Thank you for the vicarious travel. So nice to see your family's traditions!

I call that root vegetable rutabaga. I love it mashed with a bit of butter and a drizzle of maple syrup. Yum! What a gorgeous baby you have

[@alenastehnova6662]

Hi Inga, thanks for this episode. It was lovely to see your traditions, Nelli with her knitting 😂 and all the yarn stores visits. I also apreciate you mentioning "Popelka". I am from the Czech republic, where it was filmed back in the 70's and I've heard about it being popular in Norway. I love it and watch it every Christmas too. I wish you many happy moments in 2025..

[@Snowshoeingisfun]

I loved this vlog! Thank you for sharing your family and traditions with us. Thank you too for taking us to beautiful yarn stores where we can shop vicariously through you! I live in a very remote, isolated part of northern Canada and have to do all of my yarn shopping on line. May 2025 be filled with joy, peace, good health, family, love and lots of knitting!

[@deekay1641]

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful time with family. I so enjoyed hearing of all your traditional foods and celebrations. Nellie is such a love and a great age to enjoy all that is going on. Happy New Year

Peace. Family. Food. Togetherness. Yarn. All the best traditions. Thank you!

[@solangethompson4251]

Thanks for another lovely vlog. It's so interesting seeing how other countries/cultures celebrate Xmas. The food looks delicious. New Zealand is hot, and the traditional food is a cooked ham, salads, breads, and barbeques. And Pavlova for dessert. Little Nelli is gorgeous. She's holding those needles so well!

[@agillsfo]

Thanks so very much!! I thoroughly enjoyed each moment and Nellie is absolute preciousness!! Such a beautiful family!! Sending you all love and best wishes for 2025 from Virginia!! ❤🎉

[@knittingtraditions]

Happy new year💕😁

[@lindav1403]

I just felt so wonderfully relaxed and joyful while watching this. My favorite part was at 6:17, watching Nellie dance! 🥰

[@catherinehastings2309]

The root vegetable is turnip in Ireland and swede in the UK. I love it too. Hated it as a child. It's great in vegetable soup. X

[@ethelcowieson1696]

We call them 'neeps' here in North East Scotland , so not much different from 'Nepa'

[@andreea6347]

[@sml-wf3pb]

This was absolutely lovely! Thank you for sharing it with us. My mother's name was Nellie. It's not a very common name in the U.S., so I always enjoy hearing it on your podcast, and seeing your precious little girl...especially when she's knitting : )

[@bvrlymllr]

You have a beautiful family. The holidays are so rich when shared with loved one. Blessings for the coming year.

[@Mr3355661]

You have a gift not only for knitting… But all your touches in filming and your lovely voice and dialogue. And your beloved, beautiful little Nelly! What a privilege to take part of her first Christmas… May God bless you and your family with good health, continued loving joy, and peace, dear peace in unity for the world.

Thank you Inge for sharing your traditions. IT was interesting. Your Nelly is beautiful ❤️

[@melissalampman7214]

Happy New Year Inga and family! 🎊 🎉2025! I love your very cultural Christmas, it is inspiring! Here in Canada, B.C. , something my two sons and myself do is go to the beach Christmas Eve or Christmas night, and sometimes they go crabbing. We didn’t do it this year as my eldest spent Christmas with new friends and family. I missed it, but still had fun, making my younger son play a board game! Look forward to 2025, I guess you will be back at work sometime this year. It has been so lovely sharing your past year with Nelly at home, thank you .😊 All the best for 2025!

[@annies2416]

What a beautiful episode. Thank you for sharing your Christmas traditions with us. I felt like I was part of a Norwegian holiday.Happy New Year to you and your family.💕🎊🎉 PS Hope you got some pierogis too.

[@lindakillick1066]

Thank you Inge, for taking me back to beautiful Norway. Visited in the fall for the first time and absolutely loved the landscape, the architecture, the people - all of it. So looking forward to casting on new projects this year with the lovely yarn I brought home. A very Happy New Year to you and your little family.

[@nellymaitin2326]

I enjoyed every minute of your podcast. I can see why Nellie is so beautiful, she inherited her parents genes. Thank you for letting us see how you are creating Christmas Traditions with your family of three. May the New Year bring you and your family, Peace, Joy, Love, Prosperity, and most importantly health. That's my wish to you from Brooklyn, New York.

A beautiful recap, Inga and so nice seeing the snow and cosy vibes. That swede mash with butter and nutmeg was a always popular at my Oma's house growing up too.Blessings to you and yours and thankyou for sharing. Note to self: Teach that girl of yours to use a snow shovel by next Winter.😉❤🌏🐨xx

[@knitwithjo]

Ooh the Sandnes Garn outlet looks magical! Thanks for sharing your holidays with us, it's so cool to see new places and and different traditions. Happy new year, and cheers to a great year of knitting ahead!

[@valeriesugden718]

I think that was my favorite vlogmas this year! I really loved seeing the two yarn stores in Bergen because I went there last June when I was in Bergen. My favorite was Broderie because I got some lovely Sandnesgarn there for on sale. And the Christmas market there looked so much fun, even in the rain😅. Nelli is getting so big ! Thank you for a year of lovely videos, please don’t stop if you can find the time❤️

[@debbieward9732]

Absolutely lovely! I had the worst Christmas ever for many reasons so I am hoping my turn for such a crappy one is over for many years to come! It was truly lovely watching your Christmas/New Year.

[@knittingtraditions]

I hope the new year makes up for the crappy holidays💕💕💕

[@JenniferRoughOut]

[@nicolelafontaine1720]

What a charming video ! Thanks ! I think the mashed vegetable you are talking about are turnips, from the look of it.

[@metallicamom17]

lovely family traditions!!!....drooling over the yarn shops you visited!!!!🤤🧶🧶🧶Thank you for sharing😊😍🥰

[@veronikamettgen2681]

Thank you Inga for the beautiful pictures of your wonderful country. My husband and I will visit Norway in march. We are so excited to see it. And I ,of course, hope to visit several yarnshops😊 Wish you a beautiful and healthy new year. ❤

[@marietheresemichel8902]

I love travelling and so far haven't been to Norway yet, so it was great to watch your video of your traditional Xmas festivities ..and your sharing of "wooly" boutiques and shops ❤

[@patricialeib6565]

Watching little Nellie is such a joy- especially knitting - as I’m waiting for my own first grandchild, a girl, in February. Soon!

[@knittingtraditions]

Oh how exciting😍

[@annmacomber8304]

Thanks for sharing your trip with us. It was very enjoyable. Wish you a very happy and healthy new year.

[@mayfrost5189]

Thank you for a lovely podcast . It made me homesick, but that is ok. What saved me this year abroad was that I was able to get pinnekjött.

[@knittingtraditions]

Wonderful! Ikke lett å få i utlandet😅

[@lenaweaver4751]

Thank you for sharing your beautiful family gatherings. What wonderful traditions and wishing you & your family a happy healthy New Year! Someday I am going to visit your beautiful country and buy LOTS of yarn! I really enjoy your content and am grateful for all your inspiration! You are an amazing person.

[@maritjohanne3406]

Thank you for a beautiful podcast! Happy new year!

[@knittingtraditions]

Happy new year!

[@KathyLandry-o8i]

Such a lovely podcast and sharing a little of what a Norwegian Christmas is like. I did notice that the vegetable that you used at your parents home we call a “turnip” in New England (Massachusetts, NH, Maine etc) but down in the south they call it a “rutabaga”. It is also one of our traditional Christmas side dishes. Though I would love to make your recipe, sounds delicious. Happy knitting ❤❤Kathy from Massachusetts

[@catherinecunningham7126]

Looks like you had a wonderful Holiday season, Inga. 🎄🌻

[@normasmith9596]

Lovely Podcast I especially love the background music, so quiet and Christmasy

[@lorrainekrahn4498]

Nellie is so sweet, The English name for the root vegetable you’re cutting is Rutabaga . Thanks for sharing your Christmas with us.

[@annh.8290]

Thank you this was fun to watch. I think I'd like your mashed root dish, it looks tasty.

[@sallylunamoth5542]

Absolutely Love You & Your Beautiful Family Inga... Wonderful. " Happy New Year 🎉❤

[@kiwijenniferknits]

Thank you dear Inga, for another super nice Vlogmas! I really liked it and I appreciate all the time and effort you put into these podcasts to make them soooooo good! Happy New Year to you and your family! ❤

[@knittingtraditions]

Happy new year💕😁

[@Mainedge0626]

You live in such a beautiful looking country❤

[@karenbushell3776]

In the Uk the root vegetable you are talking about is a swede. I normally cook it with carrots then mash it with a bit of butter, salt and pepper.

[@MarinaMandarinaWoolyWorld]

7:32 if I am not mistaken in UK this root vegetable is called swede, or swede turnip. I love it, especially in salads.

[@knittingtraditions]

Yes!

[@Tinkergrumpybuns]

Oh we call the mashed root veggies rotmos! Delicious.

[@garyweybright3227]

Really enjoyed seeing the family traditions! Nelli is going to be a great knitter, I think and I can already see those MorsHel socks in the not too distant future! Many blessings to you and the family! ClaudiaSJI

So fun to see your holiday traditions. The food is very very different! What is it about rude yarn stores employees. They are everywhere, it just doesn't jive with this craft.

Takk for nydelige podkastepisoder🤩Ønsker deg og dine et Godt Nytt år🌟🌟🌟

[@jenniferbarrett3272]

Thanks for sharing your holiday traditions and celebrations. What is the meskit (?) that you add to the root vegetable dish. I love mashed turnip and carrot (a family tradition in our family- likely from some British roots, although maybe from my Icelandic roots, no one to ask any more). Happy new year to you and your sweet family. ❤🎉

[@knittingtraditions]

Its muscat nut, or nutmeg😁

[@jenniferbarrett3272]

@ Thanks. I have never heard nutmeg called muscat nut. Makes sense!
