at socks 435 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,040 when I was doing socks. 436 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:12,640 Right. 437 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:13,560 Well, socks are great too. 438 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:14,760 Because it's like, OK, a cuff. 439 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:15,260 Cool. 440 00:17:15,260 --> 00:17:16,440 I can cast on in the round. 441 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,000 I can do ribbing. 442 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,200 This is easy. 443 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,480 I know how to knit back and forth to make a heel flap. 444 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,640 Exactly. 445 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:24,200 Yeah. 446 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:25,680 And you break it down like that. 447 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,880 And it's all of a sudden it's not as intimidating anymore. 448 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:30,000 You're just knitting parts. 449 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,400 And a lot of those parts are things that you know how to do. 450 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:33,440 You already know how to do. 451 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,280 Anyway, you're just on a different scale. 452 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,680 Well, again with socks, like watching people use 453 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,680 all of those double points and having like the octopus. 454 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:44,440 The porcupine. 455 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,000 The porcupine as your project. 456 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,120 And you know, it always looked like it was so much. 457 00:17:50,120 --> 00:17:53,000 But you're only using two needles at a time. 458 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,160 I think that's the thing is like people look at that. 459 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:56,560 They're like, how are you doing that? 460 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,600 Like you're some sort of magician with nine hands. 461 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,800 It's like, no, I'm literally just using two. 462 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,280 Still just two needles. 463 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:03,200 That's it. 464 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:03,960 Yeah. 465 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,160 The technique literally doesn't really change. 466 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:08,360 No, it doesn't. 467 00:18:08,360 --> 00:18:10,640 It just looks different. 468 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:16,160 So I would say confidence, more open to trying new things, 469 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,920 wanting to try new things, which I think 470 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:20,200 are two different things. 471 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,040 Yeah. 472 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,320 I got pickier about needles. 473 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:25,120 Yeah. 474 00:18:25,120 --> 00:18:27,520 I didn't pickier about needles. 475 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,320 It's the same. 476 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:31,560 I develop favorites. 477 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:32,280 Yeah. 478 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:33,360 Yeah. 479 00:18:33,360 --> 00:18:36,600 And size favorites too. 480 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:41,560 Like I'm really into size sixes right now. 481 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,440 So I'm trying to find a lot of projects 482 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,320 where I can use that size needle because it 483 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:46,640 feels good in my hands. 484 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,080 That's me with eights. 485 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:48,600 Yeah. 486 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:49,520 I like eights. 487 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:50,520 Eight is my favorite. 488 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:51,880 But like nines, right? 489 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:52,800 Like come on. 490 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:54,160 Who uses a nine? 491 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,000 Like I don't like to use nines. 492 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,400 I see a pattern with a nine. 493 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,960 Guys, I had to use a nine. 494 00:18:59,960 --> 00:19:01,320 And I was like, it was for like. 495 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:02,200 You should have seen her. 496 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:03,640 It was like she was being tortured. 497 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:04,160 Oh my god. 498 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:05,360 It was awful. 499 00:19:05,360 --> 00:19:07,320 Then I had to use a 10 to bind off. 500 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:08,560 It was just for the bind off. 501 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:09,320 And it was awful. 502 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:10,400 I'm OK with a 10. 503 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:11,400 I'm OK with 10s too. 504 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:12,400 I'm OK with a 10. 505 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:13,600 I don't know why. 506 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:14,760 Don't give me a nine. 507 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,320 It's like sevens are usually my cut off. 508 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,040 Eights, I'm like, OK. 509 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:20,400 Nine, I'm like, oh god. 510 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:21,200 This is. 511 00:19:21,200 -->

bulky yarn, 515 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:26,040 like give me the 10s. 516 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:27,000 I love the 10s. 517 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:28,440 I forgot which one I was looking for. 518 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:29,600 And I pulled out 13s. 519 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,440 I'm like, who has these? 520 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:32,240 Me, apparently. 521 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:33,240 What are you knitting with? 522 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:34,760 No, they're mine. 523 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,280 I also have 15s, 17s, and 19s. 524 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:37,560 That's the super bulkies. 525 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,560 Yeah, up here. 526 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:40,520 I'm not going to lie. 527 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:44,360 I inherited a ton of like bulky needles. 528 00:19:44,360 -->

use them? 532 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:52,760 No. 533 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,920 Do I have them in case the urge ever strikes me? 534 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:56,920 Yes. 535 00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,720 In case you ever need that last minute Christmas present 536 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,520 and some super bulky yarn, can knit a cowl in half an hour. 537 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:04,440 I know, but. 538 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:05,400 Yes. 539 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,280 I will say when I knit with 19s, 540 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:12,560 I feel like I'm taking like two cooking spoons. 541 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:13,080 I know. 542 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:13,760 Thick ones. 543 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,600 Like and just dig it in there. 544 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,200 It hurts your hands after a while. 545 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:19,600 They're just too big. 546 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,960 I get like there's a certain way I hold them to kind of get 547 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:23,520 them not to feel awkward. 548 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:24,360 But I hate it. 549 00:20:24,360 --> 00:20:26,840 But I would rather hold 19s than nines. 550 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,040 I got a personal issue. 551 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,120 I'm not going to go that far. 552 00:20:31,120 --> 00:20:34,520 I don't like nines, but not that much. 553 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:35,120 Nope. 554 00:20:35,120 --> 00:20:35,640 Not that much. 555 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,640 If you like nines, you got to convince me 556 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,480 because they're not OK in my book. 557 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,760 Not to say that you personally cannot like nines. 558 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:45,520 No, no, this is totally just me. 559 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,280 My problem. 560 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:52,080 I feel like it's a table problem. 561 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,000 There's that one person who's like my favorites are nines 562 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:56,040 and I'm going to feel really bad. 563 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:57,600 And I'm really like, I'm sorry. 564 00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:58,240 I'm sorry. 565 00:20:58,240 --> 00:20:59,200 As always. 566 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:00,200 I still like you. 567 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,480 As always, these are always our personal favorites. 568 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:03,680 Yep, yep. 569 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,320 Your mileage may vary. 570 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:10,160 You're on our journey of self discovery right now. 571 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,440 I'll say for me, the journey, I felt 572 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:17,280 like there's separate things about the podcast as a whole 573 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,720 that has done things to my knitting and just 574 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:21,240 my life in general. 575 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:29,040 And I think for one, I feel like I now have kind of sort 576 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,960 of an opinion about audio mixers. 577 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,160 I think. 578 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:35,600 I do. 579 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,280 No, I definitely do. 580 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:38,360 Am I an expert? 581 00:21:38,360 --> 00:21:39,600 Absolutely not. 582 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:43,160 But I know enough to get by. 583 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,360 I've done it'll be 100 episodes. 584 00:21:46,360 --> 00:21:47,960 You've done pretty good by us so far. 585 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:48,760 Not bad. 586 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:52,120 And so now I feel like I have preferences 587 00:21:52,120 --> 00:21:57,880 and feel like I understand a lot more about audio editing 588 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:04,360 and in general and podcasting configuration in general 589 00:22:04,360 --> 00:22:07,360 and a lot of boring tech stuff that I am not 590 00:22:07,360 --> 00:22:09,840 going to inundate our listeners with. 591 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,480 Thank God. 592 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:20,960 But in terms of my knitting, I definitely feel like when 593 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,960 we started, I had just recently that year 594 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:26,840 had come back to Connecticut. 595 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:32,040 I was recovering from health issues 596 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:33,960 I had at the beginning of the year. 597 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:38,280 And I feel like I came here and I 598 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,640 was using knitting as my coping mechanism at the time 599 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,480 to go through my recovery process. 600 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,960 And then in terms of knitting in general, I feel like I just 601 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,720 I definitely did more pattern work than I would have. 602 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,280 And pattern work, I should say, not just hats, 603 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,400 even though I like hats and my patterns tend 604 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:58,960 like I have a couple of patterns. 605 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:02,760 But I did mitts and I did a scarf. 606 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,720 And it was exciting to kind of do stuff like that 607 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:07,520 and bring it to life. 608 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:11,600 I remember 99 episodes ago, I was going, all right, guys, 609 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:12,520 we got this. 610 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,200 We're going to do the thing. 611 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,160 And we definitely did not got it because the mics needed 612 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:17,840 duct tape. 613 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,520 Listen, that was hilarious. 614 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,000 Because the holders were too small for the mic. 615 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,240 And why would you sell a package when the package doesn't 616 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,280 actually fully fit? 617 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:30,520 Someone did a new CD. 618 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,320 Yeah, something like that. 619 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,880 And then we went on this kind of crazy adventure. 620 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,240 And we recorded a second episode that I don't think 621 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:40,360 ever saw the light again. 622 00:23:40,360 --> 00:23:42,080 And it never should see the light again. 623 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:43,480 And it never will. 624 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,880 I am so happy that we were all eventually like, 625 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:46,840 do you want to redo that? 626 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:47,920 Yeah. 627 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:49,640 We were just so awkward. 628 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,000 It wasn't bad. 629 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,040 It wasn't like there was anything horrific on it 630 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:54,880 that we can't release to the public. 631 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:56,240 I'll give you a synopsis. 632 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:57,400 I like Reese's. 633 00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,400 Reese's are chocolatey and peanut buttery. 634 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,840 I like Reese's. 635 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:07,120 It was just, it was like favorite patterns, right? 636 00:24:07,120 --> 00:24:09,080 Oh, god, it was so bad. 637 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:10,440 And what was really bad, because none of us 638 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:11,840 knew what the others were talking about. 639 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,320 So we're just like, oh, yeah, that sounds great. 640 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,080 As we round tabled it. 641 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,240 And it was just, oh, god, it was so bad. 642 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:19,440 I'm glad we didn't release it. 643 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:20,840 We would never have gone anywhere. 644 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,440 It was an antithesis to what we eventually 645 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,960 have come to learn what the podcast is, 646 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:31,640 which is authentic, round table, chatting with each other, 647 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,360 like just a casual conversation. 648 00:24:34,360 --> 00:24:35,680 And it was so forced. 649 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:37,920 That second episode was so forced. 650 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:39,280 We just had our little papers. 651 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:40,840 We hadn't found our voices yet. 652 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:41,400 No. 653 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:42,080 No. 654 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,720 No, and I think we were still at the time somewhat trying 655 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:48,440 to do what the other five or podcasts were more doing. 656 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,760 And we're like, and we realized, thankfully, 657 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:57,040 by the third episode, i.e. the second episode, hey, 658 00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:58,160 that's not our style. 659 00:24:58,160 --> 00:24:59,400 This is our style. 660 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,640 And it works for us. 661 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,160 I mean, we could never adhere to that, though. 662 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,240 I mean. 663 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,200 Yeah, I mean, the blooper reel, that was just like, 664 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:13,200 I winked that because we didn't have a holiday episode. 665 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,520 And I was like, we'll do bloopers. 666 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,400 Hey, it's all this stuff that we still have and haven't used. 667 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:19,120 I was like, you know what, guys? 668 00:25:19,120 --> 00:25:20,560 I've been saving all of our bet. 669 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:21,720 Oh, no, I didn't. 670 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:22,400 I didn't save. 671 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,080 The first time I did that, I did not save the bloopers. 672 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,560 So usually, when I'm editing the episodes, 673 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,360 I will cut the bloopers out. 674 00:25:29,360 --> 00:25:32,240 And then I put those MP3s in a separate folder. 675 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,320 And then when I want to do the blooper episode, 676 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:35,360 I'm just like, OK. 677 00:25:35,360 --> 00:25:37,000 So I have all these bloopers. 678 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:38,600 This is what I'm going to pick from. 679 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,760 But the first time that we did it, that was not planned. 680 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:44,360 So I was just like, huh, I'm just 681 00:25:44,360 --> 00:25:46,360 going to go through all the ones I think 682 00:25:46,360 --> 00:25:48,880 I remember we had bloopers on. 683 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:50,080 And hope for the best. 684 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:50,920 Oh, my god. 685 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,400 That took so long. 686 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,360 I love listening to the blooper episodes, though. 687 00:25:56,360 --> 00:25:57,440 It brings me so much joy. 688 00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,320 See, now you have the better way of doing it. 689 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:03,000 Even back then, we would crack ourselves up. 690 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,560 And it still cracks me up listening to us crack up. 691 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,400 I'll never forget you saying noobs, 692 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:12,000 because noob is a nope for me or something like that. 693 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:13,080 And I was like, oh, my god. 694 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:14,360 She asked what a noob was. 695 00:26:14,360 --> 00:26:14,880 Yeah. 696 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:16,400 And I said, it's P7TOG. 697 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:17,520 No. 698 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:18,640 Oh, that's a noob. 699 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,440 It just spilled out. 700 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,160 I don't think that I have had to do noobs. 701 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,200 It's not on my bucket list. 702 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,280 It's a hard pass. 703 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,840 Noobs to you or size nine needles to me? 704 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:32,320 Talking about the blooper reel, we 705 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:37,280 also did like that audio track. 706 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,080 You mean our top of the charts hit single? 707 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:40,960 Our debut single? 708 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:42,160 Oh, my god. 709 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,120 Yeah, if you haven't heard it, it's a riot. 710 00:26:45,120 --> 00:26:50,200 Anyways, I want to say that was the second series of bloopers. 711 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:54,840 And again, you know, Dreya was living with me at the time. 712 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,920 And I asked her if she wanted to be involved in the bloopers 713 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,560 episode, to which she immediately said yes. 714 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,800 And then all of a sudden, we were rapping. 715 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:09,880 And it was what happens when you leave us unsupervised. 716 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:11,640 It's not good. 717 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,560 Anybody's guess what's going to happen. 718 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:15,400 There was a lot of trial and error. 719 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,520 But I feel like it's in a really good spot right now. 720 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:19,720 We got there in the end. 721 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:20,800 Yeah. 722 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:22,680 We found our people. 723 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:23,880 Our people have found us. 724 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:24,380 Yeah. 725 00:27:24,380 --> 00:27:26,600 I love our people. 726 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,080 Our people are so awesome. 727 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,600 No, that's actually probably been the most surprising thing. 728 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:31,440 And I'll tell you why. 729 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,680 Because in general, I feel like if you 730 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,800 have a negative or pessimistic outlook on life in general 731 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:41,440 and people, you don't expect kind of like it's the internet. 732 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,680 You are expecting a lot of negativity. 733 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,100 And we got the opposite of that. 734 00:27:47,100 --> 00:27:50,840 And yeah, it's crazy. 735 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:52,560 We get a lot of positive feedback 736 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,240 from all of you listeners. 737 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:56,480 And it's awesome. 738 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:57,520 Yeah, it's. 739 00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,760 Every time we get a new comment or a new DM 740 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:06,120 or a new email submission, it really makes our day. 741 00:28:06,120 --> 00:28:10,680 Yeah, even I don't think we respond to every single one 742 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,880 now that we get at this point. 743 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:17,640 Because sometimes there isn't necessarily a question. 744 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:21,360 But just getting them in, we talk about it. 745 00:28:21,360 --> 00:28:22,800 We put it in our personal chat. 746 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,440 And we're like, hey, look what we got. 747 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,880 We read every single submission. 748 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,480 I will say, every time someone does send me, 749 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,840 hey, you guys made my day better today, and we read it, 750 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:35,160 it makes my day better too. 751 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:35,660 Oh, yeah. 752 00:28:35,660 --> 00:28:36,640 Yeah, for sure. 753 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,960 It's very. 754 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,920 It's very like I feel like it's a good given 755 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,520 receive of, oh, yay. 756 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,080 And everyone seems, for the most part, like I said, 757 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:48,560 of course, it's the internet. 758 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,000 You're always going to get something here or there. 759 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,480 But for the most part, everyone is so supportive. 760 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:57,560 And backing everybody up, and that's awesome. 761 00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,200 Not to say that we don't get negative commentary, 762 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,560 but it's very far and few in between. 763 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:07,960 And it's really hard to focus on that when you're just 764 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,600 overloaded with positivity. 765 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,520 And I think, honestly, sometimes that's 766 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,760 kept us going more than anything else. 767 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:19,440 Because we're like, no, we know this person's listening 768 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,160 because they don't have a knit circle near them 769 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,880 within a two hour window of driving. 770 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:29,280 And it gives us that motivation to, hey, we're going to do. 771 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:30,560 We're going to record an episode. 772 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:31,720 We're going to do it. 773 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,360 And I mean, our relationships have changed too, 774 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,520 just between each other. 775 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:42,600 Because I feel like we've seen a lot of each other, 776 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:44,920 which is awesome in my book. 777 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,960 And I feel like I've gotten closer to each of you 778 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:49,680 in different ways. 779 00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,120 That, for me, is I'm not good with feelings. 780 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:55,600 I don't know why I went this route. 781 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:56,680 But I really do. 782 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,240 I see your struggle, but I accept it. 783 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,240 Yeah, just accept it for what it is. 784 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:02,760 I'm not going to. 785 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:06,000 Going way back past, we'll go back past. 786 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,040 I'll go back to 2008 with Dreya. 787 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:09,160 Oh, it's nice to. 788 00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:10,240 We need the music again. 789 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:10,920 We'll go way back. 790 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:11,720 Hold on. 791 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:12,400 No, not. 792 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:13,200 Oh, yeah, that one. 793 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,280 Yeah, that is the one. 794 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,840 But going back to 2008, I remember when I started knitting. 795 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:20,680 I started knitting several years before that. 796 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,320 But 2008 was really when I started to expand out 797 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:24,040 into other things. 798 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:30,440 And a friend of mine met me at Atlanta Bread Company. 799 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:31,800 And we were knitting together. 800 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:33,400 And she realized I had no. 801 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,840 I didn't even know what notions were. 802 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:37,160 And she took me to Michael's. 803 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:38,480 And she was like, here are stitch markers. 804 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:39,920 I'm like, I'm not going to use those. 805 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:41,080 What do I need those for? 806 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,400 I'm so serious. 807 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:47,480 And she was like, you've got to read the Yarn Harlots blog. 808 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,200 And I got really into reading knit blogs at the time. 809 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:51,120 I read Yarn Harlot. 810 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,160 I read Grimperina. 811 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,000 I read a whole bunch of other ones. 812 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,840 They're all defunct now, unfortunately. 813 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,520 And I remember reading the blogs and seeing 814 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:05,960 all these amazing patterns that these people were making. 815 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:10,000 And then they would talk about going on knitting retreats 816 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,920 and learning new techniques and making knitting friends. 817 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:16,440 And I just remember thinking at that time, 818 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:20,640 being I was like 24, 25 years old, 819 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,040 I'm thinking, I wish I could be a part of that. 820 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:24,400 Like, I wanted that. 821 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,920 It just sounded so cool. 822 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:30,040 And I'm sitting there making my stockinette hats 823 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:31,520 and garter stitch scarves. 824 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:35,000 And I'm like, I will never be like that. 825 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:36,280 I'm never going to be that cool. 826 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:41,600 And I'm never going to kind of be in that world 827 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:45,840 because I was so anxious about trying new things. 828 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:54,840 And fast forward to 2021, and we started the podcast. 829 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:56,000 And that was right around the time 830 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:57,520 that I started branching out. 831 00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:00,760 I had started trying new techniques a couple of months 832 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:02,920 before we started the podcast. 833 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:07,720 And right that fall was when I did my first test knit, 834 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:13,000 which, Tina, you were the one who kind of encouraged that. 835 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,240 And I don't test knit much anymore. 836 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,280 But I did enjoy it mainly because it kind of 837 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,120 gave me like a deadline. 838 00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:23,080 And over time, I was like, OK, I'm trying new things. 839 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:23,760 I'm trying lace. 840 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:24,520 I'm doing cables. 841 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:28,120 I'm doing sweaters, extensive color work. 842 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,040 And that was right around the time that we started 843 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,600 to create this community. 844 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:37,720 And realizing, oh my god, I am a part of that knitting community. 845 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,520 And also in tandem realizing that I never 846 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:44,520 needed to be great to be a part of it. 847 00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:48,240 And that realization along the way was worth everything. 848 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:52,240 Realizing that you don't need to be a fantastic knitter 849 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:53,960 to be a part of this community. 850 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:57,640 You don't need to do anything spectacular. 851 00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,680 Just by virtue of being part of the craft and loving it, 852 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:03,120 that makes you part of the community. 853 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,520 And that was such an awesome realization. 854 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,760 And I think it really hit me the first time 855 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:10,320 that we went to Reinbeck and started meeting up 856 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:10,880 with people. 857 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:14,800 I'm like, wow, we are in the knitting community. 858 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:16,080 We have knitting friends. 859 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:17,760 We do knitting things. 860 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,720 And the realization that I didn't have to be perfect 861 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:28,480 or be spectacular to be a part of that was really fantastic. 862 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:32,440 And I hope that everybody who knits or crochets 863 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:36,600 or does anything in the fiber arts understands that, 864 00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:37,640 gets that feeling. 865 00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:39,280 And I hope that's something that we've 866 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:43,120 promoted on this podcast over the last three years 867 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,920 that we've been doing this. 868 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,080 You don't need to be fantastic. 869 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:49,880 You just need to like what you're doing. 870 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,280 And you're already a part of this community. 871 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:53,400 I mean, here, here. 872 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,040 Yeah, and we're sitting here, you're like, yeah, do that thing. 873 00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:57,160 That's awesome. 874 00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,240 Yeah, we will all be personally cheering you 875 00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:03,640 on from the sidelines, no matter how you're doing. 876 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:04,960 There's something to be said. 877 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:08,240 Tina started the podcast. 878 00:34:08,240 --> 00:34:10,640 She just showed up here one day with all the recording 879 00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:12,760 equipment and said, we're doing this now. 880 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:14,000 And I love that. 881 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,200 But I don't think that we would be here if you didn't create 882 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,440 your own knitting circle here. 883 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:21,640 You taught me, Tina. 884 00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:22,280 No, it's true. 885 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:23,200 Yeah, it's true. 886 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,280 Yeah, you did. 887 00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,960 And you roped Jess in, too. 888 00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,880 I'm just sitting here like, yeah, I'm 889 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:32,560 going to do this other fiber thing. 890 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:34,920 And then we're getting other fiber people like, oh, I 891 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:36,240 do that fiber thing. 892 00:34:36,240 --> 00:34:39,320 And I feel like we're just slowly roping everybody in. 893 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:41,960 And it's awesome. 894 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:48,080 Really, we were before this podcast, we met for Knit Nights. 895 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,000 That was a thing we did. 896 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:55,760 And I was not the instigator of Knit Nights. 897 00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:56,560 Definitely not. 898 00:34:56,560 --> 00:35:01,680 I don't remember if you guys asked to learn how to knit 899 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:03,800 or if I was just like, this is a thing I do. 900 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,280 Does anybody else want to learn how to do it, too? 901 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:08,840 I don't remember how we started that. 902 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,480 I feel like I do remember this, actually, 903 00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,480 because Crystal went with me to that apartment. 904 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,440 No, it was like one night at my apartment 905 00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,280 and I had no furniture. 906 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,160 We had no furniture and we were just sitting on the carpet. 907 00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:25,920 Yeah, so I'm pretty sure you told us beforehand 908 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:27,280 that we were all going to learn how to knit. 909 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:29,320 Oh, no, that was the plan because I told everybody 910 00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,160 to bring yarn and needles. 911 00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:34,800 But I don't remember if I just decided to be like, 912 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:36,680 I'm having a Knit Night, everybody come over, 913 00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:38,360 or if people expressed an interest. 914 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:40,200 I feel like people expressed an interest. 915 00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:41,640 I don't think I would just randomly 916 00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:44,480 be like, everybody go buy some needles, we're doing this. 917 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:45,160 That's not me. 918 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,560 I just vaguely remember digging through the closet, 919 00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:49,800 back through the crafts that I had 920 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,200 abandoned for a while closet. 921 00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:52,880 Oh, god. 922 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:58,520 To find some needles and yarn that I could use that night. 923 00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:00,120 But there is something to be said 924 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,040 that if you don't have a knitting community, 925 00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,160 you can make your own. 926 00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:05,200 You can't make your own. 927 00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:06,560 You literally made your own. 928 00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:08,600 I did. 929 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:09,520 I didn't. 930 00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:10,200 That's the thing. 931 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:15,080 Everybody I knew knitted was online or lived out of state, 932 00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:16,240 pretty much. 933 00:36:16,240 --> 00:36:19,000 Or they were like my friend who took me to Michael's 934 00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:22,800 was a grown woman, middle aged with a child. 935 00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:26,440 She was not going to be available to just hang out 936 00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:27,560 and knit every week. 937 00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:28,840 Now look at us, grown women. 938 00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:30,320 I did not. 939 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:31,360 That's the thing. 940 00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:32,320 This is fair. 941 00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:37,600 I mean, and hang out with me, who was 22, 23 at the time. 942 00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:41,480 But yeah, that's really incredible. 943 00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:43,560 And now that I think about it, that this is just 944 00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:45,760 something that just built itself up. 945 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:50,000 And it seemed so far away at the time. 946 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,040 These people just getting together and having fun 947 00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:54,800 with sticks and string and then going to Fiber Fest. 948 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:56,920 And oh, my god, I remember the first time I read about Ryan 949 00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,520 back and I'm like, I want to go there. 950 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:04,280 And when you're 24 years old and you've barely driven anywhere, 951 00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,040 it's like, I'm not going to drive to New York. 952 00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,600 That's crazy by myself. 953 00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:09,280 That's fair. 954 00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:09,880 That's fair. 955 00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:11,120 But no, but I think that does. 956 00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:15,040 That really does encompass everything of we got together 957 00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:18,120 doing this as just a couple friends being like, hey, 958 00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:19,720 this sounds like a fun idea. 959 00:37:19,720 --> 00:37:21,720 And we're going to bring our knit night out. 960 00:37:21,720 --> 00:37:25,120 But it really has become a community of the people 961 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:32,160 that listen and join the Discord and join in to our knit circle. 962 00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,120 Even not present on the nights, it's like, 963 00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:36,120 you're still present because we're still thinking 964 00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,280 about the stuff that you talked about and the things 965 00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:41,400 a bunch of you have started and shared. 966 00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:44,160 I know a lot of people started getting into different crafts 967 00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:48,280 because of this or sharing back and forth questions. 968 00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:51,920 And hey, it's fun. 969 00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:52,560 It's nice. 970 00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:59,720 It's great to see that it's becoming a closer community. 971 00:37:59,720 --> 00:38:03,400 Close knit
