Thank you so much for this video! I've been searching for a while for an afterthought pocket that tucks inside, but most of the other videos just sew theirs onto the outside of the cardigan. Super clear and helpful!

Thank you for the very clear instructions.

I have just discovered your video - ingenious idea and so clearly presented!! I have just mended a hole in a sock using your technique and it’s brilliant. I have a question about the original hole and all of the bits which remain inside under the patch. ….. do you leave the hole as is, or do you trim and neaten it up?? You have left yours so maybe that’s your answer to my question!!!!

❤❤❤

Wonderful podcast. The interview with Carmen was great.

Now that I’m “current” with your episodes (after spending a lovely 9 or so months viewing your back-catalogue!), it’s great to see you during the week you dropped this episode! I signed up right away for a late September class, but AAARRRGGGGHHH 😢 I’ll be away most of September so I can’t take Ann Budd’s skirt class! I do so hope you’ll be able to convince her to present the course next year. Tell her “Pretty please” from me (Kaila).

Great podcast and interview with Carmen - love all her rescued needlework!

Nice to see you back ! The Blackbird store seems wonderful !

That was an extremely enjoyable podcast. Some people are just so smart aren't they? Thank you for this podcast.

I'll have to be sure to tell my mother in law about the Blue Barn Quilt Co!

I love hearing that imperfections actually make things perfect. Once you learn that they really are no quilt or any fiber arts police you are set free, and you can do whatever pleases your heart. It’s an amazing experience to understand this. It gives peace to those of us who are forced to live with our imperfections. I will be 81 on September 11 and I have severe glaucoma. I had to give up quilting long ago, but I crochet and sometimes Knit, and I know I make mistakes. And that’s OK. It’s me, learning to be creative in different circumstances. Holding my beautiful hooks or Neil and ceiling the soft yarn run through my fingers is totally satisfying. It keeps me going. Thank you thank you for sharing all of this beauty with us. It has been a wonderful treat. Sandy from Cincinnati

Ladies, what a wonderful treat to see all those beautiful quilts, and see all that creativity. I quilted until my vision just made me dangerous with the rotary color, and then I turn to crochet and knitting. Can have enjoyed it all. Hand quilting was my very favorite thing. I used that tiny number 12 between needle, and love the feel of working with the fabric. And clothing gives you a feeling of being connected to history, and I always felt that connection. Thank you so so much for sharing this wonderful video in this wonderful place. It was all amazing.

Very helpful video just what I needed. Was getting very frustrated until I found this. Thank you

So happy to see you guys pop up on my screen. I haven’t seen you for a while. You are both just as lovely as ever. Sandy from Cincinnati.

You both look wonderful! I have always been a Continental knitter as my mother was Finnish and that is how all Finns knit. It is much more ergonomic and efficient. The only time I knit English style is when I am doing colour work.

What a beautiful Yumiko Alexander top, Barb! Thank you two for bringing us to the Blue Barn Quilt Co.

As someone who just recently started sewing, about 6 months ago, ( my first quilt is at my local shop being quilted😁) I SO enjoyed this episode with the visit to the quilt shop. What a beautiful shop with such a caring and kind owner🩵. I am so inspired by the quilts, the hand stitching, the colors, the encouragement to be creative, everything. So May ideas! One warning, do not watch this right before bed, you will never sleep because your head will be filled with so many new ideas! 😂 Thanks Barb and Cynthia!

Fantastic 😊 thanks for taking us along.😍

It’s always great to spend some time with you two!

❤❤❤

Lovely episode, talk about the art of quilting !!! Wow !

Cynthia, I liked your tips. I plan t add them to my next cable cast on, which will be occurring shortly.

I really like this knitted method way more sturdy than regular thread sewing up a hole in a thicker type sock...Which is all my socks, i hate thin cheap socks...usually women's socks specifically are made crappy so ive always bought mens socks, lol, theyre way better quality. Im a sock weirdo,totally have to wear socks to bed, im cold if i dont have socks on. As a kid i remember when my Grandmother would watch my siblings and I after school while my Mom was in college, Ide watch my Grandma knitt dozens of socks, us kids of cours hated them and shoved them to back of our drawers...but as i got oldee i learned her socks would have sold for easily 40$ a pair, just high quality wool yard and very skilled knitting. I watched her knitting the socks for years. We still have a bunch of them, all made with her old school thick awsome wool yarn, not itchy at all surprisingly. These socks will last a lifetime and with this patch method for any spots that do wear out, they for sure will last a lifetime. I acually ran across a giant bag full of my Grandmothers half finished socks, and all the balls of yarn and needles that she was in process of knitting. I tried picking it back up to maybe finish them, but holy cow i had no idea how difficult knitting socks really is...not at all as easy as she'd made it appear all those years.

Wow! This would be the kind of knitting retreat I would love to be part of. I'm also tempted to participate in the The Longest Day KAL... And I want a kit for the thrummed mittens... It never ends 😁! ❤❤❤

Yay Nicole! So happy to hear you are supporting Alzheimer society. Thank you for your support. We are meeting on Mondays in June, and over the summer we will be appearing on Sundays at the Summer Crawl!

Great episode, so much production !!! I am so glad I listenned, somehow I thought the makers meet up were finished for the season, I'll see you next Monday !!! I'll also join you and Ann Budd for her The Longest Day Knit/Crochet-A-Long fundraiser. Will go to Biscotte this weekend to get my Twistabella.

Thank you ~ this is fabulous! I've been casting on to DPN's then transferring to magic loop, which is a bit of a hassle.

Thanks fot this very clear tuto. I suppose you could also use this same technique with the german twisted cast-on if you needed a little more elasticity in the cast-on, couldn't you ?

I usually knit my socks toe/up two at a time starting with Judy's magic cast on, but I really appreciate this tuto for a different option. THANKS !

Thanks for this video. It certainly helped with a lot of the mitten problems I have been having.

Cynthia, I looooove your hair!! Also sorry if I missed it; what pattern/yarn is that beautiful sweater you’re wearing?!

Thank you so much, Cynthia!

Great tuto thanks, I love Ann Budd's trick at the end, will remember it.

I had a problem with the last stich yesterday and the problem is solved this morning. Thank you!

Stephan West show it too, but I prefer your way to do it, because you pick up the stitches before you cut the yarn. This is much better. 👍👍👍

A rallying cry for the ages: “Don’t steek alone.” (Maybe also, “Don’t steek and drive.”

Great video and perfect timing. Thanks so much Cynthia. I have been struggling with a tubular cast off on a project

So sad to have missed the Wool, Wine and Wheels trip. Dreaming of next year. This trip would be wonderful in the fall, with the poplar and larch trees turning g gold…….*sign*

Brilliant footage from the Wool, Wine, Wheels Tour...sign me up! Take a New Yorker with you!

Yes please! I hope you do the Wool Wine and Wheels trip again. I will definitely go again! I had a fantastic time!

Barb, even though you only took off your sunglasses for a moment I noticed you look much more relaxed than in previous episodes.

Chicago Bears fans would love the orange and blue socks! 🧦🐻

Does the knitted patch allow the sock to last longer than woven darning? I was thinking that the knitted patch has more stretch than darning, so it would put less stress on the original fabric at the anchor points. Or is there not much difference?

2:08 Just to clarify: You pick up stitches from the row below the hole, extending two to three columns beyond the edges of the hole?

Hi, great podcast! Where can I find the pattern for the cable socks designed by Barb Brown? Couldn’t find the pattern on Ravelry. Thank you!
