How lucky is Nellie having such a crafty mum? She will be the best dressed little one at Kindergarten. ❤❤❤

[@debracubitt6191]

Oh your ribbon jumper is beautiful😊 The yarns are lovely😃

[@annmacomber8304]

In the US, we attach the mittens on a yarn cord, long enough to feed through the jacket sleeves. This way the mittens don't get lost. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

[@knittingtraditions]

Great tip!

[@nicolelafontaine1720]

I wish you, your family and all your loved ones a very good holiday period, lots of fun and festivities, good health and free time for your creativity.

[@silveralanatural]

May you and your family have a peaceful and enjoyable holiday trip ❤❤

[@jilliankonig2759]

Beautiful projects! With only two additional seams, you can take your project bags up a notch by creating box bottoms so the bag stands up. Just take the bottom seam and place it perpendicular to each side seam and sew across the bottom of the triangle. I always used to put the string connecting the mittens down the sleeves of the coat, so that they're always ready when the child put her arms into the coat.

[@knittingtraditions]

Thanks for the tip!😁

[@kiwijenniferknits]

Thank you for taking time to share with us this lovely podcast Inga! I really enjoyed all of it. I have watched your Vlogmases too and they are the BEST! Best wishes and Season's Greetings to you and your family ❤❤

[@knittingtraditions]

Thank you so much!

[@meganarlin4968]

Hope you and your family have a lovely holiday ❤️

I did made gift bags to my children when they was young. With a snowman on. They got a small gift in it every year. They have moved out now. But they don't want to take the giftbag with them. It belongs under mommys tree. So if they are home in chrismas there is a small gift there, and if they are not the giftbag lay there empty.

[@annh.8290]

Have a wonderful trip. I do love your ideas, but the light color for Nellie's sweater, makes me hope she is neater than my boys were at that age.

[@knittingtraditions]

So far no problem though i dont know how it will be in kindergarden😂

[@thizizliz]

Happy Holidays! Nellie's first Christmas will be memorable. For you more than for her! LOL. I used the string for little mittens and mostly it worked out. Extra long cuffs such as you made are great - I put the mittens on before the coat and they stayed warmer. Enjoy your trips and have a wonderful, restful time. She'll never be this age again and it's just such a fun time.

[@garyweybright3227]

Oh Inga, have a safe trip and enjoy the time with family and friends! I wish you a very merry Christmas and a wonderful new year! Hard to believe that Nelli will be starting kindergarten! Holiday hugs, ClaudiaSJI

[@nanabella007]

Those mittens are adorable! We would often see mittens that are connected with a long-ish cord and that would go along the kid's back and through the jacket arm out the cuff so when they take off the mittens they just hang out the arm and don't get lost :D

[@KnittingDakini]

In Denmark mittens on a string are not allowed in kindergarden, as well as other things that tie around the neck because of strangulation hazard. But they recommend adding a button and loop to the sleeve in stead!

[@saga4646]

Clay is seriously addictive because it is so adaptable. The creation ideas are endless and it can truly suck you into a vortex hahaha.

[@knittingtraditions]

Its dangerous!

[@glendabathgate4036]

Best knitted dressed little girl at nursery just so lovely have a lovely festive season

[@nellymaitin2326]

Have a Very Merry Christmas, and a healthy New Year filled with lots of love. Nellie is growing up so fast, enjoy every moment, before you know it she'll be all grown up. Time is passing by so quickly. Enjoy your time with family, and friends.

[@kathrynbarry3059]

Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family. I hope you get lots of knitting time over the holidays. Sending love from Australia ❤🎄🎁

[@knittingtraditions]

Happy holidays!

[@scottmacdonald-v4b]

Fabulous!

[@lynntimmer1620]

I especially love the wine colored wool you showed towards the end. It's quite elegant, I think! Happy packing and traveling! 😊

[@knittingtraditions]

Thank you! 😊

[@JenMaitreya]

Beautiful podcast!!! ❤

[@knittingtraditions]

Thank you! 😊

[@tarispe]

Im always amazed at how many finished objects you have in your episodes. Meanwhile, I am still knitting on the same hat I started 3 weeks ago. 🤨

[@knittingtraditions]

Some items have been on my needles for months though;)

[@dsherrill2988]

Hi, I love that sweater you’re wearing! It’s beautiful ❤ I would definitely make some icord or crochet chain to hold the mittens together, especially if you don’t LOVE making mittens 😅

[@karenmacaulay7938]

Thank you for another lovely vlog Inga. Please can you advise which circular needles you use as I would like to invest in some new needles? Thank you, Kaz. Merry Christmas to you and your little family. x

[@knittingtraditions]

For interchangables i like the knitpro ginger and for metal the hiyahiya sharps, for small circulars i like the 30cm ones from either sandnes garn or addi😁

[@karenmacaulay7938]

@@knittingtraditionsthank you so much ❤

[@jennymiles4426]

So, had to laugh when you spoke about making mittens for Nelly that would be durable enough for her to wear when she was using a shovel, at kindergarten, in the wet…I’m not Norwegian so I’m thinking, not only do babies in Norway have to sleep outside in the snow, when they’re a year old they get sent out on the streets shovelling snow and doing roadworks😂😂😂

[@knittingtraditions]

Haha better get usefull haha

[@DanielePoirier]

Joyeux Noël !

[@nadinedetain6765]

Mittens for kindergarden cannot be lost if you join the mittens with a string you introduce in the inside of the child's coat from one wrist to the other. Hope it makes sense. It is very useful.

[@knittingtraditions]

Might just have to do that!

[@fancypantsism]

Have a merry Christmas. I am sure it will a lovely holiday season for you with family and friends. I am trying to remember what pattern you used for the baby and toddler ribbed pants for Nellie. If you remember, please let me know.

[@knittingtraditions]

First impressions pants by drops!

[@s.aliciawarren4283]

For the mittens: knit an icons and attach to each mitten. Run the mittens through the coat sleeves so the mittens are in the right place and won’t get lost! They stay in place when you run them through the coat sleeves. You probably already know this 😂

[@knittingtraditions]

Hadnt thought of it actually😅

[@s.aliciawarren4283]

I cord 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

[@jilliankonig2759]

The Norwegian Knitter knits a hat with ear flaps that tie under the chin that is very cute. The pattern is Uvaerslua by Strikksoffe.

[@knittingtraditions]

Its on my list!

[@Baghwanita]

Happy Holiday - and have a safe and wonderful travelling Christmas. What is the name and the designer that you will knit with the vinered Rauma Fivel yarn?

[@Julia-lz8vl]

I think Inga was talking about the Versal by Ailbíona McLochlainn, she has some wonderful designs! :)

[@Baghwanita]

@@Julia-lz8vl Thank you, I agree that its wonderful designs :)

[@АннаШумилова-я3б]

В год уже в сад? Не рановато? В моëм детстве варежки для малышей были на резинке (бельевой которая в трусах, брюках и т. д) один конец к варежке, через рукав шубы, через вешалку в шубе и в другой рукав ко второй варежке😊

[@DanielePoirier]

Where can i find Mittens pattern lime nellys?
