Wow! Love your dress! Sophia has inherited your lovely hair! Thank you for finally telling us your new pup’s name! I like it!

[@slowstitches]

I LOVE Dogmas! And the clip of Laima and Jackie sharing the cushion is so precious.

[@mummyevans2]

I have to say how emotional I felt seeing how settled Laima is already and also seeing Jackie getting fuss beside her with no worries. Just beautiful 😍

[@marinkelmoon2866]

Welcome Laima to the good life, all your sad days are over! Her sweet face is too precious ❤ Please tell the myth of her name 🙏🏻

[@uterick-seleck2541]

Good to see she is calming down. Hopefully it will getting better and better. She ‘s really a cute. And wow, tea monster is offering a swap😂.

[@ApplesandPeanutButter]

It makes my heart melt every time Laima sighs with contentment ❤

[@Liz.Green789]

Welcome home officially, Laima. What a pleasure to see you looking so happy with your family. She's wonderful. I forgot to wish you a Happy Name Day. I grin all through your vlogs. Thank you for sharing them with us.

[@GailL0266]

What a beautiful video Jana - Laima is the perfect addition to your family, loved the bit when you hubby was sitting with Jacky and Laima. Happy Name's Day - your new mug is lovely with the Moomin stitching.

Hi it is amazing that snow does not stop you in Finland as here in the Uk an inch of snow and all the schools close. Great name for your baby 😊

[@vivianpowell1732]

😊 Ha! I live in coastal South Carolina USA and a few years ago we had an inch or so of snow in January. The city shut down for a week! 😮

[@FinnishKnittingStories]

Ha-ha, then nothing would happen in this country for 6-7 months. 😄

[@KKnits]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Laila looks like she is feeling like she is home. Love your dress! Kids always love the snow. Not so fun when we have to adult in it!

[@heatherallan9767]

The surprise chocolate from your tea-strainer delighted a laugh from me

[@leslienero7884]

It's a beautiful name! It was nice to see the beautiful Jackie too.

[@debracubitt6191]

Beautiful mug, beautiful flowers

[@barbarapregger8526]

Wow you have propper snow! Hope it stays until x-mas ✨️🎅 Great to see both 🐾🐾 on the sofa 😊

[@debracubitt6191]

Gorgeous pups together ❤️ ❤

[@sharontaylor4392]

Your daughter’s hair is beautiful! I also love the length of yours🎉 I have really enjoyed these visits, seeing your snowy yard, your red dishes, the candle chimes, your yarn shop, tea with your family and of course seeing what you are knitting😊

[@barbarasinclair8508]

What a beautiful name Laima.....so enjoying your vlogs x

[@mummyevans2]

Heippa beautiful Laima 😍 welcome to our community. I love how much she loves snow ❄️ 😍

[@wisconsinknitter]

Laima is a lovely name for your family’s very lovely new fur baby ❣️

[@SuretteSnyman]

Love and best wishes ❤️

[@sandrasanders1874]

❤ lovely name ❤ and that light Carousel at the end: so pretty! ❤

[@zetsubou1960]

Congratulations for your new baby, she's so cute! We have barely any snow here in Rauma and it's raining just now, again... 😟 Very slippery roads also, +3. I hope we will get a little snow before christmas. Have a lovely, relaxing holiday season with your family! 💝

[@FinnishKnittingStories]

Sending some snow your way! ❄️

[@jillipepper5353]

I’m glad you’re feeling a little better , love the red dress and nails to match. Laima is a nice name , she’s such a pretty girl and looks so settled and happy, even snuggling with Jackie❤️. Hopefully you don’t get too much snow , I hope we get some for Christmas at least, we haven’t had a white Christmas in years. 🙋🏼‍♀️

[@lisette1580]

What a memorabele times you (and the family and the dogs) now experience. And so much snow!? Is Jacky also doing ok with her new familymember? Wishing you all happiness and a very good sleep. And a stop of snow for now 😉

[@FinnishKnittingStories]

Jackie is still getting used to her, but it's going to be alright.

[@AidaBoza]

Laima is a beautiful name for the baby ❤🎄💚

[@knittingindenivonne]

Hai Jana, the red dress looks so good on you! And the nails 😍 thank you for watching me 😘 and i love to see how the dog makes your eyes shine ❤ i think she is a verry lovely new family member... i wish we had a litle bit snow , but here it is, rainy and grey, and to warm... thank you for your vlogmas every day 😘🧶😊❤❤❤

[@FinnishKnittingStories]

❤️

[@nataliealexander7457]

Loving the name--Laima; I looked up the Baltic mythical goddess! Nice to see that she and Jackie can share space.

[@carolzabrosky9831]

Love the name Laima! I am of Lithuanian descent, and went to school in the US with girls named Laima

[@debracubitt6191]

Oh my gosh Lots of snow for Christmas perhaps... Christmas nails sound like fun 😃

[@Stumpybear7640]

That is a LOT of snow, Jana. Shetland comes to a halt with more than 5 inches😂

[@FinnishKnittingStories]

😄 We sometimes have snow for 6-7 months. Kids go to school even if it's waist deep and freezing cold. 😄

[@JustFluffyQuiltingYarnCrafts]

You are Laima's person. Her name has a nice ring to it and the meaning is great too. ❤

[@zm3839]

Thanks doe sharing your mending. I'm new to knitting and haven't had to mend anything yet.

[@jenniferclucas5843]

Ooh I thought we might have to wait longer for the name reveal! Laima is such a lovely name 💖

[@vivianpowell1732]

I enjoyed today's Dogmas Vlogmas immensely! Laima is a beautiful name, and perhaps one day you will tell us about the Latvian-Lithuanian mythology that inspired the name. My college's motto was " Vita Abundantior", and that is what Laima has been blessed with now - a life more abundant. Your red Christmas dress and nail polish are lovely.

[@juliesemczyszyn5015]

I love watching you all in the snow but I am glad we don't have it here in Victoria, Australia. Yesterday we has 38 degrees Celsius. Today is 23 Celsius. You probably would hate our Christmas. We have barbecues and lots of seafood. Your new doggies looks happy and content. X

[@FinnishKnittingStories]

Warm Christmas is definitely not for me, but I would love some of your seafood! 😄

[@walentowskib]

I love that dress! It will always amaze me that you knit dresses🥰

[@FinnishKnittingStories]

Knit dresses are my favourite outfit! Especially in this weather. 😄

[@bigblackdogfiberarts]

Yay Christmas nails! Your snow appears to be pretty tasty 😂

[@FinnishKnittingStories]

Cronchy! 😄🐾

[@sugarapplesweet]

Oooh Laima! I'm sorry that I misunderstood yesterday, what a lovely baby girl. And I feel you on the mending. I do it, but I don't love it.

[@susanmyrawills]

Laima…beautiful!

[@lizwilliams8406]

We just got a new puppy also. It’s a lot to get used to and it changes routines. But I’m hopeful. It will settle back in. We have a new routine and a little love bug in addition. Her name is Luna.

[@foreveryoung6037]

Hi Jana, thank you for your videos. what a fantastic German Shepherd you have, but where is Jacky

[@FinnishKnittingStories]

Right next to her! In the video at 13:19 😊

[@ylvasundin3148]

Oh, Laima is beautiful! It was my Latvian paternal grandmas name. Miss her! Don’t know about the mythology though ❤

[@FinnishKnittingStories]

That's so special! Laima is the goddess of faith and protector of all women. She is one of the central figures in Baltic mythology.

[@ylvasundin3148]

@ Thanks for telling me this Jana, it means a lot to me ❤️

[@jeanburby6492]

The snow is so pretty but not fun to drive in! We got rain all day today. We might get snow on Wednesday! Hope the transition of having the new dog goes well! What does the name Laima mean?

[@jenniferkluender9936]

Her nickname could be Laima bean.

[@FinnishKnittingStories]

😄❤️

[@anlist]

I just found your knitting podcast today and just have to ask you, where you got the advent calender with the small paper figures. I absoluty adore it and would like to buy one for my grandson. Thank you 🎄

[@FinnishKnittingStories]

It's an older model by Esther Bennink. She has a different one available at the moment - estherbennink.nl/en/winkel/de-boekwinkel-adventskalender-the-bookish-advent-calendar/

[@cherylcarlson3315]

Laima is fate or new beginnings? Wonder if your vet will give a raised eyebrow as I got saying Baldur for the cream tabby. Was 52 F here today ,dense fog,now down to 38F.

[@margaretfeller8004]

🙂

[@AnnieDaddo]

Moi Laima. Woof Woof from Down Under.🐾 You will have a good life with this family. Cannot believe Enrico has damaged his Star Wars jumper again,,and again. I know Christmas traditions are special but fixing this is not. Jana, you are truly that "Lady in Red'..💃.who sings that song? Be well.xx🙏🌏❤🎄

[@FinnishKnittingStories]

Chris de Burgh! Love that song, btw! 😄 Enrico is always keeping up with the traditions! 😂

[@AnnieDaddo]

Enrico will end up in a Lativian doghouse next year if he does it again.Yes, Chris, you win the prize , Jana. A trip to the Carribean and a week off work.Clever girl!x

[@lisaml7411]

I looked up the meaning of Laima and it is a very good choice for her. She looks as if she had made herself right at home and is fitting into your family…. 🤗🤗🤗🦮 Thank yon for Sharon your family during the holidays! ❤
