A knitting episode | 10+ sweaters I made in 2022 + a wip

[@rixatrix]

I’m a knitter and I love the sweaters you’ve made. But what I love most about this video is seeing an older woman sharing her passions. I’m turning 40 this year, and it’s by no means the end of the road. But the internet prizes young creators, and it’s harder to find women over 40 to look up to as I enter this new chapter. Watching you talk about your knitting feels like having coffee with a sister or friend in her beautiful home. Thank you for sharing. Mange tak!

[@danishmusings]

Oh, I agree so much, and it’s crazy it should be frowned upon that we are older: we also (surely) have more experience, maybe even wisdom, and that can be a gift, too 💖

[@seraph511]

Agree with this so much!!

[@fittoseejane]

I agree! I love being numbered now among women 50+ who are lovely creative matriarchs who have come into our own, living the dreams of our imaginations, and not blown about by the trends.

[@queenbuzybee4074]

Very well-said, I couldn’t agree more. It’s time that women at +40 take back their presence on social media! And we need to support them!

[@La_Nordique_]

I'm almost 30 and it's comforting seeing older women. I can't explain what I'm thinking because I'm French and I don't have the proper words to express myself. But thank you for your videos ❤

[@jackienadler4648]

You are an amazing knitter. I am blown away by how many you knitted in one year.

[@danishmusings]

Many hours on my butt will do it ☺️

[@KnitsinMotion]

Gorgeous Gorgeous Gorgeous! I love your aesthetic. So many of the sweaters you knit are either in my queue or my favorites. I’m so happy that you showed yourself wearing them as it helped me to see how they drape on the body. Thank you KZbin algorithm for suggesting your knitting episodes to me. Your knitting journey sounds so much like my own. Repicked up my needles after over 20+ years and oh my the knitting world has changed. I’m so excited to learn and explore all this craft offers!

[@danishmusings]

Thank you so much for your comment - delightful on so many levels😍 Thrilled to know your knitting journey is similar to mine and that we share a lot of favourite patterns. I agree - so much has happened within this craft; it’s been a steep learning curve and I suspect I’ll never stop learning ☺️

[@ellenapostolou352]

I would have written the same. I picked up my needles, some lovely yarn and Stephen West patterns and haven’t looked back. 😂 Wonderful video. Love love your style of knitting.

[@martinaschmitt2832]

You are an amazing knitter. But it’s funny when I had my children I also did not much knitting. Now I do morgen but your sweaters are too difficult for me. But they’re the most beautiful knitting I have ever seen ❤thank you so much!

[@danishmusings]

You can learn - just take it one little step at a time 💪🤗

[@pavlaholmgren2288]

I really hope this is not your only knitting podcast 🙏🏻 I absolutely love scandinavian knitters and their podcast videos You are very capable knitter with an amazing choice of patterns and style ❤

[@danishmusings]

I’ll try to make more - 3 so far ☺️

[@ninadavidson3297]

CONGRATULATIONS - beautiful work & beautiful Yarns & colours! I’m in awe of all you Europeans who do wonderful Podcasts when English is your second language. And all those wonderful Yarns we are starved of in Australia - thank goodness for DHL). Many thanks & looking forward to watching more.

[@Helen-qb4gv]

Absolutely agree Nina. For a country that grows so much wool there is a sad lack of options for us knitters.

[@ninaspalace]

Couldn't agree more! 🌄

[@Sawmill1]

You are a delight to watch and listen to. Please accept this as a compliment - you are so normal😊❤

[@danishmusings]

Haha, I know what you mean 🥰 And thank you.

[@ruthyoung7599]

As others have said, because I watch knitting videos, yours popped upon my feed also. And now I am watching your other videos also. Something I appreciate about your video compared to other knitting videos is that you do not ramble and you play calming music in the background. Most videos I watch for a few minutes, become trusted with the rambling and move on. So, thank you. Thank you too for taking time with beautiful photography and editing. Time consuming but so rewarding for the viewer.

[@ruthyoung7599]

Correction: not “trusted” but “frustrated”…

[@danishmusings]

You touch on something I’ve sometimes felt a bit impatient with myself, so I’m very glad you noticed that I tried to avoid that. Let’s see if I can continue to do so 🤞🏻 Someone else mentioned, in no uncertaint terms, that she preferred it without the music, so I’m feeling a bit torn on that 🤷🏼‍♀️ Thanks so much for your comment 🙏🏻

[@ruthyoung7599]

Well, maybe a little music in between rather than all the way through could be a compromise? But…I would do whatever best represents you and your interests rather than pandering to ours. Thank you again for sharing your world and interests with us!

[@teriadams7398]

I think you were wise to make so many neutral color sweaters. They will be classic go to's and you have done a beautiful job on everything.

[@dawnriggs5686]

This video has proved to be the one I have returned to countless times...as I am searching out some of the yarns and patterns to make myself. Since watching your knitting videos I have moved on to your other videos and am enjoying them hugely. And feel I am turning into an armchair traveler...enjoying trotting along at your elbow...so a big thank you for hours of enjoyment.

[@danishmusings]

Aw, your comment really put a smile on my face today. Thank you for that 🙏🏻😘🤍

[@melcerra2375]

I loved watching! I am 51 and also just entering my 2nd era of knitting. I used to knit with my grandma, but mostly accessories and blankets. I am excited to be making garments now.

[@gstra9577]

On the whole wide internet, I finally "met" someone who has the same question about knitting *podcasts*. I absolutely loved your video ❤️

[@danishmusings]

Haha, excellent 😍 and thanks!

[@PamKnitsToo]

I am in complete awe of your knitting talent and patience. How do you sit that long to complete so many absolutely gorgeous creations. This is my first video of yours but I feel you are WAY more talented than me. Thank you for sharing.

[@danishmusings]

Actually, I think it’s a kind of stubborn patience and not talent. I’m 100% sure you can do it, too, and actually I should balance it with more movement 😌💗

[@DonaSteffen]

I love listening to you because you are so calming. I have knit for 66 years and you bring a lot of new perspectives to color choices and to combining types. Terrific job.

[@lindahart7133]

Oh my word. I am not a person who leaves comments, but your videos, your choice of patterns, of colours, it’s like I’ve found my long lost twin. Thank you ❤

[@danishmusings]

Oh that’s so lovely to hear! Welcome 😍

[@lindahart7133]

@@danishmusings Ah, you see, that’s why I’m a lurker. As soon as I pressed the send button on my comment I was shrouded in shame. What sycophantic drivel. What I meant to say was that watching your videos over the course of a few days I had been surprised and shocked at the realisation that there was someone else like me in the world. So many of your scenes and discussions mirrored thoughts, impressions and events. For example, a recently new acquaintance and I were discussing favourite films, and finding that we had agreed on all the choices of the other she suggested ‘Out of Africa’. Never seen it, I told her, I’ve stayed clear of it on purpose, and she was astounded. But why? she asked. And I couldn’t tell her, I had no idea. Then blow me down I read a few hours later than one of your favourite books is ‘Out of Africa’ and then I’m surprised because another is the diary of Virginia Woolf. Although I’ve read Virginia Woolf (had to, it was part of a course- I found her writing rather boring) I’ve had no interest in the woman since she was very rude about Katherine Mansfield (I’ve read her too, had to, part of another course - I found her writing intoxicating). I’m waffling, what I’m trying to say is that as so much of everything you’ve shown me about yourself in your videos has been like a recognisable ‘truth’ to me. So I thought I’d better sort out my reading prejudices and begin with your list. I begin with Virginia and from the first page I am bowled over. I have been, for many years, stuck in a rut with Proust. It’s true that he still manages to make me look at the stars, but I see that he has also overshadowed all other writers (in my mind at least) that I’ve missed out, would have missed out, on so many other wonderful moments had I not come across you and your inspirational musings. THAT’S what I meant to say on my first comment, even though I still do like your choice of knitting patters and yarns

[@danishmusings]

@@lindahart7133 Linda, I hasten to reply to your altogether great comment lest you feel ‘shrouded in shame’ again and rush to remove it! 😅 I love everything about it and thank you for sharing - with an eloquence and sense of humour I really enjoyed.

[@TheFroggie66]

Oh! What stunning knits. Please share your knits when you can. Your aesthetic is so inspiring. I am 57 and love watching women like me sharing their love of knitting. It truly feels like sitting with a friend who knits and enjoying our knits together. All this video needs for me is a warm cup of coffee at my side to sip, as I knit along with you. Well done. I will look for ALL of your videos and enjoy the companionship. Hygge is my passion and you have exuded this with your lovely neutral knits. 🕯️☕️

[@TheFroggie66]

I apologize for using hygge in my comment. Now I’ve watched your video all on hygge and feel thoroughly called out on my usage of this word. 😳 Thankfully, at least I discovered I was saying correctly. 😂

[@danishmusings]

Aw, what an altogether lovely comment, thank you 🙏🏻💙

[@carolbates1803]

Thank you for this wonderful video, I have loved knitting all my life. I live in Queensland Australia which has a beautiful climate but is not conducive to gorgeous warm jumpers unfortunately, I love your colour combinations and designs. This has been such a delight and your English is impeccable, don’t worry about the length of the video, I could watch you for ages. Thank you again. Carol❤

[@danishmusings]

Thanks so much for this lovely comment! 💞

Вы очень хорошо вяжите! Рассказываете так, что вдохновляете, мотивируете! Очень понравились Ваши изделия. 👍

[@vadec5909]

Omg! Your sweaters are all awesome!! The colors and yarns and patterns you have chosen are just perfect and so beautiful. So thoughtful of you to show them on. Seeing the fit is much better than a picture. You have inspired me to try more. I am fortunate not to have sensitive skin, however I have heart alpaca or baby alpaca, doesnt bother most people and good for making hats for babies. Thank you for a lovely podcast. I think I will watch them all.

[@smallofferings]

What a glorious collection of sweaters. I particularly liked the one with the bands of different stitch patterns. I’m adding that one to my Ravelry queue for sure! Re taupe - it’s not a blue grey, it’s a cross between grey and brown. It’s sometimes called ‘mole’, these days too.

[@glenisbrown468]

I agree with a lot of the comments it is lovely to see an older knitter like me who gave up then went back. Xx

[@joellafrazier1224]

I love the bell like cuffs on the sweaters.

[@tanyarunge6326]

Thank you for sharing :) This is a very nice episode, and beautiful hand kitted things - pretty soft colours and tasteful designs.

[@margarethastings3332]

You just popped up on my suggestions this morning, and oh what a treat to see all your beautiful knitting. I knit lots of socks but I want to knit more sweaters this year and yours are all so inspiring. Thank you for sharing! 😍

[@danishmusings]

That makes me so happy to hear 😍 I get almost too inspired by various knits I see and should probably knit more socks etc and fewer sweaters. But oh.. it’s so fun and tempting. Happy knitting and thanks for stopping by 😊

[@elisekagi2667]

I'm a knitter and actually I should be doing other things today but all of sudden your episode came up on my screen,..... and I immediately loved the knits I saw folded behind you on the sofa.... I simply had to watch the whole video!!!! I'm blown away with the designs and the choice of colors and yarns. Thanks for sharing these treasures and your home setting... I felt like I came to visit you.

I’m so sorry. I was looking for new podcasts from you and after finding none, I decided to reply to the new most recent shopcast from The Woolly Thistle. They are an American online woman-owned company that specializes in British wool. Thank you for responding to my misdirected comment because she offers randomly picked gift certificates to those who comment. I would have been out of luck for this last shopcast otherwise.

As others have said you came up as a recommendation on KZbin. Hands down yours is the best show and tell video by far. So calming and so inspiring. I’ll be subscribing and watching your back episodes. 😀

You’re so kind, and your comment is appreciated - thank you 💞

[@michellebattersby4070]

@@danishmusings I’ve just watched another 3 of your podcasts. Wow. I felt quite emotional actually when I watched a couple of them. Especially your view on the things we collect in our homes and what we cherish or not as the case maybe. You spoke of the climate but still having the sun in our lives and feelings of despair in happiness and living in the moment. All these things and more resonate with my life. And although I did feel emotional I felt a sense a new ways to deal with my emotions. Thank you 🙏🏼

[@ashlynfarah2604]

As a 22 year old who picked up knitting during the pandemic, I really love hearing about what knitting was like in the past, as such an old and established craft I guess I fell into the thought that this is always how knitting looked😆 but I loved getting your perspective on how it’s changed over the years. I was especially shocked hearing that gauge swatching is a newer technique 😮 and that knitters used to just have a better intuit on their gauge as they worked

[@jean-jn3nq]

Wow!!! You are a beautiful knitter. And yes. I too share the same wool irritation as you. Such a bummer 😢 looking forward to more of your journey and thank you so much for sharing all your wonderful sweaters ♥️

[@kathiep.7734]

After reading some of the comments, I guess I'm an older knitter too. I learned to knit from my best friend when I was pregnant in 1976. My first item to knit was a small baby sweater with tiny needles and it was all cables but I have figured out when I learned a sew that if you have someone helping you when you're learning something, pick something difficult so they can help you all along the way. So anyways I thought I was a knitter until I saw all your sweaters. So I guess I don't know how to do anything really. I knit mostly to be calm or to keep my hands busy while I'm watching something on KZbin or TV so I don't do intricate things anymore. Cables are easy for me and so is eyelets and things. Maybe if I watch you enough I will get out of my comfort zone and put my big girl pants on. Thanks so much for sharing! I'm so glad I found you

[@amystebbing]

I love your knitting! It's so refreshing and validating to hear your thoughts about how much has changed since you've come back into knitting. Your knits are beautiful and you've both taught me new things and inspired me. I really enjoyed this, thank you!

All of your sweaters are gorgeous! Most designs I haven’t seen before ….. thanks for sharing. You knitted so many sweaters in 2022 especially after not knitting for 42:25 a long period of time. Sorry about your yarn/lanolin allergies which is very disappointing. Looking forward to seeing more of your knitting. From a new viewer and Canadian fellow knitter.

[@gretcheneiselt8665]

Thank you - well, if you spend enough hours on a sofa… (i.e. no magic, not an especially fast knitter) 😌

[@karenwhite2601]

I'm also coming back to knitting after a long break, probably about 20 years. I am noticing many changes, much more knitting in the round and of course, as you mention, top down knitting. I haven't tried that yet but would like too, mainly because I found a beautiful pattern - Field Sweater by Camilla Vad. I'd like to knit that but not until I've learned the basics of top down knitting. I am not as brave as you to jump in at the deep end! I was never a brilliant knitter, just reasonably competent. Your sweaters are gorgeous! Like you, I have skin that is very sensitive to wool and it's useful to know of your experiences with the various yarns. I have a weakness for cables too. After watching your 2023 sweater podcast yesterday I have come back to the beginning and I'm happy to see that I have hours of enjoyment ahead to listen and watch.

[@danishmusings]

Oh excellent - and thanks for being here 🙏🏻🥰❤️

[@amandad6699]

Like you, I stopped knitting when I had children and started again in recent years. So much changed in that time! Top down jumpers, circular needles, so many new techniques (icord edging to name one) seamless jumpers! An absolute revelation. And so many lovely patterns to choose from. I think Instagram opened up a whole new world of knitting for me. Thank you for sharing all your knits.

[@danishmusings]

I know! 😊 I have thought the same - so many new things; it’s a whole new adventure now. And so many more designers; I’ll never get to the bottom of my to-knit list, which will likely continue to grow. Glad to know you’ve had a similar journey. Happy knitting and thanks for watching 🧶😍

[@morganunraveled]

it really resonated with me as a new mom who has had a hard time finding time for my knits since my son was born, when you said you did the same when your daughter was born. it spoke to me that while I can make space for my knit hobby when and where I can, life will only be this way for a season and it is a beautiful one but one day I will have another era of having more time for knit again! your finished pieces are stunning and I can’t fathom having this many completed works!! round of applause and a big ole thumbs up of course. 🤍🤍

Hi. I subscribed to your channel after watching you for the first time today. You are an awesome knitter. Your sweaters are beautiful. You are very talented. I am knitting again after years of not doing it. I have made some blankets for my daughter and grandchildren and a few for myself. I also knitted a few cawles for me and my two granddaughters. I have knitted a sleeveless top with the Rios yarn and have not knitted a sweater yet. It is very relaxing and rewarding for me to knit and to pick colors that match. Take Care and Happy Mother’s Day. 😊

Don’t be sorry - Thank you, in fact, for leaving a comment 🥰

[@a_grateful_tangle]

These are such lovely knits you've made, and the way you explain yourself is just perfection. As a new knitter, and one who looks at patterns similarly where I see what new things I can learn with each new jumper, I am GRATEFUL to have found you. This was a joy to watch. Also, as a side note, you might look into whether you have a lanolin allergy, as that isn't found in alpaca, but is prevalent in sheep's wool and can be quite irritating, even with the softest of sheep's wool yarn

[@danishmusings]

[@lornaoyarce1355]

You knit beautifully! It is hard to imagine that you have been away from knitting for so long, pick up your needles and now are producing sweaters that look like a professional did them. And I am so sorry you are not able to wear so many of these things you created. My auntie had a lanolin allergy which meant she also had to be very careful in choosing skin products since so many have lanolin in them. Also, it seems like your hands would be super sensitized if it were a true lanolin allergy. I remember reading - though not necessarily agreeing - that "no one is allergic to wool, rather to what is in the wool". This person's idea was that we can be allergic to the grasses and bits of nature that are left in the wool even after spinning. I can get really sensitized by some wools so I don't agree completely with this person's idea but it did make me think that perhaps your sensitivity could be reduced if you washed your sweaters again. And, as an aside, bamboo is a wonderful fiber with lots of drape.

[@danishmusings]

Thank you so much for posting this thoughtful comment. Since the video, I have realized there are some lotions I can’t use and immediately thought of the lanolin again. Some excellent suggestions, thank you 💚

I tried a yarn called Shepards Wool from Stone Hedge Fiber Mill in the States that I feel is pretty amazing for sensitive skin! It is 100% merino only sold on their website. You will have to buy more than is required as the listed yardage is always much more than what they provide, which is such a shame I haven’t purchased it this year.

Love your sweaters!!❤ is amazing to see a knitter like you… the patters, wool and colors that you mix is elegant and sofisticaste… hope that someday in chile appears those types of yarn, we are a 100 years of distance to Europe, in the way of find a real good quality of wool.

I was knitting a sweater with Drops Merino Extra Fine for my cousin's baby girl, and my aunt pinned my gauge swatch under her collar for several hours, and her skin didn't react. So, now I'm knitting her a sweater in that yarn. It's superwash yarn.

Thanks for the tip ☺️

I enjoyed this one as much as the Spot Sweater details. You look good in your light neutrals. Go with what you like.

[@danishmusings]

Thank you 🙏🏻

What gorgeous sweaters. Your work is beautiful. The fade is my favorite.

[@misspeppichan]

I love these kinds of videos - thanks for sharing your beautiful makes! I found the background music very relaxing actually! I loved the Cardi Cocoon in particular.

[@danishmusings]

I wish everyone felt that way about the music (I do as well 😌) ❤️

[@taylorbess]

Wonderful channel. I'm very new to knitting and I'm so excited to have found your channel early on. Thank you for sharing your beautiful work.

[@danishmusings]

Thank you for making me a small part of your new knitting journey 🤍

This is exactly my knitting story down to Kaffe Fasset. I knitted the peplum cardigan but never finished, made baby jumpers as they were quick and easy but three boys jumping around the place, I was worried an accident would happen. Plus no energy. I took up knitting again last year as well, making a quince and co tegan cardigan in brown fiddlestick dk. Glad I found your vlog. Thanks for sharing.

How funny we have had similar knitting histories 🥰 that project sounds lovely.

[@judithtaylor6916]

Sam - "An Irish Knitter" has the same problem with irritation from wool and purchases more alpacca than Wool. And uses a lot of Sadnesgarn brand. And My Fvourite Things patterns. Superwash stretches incredibly. So I wouldn't chance it. Thank you for your informative podcast. Im always looking for patterns to match my stash yarn.

[@debrastyle]

I love your sweaters, full envy of your skill of knitting. All the sweaters are beautiful and your amazing skill in using yarn. I enjoyed your video and the soft music in the background. Thanks

What beautiful, elegant sweaters! Love them all! ❤

[@sylvienguyen3361]

Elegant, lovely sweaters. Like you, I've begun knitting and weaving mohair silk.

[@patriciaheller2608]

I always try wool against my neck to check if it is too scatchy for me. You might want to try that before you buy wool you can't wear. Especially because your sweaters are beyond amazing. Each sweater ist just gorgeous.

[@danishmusings]

I actually do that, too, but didn’t in the beginning. Lesson learned ☺️

[@margaretrodee3519]

OH. MY. GOODNESS! I'd have to say those We're some of the most BEAUTIFUL hand knit sweaters I have ever seen. You are the awesome kind if brave knitter I'd like to be more like! Well done. Thank you for sharing. ❤ GORGEOUS!!!!

[@danishmusings]

Oh, wow, thanks so much. Honestly, if I can do it, you certainly can, too 💪🥰

[@deborahmcgough776]

Your work is beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing.

Totally enjoyed this video. I taught myself to knit at 65ish. I'm 75ish and still at it. Just started a top-down raglan cardi - maybe for my daughter, who knows. LOL For older knitters out there, if that blasted arthritis is cramping your knitting efforts, you might be interested in the Portuguese (aka Balkan, Mediterranean, Around-the-neck) knitting style, which has hardly any joint movement(s). This is my preferred style. BTW, your sweaters look fabulous and the model wasn't too shabby either! ;) 👍

[@danishmusings]

Thanks a bunch 😅😍❤️

I just loved your podcast. Such honesty, I had to laugh. I to am back to knitting after years. I can't imagine what my mother would say, " what the hell is a swatch?"😅 You are a beautiful knitter. You've knit so many beautiful sweaters that you almost can't wear. I will watch as long as you are on.😊

[@danishmusings]

😘❤️🙏🏻

I am really glad and grateful that KZbin suggested your channel to me. I love the sweaters you've knitted and most of all I love the colors you have chosen for them and for the whole visual picture of this video. Thank you for sharing this. I am over 40 and have been looking for some inspiration online to support my urge to knit and crochet more. I don't have anyone ti share my passion for knitting or crocheting so your content means a lot to me. Thank you for giving me inspiration with your creations. Will definitely watch some of your travel videos too, their headlines look very promising.

[@danishmusings]

Thank you so much for your comment. I’m glad if I can serve as company for you as you hopefully begin to crochet and knit more 💗🤞☺️
