Wow that story about the flight... it's so ridiculous! Sometimes employees just do stuff because "that's the way things work around here", no questions asked. What a shame. Anyway, enjoy the rest of your Summer!

So sorry that your first flight in a long time was so traumatic! Someone at the airline woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Cle Elum is east and a bit south not north of Seattle if no one has let you know. Love that you had a good time!

I’ve thought many time…oh by the way I love your podcast and have watched religiously from the beginning, anyway, I’ve been thinking that you should make a display of your own hand dyed yarns behind you on several of your podcasts. It would give everyone plenty of time to get familiar with your colour range . Hope you don’t mind the suggestion? As I said, love the podcast!

Hi guys, i'm so glad you received the stoppers, i wasn't sure, it will arrived. Thanks for the great moment with you, always a pleasure !

Christmas tree ornaments: my husband and I got married on 12/21. We asked for ornaments for wedding gifts. 28 years later, we still have all of our wedding gifts, still love them all, and can remember who gave us which ornament, and it has been our tradition to decorate our tree on our anniversary. ❤❤❤❤❤ Such a fun way to celebrate the winter solstice & our wedding anniversary. 🎄🎄🎄🎄

Great podcast! Thanks for sharing all your experiences.

How stressful.... The manager made the wrong decision..... Sorry you had such a terrible time getting to the west coast. I know how you feel. I missed the flight home from Perth to Melbourne. We only had to wait 6 hours. It was my fault and my partner has never forgiven me. :)

Wow, your travel experience was infuriating!!! I’m so glad you made it in time. It was great to meet you in person. I had bought myself a budgie needle felting kit at the same time I got yours. My daughter and I tried it out this weekend. Some bleeding happened 😅. I’ll stick with knitting 🧶

Excellent I don't get to go to these events so it's great to see them from you. I get to participate by buying products on line from the vendors. Thanks so much❤

Oh my goodness!!! That’s me and my knitting group in the Jehtros!!!! We were so excited to meet you!!! You were both so kind and friendly and exactly how you are in your podcast. Appreciate you taking the time to talk with us, especially given how busy it was! ❤❤❤

Hello Kevin and Ray, from Swansea, Illinois.

It looks like polymer clay is back! Everything that goes around comes around it seems. My kids who are approximately your age, made polymer clay items to sell at elementary school craft fairs and for Christmas gifts. They they made Mila Fiori Beads and strung them for necklaces and earrings. They produced tiny baskets of fruits and vegetables, animals, and little people for dioramas that they were required to make for school projects.The ones I have still are beautiful retaining their color. I always worried about the fumes coming from our oven. The beads survive. somewhere I have a Tupperware container full of polymer clay that has become hard as a rock and should definitely go into the waste bin. It is basically plastic, which is the downside.

I'm so sorry you had such a poor travel experience. I had no idea when i met you at Flock. You were both so kind and had great attitudes. I had a bad experience with Delta in April. I hope you have better luck in the future. Thanks for sharing everything from Flock. It was fun to see.

Gosh, what airline? I don’t want to fly that one!

I have the stockinette stitch ring by Birdie Parker too. I absolutely love it! 🥰

Did you see Discovery of Witches is on Netflix now? All 3 seasons. I am rereading the series and on staring the 3rd book now.

I just got the emotional support chicken ❤ my main problem is I have a hard time reading the pattern is there a video of the pattern

It was great to meet you both at flock ❤

AHHH you both are too sweet! I had such a great time meeting you, and then playing elevator tag for about 2 hours while breaking down. HAHAH

Those shawl colors 💛💛💛💛💛💛

Hi Kevin and Ray, thank you for sharing your experience at the flock Fiber festival. You got some beautiful yarn and goodies. Have a great week ❤❤❤

Another great podcast! Can't wait to get to these festivals in the U.S. one day!.. btw you said "wind down" time after the festival, I'm sure you meant "wine down" 😉

I hope you write to delta , they treated you unfairly.

Please, please come to Texas! Everything is better in Texas yall! DFW Fiber Fest is coming up! 👍🏻❤️ I got to meet Max and Vincent last year! I was so happy! They are so kind, I had never been to an event before, you were right Kevin, it was so inspiring and so good to spend time with people who love what you love too! And of course every where you looked was glorious yarn!!! 🧶 🥰❤️😅 I love your podcast! And always look forward to it!

OMG! Boy, do I feel like you got a raw deal! I saw the weather in Connecticut...I hope you and yours are safe and sound. ❤

I saw you both at Flock, but you were busy talking the Tyler. Glad you enjoyed the fest. Piroshky Piroshky are so tasty.

Great podcast and Flock Fiber was a wonderful show. Such a good vibe there and meeting you two and Chip and Aaron was definitely the highlight! It was an ocean of color, delightful in every way. Can't wait for next year!! (Boo on Delta Airlines...no excuse for that ever!!)

What airline was this?? Crazy petty power flex.

I thoroughly enjoyed Flock as well. I was there on Sunday with my mom, daughter, and niece. I had a glimpse of you two chatting with others and I’m glad to hear you also had a great time. Unfortunately the weather last week wasn’t that great. Normally August is warm and sunny. Hope to see you there again next year!

I enjoy you guys so much.

Absolutely look forward to your podcasts. Being here in Little Old Blighty I watch later but sooooo look forward to watching. ❤

What a great time you had! Thanks for bringing us along with the recap. If the event was a little earlier I would go....or just need the kids to get outta high school! Washington is an amazing place (in 2018 we had the family vacay and forced those same kids to tour around 2 weeks in a 15-passenger van rental that was converted for sleeping but it was painted with pastel hearts that dripped: it's name was Liberal 😂 we got a lot of attention at the National Parks) . That budgie needle felting--can't wait to see it!! Get some Zzzzzs and we will see you next time.

1:21:00 Russian pies = pirozhki is pronounced like [pi rozh ki:], emphasise on the third syllable. Be careful, they are an enemy for your waist 😂 my favourite are with egg and cabbage.

Really enjoyed your recap of Flock and I’m glad that I had a moment to chat with you both. I was the one who stopped you on Sunday as you were walking towards the back of the market place where the tables and chairs were. Thank you for being so warm and welcoming, I was truly out of my comfort zone running up to people who don’t know me😅 I think you should also complain to that airlines about not allowing you on the flight. That was cruel of them. The first booth I went to on Saturday was Red Stag and couldn’t agree with you more about their yarn. I ended up with 2 SQ’s that I cannot wait to knit up! Although I didn’t see you at the Fiber Hustle booth, it was buzzing with activity. I now realize that the guy that was so incredibly friendly and helpful was your friend Michael! There was such a good vibe there. Glad they had a lot of success. Hope you have lots of fun with all your new purchases and gifts and time with good friends. All the best, Esther

I feel like you need to complain. It doesn't make sense that she allowed other ppl on....email the airline. Better yet...tweet

So nice hearing about your trip. Oh man, Ray, I would have lost my mind too. I'd dispute those tickets, and may not have flown. Airlines are insane these days. That's ridiculousness at it's best. Man. But all the rest, very nice!!! Kimberly

Team Ray for the knitting box!

Hi Kevin and Ray. Your projects look great. I've always wanted to make a granny square sweater. You might want to check out betty mcknits 6 day star blanket for a easy crochet project.

Thank you both for this video. I missed the live, but watched in today. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

Great episode, glad you eventually enjoyed your trip once you got there. I am not a plane traveler for that reason...I would have lost it like Ray. Just watched Mairi...Colorado Knitter and she had picture of the 3 of you...NICE!❤ have a great fortnight🇨🇦🥰Sharon.

Hey Ray, just wanted to let you know you helped influence my purchase of my forte needle set. Got them & am loving them!! Money well spent! Thanks!!😊

Great flock rep. It’s unbelievable that the airline reassigned your seats with you standing right there 😮

Thanks for the Flock recap! As for your Delta experience, that was completely unacceptable and I certainly hope you write a strong letter of complaint about the supervisor…to give away your seats while you are standing there is unbelievable. Glad it worked out but…. Meanwhile, your sweaters are great!

I wish I could figure out how to watch this with comments. It would be a lot of fun for all lives if that were possible. I’m watching the replay at 3am, and find myself Sleepless in Utah a lot of nights, enjoying a podcast. But have never been able to read the “live” comments. Transcript, yes. But that’s only your words. Comment are only comments added after your live. I must be missing a magic button somewhere. Love you guys, and enjoying the replay.

I would love that yarn box if it had slits on both sides. I get myself into such a tangle working with two balls of yarn.

I couldn't make this live but I'm so glad you have each other to share the first moments of hosting a live together :D

You guys are so great. So glad Seattle was so positive (even though it had such a rocky start. I was so outraged for you two). Love the Granny Squares! And the yarn haul was epic. Happy creating 💚🧶💚

And one more thing. I also had a gift for both of you but I was nervous and wasn’t sure if I should give to you there. I decided to bring it back with me and I hope it is ok to maybe mail it to you. Now that I see that People gave you gifts, I wish I had given to you there. I hope it’s ok to mail it to you now ? 💙🩵

I wish I knew you were going live, but I wasn’t paying close attention because I was out of town, but I’m glad I got to see the new episode. It was such a delight to meet you both in person and I was so excited that I was able to go to Flock. You both are such fun. Ray I so love your Thread and Maple box and I love that you make a little “ritual” before you start knitting … I hope you keep the “Washington state of mind” for a long time and Kevin I looove the stitch markers. It’s so fun to pick up a new hobby. I saw them at Michael’s IG also and thought they are adorable. I’m so glad you both loved the event because now it means you will hopefully come back next year. It was amazing to meet you both🩵💙
