A knitting episode (20): Lunae Shawl, Boreas Anorak, some tiny FO's + a cardigan conundrum

[@leichterlernen]

Dear Helle, I really enjoy the way you mingle philosophy and knitting and talking about life and I appreciate the gentleness that is in your videos. I feel calm, relaxed and inspired after this video.

[@kerryzubke4926]

I couldn’t agree more. Here in the states we are deep into this election business and it is heightening my anxiety. Seeing you had a new video out this morning was such a welcome breath of fresh air. Also, I would recommend the cardigan patterns by Truly Myrtle for some other options. They are very plain but I’m drawn to them for that reason.

[@michelebuda-carlson2076]

I vote no on the tassels. The shawl is stunningly beautiful and I think tassels will make it look cheap. My husband just said, " my she has a soothing voice". I agree

[@danishmusings]

Gulp, I am both appreciative of and humbled by your beautiful comment. Thank you 🙏🏻😘❤️🍂

[@annjavoroski491]

I really like the clean, tailored look of your shawl without the tassels.

[@erinmorley323]

Agree

[@imeldaloimand6500]

[@margaretrodee3519]

Hello Hille, I believe this shawl is so absolutely beautiful just the way it is that IMO it does not need any tassels. It’s so distinctive without any additional embellishments. Like you said, it’s a statement piece. Beautifully knit!

[@icemmag12]

If you’re hesitant about something, that answers itself already.

[@irenama]

I always enjoy spending time in your company ❤️ so much inspiration! thank you ✨️

[@danishmusings]

🙏🏻💖☺️

[@lindapeachey8607]

You now have a gorgeous, sophisticated Lunae shawl. Adding tassels would create an entirely different look and mood. I think the tassels would make it go from sophisticated to rather clownish, or to something you might see in a Middle-Eastern bazaar. I appreciate the time and effort you take to make your knitted items reflect yourself.

[@jessicasyoon]

I am overjoyed to have discovered your channel. I don't want to overwhelm you with a long message, but I have been working my way through your videos and have really enjoyed everything from the knitting to the book recommendations to the quotes. I enjoy KZbin channels from people of all ages, but finding someone who is closer to my age presenting content in such an insightful manner was just what I needed as a relatively new knitter (about a year now). I had been sifting through random videos and came across a young person who was lamenting that she could only find old ladies at her LYS and wanted to find people her own age via KZbin. It really struck me in a negative way - she's only hoping to reach 20 somethings? I have friends of all ages and find that different people have different things to offer at any age and hope that I am the same. It gave me a weird feeling. But then I discovered you and it really gave me a lift. Maybe someday I'll offer a channel of my own to give back! Anyway, I could say so much more but just wanted to comment to thank you for what you do.

[@danishmusings]

Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment and for watching❣️ I can totally understand your reaction. I, too, have friends who are at different stages of life from me, which is a way for all of us to stay open to other perspectives 💕 I wish you lots of joy in your knitting adventure 🥰

[@hannawoods7600]

‘Joy (in life) is a choice’ this quote has stayed with me all day and in fact it’s been what has kept me going throughout the past long months as I am recovering from complicated brain surgery. Most of my body isn’t working properly at present, so knitting and nearly everything is a struggle .. for now. But there are many moments of joy too and your podcast is definitely a highlight! I agree with many of your viewers in that your shawl is gorgeous and elegant without tassels - there’s enough going on in the fabulous pattern. I can imagine you in the Silver leaf cardigan! Your stunning yarn would be the star of the show! It needs no fancy stitch patterns. I look forward to seeing what you decide on! Best wishes

[@danishmusings]

Wishing you all the best in your recovery 💞

[@oekmama]

Because the pink is so bright, I think the yarn sings for itself, so you really don’t need too much texture. I think Soumine Kim‘s Madeleine cardy is quite lovely.

[@rosemaryc9093]

Helle, always a treat to watch you! The shawl is magnificent! I’m not a tassel person either but I could see adding a single longer tassel at each end.whatever you decide, I know you’ll enjoy the shawl for many years!

[@MarieAhlen]

Hi Hille, In my opinion the shawl is more striking without the fringe, the shawl has much more attitude without the fringe. With fringe, the expression of the shawl is reduced and all that becomes too much. But that's just me. It’s SO beautiful ❤

[@pinkpurple2009]

Your Lunae shawl is beautiful the way it is. No tassels IMHO.

[@egoreknits]

The week before Mother's Day last year, my mom ended up in the ICU. She had been sick and the infection turned in to GBS (Guillain-Barré syndrome). It was a very aggressive form and within 48 hours she was almost completely paralyzed. She had to be put on a ventilator. Not long after a track and feeding tube were put in. She spent a few months in the ICU before being moved to a hospital with doctors and staff who treat BGS patients. She was there for a little over a year. Now she is in an acute care facility. In the beginning she couldn't even open her eyes. She is still on the ventilator but they have start having her off the ventilator for a few hours each day. Her recovery has been very slow and painful. The reason I am telling you this story is that every time I visit her she is so positive and grateful. She even asks me to collect jokes that she can tell the nurses. I remember the time I visited her and saw her able to smile for the first time in months. I will never forget that day. It was the most beautiful smile I have ever seen. Then the day she was able to speak. Now she is able to eat again. She is get physical therapy every day and can move her left arm quite a bit. Still no hand or finger control. Through all of this my mom has been able to find joy. Ever time I visit she tells me about some new improvement. I am so amazed at how she has handled what would have broken so many of us. She still has a very long road ahead but she continues to see the positive things.

[@danishmusings]

Thanks for sharing this, it gave me goose bumps 💖 All the best to you and your mom🥰

[@wendykelcey1246]

Bless you and your mom! Something for us all to remember. ( my daughter at 16-25) had chronic GBS, which is called CIDP. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the smiles. 😊

[@egoreknits]

@wendykelcey1246 I had to look that up. That's terrible. I hope your daughter is doing better now.

[@faithdesouza6692]

[@karenwhite2601]

Wishing your mom all the best for her recovery. She is an amazing woman to have stayed positive and keep on finding joy during such adversity.

[@lesliedenkner4804]

Hey Helle, I always enjoy knitting an listening to your stories ... so inspiring. I am voting for that Saguaru Cardigan! I am sure it would be a perfect match for your neon yarn: It is a somewhat playful pattern, but the neon will add a modern touch. So I think that would be an exciting contrast, enhancing both: romantic and modern/sportive.

[@karenpotter3838]

Lovely episode, Helle! Love Lunae and have marked it for a future project. All your choices for a cardigan are nice, but I vote for Silver Leaf. It's lovely with the simplicity of the body and all the fancy stuff, though subtle, on the sleeves. Have a great week!

[@karenberg4903]

Hello Helle! Oh my goodness, I love your shawl🥰! No tassels is necessary, as it is stunning and really a showstopper with that gorgeous pattern. Less is more, IMHO. I always am inspired by your knits, and especially your recommendations for wool/ yarn options that aren't scratchy!!

[@juliabodle581]

I am in the UK and I love to watch your videos. I love watching the seasons change in your garden as well as the knitting! You bring joy to my life, thank you xx

[@danishmusings]

Thanks so much, and all the best to you in the UK ❤️🍂

[@gaychil930]

How good your daughter is enjoying your knits too. Thank you for your time.

[@shelleyquarles28]

Your Lunar scarf is beautiful. No tassels. Its classy and stunning just as it is. :) IMHO. Well done. That's a lot of stitches.

[@shelleyquarles28]

ohh pick the Silver leaf cardigan. That would look really pretty with your pink yarn

[@annettemonty7350]

Ohhhhh I think the last sweater silver leaves would be lovely in your pink yarn ❤

[@tonereinholdtsenhjelle4279]

New yorker turned Parisian here! I love lil weasel, les tricoteurs volants, and une maille a l'endroit :)

[@verylikecheryl]

Hi Helle, and thank you for another inspiring episode! I think it depends what vibe you prefer for the Lunae. The boost in texture from the tassels give it a kind of Mid western or even Peruvian twist that sits well with the slouchy, casual, off-centre way that Natasja wears it wrapped in the first Ravelry shot on the pattern page. Almost boho but not too much as the tassels are small and wide enough apart. You’re wearing it much more neatly arranged and symmetrical, with those three clean points lined up in the front. That look, without the tassels, gives it a more European, urban chic vibe. Both are lovely. Maybe take photos wearing it both ways and doctor the photos with tassels to help you decide. I prefer the Madeline by Soumine Kim. Those lines with the small flowers at the end would look delightful in the neon, I think.

[@shirtydeeds]

Always love listening to you while I sew and knit. You’ve inspired me to start my own channel. Only one video so far, and it’s all quite new and scary, but hopefully people might enjoy it like I enjoy hearing from you! X

[@katiafield9604]

Hej Helle, 🌟another great video with beautiful knits. I love that you are not one of the knitters who rush through their knits from week to week, you take your time. Thank you for all your thoughts about your knits and life/great quotes. My son studies philosophy and I love to talk to him about so many different topics. As to your shawl, don’t do the tassels, your wardrobe is not frilly, it might be to much. Have fun with all your knits 🧶 and all the different yarns.

[@barbarawatson1667]

I agree with leaving the tassels off, very elegant and classic. It’s really lovely.

[@creativian68]

Hooray! Danish knitting musings. Hygge, the best therapy ever.

[@danishmusings]

No tassels ! The cardigan from Kim Soumine ! Thank you, Helle, for another lovely episode. I’m always happy when I see a new episode from you. Lucky you, you got a knitworthy daughter … ❤

[@susanbossung9098]

Helle, I really enjoy your podcasts. I could knit every one of your chosen patterns. Your style is impeccable/flawless.

[@danishmusings]

Aw I appreciate your comment so much, thank you 🥰🙏🏻🍂

[@karenwhite2601]

Lovely to see you again, and as always with many beautiful knits. I definitely wouldn't add tassels to your gorgeous Lunae shawl, it is perfect and elegant without. Listening to you always calms me. Finding 'joie de vivre' isn't always easy but there are blessings and moments to be thankful for. My yoga instructor tells us to look to nature, and to be grateful for a flower, a bird, a blue sky, the warmth of the sun or the breeze on our face. Or just the fact that we have a home, enough food to eat, nice clothes. Sometimes I find it difficult (or hear myself complaining about something trivial) but I try each day to improve my outlook.

[@danishmusings]

Thank you ❤️ As to your last bit: We all do that because we’re just human. But you reflect on it, which many people don’t. And of course I completely agree with your yoga teacher 😌 All the best 🍂

[@irinafursman7650]

Dear Helle - I love the clean look of your gorgeous shawl without the tassels. It seems that they’ll make for a very busy look if the shawl is worn around the neck as you demonstrate in the video.

[@beebe7477]

One medium length tassel on each end in the darkest color would be gorgeous ♥️

[@LGknits]

I love the clean lines of the shawl as is. I would worry that the tassels would make it less wearable and more fiddly. Love your style and really look forward to your knitting projects!

[@bunnyblue3082]

Wonderful video! I'm so glad someone addresses the issue of sensitive skin. It's so difficult for me to choose yarns online, because I need to feel whether they're scratchy, I just can't stand any scratchy yarn. Thanks for mentioning whether the yarn is good for sensitive skin!

[@pjpeters3270]

Thank you Helle for the lovely video! I really enjoy listening to you talking about knitting and philosophy. Your shawl looks gorgeous btw, regarding the tassels you should listen to your heart. However, in my experience being hesitant of something is usually already the answer. Oh, and thank you for showing your absolutely stunning Boreas Anorak, I just added it on my to knit list for the winter, it looks perfect for long hikes. Have a great evening!

[@danishmusings]

Thanks for your lovely comment - and oh yes, absolutely perfect for hikes 🥾🍂🤎

[@katemccurrach7454]

I love the shawl as it is. Without tassels it looks clean, intricate and sophisticated. I think it suits your style so well as it is. My favourite cardigan for that yarn is the last one from Along Avec Anna for that yarn colour - not sure why, but I think it would work the best. I really enjoy your podcasts, your knits and your observations.♡

[@danishmusings]

Thank you so much for your comment 🥰

[@jimmydoesknitting]

ohh. I love a bit of a surprise pattern inspiration. lovely knitting.

[@heidic543]

Thank you Helle, as always! I wish we could sit and knit with a coffee and chat about all things knitting, but since I am in Canada I will share some thoughts with you here. I would opt for leaving the tassels off your gorgeous Lunae shawl. I love the graphic design and clean lines of it, and feel that that is really more your style. It is striking as it is! Of course you could always make the tassels, put them on, decide not to keep them and put them on your Christmas tree instead. 😊 I think the Madelaine Jacket would be stunning in the La Bien Amie yarn. The style and the floral motif would complement the colour so nicely. But whatever you choose will be beautiful, as all of your knits are! Thank you for a wonderful hour spent with you!

[@danishmusings]

Aw I love the idea of sitting down to knit and drink coffee together - if only 🥰 Thanks so much for your thoughtful comment 🍂🤎

[@gregandjanemorash8891]

So enjoy your podcasts. So inspiring. Thank you. 🧶

Hyggelig episode. Tak for det❤ Nydeligt sjal og det er SÅ flot som det er.❤

[@doggal-re6zt]

Hello Helle, I love the shawl you're wearing. The colors are so soothing and beautiful together. I am also not a tassel/fringe person, and although the tassels look good, even "striking", if it isn't your thing, then don't do it. I have caved to things like that in the past and have regretted it, and then I don't wear it. I try to stay true to myself, and it brings my joy. That's just my opinion. All of your knits are beautiful. You're very talented. I enjoy your podcasts very much. You are very soothing to watch, and I enjoy watching as I'm knitting. Greetings from Virginia in the US... Ulli

[@danishmusings]

Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment ☺️❤️

[@tiffanyfletcher8359]

Hi Helle! Thank you so much for your video! I love watching while I knit! That La Bien Amie yarn is gorgeous color - the last two cardigan patterns you mentioned were the ones that jumped out to me! Either one would look gorgeous in that lovely color! Happy knitting from North Carolina in the US!

[@casuarinagirl8067]

Lovely as always Helle and your wip 😮 it’s beautiful and that colour 💙 she’s such a talented designer. The Saguaro has been on my mind for a long time. I look forward to seeing where you end up with that amazing yarn. Thanks for sharing, it’s always such a joy to watch. Enjoy the turning seasons 🍁 Karen 🥰

[@danishmusings]

Thanks so much, Karen, love to you down under 💞🌟🍂

[@janethogan8387]

Hi, Thank you for taking the time to film a knitting episode, I am always inspired by your garments. The shawl is spectacular! For the Cardigans they are all lovely, my favorite is the Madeline jacket. ❤ I have knit the Faerie sweater, the pattern is beautiful and very easy to follow. Best of luck choosing a cardigan!

[@jean-jn3nq]

OMG!!! Your shawl is exquisite and my favorite of the season. From views on screen it looks like fine mosaic tiles. So gorgeous.😊

[@VRg23739]

Another great episode, Helle! I love Tynd - it’s a great option for people who have wool sensitivities. I made Natasja’s Cirrus shawl in Tynd and it’s the most worn shawl in my knitwear collection because it’s so comfortable to wear next to skin. 😊

[@gbitter1395]

Hi Helle. Your Lunae shawl is stunning! If it were mine I'd leave the tassels off. Right now you have an elegant piece. In my opinion (which of course you may not agree with), adding tassels will change this elegant piece to a piece that looks like a folk costume, or just more rustic.

[@kesangnamgyal2892]

THOROUGHLY ENJOYED THIS EPISODE AND FEELING INSPIRED TO KNIT A CARDIGAN TOO!

[@nikitinaknits]

Hi Helle, thank you very much for another wonderful episode. I love your thoughts, it’s always a pleasure to hear what’s on your mind right now. I am reading a book that very much pushes to the idea that you’ve mentioned: life is not what happens to us, but it’s about how we react to it. And even though it’s quite tuff sometimes to react the way we want, I am sure such statement deserves our effort. Loving your projects and the ideas for the future. It’s my dream to visit Denmark and pass 550 km my bike through entire country and of course visit the yarn shops + a sauna. Looking forward to your new video ❤

[@danishmusings]

Oh that sounds amazing! Let me know if and when you decide to bike through Denmark! I’ll be standing ready with a drink and a snack❣️

[@atticusk8548]

Thank you for a lovely vlog today! Your shawl is stunning and I suggest that you enjoy it without tassels and see how it works for you. I didn't think I needed tassels on a shawl but it was part of a shawl I did by Joji Locatelli called the Hipster and I have to say that I have loved it. But, the design on your shawl I think is the focal point and truly doesn't need the tassels unless you absolutely want them. But, I'm leaving this comment to say that I loved the mini tassels and would never consider myself a 'tassel person'! Thank you for also talking about the different alternatives to mohair or even your experience with different mohairs. I can't wear alpaca due to skin issues unfortunately due to the guard hairs but have been trying to find a truly itch free mohair and its been a journey! Be well! PS Thank you for the 'side trip' to Paris with the amazing array of beautiful yarn colours and the lovely scenery.

[@edytheneumann4656]

Thank you so much Helle - wonderful to hear about all the things you're making! I think tassels on the lovely Lunae could alter it quite a bit - from more of something rather elegant to a garment with a hint of a bohemian feel. Gorgeous with or without tassels. Always fun to see video coverage of places you've been! I always receive compliments on my one-strand mohair only loose pullover and I love wearing it - it's light but also warm.

[@LifeLessonsFromBooks]

Yeah I’ve knitted a couple of silk mohair fluffy cardigans without buttons and I’ve worn them EVERYWHERE. They just elevate a pair of jeans and a tee-shirt (but feel casual) and also feel snuggly (with some flow about the body) without the need use buttons. For a project that I thought I’d hardly wear, they got the most wear….thats how it goes I guess. Thank you for giving me some knitting ideas. I’m in a rut at the moment as our weather warms so taking to just crocheting Christmas Knick knacks until inspiration hits again.

[@Meredith36]

I absolutely love your shawl. I think it's stunning without the tassels; it’s just so clean and crisp, and the mosaic colorwork shines through so nicely. It’s already a show-stopper. As for the cardigan, the last one, Silver Leaf, was just elegant. I like how simple the body is, contrasting with the stunning sleeves. But, of course, follow your bliss and create your joy. Your pieces are always so beautiful, and I love the calm, elegant vibe of your channel. Happy knitting 💚🧶💚

[@danishmusings]

Thanks so much for your lovely comment - always a pleasure 💞😘🍂

[@marcuscole4394]

I like the Magonlia Chunky and the Silver Leaf Cardigan. I think they are both lovely and would be a very nice look for you.

[@MinaTonde]

No to the tassels, HECK YES to the Saguaro cardigan. Another YT knitting podcaster, Mari of Colorado Knitter, made one sometime ago and I simply fell in love with it. Thank you for the lovely time I have watching your videos.

[@joannekingston6717]

Loved your calming video as usual. Silver Leaf gets my vote for your new cardigan as I think the simpler style would really showcase that beautiful colour :)

[@CountanceD]

Thank you Helle for another wonderful episode. Each of the cardigan options you shared have nice and interesting qualities. I can’t want to see which one you choose. I’m currently knitting the Jenny Jacket. It’s a nice simple cardigan and I’m really enjoying the texture the smock stick provides.

[@ulrikeb8822]

Dear Hille, i have the feeling that the last two patterns in your longer presentation are totally your style, i would choose on of them 🎉 Thank you for all, you made my sunday morning ❤

[@tishshaefer9980]

Your shawl is beautiful! It's a very sophisticated look that I believe would be compromised by adding tassels. Thank you for another lovely video. ❤

[@jB-no7dg]

So happy to see a new video from you Helle, you are such a welcome guest in my home. Regarding your smart and sophisticated shawl, my opinion is that this lily definitely does not need gilding. Sending love and all warmest wishes from the Midlands, England.

[@danishmusings]

Thank you so much. Much love to you in England ❤️💙🤍

[@gaematthews3757]

I like the Faerie Dreams pattern. I think it is more like your grey bought cardigan. It looks a lighter weight and easy to wear with trousers, skirts or over dresses. It will also go easily under jackets and coats and not be too hot. The shawl is amazing and what a fabulous piece. I think I would go with no tassels, as again it will be easier to style without the tassels.

[@gurif71]

As always I love watching your videos. You are aleays giving us some food for taught. I would ommit the tassels to keep the shawl "clean looking" but as you say, this is just personal preference 🙂 Myself I would love to knit the "Cardigan no 9". I bet it would look beautiful in pink, and using wood toggles would give it a rustic touch.

[@mjkwiatek7217]

I so enjoy your posts. That shawl is soooo striking. Tassels would detract from that and fight with geometric lines of the shawl, in my opinion.

[@orchidaceae3009]

I love the Saguaro. I think the pink fluorescent would be a beautiful pairing.

[@kristengillespie809]

I totally agree with team « no tassels » Helle - the shawl is gorgeous just as it is. I have been dabbling with shawls lately too but none as fine and intricate as this one - you have inspired me yet again!

[@joanparris4685]

Thank you for this lovely video. You are so sophisticated in your taste, so I would say no to the tassels, it will change the look of the shawl. IMHO

[@jenniferhackett4115]

Your Lunae shawl is stunning. Classic with clean lines, so I vote no tassels 🙂

[@karenparker9113]

Hello from Virginia! Love, love, love the Lunae. I purchased yarn for that pattern in March. Have to get through Christmas knitting then it's my New Years Project. I am so happy I stumbled upon your channel!

[@TineFederliebe]

Dear Helle, I agree with you about your thought about the sensitive person having sensitive skin. It is the same in me and my highly sensitive daughters. Warm greetings from Northern Germany!

[@danishmusings]

🙏🏻😙❤️

[@joannemoseley8994]

Fun to see all your cardigan ideas! The only one I would definitely rule out is the oversized cabled one as that will certainly use more yarn than you have (not just for the oversized nature, but the wide sleeves and the cables add to the yardage). I really like the Along Avec Anna one you showed at the end! Your Lunae shawl is beautiful. I’m a big fan of Natasja Hornby.

[@forgiven212]

Hello, Helle. Thank you for another lovely podcast. I think the Saguaro is my favorite for you. I think it would look stunning on you.❤ But the last one is beautiful as well.. decisions, decisions 😊 Much Love from Colorado, USA 🙏❤️

Hello Helle! I loved the Madeleine Jacket. Is different and modern. I was missing you, thank you!

[@mariepeterson7250]

Your shawl is so beautiful, as to whether to tassel or not, I think the tassels would look great on some people, but not on others depending on your size and personality. I am petite and I would not put them on for myself. I believe we each know what we feel most comfortable and attractive in. Thank you for this inspiring knitting discussion, all of your work is lovely.

[@maryburns5040]

Your Lunae shawl has a beautiful sophisticated look because of the classic colors you chose. I think adding tassels would change the look to a more casual one. Depending on the look you prefer, maybe adding just a tassel at each corner could be nice. Still love your podcast💕

Silver leaf is on my list. Thoroughly enjoy listening & watching you, thankyou from New Zealand

[@sandramuis7430]

Thank you Helle….love your vlogs! You asked, so….no tassels. The shawl is elegant as is. If you add the tassels it will change the look completely. I am not knitting , at the moment. Still preparing the garden for winter here in Ontario, Canada. Any pattern you choose for your sweater will be lovely, from what you have shown us….I can see why the difficulty in choosing. Belated Happy Birthday. Mine is coming in November…. 👍🥰

[@danishmusings]

Thank you, and happy birthday to you too - soon 🍂🤎

[@cindibrumpton1768]

Hi! I like the Sagoura cardigan. The simplicity of it will allow that colour combo to pop, I think. To me, the star of the show is the yarn colour and so I would focus on that. You have sold me on the Lanea Wrap. Bought the pattern and have Purl Soho Linen Quill yarn in my stash to make it. So thanks for that!

[@heatherhuntley4955]

Your shawl is stunning as is. I think the tassels may distract from the beauty of the mosaic pattern. I think the Faerie Dreams cardigan would look very stunning made with that yarn but I think you showed the most enthusiasm for the Madeleine Cardigan.

[@danishmusings]

Gosh, did I? 😅 That’s interesting 🥰

[@lisafarmer2302]

Love the color and yarn for the Boreas Anorak!!

I love the simple elegance of your scarf without the tassels, it is beautiful. And I love the silver leaf cardigan and think it would be gorgeous in your yarn, but I am totally enamoured with anything Morganite.

[@kathyellis2506]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE your podcasts. Your knits and colour choices are so beautiful. I was actually very excited today to see your podcast come up (I hadn’t seen one in awhile). Your Lunae shawl is gorgeous! I have also grey hair so it is so nice to see your colour choices on. There was a kimono that you made that keeps sticking in my mind! You also have a very calming tone to your voice. Hello from Canada🙂

[@danishmusings]

Your comment is altogether heartwarming - thank you 🙏🏻🥰❤️

[@DarleneWasielewski]

The very sweater is my vote. With that yarn…striking! No tassels. Your work and yarn choices are so lovely.

[@michellec3808]

I love the shawl. I bought the pattern a while ago but I am so overwhelmed by her patterns. Knowing your sensitivity the yarn must be soft! I just started the pink velvet and I am loving the color work! I need to try an aegyknit pattern also. I knit the magnolia cardigan and love it. Thank you for the lovely video!

[@carmenweiss6505]

Love you Helle! For your cardi conundrum, I personally think the Fairy Dreams would be exactly what you were saying you wanted: beautiful but not too busy or too romantic and the right shape. I also think it would be amazing in that colour! BUT, watching you, I got the sense that the last one (the Along Avec Anna) might be the one you might want, even though it’s quite romantic. It’s absolutely beautiful and would look so lovely on you

[@danishmusings]

Thanks so much for your lovely comment, Carmen 💞 Man, I just cannot seem to land it, but your points are right uhm - on point 😙 Hugs!

[@oritreuter5578]

I really enjoyed your podcast. I chuckle when you ask for opinions and recommendations for your next cardigan. Well, watching your completed and incomplete projects only adds to my list of things to knit. Sigh. I cannot help you!

Dear Helle , thank you for another hour spent in your lovely company. I think the mosaic shawl is stunning and I would not add the tassels. It looks stunning and sophisticated as it is. Take care Maria from Oxford.

Dear Helle, I love your Lunae Shawl. I’m currently knitting the Bluewater Cowl by Tressa Weidenaar. Thank-you! For being such an Inspiration.

The Lunae Shawl is breathtaking! I think, as you do, that the tassels would be too much. It would make the shawl “busy.” It’s lovely like it is.

Dear Helle, thanks again for your post! The shawl is so beautiful as it is. Tassels would mean adding something that would add nothing. So I would think no tassels. And as for the cardigan; I would't be too afraid to use a kind of romantic design. The neon colour you will be using is a perfect balancer for that. In fact, it would be quite interesting because of the contrast. I'm looking forward to see that project finished!

Thank you so much, and that (the balancing) is actually a good point 🥰

Dear Helle, I link to see your podcasts very much! Thank your for the wonderful inspirations! I also link the Designs from Natasja Hornby, I‘m knitting right now the Nexxus Cardigan. From your Cardigan options I like the Madeleine cardigan most and see it wonderful with your pink yarn! Greetings from Munich, Germany, Barbara

I like the clean line of the shawl without the tassels💚💚💚
