1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,000
I'm Drea.

2
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:02,000
I'm Meg.

3
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:03,000
I'm Tina.

4
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:04,360
And I'm Jess.

5
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:14,120
And this is Pardon My Stash.

6
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:18,560
Welcome to Pardon My Stash, a podcast about crafting within the fiber arts and how awesome

7
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:21,560
it is.

8
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:29,000
Before we get started on today's topics of interest, let's find out what everybody is

9
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,080
working on today.

10
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:32,080
Meg.

11
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:33,680
I am working sort of.

12
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:39,800
I've been really like, listen, listen, sort of, listen.

13
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,840
As I said last year at the beginning of the year is really, really bad for me with crafting

14
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:44,840
and sticking to stuff.

15
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,680
So let's be impressed that I've made it this far.

16
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,240
No, no, no, it doesn't.

17
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:54,680
You said let's be impressed.

18
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:55,680
Let's be.

19
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:56,680
I'm impressed.

20
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:04,160
I'm not going to be cautiously optimistic that I'm, I'm still working on the same project.

21
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:09,840
I'm working on Malvara Rosa by Candy Key of Expression Fiber Arts.

22
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,440
I've been working on this for about a month.

23
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:19,960
You can't tell because I'm getting about maybe a quarter of a row per day at this point on

24
00:01:19,960 --> 00:01:20,960
average.

25
00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:22,640
But you know what?

26
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:23,640
I'm still doing it.

27
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:24,640
So busy.

28
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,560
You're still doing it.

29
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,600
I don't have the drive in the first few months.

30
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,920
I actually was having a conversation with a friend of mine the other day.

31
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:34,960
We were talking about projects coming up.

32
00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:40,200
Mary, who listens to this podcast, and I showed her a shawl that I want to do and I'm like,

33
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:41,320
I have the yarn.

34
00:01:41,320 --> 00:01:42,320
I want to do it.

35
00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:46,680
And she's like, well, you should probably wait until after school because you want to

36
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,000
avoid that, that early year curse.

37
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,480
And I'm like, look at that.

38
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,680
People remember that I do.

39
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,720
I really struggle at the beginning of the year.

40
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,320
Everyone's keeping up with the lore.

41
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:57,720
Oh, God, it is.

42
00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:58,720
It's so bad.

43
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,920
But yeah, I am.

44
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:02,600
I am still working on it.

45
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:07,960
I'm making it out of Critical Hit Dyes Warlock in Vishka.

46
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:09,140
I'm still liking it.

47
00:02:09,140 --> 00:02:13,240
It's showing up all the cat hair, unfortunately.

48
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:17,100
I'm going to need to take a strong roller to this when I'm done.

49
00:02:17,100 --> 00:02:19,160
But so far, so good.

50
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:20,160
I'm just going.

51
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:21,160
We'll see.

52
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,680
Hopefully, hopefully it'll get done.

53
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:24,880
We'll see.

54
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,600
I'm proud of you for sticking with it, even if it's a stitch a day.

55
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:29,840
I'm very proud of you.

56
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,680
It's been a rough couple of months.

57
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,320
Like, OK, so so much going on.

58
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,320
And winter, I don't know, you would think winter is a good crafting time.

59
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,760
And for me, it just is not at all.

60
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,960
Yeah, just with your teaching schedule and all that.

61
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,400
It's yeah, it's just a lot like and then come summer.

62
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:45,680
I'm like, OK, I can do stuff.

63
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:46,680
But then it's hot.

64
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:47,680
So go figure.

65
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,320
I'm an anomaly.

66
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:52,320
Drea?

67
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,680
I am making a banana saurus.

68
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,560
I'm very excited because you have a half done one.

69
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:58,840
It looks like his legs.

70
00:02:58,840 --> 00:02:59,840
It's got feet.

71
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:00,840
Oh, my goodness.

72
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:01,840
It does have feet.

73
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:02,840
I am very excited.

74
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,040
Your foray into crochet.

75
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,580
So I have made like eight turtles.

76
00:03:07,580 --> 00:03:09,120
I don't have a pattern for it.

77
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,040
It just it came with that kit.

78
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:12,480
I keep making the turtles.

79
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:13,960
They're making me really happy.

80
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,600
Army of Turtles is coming.

81
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,240
This is a crochet pattern.

82
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,040
I'm impressed that you're reading crochet pattern, man.

83
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,320
I can barely read those like at all.

84
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,320
It is so hard.

85
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,440
Very fortunate that this is a very simple pattern.

86
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,000
Amigurumi's are usually written out.

87
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,000
Oh, that's nice.

88
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,000
Yeah.

89
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,000
Charts.

90
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,000
I know.

91
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,000
No, that's nice.

92
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,000
Not doing charts.

93
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,000
I'm not ready for that yet.

94
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,240
But I only had to learn nothing.

95
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,240
Actually, I already knew how to do all those.

96
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:41,240
That's awesome.

97
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:42,240
Hey.

98
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,520
So is this like a stuffy or is it like?

99
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:46,520
It's going to be a stuffy.

100
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:47,520
It's going to be a stuffy.

101
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:53,320
Christopher, actually, my brother Christopher sent me a picture of a Bananasaurus with no

102
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:54,320
comment.

103
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:55,320
He would.

104
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:56,940
He would.

105
00:03:56,940 --> 00:04:01,840
And I decided that I was going to go online and I found the pattern.

106
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:06,040
And whenever this is done, I'm just going to put it in the mail and in a box with no

107
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:07,040
comment.

108
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:08,600
I'm not even going to tell him he's going to get it.

109
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:09,600
Perfection.

110
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:10,600
That's great.

111
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:11,600
A plus.

112
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:12,600
A plus.

113
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,480
Now, yes, I had to rip this back like two or three times because one time.

114
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,800
And two of the feet were inside out.

115
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:22,680
And then I fixed it, ripped it back, put them all on again.

116
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,720
And I didn't actually turn the feet right side out.

117
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,560
So you ripped them out and put them back the same way.

118
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:30,560
That sucks.

119
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:31,560
I did.

120
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:32,560
Oh, that sucks.

121
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:40,600
But I had a really fun moment with my therapist because I was on I was on a zoom with my therapist

122
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,240
and I was talking to him about the Bananasaurus as well.

123
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,440
And he was like, oh, no, that must be so heartbreaking.

124
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,560
I was like, actually, Bruce, look at this.

125
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,160
And I just ripped it out with him watching me and he goes, oh, that looks so cathartic.

126
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:52,680
And I'm like, yeah, it is.

127
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:53,680
Look at me.

128
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:54,680
I'm learning.

129
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:55,680
A plus therapeuticness.

130
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,280
Yeah, that's a lot there.

131
00:04:57,280 --> 00:05:02,700
And I'm not afraid to like screw up and then go back and do it again.

132
00:05:02,700 --> 00:05:03,700
That's good.

133
00:05:03,700 --> 00:05:04,700
Yeah.

134
00:05:04,700 --> 00:05:05,700
That's really a positive.

135
00:05:05,700 --> 00:05:06,700
I know.

136
00:05:06,700 --> 00:05:07,700
I'm waiting for that knitting any day now.

137
00:05:07,700 --> 00:05:08,700
Any day.

138
00:05:08,700 --> 00:05:09,700
It's easier to.

139
00:05:09,700 --> 00:05:10,700
I think it helps.

140
00:05:10,700 --> 00:05:13,280
It just it comes up so quick.

141
00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:16,320
It's a more controlled frogging than knitting.

142
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:17,320
Yes.

143
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:18,320
It's way more controlled.

144
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:19,320
Yes.

145
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,960
I actually love frogging crochet.

146
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,960
You can't accidentally mess up the whole project when you can't accidentally go down three

147
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,320
rows on one stitch, but not any of the others.

148
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:30,320
There's none of that.

149
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:31,320
You're just spiraling, man.

150
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,320
Oh, I love it so much.

151
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:34,320
It's a good spiral.

152
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,720
I want to frog all of my crochet projects.

153
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,320
You got to crochet a frog and then frog it because that would be hilarious.

154
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:45,960
I might actually.

155
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:50,760
So this is the Bananasaurus crochet pattern by Emerald Rose Crochet.

156
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:56,320
I am using Joanne Fabrics Big Twist in Baby Bear.

157
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:57,320
Nice.

158
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,080
I love it.

159
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:00,560
This is like super cozy.

160
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:06,160
And just so you know, in case you're wondering, the colorway is yellow, as you would expect.

161
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:07,160
Excuse me.

162
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:08,160
It is sunshine.

163
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:09,640
It's so squishy.

164
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:10,640
My bad, guys.

165
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,560
And I'm also using cream.

166
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:13,560
Oh, OK.

167
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:14,920
For the inside of the banana.

168
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,000
For the banana, yes.

169
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,080
The Saurus part, if you will.

170
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,360
I made banana leaves.

171
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:27,600
I already made the peel.

172
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:28,600
I'm very excited.

173
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:29,600
This is going to be big.

174
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:30,600
Like I'm looking at it.

175
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,440
It's going to be really big.

176
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:37,800
You know what the best thing about these things are is you can change your sizes just on the

177
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,440
weight of yarn you use.

178
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,240
So you could totally just make a mini one.

179
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:43,800
Or you could make a gargantuan one.

180
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:50,160
I made a mistake and I bought really bad yarn for it.

181
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,480
It looked like it was little yarn and it looked like it was all held together.

182
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,360
And then I got it home and I started working with it and it was like 12 ply.

183
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:01,560
And I was like, why did they make this?

184
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:06,080
Like I wasn't the one that bought it.

185
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:07,080
Someone else's fault.

186
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:13,240
I know, I made all of the banana peels for that one and decided that I hated working

187
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:14,240
with that yarn.

188
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:15,240
So that's fair.

189
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:16,240
I got the big one.

190
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:17,600
I got the big yarn instead.

191
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:18,600
There you go.

192
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,440
So it's going to be a big banana source.

193
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:21,840
I'm very excited.

194
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,120
Jess?

195
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:31,760
I am still working on the catnip pullover by Andrea Rangel.

196
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,000
It's slow going.

197
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:39,440
My crafting hyper fixation I had last year died.

198
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,640
Damn you ADHD.

199
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,640
It died in a flood of Legos.

200
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:45,640
I mean sort of.

201
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:46,640
In a flood of Legos.

202
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:47,640
It did.

203
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,280
So I'm working at it.

204
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:55,360
I'm trying to at least keep it, you know, the embers going on it.

205
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,280
So I'm getting some stuff done, but it's slow going.

206
00:07:58,280 --> 00:07:59,280
Yeah.

207
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:03,480
I like the crochet blanket is probably not going to be done in time for fair.

208
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:04,680
I'm still working on that too.

209
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,960
I considered working on that tonight, but that I have to read a chart for and I didn't

210
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:09,960
feel like doing that right now.

211
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,240
I mean, I'm reading a chart for this one, but it's a color work chart and it's easier

212
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:14,240
to read.

213
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,280
So I figured that was the better plan for tonight.

214
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:23,280
But yeah, so I am, I am slowly, slowly working on stuff and keeping it going.

215
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:30,960
And it's just, it's just one of those, one of those things that happens when the fixation

216
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,680
just dies.

217
00:08:33,680 --> 00:08:39,200
I'm sure everybody, the nerd divergence right now is going, I feel that.

218
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:40,600
And it stinks when you're in the slump.

219
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,600
It's so inconvenient.

220
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:48,120
You you, you, you, you, I have a name.

221
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,120
I know, I know.

222
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:51,120
I know I'm kidding.

223
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:57,400
I am working on the Northward Beanie by Tin Can Knit.

224
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:05,320
I'm using sugar maple fibers in their bulky single ply in colorway sugar maple.

225
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:13,360
And I'm almost done with it actually, because I'm, I'm on like the last cable before the

226
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,400
decreases.

227
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,040
So I should start decreasing soon.

228
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:19,280
Yeah.

229
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:23,880
And again, I brought this because like, like Jess mentioned with her project, this is just

230
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:28,400
easier to work on while we're podcasting.

231
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:33,200
I have paused on the wedding shawl that I mentioned a few months back.

232
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:38,440
And that's just because the wedding ceremony, like they're married, but the ceremony piece

233
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,760
got postponed to like the fall.

234
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:41,760
So I have more time with that.

235
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:46,160
So I'm just going to like, if that's, if anyone was like, oh my God, the wedding, I'm like,

236
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,760
no, I have a lot more time now.

237
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:57,120
And I have like a bunch of projects set up with like yarn and bags and ready to go.

238
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:58,520
But I just need a quick win right now.

239
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,640
So I'm going to do this one first.

240
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:01,640
That's it for me.

241
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:07,680

part of my stash.com.

250
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:43,820
All right, I feel like we have a lot to talk about this week.

251
00:10:43,820 --> 00:10:51,800
Maybe because there's just been a lot of happenings in the fiber world anyway.

252
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:58,040
And before we get started, I just want to take a moment of silence for the US based

253
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,320
craft store is to retailer Joann's.

254
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,960
They were recently bought by a liquidator.

255
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,200
And they are going to officially officially close down for good.

256
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:12,400
Pour one out for for the Joann stores.

257
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,680
Meg, where's your mom going to get all of her?

258
00:11:14,680 --> 00:11:16,600
Oh, no, my mom moved on.

259
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,120
She buys it all online at this point.

260
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:25,320
Or there's there's actually this really massive fabric store in Maine where she goes on retreat.

261
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:26,320
Because I said the same thing.

262
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:27,320
Trust me.

263
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:28,800
I was like, what are you going to do?

264
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:29,800
You're good, mom.

265
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,440
And she was used to work at Joann's years ago.

266
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:36,680
She picked it up as a second job when I was younger and she was really good at it.

267
00:11:36,680 --> 00:11:41,280
But you know, she probably spent most of her paycheck there.

268
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,320
As we all would if we worked in a yarn store.

269
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,800
So no, she she she does it because I said the same thing.

270
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:51,080
And she, you know, after she finished calling me a smart ass, she told me she buys most

271
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:52,480
of it online at this point.

272
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,520
So she's good.

273
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,880
But yeah, but it is kind of like that.

274
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:02,400
She did say it's going to be a lot more of a pain in the neck to buy like, for example,

275
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:06,560
she buys a lot of white thread for her quilting.

276
00:12:06,560 --> 00:12:11,680
And that's something like you could easily jet into any single Joann's and grab a whole

277
00:12:11,680 --> 00:12:12,840
bunch of them.

278
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,160
But now, you know, buying it online is you got to wait.

279
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:23,520
So yeah, there's not really a lot of like fabric type shops out there.

280
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:28,600
Yeah, I don't even like I'm thinking about Michaels and I think Michaels has embroidery

281
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,360
floss, but I don't think it has thread.

282
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:36,760
Oh, by the way, Michaels was quoted about the Joanne situation by saying, I win.

283
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,520
Wait, where was that?

284
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:39,520
I just made that up.

285
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:46,520
I don't know if you guys ever heard about the whole like made up story of Joanne and

286
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:50,360
Michael being a married couple and then they divorced and not hear that.

287
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,400
OK, so there is this random story that I've seen on the Internet thrown about a couple

288
00:12:54,400 --> 00:13:00,560
times where the theory and lore behind Joanne's and Michael's is that they were once a married

289
00:13:00,560 --> 00:13:01,560
couple.

290
00:13:01,560 --> 00:13:05,000
They fought over what a craft store should be.

291
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:09,160
And Joanne's made their own and Michael's made their own and they are now divorced.

292
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:13,840
So it's again, Michael's Michael's is pretty happy.

293
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:19,080
The major the major difference between the two is that Joanne had fabric and Michaels

294
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,120
does not correct.

295
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:26,080
They both have about the same other departments like I'm trying to think about something that

296
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:27,560
one has that the other doesn't.

297
00:13:27,560 --> 00:13:30,060
Michaels has a lot more kits.

298
00:13:30,060 --> 00:13:32,200
So like if you want, that's true.

299
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:38,520
Random like kits about like, I don't know, beading or like embroidery kits, like all

300
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,600
the they have a bunch of those.

301
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:45,560
I would say more selection than Joanne, but they have no fabric.

302
00:13:45,560 --> 00:13:48,160
No, there is no fabric.

303
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:53,880
And honestly, I was like kind of disappointed in their embroidery section as well.

304
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:54,880
Like they have the floss.

305
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:55,880
Yeah.

306
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:56,880
If you need floss or needles, like great.

307
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:01,320
But if you're looking for like patterns, they don't have those Michaels doesn't even the

308
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:02,320
hoops.

309
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:03,320
They don't have that many sides.

310
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,560
They don't have a ton of different size of hoops or either.

311
00:14:05,560 --> 00:14:11,200
So I'm feeling kind of away though, because like I don't really go to Joanne's that often,

312
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:16,960
but it was a big part of my growing up because we went there all the time when I was a kid.

313
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,880
Because that was before, you know, before we had the internet and before my mom discovered

314
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:25,760
online shopping and we went to Joanne's and we went to this place called the fabric place,

315
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,760
which is long out of business.

316
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:29,840
Um, that's kind of sad.

317
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:34,880
Like for the cosplay days, where could you go and get some fabric real quick?

318
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:41,600
Oh, those days where can you find something that kind of looks like leather, but isn't

319
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:42,600
it?

320
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:43,600
Yeah.

321
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,240
Because I don't want to wear leather and is definitely on clearance.

322
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:51,320
You go to the curtain section by the way, the upholstery section.

323
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:56,160
Oh, those are the days you get their foam.

324
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:57,160
Yeah.

325
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:03,920
It is too bad, but I have to say I'm making out like a bandit right now because I'm getting

326
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:05,440
all the big twist.

327
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:06,440
Yeah.

328
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:07,440
I am.

329
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:08,440
That's good.

330
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:12,000
Do you know how many plushies I have in me?

331
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,520
Hey, that's I don't know yet.

332
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:14,520
That's good.

333
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:18,840
I mean, don't ask me what I'm going to do with them because I don't know who cares.

334
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,920
Just going to make who cares what you listen.

335
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,920
Do you know how much stuff Jess makes and it never goes anywhere?

336
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,400
She's just having fun making it and just making it like it's okay.

337
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:31,400
I am running out of room for turtles, but you know what?

338
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:32,400
Sorry Frank.

339
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,960
I still, the army is growing.

340
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:36,960
I still got to make them.

341
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:37,960
I still got to make them.

342
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:48,040
He's like, but you could stop buying the yarn, but Frank, I don't think Frank would tell

343
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:52,760
me not to buy more yarn, but I'm definitely buying more yarn.

344
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,880
There's a lot of, there's a lot of turtles in here.

345
00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,040
I feel like that would be like the extent he wouldn't be telling you not to make them.

346
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,880
He would just bring up that there's a lot of terms.

347
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:08,560
I like Meg's idea about just leaving turtles random places when you have too many turtles.

348
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:12,240
I'm just imagining like you go into the bank and there's like, no, no, no, no, you go into

349
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,760
the bank, you ask the teller and then you're just like, that's for you.

350
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:15,760
No, no explanation.

351
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:21,240
I think if the turtles were small, I would do that.

352
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,280
If I knew you were small, you have big turtles.

353
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:24,280
I have big turtles.

354
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:25,280
Okay.

355
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:26,280
But that's even funnier.

356
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:27,280
Even funnier.

357
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:28,920
Pull this massive turtle out of your bag.

358
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:29,920
This is yours now.

359
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:30,920
This is for you.

360
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:35,640
What you really freak them out is like, if you know that's where you're going, but like

361
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:39,200
embroider the bank logo on it real quick before you go.

362
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,600
If you want to drive your waiter nuts at the restaurant, instead of leaving a tip, you

363
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,040
could leave a turtle or leave it with the tip.

364
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,960
I would leave it better on the tip.

365
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,600
Don't say don't stand at the tip.

366
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:53,960
Just put yeah, turtle and then a tip.

367
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:55,200
These turtles are going to go places.

368
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,960
Hey, I don't know where they're going, but they're going where they're going to be.

369
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:04,400
And with this liquidator, I'd also like to point out that they are the type not to do,

370
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:10,920
you're not going to see, I don't think there's going to be like a 75 or 80% off on the yarn.

371
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:16,080
It's just not going to happen because this liquidator enjoys going to about 40, 50%.

372
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:20,400
And then at that point, they close everything down and then they're going to bulk sell to

373
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:28,000
like either an ocean state job lot or an Ollie's or some kind of bulk liquidator that will,

374
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:33,240
you know, it's one think of, I don't know what you have near you, but it's basically

375
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:38,000
the store that you go to that has all the odds and ends from other stores overstock

376
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,360
and stuff like that, some kind of discount store.

377
00:17:40,360 --> 00:17:42,760
So you could also hold out for that too.

378
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:48,040
I know ocean stage job lot tends to end up with a lot of lion brand.

379
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,360
I actually randomly found lion brand there all the time.

380
00:17:51,360 --> 00:17:58,360
So but if you're hoping to see like this huge massive sale, I don't think you're going to

381
00:17:58,360 --> 00:18:05,840
see it on higher ticket items that can sell well at other places like the yarn.

382
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:09,920
The fabric, I don't think so either, but I think like you're going to see that eight,

383
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:15,400
like the 75% off on like furniture or like storage things or like things that are harder

384
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,200
to sell in other capacities.

385
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:25,280
So I think too, like thinking back to the borders liquidation back in 2011 and yeah,

386
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:26,280
right.

387
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,600
And you know, a lot of people like they kept holding out saying like, oh, I'm going to

388
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:30,600
wait.

389
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:34,320
And by the time things actually did like start hitting rock bottom prices, like everything

390
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:35,320
was gone.

391
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:36,320
Right.

392
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:37,320
Yeah.

393
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,440
Like I remember going there with, um, with a friend and people walked in there like,

394
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:41,840
oh, no game of Thrones.

395
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:45,320
It's like, yeah, that would have been the first thing to go.

396
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:49,200
Like, I remember hearing people saying that and it was just, of course it's all gone.

397
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:53,440
Like people are going to go in there and even if it's not at rock bottom price yet, they're

398
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,640
going to, they're going to grab it now.

399
00:18:55,640 --> 00:19:01,360
Even the 25% that they got going right now is still a pretty, that's a decent price.

400
00:19:01,360 --> 00:19:02,360
Yeah.

401
00:19:02,360 --> 00:19:04,200
Based on that they usually have 20%.

402
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,720
So you're 25 is still better than what you would normally do.

403
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,480
I am very happy getting all this.

404
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:11,480
Yeah.

405
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,160
Especially if you're going to use it, if you're going to use it and you know you're going

406
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,240
to use it, you might as well just go now.

407
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:17,240
Yeah.

408
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:21,200
But if, um, if you're just buying to buy, then just, you might as well just wait and

409
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,000
see what's leftover, but I'm telling you right now, you're not going to be happy with the

410
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:25,000
leftovers.

411
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,000
Yeah.

412
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,600
But yeah, poor one out.

413
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:29,600
Joanne.

414
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,360
And be nice to the people who work there.

415
00:19:31,360 --> 00:19:32,360
Yes, please.

416
00:19:32,360 --> 00:19:34,440
Because that's a hard time for them.

417
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,440
Don't be going in there demanding things.

418
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:37,440
Okay.

419
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,200
They're just trying to like, they're just trying to live their lives guys.

420
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,840
Just, just let them be nice.

421
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:44,640
Yeah, it's a tough time.

422
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:45,780
Lead with kindness, please.

423
00:19:45,780 --> 00:19:49,760
It's really hard to continue working knowing that you're not going to be working there.

424
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:50,760
Yeah.

425
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:51,760
Yeah.

426
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:52,760
Yeah.

427
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:53,760
Definitely.

428
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:55,720
We all just need to lead with kindness in general.

429
00:19:55,720 --> 00:20:00,800
Now that we've somberly gotten sad, I don't know how to transition from that.

430
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,240
I have mixed feelings though.

431
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:04,240
What's your mixed feeling?

432
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:09,160
Like I'm sad that they're going out of business, but I'm also thrilled that I'm getting such

433
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:10,160
a good deal.

434
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:11,600
No, I mean like, I'll be honest.

435
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:16,160
I really just personally very rarely go to Joann's.

436
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:22,360
The only time I go to Joann at this point is like when they had the sale on the storage

437
00:20:22,360 --> 00:20:23,360
stuff.

438
00:20:23,360 --> 00:20:25,760
Like stuff that I know I'm definitely going to use.

439
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,200
I'm not buying Joann yarn.

440
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:34,360
I just, to be honest, from my perspective, I end up with a lot of that yarn at Yarn Saver.

441
00:20:34,360 --> 00:20:35,360
It sells.

442
00:20:35,360 --> 00:20:36,360
People buy it.

443
00:20:36,360 --> 00:20:37,360
Yeah.

444
00:20:37,360 --> 00:20:41,560
But if I want it, like honestly, I could probably just dip into my own inventory if I really

445
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:42,560
wanted to.

446
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:52,000
But it's pretty, big box yarn ends up being a lot of the close out and sells that I get

447
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,000
at Yarn Saver.

448
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,960
So I'm not running to Joann's for yarn.

449
00:20:55,960 --> 00:21:00,760
But like I said, if you have something that you know you use, like Dre does with her crochet,

450
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,200
then go there.

451
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:03,320
Pick it up now.

452
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:07,280
Don't wait because it's probably going to end up, I wouldn't be surprised if it's already

453
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:11,320
starting to sparse out.

454
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:15,560
We've been talking about, I wanted to ask a question to our listeners because we've been

455
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:19,760
talking about doing like these mini bonus episodes.

456
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:26,440
So sometimes we get questions about how some of our separate business entities work, such

457
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:33,600
as yarn dyeing or pattern designing, just how to podcast sort of thing.

458
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:42,560
So basically what we are asking is if you guys are interested in learning about either

459
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:50,560
how to do a podcast or questions that would be prevalent to critical hit dyes or yarn

460
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:57,220
saver or pattern design in general, graphic art design, feel free to send those questions

461
00:21:57,220 --> 00:21:58,380
over through our website.

462
00:21:58,380 --> 00:22:03,360
You can just use the regular contact form at the bottom of the page and let us know

463
00:22:03,360 --> 00:22:04,960
what those questions are.

464
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:10,760
And we may use them for short bonus episodes that we will release through the regular podcast

465
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:11,760
feed.

466
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:16,560
They'll be marked as bonus so that you know that they are a bonus episode.

467
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,920
And there'll be a slightly different format, probably more in like an interview style where

468
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:24,360
we're talking with, if it's say critical it dies, we'll be talking with Meg and Jess and

469
00:22:24,360 --> 00:22:30,780
asking them different questions that have come up about how their business functions.

470
00:22:30,780 --> 00:22:36,120
So send those questions in at your leisure.

471
00:22:36,120 --> 00:22:39,080
I had posed questions to our discord.

472
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,040
If you don't know that we have a discord, we do.

473
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:42,040
We have a discord.

474
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:47,560
It's basically if you don't know what discord is, it's an online forum that you can go on

475
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:53,200
and there's different threads and channels that you can go into and talk about different

476
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:54,200
topics.

477
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,200
For people our age, think old school chat rooms.

478
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:57,200
Yes.

479
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:01,320
Chat rooms or even just like forums, like remember like just forums in general, like

480
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,040
that's very similar.

481
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:08,280
So we had the discord when we had a membership system.

482
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:12,400
We don't have a membership system anymore, but we had no reason to get rid of the discord

483
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,160
because it doesn't cost us anything to keep it up.

484
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:21,320
So if you want to get to our discord, if you go to our website, either at the top of the

485
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,500
page or the bottom of the page, there is a discord button.

486
00:23:24,500 --> 00:23:27,320
If you click on that, it will open up our server.

487
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:32,480
You're only going to see one channel if you haven't been given a listener role and it's

488
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:33,800
called open general.

489
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:38,400
And all you need to do is go into open general and say, I am a human.

490
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,900
I am not a robot.

491
00:23:40,900 --> 00:23:44,440
And that's basically the sanity check to make sure that you're not a spam bot.

492
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,320
That's exactly what a robot would say.

493
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:47,320
I know.

494
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:48,320
I know.

495
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:49,320
It's fine.

496
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,440
I mean, you could, you could even say like, oh, I really enjoyed this up, whatever.

497
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,120
Let us know that you're a real person.

498
00:23:55,120 --> 00:24:00,160
And then we'll, we basically edit your role, give you a listener role.

499
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:04,600
And then all that does is just open opens up all the other channels that you can chat

500
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:05,600
in.

501
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:14,960
We have a channel for part of my stash content for the make-alongs, random topics like yarn

502
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:19,860
and patterns and what we're working on, like different whips.

503
00:24:19,860 --> 00:24:27,560
But in the, in the discord, we had asked about like a month or so ago about things that our

504
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:31,640
listeners would be interested in us talking about.

505
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,800
And so think of this as like a Q and a to a degree.

506
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,800
But some of these are, I, some of these, I think we could do full episodes on, but some

507
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:44,340
of these, I think we can kind of gather together and chat about it today.

508
00:24:44,340 --> 00:24:52,620
So I'm going to throw out some of these suggestions and questions and you guys let me know what

509
00:24:52,620 --> 00:24:53,620
you think.

510
00:24:53,620 --> 00:24:55,320
All right.

511
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,580
So I'm going to do this one first cause it's fun.

512
00:24:58,580 --> 00:25:00,400
I love llamas and alpacas.

513
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,400
Can you take Dre to an alpaca farm and live stream it?

514
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:04,400
Yes.

515
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,400
Is that even a real question?

516
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,040
No, I don't think it's a real question.

517
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,840
I just, I'm going to take that as a heavy suggestion.

518
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:12,840
And yes, absolutely.

519
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:13,840
Sign me up.

520
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,000
Yeah, we got to, we have to locate an alpaca farm.

521
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:20,920
If you're an alpaca farm or a llama farm in Connecticut, like send us a DM or a message

522
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,960
so that we can get Dre over to your, to your farm.

523
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,880
We will proudly advertise your farm.

524
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:32,480
I will happily bother all of your small farm animals.

525
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:33,960
There's one large farm animals.

526
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:38,360
I'm like the border of like Morris and Litchfield and I'm talking like four or five, six.

527
00:25:38,360 --> 00:25:39,360
No, it was longer than that.

528
00:25:39,360 --> 00:25:40,780
Mary wasn't alive yet.

529
00:25:40,780 --> 00:25:43,000
Years ago we were driving.

530
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,600
And we were literally driving down this road and we passed this sign.

531
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:51,720
And I mean, I, I like slammed on the brakes and we both look at each other and we're like,

532
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,120
did that say yard sale or yarn sale?

533
00:25:54,120 --> 00:25:56,400
We never reversed so fast.

534
00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:00,800
And we like turned that car around and we went back and it definitely said yarn sale

535
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,080
and we're like, well, we're going to that.

536
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,720
And it was, it was an alpaca farm.

537
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,600
So I clearly couldn't touch her by any of the yarn.

538
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,640
But we did get to go see the alpacas, which was fun.

539
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,160
I don't know if they're like open to the public most days though.

540
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,400
I think they're not.

541
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:17,400
But that was so funny.

542
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,920
I mean, both of us saw it at the same time.

543
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:24,600
And when I, I hit the brakes without even saying anything to her and then we'll look

544
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:25,600
at each other.

545
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:33,200
Like they also, there was one time we were there and they proposed us buying it.

546
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:34,200
Yeah.

547
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,040
But they wanted like a whole lot of money.

548
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:38,040
Yeah.

549
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:39,040
They were, they were.

550
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,360
So they weren't like, I don't think they were like ready to sell or anything like that,

551
00:26:42,360 --> 00:26:46,040
but they were talking about like some day, but they also proposed an amount of money

552
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:47,320
that we would never have.

553
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:48,320
Yes.

554
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,680
So I just have this visual of every time they have a customer, hello, do you have millions

555
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,160
of dollars to buy our farm?

556
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,600
I mean, you think about it, it probably was worth it.

557
00:26:55,600 --> 00:27:01,200
I mean, you think, think about the area and the number of alpacas and property too.

558
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:02,200
Right.

559
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:03,440
So probably completely worth it.

560
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,040
Girl, I don't got that money.

561
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,640
The yarn that they were selling was inside the house.

562
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:08,640
Yeah.

563
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:09,640
The house was nice too.

564
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:13,080
Like we went, we went in, I got to look at it, couldn't touch it.

565
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,360
Um, but yeah, I could, I could definitely see, I mean, you think about it also, you

566
00:27:16,360 --> 00:27:21,640
already have the stock and they're fully grown to the point where you're able to shear them

567
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:22,960
and get the wall.

568
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,640
Like there's a lot of money in, in that.

569
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,200
So yeah, that was funny.

570
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:30,200
Yeah.

571
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:35,920
That, that sounds like a fun fiber dream that I cannot afford.

572
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:42,160
So yeah, that would be really like really affordable is just visiting one.

573
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:43,160
Yes.

574
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:44,160
We can visit.

575
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:45,480
We are down for that.

576
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:46,480
Yeah.

577
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:50,640
We will, we will put it in as a note and we're going to look at our calendar and figure out

578
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,960
a day we all can go and check that out.

579
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:55,120
Um, all right.

580
00:27:55,120 --> 00:28:03,080
So other, um, comments that came up, um, the spouse cameos and interviewing Frank and Pat

581
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,280
about their yarn knitting knowledge.

582
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:12,560
Um, and I think we chatted about this off, uh, off recording and it, the idea of interviewing

583
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:15,040
Frank and Pat is kind of hysterical.

584
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:20,120
Um, so I think, um, that's definitely something that we can do, but again, we would have to

585
00:28:20,120 --> 00:28:26,340
like plan it and figure out when we can get them up here to start recording.

586
00:28:26,340 --> 00:28:29,680
There was also a lot of questions about interchangeable needles.

587
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:34,800
I kind of want to upgrade from what I have now, but I am also hesitant to shell out for

588
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:40,040
a premium set if it doesn't make that much difference in comfort or outcome.

589
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:45,560
Um, another one I'd like to know more about interchangeable needle sets and any unique

590
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,160
fiber contents.

591
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:53,240
Um, love to learn, hear more about specific parts of knitting, especially needles.

592
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,240
I'd like to hear an option on needle sets.

593
00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:00,040
I'm thinking of buying a short set for hats, do sock sets exist?

594
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:04,160
Um, so a lot of needles, everyone's got questions about needles people.

595
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:08,920
So needles are tough because they're so individual.

596
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:13,880
And I think you don't really get to know what you like unless you've tried a whole lot of

597
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:14,920
different kinds.

598
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:19,200
If I was ever going to give anybody advice about buying a needle set, it would be try

599
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:27,640
out a whole bunch of different solo brands and yeah, and not splurge on a big set until

600
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:33,620
you know you like the feel, you like the points, you like the weight.

601
00:29:33,620 --> 00:29:35,920
Some needles are a lot heavier than others.

602
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:41,080
Um, all four of us have very different needle preferences.

603
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:42,080
Yeah.

604
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:46,960
I mean, Jess and I share needles a lot just because it's what we have, but she would prefer

605
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,040
sharper needles if given the option.

606
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:53,160
And I don't because I'm, I'm a push knitter, not a pull knitter.

607
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,360
And I just wind up hurting myself.

608
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:56,360
Same.

609
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:57,360
Yeah.

610
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:58,360
Yeah.

611
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:02,400
It honestly, for me, I'm not loyal to any specific set.

612
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,840
It really just depends on what I'm working on.

613
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:08,920
So I feel like I have, um, if you have a very specific project you're trying to work on,

614
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:16,920
I could give you a recommendation, but based on what I like, but I'm also, um, uh, how

615
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:21,280
did you reference it, the difference between you and Jess and how, oh my God, push versus

616
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:22,280
pull.

617
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:23,280
Yeah.

618
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:24,280
Push versus pull.

619
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:25,280
Yeah.

620
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,080
So I'm definitely more of a, um, pull.

621
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:34,360
So I would, there's certain sets that make sense, um, in my, in my case than others.

622
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,200
And just like for the record, when I say like a push knitter versus a pull knitter, what

623
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:41,960
I'm talking about is like when you finish the stitch, you either like kind of slip the

624
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:48,520
stitch off the needle with your finger and like pull it off or you push the needle through.

625
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:52,760
I push it and I found that out the hard way when I was knitting bobbles with an extremely

626
00:30:52,760 --> 00:31:00,440
sharp tip and I ended up having to like bandage my finger because it had like a callus from

627
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:04,160
the amount of times I pushed the sharp point to it.

628
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:09,680
So I know I brought that up on a podcast episode like two and a half years ago, just, just

629
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:13,040
for people that are sitting like, what the hell is a push versus a pull net or like what

630
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:14,040
is going on?

631
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:15,040
Yeah.

632
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:16,040
Look it up.

633
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:21,240
It's actually really interesting because no, that there's a difference.

634
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:25,760
Like I never thought about it until I looked it up because I'm like, how are you a pull

635
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:26,760
now?

636
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:27,760
Like how do you get that to work?

637
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,960
You need some really slidey needles for that and people do it and so fast.

638
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:36,480
And I am also pushing it or which is why I don't know why I like the, the sharp needles.

639
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,760
Um, I just have callus fingers.

640
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:47,240
I feel like with Portuguese style, um, it's just more, um, it lends itself to pull.

641
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:51,640
Um, you just don't, I don't know why, but it actually to do the push part, it would

642
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,640
actually be put my hands in an awkward position.

643
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:56,680
I mean, that's fair.

644
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,320
And I think it's just a lot of like what you're used to.

645
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:04,320
If I had to, I mean, honestly, if I had to pick a set carbons is my favorite, the Knitter's

646
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:05,400
pride carbons.

647
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,920
I'm, I'm an aficionado.

648
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:09,600
I've had two sets of them.

649
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,440
I just got another one for Christmas and I was pumped.

650
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,440
Shout out to my mother and father-in-law.

651
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,600
Um, but I just like those.

652
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:17,720
I like the feel of them.

653
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,680
I like they've got a midi tip, so it's not too sharp.

654
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:21,800
It's not too blunt.

655
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:22,800
They're not bad.

656
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:23,800
I like them.

657
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:24,800
Yeah.

658
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:28,120
And then I don't think that they're super heavy and they're certainly not slippery or

659
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:29,120
sticky.

660
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:34,280
So that would be my choice, but that's me.

661
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:39,360
I usually get the meditation lace, I think from Knitter's was it Knitter's pride?

662
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:40,360
Yeah.

663
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:44,960
Um, I have, uh, held the, what is it?

664
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:50,080
It's like the lantern moon needles and they're so nice, but they're way outside my budget.

665
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:53,520
So I don't actually own any of those, but they're a nice feel.

666
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:58,680
I would say if you have the option, if, if the place you're going to gives you the option

667
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:03,160
to, um, hold the needle, see what they feel like in your hand, see even to sometimes they

668
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:07,320
will put like a little, you know, like yarn out there, like knit a row or something with

669
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,340
them, see how they, they work for you.

670
00:33:09,340 --> 00:33:15,720
If that's an option, honestly, that's why, um, my crochet hook that I got, um, they did,

671
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:19,640
they did that and now I'm completely forgot the name of the company.

672
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:26,040
I'll try and do it for the blog, but, um, they had a whole selection and, um, they were,

673
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:30,920
they like handmade the handles, so they were all a little bit different.

674
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:35,840
So they encouraged you to hold each one and kind of crochet with it a bit to see if you

675
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:37,920
like the grip, if you like the feel.

676
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:41,960
Um, and it was really cool and they were also interchangeable hooks, which is nice.

677
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:47,960
So you would get the, the handle and then you could buy the hook heads to go interchange

678
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:48,960
with it.

679
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:50,280
So that was neat.

680
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:54,880
Um, so yeah, if you find a place that gives you an option before, because sets are expensive,

681
00:33:54,880 --> 00:34:00,880
um, see, yeah, see if you try it, see if you like it before you commit to a whole set.

682
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:06,360
Because oftentimes they are, they are expensive, but if you like them, they are definitely

683
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:09,000
worth it in my opinion.

684
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:10,840
Now I'm just sitting there thinking about like yarn stores.

685
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:16,400
Why haven't you gotten on like a sampler box of needles, like of all of the brands that

686
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:21,520
you offer, like such a good idea, like offer like, I mean, I imagine it wouldn't be cheap,

687
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:23,000
but like, no, yeah.

688
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:28,800
Well, they all have like those little singles, just one signal of each in like a size eight

689
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,360
just to be or six or something.

690
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:32,360
And just, yeah.

691
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:33,360
And let, yeah.

692
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:38,560
I just thinking about that because it is, it's, it's so funny how like back when I first

693
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,840
started knitting, I bought like all my needles were wood.

694
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:44,960
I can't stand knitting with wooden needles now, but at the time that was what I thought,

695
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:48,920
you know, I would like, you really don't know what you're going to like until you start

696
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:50,160
knitting with it.

697
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,920
So or crocheting or whatever the heck you're doing.

698
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:54,840
I swear by the squares.

699
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:55,840
I know you love this.

700
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:57,240
I can't stand the squares.

701
00:34:57,240 --> 00:34:59,840
I had one, the Cubics, right?

702
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:00,840
They're called Cubics.

703
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:02,120
I think they're knitters pride.

704
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:06,480
I bought one set because I was desperate and that was what the store had in the size and

705
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,140
the length of the cable I needed.

706
00:35:09,140 --> 00:35:10,360
And I only was able to knit.

707
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,720
Like I think I only had to knit like 10 rows on it before I split for the sleeves.

708
00:35:13,720 --> 00:35:14,880
And I was like, God, this is awful.

709
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:15,880
I hate this so much.

710
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:17,480
I think I gave it to you.

711
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:21,160
Actually, I think I did because I was like, I will never use it.

712
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:24,000
And I didn't like my hands like recoiled at it.

713
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,360
But that's, but you love it.

714
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:27,760
I mean, that's the thing.

715
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:31,680
It's like you got the preferences.

716
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:32,960
I like Cubics for certain.

717
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:37,320
Again, I'm like project specific, but like I like Cubics for certain type of things too.

718
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,160
Not for super bulky.

719
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:40,440
It's personal.

720
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:46,920
It's almost like like asking people what glasses brand they wear or sneakers or something like

721
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:47,920
that.

722
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:53,000
Like I would say that my most versatile set that I can use for like the most amount of

723
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:58,600
projects and it doesn't drive me nuts is my Chiagoos.

724
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:04,320
There's a couple of reasons why I like them as a set is because their range is a lot bigger.

725
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,680
So like my Chiagoos set starts at two.

726
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:08,020
Oh yeah.

727
00:36:08,020 --> 00:36:09,280
And it goes up to 15.

728
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:12,040
Oh, that, that is a big range.

729
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:13,320
Usually you don't get a range.

730
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,120
No, it's usually four to 11.

731
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:16,120
Yeah.

732
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:19,880
Or like one to five or something like that if they're doing the lower sizes.

733
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:21,360
Yeah, no, it's, I don't know.

734
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:25,440
I'm sure if I'm sure someone's going to tell me that that's like called the full set or

735
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:31,600
something, but there is a set from Chiago that lets you do that wide range.

736
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:37,360
And the reason why I like it a lot is because the case that it comes in is extremely compact.

737
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:39,080
So it's, and it's not bulky.

738
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:44,340
So if say you were traveling and you don't know what size needles you're going to need

739
00:36:44,340 --> 00:36:48,560
for specific things and you want to work on multiple projects, that's probably the most

740
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:53,920
versatile set that you can take with you and you'll have the most needle sizes that you

741
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,120
would use.

742
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:59,040
And then in terms of like, I do like wood needles for certain things.

743
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:05,880
I've talked about this before, but nitpicks, I like nitpick needles and they have a cubic

744
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,520
set and I really like their cubic set.

745
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:11,160
They also have just like a regular like rounded set.

746
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:16,520
I like, but if I do the rounded set, I like the short tips, especially, I don't know why

747
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:20,280
it just, even if I'm working on a project that doesn't call for it, like I have enough

748
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:23,400
room to use a regular size needle, I'll use the short tips.

749
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:25,920
But yeah, it is very, very, very specific.

750
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,160
I can't see you in the short tips.

751
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:29,160
See I know that's what I mean.

752
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:30,160
Like it's so specific.

753
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:31,160
It's all personal.

754
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:32,160
Yeah.

755
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:33,160
Yeah.

756
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:34,160
And you're not going to know unless you try.

757
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:38,200
So even if you have some friends that have different sets, cause they have different

758
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:43,720
preferences, like ask your friends to like, Hey, can I try like with your Knitter's Pride

759
00:37:43,720 --> 00:37:48,440
and then with your Chiagoo's and with your, and also shout out to Addie Turbos.

760
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:49,440
Nobody's talked about Addie Turbos.

761
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:53,720
Addie's Turbos, I'm using them right now on, I like them for super bulky.

762
00:37:53,720 --> 00:37:54,880
They're much more blunt.

763
00:37:54,880 --> 00:38:00,400
So they don't like destroy these single ply bulky things.

764
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:05,760
Um, think, think of like a Malabriga Rasta, like you're, you don't want sharp needles

765
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:06,760
for that.

766
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:07,760
It's going to destroy it.

767
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:13,680
Um, so, but yeah, Addie Turbos are great for, I, I ended up getting like one of each

768
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:22,680
of the fixed cord, um, in, uh, the 16 inch length because I do so many hats.

769
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,560
Um, and I like to do the hats with the Addie Turbos.

770
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:33,040
So, um, I, but again, like project specific hats, Addie Turbos, you know, everything else

771
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:34,040
is like different.

772
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:40,040
Um, but yeah, so I hope that answers your needle question in some kind of capacity for

773
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:45,640
all those who asked us about needle sequins, but long story short, go ask your friends,

774
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:49,840
try something out, ask the yarn store to like try stuff out.

775
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:54,440
Um, let's see.

776
00:38:54,440 --> 00:39:00,360
Um, there was someone who asked, who wanted us, wanted to ask us about our craft focus

777
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,840
or intentions for the year.

778
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:08,120
I, that might be something that we want to talk about at a longer length or if you guys

779
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:10,840
want to chat about it now, we can.

780
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:17,920
Um, I think this year I'm just taking things as they come.

781
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:22,440
Um, obviously I have picked up crochet.

782
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:29,600
I'm enjoying it, but I'm not setting goals for myself because I fail miserably every

783
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:31,840
time I set a goal for myself.

784
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:32,840
So,

785
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:40,000
Um, my intention is just to enjoy, so kind of in a similar boat, you know, no hard deadlines,

786
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:41,000
no hard, nothing.

787
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,240
I'm just gonna, I want to make a hat today.

788
00:39:43,240 --> 00:39:46,280
I'm going to make a hat today.

789
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:49,040
I don't, I don't set the project goal on Ravelry anymore.

790
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:50,040
It's too stressful.

791
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:53,080
I don't want to.

792
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:56,560
I forget to update my Ravelry if I were honest.

793
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:57,560
Yeah.

794
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:02,320
And I only update my Ravelry anymore if I finish something.

795
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:08,080
That way I can just put it all in once and mark it as 100%.

796
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:14,280
And then, um, little shot of dopamine because I finished something.

797
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:15,280
That's fair.

798
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:17,480
Makes that portfolio look a little bit more up to date.

799
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:19,080
Yeah, I get it.

800
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:24,560
I'm trying really hard to be very, um, intentional this year.

801
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:30,440
Um, one of the things I really struggle with every year is like lots of staritis, um, casting

802
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:36,840
on a bunch of projects because I'm not satisfied with how things are going out or I get distracted

803
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:42,480
or, um, honestly in later years it's been like, oh, I dyed it new color and now I want

804
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:48,480
to knit with that color and throw everything else aside and, um, focus on that instead.

805
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:53,120
Um, and that results in a lot of projects getting started and a minimum of projects

806
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,000
getting finished.

807
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:56,960
And I find that very frustrating.

808
00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:02,120
So, um, a lot of what I've been trying to do this year will kind of like the conversation

809
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:09,040
I had with Mary a few weeks ago, um, is if I really, really want to knit something and

810
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:14,800
I'm really excited about knitting it, putting it off until I am absolutely positive that

811
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:20,120
I am ready to knit it, um, instead of just casting on the minute that I think of it,

812
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:23,200
the minute something crosses my mind.

813
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:29,360
I've also been trying really hard to knit from stash this year instead of, you know,

814
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:33,600
what I did last year and the year before, which was like, Hey Jess, can you dye me up

815
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:37,120
a whole batch of this because I want to knit with that now.

816
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:40,400
Um, I do have that shawl project that I want to do.

817
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:42,880
I have the yarn that needs to be dyed for it.

818
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:47,480
Um, but I'm again, I'm putting it off until I'm ready to do it.

819
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:53,440
Um, and honestly, like I started embroidering over the Christmas holiday.

820
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:54,520
I am enjoying that.

821
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:58,680
I'm trying not to put too much pressure on myself to do it.

822
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:02,880
Um, because I found in the last few years, I do put a lot of pressure on myself with

823
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:09,240
knitting, you know, to knit to a deadline or, um, you know, you've, you've, you've cast

824
00:42:09,240 --> 00:42:10,240
this on now.

825
00:42:10,240 --> 00:42:11,240
You have to get it done.

826
00:42:11,240 --> 00:42:15,520
The nice thing about the embroidery is that, um, unlike a knitting pattern, every time

827
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:18,280
I pick it up, I don't have to go back and like, look, where was I?

828
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:19,520
What row was I on?

829
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:23,720
Like it's pretty easy to tell what I was working on or what needs to be done.

830
00:42:23,720 --> 00:42:28,120
Um, so I find it a lot easier to pick it up whenever I feel like it.

831
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:32,120
And I haven't been putting the pressure on myself to like finish projects and they're

832
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:33,320
actually getting done.

833
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:36,800
I finished, um, one whole embroidery sampler.

834
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:41,160
I'm about three quarters away done with the second one.

835
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:43,640
And I've just been kind of doing that as I feel like it.

836
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:48,520
And it's actually been really helpful for like the pressure is just, you know, I pick

837
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:50,440
it up when I feel like it, if I want to.

838
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:52,800
And it's nice.

839
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:53,800
And I'm trying that too.

840
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:57,320
Like if, if this is done in time for Ryan Beck, that's cool.

841
00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:58,880
But if it's not, that's okay.

842
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:00,480
I didn't have a sweater last year either.

843
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:01,480
I wore a shawl.

844
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:02,480
Yeah.

845
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:03,480
Thank you.

846
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:09,720
If all the turtles away, I thought you were going to say, what if I wear the turtles?

847
00:43:09,720 --> 00:43:11,120
Oh my God.

848
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:12,120
Turn them into a scarf.

849
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:13,120
Oh my God.

850
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:14,120
Really big turtles guys.

851
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:15,120
Turtle sweater.

852
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:16,120
I'm not doing a turtle.

853
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:17,120
But you don't have to make it permanent.

854
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:23,960
Like she's saying with the scarf, you could literally just like pin them together.

855
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:24,960
I will literally die.

856
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:25,960
No, here's what you do.

857
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:26,960
Here's what you do.

858
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:27,960
Okay.

859
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:31,480
You get one long string and you thread the turtles on them.

860
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:35,360
And as people show up, you pull them off and hand them away.

861
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:37,360
It's a shrink.

862
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:41,680
We could put like T Y tags on them with names.

863
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:43,520
You get Bernie.

864
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:44,760
I should name them.

865
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:45,760
You should name them.

866
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:47,280
No, but then you'll want to keep them.

867
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:48,280
Yeah.

868
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:49,280
That's the tough part.

869
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:50,280
Oh no.

870
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:54,200
I will enjoy giving away turtles with these weird ass names.

871
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:56,320
I'm not even going to preview what's in my head.

872
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:57,320
Sweet.

873
00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:58,320
I can't wait.

874
00:43:58,320 --> 00:43:59,320
I'm pea soup.

875
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:00,320
It's going to be great.

876
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:02,840
It's going to be so funny.

877
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:05,160
Tony the tiger, man.

878
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:06,280
Who knows?

879
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:08,120
Who knows how many turtles I'm going to make?

880
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:13,000
And I also really hope that I do not lose the turtle spark because that will be very

881
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:14,000
disappointing.

882
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:15,000
So here's the thing though.

883
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:20,200
Now you can't really make enough turtles because there will be plenty of turtles to give.

884
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:21,200
Yeah.

885
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:23,640
So now you don't have to feel guilty about making tons of turtles.

886
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:24,640
I won't.

887
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:27,600
I mean, I wasn't going to feel guilty.

888
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:31,960
I mean, I hear you on the Reinbeck feeling though.

889
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:33,440
I did that last year.

890
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:35,680
If I finish, if I finish it, I finish it.

891
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:36,680
I finished it.

892
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:37,680
I finished.

893
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:40,480
So this is the end when I was like, like a week out from Reinbeck.

894
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:43,760
I'm like, okay, I literally have two rows left on the shawl.

895
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:49,200
If I don't finish the shawl in time, I'm going to be really ticked with myself, but I'm also

896
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:53,120
not going to like, I'm not going to stress myself out.

897
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:54,960
Like this is a hobby.

898
00:44:54,960 --> 00:45:00,240
I had my years of saying like, my goal is to finish this many projects or my goal is

899
00:45:00,240 --> 00:45:02,080
to learn this many skills.

900
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:04,720
And I'm not going to lie.

901
00:45:04,720 --> 00:45:07,240
My mind is in so many directions right now.

902
00:45:07,240 --> 00:45:14,000
I don't have the, I don't have the space to be chastising myself because I didn't knit

903
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:15,000
two rows today.

904
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:16,000
Yeah.

905
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:18,680
I'm just not there right now and I really don't want to be there again.

906
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:21,320
So that's where I'll be.

907
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:25,280
Jess, I mean, if I finish this sweater, that'd be awesome.

908
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:27,080
I think you're going to finish that sweater.

909
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:29,240
But look at my smug cat.

910
00:45:29,240 --> 00:45:32,200
And that's why I think you're going to finish it because you love the cats and you want

911
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:33,200
to wear it.

912
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:36,680
I don't know what I thought you were making, but it wasn't a kind of curious what you did

913
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:37,680
think she was making.

914
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:38,680
I don't know.

915
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:42,560
Like maybe it was a cow or something or I'm enjoying the ghost cats on the back.

916
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:49,040
Well, she made, she made the sweater of swords a couple of years ago and she vastly underestimated

917
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:50,840
the amount of weight she was going to lose.

918
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:52,360
And she's tried to wear that sweater since.

919
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:57,640
And it's basically like, it's yeah, I mean, it's off the shoulder.

920
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:00,520
I heard that's in this year.

921
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:04,920
So she doesn't technically have a knitted sweater that fits her that she's made.

922
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:07,760
So all the other sweaters you made were like little kid sweaters.

923
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:11,600
I don't know why I didn't realize that that was a sweater.

924
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:13,200
Because Jess doesn't knit sweaters very often.

925
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:14,200
I usually don't.

926
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:18,360
Like she did the sweater of swords and she knit a couple little ones for Mariel and,

927
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:19,360
but I saw the cat.

928
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:20,360
It's great.

929
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:21,360
Yeah, it's great.

930
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:22,360
I love it.

931
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:25,000
I just, nobody thinks of Jess and sweater.

932
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:26,000
It's a cowl.

933
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:27,000
I mean, it could have been a cowl.

934
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:28,000
It's fair.

935
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:29,000
It would have been a really big cowl.

936
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:31,160
Especially last time we got together, it did.

937
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:33,040
It was like in the shape of.

938
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:34,040
Right.

939
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:35,040
Yeah.

940
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:37,960
It's, it's a, I've gone through a couple of inquiries for us since then.

941
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:39,360
So I see that now.

942
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:41,560
It's just got little Francis's on her sweater.

943
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:44,960
Francis's little Francis's little ties.

944
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:45,960
Little Tristan's.

945
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:47,440
Look, I have orange cats.

946
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:48,440
Okay.

947
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:51,520
Guys, I am astounded at my inability to pay attention to anything.

948
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:53,800
That's all good.

949
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:59,120
Well, on a completely different note, someone's still waiting on the mashup of every time

950
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:01,600
the cast declared jeans.

951
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:02,600
I mean, that's on you.

952
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:05,800
It is on me.

953
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:08,680
And I just want to let this person know.

954
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:10,920
I totally forgot about that.

955
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:11,920
I really did.

956
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:15,760
I forgot about it until I was actually listening to that, that episode the other day when,

957
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:17,280
um, cause I was taking a walk.

958
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:22,400
I was listening to that episode when, when the cats ate the shawl and we talked about

959
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:24,880
the jeans, jeans, jeans, jeans, jeans, jeans.

960
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:26,120
All right.

961
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:30,040
So I'll put that on my to-do list to go through all those episodes.

962
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:34,680
The jeans, man, that's going to, I hope you guys enjoy that one.

963
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:36,720
I feel like that's going to, that's going to take a lot of editing.

964
00:47:36,720 --> 00:47:39,120
Um, that's going to be a holiday special.

965
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:40,120
You know what?

966
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:41,120
That might be the holiday special.

967
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:42,120
The whole thing.

968
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:44,840
And now the sound of Dreya saying jeans.

969
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:46,320
No, everybody, everybody.

970
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:51,200
I bet you could do it into a Christmas like song.

971
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:53,240
Oh, like jingle bells or something.

972
00:47:53,240 --> 00:47:57,600
Jeans, jeans, jeans, jeans, jeans, jeans, jeans, jeans.

973
00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:03,080
Um, thanks for that laugh because that made me giggle because I totally forgot about that.

974
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:05,120
Um, let's see.

975
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:12,360
Uh, someone mentioned that they really enjoy, um, the would you rather and also the would

976
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:18,480
you rather episodes, um, which we got to enjoy our first episode back with Dreya doing kind

977
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:21,200
of a this or that, which was a similar kind of feel.

978
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:25,680
Um, and then, um, the other one was pattern and design ethics.

979
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:29,320
They really liked us when we talked about that.

980
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:37,240
Um, I don't know how we would extend that further, but, um, we could definitely, I don't

981
00:48:37,240 --> 00:48:38,240
know.

982
00:48:38,240 --> 00:48:41,680
You guys tell us if there's like a different type, she wants to talk about ethics.

983
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:44,480
I guess we could talk more about that if you want.

984
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:49,960
I feel like, I feel like it might be, uh, us just going, ah, like just for 10 minutes

985
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:50,960
scream into the void.

986
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:51,960
That's it.

987
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:53,960
That's all we're going to do.

988
00:48:53,960 --> 00:49:00,440
Um, this one says, um, can we talk more about picking wools and yarns?

989
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:01,440
Yeah.

990
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:05,800
I mean, I think that's like back to personal preference again.

991
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:08,000
No, I don't think it's back to personal preference.

992
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:10,120
I think it's, it's what you're making.

993
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:15,120
Like, um, the certain yarns are going to be better for certain products and certain yarns

994
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:17,520
are going to be awful for certain projects.

995
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:26,000
So, um, I mean, I think the, the one like definite is if you are purchasing yarn and

996
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:33,960
if the feel of it, like the softness makes a difference, check out the micron count of

997
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:34,960
the yarn.

998
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:41,200
A micron is a, um, it's a unit of measurement equal to one millionth of a meter.

999
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:45,780
Um, the micron count of wool is the average diameter of the wool fibers.

1000
00:49:45,780 --> 00:49:53,400
So the lower the micron count, um, the finer and softer the wool is going to be.

1001
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:59,720
Um, so if you have a high micron count, that's going to be good for like your more durable

1002
00:49:59,720 --> 00:50:00,720
projects.

1003
00:50:00,720 --> 00:50:04,080
Um, but maybe not great for next to skin soft.

1004
00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:09,800
The caveat for a lower micron project is that that is going to have a higher tendency to

1005
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:11,400
pill.

1006
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:12,400
And fall apart.

1007
00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:15,080
And fall apart on repeated washings.

1008
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:20,040
So, um, you know, you have some people that are like, Oh, I always want like the lower

1009
00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:21,040
micron.

1010
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:23,560
I want everything like next to skin soft.

1011
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:27,600
Um, and, and that can be great, especially for things like accessories, something you're

1012
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:29,800
going to wear like right next to your skin.

1013
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:36,220
Um, but if you were buying the same kind of yarn for everything, you're going to be disappointed

1014
00:50:36,220 --> 00:50:41,880
at some point, depending on the construction of the garment that you are knitting with

1015
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:42,880
and how you use it.

1016
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:43,880
Right.

1017
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:46,600
So like, um, I have very large arms.

1018
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:53,920
If I use, if I create a garment for myself with extremely soft yarn, I will have holes

1019
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:58,080
in my armpits and under my triceps within two or three uses.

1020
00:50:58,080 --> 00:50:59,080
Cause it's just going to fall.

1021
00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:05,160
I have so much abrasion from the amount of flesh for lack of a better term that's going

1022
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:06,160
back and forth.

1023
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:10,880
So if you, you don't have that issue, then you're probably not going to encounter a similar

1024
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:11,960
kind of issue.

1025
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:14,640
But you, that's what to keep in mind.

1026
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:19,800
You have to really think about who's using it, how they're going to use it, if they're

1027
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:22,640
able to like the maintenance piece of it.

1028
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:26,520
And then that should all factor into what you end up making.

1029
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:31,560
So if I'm making a sweater for my kids, it is a hundred percent machine washable acrylic

1030
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:38,360
because I cannot, I just can't, I'm not, I don't mind if I do wool, but my kids won't

1031
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:40,240
wear it because it's too itchy.

1032
00:51:40,240 --> 00:51:47,760
So I, it has to be like some kind of soft blended acrylic that's machine washable because

1033
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:49,520
they're going to destroy it.

1034
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:55,200
And if I want it to last more than like a wash, I need, I need it because they're running

1035
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:56,200
around there.

1036
00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:59,480
And if they tear it, if they tear it up, I'm not going to die.

1037
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:01,000
Cause I'm going to be like, it's okay.

1038
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:02,000
It's all right.

1039
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:03,000
You know?

1040
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:06,560
Um, so really just the end, but then again, you make something for yourself.

1041
00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:08,120
You know, you're going to take care of it.

1042
00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:11,320
You know, you're going to like wash it, like do all the hand washing and make sure that

1043
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:13,480
it's cared for in a good way.

1044
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:18,640
So maybe then you can, yeah, use that softer yarn and something a little bit more delicate.

1045
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:23,920
So yeah, it's, it's unfortunately, it's not as cut and dry as like, this is always the

1046
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:25,060
yarn you should be using.

1047
00:52:25,060 --> 00:52:26,280
This is the preference you should have.

1048
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:27,840
I mean, you always go by preference.

1049
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:29,560
I mean, I mean you could, right?

1050
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:30,560
Exactly.

1051
00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:34,840
Like if you want to like, to be perfectly honest, I love Rios, I love my Albrego Rios.

1052
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:37,160
Um, you could make a sweater out of that.

1053
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:38,280
It's going to be super soft.

1054
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:40,720
It's going to be, you know, washable.

1055
00:52:40,720 --> 00:52:43,560
Um, Rios does also, it's very, very soft.

1056
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:45,580
It has a tendency to pill.

1057
00:52:45,580 --> 00:52:51,520
If you're okay with that, like do it, like don't, don't let somebody tell you not to

1058
00:52:51,520 --> 00:52:55,880
obviously, but be aware of what you're doing before you go into it.

1059
00:52:55,880 --> 00:53:01,400
Um, and what the caveats are for those things kind of like, you know, using a, um, a single

1060
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:03,160
ply to make socks.

1061
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:04,800
Oh, don't do that.

1062
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:05,800
Right.

1063
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:10,480
Um, some people might want to, but at the same time it's not going to wear as well or,

1064
00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:15,340
or using a sock yarn for tall socks that doesn't have nylon in it.

1065
00:53:15,340 --> 00:53:16,720
Those are going to fall off your calves.

1066
00:53:16,720 --> 00:53:20,400
Or using a sock yarn to make a three X top.

1067
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:24,800
Pour one out for the Silva Cammy.

1068
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:26,480
It never got finished.

1069
00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:35,560
It is, you can, you can, you can in theory, you can use any yarn you want, but, but be

1070
00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:43,840
aware that the inside thoughts take over, but be aware of, you know, what could happen?

1071
00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:45,760
You know, being aware of what the yarn will do.

1072
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:50,920
And again, there's where I'm going to say, make a swatch, make a swatch.

1073
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:52,560
I have gotten better at swatching.

1074
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:53,560
You have, yeah.

1075
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:56,840
And that one project where it really made a difference.

1076
00:53:56,840 --> 00:53:57,840
Yep.

1077
00:53:57,840 --> 00:54:00,280
Did make a, I'm very proud of myself.

1078
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:03,120
I think I hear some listeners asking me to boo boo boo.

1079
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:04,120
Okay.

1080
00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:05,120
I'm done.

1081
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:06,120
That's I'm done watching.

1082
00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:07,840
That's just for, just for all y'all that don't like swatching.

1083
00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:10,080
I mean, we've gone over this watching thing before.

1084
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:11,080
I like watching.

1085
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:13,380
Look, I hate swatching.

1086
00:54:13,380 --> 00:54:14,380
I will do it.

1087
00:54:14,380 --> 00:54:15,800
If I absolutely have to agree.

1088
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:18,760
Honestly, I don't swatch for everything.

1089
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:19,760
I really don't know.

1090
00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:20,760
I don't either.

1091
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:21,780
It's I'll be honest.

1092
00:54:21,780 --> 00:54:23,160
I didn't swatch for this hat.

1093
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:24,320
I'll tell you right now.

1094
00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:26,780
And sometimes I'm, I'm unpleasantly surprised.

1095
00:54:26,780 --> 00:54:28,040
And that's how that goes.

1096
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:31,800
But listen, I made my half swatch, which I steep.

1097
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:34,160
Did you try to put the hat on over the headphones?

1098
00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:36,480
I did. And you know why?

1099
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:37,320
I saw that.

1100
00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:40,120
Because I am like, I said I didn't swatch, right?

1101
00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:42,480
And I'm like 90% sure this is going to be too small,

1102
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:44,480
but that's okay. I'm just going to keep making it.

1103
00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:45,840
You haven't blocked it.

1104
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:46,680
Yeah. True.

1105
00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:48,340
Also, since you didn't swatch,

1106
00:54:48,340 --> 00:54:50,280
you have no idea what that yarn is going to do.

1107
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:51,120
Yeah, I know.

1108
00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:53,120
So the reason why I don't usually swatch

1109
00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:54,660
when it comes to a hat, because if it's too small,

1110
00:54:54,660 --> 00:54:55,500
I give it to my kids.

1111
00:54:55,500 --> 00:54:57,000
If it's too big, I can wear it.

1112
00:54:57,000 --> 00:54:58,220
And then if it's just the right size,

1113
00:54:58,220 --> 00:54:59,200
I can give it to Patrick.

1114
00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:00,040
There you go.

1115
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:01,520
Well, that's the thing also.

1116
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:03,860
Like if you know enough people in different sizes

1117
00:55:03,860 --> 00:55:05,880
and you don't care about giving stuff away.

1118
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:08,680
Oh, I made this for you intentionally.

1119
00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:10,320
Totally.

1120
00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:11,840
Do you know how many kid hats

1121
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:14,200
or have mistakes that I just went through?

1122
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:15,920
Dude, I make hats that fit me.

1123
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:17,840
And Mariel's like, oh, that's for me now.

1124
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:19,680
And it's way too big, but she takes it anyway.

1125
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:21,040
Like she has like half of my hats.

1126
00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:23,100
She does. At this point.

1127
00:55:23,100 --> 00:55:25,540
Actually, this kind of flows into this comment that says,

1128
00:55:25,540 --> 00:55:27,160
I think it'd be fun to,

1129
00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:30,360
would be fun to hear more about why you choose to knit

1130
00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:33,640
what you do and, and, or how you search for things to knit.

1131
00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:38,080
Maybe how to avoid being knit fluenced instead of influenced

1132
00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:39,240
in a bad way.

1133
00:55:39,240 --> 00:55:40,080
Oh Lord.

1134
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:43,560
Well, cause I, you were saying how like,

1135
00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:45,960
one of the comments you just made was about like how,

1136
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:48,160
you know, it's your prep, like your preference.

1137
00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:49,160
Right. What you want to do.

1138
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:50,000
Right.

1139
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:53,040
And I think even as we talked about the wools

1140
00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:55,880
and the needles and all of that, the wools, wow.

1141
00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:56,720
The wools.

1142
00:55:56,720 --> 00:56:00,080
I just said that the yarns and the needles and all of that,

1143
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:02,140
that it's such a gray area.

1144
00:56:02,140 --> 00:56:04,840
And that if a knit fluencer or other,

1145
00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:06,240
whatever you want to call it,

1146
00:56:06,240 --> 00:56:08,480
I think it's funny that you used it fluence.

1147
00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:11,120
If anyone's telling you to do this or that or the other,

1148
00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:13,920
and it's a very black and white response that,

1149
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:16,720
that is probably the bad way.

1150
00:56:16,720 --> 00:56:18,440
Yeah. I think, I think a lot of it is like,

1151
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:20,680
and I don't even have a problem with like people who follow

1152
00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:21,640
the trends or whatever.

1153
00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:23,960
Like I really don't,

1154
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:25,400
I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing.

1155
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:26,560
I think the only thing that would be,

1156
00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:30,940
would be bad per se quote unquote is spending your time

1157
00:56:30,940 --> 00:56:32,840
working on something you don't really want to do.

1158
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:34,160
Right. Right.

1159
00:56:34,160 --> 00:56:35,120
I don't understand that.

1160
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:35,960
This is a hobby.

1161
00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:37,080
Like we're doing it for fun.

1162
00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:39,080
If you enjoy the trends, then yeah.

1163
00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:40,000
Sure.

1164
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:42,280
Like if you're like, it's trending,

1165
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:44,760
the panatone colors, it's this like poop brown.

1166
00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:47,800
I guess I have to be, make everything in poop brown.

1167
00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:49,600
I don't know if you saw the panatone color this year,

1168
00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:51,520
but it's like brown. Yeah, it's like mocha something.

1169
00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:52,360
I think. Yeah.

1170
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:53,200
All right.

1171
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:54,320
Well, I guess everything has to be brown.

1172
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:55,880
That like, if you don't like brown, it's okay.

1173
00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:57,000
You can. Yeah.

1174
00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:57,840
I think.

1175
00:56:57,840 --> 00:56:58,840
You can make pink.

1176
00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:00,280
Pink can always be your color.

1177
00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:03,880
I think that's kind of like a everyday life sort of thing.

1178
00:57:03,880 --> 00:57:06,400
Like I feel like we're all getting older,

1179
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:08,160
maybe not, you know, the viewers at home,

1180
00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:11,840
but we're all getting to the point where it's, oh my God,

1181
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:16,840
I do not have time to do things that are in fashion.

1182
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:21,360
I don't have time to do things that don't bring me.

1183
00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:22,440
Well, that too.

1184
00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:26,520
It's, I don't, I guess this is not the venue from,

1185
00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:30,000
in my opinion, your mileage may vary.

1186
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:32,120
This is not the venue for,

1187
00:57:32,120 --> 00:57:34,840
I need to be doing what everybody else is doing.

1188
00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:36,920
And I don't know a lot of knitters or crafters

1189
00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:38,240
that are doing that.

1190
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:40,520
I mean, there's sure, there's the make-alongs

1191
00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:41,840
where everybody's making the same project,

1192
00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:43,920
but I don't consider that like.

1193
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:44,880
That's still a choice.

1194
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:45,720
Yeah, exactly.

1195
00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:47,080
Like you're choosing to partake in that.

1196
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:50,400
Nobody's forcing you to make the same sweater

1197
00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:53,400
or the same hat or whatever as anybody else.

1198
00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:54,980
Yeah, I don't know.

1199
00:57:54,980 --> 00:57:57,040
I guess like if I'm picking a project,

1200
00:57:57,040 --> 00:57:58,680
I usually start with the yarn.

1201
00:57:58,680 --> 00:58:00,240
I know some people start with the project,

1202
00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:01,800
but I generally start with the yarn.

1203
00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:04,440
And I look at the yarn and I'm like, what do you wanna be?

1204
00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:07,600
And then I look on Ravelry until I find the project

1205
00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:09,640
that I want it to be.

1206
00:58:09,640 --> 00:58:10,800
Yarn next to the computer screen.

1207
00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:11,640
Yeah, no, not that one.

1208
00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:12,680
No, I do, totally.

1209
00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:14,040
See, I'm the complete opposite.

1210
00:58:14,040 --> 00:58:14,880
Yeah, see.

1211
00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:16,760
I will go on Ravelry and I'll be like,

1212
00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:18,360
what looks fun today?

1213
00:58:18,360 --> 00:58:19,800
Yeah.

1214
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:22,720
And then if I find something that looks fun today,

1215
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:25,200
I will go into the stash and I will see

1216
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:27,560
if I have the yarn to make it.

1217
00:58:27,560 --> 00:58:28,400
Right.

1218
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:29,920
If I don't have the yarn to make it,

1219
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:31,520
I go, well, that's a bummer.

1220
00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:35,160
And then I find a new thing that says,

1221
00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:36,560
what do we wanna make today?

1222
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:41,160
And that's two different ways of approaching the same issue.

1223
00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:43,440
I feel like I do both depending on,

1224
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:45,200
like if I really wanna work with this yarn,

1225
00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:46,480
then I'm gonna find something with it.

1226
00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:49,840
I feel like it would be a lot better to choose

1227
00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:51,600
based on the yarn that you have.

1228
00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:52,760
I don't know.

1229
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:56,680
Because I spend a lot of time looking at patterns

1230
00:58:56,680 --> 00:58:58,880
that I do not have the correct yarn for.

1231
00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:00,480
Okay, to be fair though,

1232
00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:04,600
like dying yarn has made that totally different

1233
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:06,440
because at this point,

1234
00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:09,800
I've got a pretty big selection of what I could

1235
00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:11,760
possibly have for yarn.

1236
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:14,880
It usually turns into Jess,

1237
00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:16,640
dye me this please.

1238
00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:19,680
I don't always have it on me.

1239
00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:23,240
Your way is probably better in the respect of like

1240
00:59:23,240 --> 00:59:25,040
actually working with what's in your stash

1241
00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:26,440
instead of like,

1242
00:59:26,440 --> 00:59:28,880
I could have this in my stash.

1243
00:59:28,880 --> 00:59:30,720
Cause it's like I'm going to the store all the time.

1244
00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:33,360
When you have an inventory of fiber.

1245
00:59:34,920 --> 00:59:36,200
I don't have stuff that's hand dyed,

1246
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:38,400
but like when you have an inventory of fiber,

1247
00:59:39,640 --> 00:59:40,920
the same rules apply.

1248
00:59:40,920 --> 00:59:43,320
You don't mess with your own stash people, okay?

1249
00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:45,360
You don't do it.

1250
00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:46,280
You don't use your own.

1251
00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:48,920
No, that's for the store.

1252
00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:50,440
This is for you.

1253
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:52,840
If you have a pattern and you're gonna make something,

1254
00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:56,400
you gotta like do like, that's a separate thing.

1255
00:59:56,400 --> 01:00:00,240
I am very fortunate in that all of my stash is just for me.

1256
01:00:00,240 --> 01:00:01,080
Yes.

1257
01:00:01,080 --> 01:00:01,920
Yeah.

1258
01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:02,760
I mean, I'm not gonna lie.

1259
01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:05,120
We use our own yarn.

1260
01:00:05,120 --> 01:00:07,680
We dye our own yarn all the time.

1261
01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:09,560
I mean, either way you're spending money.

1262
01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:11,080
Correct.

1263
01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:13,280
And the yarn we buy is wholesale

1264
01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:14,280
and we're dying it ourselves.

1265
01:00:14,280 --> 01:00:17,760
So it's not like I'm going to the store

1266
01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:19,520
and buying new yarn every single time

1267
01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:21,200
that I make a new project.

1268
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:22,600
Sometimes I do it in advance.

1269
01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:23,920
Like we're making a color and I'm like,

1270
01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:25,320
I really want to make something with that.

1271
01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:26,880
Can we make like a few extra skeins

1272
01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:28,320
and I'll just use that later.

1273
01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:30,480
But I am, like as I said earlier,

1274
01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:34,600
making a conscious effort to not do that as much this year.

1275
01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:36,200
Trying not to do that.

1276
01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:38,200
Well then you guys gotta stop putting out color ways

1277
01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:39,480
that I like, that's all I gotta say.

1278
01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:42,560
Cause you put out that minty one and I was like, come on.

1279
01:00:42,560 --> 01:00:43,560
Come on.

1280
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:45,680
It's really nice.

1281
01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:46,560
Thank you.

1282
01:00:46,560 --> 01:00:49,040
I usually go in and I type in dragons.

1283
01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:52,280
And I see what pops up.

1284
01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:55,040
If I don't see anything I like,

1285
01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:57,920
sometimes then I'll change it to dragon scales.

1286
01:01:00,720 --> 01:01:02,880
And then if none of those look appealing,

1287
01:01:02,880 --> 01:01:06,720
I'll just do a whole search on complicated patterns.

1288
01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:10,840
And so oddly specific.

1289
01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:13,520
But you know what, looking at her projects,

1290
01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:14,360
it explains a lot.

1291
01:01:14,360 --> 01:01:15,200
Oh my God.

1292
01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:17,040
It explains so much.

1293
01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:19,280
If I see something in complicated patterns,

1294
01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:21,440
then I try and find that and make sure it's not AI

1295
01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:23,400
because that's becoming an issue right now.

1296
01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:24,480
That's driving me crazy.

1297
01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:25,960
That is becoming an issue.

1298
01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:26,800
Yes.

1299
01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:31,440
But yeah, but then I usually save it

1300
01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:35,720
and eventually I come back to it sometimes.

1301
01:01:35,720 --> 01:01:37,360
I hate going back over your saved patterns

1302
01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:40,240
and you're like, who was that person that saved that?

1303
01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:41,520
I am never gonna knit that.

1304
01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:44,240
I will go in, I'll be like, why?

1305
01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:47,320
I got rid of so many patterns in my Ravelry.

1306
01:01:47,320 --> 01:01:48,560
Who was this person?

1307
01:01:48,560 --> 01:01:49,920
This person was not me.

1308
01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:54,640
This person was like 2008, Dreya.

1309
01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:56,640
I'm not the same person I was

1310
01:01:56,640 --> 01:01:58,560
when I filled up this favorite slit.

1311
01:01:58,560 --> 01:02:01,120
Oh man, the amount of scarf patterns I had

1312
01:02:01,120 --> 01:02:02,440
from back in the day and I was like,

1313
01:02:02,440 --> 01:02:04,160
dude, I have never finished a scarf.

1314
01:02:04,160 --> 01:02:05,160
That is not true.

1315
01:02:05,160 --> 01:02:06,880
I finished my shield scarf.

1316
01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:09,360
But no, other than that,

1317
01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:12,040
I have never finished a legitimate scarf in my life

1318
01:02:12,040 --> 01:02:13,480
and I had like 20 saved.

1319
01:02:13,480 --> 01:02:15,920
I got rid of like three pages in my Ravelry.

1320
01:02:17,320 --> 01:02:19,640
Sorry guys, it wasn't you, it was me.

1321
01:02:19,640 --> 01:02:22,560
Like the scarves are still beautiful, but.

1322
01:02:22,560 --> 01:02:26,920
I created my Ravelry account in 2013

1323
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:31,920
and I still have patterns and like cute projects from 2013.

1324
01:02:34,320 --> 01:02:35,280
Yeah.

1325
01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:37,320
And I just don't feel like cleaning it up.

1326
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:39,360
I just don't feel like going back and going through it.

1327
01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:40,200
Cause you know what?

1328
01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:41,600
The second I do, I'm gonna be like,

1329
01:02:41,600 --> 01:02:45,280
wait, what was that thing I picked out literally 10 years ago?

1330
01:02:45,280 --> 01:02:47,320
I actually might want to do that now.

1331
01:02:47,320 --> 01:02:48,680
I went through my favorites the other day

1332
01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:49,800
and there were literally patterns

1333
01:02:49,800 --> 01:02:51,760
that had been taken off Ravelry

1334
01:02:51,760 --> 01:02:54,200
that like they were no longer available on Ravelry

1335
01:02:54,200 --> 01:02:56,120
and they're still hanging out in my favorites queue.

1336
01:02:56,120 --> 01:02:58,440
Like, yeah, it is.

1337
01:02:58,440 --> 01:02:59,440
But you're a different person.

1338
01:02:59,440 --> 01:03:02,560
Like you change or you go through a period

1339
01:03:02,560 --> 01:03:04,000
where you're like, I'm just throwing out there.

1340
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:07,120
Like I'm really enjoying knitting this thing with bobbles.

1341
01:03:07,120 --> 01:03:11,160
Let me add a whole bunch of bobble projects to my favorites.

1342
01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:12,840
And then you finish the project and you're like,

1343
01:03:12,840 --> 01:03:15,640
if I ever knit another bobble, I'm gonna kill something.

1344
01:03:15,640 --> 01:03:17,600
And then you, you know, three years later,

1345
01:03:17,600 --> 01:03:18,800
you go through the queue and you're like,

1346
01:03:18,800 --> 01:03:21,480
which jackass put all these bobble projects

1347
01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:23,160
on my favorites list?

1348
01:03:23,160 --> 01:03:25,040
Like maybe that's just me.

1349
01:03:25,040 --> 01:03:25,880
I don't know.

1350
01:03:27,240 --> 01:03:28,080
I have done that.

1351
01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:28,920
Yes.

1352
01:03:28,920 --> 01:03:30,960
Who hacked into my library owes me.

1353
01:03:30,960 --> 01:03:32,400
Since you go through a period

1354
01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:35,040
and you're like, I'm really loving this one thing.

1355
01:03:35,040 --> 01:03:37,320
And then years later, like the other, like few years ago,

1356
01:03:37,320 --> 01:03:40,040
I very cathartically took out all the sock patterns

1357
01:03:40,040 --> 01:03:40,880
that I had saved.

1358
01:03:40,880 --> 01:03:43,640
Cause I'm like, I do not enjoy knitting socks.

1359
01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:46,200
I'm not gonna knit socks anymore.

1360
01:03:46,200 --> 01:03:51,200
I found so many sock patterns that are perfectly fine.

1361
01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:54,160
The patterns are perfectly lovely,

1362
01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:59,160
but I had a very, very, very short-lived idea

1363
01:04:01,160 --> 01:04:05,160
that I was going to be a toe up knitter for socks.

1364
01:04:05,160 --> 01:04:06,320
Oh.

1365
01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:07,200
Didn't like that, huh?

1366
01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:08,200
And I didn't like it.

1367
01:04:08,200 --> 01:04:10,080
I did, I did a sock.

1368
01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:11,560
I never finished it.

1369
01:04:11,560 --> 01:04:13,920
Like I did learn how to do it.

1370
01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:14,960
It was not for me.

1371
01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:15,960
No, that's fair.

1372
01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:16,800
But man,

1373
01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:18,800
You were convinced.

1374
01:04:18,800 --> 01:04:20,760
The ambition was there.

1375
01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:24,400
And do you know how many of those patterns I went into

1376
01:04:24,400 --> 01:04:25,640
going, oh yeah, that looks good.

1377
01:04:25,640 --> 01:04:26,480
Let's do this.

1378
01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:28,640
And then you go in and it's like, oh, toe up.

1379
01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:29,640
Why?

1380
01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:31,560
Why is that there?

1381
01:04:31,560 --> 01:04:36,560
In 2017, I added like at least 50 shawls to my favorites.

1382
01:04:36,640 --> 01:04:37,480
Tina.

1383
01:04:37,480 --> 01:04:39,080
Cause you go through a phase where you're like,

1384
01:04:39,080 --> 01:04:40,200
this is what I want to knit.

1385
01:04:40,200 --> 01:04:42,160
And then like, but then I still look at them

1386
01:04:42,160 --> 01:04:44,920
and I'm like, I still kind of want to make that.

1387
01:04:44,920 --> 01:04:45,760
Not right now.

1388
01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:46,600
You know what?

1389
01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:47,440
You don't get rid of it until you're positive.

1390
01:04:47,440 --> 01:04:48,280
You're never gonna do it.

1391
01:04:48,280 --> 01:04:49,120
I know.

1392
01:04:49,120 --> 01:04:49,960
And I'm just like, no, I'm gonna keep it.

1393
01:04:49,960 --> 01:04:52,480
Sometimes there's ones that may still happen,

1394
01:04:52,480 --> 01:04:53,800
but it's like, you're still,

1395
01:04:53,800 --> 01:04:56,680
listen, I have a stained glass shawl in there

1396
01:04:56,680 --> 01:04:58,640
that I keep looking at because it looks awesome.

1397
01:04:58,640 --> 01:04:59,760
And at the same time, I'm like,

1398
01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:01,840
I don't know if I have the wherewithal for that.

1399
01:05:01,840 --> 01:05:05,920
There are paid patterns in my raffle reads

1400
01:05:05,920 --> 01:05:06,760
and I am not me.

1401
01:05:06,760 --> 01:05:08,480
Yeah, no, same.

1402
01:05:08,480 --> 01:05:10,600
Hey, listen, I went through a period a few years ago

1403
01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:13,400
when I was just adding tons of sweaters to my list.

1404
01:05:13,400 --> 01:05:16,000
And I'm at the point now where I'm like,

1405
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:19,520
I have no interest in knitting a bottom up sweater.

1406
01:05:19,520 --> 01:05:21,400
Oh, I did one.

1407
01:05:21,400 --> 01:05:22,840
Mariel's outlet sweater.

1408
01:05:22,840 --> 01:05:25,080
That's maybe the, if I ever were to make that again,

1409
01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:26,040
I would do it.

1410
01:05:26,040 --> 01:05:28,480
I do not enjoy bottom up sweaters.

1411
01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:29,760
I want top down.

1412
01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:30,600
I don't know.

1413
01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:31,720
It's just my preference.

1414
01:05:32,600 --> 01:05:33,800
But yeah, I still have them.

1415
01:05:33,800 --> 01:05:36,080
Well, a lot of stories short,

1416
01:05:36,080 --> 01:05:38,200
we, well, there's our rhyme and reasons.

1417
01:05:38,200 --> 01:05:40,040
And you can always use this.

1418
01:05:40,040 --> 01:05:40,880
They're all over the place.

1419
01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:41,920
You can always use Jess's.

1420
01:05:41,920 --> 01:05:46,920
Keywords to just go on a dragon journey.

1421
01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:49,520
A complex dragon journey.

1422
01:05:49,520 --> 01:05:50,640
Cause you have the complex pattern.

1423
01:05:50,640 --> 01:05:51,480
Yeah.

1424
01:05:52,400 --> 01:05:54,720
I feel like that should be the title of her autobiography.

1425
01:05:54,720 --> 01:05:56,160
A complex dragon journey.

1426
01:05:56,160 --> 01:05:57,000
A complex?

1427
01:05:57,000 --> 01:06:00,080
I feel like that would work.

1428
01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:00,920
Okay.

1429
01:06:00,920 --> 01:06:01,760
Wow, that's slick.

1430
01:06:01,760 --> 01:06:02,600
There we go.

1431
01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:03,440
I love it.

1432
01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:05,840
Jess, a complex dragon journey.

1433
01:06:05,840 --> 01:06:06,680
There you go.

1434
01:06:06,680 --> 01:06:07,520
You're welcome.

1435
01:06:07,520 --> 01:06:12,520
A word by a red dragon.

1436
01:06:13,800 --> 01:06:16,840

Me.

1439

No, not just you, us, all of us.

1440
01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:23,240
