I predict the two of you are going to be a huge success in the knitting podcast world. You’re sweet and lovely, unassuming, and beautiful knitters. Well done. All the best from Denmark ❤️

Thank you so much, that is so incredibly kind of you to say! We are just so grateful to have found this beautiful craft and this community of other knitters! Thank you so much for watching!! ❤
I am so glad to have found your podcast. We have similar taste. I also live in the Kansas City area and have 17 year old twins.💞
Love watching you two. I have identical 16 year old twin grandsons.
Thank you for sharing your time with another lovely episode. Look forward to tuning in again.
My daughter lived in KCMO for a few years as a school counselor. She has since moved back home to Michigan, which is where I live. We many wonderful close friends in KC and visit about once a year.
Wow! 2 for 1 vlog. Very pro channel. Great audio and video. Y'all r blessed to have a double wardrobe. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you. I love the patterns, the colours and the fabrics you choose. I do like natural fibres. Also you slip in little bits of info like the length of shoulder straps. You made me smile with your giggles and I’d never have got them under control if it were me! It’s lovely and fun to watch you. I’m knitting a huge Rowan cable winter jumper in Alpaca soft in between knitting other stuff. It’s a long and slow process started last Feb. I hope to wear it this coming winter! I’m not that fast but don’t mind that as I always like to have something on the go. Meanwhile I’m hoping to sneak in one of those little summer cami knits to wear before summer ends. Not that it’s very summery here in the U.K. but I’m not complaining as there are some hugely high temperatures and wildfires in Europe at the moment. It’s very scary. So with all that happening, it’s bliss to drift off at times into gorgeous knitting vlogs like yours.
I loved hearing about you both a little. Thanks! Love your podcasts. ❤️
Enjoyed the podcast ladies! I just finished JoJi's Staple Linen Tee. I wasn't sure of the fit, but love it! I used Queen City Yarn, in the Coleman base. Can't say enough about this summer fiber yarn! I like the pattern because it is a tank, but not overly revealing. Look forward to your next update.

I really like the Novita Woolly Wood. Here in Finland it’s a very affordable yarn and I’ve done several projects with it. I made a Dustland sweater for my husband with it, and at least couple of kiddo cardigans and a Summer Secret Crop! Works like a charm every time and can be washed in a washing machine! You two are so cute. 🤭

Ahh it is so good to know its machine washable! Just another perk of how great this yarn is working up! 😊 Also, in the last video I think you had commented that the coloring is a bit low, and I think this one was better but after this video I read that sometimes uploading through Chrome desaturates colors, so maybe thats it! Hopefully third time is the charm 😊
I LOVE the length of your video! So many knitting podcasts are over an hour.

Wow, those cardigans are stunning! You are both great knitters. Also love your colours. I have identical twin sisters but they sadly do not knit. Thanks for the lovely episode.
Well, it looks like you girls are already for the winter and did a wonderful job better than I could I guess but then I’m quite elderly so I’ve had my day I guess however, real pretty girls and you did a wonderful job. Keep up the good work in study hard and get a job or no need to see you on KZread.

Good job on your podcast. I am a mum of adult identical twin girls who still like to match sometimes:) The Champagne cardigans are lovely!
When you talk about a petitknit pattern, can you please address the difficulty level that she has rated, and if you agree, because I have the same taste as both of you but I see that you both are better knitters. You both are wonderful to listen to
Hi! I enjoyed your 1st podcast just this week, and I'm watching your 2nd now. Beautiful work, and it's nice that you're doing this together, it's fascinating to watch you both! Also thank you for telling more about yours3lves here, I wondered where you live, how old you are, etc. For myself, I'm currently working on the Melides tank top, which has both a v-neck and square neck, and can be worn either way. I'm attempting it inindigo cotton-linen from woolyknit, and it's in a pretty fine gauge, so this is likely to take me a while. Keep up the good podcasting and all the best!

Ahh the Melides is such a beautiful pattern! Rachel test knit the dress version of the pattern last summer and has such amazing things to say about it! I don't think I'm familiar with the yarn but I'm sure it will be a stunning summer piece when its finished!!
Hi. I am loving your new channel. I live in Kirksville, MO, so it's nice to find a MO knitting show! I also am the mother of twins, so I really enjoy the twin vibe the two of you have. [My twin sons also live in the KC area! And are about ten years older than you two!] I especially appreciate your response to one of the other comments about LYS's in KC area for when I next visit my kids and grandkids🚗!

Yay another twin video! Nice to know your names this time Rachel and Jessica. 💕 I love that you guys also love sewing. I like to sew, especially for how much faster it is. BUT! I don't know any good spots to get cool patterns and fabric other than Etsy. 😅 I wish there was a ravelry for sewing! 🙏🏼 I'd love if you guys could share your favorite spots for sewing patterns and fabrics. Either way, keep up the fun episodes twins. 🤍 You are both so talented!

We say the same thing all the time!! How has the sewing world not figured something like it out? It would be the best thing ever! 👏 Right now we are finding most of our sewing patterns through instagram (the #memademay was super helpful!) and the three companies we're ordered fabric from are The Fabric Store Australia, Merchant and Mills, and Blackbird Fabrics, but those can't be the only fabric stores out there so actually we are on the search with you 😅
Focusing is dependent on both faces being covered. The camera will detect a face and shift to even part of a face. Just both of you come to the center behind your object. It will focus. Give it a bit of time. Sometimes you show things, but pull them back to soon for it to focus and we can look at if. All of this will come easy after you do podcasting for a while. You are doing a fabulous job.

I’m loving the fall vibes of your colour choices in this video, and thanks for giving your thoughts on the Audrey top, Rachel (hope I’m getting your names right 🫣☺️). I’ve seen it around a lot and didn’t realise it had so little finishing, so I’m curious to hear your opinion once you’ve finished and worn it. Great episode again! I was working on my tonight top by Lily Kate France while making this 😍

Loved the video. I didn’t see the first one, so I’ll check it out. I enjoyed seeing what you’re knitting & really love all the yarn you chose. I’ll have to add some to my wishlist. Do you have a yarn shop you like in KC? I’ll be driving through that way in a few weeks.

Thank you so much! 💛 Yes, we are so fortunate we have a lot of beautiful yarn near us! Yarn Social is very close to the plaza, which is a very popular KC spot and they have a wonderful selection. They carry several indie dyed yarn and we love that they have Woolfolk there. They do require masks, which is just something to note because that is not common anymore for most of KC, but they usually have some at the door. Our personal favorite yarn shop is Unwind Fibers in Lees Summit, which is about a 20 minute drive out of the city but 100% worth it if you have the time! They're a bit bigger and also have a beautiful variety of indie yarns and just great brands. 😊 We hope you enjoy KC!

Thank you so much! 💛Mostly, yes to online! We watch for her sales and pre-orders on instagram and in this case bought online, but we have also found Coast to Coast at Yarn Social in KC! If you aren't local, they also have an online store, but last time we were there their Coast to Coast inventory was a little low. I hope this helps!
