A knitting episode (10): The Snow Crocus + Paris cast-on & acquisition (and knitting at Versailles)

[@beckyorem1417]

You are such an inspiration. Both with your knitting (which is superb) and your general philosophy of life. Your videos are calming and inspiring. Thank you so much for doing this.

[@danishmusings]

Thank you for your words, which are much appreciated 😘❤️

[@rebylau]

I was so excited to see that you've made the Snow Crocus in that amazing color! (And I've been binge watching your videos ever since!) I've made two of the same sweater (in an off white yarn), one in L and one in S for my two teenagers. They really like it. This pattern is long and detailed but also a fun one to make. I simply loves the resulting garments. Now I'm really tempting to make one in this Sugar Fairy color!

[@germaineramirez4733]

Hi Helles, I love your podcasts! It was wonderful to see Versailles again, I haven't been there since 1983, but I remember it well. I really enjoy that you podcast alone, sometimes I find more than one person a bit too chatty for me, but you have a very soothing and calming manner that I really appreciate.

[@danishmusings]

🙏🏻😚❤️

[@Elianaalfonso7703]

We don’t need systematic - it’s always so lovely to see what you have made and what you’ve been up to!

[@danishmusings]

🙏🏻😘❤️

[@hildaandrews8150]

I agree with all the people who are making lovely comments. There are so many podcast out there why would someone bother to criticize, just move on to another you can enjoy. As always, I am inspired by your knits and appreciate hearing your thoughts on the yarns you try.

[@JodiYeager]

Other people are knitting with the fall land colors, you are knitting with the fall sky colors. So many times I wake up and watch the sun rise but instead of blue sky, the sky has a blanket of clouds in the soft blue-greys you are using. I also totally agree the colors you are using now inspire introspection and contemplation. Which should be honored as much as sunshine and activity.

[@danishmusings]

Love this perspective - the fall sky colours 🙏🏻🌫️🩵🍂

[@judeoliver5256]

Oh my STILL amazed by how those Snow Crocus yarns blend together! How did you ever know that would happen so beautifully??????

[@danishmusings]

By going down the rabbit hole of searching for the yarn of the ‘original’ bluish version that I saw (the red-headed model) ☺️💜💚

[@jean-jn3nq]

Aren’t they fantastic?!? The blend of the two fibers is delightful !!!

[@dsoto9296]

It’s like color mixing when painting.

[@judeoliver5256]

yes similar magic@@dsoto9296

[@kimmagella7032]

Another beautiful episode. Thank you! ❤

[@kimmybutton1]

I’ve never commented before, but couldn’t help myself while viewing this episode. You have created such a lovely space filled with mindfulness, beauty, knitting, and travel. I enjoy watching each and every episode. Listening as you shared about your time in the Versailles gardens brought memories of a trip my husband and I enjoyed a few years ago. It, too, was filled with a relaxing time in the gardens, knitting and munching on macarons and taking in the beauty around us as I watched my husband feed the swans. Such a beautiful day that I treasure as my husband died a few years ago. Thank you for transporting me back to that special day and for sharing the beautiful person you are with the world.❤

[@danishmusings]

So sorry for your loss ❤️ and thank you for your lovely comment 🙏🏻💙

[@susannegrant3831]

Helle, you do not need to podcast on a schedule. I am so happy when a new vlog appears in my feed! and I've been watching your older videos

[@danishmusings]

🙏🏻😘❤️

[@lindastaley1871]

I so enjoy your podcast. You inspire with your projects and your knitting and your podcast is a combination of calm and and informative.

[@my4kitties]

I think your podcasts are perfect as they are. It is a bit different and I like it. Do not change, okay.

[@cdknitty7787]

Also, I will cast on today and watch you sharing the palace of Versailles! This will be my memory 💖💖💖

[@thewoolwinder]

The Snow Crocus looks beautiful on you, and I love the hazy look of the blended yarns. You have a lovely relaxed presenting style - so addictive to watch. Thank you for sharing!

[@danishmusings]

I appreciate your comment so much, thank you 🥰🩵

[@knittingbooksetc.2810]

Such a delightful bear! I love him.

[@sylviemimichevol3567]

Thank you thank you! Watching your podcasts brings me joy!

[@susanevans2943]

I so look forward to your podcasts! I did not know the underarm trick hole, so please continue to point out tricks like that one, which may be obvious to you, but not to those of us who have not made many sweaters. The colors you combine are unique and stunning. I would never attempt a multi page pattern sweater like the crocus, but I am glad you made it. This is the year I intend to graduate from the permanent "beginner status" I seem to have been stuck in for years, and move to "Intermediate" so I would appreciate all the help and tips you provide. Thank you for your wonderful podcasts.

[@danishmusings]

Go for it 💪😍 and thanks so much ❤️

[@audreyoberg5931]

Such a rainy day here today, this is a welcome surprise!

[@danishmusings]

🙏🏻🥰

[@meulemama]

I just wanted to stop by and thank you for spending my morning with you! I love your makes and your podcast. It still seems crazy to me how connected you can feel to someone you have never met and an ocean away. Keep creating and know I’ll be watching. By happenstance my friend and I are going to cast on the Weekender in Oct. Be well- till next time

[@danishmusings]

Thanks so much for this - love that we are connected 🥰❤️

[@louisakeys]

I love your podcasts…your love of knitting as well as your incredible skill make each and every episode enjoyable! And the travel, what a bonus! I look Forward to the notification you have posted and appreciate their varying schedules…it suits my life!😊

[@cdelaney5047]

Your talk came at a much needed time. It is nice to find someone who shares a lovely craft and travel. Thank you for giving calm and pleasure to many of us.

[@tacistudio]

Another lovely episode. I always love your quotes and trip clips but it’s your voice and kind demeanor that makes me feel quite at home. Of course your knittings are always gorgeous so that is so much fun to watch. Thank you 🥰💕

[@exshawknits]

5:35 it absolutely is magical! I never would have thought you’d get that gorgeous colour with that combo! Fascinating

[@dirgniflesuoh7950]

Thank You! You have such a restful voice, so I really appreciate Your podcast. I used to listen to podcasts, my favourite was Stickpodden, but now .... I skip around. Those skeins look very pretty ... My Nordic Knitting is doing my first, almost PetiteKnit pattern as AntiScandi as possible, I am using up leftover variegated sockyarn for a Poppy Tee, oth that is very Nordic, using what there is, and colour is actually very Nordic ... My great grandmother was a passionate dyer and weaver, my grandmother embroidered in lots of colours, and my aunts did colourful crochet and weaving ... Greetings!

[@Diane18]

You just make my day when you put out a new podcast! Love the sweaters, your garden, the room where you sit and knit, your travels, the kitty and your quotes!!

[@danishmusings]

Thank you so much! Your words are appreciated ❤️🥰🙏🏻

[@maryoconnell35]

Thank you Helle for another lovely podcast, I am cstching up on your episodes, I too am amazed at how you arrived at the colour of the snowcrocus sweater, its beautiful, the yarn thst you got in Paris is just devine, looking forward to seeing the garment that you decide to make, thank you for all the time andhardwork that goes into making and editing the episodes. Wishimg you well xx ☘☘☘

[@rosellajohnson40]

Enjoyed your podcast. Thanks for sharing!😊

[@mongrain8934]

I really do enjoy your podcast even though you are alone. I feel your story telling has the right dynamic to captivate us. This energy is not always there even in podcast with two hosts. ❤❤❤

[@mostlyknitting]

Your new sweater is gorgeous. It was worth all the ripping back to get the fit right. And the colour is amazing. Your La Bien Aimee yarn from Paris is beautiful. If you hold with mohair, I agree - you dont want to dull or overshadow those beautiful colours, so would have to swatch. A lot of beautiful tops could be knit with 2 skeins of fingering weight. Many jumpers could be turned into tops. For example Corrina by Ann McCauley. It has some beautiful lace details that I think you would like. Another lovely podcast. I think making them to your own schedule is entirely sensible. It can then be content-driven and not date-driven. I have been making weekly podcasts since January this year but my schedule is going to become very busy for the next term of teaching. So i may have to switch to a "when I have content worth sharing" schedule for a period. It has to work with the rest of your life. I will watch your podcasts whenever you release them as i enjoy your makes, your travel videos and your personal nature. Thanks for sharing and the work you put into the podcast.

[@danishmusings]

🙏🏻😘❤️

[@JonnaEL]

Oh, Helle! Thank you so much for your friendship; I feel the same way! Thank you for spending time with me today on this rainy, grey day. I am so inspired by your process and love hearing you share your thoughts on your knits and life in general. xoxo

[@danishmusings]

Jonna, lovely to hear from you 🌸 it’s been unusually grey here today, and after a sunny and warm September, I fear we’re in for a muggy, heavy October. Oh well - good thing one can buy yarn then, which I’ve just done (to go with the LBA yarn). Hope we might be able to sit and knit together some day, that would be fun 🥰 All the best ❤️🥂

[@yessysdesigns]

I am in absolute awe of the colorway from the purple and green. Some patterns require so much of us but the result of yours is just breathtaking. Thank you fir sharing about Paris with us.

[@cdknitty7787]

Thank you for in insights of the Snow Crocus sweaters. I bought the pattern when it was first published and then set it aside after seeing all the pages. For me, I need vacation time to grasp all the instructions. I’m so excited to start my journey of the Snow Crocus. Yours turned out beautifully

[@leeanne.loves2create]

What a wonderful episode! Your Snow Crocus is stunning! I’m amazed with the the magic that happened combining your yarn with the mohair. I will have to experiment with different shades and see what colours it creates. The Grocery Girls are in my area and I was pleasantly surprised to find them in You Tube two years ago. They are very authentic and fun. Thank you for your podcasts. I know how much work it is to put together. I was a papercrafting designer for eight years and burned out. It is a huge time commitment coming up with new designs and sharing them on social media as well as interacting either fellow papercrafters. My advice is podcast if you feel like it and only if it brings you joy, but if it starts to become another chore, I would back off and reevaluate why you are podcasting. Your joy of knitting is priority. I haven’t done any papercrafting for three years because of burnout and trying to people please. Actually, that’s when I started knitting and now I do it for me. I love it and appreciate anyone that puts themselves out there to fellow knitters.

[@danishmusings]

🙏🏻😘❤️

[@carolineroberts8490]

Your sweater is Beautiful!!! Perfect fit and it looks lovely on you. I think I can just make out the faint glow of the mohair used and it is magic! Also, Thank you for the hint in closing the hole in the underarm- I am the one person out there that has never tried that; I certainly will now! Love that you give us newer knitters such great information and the details of your projects and that you show us about when you are outside your lovely home and gardens and when you travel. Thank you for including us. C

[@danishmusings]

🙏🏻😽❤️

[@crislanevieira1341]

This channel is a gem💕

[@Bitteba48]

Thank you so much, Helle, for making my day! After watching your video a lot of inspiration occur, and I write down all the useful tricks and ideas. I also like your comments on yarn and sweater models, how you ajust sleeves and so on. And in between all the beautiful garments you give us quotes that in a clever way tell us important things in life. My daughter, after living in Brisbane for a year, brought some yarn for me which reminds me about one you showed today.

[@danishmusings]

Aw, thanks so much for your sense of curiosity and openness. I appreciate your comment so much 🌸🥰🤍

[@michelekay6435]

I love the Witcher! And Monet. And Paris. And your Snow Crocus! Those two colours in your Snow Crocus have inspired me as well. I've ordered some similar colours to see if I can get a similar effect for a different project. I'm always so happy to see when you have posted and I savour watching them. When my family starts talking or making noise I always pause and went until it's quiet again to finish watching.. : )

[@danishmusings]

Hahaha, love this - thank you so much; you put a smile on my face 🥰😽❤️

[@laurelgirard8475]

I went to Versailles in 1992 as a graduation. It is my favorite place anywhere.

[@everystitchaprayer6268]

This was so interesting! The combination of colors making blue and the trip to Paris, what a wonderful gift this was to watch!

[@paperandtwine]

When you were talking about the brushed alpaca, the light from behind really showed up the beautiful texture of the Snow Crocus sweater. I would love to visit the palace of Versailles, I was driven through Paris 23 years ago, whilst on the verge of sepsis and remember catching a glimpse of that wonderful building and not really being able to appreciate its splendour as I was so poorly and just wanted to get home and see a doctor. Fabulous podcast, thank you

[@karenwhite2601]

The water lilies yarn is exquisite!

[@nancybeaman428]

I knit the Hazel dress from the Sandnes Garn Mykt Til Dame magazine you spoke of. It is quite cozy and since it's knit in alpaca it did grow (my first experience w/ brushed alpaca). I am currently knitting the Honey Cardigan from the Knit This! book by Kutovakika. Thank you for your presence here: I enjoy you podcasts as I knit.

[@The-Vintage-Needlecrafter]

Love your content and your makes. That Paris yarn is beautiful, and i agree about just do your podcasts for the fun of it. Thats what I do.😊❤

[@debbiedennie255]

Omgoodness That sweater and colour you are wearing is stunningly gorgeous WOW!!! All your knits are fabulous Love going on small trips with you We see lots 😊 😊💝🇨🇦

[@bonnadowns524]

You a gifted knitter 🤩!!!! And your explanation are so easy to understand 🙏

[@casuarinagirl8067]

Wonderful as always Helle. Appreciation 💕 I loved that quote. Your sweater is magical and optically confusing to me 🤭 those colours mixed just makes my mind hurt!! It’s so pretty and I’m sure up close and in person it must be so pretty and interesting to look at. It’s like painting for knitters, endless possibilities. That heat didn’t sound fun, we are hot where I live but it’s humid and I enjoy that, sweaty but not draining. I don’t do well in dry hot heat. Dye lots 😬🫤 you’re handling it well and you’d never notice and the sleeves will fade in. I always check dye lots as that’s not the type of surprise I enjoy. Thanks for another lovely journey while I sit and knit. Big hugs, Karen 🇦🇺🥰

[@Azure565]

Your latest knit is just gorgeous. I very much appreciate your podcasts, and I also enjoy Kim and Jana and who doesn't love the Grocery Girls! All of your unique personalities, yet complimentary, are what make these podcasts special. Thank you for your hard work and keep them coming!

[@thewoollyworker]

Lovely episode as always Helle ! Thank you for sharing clips of Versailles, the music you chose was perfect. I could totally relate to what you said at the end, as a podcaster, it changed my way of viewing podcasts a little as I can't help but compare myself to them ! Something to think about. Also that discontinued colour of Borsket Alpakka is amazing !! You always have an eye for the most gorgeous shades !

[@danishmusings]

Thanks so much, Vanissia 🥰 Just watched your podcast on all your plans and wow, I bow to your planning and commitment. My plans are all over the place 😅 but I guess these things reflect our personalities - and (apropos the thoughts on putting ourselves out there), we each have to go with what feels authentic to us, right? Best of luck - with all of it 🖤💛❤️

[@CathyKruger-q7i]

Thank you Helle. I always enjoy spending an hour or so with you ….. so calm and inspiring. Also to acknowledge the time and effort you put into your podcast!!!

[@rosemaryc9093]

What you’re doing is just right! Interested, enjoyable and a pleasure to follow. Thank you for all you’re giving us.

[@anndemeulmeester8577]

Snow crocus sweater looks so good 🩵

[@lisarekstad3433]

I love the Snow Crocus. It still surprises me how those two colors become that lovely blue. Good luck with The Weekender! Your podcast is enjoyable whenever it pops up in my feed. Happy knitting!

[@lorraineo.7824]

Thank you for the wonderful podcast, your sweater turned out so amazing, who knew those 2 colors would turn into that one magical sweater. Love the speckled la bien Aimee yarn, I just knitted the Tif Neilan wildflowers tee using 2 skeins of yarns which were so similar you yours and I absolutely love it, i even had some yarn leftover. Thank you for the clips of Paris, it makes me want to go back to visit. 😊

[@tinamaher5938]

You owe us nothing. I appreciate whatever you put out whenever you do. Relax and enjoy your knitting and life. You are delightfully refreshing!

[@CountanceD]

I knit the Soirée with La Bien Aimee in the Nymeria color way. I held it with the off white mohair. I love it!

[@karenley7356]

Great video Helle, I always look forward to your videos. I live in Australia and I'm looking forward to seeing some of the lighter weight sweaters you plan on knitting. Loved how you mixed in Paris travel . Have a great week .

[@camdewval]

My mind is blown by the purple/green combo. It’s amazing and I’m inspired!

[@eleaure]

Hi from Paris, thank you to share these beautiful views of my city ! I see your podcast for the very first time and absolutly by random ! And it makes me practise my english and take time to knit during it ! Have a wonderful quiet and sunny eday ! Aure-Catherine

[@danishmusings]

Merci beaucoup 💙🤍❤️

[@kathyclower8648]

Congratulations on such an inspirational episode! Your knitting and choices of colors are beautiful. I just wish I lived in a cooler climate. Florida is not a wool friendly place, but I can’t stop, knitting. I knit lots of socks. Those are great in winter and make great gifts. Are portable in any situation for knitting. I live Denmark❤

[@carola1084]

Thank you for sharing the process of making your beautiful Snow Crocus. It has inspired me to knit one and I look forward to the challenge! I find your comments very helpful and your colour choices resonate with me. I found your channel very recently and I am pleased to meet you🙂

[@danishmusings]

So glad to hear it, thank you, and pleased to ‘meet’ you, too 🥰

[@angelicab3233]

Thank you for a lovely episode! I am a Swede living in the UK. I love your podcast when I want to wind down. They are always so calm and your voice is very relaxing to listen to. We also think much alike when we chose our knits and the planning that goes into that. When I started knitting I used to just cast on anything I saw but now I am much more thoughtful about what I knit. I am also, like you, not afraid to rip things back to make them perfect for me.

[@danishmusings]

I too am blown Away what the blended colors did

[@vale251]

Pull you are wearing is wonderful ( except the neck shape which is not my preferred) and the color is perfect for your skin... magic! thanks for the video listen to you is a relaxing moment in my day... waiting for the next one 🙂

[@jacquelynjones6364]

Where I live in Canada we've had unusually warm weather. The first day of school was 32C, its still very warm now and its almost October

[@leaherickson6070]

What a lovely episode, knitting and Paris. I have always wanted to visit Paris. Your Snow Crocus sweater is very beautiful. it is amazing how the lavender and apple green make a new color. Your quote of day was perfect, and I have decided today as well that complaining about being difficult and be more determined to give it another try. I am a definite learner by doing person. I love the ranunculus sweater; the lacy aesthetic is so nice. I had difficulty understanding the pattern, but all pattern reading is a challenge for me. I have to re and re read to make sure I understand. I think the wonderful thing about the ranunculus is that it is adaptable to any yarn and size. Thank you again for a thoughtful beautiful podcast, looking forward to the next one.

[@sandradearing604]

I LOVED THIS~! the color combo is CRAZY that it metamorphosis into that grey! The second color is BEAUTIFUL! in some of the LIGHT it seems like a purplish blue! I also knit tight. I've got the weekender on my list!

[@saramerrick3539]

always enjoy your aesthetic. Thank you!

[@PamKnitsToo]

You show your amazing skill and perseverance!! I admire you so much and wish we were neighbors. Thank you for all you share!

[@danishmusings]

I wish we were, too 🥰❤️

[@dinyrohrbach5679]

Hi Helle, so true what you say about the connection you feel with someone in a podcast. I think you are doing well on your own! At the moment i am knitting the alpenglow sweater by Andrea mowry for my daughter in law. Very pleasant knit!

[@constancemcconnell2128]

Your Snow Crocus is a triumph! I love your watercolor phase....those colors are beautiful to me too. I'm working on Hanne Falkenberg's Ballerina jacket, which has an interesting construction, starting at the left front and knitting all around to the right front, including the sleeves. Thanks for your authenticity and warmth and creativity and lovely knitting company!

[@danishmusings]

😽🥰🙏🏻❤️

[@alysonrodrigues122]

I dock my hat to you having knit the Snow Crocus . That must've taken grit, determination and a love of the pattern itself. Super detail. I envied your knitting spot outside of the Castle in Paris. Idyllic setting. Great detail. Greetings from 🇬🇧

[@danishmusings]

🙏🏻😽❤️

[@jla110661]

Totally enjoy your podcast. And I like that you are by yourself. Just like in real life I like to concentrate on the person in front of me so I'd rather go out, say to dinner, with one couple instead of 8 couples. Way too many conversations going on that people are half listening to while listening to you. However my boyfriend has way too many friends that enjoy the mob scene get togethers and I get overwhelmed. Enough on that. I too am about to start the weekender for the first time. I got the call today that my yarn is in so I'll go pick it up tomorrow and get started. The yarn I ordered is woolfolk stra in the color s07. The sample in the store was knit out of that yarn and they let me try it on... oh my goodness was it lovely next to skin. I can't wait. I've never knit a bottom up sweater before but I'm determined to get over the fear of the unknown and just do it. I was so happy to see you knitting it and the beautiful yarn you're using. Can't wait to see how you style it.

[@danishmusings]

You’re like me in your ‘social style’ then. The Stra yarn is swoon-worthy - enjoy 🥰❤️

[@ruthmcniff4765]

Helle, so interesting to see color effects when two entirely different yarns are blended! I tend to gravitate toward grey. I find it helpful to shop with my husband. He sees colors that my eyes pass by.

[@alysonrodrigues122]

I enjoy your vlogging. The details are so pertinent and they are yours alone. I trust what you say about your knits because of your passion and in-depth knowledge of the yarn, sizing, etc. 🇬🇧

[@nicolawarn5809]

With your waterlily skeins, I vote for the Flora sweater, with a contrast plain yarn/ mohair for the lacework. It lends itself to the variegated colourway imo. Maybe hold with mohair-silk or knit as the dk guage for a lightweight, less dense fabric. Hopefully you'll have enough 😊

[@thebooknitter]

I love your color choices I just adore blue in all shades and your two blue gray proyects I just love 💕 I always have a good time seeing your life moments and knitting proyects Helle. I am working on a cabled sweater right now and I do share the sentiment of having your podcasts to keep you company

[@danishmusings]

🙏🏻😽❤️

[@jean-jn3nq]

What a beautiful podcast. Thank tot so much for sharing your trip to Paris with us. An absolute Delight ♥️

[@taniapankratova354]

Your new jumper is gorgeous, congratulations on finishing it. You are such a skilled knitter, I think it takes heaps of focus, patience, determination and clarity of mind to knit jumpers like yours. I have crocheted a couple of times in the past, but only small projects like a beanie, a scarf or a swimsuit. Even though I don’t have the courage to start knitting yet, it’s such an inspiration watching your beautiful videos ❤

[@WhiteLotusOm]

I just ordered the same yarn after watching your video as your sweater is beautiful but boy those 60 pages had my heart skip a beat so fingers crossed I meet the challenge as did you….thank you! ♥️🧶

[@denisevettraino7916]

Honestly, Helle, I think you'll love seeing and wearing those ethereal moody, yet sparkling watercolors in the winter months...they suit you and the Snow Crocus is gorgeous! I love hearing your about knitting process; from choosing yarn to how you decide to modify and the ways you solve potential issues with fit and such...I appreciate learning new techniques and the thought behind why, so many thanks for sharing! I'm knitting the Icelandic cardi, Vorsol...I should join the KAL but sometimes don't care for the distraction of the social media factor lol. By the way, I thoroughly enjoyed your book "England Revisited", as I also love All Thing British ❣

[@danishmusings]

Aw thanks so much for - well, your whole comment. I really appreciate it. Lovely to ‘meet’ another England enthusiast 🥰❤️

[@SilviaMerkel]

Dear Halli. Is so lovely to be with you here. Is like sitting with a dear friend chatting. I loved the patterns that you intend to kneat. I could not decide wich one to choise. ❤

[@heatherlynnewest]

I like your podcasts and your projects. I’ve just partially frogged a Weekender and I’ll be reknitting soon. I’m also looking forward to Thursday’s Stephen West MKAL. Good to see you and happy knitting.

[@margarethastings3332]

Thank you Helle for another lovely podcast. Paris is just beautiful any time of the year. I haven’t been there since 1980! I love the architecture of those quaint shopping arcades. I lived in Adelaide, South Australia, some years ago and the city has three of those lovely arcades. I think the French had quite an influence when Adelaide was built. Lots of hotels and houses have those beautiful iron lacework balconies. I think your yarn would make a pretty Ranunculus. I’ve knitted four of them! Such a quick knit. Have you seen the Ilha sweater by Orlane Sucche? Quite similar, but with some more detail on the body. Some of the Ravelry projects are quite beautiful. Worth checking out. It’s on my radar. Always pleased to see your podcasts popping up. 🥰

[@danishmusings]

Thanks so much, Margaret, the Ilha was already in nye queue, but I never thought of it for this yarn. Good suggestion. And yes, honestly, I’ll never tire of Paris 🤍☺️

[@corneliagoldsmith6973]

I so agree with you , you want the all over look!

[@judyperodeau4945]

Love the color of this pullover on you 😃👏🏼🤩

[@katarzynasarba4313]

The sweater is absolutely gorgeous!❤

[@Rainydaylily]

I always enjoy and learn something from your discussions of choosing patterns, yarns, sizes and swatching. Knitting has so many facets (which is why I think I love to do it.) I'm currently wondering what size needle to use for swatching a pattern that uses 3 sizes of needles. I especially appreciate your discussions of alterations you've made to patterns.

[@sharonkennedy8612]

Love all your videos. You are an amazing knitter.

[@AnnemarieBerlinger-xb6ht]

thank you for sharing your knits and parts of your life - really appreciate spending some of my knitting time with you!

[@juliettelimz9965]

You made me laugh out loud when you said you didn't mind watching Henry Cavill because same 😂 Great podcast as always, truly mesmerised by that purple and green turned blue!

[@sylviafikiert4825]

Lovely episode as always so many beautiful knitwear 🤩 I am knitting The Weekender Crew by Andrea Mowry while watching your episode 😊

[@julianejansch6578]

I totally love Your sweaters and the dusty colours 💜 Just watched to the point with the borstet alpakka yarn. I like it very much, it's absolutly warm, and I knitted two sweaters from Kofteboken 3 Ssadly, these shrunk in lenght when I washed them same way like I wash all my selfknitted sweaters, my washing maschine (miele) with wool program, usually more carefully than handwash. Still wearable for me, but a little bit sad for me. I am looking forward what Your experience might be. And when it comes to lightweigt sweaters, maybe Yamagara Knits has something in her portfolio, as she is living in warm climate. Or Eri Shimizu and Kouvive, You surely know both. Also Ankestrick from Berlin offers several summer pieces, and the Italians Knitting for breakfast.

[@caroldawson114]

Thanks, Helle. Your podcast was so wonderful. Such an inspiring visit to Paris. Thank you for sharing your knitting experiences. We all reknit yarn from time to time. Enjoy your next adventures. Cheers!

[@michellec3808]

Purl soho has some nice fingering weight patterns. I really enjoy your podcast and beautiful makes!

[@dianadarby9108]

I love the surprise of your podcasts , that is a joy! So are you , I so enjoy how you share your knits, explain your experience. You are a marvelous instructor. I can only imagine being a guest on one of your tours, it would be so very informative . I too went to Paris on my own at 18 and have those wonderful memories and I've never forgotten the feeling of Paris! Thank you for these moments with you, I so appreciate them.

[@evip6351]

Enjoyed your video this morning. Such beautiful yarn and scenery. Keep doing what your are doing.

[@Whistlewalk]

Completely enjoyed the peek into Paris. And, as always, enjoyed your podcast. It's always interesting to hear what you have been contemplating over the last few days. Thank you.

[@susanmiller3633]

Stunning sweater and the blend of those colors is truly magical!

[@texasmom8827]

I just finished the Ingrid sweater which turned out so beautifully and was looking for inspiration for my next knit and you certainly gave me that. I now want to knit the Franky sweater if I can find that pattern. Loved spending time watching what you've been up to, your Paris trip and the gorgeous La Bien Aimee (sp?_ yarn you bought.

This was enlightening for me to hear you say regarding sizing of the Midori pattern .. as I just completed the White Mountain Raglan and I was never able to get gauge of 14 STS = 4”.. and knit w DK + baby suri alpaca on required #10 US needles at XL where my daughter would normally be a M2 while still being oversized. I absolutely love the pattern fit after all the guesswork as to what size to carry on with.

Helle, your podcasts are pure quality and it has become a joy to see when you have another podcast ready to watch. You do beautiful knitting and speak so intelligently it is just lovely to watch you. Loving the gentle colour theme!

Wonderful as always! ❤ You were saying that maybe you need more light sweaters. I am knitting the "Desert Spring" sweater by a designer named Jessica McDonald, it's a beautiful fingering project with some easy lace motif on the yoke. I am using Sandnes Garn Sunday. Quite intense knitting because of my size, I am making size 6, but at the same time really enjoying the process. Regards from Norway, Maria.
