Hey y’all! I really want to start spinning and I already hav a spindle to start with. Can you give me any clubs I can get some fiber from ravelry for a pretty good price? Thanks<3 y'all!
The reason centaurs need socks:
They of course have no feet, only hooves, so they have feet envy and secretly collect socks, and hand knit socks are the best and all collectors want to the best.
Great Show! Thanks 🙂
those socks could be called BiPolar or Switcheroo
It was so fun watching you open your presents! The cowls are GORGEOUS! Can’t wait to find out what Leslie’s pattern is called…….Name for Leslie’s socks? How about “Ambivalence”? It means ‘simultaneous conflicting feelings’……….they are beauiful…love the striping……
Squee! I’m so glad you liked your gifts! Thank YOU both so much for the awesome podcast every week. Have fun on your travels!
Two For The Price of One….sock name
Great episode, how about “reversible socks”
Thank you for the wonderful review of the Crafter’s Tool Butler gals! You were so thorough on hitting all of the features. I love that you’re such a long time fan of my bags and that you own the “original”.
Oooh! Such enablers you are! The patterns in Patty’s e-book are beautiful, and I’m loving the extended size range of the sweaters. I think Colorshift yarn may be my birthday present to myself. The timing would be about perfect. Thank you so much for your helpful and honest reviews of patterns and products. Have fun at Stacy’s!
Ya’ll are so wound up this week. Really enjoyed the podcast felt like hanging with friends. A couple of times I almost threw in my 2 cents worth. As for the socks maybe “In and Out”, “Roundabout”, althought I like “Ambivalance”.
Thank you guys so much for the wonderful things you had to say about my project bag! I think that any time I’m feeling mopy from now on, I’ll just play that segment over and over again.
I love watching every week. It always feels like a mini-Knit Night in my own home, and I can’t wait until the next episode!
mmm socks … socks … socks … name the socks … socks to the right, socks to the left, socks that i love the best
love all of the goodies you share
whew! ok I’m finally caught up on all 97 episodes! Thank you for your company and for being the real deal! Youre my kinda Knitgirls! Lala…. lovin’ the 1st clue; my cuffs are AWESOME!
How cool that the picture blog got turned into a book!!!
When she started that it made the rounds of the scrapbook boards because the photos were so awesome!
I always wondered how she was able to do all that and not wake the baby, lol!! 🙂
Leslie,
I think you should call the socks “Socks for centaurs.” LOL
Laura – you know that hat on my blog banner is the gradient Fiber Optics braid I bought when I was with you and Leslie in Kentucky. I saw that you have the exact same one – layered golden fuschia – or something like that. If you make that same hat I will be so happy to see one like it again since mine has vanished.
It’s so funny because I get asked about that hat and yarn all of the time from that banner.
I joined your mittens for me kal but haven’t started yet. I need to get the yarn and I need to finish some deadline knitting first. The first clue is wonderful.
Hope you are well! Hi Leslie, too!!!
You are cute, cute, funny girls!!!
I’m new to theknitgirllls and this week caught up on all the previous episodes. Now sadly, I must wait for each new episode! The cowls were great! Leslie, how about “outside-in socks” for your socks? Or “double-up socks”?
Love, love your podcasts and Laura you fingerless mitts are wondermus!!!
Loved the show as always! You both are just too adorable for words! Thanks so much for giving Knitting Brooklyn a mention . I feel like I got on Oprah’s ‘Favorite Things’ show that she use to do…. you guys are awesome :0)
Hi Leslie, How bout calling the socks “Have It Your Way Socks”? ( : Good luck naming them – what a neat pattern!!! Love the show! Stephanie
Hi ! I am so in love with your show, thank you both for sharing your lovely selves every week. I had to stop the podcast to check and see if this was taken, but how about the name Bi-Socks-Y’all ? I cracked myself up when I thought of it. Hope you get a knock out of it, and I cannot wait to try the pattern. Have a fun safe trip,
Jodi
I meant to say “I hope you get a KICK OUT OF IT” damn predictive text on my IPad!
You guys have been spoiled 😉 It is so nice to see all the sharing in our community! Nice episode again!
I am so glad you like my cards, I love making them!
Really enjoyed this podcast. I love all the things you are making. I work 2 jobs and you are my MY Time…Thanks for everything and enjoy watching you in the future.
Hi Knitgirlls! I’m dying to treat myself to some Signatures 🙂 I like to use 5 DPNs for my socks. Do they sell individuals? So I can purchase a set plus 1?
LaLa…. Lovin’ the Mittens for Me KAL! Thank you again; friends are VERY impressed with the Latvian Braid 🙂
Sock name Idea – Palindrome
A palindrome is a word that is spelled the same forward and backward. (Wow, Mom, level, radar)
Since your socks can be worn either knit or purl side…

You Girllls are great. I would like to know the name of the shawl Leslie is wearing, please.
It was fun watching you open your presents, too.
