You are one of my favourite podcasts. Always interesting and inspiring. I am looking forward to the crescent shawl pattern as after years of shawl knitting I am finding crescent the most wearable shape for me on our everyday winter walks. The striped edging adds a great touch.

I don’t know if I say it every time I get to visit you in Montreal (and I will from now on!) but your podcast is always so interesting, informative, and fun. Thank you for keeping with it! As for the paid pattern model, I completely support your choice to do that. You have one of the absolute best yarn shops I’ve been to (I have obsessively visited many throughout Canada, the US, the UK, Europe, and Australia). This isn’t *only* because of the truly excellent, friendly and helpful staff at ET and your excellent choices in what to stock, although those are certainly a big part of it. What I have also appreciated from day one is your steady supply of new store samples and projects. You don’t just have a few tired old baby blankets, hats, and tiny swatches lying about (which so many shops still seem to do.) You all put so much effort into finding what’s new, interesting, and different, and then making a sample or two so people can truly visualize it in yarns that you carry. And then, on top of all that, you make a great podcast with really excellent notes included, so that we can benefit from all this work, even from afar. Thank you for all this. I’m delighted to be able to support you!

@EspaceTricotPodcast 12 күн бұрын

This is such wonderful feedback, thank you SO much! Sometimes we look around and think, how many store samples is too many? 😱 But we really enjoy finding new designers, and putting our yarns to the true test by knitting with them regularly. And even the oldest samples still have value as new customers come in who have never seen them before and are inspired. (Which is why we have bins and bins of them and rarely let them go!)

I watch/listen to A LOT of knitting podcasts, and you’re in my top five! Love hearing about your projects as well as goodies available in the store. Also, I too rescue vintage sweaters from thrift stores (my latest is a traditional Aran cardigan that someone obviously tossed in the washer and felted. 😢 But good news-it’s now a cropped cardigan with 3/4-length sleeves that looks great w/ high-waisted jeans.)Yes, I would love the special episode on changes in the fashion world and the subsequent impacts on the secondhand market.

Hello Stephanie and Naomi! It was so nice chatting with you at Knit City in Toronto. Can I say this episode is sooooo inspiring? I’ve been thinking recently about embroidering on some rtw sweaters and shawls that I have in my wardrobe and even bought the recent embroidery book for knits and perhaps this is the boost I need to kickstart the projects….so beautiful what you have done. I also want to commend you for your recent shift in your pattern library. You explained your reason for change so well and clearly you still have your patrons at heart for wanting to provide them with your beautiful patterns. Well done ladies, your values and enthusiasm is a gift in our yarny community. 👏 👏 💜

the embroidery on the Irish knit cardigan is incredible and very inspiring. It is going to be a total work of art. Great idea for a KAL!! Love the kit. The "tennis core" shawl is amazing. It is nothing like any of the newly published shawls. In my fantasy I actually play tennis, lunch at the club, have sunset cocktails on the sailboat after a sunny day at sea!!! When you publish I'm going to knit it for my pickleball playing daughter-in-law.

Steph, I'm not typically a shawl knitter -- but I love the design of the Mirka shawl (and I think that's a fantastic name for it). I hope you continue with it and write it up as a pattern.

@daniellebissonnette3304 13 күн бұрын

When I saw your Dale of Norway sweater, I first thought it was a Drops pattern. They have many Norwegian designs that would definitely still be knit-worthy. I have been eyeing a few of these for some time now. Kudos for saving a perfectly fine sweater. As hand knitters, I think it's perfectly OK to fix a sweater, even if it is machine made.

I too have just started a spinning journey. I bought the Ashford Kiwi 3. It is a nice size and does fold up a bit for easy storage. We camp some so I thought this was a good one for me. I have not had a chance to spin yet. I think I want to take a class. I feel like it is a natural progress for a knitter. I am intrigued by “art yarn” which I find a bit pricey. So I want to make my own. I also have a dream of spinning some beautiful natural colored wool and knitting it into a cable sweater. But… I need to get some experience first. Happy knitting and spinning Jennifer! Thanks for your podcast and the happiness you share with all of us💕

I've knit 2 Calliope sweaters. For the second one, I did a twisted stitch for alternate ribbing knit sections, both at the neckline and on the sleeves. Also went to a smaller needle for the last 1.5" of the sleeve ribbing for a better fit, especially for our daughter, a librarian, who is handling books all day. Next step willbe for her to embroider on my knitwear. We can share our skills sets that way....should be fun.

Funny how as soon as you knit a sweater you see it everywhere...I just finished a Similar all over cable sweater called Fiadh by Marie Greene using Soft Spun by Briggs and little. 5doodles on Ravelry. Overwhelming at first I was giving myself till xmas to finish but it was so much fun to work on , I finished it in a month and a half. 🥰🇨🇦Sharon.

I am actually surprised you waited so long to charge for your free patterns. They had been free for many years and now that you two now run Espace tricot..."that's Business ". And the fact you offer patterns when you make a purchase makes sense and shows that you care about your customers. Thank you!🥰🇨🇦Sharon.

Hallo, ich finde es vollkommen in Ordnung, für eine Anleitung zu bezahlen. Es ist auch schön, dass man sie einzeln kaufen kann, und nicht die Wolle dazu auch noch kaufen muss. Ich war letzte Woche das erste Mal in Montreal und habe es leider nicht geschafft im Laden vorbei zuschauen. Vielleicht beim nächsten Besuch. Ich freue mich schon auf die Anleitung vom Tennis Shawl. Es schaut toll nach Sommer aus. Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland, Uli

I think it is very gracious of you to offer people free patterns with purchases. I am sure that tens of thousands have benefitted from the many years of free patterns, and it is quite understandable that you cannot offer support and such for people while growing your business and putting out new content. You always seem to go above and beyond.

Not ok to charge for patterns that were free and especially patterns you did not write. It’s really tacky to make money off of someone else’s intellectual property or simply someone else’s art. Nothing about that sits well with me. If you only started charging for new patterns or for the patterns YOU wrote that’s fine but what you did is greedy and tacky. Lost me as a customer. I will not pay for a single one of Melissa and Lisa’s patterns that they kindly and generously put out to the world for free.

@lyndaannibal8990 13 күн бұрын

I think they are charging for the pattern support they offer for these patterns. Their time is worth something. I’m betting they got permission from Melissa and Lisa first.

@beverley7777 13 күн бұрын

I wonder if you even know this is actually the case? Kind of “tacky” to say this without actually knowing. And the did explain that you can still get a pattern for free if you shop with them (for anything at all, not necessarily for yarn?) Also, you could have had them all for free if you’d simply downloaded them when they were offered… this just sounds like sour grapes, to be honest.

Hi - this is a reply to the top comment in this sub-thread but is a response to the larger discussion. We knew this decision would not make everyone happy, and folks are allowed not to like it, and to express that. We won't get into financial details, but be assured, designers have been paid for their work. It's uncomfortable to be called greedy or tacky, but we are public figures of a sort and invited comment. We'd like to leave this discussion up, but please stay civil - thanks for your support!

@a.leehilliard4716 12 күн бұрын

You can also bring in the Grocery Girls. They have made it their goal to make sure no one have free patterns. They have made it a point to show their dismay that the previous owners had free patterns. I stopped buying from Espace Tricot and grocery girls because of this. Understand the double talk when you watch these you tube videos. The most laughable recent one is Amy Beth who used to go on half hour rants because the world didn't support obesity. She is now going on rants because people have noticed that she has obviously lost weight. You can't make up the crap in this clown world that we live in. These are spoiled, privileged women who are only pretending to give a damn.
