Copenhagen Yarn Store Vlog: Visiting Knitting For Olive (Part 1)

[@kathyffarney-keck8593]

I love your passion for knitting. Could you do a tutorial on how you protect your hands and arms from repetitive motion injury?

[@isobelevans8881]

Would love any tips on this also! I have to limit myself on how many hours I can knit in a row or my wrists will pay the price later

[@dabristudio]

I also experience pain from knitting, what helps me is stretching my wrists before and during knitting, taking lots of breaks, and occasionally icing them too.

[@MarinSofin]

Compression gloves + hand exercises

[@corrinethomas6791]

Love your enthusiasm and that you always put out tutorials with your patterns. It helps so much especially being a new knitter. Thank you❤

[@heatherruiz9490]

So much fun! An unexpected yarn crawl adventure.

[@Kutovakika]

Yes it truly was 😍🥰

[@MABrody]

I don’t know if anyone else mentioned this, but alpaca and yarn from all of the camelids is generally less prickly than wool or mohair, because the scales on the fibers are much less pronounced. Many people who cannot wear wool can wear alpaca and camel, even llama which is the coarsest one. I just found your channel through the New York Times and am looking forward to many more hours of watching!

[@neurolotte2406]

I love yarn shopping when travelling! What I create will remind me forever of the trip the yarn was purchased on. Best souvenir ever 😊 Veeery excited for part 2, I have a feeling about your announcement and your new line of knitting projects 🎉❤

[@cynthiawhite333]

Happy 1st Anniversary! 🎉❤I enjoyed your Copenhagen yarn store excursion 😊 I think I hear the pitter patter of tiny feet coming soon👶🦶🏻🦶🏻🤞🏼🙏

[@piajensen3223]

I hope for her she seems extra happy here. Was just visiting my sister in Copenhagen .

[@ladyindigo9835]

Fantastic thanks so much for taking us on your trip!

[@kaylah4843]

I hope part 2 involves an announcement that you guys have been waiting for!! I'm excited for it either way, your vlogs are my favorite.

[@delindafree8731]

I love the fun sparkly energy of your videos. This one made me remember the one time when they began banning knitting needles at US customs, they were going to make me surrender my knitting to get on the next flight, so I made the customs officers wait while I knitted the next row of my project onto a pencil! They were so shocked they didn't even say anything, and just stood there watching while I knit, then I handed them my needles. Ha!

[@helendavenport7298]

How can it be one year I still watch your wedding day. It was so positive and uplifting.

[@patriciadamario]

❤ loved your wedding Now I see your having a baby soon... Time flies

[@green-eyed_girl88]

You are such a light! Thanks for bringing us along and arraigning the fireworks for us. 😉

[@anneauten2307]

How nice of Copenhagen to have fireworks for your anniversary! 🥳Thanks for the wonderful tours and inviting us along.❤

[@Woeschhuesli]

We were sailing in Denmark this summer and truly, even the smallest villages we stopped at had beautiful yarn stores 😍❤🇩🇰

[@moniquem8093]

Thank you for showing the knitting for Olive store, that I always order from, so cool to see this beautiful store

[@ilsesantodonato1334]

You made me homesick in a nice way. I was born in Copenhagen 80 years ago. Love watching your videos ♥️🇩🇰

[@baeticat]

These shops looked lovely! I want to visit Copenhagen even more now

[@teacup6175]

Congratulations on your anniversary and thank you for sharing your visit to Copenhagen. You are so positive and enthusiastic, it is very uplifting. Looking forward to part 2. 😊

[@HannahBMann]

I appreciate your quest to find the least itchy yarns--it's the worst to wear a beautiful sweater that feels horrible. Such a fun vlog!! See ya in part 2.

[@AmoCultumAlo]

So nice of them to put on a fireworks show for your anniversary! :) What a fun jaunt through these yarn shops as well. I just recently visited a yarn shop and saw the Knitting for Olive yarn in person for the first time. The dusty artichoke colour is sooooo nice! Feel in love with it, but I didn't have any plans in mind so left it. Maybe someday I'll get some of it, though! Love the Cinema sweater. So classic and comfy looking, and I'm super excited to have the tutorial for the cardigan. I loved it when you made it, and it's gotten me in the mood to try knitting a cardigan, which will be very new for me! I'm always very drawn to greens, too, so the new version of the cardigan is stunning! Oh, and definitely looking forward to the next video with the other shops and your big holiday project!

[@KnittingJoy]

Happy anniversary 🎉💕 I love that your travels are inspired by visiting different yarn shops! 🧶🧶🧶

[@tntidefan1]

CONGRATULATIONS on your anniversary! I live in the US. The ONLY problem I've had flying with knitting needles was at the Athens airport. Once they called the supervisor over and he confirmed they were 'just knitting needles', I was allowed to take them on the plane.

[@ЮлияМихаилич]

Kika, these the real treasures you bought. It will be very interesting to see this yarn in you products. I wish you success!

[@Lorrissyoutube]

All those yarn shops look lovely, really makes me want to go to Copenhagen. Also, that black and white dress you were wearing on the first day is gorgeous!

[@knitsandpurls-143]

Thanks for taking us on your trip to yarn shops. I saw you eyeing a baby sweater at the Knitting for Olive shop. I am a new grandma and would love to see a baby pattern or patterns from you!!

[@adele012in0z]

I have a feeling there is going to be a little baby announcement in Part 2. So excited if it is. Love the Podcast watched it since the beginning ❤❤

[@freddyanglerfishy2050]

Thats what I was thinking!!!❤

[@OsseDwarf]

Oh, yeah. On 4:48

[@ivettabauman]

definetly:) soo nice:)

[@victoriagriffiths6205]

Yes I thought this too ❤️😊

[@Woeschhuesli]

Looks like she wasn‘t drinking bubbly at their anniversary 😉

[@Familyrecipeswithjack]

Can’t wait for the Cinema pattern and tutorial!!

[@smoothie3107]

These green shades are so gorgeous! Oh my god! Love them. I can highly recommend the Isager Silk Mohair, I find it is softer than Knitting for Olive although I am not sensitive to itchyness.

[@kathysausen6493]

Gosh I can’t believe it’s almost a year since your wedding!! I remember you getting ready for it it was fun!!! Happy Anniversary!!!👏👏💕💕

[@gailperrone7412]

The timing of this video is perfect. My husband and I were just in Copenhagen, but unable to visit any yarn stores. After watching this video it feels like I never missed a thing and am right back in Denmark! Thanks for always sharing your infectious enthusiasm for knitting.

[@nancys5996]

Great video. They must have set off the fireworks in celebration of your anniversary. Love seeing the various yarn shops. Thank you.

[@nikkiklaessen6716]

Thanks for another nice video! It was really good waking up and knitting with kika on this gloomy sunday morning in the Netherlands 😊

[@TwoSeniors]

Love your videos, so inspiring. I showed my husband and said, “A girl after my own heart, she knits everywhere she goes, except for her anniversary dinner.” …lol… I knit almost everywhere I go and by showing your video to my husband, he can now realize there are a bunch of us who do this. He will be much more accommodating when I want to hit a yarn shop or knit while we are camping, or on other vacation. Thanks much!

[@hebulanebula]

❤lovely Yarn Vlog ! Anxious to see all your upcoming finished objects . How lucky to have fireworks from such a cozy spot. I love your energy and spirit ! Very refreshing 🧶😁💫

[@annapomorski5431]

You and your husband are such a beautiful couple. .BTW I love Your yarn choice very dreamy colours and they all look so soft. Cant wait to see what you'll be making with all that. I am a crocheter but I do knit a bit too. I don't consider myself an advanced knitter but I can follow a pattern if it's not too complicated. Thanks for sharing your trip experience. Hugs and kisses from Malta.

[@Kathy-t1g]

Glad to see you again -no congratulations on the book too- such a beautiful family

[@Annacomehome]

Brun Strik is my fav yarn shop in Copenhagen so far

[@leylamoossavi]

We love a supportive yarn hubby

[@nicole3xblessed]

So funny at the beginning you say come on let’s go makes me laugh every time 😂

[@kt55466]

Hi Kika. This video makes me want to visit Copenhagen. Can't wait for part 2 😊

[@yifanlai6415]

Love the last blue sweater you ware in this Video. ❤

[@Diane18]

Hi Kika, Did you knit the dress you are wearing? The striped black and white? Very very pretty!!! Looks comfy!❤

[@lisadowney3548]

Hi Kika, It's so funny: those colors (rose, fennel) are not colors that suit me so I never buy them, but the way you show them, pairing a mohair and a merino, they look so beautiful!!! Also: my mother was Finnish & Estonian, so I love watching you (and hearing Juki speaking Finnish!). And your smile just makes me so happy. Lots of love from Boston.

[@AnikSales]

My dream is to visit Knitting for Olive. I love their yarn. Thank you for sharing your visit with us.

[@MaryIannacone]

You are an amazing designer and knitter! I loved your wedding dress! The design was stunning!!

[@Mindfulnessification]

So beautiful dear Kika! I love absolutely everything you do! So happy for you! I am going to part 2 now! ♥️🐑♥️🐑♥️

[@ramyavanmaele9643]

Thank you so much bringing us with you enjoy the shopping

[@leighcraig1091]

Thank u so much for the video. Love KFO! Great yarn. It’s fun to see what u bought and looking at the colors in natural light. 🥰

[@lmrk5705]

Loved this video so much! I have a sneaking suspicion about your surprise in episode 2 & I can’t wait 👏👏👏👏👏

[@annesmith3352]

Thank you enjoyed your podcast finding by chance! I can understand how excited you are about yarn! It was when you mentioned Knitting 🧶 for Olive I was excited as I found it on Facebook so it was good to see in store! I loved the first store it was amazing all the shades and type of yarn and sample knits were amazing ! Thank you so much ! Xx 😘

[@jujumcnubbin]

i LOVE the cinema sweater! i can’t wait for that to be released, it looks sooo comfy!

[@gaby8567]

I was in Copenhagen just three weeks ago! Unfortunately I only got to go to one yarn store because my husband and children are not so interested in knitting 😂. The store was Sommerfuglen. And as you say, I was really glad I had some pre-chosen knitting patterns on my phone so I wasn’t getting overwhelmed with all the yarn choices. It’s definitely on my list to return to Copenhagen sometime. I loved the city.

[@faydowner4718]

Eeeeek I am excited for part 2......I think I may have guessed already!! 😊

[@chrisparker4614]

i have been knitting for over 50yrs and i just love your passion for a young knitter...(no sarcasm intended)❤

[@damazdavalabagazh]

Dear, you are so sunny! Wish you a lot of happiness. ☘️

[@camilledavis7088]

I visited Copenhagen for business more than 10 years ago and loved it! Unfortunately, this was well before I was a knitter. Thanks so much for the inspiring footage. I plan to get back there soon.

[@isabelwear4158]

First, congrats. Babies are super small , although they grow fast….the wool it’s beautiful…so no worries.

[@claudiacarolina3683]

Hello, happy anniversary and thank you!!!

[@guylainericard9670]

Hi! You make me dream to visit Copenhague in the future!!! I love your choices of yarns and colours! Can't wait to watch part 2 video! Bye!

[@bronaobrien1661]

Thank you for the wonderful travel vlog and the knitting stores and yarns are just fantastic. I need to book another trip to Copenhagen! Looking forward to Part 2.

[@TrudySchwartzBurrill]

Happy Anniversary. It seems like it came around so fast. I loved your wedding video. Love all your videos actually. Thank you so much. Your creativity is very special.

[@margaretroberts6258]

Such a fun and energetic vlog! I just love your energy and enthusiasm! At the end of the video when you are showing your yarns up close, what is that beautiful plant in the background!

[@elaineenstone6834]

Lovely to see the pictures of Copenhagen and the yarn shops there. Your choice of colour is so calming. 🇬🇧

[@goswamigeeta]

Loved your shopping passion. ❤

[@Lisamakes]

What a dream yarn shopping trip. ❤

[@621bmt]

The dusty artichoke color is absolutely beautiful 😍😍

[@gillshand5820]

Thank you for doing this. Dusty artichoke looks perfect.

[@nas5947]

Discovering your podcast....so exciting! thank you for sharing your "Yarn travel"!😁

[@mostlyknitting]

Thanks for sharing. Definitely want to visit Copenhagen. It looks like a beautiful city. How sweet that they put on fireworks for you and Juki for your first anniversary. ;)

[@jutta4286]

Happy 1st anniversary 🎉🎉🎉❤...and thank you for sharing this wonderful yarn -trip to Copenhagen. Looking very much forward to part two and all of the future projects you will be knitting up with your lovely selection

[@christelandersson1019]

Happy anniversary! I live in south of Sweden so must jump on the train to Copenhagen after this :) . Give Juki a big hug for beeing sooooo patiient, ha ha, we could all need one of him. Love your inspiring videos.

[@SharonCullenArt]

Wow they sure ou;led out all the stops for your anniversary! Personal fireworks display?😂😂❤ Happy anniversary. And wow that yarn buy! Like clouds of wonderfullness! 😊

[@ladymarquette]

Your videos give me such joy 🥹 Thank you for blessing me this morning over here in the USA!

[@doralevitt2879]

Greetings from NYC!! I just came across your video for the first time and I'm so glad I watched it, thank you for the tour and the beautiful yarn stores! My daughter was in Finland almost 20 years ago and she absolutely loved it, I would love to visit there one day, thank you again and I'm definitely going to subscribe! 🤩🤗🗽💖🧶💐

[@jfro3685]

I’ve been eyeing the yarn you purchased at Knitting for Olive.

[@sharynhines4769]

I’ve just discovered you, this is my first video and now I will go an watch some of your older videos. I live in Australia and just bought my first Knitting for Olive yarn, I got 6 skeins of the silk in the colour copper and really looking forward to making something beautiful.

[@wgima3857]

You are so sunny and cheerful, love watching your videos. Congratulations & Happy Anniversary! (BTW, loved the scene of you skipping in the hallway, on the way to the yarn stores.) ❤

[@isarose3136]

How fun! Thank you for sharing your trip with us! I totally understand why you bought so much yarn at KFO. I would too. I love their colors! But yeah I can see from the video (and I'd noticed that in their photos that their light is oddly yellow and dim in that store...

[@wonderwhen6084]

As someone else said, you purchased (muted) colors I would never -- probably because I'm not as young, beautiful and VIVA as you are! Congrats on your 1st anniversary. (BTW, I have a massive crush on your gorgeous husband who seems to be very happy with you.😉) Wishing you blessings, love and longevity in your marriage 🥂

[@stephaniel624]

Wow! Can't wait to see part 2 yeah!

[@dabristudio]

oooh I loved this, really been thinking to plan a trip to Copenhagen now that I knit as I missed so many lovely yarn shops there! It's nice to see it from your perspective! And I love the styling of your arctic light sweater, really want to knit one in that lovely blue shade!

[@kayebakos9991]

Happy Anniversary!! 🎉🥂🍾 And thank you for your videos!! Your enthusiasm helps keep my knitting mojo going!! 😁

[@aroundtheworldfibers]

Happy Anniversary to you both! It's amazing how fast time has gone by. I love your choice of colors, especially the Avocado and darker bluish color. Light colors don't suit me - I wish they did, they are really pretty. I came across Knitting for Olive yarns by surprise this past weekend. I was actually surprised by their Merino. To be honest, I did not find the lighter weigh Merino as soft as I thought it would be. The heavy merino was quite nice, but like you, I found each color varied in softness.

[@unboxedana9964]

I’m going to Copenhagen in a few weeks and this shop is on the itinerary!!

[@miny7789]

I love your videos and your patterns, they make me smile. And I love Copenhagen, too. My Husband and I have been there two weeks ago - also for our wedding anniversary! It was awesome, they city has so many positive vibes. Maybe we meet there someday - at Knitting for Olive or so 😂

[@marlenabenson]

So I was just checking out all the yarns from Knitting for Olive this morning, then I saw your video and thought it must be a sign that I need to get me some of their yarn. I feel like every single color they have is so beautiful, and it just seems like such a good yarn. I was surprised to see that they aren't using the proper lighting in their store, seems like a misstep and something that's easily fixed. I'm so excited to travel to Europe and hit up some of the famous yarn shops!

[@paulinelevesque]

You are so joyfull, how inspiring!

[@rhondacutler6712]

Just found you. I so enjoyed your enthusiasm. I'm already a big fan!

[@MikiCrespo]

Thanks so much for the tour. I really enjoy your enthusiasm. It's so contagious I just Love it.💙

[@alexandrawilliams7529]

Love watching your vlogs! I'm not a good knitter, but always get inspired by you. Must try harder! 😘

[@anitaprashar8657]

Happy Anniversary ❤ the special fireworks 💥

[@Alaskaventureswithbrodie]

Always a joy to watch your enthusiasm! ❤

[@Liz.Green789]

I love yarn shops! Thank you for taking us to shops I will not get to visit because they are so very far away. These were lovely. I look forward to the next ones. Such beautiful yarn. And Happy Anniversary.

[@michele1491]

You have a wonderful eye for color palettes.

[@carolinmetz3002]

I absolutely loooove all of your videos. It's always a great joy when I get a notification that you uploaded a new one! Thanks so much, you are so inspiring! Also, now I want to return to Kopenhagen :-) Greetings from Munich, Germany

[@joieslifee]

Kika thank you so much for what you do! you inspired me to try knitting and now it's my favorite hobby. I am still a beginner/intermediate knitter but I will for sure buy your cinema sweater pattern and use the tutorials since they make knitting less intimidating for me. 🤍

[@sarialex2016]

Beautiful yarns, wonderfully Video🥳

[@zeynept7731]

Love your videos, this vlog might seem ordinary to many people but to me it felt very inspiring. I mean starting from the airport lounge atmosphere to Copenhagen streets, beautiful colours surrounding you in every scene. And there is no need to mention your aesthetic :) Aside from the content, visuals are so satisfying. And there is yarn shops.. Oh I wish I can have a trip to Denmark just like this! One can only dream.. Sending lots of love, thank you for your lovely videos 💝

[@The-Vintage-Needlecrafter]

Thank you for taking us along on your trip. That is very nice yarn and I like the colors 😊

[@rachelraye285]

Your videos truly bring so much joy in this world of yarn and knitting! Your channel is the only one I have watched the videos multiple times. Also, knitting for olive has to sponsor a video!!! I have order many skeins because of your channel! Happy anniversary to your and Yuki!!

[@KateDanford]

Love going shopping with you❤
