A knitting episode (2) | FO's, a WIP & knitting plans

[@nicolebeauchamp7622]

Thank you for sharing. I look forward to seeing your other knitting projects.

[@purenatures4755]

Wow…..you are creating advanced and complex knits. I am truly amazed by your talent 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I am really enjoying your knitting videos too. I have recently retired and have picked up crochet and now knitting and every new pattern and technique is a real challenge. But your videos have inspired me to keep practicing and not give up. Thank u 🙏 ❤

[@danishmusings]

Keep up the good work; you’ll get there with lots of patience 🥰💪

[@jojorey6886]

It’s.A.Sarah knitting podcaster lives in Denmark. I don’t have any friends or know anyone that knits so I understand what your saying. I do like the variety of knitting podcasts from all over the world and find them inspiring. I’m surprised by how many young people knit, I’ve always associated knitting with grandmothers because they were the only ones who knitted when I was young.

[@danishmusings]

I think she’s from the Netherlands. And yes, so many young people knit nowadays ☺️

[@AnnikaScheer]

I love watching you talk about your recent knits while swatching for a knit pillow cover. Due to the current change in seasons, I am in a cozy mood and decided to make a new pillow cover out of some leftover Lettlopi yarn. On to the next episode... :)

[@sml-wf3pb]

Please keep the knitting content coming! Your podcasting style is relaxing and so enjoyable, and your choice of patterns and fibers is truly inspirational. Thanks!

[@caterinagardiner8174]

Hello Helle, I love your two knitting episodes. We have very similar stories. I am an academic, soon to be retired (August this year). I also was a knitter some 30 years ago before taking a long hiatus because of a busy career and family life. I rediscovered knitting this time last year and I have not put down my needles since. I have watched every podcast and learned new techniques and thrown myself into the joy of this hobby. It allows me to relax, and concentrate on something challenging outside of my research and work life. Knitting has changed so much since I first started in the 1980's. I have learned so much from the online community. I live in Ireland - I have two knitting friends but they are beginners - I persuaded them to start knitting because I wanted to have a knitting circle! But I spend most of my time teaching them. We still have fun, but I would love to be part of a larger and more experienced knitting group! I really love all of your projects. You are a very accomplished knitter! I look forward to another episode soon! Thank you so much for sharing. Caterina.

[@danishmusings]

Oh, thanks so much Caterina. I love and concur with everything in your comment❣️ I so long for similar wavelength knitting buddies, too, especially when I see these other knitting podcasts with two people who inspire and lift each other up. Ah, well, we’ll have to be virtual knitting buddies ☺️ Also love that you’re over in Ireland 💚 All the best.

[@feliciameier1929]

@@danishmusings I'm a bit like you, too. Though I am entering knitting for the first time, I'm retiring from many years of teaching English as a Foreign Language in the US. Instead of putting down knitting while raising my 5 kids, I put down reading. So now I've begun trying to catch up on reading, and learning to knit, which I've always wanted to do. And after having 10 years of danish au pairs, my whole family has learned to love the culture. I am totally enjoying your podcasts.

[@sheryljohnson9540]

What a lovely, engaging, and sophisticated channel you have created! Like you, I do not have a knitting community (other than my sister who lives two hours away), and I rely on KZbin knitters to keep me company while I knit. I enjoy the new ideas for patterns, yarns, techniques, and oftentimes small peeks into their lives. You have a such a beautiful speaking voice I could listen to you all day and, combined with the background music and your gorgeous knits, your videos are exactly what I want during my knitting time. So thank you, and please keep 'em coming (pardon the grammar)!

[@danishmusings]

Thanks so much for your thoughtful comment. It is so nice to be appreciated like that, so please know that I really value it. I wish you happy knitting 💕

[@veronicahavenaar3691]

Hi ! I'm Swedish, knitting in Northern Ireland. Found sweaters with Linka Neumann, wilderness sweater, so nice as a first project. Wwll like yourself I knitted when I was younger and then family came along, having had time ....still hardly have time, but ...managed to make above mentioned sweaters (hoodie versions ) in time between Christmas and a late February holiday, so that we could bering them with us. For our 15 year old daughter and myself. Now I'm making one for our 8 year ,same type of pattern ,only children's version, and instead of wool, she requested it "not so fluffy " so it's in cotton .

[@aqua8697]

You are wearing my favourite sweater. I first saw it on one of your videos of things you had knitted. I'm a crotcheter but one day when I get back into knitting, I'll try that pattern 😍

[@susanmiller3633]

Your explanation of what your knitting means to you I think is spot on for many of us. Beautiful Podcasts!

[@vadec5909]

Hi Helle, another enjoyable video! Yes its cold in Canada, I have watched the grocery girls too. I am south of them in Calgary. Your sweaters are so beautiful and the colors and yarns you choose are lovely.

[@mdel1129]

Your work is gorgeous.... and the choice of patterns very sophisticated .. I am very happy to have discovered your videos....

[@danishmusings]

Oh, that’s very kind of you to say, thank you. I’m glad you found me, too ☺️

[@bettieshea278]

I am so enjoying your cozy podcast! Thank yoj.

[@mercykaruchia]

I like how your face glows when you talk about knitting. Your choice of words is also quite 'inviting to know more ".....it leaves one invoked to know more. Like when you described yourself as "curious about Yarn".. Keep doing this! I loved the video...

[@danishmusings]

Oh my goodness, Mercy, what a perceptive and not least lovely (and loving) comment. I appreciate it so much 🙏🏻 Thank you 💙

[@friendlypersuasions2640]

Hi! Vickie here. Finding your podcast is such a treasure. I feel like we are kindred spirits. I’m enjoying your thoughts and knits very much. 💕☕️

[@danishmusings]

So lovely to hear, thank you☺️

[@s2t6]

Thank you so much for this nice podcasts. I really enjoy watching your videos. I’m a new knitter and I get really inspired by this videos. I also enjoy the calm and relaxing atmosphere you create. Thank you very much! Many greetings from Germany🥰🧶🙋🏻‍♀️ Simone

[@dianapulido1807]

Hello Helle, I enjoyed your podcast very much. It is interesting to find out about yarns and designers from other parts of the world. I live in South Florida, U.S.A. were it is always summer. Ok we do have maybe five days that we consider freezing the rest of the world is thinking fall. Today it was cold in the morning it was 67°F/ 19.4°C now at 4:42 pm it is 76°F/ 24.4°C. The coldest we had it was around 58°F/ 14.4°C. So there are not many knitters or crocheters here. I learned to knit and crochet when I was five years old from my mom. Crochet is easier for me and the fabric it makes a little less warm because it has more holes. Make mostly shawls, blankets, and beanies. Air conditioning sometimes makes shawls necessary. I love your work I have not tried to knit a sweater yet. Maybe someday I will.

[@danishmusings]

Thank you, and I can understand that. Maybe other yarns like silk, linen or bamboo would be an idea? 💕

[@labraknit]

Than you Helle. Your sweaters are gorgeous as is your home. I am also a “recovering academic” Please keep your podcasts coming. Diane from New Jersey

[@judithtaylor6916]

Hello Helle, as knitters, we become addicted to yarn. I didn't restart knitting till retiring from nursing in South Australia. Then started learning spinning and preparing fleeces to make yarn.

[@Helen-qb4gv]

Thank you for sharing your knitting, like you I don’t have anyone here to share it with. My only knitting friend moved away to grandmother her children’s children and so we have lost contact. I rely on videos like yours so please keep them coming.

[@danishmusings]

Will do my best! 😊

Merci pour m’écrire en français - j’adore! J’suis très contente que mes pulls vous aient plus. Bisous 🌸

[@isabelwear4158]

I found you by….I don’t know, lucky chance?, but, I love your choices for colours, and yarns. Most important sweaters. I knit for my daughters, and I like the one your wearing today particularly. Well, I have a list of designers you’ve mention. I have knitted a few of Kaffee Faccet sweaters, and Alice Starmore’s, I think her daughter is managing the wools now. But modern times call for modern designs. I now have knitted 3 of Andrea Māori sweaters. And definitely going to knit the one you have from Anne weltzen. You know I send her a mail asking about yarn….she responded asap….so. Nice. Love your videos. Thank you.

[@ullamullis8544]

Found your knitting episode by coincidence - have enjoyed them very much. I am a Danish knitter, currently knitting on a brioche shawl by Xandy Peters - Blooming Brioche - as well as a Stephen West sweater, Majestic Mountain. I loved your sweaters in the previous episode and your style. Please keep making knitting podcast episodes.

[@clairemcmorss2406]

Thanx for this lovely episode, very inspiring!

[@louannehouston8496]

Heard about your knitting podcast from Jonna (Kim and Jonna) and am addicted! Your sweaters are gorgeous - you are such a beautiful podcaster! Love the soft relaxing music in the background!!! Thank you for your sharing with the world!

Hi Helle that was such a lovely watch,thank you.I love love love your knitting and colour choices,very inspiring.I am a very basic knitter in comparison.I am very much a straight needle knitter.I am now working part time after 40 years of full time Nursing, so have more time to knit and plan to gradually challenge myself but still keep it fun.Happy knitting 🧶

Thanks so much 🙏🏻💙

[@LGknits]

I just love your videos and your knits. I am catching up on past episodes. You inspired me to try cables and I just finished the Colette scarf by Sari Nordlund. I am almost finished with the Terrazzo sweater by Petite Knit and before that finished the Super Selene by Anne Ventzel. I have a Knitting for Olive short sleeve sweater up next for my knitting trip to England in May. Happy knitting and keep up the videos!

[@amandamoffitt724]

Your sweaters are absolutely beautiful! I just found your channel and your content is so relaxing to watch. I don't have any knitting friends either, but the knitting podcasts do make me feel more connected to the knitting world. Thanks for bringing a bit of joy to my day. :)

[@danishmusings]

Lovely 💗

[@vindeljay]

I'm doing a palate cleanser knit at the moment a simple cardigan, bottom up the old fashioned way with a 50% wool 50% bamboo yarn that I'm trying for the first time. Nearly didn't start it when I realised the structure, but I wanted to test the yarn and I just needed uncomplicated and predictable right now. The yarn is pleasantly soft and springy with shine and some drape. I can't wait to wash it when done to see how it feels. I hear you with the need for a knitting community that is like minded. It would be so nice to have those people closer for the mental and physical experience. I to desire this. Not so easy, recently retired and I moved to a new town just a few months ago. We will see what the future brings once I lean in. That's why I watch videos like yours, you are my community for now.

[@danishmusings]

Here’s to our little online community ❤️

[@susanklinefelter643]

It would be nice to see a clip of you knitting one of these gorgeous jumpers you’ve made. I’d love to see your style of knitting!

[@tereyes5633]

By the way I'm knitting socks while I'm at work. Do that on my breaks. And my 1st time knitting the Oslo hat. I should be done this weekend, and will start on another Oslo hat. I really like PetiteKnits and Isabelle Kraemer patterns.

[@karenberg4321]

Hello! What a lovely podcast🥰! I can relate to you, in age and being a newish knitter, too. So happy you came up in my feed! I am from central Canada, and YES, it is very cold here🥶. I am knitting a stunning cable knit sweater, from another Denmark designer. Her name is Veronika Lindberg, aka as Kutovakika, on Ravelry! The sweater is called Arctic Light Sweater. It is actually a KAL, with KZbin videos to support this KAL! I really look forward to more knitting content from you. I can relate to your style! I look forward to your next video. Thank you😘

[@danishmusings]

Oh, I know that sweater, it’s beautiful. But I believe she’s from Finland, isn’t she? Anyway, thanks so much, and happy knitting 💞

[@carolbyrne3241]

What a lovely podcast, I have just found you so will be working my way through your older podcasts. You have such a gentle voice and style. I just love the look of your new test knit. I knit and spin my own yarn, along with dyeing as well. Take care ❤

[@danishmusings]

🙏🏻❤️😘

[@judithtaylor6916]

Berocco Chia - Linen and silk might be good for your skin sensitivity. Its apparently a popular yarn.

[@mirianagiraldi890]

Hello Helle, I had to check out your channel after it was mentioed on the Knit Together with Kim and Jonna podcast, and I am so glad I did! You ooze calm and kindness, you have a beautiful voice and an interesting story! Your knitting is gorgeous - you are very accomplished and I am in awe at how many beautiful sweaters you have created in just over a year. What you said about "needing" yarn was so wise, and really resonated with me. I love knitting but I realise I get a bit anxious when I think about all the beautiful projects I see and would like to make... because really I don't need so much. I also have a very intellectual job, and knitting deifinitely feeds my creative desires, and gives me joy and focus, especially at the end of a busy day. But I do my best to make conscious choces about the materials and the designs I choose. I just finished the April cardigan by Petite Knit, and I am right now swatching for the Maeron sweater. I have knitted a few designs by Midori Hirose and they are gorgeous. Like you, I don't have knitting friends nearby, so I am very grateful to all the lovely podcasters who create great content and a sense of community. Thank you! I'll definitley watch your other knitting episodes, but I am very curious about the other videos you create, too. Warm greetings from an Italian knitter in Scotland 🤍

[@danishmusings]

Thanks for sharing many lovely things here. Have eyed the Maeron myself and her patterns in general. Good work 😽🥰

[@knitnut246connie7]

I love your podcast ….new found to me❤️🇨🇦❤️

[@nata6025]

I can totally relate to you about wanting knitting friends. I have colleagues who knit, but it's not the same thing. It makes me want to start a knitting club in my hometown, even though I'm a major introvert!

[@theislandlamb]

I’m so happy I found your knitting podcast! I recently started my own as I just wanted to talk about my knitting experience and passion for knitting. I so get what you mean about wishing you had a community or more friends to knit with. I have found that watching podcasts and having my own certainly helps. Your knits are beautiful as is your aesthetic.

[@Cadyjaxknits]

So enjoyed watching your knitting musings! I will find you on IG too. We’re all your knitting friends. ❤️ Jax

[@danishmusings]

Oh my goodness, this comment 🥰🤩 Thank you, couldn’t be happier. Much love ❤️

[@MarilynPhillips]

I love all your videos, but the ones on books and knitting are my favorites. I, too, love CadyJax and the Grocery Girls. Might I suggest the Gentle Knitter podcast. She seems to have your aesthetic and calm demeanor.

[@danishmusings]

Thank you, I have actually watched Nicole too, so that’s a good reminder 🥰

[@marcuscole4394]

My Grandmother (born 1879) introduced me to knitting when I was a boy. I think her goal was to keep small hands occupied. Knitting didn't become a thing for me, but I could appreciate everything that she did, including darning socks and showing me the different needles to do that with. I appreciate what you do and the integrity that you approach your projects with. It was an enjoyable watch for me, thank you so much.

[@danishmusings]

So sweet of you to watch and comment even though you’re not a knitter, Marcus. Thank you. What a lovely memory you have of your grandmother ❤️ (I saw an ad on TV the other day which claimed that 39% of the (Danish) population know how to knit; probably they were taught it, too, like you, but have since not practiced it ☺️)

[@kathyellis2506]

Darning socks…I think that is a lost skill. You should make a KZbin video!

[@marcuscole4394]

@@kathyellis2506 I may have to watch a youtube video to remember how to darn a sock before making one myself :-)

[@kathyellis2506]

I didn’t read back in the comments but I would call the design in the sweater you are wearing, “herringbone”. My mother would have called it that. Love your podcasts!

[@manonc1888]

Hello from Canada( cold Quebec)!! Thanks for sharing your beautiful work, I now want to knit all these amazing sweaters you did. Just added more projects to my dream list :)

[@kniddelliz7512]

I also spent most of my 20s in academia behind books. Like you are saying, I have grown "tired" of using my mind all the time, which is why I started knitting recently. I love creating things with my hands ☺️

[@danishmusings]

Makes two of us 😊

[@ludouglas1]

Hello dear Helle, it was so lovely to see and hear your podcast. I am definitely a knitter and it was so good to hear such a polished and professional video. We appreciate that so much. I love the sweaters you have been making, and in your country, you can make thick and warm garments but here in Australia, it is so tropical and warm in my state, Queensland, that we are more inclined to make 4ply garment and lighter garments. some of the large shawls just don't work here and it's rather expensive to be purchasing 7 skeins of yarn just for the experience so we are choosy about what we make. I usually create my ceramics and listen to podcasts but oh gosh, I had so much trouble hearing you - I had my laptop on the loudest it could be and the podcast sound as loud as it could be and it was hard to hear unless I was very close to the screen. on another note, I totally understand how knitting can take over :-) I think we all have the bug and it's so wonderful. Thanks again, and hope to see you again soon. Linda x

Thank you for sharing your beautiful knits. I love all those neutral sweaters, even though I gravitate to a rainbow of variety, I really want to try a lovely neutral. Your sweaters fit you so well!

[@mfnannygram]

I'm so happy the YT algo recommended your 1st knitting episode... I've since subscribed and look forward to following along on your journey, knitting and otherwise. Your comments about the tactile experience of knitting resonate. Knitting is my meditation. It can be soothing, creative, challenging, and, on occasion, frustrating... a great teacher. Color work, cables, stockinette, garter, textures, construction, fibers... there's so much to experience and explore.

[@danishmusings]

I agree completely with what you write here, and what a thoughtful way of looking at your knitting - as a teacher. Thanks so much for hanging out with me in this tiny corner of KZbin 🥰

Hello, Helle! I am an English and Humanities professor and a knitter. I really enjoy your knitting videos, and hope you will continue doing them. The infant patterns from Knitting for Olive have caught my eye, and I'll receive my first order of their merino yarn this afternoon! In my younger days I did a lot of colorwork, but now I'm really admiring the more neutral Danish palettes.

[@tereyes5633]

First episode I've seen from you and it was fun to watch (while I'm at work 😂) you gave me a chuckle with your reference to non-offensive knitting. Non monogamous knitter is a good description I think I'll use for myself.

[@danishmusings]

😍

[@lilianakisiel]

I love Your FO's 😍 and selection of colors & yarns. I started to knit two years ago and right now I want to buy both tools you have presented🙂.

[@christineberl4173]

I love ur soothing vids and u are a gorgeous knitter.

[@lisacombs4634]

What a joy your videos are! While pondering the Danish tendency toward neutrals, I’m thinking of many others who really prefer neutrals. I know many Americans (even Stephen West who lives in Amersterdam, I believe) who prefer wild and bold colors. But there are many who prefer soft and neutral colors and consider them much more sophisticated. I don’t think there is a wrong answer. Knit what makes you happy! I personally find myself sometimes going one direction, and years later I cycle in the other. Currently, I’m more into neutrals and softer colors. I loved the soft pink held with the cream mohair you showed us that will become the test knit sweater! I was intrigued by the lavender and green combination which translates to a soft blue when viewed from afar. I can’t wait to see how that looks once you get going. Your sweaters are works of art and I hope to follow you and see what you knit this year. I am working on an Andrea Mowry sweater called Throwover and has a color work yoke, knit in the round, top down. I also love her knitting videos. May you knit on with peace and joy, and I will try to do the same. Knitting cheers from Texas!

[@danishmusings]

What an absolutely lovely comment, thank you. I agree completely with what you say about colours; mine have changed over the years, so who knows what I’ll gravitate to down the line. All the best and happy knitting 💜

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings about knitting! You’ve made another new knitting friend here in the United States. I’m also very very interested in your comments about life and culture in Denmark because my son and his family live in Billund.

Excellent, and lovely to make a new friend. Billund is the home of LEGO, as you probably know all about ☺️

[@sandymuraca]

Hello again Helle - like others here, I'm a virtual knitting buddy! I do not have local knitting buddies as well. I too tried to join a knitting group back in 2019 - not the same wavelength as you described. I'm on part 2 of my knitting life after giving it up with careers and young children filling my time. I picked it back up with a passion in 2019. And now a weaver as well as of last year! As an American - I am so drawn to the quiet of Scandinavian designs and yarn! Isn't it funny how we need a rest from what is around us. I have wanted to knit your FO you're wearing (stunning by the way) - but felt intimidated. Learning that you translated the pattern to English - well, that tipped me over the edge - I must knit it now! Plus what a lovely connection. I am not one to comment - but this is my third time commenting on your videos. You have such a warm and welcoming presence - soothing music, visuals, ... all of it. I also love all the topics you share! We are all looking for ways to calm our nervous systems and find joy. I find this space nurturing and inspiring. Calming yet energizing. I hope you gain nurturing from all of us commenting - having that virtual conversation (that I am just now beginning to feel comfortable with). Best to you!

[@danishmusings]

Oh my goodness, your comment warned my heart, and I thank you 🙏🏻💙

[@Yarncakegirl_Valerie]

Hello, I so appreciate your videos. Your pink velvet sweater is fabulous. (I hadn’t looked twice at the pattern in the published colorway.) have admired all your sweaters but was thrilled that you are knitting Foxthoughts. I have finished the body and am on the arms of my green, cardigan version. Also knitting The Stannum Cardigan and Petite Knits no frills sweater. Happy knitting.

[@danishmusings]

Excellent choices - and that green cardi version is stunning as well 💚☺️

[@margaretsamplerlover]

I knitted a Foxthoughts! I made a cardigan, and sadly, I always knit a size too big. This resulted in the neckline being huge. I have to sit down sometime and see if doing a crochet chain around the neckline will help draw it in or something. Such a waste otherwise. I absolutely love your Obba sweater! And the Snow crocus -- I didn't need to be reminded of that one. lol! I love the colors you use and have ambitions to choose some yarn next time that is more your color palette. (I'm drawn to brighter colors in general.). I'm slowly catching up and watching various of your podcasts. Oh, and my daughter is planning on getting a masters in teaching of English as a foreign language. I love that you did that at some point! Thanks again.

[@danishmusings]

Oh, wow, so many things we have in common 😍 Too bad with your foxthoughts cardigan - yes, I think it would be well worth your time to try to fix it - good luck and all the best ❤️😚

[@lindas5964]

Always grateful to hear about your knitting projects❣️ I thought I had put my wool away for the year (have new projects on the needles at the moment in cotton and another in linen) but already am going crazy and ordered more wool to sneak in a little lightweight top when I need a break from wrestling with my linen. 😬 PS I love the upcoming test knit. So lovely.

I also don´t have a knitting community at the moment and your and other knitting creators´ videos are definitely filling this gap for me. I hope we both will find our knitting pals eventually.

[@danishmusings]

I’m sorry to hear you’re a solitary knitter, too; at least we have KZbin (I tried looking up your channel, but nothing showed up 🤷🏼‍♀️). Nice to know that there’s someone out there who shared your/my aesthetics. Happy knitting to you 🤍

[@Pauarredndo]

I’ve watched your two first episodes and I’m obsessed! Your yarn and color choices as well as the patterns you make are stunning and you knit so beautifully! I’ve already added 4 sweaters to my “to knit” list😂 I also wish I had more knitting friends. After watching so many Americans have this amazing knitting communities it made me want something similar, but I have not been able to find that for myself, it’s sad but podcasts like yours are now places I go to for inspiration and even “companionship“

[@danishmusings]

Here’s to virtual knitting buddies 😘❤️

You must be a fast knitter! Your first video blew my mind! So many gorgeous finished sweaters. I love Andrea Mowry. I have made a few of her patterns. I am pasting on a Putney pullover sweater by Ami Lowden for my adorable granddaughter who will turn 16 next month. She will be so surprised and happy. I will not be surprised if you find superwash easier to tolerate next to skin. Your hot pink colorwork is wonderful! And both finished projects are exquisite!!! Happy Knitting!

[@danishmusings]

Thanks so much, I’m not a fast knitter, it’s just hours and hours om the sofa really. Your projects sound lovely 💗

Hello, I am a new subscriber, from Nova Scotia Canada. I would call myself a passionate knitter too and I have been knitting for 53 years now. I like two projects on my needles too. But sometimes - like now - the projects are not varied enough to just have two. I am making a top down sweater and a cabled scarf, both of which are repetitive. I think I am going to add a colourwork cowl, just to make the knitting more varied. I find it amusing that at 60, for some odd reason this year, I need scarves, hat, mitts, and cowls.

[@danishmusings]

Haha, I know what you mean. I keep thinking I should grow up and knit myself some useful accessories ☺️

[@brendapyefinch9015]

I am enjoying your podcast so much. As I sit here knitting and listening, I feel even more inspired to keep knitting sweaters. I have learned so much from our online community. Isn’t it wonderful how close it makes us feel. Thank you from Canada

[@danishmusings]

🙏🏻❤️🤍

[@beverlycruz6]

You are an amazing knitter....I will be visiting Copenhagen the third week in March....I so happy I found you channel. I will be visiting as many yarn shops as I can using your public transportation system..... It has been a pleasure to watch you. Again thank you.

[@danishmusings]

Thank you, and how exciting! Then no doubt you’ll have made a note of Uldstedet in the center of Copenhagen and Knitting for Olive on Frederiksberg. Happy yarn shopping and have a great trip ❤️

[@annikajustinussen6881]

Your sweaters are beautiful and look great on you. Regards from the Faroe Islands.

[@danishmusings]

Thank you and much love to you in the Faroe Islands 💙🤍❤️

[@lisarekstad3433]

Thank you for your podcast. I think that you hit the nail on the head when you mentioned not needing more yarn. The creative need to knit an item that can require buying more yarn. 💜💜

[@paperandtwine]

I love the colours you have chosen for your Spots sweater, beautiful. I’m an ex teacher too. I belong to a knitting group, we have been meeting for many years. I’m on a low spend year this year so trying to use yarn in my stash. I’ve just ordered a yarn advent though, oops!

[@karenlubeck3303]

Dear Helle, I am a long time knitter but had recently done less and less. But your last knitting vlog and your Instagram posts inspired me to pull out a sweater quantity of yarn from my old stash and give it a go. And I must say I am loving it again! I am knitting the Sandy Neck Pullover by Moira Engel in a taupe colored yarn for one of my sons (whoever wants it). There are cables down the front and back and it has been so fun to watch the twists and knots develop. So thank you for giving me a friendly little push. I'm happy to be knitting again. I think your current project is stunning and will bring a smile to everyone who sees you wear it. We all need more color, especially during the winter months. And I'm glad you have a cake winder and swift. They are marvelous. AND, YES, you do need more yarn. You are making such lovely pieces of fiber art, relaxing yourself and bringing beauty to your world (and our world because you share!) Thanks for another beautiful video!

[@danishmusings]

Karen, what a thoughtful and encouraging comment, thank you. So happy to know you’ve picked up your knitting again; I checked out the sweater design on Instagram - gorgeous cables! I’ve always liked cables, too hthere will be plenty in my next project) ☺️ Lovely to know you’re following my little knitting journey here; thanks for sharing yours a little ❤️

[@karencooper1978]

Agree swatching is important if you want your sweater to fit! The sweater you are wearing is lovely and WIP with bright fuscia colourwork is beautiful! The podcasts you mentioned are my Favourites, as well. Other great podcasts you should check out in which the knitters knit mostly sweaters are 1) Knit Together with Kim and Jonna 2) Wool and Wine and 3) The Knitty Stew. Thanks for another inspiring podcast!

[@danishmusings]

Thanks for the recs - I already watch Kim and Jonna and will look out for the others ☺️

[@lilianakisiel]

Hello Helle! It was a pure pleasure to watch your video/ story actually! Very useful information and great Idea to show the final results at the end of this video😍. I feel encouraged to buy and try some of the patterns you mentioned. Keep going on the recording😘. Kind regards from Poland

[@danishmusings]

Oh thank you, and all the best to you in Poland ❤️🤍

[@lilianakisiel]

@@danishmusings 😍

[@lilianakisiel]

@@danishmusings Actually, I wanted to make this comment on the previous episode (1)😅, I was watching in the middle of the night and I start to watch the next episode straight away😀. Anyway I am going to watch every episode 😍

[@ruthmcniff4765]

It’s a pleasure to see your yarn combinations and pattern choices! I have knitted Andrea Mowry’s Velvet Mirror Cowl using the same yarns as she did in her pattern. It was so much fun to knit the color work and I love wearing the cowl! I also have the pink velvet sweater pattern, but I have not yet knit it. I think I prefer cardigans. I’m not experienced enough to experiment with turning a sweater into a cardigan. Please continue to share your knitting!

[@danishmusings]

Thank you - and I kind of agree with you re cardigans; it’s the steaking that I’m wary of (and the too many purls my wrist is weary of 😌)

[@donnakersh4941]

Hello from Texas! What a joy to find your knitting episodes! Your sweaters are so lovely. It’s nice to share a “chat” about projects and yarns. I mostly knit cardigan s..recently..The Whitmoor..and a PetitKnit pattern Anker . Both enjoyable knits as well as extremely wearable. In Texas ..near Houston winters are usually brief and temperatures not too extreme. It seems you have many friends following now..😊. Anytime you want to jump on and share your loveliness we will be waiting!

[@danishmusings]

Aw, what a sweet comment, thank you, and those two projects are so lovely, I’ve been eyeing them too. Much love 💚

[@onthecoast8]

What a lovely podcast. So relaxing. I have just found you and look forward to enjoying more content from you . :)

[@a.kaiser8965]

i do like the sweater you are wearing!

[@maryoconnell35]

Hello, sending you greetings from Ireland, your knitting creations look fabulous and the wool you choose looks so cosy, my knitting projects are not as detailed as yours but maybe someday, thank you for sharing.

[@danishmusings]

Hello to you in Ireland. Thank you, and as long as what you’re knitting gives you joy, it’s good 🥰

[@pamelawilkinson177]

Thanks so much for sharing your knitting, yarn explorations and pattern suggestions. Your skills in translation is very much needed in our community. Your color choices are inspiring.

[@danishmusings]

Thanks so much ❤️

[@pamelaj1226]

Another great video! You’re so articulate and passionate about this amazing craft. Thanks for sharing

[@kathrynsmyth7469]

Hello, just discovered your channel, and thereafter your Instagram and ravelry accounts. Your seaters are very inspiring for me. I really liked the slightly philosophical approach you take with yarn acquisition! Looking forward to more episodes soon. Best wishes from Ireland.

[@ssolnok]

Hello Helle...I am so glad I found you! I absolutely love your choice in colors and your classic designs in your knitting. I too am a new returning knitter, that started in her 20's, and who has recently ventured out from hats, hats, and more hats to gloves and now my first sweater. My simple first choice for a sweater has been the Flax Sweater by tincanknits. I am so enjoying your knitting musings, and having checked out your other content, enjoy it as well! I am a recently retired 1-3rd grade teacher, mother of 2 grown men, and grandma to 6 beautiful boys & girls. I especially liked your video about your choice to leave San Diego (I live north in the San Francisco Bay Area), and your return to the country in which you were born, what a courageous move for an 18 year old. I was born, raised, and now continue to live 20 minutes from where I was born, in Clayton, California. We are getting ready to sell our home & move to another part of the country, mostly for economic reasons, as the Bay Area is becoming so expensive we can't afford to retire here. It will take all the courage I have to make such a drastic change in my older years. However, I think I am ready to do so. Anyway, thank you for your decision to share your knitting content, none of us are just into "one thing" that defines us, we are so multifaceted beings. I also love to spin yarn, crochet, embroider, paint with watercolors, teach anything I am passionate about, and I adore horses, dogs, cats, chickens, birds, and really any of God's creation...nature being at the top of my list! I hope you are having a lovely weekend, and I can't wait to watch more of your wonderful content! You can find some of my creations on Instagram as, ssolnok (showing my love for making soap, knitting, and crochet. Off to get started on the Flax Sweater...bye for now. Sue

[@danishmusings]

Thanks for your thoughtful comment. I agree that we are multifaceted, and so often we forget and limit both ourselves and others. Best of luck to your on your move; I know that can’t be easy. But then life is full of phases, isn’t it? ❤️ All the best.

[@sharonscraft]

Haha, you so funny, you make me laugh…..but I love your knit sooooooo much.

[@danishmusings]

Oh, that’s actually nice to know ☺️😍

[@anneserdula1329]

Gorgeous sweater. I cant wait to see the new ones you plan to knit. Beautiful workmanship. 😊
