I'm Drea. I'm Meg. I'm Tina. And I'm Jess. And
I'm Frank. And I'm Pat. And this is Pardon My
Stash. Welcome to Pardon My Stash, a podcast
about crafting within the fiber arts and how
awesome it is. I can't believe we did that in
one take. That's impressive. No, usually the
intro takes us like five. It's pretty bad. It's
pretty bad. I know. And we did it in one with
two extra people. I know. How many times did
we have to do it on Wednesday? That was funny.
It was bad. It was real bad. We had a case of
giggles. We're doing stuff today. When are we
not doing stuff? Trey is hosting. I'm hosting
today. It's crazy stuff. You guys are in for
a really special treat because as you have already
guessed, we have two special guest stars on this
podcast this week. sorry that was my cue surprise
it's frank and pat you asked you asked we delivered
congratulations here they are but before we get
into this week's fantastic episode we are going
to see what we are all working on jess uh so
i am still working on the catnip pullover by
um andrea rangel um i finished two rows congratulations
yeah um i've still got i don't know like 15 before
i'm at the end of the pattern and then i have
to do like other parts of this sweater we're
getting there we're getting there meg i'm still
surprise surprise i'm still working on winter
light by meg gadsby um with uh fiber optics cashmere
gradient in texas blue bonnets i think i did
like four rows yesterday but i wasn't counting
I know that's really exciting for me. I have
not been knitting very much, but I got a lot
done during gymnastics yesterday. So getting
it done. Still having fun. Pretty good stuff.
Tina? So I'm working on a cocoa bean that's a
Frankenstein. Sweet. I love everything about
that. So I found a brim to a hat that was completed.
So I did the one by one ribbing. And then I went,
okay, let me just like finish this hat. It's
not the right count, but it's the right count
for the repeats that the cocoa bean does. And
then I started doing one thing and then I realized
it's not the cocoa bean. So I looked up the pattern
and I went, oh, I probably should do this, but
I didn't feel like tinking back. So there's just
a giant mistake in it. And then I just kept going.
But no one will notice that. No. Cocoa bean hides
things really well. Yeah. That yarn is vibrant
enough that it's also going to hide a lot of
mistakes. There's this lovely like pearl that
I just kind of added in. You know what? I like
that, though. And then it starts doing the cuckoo
feet. What's that yarn? That's Malabrigo Rios
in, hold on. I thought it was a Rios. Liquid
Amber. It's good. It's good stuff. It's beautiful.
Nice colors. What you got, Dre? I am still working
on the Bananasaurus. I love that sentence. I
do, too. Everything about that sentence. I had
recast on and restarted the Bananasaurus because
it just wasn't coming out right. And now I am
done with the body. unfortunately i have to go
back and remake the peels because the peels were
enormous compared to well you said you went down
a hook size i went down it's weird how much that
changes a lot yeah it changed a lot like they
are enormous peels so i am redoing the peels
right now and then i can continue on and do the
finishing up and i'm very excited it's coming
out really nice it is the body is fully stuffed
it's It's pretty good. Is it still more swole
on one side than the other? It is still more
swole on one side than the other. I do too. He's
like us. He has a better side. He has some muscle
definition. Frank, what are you working on? In
the last two years, I'm getting back into my
gaming. So I bought a PS5, and right now I'm
currently working on God of War Ragnarok. Nice.
That's a good one. That is a good one. Oh, actually.
Oh! I love that sound effect. I think that's
so funny. Yeah, so I'm about 30 minutes into
the main storyline. Oh, cool. Yeah. The graphics
are really good in that game. I'm really enjoying
it. It blows my mind how cinematic games have
gone. oh they're really nice these days it's
like Jesus I'm like I'm watching a movie I'm
playing a movie yeah first of all but like just
the gameplay in and of itself it's so intricate
and just I don't know man it's just it's wild
Because I used to game all the time when I was
younger. And then I just got away from it. Yeah.
As we all do. So just now getting back into it.
Like, this is the first time I had a PlayStation
since PlayStation 2. Really? Oh, wow. That's
a big jump. That's a big jump. From two to five.
Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's crazy how far they've come,
too. And I waited. Well, I waited, like, years
even after that came out. Because I wasn't playing
much anymore. Oh, okay. When we moved, we set
up our own little game room. And you know what?
Got the itch back to get back into it. Yeah,
it's been fun. It's been real fun. Patrick? I'm
building a brand new school. Oh, wow. I love
that for you. Yeah, me too. So we are turning
lights on. Nice. A little scary sometimes, but
everything's going good. I had to step away for
last week. Went to a different school. to work
on, but I'm back. And let's see. The pattern
is by Tecton Architect. To preface this, Patrick
is an electrician. And he's the foreman on his
job. Nice. That's very cool. How far into completion
are you? Supposed to be done end of May. Nice.
Oh, wow. That's super close. Wow. That's real
cool. You know like how in theater there's like
Hell Week? Well, for like tradesmen, it's like
Hell Month. Oh. That last stretch. Yeah. The
whole month. I'd imagine. Nice. So we have a
very special episode for y 'all this week. As
I said, we do have Frank and Pat and they will
be here participating in Nailed It! Fiber Edition
for those who know nothing about the fiber arts.
We are going to kick off our Nailed It with Who
Knows Who Better. Oh, boy. In this game, we are
going to give you each some prompts to find out
if Patrick knows Tina better or if Frank knows
Drea better. Oh, Jesus. Should we preface how
long we've been in a relationship with each other
and stuff like that? Frank and I have been together
for six years. How long have we been together?
We have been married for almost 13. Okay. And
together for over 15. Okay. So yeah, we've been
together for over 15 years. Those are good numbers.
Solid numbers. I don't know. I feel like you
guys have the edge here. You'd be surprised.
You'd be really surprised. I know. It's a good
test, right? It's a good test. Okay. And Jess
and I have the answers. Yeah. Already. So we
know they can't change them on the spot here.
They are already in stone. I'll be honest. I
already forgot my answers. Congratulations. It'll
be a surprise for all of us. Okay. All right.
Question one. What is our favorite fiber to work
with? Oh, geez. Yarn. Nailed it. Wow. Five fiber.
I mean, technically speaking. He's not wrong.
He's not wrong. He's not incorrect. He's not
incorrect. That was beautiful. That's at least
half a point. What's the yarn made of? Wool.
Beautiful. Nice. He's also not wrong. I mean,
that's like a half point. Yeah. Give it a half
point. Oh, it's like, it's the really soft one,
right? Yeah. Okay. Sure is. Marino wool. What
animal is it from? What did he just say? He just
said Marino wool. Is that correct? I love that.
That is correct. Oh, good job, Pat. Yay, Pat.
The least specific work in my life. I know what
level of specificity we were going for here.
All right, Frank, last chance. Oh, geez. What's
it going to be? Oh, um. It's the, okay. Sheep
wool. No, alpaca wool. It is alpaca. There we
go. Nice. Look at that. Good job. All right.
I know my lady. Bonus question. Bonus question.
Why can't Tina work with alpaca? She is allergic.
Yay. That doesn't count. Dre is not. No, no,
she's not. But that'd be impressive. It was her
favorite. She's allergic to it. You are too,
right, man? Oh, yeah. Very. What tool in our
notions bag is a must -have? Like, which is most
important to us? Oh, I got it. Dreads, stitch
markers. Not quite. No? No. Good guess, though.
It's very good. It was a good guess. Nothing
like the actual answer, but that is a good point.
You were nowhere close. It's a good guess. Oh,
I forgot. That might have been correct. I didn't
want to be, like, funny and be like, the needles
right the needles like we're gonna say like not
the needles okay yeah take the project because
that was my guess the needles okay so i'm not
sure exactly what qualifies as a notion but something
that like helps me work on my project it's not
the project itself okay so we're talking stuff
like the scissors the tape measure yeah the stitch
markers all that stuff yep yes um What about
one of those chord -making things? Is that a
notion or no? Oh, that is a notion. That is a
notion. That is a notion. Aww. I didn't say that,
but that is a notion. All right. Shall we? What
about, hold on. No, you already guessed. No,
I was just listing notions. I didn't. Oh, okay.
So I know it's one of the three I named. Awesome.
No, it's not. Oh, perfect. Even better. What
is the hook that you use to finish stuff with?
There's a name for it. It's like a little crochet
needle, but you call it something else. To finish
stuff with? Yeah, like to wind in your ends or
whatever. That's not a crochet hook. What is
it? It's a darning needle. Yeah, that's it. That
is correct. You got there. I don't think that
counts because he did like a multiple choice.
Like, oh, she said no to that. All right. We'll
do a half point on that. He did suss it out.
So do we want to give Frank one more shot? Yeah.
I think Frank should get another shot. One more
chance. I'm like really trying to break it all
down in my head. That meme with the equations
running around the lady's head is what's happening
to Frank right now. Is it possibly? A row counter?
The row counter thing? Such a good guess. That
is a good guess. It's a crochet hook. Because
you can use it to pick up your stitches. You
know what? I can see why he's thrown off because
for your project right now, that is your main
tool. That is true. You're using that as your
main thing. Yeah, that is your needle. But Frank
did have two really, really good guesses. Yeah.
Those were actually very good guesses. We're
going to applaud Frank because that was a trick
question without realizing it. Without realizing
it was a trick question. That's all right. Okay.
How many projects do we currently have that we
are working on? That's what this number was.
Let me see it. Let me see it. What is it? Are
we going with prices right this year where I
can't go over? Or are you expecting me to guess
the actual number? Guess the actual number. Guess
the actual number. I feel like. I say within
one. So if you say six and it's seven or it's
five, you're good. Yeah, that's fair. I'm going
to say 11. Very close. Very close, though. Oh,
my gosh. This should be easy for you, Brinko.
Well, because you go like one at a time. So just
one. Yeah. She's staring at me like, don't you
mess this up. This was a very difficult question
for Pat. It's a really difficult question for
Pat. Because I did not know the answer until
I went and counted. I think you guys had an episode
where Jo was talking about being a yarn monogamist.
She is. She is. She is. I am. The answer for
Tina is 15. Oh, wow. We did count them. I did
go count them. You know, I didn't know what this
number was, but I think I was thinking, like,
Rose, you were on, or how many, like, Rose and
Tia Smith were at. That's what this is. Oh. Well,
see, when I saw one, I knew what it was going
to be. But yeah, wow. And you know what the sad
part is? I thought I pared down, and then I was
like, how is it this high? How many did you have
before you pared down? How many did you start
since? I have no idea. That's a tough question.
I don't think any of us could have answered that
one. No, I didn't. I couldn't answer it. All
right. I got it. Because you're paying attention.
Four. What type of project do we most enjoy working
on? Oh, I think for knitting. For knitting. Yeah,
we'll keep it. No crochet. Right now it would
be turtles. She's on a crochet hook, but not
turtles. It's not turtles. It would be turtles
if this was crochet. It would be turtles. I am
going to guess, I have like two things in my
head. But I'm going to guess shawl. That was
a good guess, but it is not right. So quantity
wise, I feel like you've made more hats. But
I think you enjoy making youth sweaters more.
Those were both very good guesses. They were
good guesses. I think Dre's answer sucks though.
It's not socks. It's been a while. It has been
a very long time since I've done socks. But for
knitting, most recently, it has been hats. Because
you can bang them out in an afternoon. It's fair.
Tina's was shawls. I'm not going to lie. I feel
like I don't even know me anymore. It's been
a while. I like making shawls, but 90 % of the
time I can't work on them because I don't have
enough time. But in terms of like what I get
the most enjoyment out of, like I love finishing
a shawl. I love it. It's like one of my favorite
things. But I usually work on hats because I
don't have time to do anything else. I have a
question. If we don't get it right the first
time, can we get like one more shot at it? Okay,
well, yeah, I think we could do two. We could
do two shots. We'll give you a second shot. That's
fair. Because, you know, it is a wide selection.
There's a lot of stuff. We'll do that going forward.
And Steve is super sad right now. That was a
tough question. Number five. What color palette
do we most enjoy working with? Like, what kinds
of colors? Like, if you said yellows or oranges
or something like that. Oh, I didn't pick a color.
Oh, never mind. Not like a specific color? So
Drea picked like a, like if you were to think
of a set of shades. Oh, okay. Like what kind
of shades does she usually work with? Oh, geez.
Pat, you go first. So I'm going to assume Tina
picked a single color. Sounds like Tina picked
a color. Or a color, type of color. A color family.
A color family, yes. I'm going to say teals.
That's pretty close. I would say, does that count?
Let me see. I would say that counts. That absolutely
counts. That counts. I put blues, but teal is
blues. Teal is part of the blue family. I was
saying like Seahawks greens. She likes that color.
But think about that. Think about that. Think
about that. Like what kind of color is a Seahawks
green? It's... Frank, your expressions. I feel
like my life is on the line here. Nothing is
hanging in the balance of this game. No, you
don't know. I feel like I can't go home if I
get it wrong. Let me tell you, there is no prize
for this game. Yeah, there is no prize. There's
no winner. Shoot. Oh, like, oh my gosh. Think
of it in that same vein, Seahawks green. It's
just green. It's bright. Bright colors. She needs
bright colors. Bright colors or jewel tones is
the answer. See, I got that right in the first
try. While she's doing charades next to you.
Those were charades. Don't tell the listeners
that. That was just exciting hands. That was
jazz hands. I wasn't sure if Frank knew what
palette meant. Trust me, neither did I. Palette,
like taste. Oh my God, I'm dead. That's a different
kind of palette. Oh my God. All right, we got
two more. You put the soda on? Yeah. Listen,
listen. Whenever I hear that, I automatically
think palette first and then I'm like, no, no.
Yeah, me too. Oh, God. All right. Two more to
go. Six. Which project are we most proud of?
Oh, I remember. It was a big deal when you made
your first sweater. So I feel like I'm just going
to say the sweater. That is correct. There we
go. It's the adventurous cardigan. Yeah. It's
the only sweater that I've made. It could be
one of two things. Okay. My guess is going to
be the hat you made for your dad. And if not
that, then it's the shawl you made for your grandma.
It is the shawl. It is a shawl, but it's not
the shawl I made for my grandmother. Oh, okay.
It's a shawl I made for my aunt. Oh, close. Wrong
family member. The Orchard House shawl. But you
know what? I think the hat for my dad is probably
like a half a point because, yeah, I do very
much treasure all the knitted stuff I made for
my dad. Number seven. Aww. I don't even know
if I could answer these with Jess, and we actually
both craft. I don't know if I would be listening
to these. Because I'm awful. No, I don't know
if I would. Hey, you could probably guess the
color one. Yeah, some of them I could. But yeah,
these are tough. What's the last one? They are
pretty tough. Number seven and our final question
is, what drink do we almost always have when
we are knitting? You should know this one. For
sure. It's like the only thing I drink. Seltzer.
Yeah. 100%. You're always having. Only thing
I drink. She always has water. Right. Water.
It's either water or like sometimes she has either
water or coffee. It's coffee. It's coffee. Okay.
Good job, guys. She's not drinking coffee at
night. No. So now all of you go to your partners
and ask them these questions. And when they fail,
you can be like, you don't know me as well as
they do on part of my staff. Good job, guys.
That was very good. I thought you guys did pretty
good. Yeah, that was pretty good. Who won? Oh,
yeah. Who won? These are hard questions. Frank
won round one. Okay. There's more? Yeah. But
wait. There's more. Wait, wait. Don't tell me.
Round two, we are playing Yarn Hieroglyphics.
I'm going to... Listen, Steve. I am going to
give you a knitting abbreviation. A knitting
abbreviation. Yes. Knitting. Not crochet. Knitting.
Okay. And you will tell me what the abbreviation
means. Our first one is a simple letter K. Knit.
Knit. That is correct. Good job. Good job. The
next one is a simple letter P. Pearl. Pearl.
That is correct. I feel like this is a team effort.
These are going to get progressively harder.
We're starting slow. I almost said punter. No,
incorrect. This is not football. S. T. Can I
see the ST? All right, thank you. I'd like to
see the hieroglyphic. Can I phone a friend? Stitch.
Stockinette. It is Stitch. Damn it. Got you,
Pat. We are getting a little competitive here.
Things are heating up. C, O. Cast on. That is
correct. Yeah, I was going to get that. B as
in boy. O. Not in order. B -O. Bind off. That
is correct. What in the world? Wow. I did not
know that one. I am so impressed right now. I
am too, honestly. Y -O. Not yo. Yarn over. I
almost said yarn off. Are you knitting in secret?
Are you knitting in secret? Pat is really on
fire right now. I did not prep him whatsoever.
Honestly, I think this is more like a lightning
round. This is nice. I listened to your show.
You know that, right? Oh. Sure. Listen, I listen,
but I don't retain much. This one might be tough.
This one might be tough. I just love that Trey
just looked at Frank like, mm -hmm. P .M. Oh,
that is a tough one. I'm not going to lie. I
forget what that means. That's a tough one. Which
is so silly. It's not project manager. It is
not. It is not afternoon. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope.
Is it practice marker? Oh, it's a good one. You're
actually really close. So close. Yeah, I have
no idea. Oh. It's not... pearl marker no no no
you were you were really right i think you should
get a half point yeah it's place marker it is
placement i don't deserve that point we'll do
how about a half point for both of them they
both got there eventually that's fair i was saying
they were they were each other they did i don't
know how to just it's okay just it knows each
other out because give him a point it's fine
he took it Stitch marker. S -M. Is that a stitch
marker? No. No. It's not. It is not stitch marker.
No. S -M. I'm trying to think of what it is.
What is it? Oh, my God. We're awful. We don't
even know. What is it? Wait. Hold on. Oh. I know
what it is. Yes. I know what it is now. It took
me a second. Give me a second. Listen. Listen.
Me and Joy are just looking at each other like,
do we actually know this? S. M. I know it's not
Spider -Man. It's Spider -Man, yes. It is not
Spider -Man. Ten points to Frank. It's like,
oh my God. It's, I want to say like something
marker. It's like safety marker, not safety marker.
It is like... You're close. Space marker. Not
space marker. They're just going to say S words
until it comes out. Pat? I already took my guess.
Oh, you took your guess? I guessed stitch marker.
That's right. Do you have a secondary guess?
Because Frank's had like three now. Yeah. It
took me a second. I can't believe I blanked on
that. No. No. I said safety, right? You did say
safety. You're still thinking football, Frank.
Not that, not space. Shoot. What do you do with
a marker? I think, yeah. What do you do with
it when you're working on your project? After
you place it, what do you do with it? Well, you
lose it. No. That is fair. I feel like you should
get a point for that because he's not wrong.
Damn. You. Slip it. Slip the marker. You just
move it. Slip it to the next needle. I was close
with space. Basically, it just means you don't
do anything to it. You just move it down the
knitting. Slip. Slip marker. But here's me looking
at Meg. I'm like, both of us looking at each
other like, what the hell is this? Wait, wait.
I was like, do I know it? Am I thinking the wrong
thing? Because I feel like. Okay, but I have
had patterns. I'm not going to lie. I have had
patterns. That did exactly what Pat said. And
they use SM for stitch marker, which is really
confusing and annoying. Yeah. So I don't like
that. No, I don't either. It's irritating. It
definitely isn't. Oh, we're getting into the
big guns now. All right. Let's go dry. They are
getting progressively harder. Don't forget. Jesus.
So we have this one, which is M1R or M1L. Make
one row slash make one. I don't know. I don't
know what the L is. You're close. You're close.
So close. Make one row, make one loop. Oh, that's
awesome. Oh, that's good. That's a good guess.
Yes. But it is not it. It is not it. Not make.
You have the first two are correct. The R and
the L is not correct. But you're overthinking.
You're overthinking, yeah. The letters. Yeah,
you are. Dang. Oh, man. How do I tell what side
is which? Make one right, make one left. That
is correct. You're welcome. Thank you. That is
correct. With an assist from Tina. Yeah, no problem.
Knit two together, purl two together. Wow. She
didn't even announce it yet. I couldn't even
see. This dude got a bird's eye view of everything.
It's all right. Drea has to say the abbreviation
before you can spit it out. I feel like I need
a buzzer. K2TOG or P2TOG. Knit two together.
You just said it. I still had to say it though.
She's got standing on principle here. The next
one is KFB or PFB. Knit front back, purl front
back. That is actually right. Thank you. Correct.
This game's getting real competitive. Frank,
your confidence. On that one. Unless they're
all the same after that. SSK or SSP. This is
a tricky one because I think it's like you're
not thinking what it is. Can I see it one more
time? You can see it. SSK. Or SSP? Stitch, slip,
knit, slip, stitch, purl. Can you say that one
more time? So close. So close. You're very close.
Stitch, knit, slip, stitch, purl? That's not
it? You're like right there. The middle word
is wrong. Yeah. Don't overthink it. You're overthinking
it. You're overthinking it. It's not stitch.
No. It's slip. Slip, slip, slip, knit. Slip,
slip, purl. There we go. That is correct. Good
job, Frank. Reading is fundamental. I feel like
I'm in class. I didn't bring my notebook. There
will be a test. This is the test. Or your pencil.
Jeez. P -S -S -O. I'll be honest. I don't know
that one off the top. I know what it is, but
I don't know what every single word is off the
top of my head. So when I see that, I never actually
think of it as all those words. I just think
of it as one word. Yes, exactly. Me too. Yeah,
I see that and think, do the thing. Yes, just
do the thing. D -T -T. Do the thing. Yeah, pretty
much. P -S -S -O. Pearl's slip stitch over. So
close. Very close. Very close. Purl, slip, slip,
over. No. Very close. Patrick was closer. One
more guess. Purl, slip, stitch, over. No. That's
what Pat said. That's what you said. Purl, slip,
stitch, on. Oh. No. No. You had... Purl, slip,
stitch, off. It's not pearl. It's not pearl.
Slip stitch over is correct. Cole slip stitch
over? So close. Oh, that is so close. Oh, that
is so close. It's not a word we've used yet.
Yes, I will tell you. It is a new word added
to the vocabulary. It's definitely slip stitch
over, but he used something else. Patch. Slip
stitch over. That is so close. This is ridiculous.
Pull? Did I say pull? You said pull. I think
Frank was closer. Pass? Did you? Yes, that is
correct. Pass. Yes. You got it. See, and I also
think pass second stitch over for whatever stupid
reason. But yeah, but it's the same motion. But
usually I just look at that and say pass over.
Yeah. Perfect. Nope, that's me too. I also say
pass over. That's all it is. Pass over is pretty
much correct. So who's in the lead with points
right now? Actually, you guys are tied. Oh my
God, Frank. What the look? Frank is actually
super competitive. I see that. This is how I
game. I was going to say, I don't think I've
ever seen this side before. I'm starting to see
a vein come out of Frank's head. Jesus. Oh my
gosh. You okay there, Matt? How you doing? Good.
I think he's contemplating salami. WIP. Work
in progress. That is correct. K -T -B -L. That's
a tough one. That's a good one, but it's a tough
one. I did take a second. K -T -B -L. Knit, tie,
bind, loop. No. I like that. No. You got something.
You got two of them right. You got two correct.
I'm not going to tell you which one. Oh, knit
two. Something left. Knit two. No, Frank. No,
Frank. No. Your first one was better. It was
better. Yes. I don't know if you guys have done
this one either. I don't think you've said that.
L is not left. I will tell you that. L is not
left. They've guessed it. Wrongly in other guesses.
That word has been said, but it's been guessed
wrongly. Knit two bind loop. No, I think I already
said that. You did. You did. Yes. Exactly that.
Got any guesses? Knit together back loop. You
are so close. That's a good one. You only have
one word wrong. Oh, shoot. I'm not telling you
which one. Knit together bind loop. No. You're
further apart now. Now you only have two left.
You're very close. Knit, tie, bind, loop. That
was what Frank said. I really like that one.
We can confirm that it's not knit, tie, bind,
loop. Okay. Knit together. You do have. I don't
know. Knit. It's a tough one. You have knit and
loop right. And you have said the correct B letter
as well, but. Yeah. You did. Not. Knit top bind
loop. It is not bind. Knit twice behind loop.
No. You're getting further away. You're getting
further away, but behind was kind of close. Back.
Back was the correct one. Knit together back
loop. Knit together back. The together is wrong.
Not together, but. Knit two back loop. Knit tie
back loop. No tie. It's not tie. It is not tie.
You guys are going to be so mad because it's
like such a common word. Think prepositions.
Yeah. Good job, teacher. I thought we agreed
it was back. We're not talking about back. We're
talking about the T. Think about a preposition
that begins with T. Top. Nope. Toward. Knit,
twist, back loop. I don't know what that is,
Drea, but that is a bad charade. Knit through,
back loop. There it is. Knit through, back loop.
Knit, twist. I thought it was knit the bat loop.
No, knit through the bat loop. Well, I learned
something today. I mean, if you think about it,
it's pretty much the same. Yeah, that's true.
It is. Okay. So how does that point system work
there? Who knows? To be fair, you're only supposed
to have two guesses. So I don't think anyone
should get the point. There is no point there.
That took way too much help. This brought in
Drea's charades again. So I feel like if Drea's
got the charades going on, you want to do that
one more time? I do. Stop. SL1. K -wise. K -wise.
Wise is the word. It's not an acronym. It's not
an acronym. So you need SL1K. SL1K. SL1K. And
it should be noted that the L is lowercase. Stitch
loop one knot. One knit. Slip loop. One knit.
Stitch. Stitch. Stitch loop. One knit. I will
be a little bit helpful here. If one of the letters
is lowercase, it's usually attached to the uppercase.
It's part of the first word. That's what I was
trying to imply. So SL is one word. We'll help
out there. We will give you that one. This is
hard. Slide one knot. Slide one knit. It's not
slide, but the motion is there. Patrick? It's
not slide, but the motion is there. It's close.
What a riddle. Similar motion. You have used
this word in other answers correctly. Slip? Yes.
One. Okay. Knitwise. Yay! Good job. Similarly,
you can also slip one purlwise. That's true.
Nice. You can also slip one unwisely. I like
the slip one purlwise because when you read it,
it just looks like slipwise. It does. If you're
slipping one unwisely, does that just mean it's
a drop stitch? Yes. We just made that up right
now. Side note, I really love the fact that none
of us are knitting in this episode. Not a single
one of us has touched a project. I am way too
invested. We are way too engrossed in this game.
I'm way too invested. Literally, every project
is set aside. Listen, I gotta pay attention.
My project is watching. This is an exciting episode.
We're having a good time. Okay, guys. Tell me
what tinking is. Tinking? It's when you go back
to the project and find where your error is and
correct it without frogging it. I believe. I
mean, that's pretty damn close. I think that's
fair. That's a fair answer. Yeah. I would give
that to him. Bonus question. Why is it called
tinking? Why do we use the term tink? Yeah, Pat,
you'll get the point for the tinking, the motion
of what it is. But why is it called tinking?
Why do we call it tink? Because you're tinkering
with your project. I love it. That's very cute.
It's not right, but it's cute. That was so sweet.
I feel like you told me once and it had something
to do with Tinkerbell. No. That is way wrong.
Did you say I told you that? I don't know. When
did I talk about Tinkerbell? Maybe I Googled
it. None of those things are true. What does
Tink mean? Tinkerbell is not involved. I feel
like it's called that because you're trying to
figure out what's the error. So in a way, you're
just trying to maneuver your project in a way
to just find the errors. I mean, this is great.
You guys are putting honestly so much simpler
than all of that. He's so confident. Yes. Confidence.
I love your confidence. It's great. Yes. Confidently
giving the wrong answer. It might help to look
at the word. Why is it called that? Why do we
say it is tinking? Instead of like... Okay, I'm
going to give it to you. I'll give it to you.
Oh, because it's sinking, but you're missing
a letter. Just like your project is missing a
stitch. Also, very confidently wrong. It's called
tinking because your yarn look is all tinked
when it comes out of the project. Oh, that's
what I said, right? That is incorrect. That's
not it. That's not it? No. No. It is tinking
because it is knit backwards. And that is what
you're doing. Well, I get to have a negative
point. You are unknitting. You are knitting backwards.
Oh, I didn't say that. But that's a good point.
It does. I honestly thought it was because the
yarn was tinked. Because it had all these bends
and stuff in it. Tink is knit backwards. Those
are kinks. I'm going to join the team with the
boys because apparently I don't know what I'm
talking about anymore. I like mine and Frank
explain each other. Which one? I mean, there
were so many good ones, really. I think we should
change the definition. That's so funny. So Pat
gets the point for that still, though, right?
Yeah, he did. He did know what it was. He did
know what the process was. Good job. Good job,
Pat. But tinking is just knit spelled backwards.
What is frogging? It's when you... Do you want
to answer, Frank? I jumped in there. You hit
the bell first. If somebody wants to tell the
joke. It's when you're ripping your project apart.
Like a frog, rip it, rip it, rip it. That's what
it's all about. Good job. 100%. What is yarn
chicken? Oh, I know what that is. Yarn chicken?
Yeah. Yarn chicken? Yeah. Give it a try, Frank.
Give it a try. I want to hear Frank's answer
first. Oh, my gosh. Yarn chicken is when, so
you're yarn, right? This could be good. I'm waiting
for it. Go on. Yarn chicken. Yarn chicken, isn't
that when your project kind of like over, like
becomes not like a part, but gets to be kind
of like rugged almost, like almost like the feathers
are coming out of it and stuff like that. I love
this explanation. And it looks like as soon as
you grab it, like pieces kind of like flutter
off of it, like it's like a chicken like flapping
its wings, something like that. No. But I loved
everything about that answer. That was flawless.
I feel like you're thinking of pilling. Oh, that's
so good though. Okay. So I actually got a point
for that. That was not the question. Pat's kicking
my butt right here. Pat, what's yarn chicken?
So from what I understand, it's when you are
trying to estimate how much yarn you have left
and how much project you have left and you're
banking that you have enough because you don't
have any more. So you're quote -unquote playing
yarn chicken. That is cool. I like Frank to answer.
Until Jess said pilling, I had literally no idea
where that was going. I'm like, I don't understand,
but the pilling makes sense. I'm just glad there
was no eggs involved. What is a swift used for?
A what? Making cakes. Ah! Swift. Not sift. But
he's not wrong. He's not wrong. He's not wrong.
He's not wrong. I said what I said. Cake, cake,
cake. Making cakes. You are not wrong, but that
was not the question. What is it? Like winding
yarn. You said, what is a swift used for? Yeah.
Right? Yeah. Like winding up yarn. Oh my God.
Making cakes. Cake. No, I thought the bake. I
was thinking cake. Oh, no, a yarn cake. Yeah.
Yes, I got that now. I did not understand his
answer. Wow. We're both on the same length, baby,
because I was thinking the same thing. Guys,
I've been baking a lot lately. This episode is
so unhinged. I love it. I love every minute of
this. Pat, that doesn't correct. No, actually,
that was very correct. That was actually very
correct. I am mixing my hobbies in my head. Making
cake? No. That's what I thought so too. Making
cakes. A literal cake. Yes. It holds the yarn
while you make the cake. I feel like we need
merch now that says making cakes on it. I loved
the delivery of that. It was flawless. Making
cakes. Why do we block? What is blocking for?
Oh, blocking is when you're done with your project,
right? And you want to make sure it's like a
shawl or something and you have to make sure
like you stretch it out. Not stretch it out,
but like lay it out so that it comes to form
and it dries out and all that stuff. It's been
a while since I had a right answer, I feel like.
But you've had some really good attempts. Oh,
yeah. Really good attempts. I love your attempts.
They're my favorite. Are you ready for the last
question of this round? Yes. What is a noop?
N -U -U -P. And there are multiple accepted answers.
I will take the correct answer and my answer.
And the pardon my stash official answer. Yeah,
pardon my stash answer. Which is different from
the real answer. I don't know exactly, but I
know it's something that no one wants to do.
You're not wrong. He's not wrong. Oh, is that
when you finish your project and you have to
close it out? No. No? What is a noob? I don't
know if I've ever even heard that. Have I heard
that before? We brought it up a long time ago.
Frank, I really hate to tell you this, but this
is a catchphrase that Dre has said multiple times.
It's on our merch. It is on our merch. People
know us for this. Oh, jeez. Frank, this is your
woman here. I know. Frank, I thought you knew
me. Oh, man. What is a noop? A noop? What does
noop sound like? Well, the shirt sounds, it says
like noop more like a nope. That is Drea's interpretation
of what a noop is. But what is an actual noop?
Is it similar to like a bobble where it's a really
difficult thing to make that some people like
and some people don't, but most people hate it
type of thing? That's not wrong. It is similar
to a bobble. It is very similar to a bobble.
And I'm going to give you an extra point for
that. Oh, come on, baby. Can you give a point
to Frank because he's cute? Absolutely. Frank
has all the cute points. Frank won the most cute
award. He did. Congratulations. Thank you. It's
basically like whose line, you know? There are
no wrong answers. The rules are made up and the
points don't matter. So for those playing at
home, I'm sure you guys know a noop is a purl
seven together. And you've done them, right,
Jess? Jess is the only one I think of the four
of us that has actually done a noop. I want to
say how you actually do it is you yarn over seven
times and then you curl it together when you
come around the back yeah that's a hard no it
looks cool in patterns it looks beautiful if
it's done right it's done right but if you don't
do it right it looks like a hot mess yes you
got to do it right all right at the end of this
round we have patrick accumulating 14 more points
and frank accumulating nine more points That's
not that far off. This is still a tight game.
It is a tight game. But man, Pat, you killed
those terms. You did a good job, Pat. Killed
it. Okay, we are in our final round of Nailed
It, where the points are double. The points are
double. Frank, this is your comeback. Double
points. Okay, so in this round, we are playing
The Price is Right. great i will show you an
item from this basket and you will guess the
retail price for this item to the nearest five
without going over you ready I'm very bad at
prices, right? You go first on this one. Listen,
me too, and I've totally bought it. I think it's
fair if you guys go back and forth of who goes
first, because, you know, that's, yeah. So one
will start, and I think Frank should get a handicap
here, so you're going to go first. I'll go first
this time? Yes, and then Frank will go first.
Okay. I don't know why you think that you're
going to be bad at this. We watch Prices Right
all the time. I think you'll do it, Frank. I
gotcha. And you're so much better than me at
it. Also, Price is Right usually doesn't have
yarn. That's fair. That's true. Yeah, it's not
like you're pulling out toothpaste. If this is
microwaves, then maybe we might know. And it's
a lot of reruns from years in the past. When
that stuff is way cheaper. That is true. You're
guessing stuff and they're like 20 bucks and
you're like, what? Listen, add inflation, Frank.
Our first item from this basket is Juniper Moon
Farm Cumulus Rainbow. Oh. I will let you see
it. You can touch it? You can touch it. You can
read the label. There is no price tag on this
yarn. We took all the price tags off. Feels expensive.
But what is expensive in yarn? It feels like
I can't afford this. My turn first? Yeah. I'm
going to say $18. Okay. Frank? I will say $17
.99. So if you thought it was less than $18,
you could have just said $1 and still won. Pat,
don't matter to me, man. Meg, how much is this
Juniper Moon Farm Cumulus Rainbow? Juniper Moon.
Farm Cumulus Rainbow is $23. That is two points
to Patrick. $17 .99. You went the wrong way.
If you said $18 .01, you would have won. I know,
I know. But I had no clue. I had no clue. The
next item in this basket is Groovy Hues Fibers,
Silky and Groovin'. Shawl length. I will read
the label for posterity. Okay. The base is silky
and grooving shawl length. The yardage is 600
yards. It is two -ply fingering. The fiber is
80 -20 superwash merino and silk. And if you
must know, the colorway is Frenchy. Oh. Okay.
You are allowed to touch it. You can't look at
the label. But you cannot look at the label.
I'm sorry. Missed one. Sorry. I'll look away
when I'm touching it. Okay. Silk, French. What
is it? 80 % wool and then 20 % silk. I'm going
to say that is probably, that might be like $21.
Okay. So aren't they out of business? No, they're
back in business. They were out of business.
I bought that when they were out of business.
But this is retail. So this is what she would
have paid for it when it was live. Not what people
would pay for it now. Yeah, this isn't yarn saver
prices, guys. Or scalper prices. So you guess
21? I guess 21. I'm going to say 23. Meg, how
much is this Groovy Hubes fiber? 49. Whoa. This
is like a double weight. This is silk and it's
a lot. The yardage is key. It's 600 yards. A
normal fingering weight is going to be around
425, 437. Guys, I just realized this is going
to expose me in a lot of ways to my husband.
You bought that a really long time ago. Wait
a second. When Pat's face when you said 49 was
like. Also, also, you bought a couple of these
for me. And I got them, or no, like you traded
them. See, yes. Got them in trade. And I got
them on sale. I wanted it a raffle. Like that
cumulus, that was mine. And I traded it to you
for trade. No, that shawl length is probably
at least 10 years old. I bought that a very long
time ago. This has been around a while. Yeah,
I bought that a very long time ago. What's the
street value for something like that? No, if
I put it up on Yarn Saver, it would probably
be at least a $30 item. Yeah. Wow. What about
down the block? Why? I don't think anyone down
the block is buying this. Are we going to shady
sell it on the corner? I got silk. There's boxes
of that stuff here and I'm just wondering if
there's a place. Your average person, Pat, is
going to give you five bucks for this. Yeah,
they don't know. They're not going to know. Yeah,
unless you're finding like a yarn fiber back
alley street store. Like maybe. A gang of fiber
artists. All right. Our next item from this basket
is a full set of KnitPix double -pointed knitting
needles in size 8. Oh! Nickel -plated. And these
are authentic needles? As opposed to what? Knock
-offs? Are you saying I have knock -off needles?
Knock -off KnitPix needles. That real silver?
It is nickel plated as I previously said. Oh
my god. Real nickel? Yes, genuine. 100 % genuine
nickel. Melted down. White gold needles. When
you inevitably lose one. That's the type of needles
I would never use if they were freaking gold.
There's a note on here. It says traveling the
world. To bring you affordable knitting. So I'm
going to keep that a mind limit. All right. So
you just gave that note to Frank, just so you
know. That's okay. All right. That's good. You
need to be like - Make your bets, gentlemen.
Patrick? $9 .99. Okay. I'm honestly thinking
this might be like $13 .49. Ooh. Okay. Meg, how
much are these Knit Picks double -pointed needles?
$10 .99. Oh. So who gets that? Who gets that?
Without going over. You went over. Sorry. Sorry,
Frank. I'm not good at these prices, Trey. That's
okay. She's like, you have no idea how much my
stash is worth. I know. The only one getting
exposed right now is me. I'm not enjoying this
game. Actually, no. I have to say, some of these
items I pulled from the Yarnstaver inventory,
so I did not pay those retail prices. And this
was a present. That was a present. That was a
present. This was a present from me. Yay. Next
out of this basket is Farmer's Daughter Fibers
Craggy Tweed DK. It is an 85 % merino wool, 15
% NEP. NEP. That's this little, that's the stuff
here, the tweed. It's the stuff that makes the
tweed. It is 231 yards and the color is mountain
man. Got good weight to it. It's not as squishy
as I thought, but. But it is soft. But it is
soft. Good detail. It actually is very soft considering
that it's a tweed. Yeah, it is. It goes really
well with the three brown ones I have, which
I eventually want to make, put together and make
a project. Made in Montana, huh? Montana. Wow.
Farmer's Daughter's Fibers. I am so sorry. No,
I'm not making fun of that word. We're from Connecticut.
We don't know better. Put it against your cheek
pad. It feels good. Just bash yourself in the
face with the yarn. Frank, how much would you
say that Farmer's Daughter yarn would go for?
Retail. I think $24. Okay. Patrick? Talking to
the mic. $25. Okay. Meg, how much is this Farmer's
Daughter Fibers? $30. That's nice, though. It's
very nice. It's a nice tweed. So far, Patrick
is smoking Frankie. I got nothing. The next item
from this basket. is a set of three full set
of Addi Flexi Tips in US 1. I just want to preface
this because I didn't even, I was surprised.
These are not priced the way you think they're
priced. Okay. So think abnormally. Think abnormal?
Because it's not. Think abnormal? Even when we,
when I, because that was a urine saver item and
when I found it, I was like, what are you, are
you kidding me? I just want to say that because
it is kind of a trick one. And it is for the
full set of three. Correct. Full set of three.
It's supposed to be for sock knitting. Patrick,
at what price point would you put these Addi
Flexi tips? $69 .99. Franklin. I'm sorry. I'm
going to guess. I'm going to guess $22. Meg,
how much are these Addy Flexi tips? $26 .50.
Frank. Nice job, Frank. Nice job. Good job, Frank.
It was close. You were very close. Can you believe
that's how much those are? So I was so surprised
when I saw the first retail. I was like, oh,
this must be like overpriced, some seller or
something. No, I went to Addy and they're selling
it for that too. I'm like, this is insane. I
almost said 24. I was like, no, that's, well,
maybe. You would have been closer. You would
have been okay. You would have been okay. For
that, wow. Right? That's wild. Don't buy them.
I like that one too, though. That one's, I have
made a whole sweater out of that. It's a good
color. It's a great color. Next from my basket
of fun, I have, I have Baroco Vintage Chunky,
a machine washable blend. It is 52 % acrylic,
40 % wool, and 8 % nylon. It is blue. yeah i
was gonna say the color is just a random number
it's a blue with a it's called blue moon actually
is the is the color and it's got an awesome like
red halo i love this colorway so much like i'm
obsessed with it it is really nice it is 136
yards and it is made in peru i don't know why
they don't put the name on it but i do know it's
called blue moon yeah when you look it up they
like yeah i don't know why they don't put it
on label though it's very weird some people pick
it by that guys i know it's got a cool name I
only remembered it because someone I followed
knit with it, and I was like, I need to get that
yarn. But then I didn't use it all, and I gave
it to Tina. Bulky. It feels nice. It does feel
nice. It feels very nice. It's like a cloud.
I'm going to say that is probably like $32. I'm
going to say, I'm guessing it's somewhere between
like $0 and $11. I'm just going to say $1. Meg.
How much is this Barroco Vintage Chunky Yarn?
Nine. Ah! Zero and eleven. I mean, that was pretty
spot on. I mean, I don't, now I'm like sitting
here, did you look at my yarn saver stuff? Because
that's like the range that it would be from like
different, not zero, but like. Yeah, but doesn't
acrylic mean it's like synthetic? Yeah, acrylic
is a synthetic yarn. Acrylic typically brings
the price down. So that's why I assumed it was
synthetic. This is killing me because I have
the exact same yarn and it looks 100 % different.
I know. Yeah. 100 % different. It's crazy. Next
from my basket of fun, I have fiber optic yarns,
heaven worsted. It is 70 % superwash merino wool,
20 % cashmere, 10 % silk. It is 205 yards. And
the colorway is peacocks. It is wild how different
my colorway is. I had two skeins of it. I already
used one and that one was less blue than that
one is. Yeah. Well, mine is like dark and almost
like purple. Yeah, the other one I had was more
purpley. It's wild. This is absolutely stunning.
It is a beautiful yarn. This is from a couple
of Rhinebecks ago. Yeah. Patrick. How much would
you pay for this? No, wrong question. How much
did you pay for that? Because that would be zero.
Patrick, how much did Tina pay for this? $34
.99. I honestly think that's like $38. Like $38,
something like that. $38. They are both over.
Yep. Both over. Sad trumbo. The correct answer
on Price is Right. They get to choose again.
They get to go again? Oh. I have not watched
Price is Right since I was a toddler. It's been
a while. All bids are over. Okay. So we get to
try again. The lowest guess was $34 .99. Okay.
So if you don't mind. It is less than $34 .99.
I'm going to say $28 .99. $29. How much is this
fiber optics yarn? 32. All right. We're getting
there. Is that the last one? I think that's the
last one. Frank, you didn't get that one. I didn't
get it? Am I not paying attention? He said 28.
He said 29. He did one above you. Excuse me.
I love how you were like, yes. I love how you
raised your fist and everything. Oh, not paying
attention, Pat. Two more to go. Two more rounds
or two more? No, no, no. Two more items. Two
items. That's it. I have in my box of fun. Open
Exito. It is 100 % acrylic. It is 220 meters.
How many furlongs is that? Okay. Yeah. No. The
colorway is 420. It is also a peacock blue. Okay,
I'm going to say, I'm trying to remember. So
like acrylic, what? It is 100 % acrylic. Okay,
so that's like that. Judging by what happened
last time, it brings the price value down. So
I'm going to say like $8. $8 for that little
thing. Patrick. I think it's under $8, so I'm
going to guess $1. $1. Meg, how much is this
Open Exito yarn from Portugal? $1 .30. Oh, you're
kidding me. Dang. I feel like that was almost
a little bit unfair. Is that euros or dollars?
Wow. That is translated from euro. Okay. Wow.
So it's $1. I paid a little less than a euro
for it. Nice. And you know what? Surprisingly,
It's pretty good. Like, it's surprisingly soft
acrylic yarn. This is why I'm telling y 'all.
Y 'all are sleeping. I'm going to Portugal. I
buy that at the Fadish. They have, like, these
street fairs, and that's what they sell on the
street. Like, it's not bad. No, it's very nice.
And that's why I bring an entire suitcase. Can
I see that for a second? Yeah, it's actually,
it's a little bit softer. I mean, granted, it's
a little bit, it's much thinner. But it's a little
bit softer than the Barroco Vintage Chunky. Like,
it's very nice acrylic yarn. Yeah. It is. It
is surprisingly nice considering how much you're
paying for it. Yeah. Last one. I think I'm behind.
I don't mind. Just a skosh. Our last and final
lot on Price is Right Yarn Edition. I have a
Madeline Tosh bunny treat bundle. Oh, geez. This
is. tosh merino light and the pack is called
carrot cake there are three skeins of yarn in
this pack it is all madeline tosh hand dyed yarn
it is all 100 superwash merino wool they are
all three one -of -a -kind skeins all three are
one -of -a -kind yes and it is a pack of three
price it at a pack of three there's like an amber
color a orangey red kind of color and then a
light blue color it literally looks like carrot
cake it does all look like carrot cake it's stunning
i feel that's very pricey 89 .99 franklin so
i was feeling almost yeah um i'm gonna say like
like 90 bucks like that that goes up that's up
there Tina, play my sad sound effect. Oh, no.
You are both over. Both over? Both over. That's
a good thing. Anywhere near that. I mean, a pack
of three. That's a good thing. A pack of three.
I didn't pay that. I will say this. It is a discounted
pack of three. So I didn't pay like the individual
price that would be assigned to each of those
three. It was like a discounted pack. A lot of
times when they come in a set like that. Yeah.
They're pricing it less than what three skeins
together would cost because it's a pack. Just
to help you guys out. Oh. It's called a bundle.
I did a coupon date. So then. So the lowest price
was. $89 .99. Yeah, it's not $89 .99. So then
I'm going to say $50. I'm going to say $51. Do
we have like a celebration sound effect? Yeah.
Oh, I have the cash register. Do you want me
to do the cash register? Do the cash register.
This was $50. Good job, Frank. Put it on the
board. I will give you double, double points.
Yeah, for getting on the money. Yeah, you'll
get four points, Frank. You'll get four points
for guessing the correct actual amount. Good
job. Nice. Here's a bonus thousand points. No.
Nice. Yay. Yeah, that was Jimmy Beans, right?
You got that? That was Jimmy Beans. And like
I said, they don't have those on the site anymore,
but they are going to be coming out with some
more soon. So at the end of three rounds of Nailed
It Knit Edition, we have Frank with an accumulated
total of 20 points. Yay! Yeah. Frank, you did
so good. It was my first try, too. It was your
first try. First try. First try. However, we
also have Patrick with his accumulated point
total of 32. Nice. I don't know. I hit buttons.
I liked it. And that brings Pat Gleason to winner
status. Congratulations, Pat. I have no prize
for you, but you can eat from this candy dish.
Pat, good game. Fair game. Good handshake. Fair
game. Good job. It was a lot of fun. I actually
thought my points were lower. I'm actually, it's
not that bad. I'm actually super impressed with
both of you. Like really impressed. Cause it
could have easily been zero. It could have been
totally a train wreck. Like these were not, these
were not hard, easy questions at all. And just
a reminder, these guys know nothing outside of
being with us. Neither of them are knitters.
Yeah, they are not knitters or crocheters or
any kind of fibery artist person. I am terrible
with prices. Terrible. It's all from osmosis.
That's a win for me. Yeah, no, you guys are great.
Right on the money. That's really good. That's
tough. That's really good. So I think most importantly,
did you guys have a good time? Oh, yeah. I loved
it. I loved it. Pat's eating snacks. I had a
good time. Like, I'd play this again. This would
be fun. Yeah? Yeah, I would. Well, if you want
to hear more of Pat and Frank being silly, let
us know. Because it can certainly be arranged.
We could do this again. We absolutely can. That
