really reached the point where it's like that's what I really want to do want to go to work so much I definitely don't want to clean the house I would just love to sit and knit because I think I'm more of a product knitter so I like to have things I like to have sweaters I like to have hats I like to have all the things and it's so crazy there are so many creative people out there banging out these patterns so fast I can't get fast enough to keep up Amanda's Solomon's cardigan ah inspires me you mentioned her a lot hmm it's totally her I love her she I just I love that yarn that she just creates and bangs out it's gorgeous so her her cardigan that you heard yg bibs yeah I died when I tried it on is the Roy keep it by Parker - Parker Nick Parker knit Park in it Park Williams and I

Shalini yeah what's the best thing that happened to you this year it's only June you do June - June 6 months well the thing for me I would I would definitely say is that I've been asked to do a lot of trunk shows and my own brand Chelsea Lux has really taken off this year mm-hmm and it's been really it's really cool to see so many people knitting with it and and all the trunk shows that I do so many people that come to see us a because we're the Chelsea pearls and then beat because they want to get the yarn so that's been really really exciting and cool is this your first advent year yes and have you sold them all out yet yes like three times over no I'm really excited I've been planning I didn't realize how much goes into planning it good thing you started early yes and I'm totally organized and I have all the yarn already so I just have to and I actually woody and I have been talking about starting I'm starting to die because it does take a little time but I'm really excited I didn't think that I would sell out and then I then people were emailing necessary you know you have to you you have to add more it's sold out I'm like they're gone they're gone okay I'll add more and I added more and then I added more nuts like oh no I have to cut it off yeah yeah I did I did so does woody die with you then no he just helps me twist he's my twister Hey he loves it he's so cute yeah and what about you it's the best name we have policy I'm thinking the best thing has probably been our podcast yeah because it's just been such a good thing on so many levels it's deepened our friendship we spend a lot more time together a lot more crazy shenanigans going to different events um the chance to meet more people in the fibre community need to build those relationships it's just been really really neat and really special has your attendance at places like voguing ending live or festivals change I mean his bad experience changed then quite a bit because of the podcast yeah put it this way we were in Rhinebeck on Saturday yeah before we came to you we went and we walked around the town and we were we were talking about going to Stickles and we wanted to get bread alone someone DM me on Sunday and said I knew it was you I didn't I was too shy to come up I live in two towns over I was just walking through the town of Ryan back I saw you in the public figure and GJ and then I was wondering why you were in Rhinebeck and then I saw all the photos of everyone she said I really wanted to say hi and I'm thinking oh my god you know like I don't you know but it is it's really funny when you go to events because you know I fangirl hard yeah and I have my piece and curling and other people other people yeah I know what that's like to get excited to see someone and people are doing that when they see me which is just crazy someone cried I know at Vogue yeah yeah she was so cute she is Josie and we just think we're like us you know what what attorney because all of a sudden you can't go incognito like the last day of Vogue it's like alright sweatshirt put a hoodie Oh makeup I'm just gonna plow through one last time if people are saying excuse me aren't you and it's like oh my gosh this is so strange and you kind of have responsibilities well you know because it's like okay you have to be on you have to be polite you have to be welcoming mm-hmm not always my nature so I have dogs sometimes you and your RBF yeah I have a friend who has never been on this channel I don't know if she will but she said she'll tell me about certain people she interacts with that I've interviewed or maybe I'm I don't know if I'm associated with but I'm friendly with because of this business and she'll say I never mentioned that I'm your friend and I don't know I'm your friend and she'll report if they have not been nice to her oh and she's not like trying to keep a tally but it's the point is that you know maybe we are caught in a moment that we're not on or something yeah and it is hard to maintain that for all those hours so be nice be nice to the people having their moments yeah no yeah it's a lot yeah it's a lot okay on a scale of one to ten how

because that means a new chapter a new chapter I think a break in the routine that whole fixed-income thing is a little a little creepy a new normal yeah for me it would be taking on new things I'm always scared hmm like scared of failure yes man yeah I mean anything I guess whatever I oh I was always told by tad and he's always been giving me great advice especially with the store and in life and we married 23 years so you know and he said if you if it doesn't scare you it's not it's not working it's good to be scared and I and I always take that advice and every time I do something that's why I always say yes to everything cuz it's like jump right in do it if it does it's of course I'm scared to do it but if I don't do it I'll never know yeah I love that right I was just listening to brené Brown saying that you can't have courage without vulnerability yeah yeah so that's what makes it courage yeah right yeah and then another person who who died just thought of when you were seeing that is London who is a yarn bomber London cake right or I guess your big pile oh no no I said you only what did she say you have as much time as you have like she said it better but she's just you know if they say you have a week to do this okay I'm gonna do it in a week five two days Ben I'm gonna do it in two days yeah yes he just makes it happen she says yes yeah where does inspiration strike for you you are like full of inspiration at that not house indeed I'd like pop-up you were just so funny buggery it was totally new focus because I had spent days prepping for that going on Ravelry looking at patterns looking at the vendors that were gonna be there trying to match up yarn and patterns it was actually a lot of planning I tend to be impulsive so I'm trying to rein in the impulsivity and follow a plan yeah it was good though like this is for this is for this it was really all recognize I'm more like I see it and it inspires me and I just take it yeah you know I know that's that's so wrong I'm rarely like oh this is for a project I'm more of a hoarder yeah but see then I have all the poor pretty orphans sitting at home like oh look I love this I'm gonna take this one skiing home with me and the one skein sits cuz it has no friends but you could double it now or triple it and make a park Karthik you know the word G baby yeah I have put everything in my dad sheep everything yeah actually I was doing when I was doing my stockings patterns actually I was just having three or four strands together it makes such fun alright yeah that's a different version of it but yeah it's really fun to kind of have it all around you and also do crochet at all no I don't know how to do that okay you have to learn working on the flower crowns has been kind of bad as well I just sort of put them all together and start playing but anyway okay right or left-handed right right what's the best advice you've ever received I'm stumped okay you can say pass to no pressure path there are so many good ones you know well you were just mention oh I did dad I did yeah you see when I was a kid my father used to like the horses he liked to gamble he worked at the racetrack and he used to say you're a stretch runner and a stretch runner was the horse that you didn't think was gonna pull it off and all of a sudden they came out of nowhere in the stretch to win the race and that sometimes I have to remind myself when I'm feeling overwhelmed that I can pull it off in the end I just have to stay focused and keep grinding that's a good one what would you like to be remembered for speaking of retirement I'd like to be remembered for being nice and kind yeah for for making the best baby pink yarn out there she did a damn good rose gold isn't there pressure for you to be to constantly be on we kind of talked about that already about yeah now that your public figures um yeah it's surprising I mean as a teacher I expect to impact hopefully have a positive impact on my students but in meeting people you know people come up and say I watched your podcast while I was in the hospital it took my mind off things and it's like oh so I'm impacting more people than I realized so it's kind of like okay making some very conscious choices not to disappoint to kind of stay on and keep that persona working yeah at the same time you can't please everyone know so I find that hard I always do like I'm I'm very pleasing I like to please everyone and sometimes it bothers me because I can't do everything and I don't comprehend that very well and that's when I go go go go go and then you know and then you've learned maybe next I'll say no to something mmm what's a place in the world that always makes you feel safe my home yeah I'd have to go with that one too isn't that so important it kind of makes you think about people have had tragedies and that's even if their home is the most humble dwelling mm-hmm having that taken away right how do you spend your downtime when you're traveling for knitting well did you guys travel a lot yeah mm-hmm but we're knitting yeah we're yeah for me it's great because I own the shop so when I'm working I don't knit if you want a knitting so you do not knit so for those of you that want to open up a knitting store you will never knit again just letting you know that it is very hard you know I'm here I can't just sit at the table and people come in and be like excuse me I'm knitting yeah you know we'd all like to do that but it's really hard so I because I own the shop I don't get to knit so when I go on these events it's like knitting time you were knitting up a storm on Saturday yeah I was bound up a sweater I don't get to knit when I'm here I'm doing this doing that helping customers and when I'm home um you know either dyeing yarn or cleaning laundry baking baking you know we all do all these things so it's so hard that's why when I go on one of these vacations it's great yeah I get to knit do you ever turn off knitting yeah not often yeah I got anxious yeah we like it serves a purpose it does but for me I'm doing it all day so when I'm helping someone pick up a stitch and you know fixing this ripping this out doing this when I go home sometimes I just you know being on all day you get home yeah that's how I feel I go home and oh yeah and I don't want in it mm-hmm so I try to you know decompress and then sit there and maybe I just have an easy project of just knitting and for me that's that's good to have do you exercise this morning yeah I got this nap I got the solution looking like four seven is that the time I'm not real sure yeah so TJ is doing a race in a few weeks so I always used to do it and you know I haven't had time so I'm making the time for myself which is really important for me over the last couple of months so I'm taking the time a half hour a day in 20 minutes yeah but I'm forcing myself and holding myself to it so I'm doing the race with him he doesn't know it yet how many miles is it it's small it's like three three miles Thanks yeah if I was to wheel out of karaoke machine right now which song would you choose something journey definitely right

now well I said daughters and sons so if you would give different advice based on gender you can clarify if you want I know you just have a son you've both right I have busts yeah I have a son in two daughters so that's really hard because the world is so different like my mom and my you know growing up it was so different for us were you know late I wasn't only tired so you were the daughter and now you have a son yeah so it's sort of hard you know because it's interesting I was always protected and I couldn't do anything and with him I kind of want him to explore but to be cautious yeah I think it's back to that choices and consequences thing to think before you act to make sure that you have a filter before you say things and to treat people the way you would like to be treated yeah back to those how do you feel about beauty it comes from within [Laughter] yes VIP member until 2026 yes that's a good one what do you love most about your hair I don't know I I don't the color I do like the color of my hair I don't like the frizziness or anything like that but I do like the color for my hairdresser yeah I spend our your own time fighting with my hair naturally curly oh yeah so it's like the the big curlers and trying to get it to go straight and finally I was able to embrace it but unfortunately what comes with it is the fritz so I think the best thing is the fairy hair and lots of product yeah I've heard from people with naturally curly hair that you have to get the right yes the right product about that yeah yeah who do you look up to most in life my mom Nana don't think about it okay what's the best way to decompress native name one thing you can't live without my phone I know right isn't that terrible terrible terrible there's so much down there cuz it's not just your phone you've got your photographs there you've got your calendar there your whole life is yeah that little device well and even though it like when you go out to eat I try to put my phone down but do you have questions like even at the shower we wanted to figure out when it would yeah and you can find out right now yeah I don't have to wait and so it's just always there that new feature that I phone Apple has the second every Sunday is the worst thing that ever happened to me because but it's also made me more conscious it tracks every time you pick up I hate that because when I'm bored I will reach for my phone and that's terrible yeah well that that tracking doesn't bother me so much because I thought about it initially I got caught up like okay I have to get my time down I have to get my damn it's like right eventually I'd have to get down to nothing and that's where I make any sense so I'm just gonna roll with it whatever happens happens and we work from our phone too so it's a constant communication it's hard well I use my phone for my pattern yes yes we can for it yeah my job be my job' and yeah but right so it is interesting though because I am trying to be more conscious of it and the screen time I think does help a little bit and I was looking at my daughter's and going wow a lot of screen time he put his my son he puts it in the kitchen now and then walks into the other room one code but yeah that's good but then he comes back into the kitchen it's terrible you know you know what I find I would do that at home like I've got my charger in the bathroom of all places so if I put my phone on the charger I don't see it for hours which is great but then you get back to it you've got people who are messaged you when you haven't answered them I was later just Andrea specific let's see like could you give me a haircut right now I no want that to happen what's your favorite app Instagram oh yeah I was gonna say ways but no way to use in - Graham I don't know yeah you're right what's your favorite board game Scrabble hmm actually cards against humanity' but is that a board game it's yeah I mean it's a pile of cards against humanity' game you play it's so fun that is all I wish I understood it better yes we have the knitter edition yes we do 4r I'm back did we get to play it last year no baby maybe this year this year yeah do you play any musical instruments I don't like I was that unfortunate time when I thought I was gonna play the saxophone and I was gonna be candy doll fur didn't work out quite that way you have to

my house oh yeah piano we have piano flute and violin always oh no my fourth graders can play baby shark on it's brutal if you could time travel what era would you want to visit I think the 70s oh yes the 70s I don't know why I'm like totally into the 70s right now and and I think straight hands the pay everything the wardrobes the the look that that weather yes you have to watch that all on the family I did I learned to watch it 73 97 oh that's the year I was born yeah I just gave up a lot of information to all your followers I'm sitting real quiet time trouble yeah I've been to all those interesting places I go the future yeah that would by wanna go check out the future and see what's there yeah yeah do you watch sports yeah I really don't have a choice what do you do I it's oh I mean I don't have a choice so it's on in my household all the time you I just all of a sudden felt that random useless information that my husband turns around he's like how did you know that I said because I hear it over and over again Aki my husband taught me what ESPN is Oh first date like yes piano Mike what big mouth had no idea Oh also I will check Twitter sometimes even though I don't really know how to work Twitter to find something to text him like how about that blah blah blah though you should you should ask Ted totally over oh you should be like told it you give me the daily tech yes that would be good and then what about you do watch sports yeah I watch football yeah favorite gym favorite team is the Seattle Seahawks mm-hmm I would probably be divorced if I didn't say the Minnesota Vikings I know about that what's your favorite dance move it is not flossing not that is knitter we should you should invent one yeah like it like a pearl do you have a secret talent I'm still waiting to Frank you love it I don't what's your worst habit saying and like and um you know what those are called what vocalized pauses oh I like that see my husband will tell you because it makes him absolutely crazy he will ask a question I will say what and then answer his question I just need that extra processing time so let's practice what's the question he would ask you you know he'll say you know where is the insurance card okay ready I'm gonna be him Miriam where's the insurance card what oh it's on the refrigerator next to the minute before the takeout place I just made that to process everyone or just him um apparently it's him more than anyone else or he complains about it more do you ever do it as a joke now to bug him um no even though you know exactly where it is yeah I like that really loud truck outside yeah really really not you're doing construction or cry Hyuga if you could plan a dinner party for all of us what would be on the menu check out my pantry my pantry valid what thumbs you know all the words - oh boy disco definitely disco songs like what name one Oh Donna Summer hot stuff no more tears we've done a summer in barber sir that's like one of my favorite song that's good Barbra Streisand rocks if you could name your style in two words what would it be I'll start theatrical preppy I like that when I saw that you know what mine is modern eclectic and this is fun hot emphasis on modern what's the best thing about social media I think probably the best thing is also the worst thing yeah which is um that instant it's the connection it's finding out what's going on in other places in real time and sometimes you don't need to know all of that you get worked up about things that really have no bearing on your life so mo yeah FOMO yeah I agree ditto I think if you can have a perspective of oh that's so cool what they're doing instead of a coveting right I wish I was in that you know that well I only say I wish I was in that you know if my friends are involved and I'm like oh I want it but I couldn't go you know but but for the most part I do I said oh that's cool I'll see people in positano and in Samiran because that's the most coveted place of Instagram yeah ha feet on Oh howdy John oh man now we're that I think that was in an REI studied in college really so Positano is the most photographed place on Instagram and you know I've been but it's like it's not that great it's just that view of all the you know the hills and hawi blocked on Onis Positano yeah I was just I just had this really thing happened where my husband was traveling in Brazil and he said he normally doesn't but his team was abandoned uh they couldn't make it in and he said I have this time so you want me to do anything or he always says you want me to go shopping which is so funny so like in Manila he went to a mall ahead but all the same stores we had that's so funny that hat is free which we don't have a spring anymore so I said bring me back in a spree bag you know that's your assignment go so he said you don't want me to find any yarn and and I didn't really know where to start so I put a call out on Instagram and within an hour of us this is Lauren I delivered him that is such a cool Instagram moment that is so amazing that someone in Sao Paulo even knows who I am right it was so cool the worldwide connection that was very rare yeah yeah and we've also made friends yeah and it's weird but we're getting better at this like this is weird but we know each other from Instagram oh and it's just something we have to get used to but I like that - it is it's very cool I think I have a lot of Instagram for a stranger the stranger yeah was so funny that's what a vacation you have are the best vacation you've ever taken I guess

actually when I took the kids to Disney oh oh yeah that was awesome it was just magic what are your pet peeves show what people chewing gum oh that's a real biggie I don't like when they're talking to me in my face mm-hmm you know what it's my crazy one people who have that handicap parking tag and they don't take it down when they drive cuz it says very clearly on it do not drive with this hanging and it obstructs their vehicle you know I have a I have a problem with that yeah it's one of those weird things that makes me crazy gosh I my list is so long how do you keep love alive hot playing hockey my fo where Danny does that I lose it I die when she does it when she did it in the video it was the best ever jason'll company goes that a whip you got is that a hat that's his favorite joke is that a hat it's not a hat it's a sweater the sweater weather howdy he'd love alive why not oh I hardly ever see him good maybe that's the key that's a relationship that's the case you think Shih Tzu oh yeah can you tell me two truths and a lie which did your mind blow and Andrea told her to truths in Hawaii do you remember hers there was the word cult the word cult with gyres and she said she could never tell a lie and there was something else baptize twice something very religious yeah do I have to say this now yes Oh a lot I still try to think think to to feel like I'm just while you think I'm just really distracted by this okay do you guys remember back in like 1987 those rugby shirt yes Benetton yes and I feel like yes I feel like there should be a cardigan it's any maybe this is the bit maybe this is the base and then there's like two stripes or might need to stripe that they just keep that's really good so to ensure it's in a lie [Music] I'm a ballerina I love oatmeal and I can't knit no way no now you know what's the truth sir oh yeah no I think that we're good two truths and a lie it's totally hard teaching math is my thing I wanted to have four children instead of three and I have six cats at home if you were to run in them it was really good because I love her face we got totally serious you know what the truth yeah yeah we will never was it teaching math is really your thing right now I really like it totally it totally is yeah compared to teaching reading yeah yeah your ass yeah that's Jeff if you were to write a memoir what would the title be okay hot mess hashtag hot mess my days as a hot mess okay we only have two two cards left okay daddy who has made you the most starstruck in the knitting world Andrea now right yeah she's just so beautiful she really is and her energy everything yeah she was really I mean meeting her at niti City I was like oh my god you know the first time you'd met her yeah see I fangirled hard over yes you did that was fun everywhere it was bad that was bad I'm witnessed some pretty big anger moments my friend was at uif and went up to Isabel Kramer in the mid stuff you know it was hot and sweaty and crowded and she goes I like most of your pattern I just say that she wanted to die she was like walked away and she gave her a hug and then she walked away just like I think I'm gonna go die now like most of your patterns not old I'm just what would you ever try crushing my crush that you didn't you try I tried I tried granny yeah I definitely did I I could single crochet and double crochet increasing it I guess it's a little just different yeah if I had a crochet or near me that would mean I could just ask a question it would be easy but about you I'm gonna have to crochet I have my unicorn parallelogram that made two rounds of single crochet around the border so I'm gonna have to bust out a hook on that on describe the knitting community in three adjectives I'm gonna go with no or you can say pass cuz I edit know it's it's it's hard to bring it into three I mean I was gonna say warm and welcoming but there are those that are not warm and welcoming so it's like mostly I was gonna say like incredibly soulful and creative because you have so many people pouring heart and soul into what they do they've given up all of these like crazy jobs so that they could dye yarns they could design open a yarn shop yeah I just think yeah yeah yeah yeah what yeah yeah what she said no it's show there's so many different words that could describe it it's hard to pinpoint I guess three I thought of robust okay yes but that was the only one I thought of when I asked the question do you wear your knits yes they're all over the show someone's gonna want to know and this is the featherweight carbon yeah I made it up years and years ago I made one too with you we both did at the st. mine's craft of course before everyone started cropping things before it was cool I was mindin just came off the needles what like a year ago I found it unbound off the bottom made it a little longer and finished it off yeah that was on my list to make with the yarn that you died for me when I came the first time but I have a different pattern in mind now and I just kicked up there and so I hope I can get to it soon because I'm excited about it yeah if you've been wear one of your designs oops that's not you know road tripping high road all the time if you could have dinner with any knitting designer dead or alive who would be invited who would be invited who would have more than a dinner how about have ate dinner with Elizabeth Zimmerman okay yeah she's there yeah of course we're all coming well she's back from the dead yeah so it's gonna be like at the dam yeah and it might be a little creepy um I think Isabelle Kramer has to come yeah she could cause she's a life yeah because we like most approve you can come too yeah yeah do you think the Knitting industry has changed in the last five years well this said since you published your first pattern but I would say since you opened your yarn shop maybe because it's been more than five years now it definitely yeah I'm on my seventh year how it has changed dramatically yeah when I first opened it was I mean Madeline Tosh was it as far as Indy and that was the hottest thing I had carried and Zula I love them from California and that was really it you know there wasn't that many there was small indie ones but not as Cheryl and I were joking at the table because we had found a pattern for something it was like oh it's knit in pieces old style because when I first started knitting everything was everything was knit in pieces you knit the pieces you sewed the pieces together the only time you did something like from the top down was when you were doing something with that yoke fair isle detail going on yeah interesting so that right there is huge like you get done and you're done oh there's a lot I mean there's been a lot of changes it's become mostly indie died now compared to and people are writing patterns patterns you're getting so incredibly innovative mm-hm and we want to just knit all the things all the hangs I just heard a statistic that 38 million Americans knit and crochet Wow how many total Americans are there that's there's a lot of wind events a lot even that's a lot of people right knit and crochet or knit or crochet yeah I think there's more crochets and there are knitters and that's a lot of people yeah okay I need to sell more orange we should have more subscribe yeah if you have twenty-five siding I can't believe it my journey or anniversary this week Wow that worse that were recording this I've been doing this for three years Wow it's like it's so much longer I was gonna see him say it seems shorter really it just was blown by yeah who are some of your favorite knitting people so it can be designers can be knitter fiber friends I mean I think I know who they are but maybe not everyone knows who's watching who your favorites are oh my gosh there was so many yeah um can't leave out Gee Gee Gee Gee Gee Gee Gee CCC Danny Danny Stephanie I love Stephanie you my girl dinah dinah I'm trying to think the stray I mean put in like Delphina and the strange oh yes we might not house ladies yeah I love them we have met so many people that's in this podcast for me in any case has been such a blessing because I've gotten to build relationships with all of these talents with makers that I probably would not have known otherwise and that's just been great I love that okay what's the most overused phrases in the Knitting industry right now drop it like it's hot a crop so that no crop anything creamer - comes up when tad knew what it to come so when my bookkeeper Chris knew what it was that's when it was bad when he said to me he's like what's this - comes ax and I explained to him and then he started talking about it I was like we because this is too funny so everyone's been asking me what's going to be the it's wetter for Rhinebeck this year and what do you say my reply is well last year to me was definitely the throwback and that it comes yes and I think one of the reasons for the two comes uh because I felt more tied to that movement is because of your knit alone unity cow oh that's right you did and I do think that that it was a big reason why there were so many and I mean for me I knew that I couldn't have a video of just to comes us so I go is so cool solve that problem that was so cool which I need to kind of figure out ahead of time too if I'm gonna see that happen again so that I can get the footage I need but maybe I'll just make everybody dance I think those general you should do a new knit along for the Fall I've heard you guys talk about how aren't you knitting something in the same just the two of you we're doing it on your pot we're doing the as I'm not as if tea um we're gonna do row G bit grouchy bed so is that gonna be your Rhinebeck sweaters I don't think so for me I mean it's definitely gonna be maybe one of what do you think I'm thinking I need a whole word you saw all the yarn I thought I have to make a sweater you've talked about our hour later all right quick for baby what was it who was it was it Lady Gaga that started out at the what la dress and then and then ended up everybody Miriam
