Hello! I'm so glad, thanks so much :D

Discovered your channel last week and I started watching your older podcasts since I absolutely love the energy you two bring! Seeing all of your FO’s actually inspired me to bring out one of my WIP’s that’s been in timeout for the past two months. Halfway through sleeve island and should be ready to cast off in a week or so! -Ky

So happy to see another upload! I love learning about Australian yarn and I love your enthusiasm. Jacob's reaction for his gift is exactly what you hope for in a gift knit. And it's gorgeous!

It's coming back into the sort of weather for slipovers here again, and thinking it's time for some more. Jacob is the living antidote/contradiction to the sweater curse 😁

My Noro Silk Garden bloomed and softened up beautifully once I blocked it. Your Zipper Sweater is going to be gorgeous.

Hi from Pennsylvania, USA! So much fun! I’ve been wanting to make a zipper sweater for so long and am so intimidated. Maybe I’ll take the plunge! Love your podcast….I’ve been binging and I’ll be so sad when I have to wait for more than 2 hours for another episode 😂 Hope you stick around for a long long time!!!

I think like all knitting things, the zipper is not as hard as it initially seems. I think you'll surprise yourself. And there's some good tutorials out there if you get stuck 🥰

Both slipcovers are great. Kind of glad slipcovers made a come back.

Oh another recommendation for hand cream, because I have the same issue where I find knitting really drying and any amount of yarn catching on my hands drives me bonkers : o'keeffes working hands! Get it in the tub, not the tube. A tiny bit goes a long way, and I love that it doesn't leave any residue on my hands the way some of the more scented or bougie products do

Was SO excited to see your next podcast was up! I bust out laughing with Jacob’s little side video modeling the zip sweater! So glad he likes it. 😂 (You guys are too cute together, Paige!) Also, it was ironic that both of you (Sarah & Paige) were wearing sweater vests today - I just finished a vest last weekend & was inspired to knit it after watching your podcast! Another wonderful episode! Keep ‘em coming! 👍👍

Hello! Glad there's now a bit of an archive for you to work through :P

I recently ran across your channel and I’m really enjoying it. That Noro Silk Solo is my dream. I have an entire bin of Noro older yarn kureyon, silk garden, and silk garden lite. But the color ways are so bright. That was the style 20+ years ago when I bought it. Maybe if I mix it with alpaca silk or something like that. Idk. I can’t justify buying any yarn because I have an entire loft filled with it. Yikes.

@twopurlsinapod

Ugh I know the feeling. There's so much yarn I want to get but had a lot of acquisitions latley which is starting to weigh on my consciousness. I remember a lot of that Noro yarn when I was working in a yarn shop ~15 years ago, lots of clashing brights. I recon a mohair or an alpacca would tone it all down a bit, pull the whole thing a bit more towards a single colour perhaps. Also adds fluffiness which is always a good thing :)

Love your podcast gals! Keep it up! 🎉🎉🎉

Hi there just found your channel! How fun! I wanted to recommend a hand lotion. I’m from the USA but the company is Australian! The company is called “Australian Scent”. The owners are Eddie and Meghan and they were living in the US but have moved back to Australia :(. Though, we can still get their products. They are organic, clean, all natural- no parabens, nothing bad!!:)

I'm glad :) that's the power of knitting. I think a zipper squad would ultimate goals, and given it's quite a buky yarn with lots of stockinette it flies. I recon start with one for yourself and see how you go (cos priorities are self sureley)...

First time watching and I really enjoyed your video, so much inspiration! I will go back and watch your other episodes. I wanted to ask what is the colour of the Noro silk garden solo yarn you are using for your sweater and the pattern you are knitting. Thank you!

Hello! Glad you liked it 😁 the Noro colour way is S1 and using it to make the Zipper Sweater by petite knit. Hope it’s giving you some good inspo 😉

Here’s two more for you to try both are health and beauty Dead Sea minerals extra rich avocado cream the second is their powerful olive oil and honey cream they have a website but these two creams are amazing

I went searching back in the archives for this after watching the 2023 recap video - I’m considering knitting the Zipper Sweater Man in the knitting for Olive heavy merino. Any idea how many skeins you needed for the size S? Shipping to NZ to hoping not to order too little or too many!

Great life choice! Hmm I'll check with Paige, not sure what size she did but think she ended up with a ball left over from whatever size she estimated. Better to err on the side of caution cos sourcing more is a bit of a nightmare, but stay tuned...
