a rainy cozy knitting day at home: WIPs, baking & visiting my local yarn store | knitting vlog

[@SchneppFlute]

I enjoyed seeing your day.

[@jackikachner4595]

I cannot imagine living so close to such an amazing yarn store! What a gift!!

[@svenjaknits]

Tell me about it! I feel very lucky...

[@alecsgirl]

Aww this made me miss living in Maine. My husband and I lived in midcoast the first few years of our marriage. Such a lovely state! Thank you for sharing your rainy day with us.

[@svenjaknits]

I would miss Maine, too if I moved away. Don't mind the rain but patiently waiting for some sunny weather! Thanks for watching :)

[@taliza55]

As I was watching you drive, I thought “That looks like Maine”. Laughed when I realized you were going to Rosemary’s. My LYS too! I think I also have that bear pattern! Happy Spring! Or should I say Pollen Season!?

[@svenjaknits]

Hi neighbor! Hope you're enjoying this beautiful spring weather! Maybe we will cross paths at Rosemary's someday :)

[@janec9038]

Can’t wait to see your little bear you are knitting. Wow, yes you are so lucky to have such a beautiful yarn shop so close to you. I have none, zip, zero local yarn shops. I so wish. Loved watching your vlog! 🧶❣️

[@svenjaknits]

I feel very fortunate... thanks for watching!

Hello I am a senior from Toronto. So happy to find your channel I enjoying knitting and baking as well. Your channel is so relaxing when watching it. Have a gear say.🥰

[@svenjaknits]

Hi and welcome! Thanks for watching :)

[@StudioNora]

Thanks for the great and relaxing company while I’m knitting away while being naptrapped by my baby 😂🎉

[@svenjaknits]

Haha, 'naptrapped'! Although having your knitting with you doesn't sound too bad...

[@catherinethomes2910]

My sister lives right down the street from Rosemary’s! The owner and her husband are so sweet! ❤Ive seen the bear you’re knitting….my 2 1/2 year old niece would love one….she melts my heart, how do I say no?! I can’t! 😂

[@svenjaknits]

Yes they are so sweet! The bear pattern is pretty darn cute...it's been quick to knit up so far!

[@Favorites939]

This was a lovely video! I’ll have to check out this store next time I’m in ME.

[@svenjaknits]

Thank you so much!

[@patiharville8210]

Lovely vlog. ❤

[@svenjaknits]

Thank you kindly!

[@milo_2073]

Oh wow…I may need to take a little drive to check out Rosemary’s, but it looks dangerous! 😆

[@svenjaknits]

Dangerous is a great way to put it!!

[@willowshomecrafts8903]

Thank you for sharing! I went to check out your slip over bundle, and it brought me to your hats 😉

[@svenjaknits]

😅 fixed! Thanks for catching that!

[@Enig_Mata]

Glad I saw this. Trying to finish up the Cumulus Tee that had been lingering without sleeves for many months. I completed the i-cord on the body, but don't want it on the sleeves or neckline as it's curling upwards - probably due to the thicker yarn I used. I see the moon set had two finishes, so I'm going to complete the sleeves and neckline using 1x1 ribbing. Unsure about re-doing the i-cord on the body because the yarn used is Drops Air and kid silk and it's so sticky.

[@svenjaknits]

If I were to knit this again I would probably do the ribbing instead of an icord! Although blocking helped a lot...

[@susanjackson1616]

Excellent podcast , your so lucky to have such a well stocked yarn store close by ❤

[@svenjaknits]

I do consider myself very lucky!! Thanks for watching!

[@nadinestapler3881]

I wanted to share with you, that I use to live in Portland Maine when I was a girl. I thought it was a beautiful place to live. We lived on Ratliff Street. I like your podcast a lot. Thank you

[@svenjaknits]

Yes I live right outside of Portland!

[@nickdurand-sg6fs]

Always love your videos! I need to get some of those blocking pins!

[@svenjaknits]

Yes you need some!! Life changer...

[@azknitter]

I’m so happy to have found your channel and love this episode. What a wonderful yarn store to be so close to you and your finished tee is beautiful! I think I need to cast that one on soon. Cute bear project too 😊

[@svenjaknits]

Aw so happy you are here! Thanks for watching!

[@KatieMovchan]

Aw, I'm so glad I found your channel. I Just started knitting this year and learned so much from your videos. I recently got my first order of Knitting for Olive for the Moon Tee (gonna be my first knitted garment) and so Happy you made a video about it. Thank you

[@svenjaknits]

That makes me smile! Thanks for watching :)

[@carmeslynn]

I love how your sweater turned out. I was curious what you thought about your Juniper Moon Farms wool yarn. I am using some Juniper Moon Farms Moonshine yarn for a new sweater right now and it ranks right up there with some of the best, softest yarn I've knit with- pretty amazing stuff! I will definitely will purchase their brand again but trying to use from my stash!!!! Enjoyed your KZbin this morning. It's raining here too so this will be a knitting day for sure! cheers, Carrie from the San Francisco Bay Area ☺🌹☕🌦🧶

[@svenjaknits]

Hi Carrie! Thanks for watching! I do love Juniper Moon Farms yarn - I think it's excellent quality and value and it knits up beautifully!

[@nadinestapler3881]

I believe you said your from there.

[@annmorris6732]

I’m so enjoying this podcast! I went to U of Southern Maine, when it was still called UMPG and that was about 100 years ago! 😂 In a few weeks, I’ll actually be visiting a brother who lives in Falmouth Foreside and a best friend who lives in Portland. Well, Hubby is a ‘keeper’…those flowers are stunning!!! I’ve already put in an order at Rosemary’s….paused the podcast!!😂😂 Definitely on my radar during my visit there!! You are such a ray a sunshine, zen, and all things are possible person. Thank You❤ ???name of the clear containers with the blue handles you are using to store yarn?? Thanks😊

[@svenjaknits]

This comment made my day. Thank you so much! Have a great time visiting! I will find the link for the containers... I keep getting questions about them! I'll add them into my video description...

[@holliegiampietro7030]

[@donnapaskvan8927]

That is a huge yarn store!

[@svenjaknits]

Indeed it is! One of Maine's largest :)

Hello from Sunny San Diego,

[@svenjaknits]

Hello from Maine!

[@masz10676]

How long have u been knitting. I'm beg knitter. I've done a scarf for my hubby. He wants socks. Soooo scary. There will b a lot of frogging and anger mgmt in my immediate future. So ur site will calm me. I hope. ☺️

[@svenjaknits]

I've been knitting for over 20 years, not consistently but I learned as a child. Socks are not that hard! If you haven't chosen a pattern yet, I recommend Summer Lee's I'm So Basic Sock pattern - there are lots of pictures and video tutorials to go along with the pattern!

[@masz10676]

@@svenjaknits Thanks for info. Need pattern with tutorial AV.
