Daily Life in the Spring of Finland

[@alipaskun5627]

Your knitted pieces are so beautiful and unlike anything I can find in a store where I live. I'd gladly pay whatever you think fair and profitable to have such a lovely and unique product. I believe the love and care that goes into creating a handmade item is worth the extra cost compared to a mass produced item.

[@tanyajstolp]

I agree

[@sdmsdm7926]

It's extremely heartwarming to see that even though your dog is old and can no longer do what she used to, you still consider her feelings and include her in your outings as a family should. They know when they're loved, and he/she? is a very lucky dog!

[@kenallison3108]

You could do videos just sitting and talking while you knit and people would watch! Your personality is adorable, every frame is like an award winning photo, and many like myself LOVE winter! I thought as you were weaving ends on socks you made that you should sell them AND make video tutorials. The mittens you knit are incredible! I'm so jealous and would LOVE natural wool! I only crochet but would have loved to learn knitting in younger years. The mittens look a bit larger than what we have and was wondering if there is an explanation about this. Your videos are soothing. If you didn't even speak and just knitted, I'd watch! SO FUN! 🥰

[@jenniferharris-ux5vx]

I agree with this wholeheartedly! Also, I crocheted before I learned to knit. Continental knitting will come easy for you.

[@kenallison3108]

@@jenniferharris-ux5vx Continental knitting...what is THIS? I'm gonna Google it immediately! 😀

[@jennypickering4012]

Definitely...tutorials and patterns on how to knit what you make. X

[@jamesrice6096]

It is so wonderful to watch nice people.

[@sandrathomson7288]

I am so glad I have found this channel. Such a calm light energy.

[@morrigansmaiden]

I have been a fan of your videos for some time, but I have never commented until now: as a fellow artist, I would say that your knitting talent is supreme, and I know very few people who knit patterned work anymore. You could absolutely sell them at a high price and I believe there are people who would buy them with no hesitation. In any case, I love everything you are doing! Thank you for sharing your life with us!

[@savsellers]

People would buy your hand-knitted items solely because you have made them. People will pay a lot of money for hand-knitted items because they know the quality of the craftsmanship in each piece is far greater than any mass produced item. It never hurts to try if you want to! I believe in you!

[@tinengjonelas7461]

I love the way you talk... Very soft spoken... Love, from the Philippines ♥️🇵🇭

[@lynnemanning9553]

SANNA, I LOVE YOUR STYLE AND YOUR WORDS 💟....I liked your philosophy on selling your mittens, yes there are so much stuff in this world, and too much of the factory produced, so very thoughtful and magnanimous of you to give away your beautiful mittens, and they are so artistically and lovely made by you with so much love and precision. Win-Win feeding the sheep the leftover bread!! And they are so appreciative....☮

[@jacquelinemoss3709]

Oh Sanna, wonderful,yet again. Love your knitting and baking. Well everything really!!

[@minasorosh8471]

My good friend , you are so competent and capable , renovating your house , knitting beautiful mitten, baking bread ,and above all of it , you are energetic.

Ciao Sanna,i tuoi video sono meravigliosi!! Sono contenta che lì da te sia tornata la luce per più ore al giorno e che anche il sole abbia iniziato a scaldare con i suoi raggi. I tuoi lavori a maglia sono delle vere opere d’arte. Non si possono vendere perché non hanno prezzo. Al massimo si possono regalare. Che belli quei filati un po’ rustici. Bellissimi!! Un saluto a te e a Esa. Ciao da Monza Italia 🇮🇹 ❤❤

[@jfm148]

Greetings from Guatemala...!! I used to visit the Finnish Embassy here back in the 90s. Just love Finnish landscapes and culture. Beautiful videos. Thank you.

[@donnakirkpatrick8599]

I am 79 years old and I live on a farm in Washington State in the US. It's growing winter when its dark and wet . And sometimes we have snow and at othertimes, snow. I usually remain housebound. But watching you with your colder conditions I have gotten courage to go out and spend more time outside. As you say there is no bad weather only bad clothing I love that saying.! Thank you so much!😊

[@JamMan6string]

Our industrial kitchen bread has all those unpronounceable ingredients such as monoglycerides, calcium propionate, sodium stearoyl, lactylate, soy lecithin. I see Finnish bread also has unpronounceable ingredients like leipäjauho, aktiivinen kuivahiiva, lämmin vesi, sokeri, suola, rypsiöljy. Then I realize that is just the Finnish language!!! OK I borrowed that joke. 😁 My wife has been making homemade cookies for 4 years now. I would love it if she would make bread. 🥰 We do support a local bakery though. Happy Spring to you guys!

[@european5431]

Vilken fin video finaste sanna.. snart är våren här ..och vilka fina påskliljor i den söta korgen 😊 snart plockar vi blommor från ängarna igen .. du har en snäll kille, och en sån söt hund. Du är duktig på att sticka vantar .jättefina vantar .. Njut av ditt liv. ❤

[@mamamia_222]

I guess now I know why I have such an affinity to knitting, baking, music, art...it must be my Nordic blood. My grandfather was Norwegian, and I have German, French Canadian blood...cold places. I was knitting away at a new pair of socks while watching this episode, and baked bread today too. :)

[@turpasauna]

Haha yes, we love to do things with our own hands, don't we? Finns rarely buy services of any kind.

[@222mmax]

THE MITTENS ARE BEAUTIFUL!

[@garyweybright3227]

My husband also makes sourdough bread! We’ve had our starter for about three years now! We do not buy store bread any longer. We had an old barbecue, and it would no longer work so we began putting wood in it, our cast iron pan and voila! The most beautiful home made bread! Thank you for sharing your life with us! I live in the USA, where it’s easy to buy bread, I think us over here learn a few things from a life of more simplicity and greater appreciation of the simpler things, nature and taking time to enjoy the outdoors!

[@sarahhassler4398]

I am a retired music teacher living in Portugal. I am a knitter--I LOVE to knit and think I’m about ready to try patterns with colors. I love love love your socks---I knit socks, sweaters and shawIs. I totally understand why you would not knit for profit--there is so much love put into each stitch, one cannot put a value on that. I would love for you to do a video on the Nordic snowflake pattern and two color knitting---or even just about knitting. If you could share, or put on Ravelry your sock pattern, I would definitely l like to try it. Our home here was built in 1910 and has no heat or air conditioning (we do use a portable gas unit)--so what we call cold here, would be warm for you!! Portuguese wools are so lovely and I choose to use them (from Retrosario Rosa Pomar). I like that Rosa is working with 16 different sheep farmers here in Portugal to make sure the wools of this country stay relevant. She also uses different natural dyes and the colors and rich a lovely. Thank you for your lovely music and videos!

[@TheFlyingstop]

The smells in your house must be amazing with all the baking you do and the wood fire keeping you guys warm. Thank you for sharing.❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤💟

[@GaryHarju]

Your videos are so pleasant! I live on the west coast of the United States, but all of my ancestors are all Finnish, so there are little things in your videos that remind me of my parents and grandparents from years ago. You speak English extremely well for a second language.. my grandmother came to the US from Finland over 100 years ago on the Titanic (She was one of the survivors) and never did learn English. Anyway, great job and thanks for posting!

[@YusufMontanez1987]

Hi I loved your story.❤❤❤😊

[@maries3000]

Your films are such a joy to watch. I love the mittens you made for your sister’s family and the brush gave an almost felted effect. Here in Canada, most of our snow is slowly melting, but spring has yet to arrive. Love from Prince Edward Island. ❤

[@DianeS.A.]

I enjoyed seeing you finish your knitted projects. They are just gorgeous. I spin, knit, and know what love you put into these beautiful pieces. You do such a good job with your breadmaking as well. All of these activities are my very favorite things to do. It brings much happiness to see this great video. Thanks and thanks again!

Keeping the house warm;, knitting and baking may seem like a simple way of life, but under these circumstances it is certainly a life saver! In answer to your question. Here in the Netherlands, March has changeable weather. Sun ☀️ rain 🌧; warm 🥵 cold. 🥶 On March 15 I already had a nest of young blackbirds 🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛ in the garden and that is extremely early! 🤔 To Esa: happy birthday! 🎂

[@inthekitchenwithgrandmaC-jp8zu]

OH MY GOODNESS,, Those mittens are so beautiful and precious!!!

[@sandrabehrle-liebsher4805]

Here in the states we are on with spring, off with spring especially here in N. Wisconsin. I so long for the return of things in green, mentally I am planning and getting antsy but excited about my garden, it's time. The two of you are so darling and sweet together, while enjoying some Fika both your faces flushed with the table wearing sweet smiles, enjoying one anothers company. I adore all of your woolens Sanna, you have a gift. I support your craft with love, as I do my fellow craftsman here. I love wool!! Stay cozy and warm, oh you reminded me of myself, stepping barefoot out the door and having a sit on the snow bank with spring in a basket next to you ❤. I do go barefoot a lot in winter, if it is to feed the birds, and my deer friends 😊, take care you four 😊!!

[@amiracanela8450]

Dear Saana Vara you are my inspiration... I love the sweaters and mitons you make. I love the way you beautifully live life, in such a simple and lovely way. It is a poem... I met once the great English actress, Emma Thompson, in Chile. I was working at the airport for a U.S. Airline, and I saw her from a certain distance. So, I rushed to my office for a pen and paper. She nicely and simply gave me her autograph! Thanks for sharing with us your amazing life. Rose froM Chile.

[@ArtwithOlga]

The mittens you made are all so beautiful! I loved the sweaters you showed in the other video as well. And the wool you got - perfect!😍The bread looks yummy too! I can almost smell it here.

Oh such a beautiful knitting ! I don t knit anymore because my country is hot enough and I have only seen two centimeters of snow this year 😅but I love it.

Sanna, I love your beautiful video's so much. They are a delight. I also enjoy seeing all your knitting and baking products. I live in a subtropical climate in South Africa and we also don't have spring or autumn. It is just summer or winter. The other two seasons are so short that you don't even notice it most of the time. So when it is so hot here, I enjoy watching your snowy video's.😄
