According to the book Norwegian Handknits: Heirloom Designs from Vesterheim Museum October 14th is Mitten Day!
Charr and Bronwyn joined me today to discuss Mitten Day, Rip Van Winkle Challenge, our Fawl Shawl KAWL for AWL (Shaelyn), Ravelry tips, and oh my, we did laugh a LOT! There is a blooper clip after the show's theme music if you want to hear our contagious laughter. Every time I listen to it I start laughing all over again. You can find them on Ravelry as Charr and Bronwyndp, and of course the are both active on our Knitting Pipeline Group on Ravelry.
Leave a comment below with your preference for one of the apps...please also list the devices you have.
Our Fawl Shawl KAWL for Awl continues! Wave 2 starts on or around October 15th. Bronwyn and Charr are still knitting Shaelyn and others are just beginning so feel free to join the fun!
I finished my Shaelyn by Leila Raabe. I used 2 skeins of Quince & Co Chickadee in the colorway Carrie's Yellow. Main Modification was that I doubled the length of the bottom lace border and added one garter ridge at the bottom of the lace. I also used a simple backward loop instead of M1's.
Correction on TwinsetJan's tip for lifelines from last podcast. Use a circular needle size 0000 or thereabouts. Also, Jan says she threads the needle through the row below after knitting back. Thanks, Jan. I may try it again after I find a needle in this teeny tiny size!

What a fun episode. I loved all the ravelry tips info. I am sure there are many more features that would make rav even better that i am unaware of.
I have an ipad and an iphone.
If i won, i would love the JKnit ipad app, then second choice is the JKnit general i-app and third choice is the knit evenly app.
Thanks so much ladies.
tashbalaz on rav
I ahbe an iPad, and would love a chance at the app made for this device.
Thank you for the great show - enjoy listening each week!

Great ending to a very enjoyable, change-of-pace podcast! I'm a devoted Apple fan with iPad and iPhone, but it's my iPad that lives beside me when I knit. The JKnit HD for iPad would be so useful as I continue my knitting journey. Nancy (Knitting-Quilter)
I am reading this blog on an iPad and will go download the next podcast onto my iPhone this morning. It seems like another great episode awaits!
Happy Mitten Day to those that have and wear mittens!
Mary P aka KnitAdmin
I don't have an i-pod or i-pad - Have fun with the drawing.
I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. I loved the laughter. Thank you for the many helpful ideas about Ravelry apps and the easy conversation (no talkovers) between the three of you. It makes me think I am sitting out on a porch with you.
Paula has a very easy and welcoming way of reaching out to her listeners and including everyone in a project.
I'll be looking for those Estelle photos - even the unfinished (ufo's) ones.
Ah sigh... I don't have any of the listed Apple products so I can't say my preference. I use the old school Ipod to listen to podcasts, and an Android phone for everything else. Maybe Jknit and other knitting app developers would release apps for us non-Apple users soon.
Thanks for a VERY entertaining podcast Paula!
Great episode! I especially found the Ravalry tips helpful. I would love to try the JApp on my iPhone. And I want to try my hand at knitting a pair of mittens! Yours were beautiful, Paula!
Another great episode. Love all the mitten pictures.
I own an IPad and would be thrilled to win one of the apps. My preference would be the JKnit ipad app, second choice the JKnit general i-app and third choice the knit evenly app.
I was fortunate to win an Ipod touch in August and have been exploring podcasts and thoroughly enjoy the Knitting Pipeline podcast! It's such a nice blend of knitting tips, patterns and music.
Although I really don't have experience with mittens as of yet, seeing the beautiful designs may inspire me to consider a pair for this winter.
I would be interested in the Knit Evenly Calculator if I'm a winner in the giveaway. Second choice would be the Knitting Project Assistant. I don't have an Ipad at this time.
The Magrethea looks beautiful. I would love to see it ON. Any chance you would add some photos of you wearing it? thanks
As always a great podcast ladies! Especially liked the Ravelry geeky stuff.
Sitting here listening to it on my IPad, drinking my coffee while everyone is out. It's a nice way to spending a weekend morning.
Most definitely putting Mitten Day on my calendar. I think it is great especially having married into a Norwegian family.
Podcast enjoyable and queue filling-thank you.
Ordered the Woodland Winter Mittens to be ready for Mitten Day next year.
Just got an iPad -please enter me in the drawing.
Thanks for another great episode!
I just received my first iPhone last Friday and would love to have a knitting app to try out. The JKnit sounds interesting but the Knit Evenly app would be helpful too!

I think the knit evenly App would be great.
I have an iPad 2 and am hoping to buy an iPhone soon. I would love to have any of these apps. I had enjoyed hearing the earlier app review, very helpful. Love your podcast. Wish I lived closer so I could attend the retreat.
Best wishes,

I enjoyed the podcast and all the giggles!
I have a ipod touch, a JKnit Knitting Project Assistant app would be great!
Thank you!
Hi,
Another great episode--I also enjoyed the Ravelry tips; I have been using the "remember and compare" feature already and will look forward to trying out the other ones. Your Shaelyn is beautiful, Paula!
I have an iPhone (no iPad yet...) and would love to try the JKnits app as my first choice, and then the Knit Evenly calculator as my second choice.
Thanks for keeping all of us informed and entertained.
Those apps sound really neat. My first choice would be the Jknits HD, next would be the regulat Jknits and last would be knit evenly.
Thanks for a great show.
Another great episode! I use my iPad constantly, and would love to try the Knitting Project Assistant for iPad.
I have an iPhone which is my constant companion when knitting (as well as every other time). I would love a chance at the knit evenly calculator.
As always, a great podcast!
I only have an ipod touch and would love to have Jknit first, then Knit Evenly. Interesting hearing all about mittens. However, I always worry about driving with gloves/mittens that don't have grips. How do you manage without them?

Thanks for another great podcast.
Shaelyn KAL has been so much fun.
I have an iPhone
1st choice: JKnit Knitting Proj Asst app for iPhone
2nd choice: Knit Evenly Calculator for iPhone
Thanks, MiataMiMi
Oh, I love the Newfoundland mitts! Thanks for mentioning those--I hadn't seen them before.
This was a fun and funny episode. Thanks you three very much!
As to the knitting app, I'd love to win the Project Assistant app for my iPod touch.
Thanks!

Such a happy group! Loved the laughter and "nature" notes. You're an enjoyable trio and hope we hear more of your knit togethers in upcoming episodes. The mittens are gorgeous too.

I have Ipad and Iphone - cast off from my children. I'd love to be entered in your drawing.
Hi- another great show- thank you !
I would love to enter the drawing- I have an iPhone and and iPad and......
I am interested in everything but the knit evenly would be my last choice- thanks
I have an iPad and iPhone. Would love any of the apps, but my preference would be the knit evenly app
Just when you think you know Ravelry, Bronwyn tells us more! Enjoyed the techy part of the podcast. I have iPhone so would enjoy trying one of Jakro software J apps...Knit Even sounds great. Well, they all do!
Lu B.
Thanks for the podcast! I already use knit evenly and find it a great resource for me.
If I won, I'd like the JKnitHD for my iPad.
I have an iPod and would love to win the Knitting Project Assistant App. Thanks for the giveaway.
Hi, I have just purchased my first iPhone and am loving exploring the app store. I hadn't run across JKnits in my travels and would love the version for iPhone and the knit evenly app sounds amazing.
Great episode and I just started the ravelry tutorials. Thanks for the reminder to go through those. I was overwhelmed at how much more I can do with ravelry.
Great episode! I currently have an iPod touch and am hoping to get an iPad soon. I would love to win any of the apps! Jknit or knit evenly would be my top 2 choices.
What a beautiful view while you knit! As always, I enjoyed the podcast.
JKnit Knitting Project Assistant app iPod touch
Thanks so much for the app donations!
I'm a new listener and really enjoying your take on things. I loved Bronwyn's Rav tips, your friendly toe in general.
i have an iPad and an iPod ( Ihave been a Mac owner and user since 1984!) and would love either one of the apps.
Keep up the good work.
Demetria on Ravelry
I actually meant friendly tone, though I'm sure your toes are friendly, too.
Demetria
Another good episode although I missed the music...:)
The shaelyn shawl is very pretty...not my cup of tea with that tiny needle though.
I will be using the info on the ravelry features but I have to relisten to that part of the podcast. Thanks.
If I won, I would chose the JKnit thing for the iphone. I do not have an ipad. Thanks for podcasting for us Paula!
Cindy
Paula, your Magrathea is so beautiful!
I would love to win the JKnit first or Knit evenly second for my itouch. Thank you!
I enjoyed this episode! If I win a prize my first choice is the JKnit Knitting Project Assistant app and my second choice is the Knit Evenly Calculator, both for the iPod touch.
Love listening to you three chat. Great mittens. Good seeing you wearing the Shaelyn shawl. There must be an easy way to add a curve to those triangulars so they lay better.
I would be up for a JKnit Knitting Project Assistant app. I have an Itouch and an Ipad.
Love the podcast!! I own both an iPad and iPhone. Any and all knitting apps would be appreciated and put to good use. Love the mittens!
I love your podcast! Just listening to you ladies made me want to join in! Thank you for a really enjoyable and informative podcast!
I have a iPhone and would like the assistant or the calculator! They would both be very useful tools!
Enjoy your podcast. I would love the calculator or the project assistant for my iPhone.
Hi Paula: thanks for another fine episode. Wish I could join you three for a knit and a cuppa tea. I think either the knitting project assistant ap or the knit evenly calculator would be a helpful addition to my notion bag. Hope I win!
What a fun episode! I have an iPad and an iPhone. So, I can use any of them. Thanks for making me want to knit mittens now! I just finished a pair of fingerless mitts out of Malabrigo worsted to match a hat out of the same.
Oh you guys made me laugh at the end of the episode - so fun!
I'd like any of the three apps as I have an Ipad so any of them would work for me.
Thanks so much!
simplequietwisdom on ravelry
I'd love one of the apps. I have an iPod and iPad, would prefer the app for the iPad, as I use that for knitting quite a bit!
JKnit Knitting Project Assistant app for iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad---that's the one I want!
All those shawls are gorgeous!
I would love to have the project assistant app. I have an ipod touch.Thanks for all the tips! lrybaczy@gmail.com
Now this was one fun podcast! And Bronwyn, I would love to win the Knit Evenly Calculator for my iPhone!

What a fun show! Such lovely pictures here on the blog too. I have the JKnits Project app for my iTouch and I love it! I don't use it for everything only because I am too lazy to enter all the data but it's so handy. I hadn't seen the Knit Evenly Calculator. I'll have to check that one out!
I LOVE my IPad(that would be my 1st. choice.) I also have an ITouch-can't get an IPhone until April.
You have a thoughtful show- very easy to listen to.
Thanks,
Mamieto4
Finally getting caught up on the podcasts! Always learn something new!
I have an iPod touch and would love a chance at either JKnits Knitting Project Assistant or Knit Even. This is so exciting!
I was out of town and was just able to listen to your podcast and it was another wonderful, informing show. I loved hearing the "extra" voices too.
I have an ipad, and itouch. I would love to be added to the drawing. My first choice would be the ipad only app, then the Jknit knitting project assistant app for all three then the Knit evenly calculator. If I don't win (sad face) I will down load them soon. Thanks again.
PS I listen from Beijing China and loved seeing your fall colors!
I have an iPad2 and would love the Project Assistant for iPad. Also my first iPhone is due to arrive by 10/28 and I would like the Knit Evenly Calculator for that. Thanks! (Love your podcast by the way.)
Barb
I missed the actual Mitten Day, but I did get out my mittens last week because we had quite a cold snap. I hope I haven't missed the giveaway, though. I have an iPod touch, and I would certainly put those apps to good use.
Thanks for the opportunity!

Hi Paula
I'm catching up on listening to your podcasts and hope I'm not too late to enter the giveaway. I have an iPod touch and would love the JKnit for the iPod touch. I have really enjoyed all the guests you have had on lately and your product reviews are very timely and informative. Thanks!

I'm an Apple product junkie and love knitting apps! I have an iPad and iPhone and use knitting apps on both. Thanks for a great podcast!
I was so excited to get a Rav messages from Bronwyn letting me know I won the Knit Even App. Very exciting...and a really great app for my iPhone. Thank you, this is a first for me to win something from a podcast!
