Snowboots! In Canada, we call them snowshoes. It’s so fascinating how different winter cultures have different names for them!

[@heatherstewart7131]

The little coats are adorable.

I always love watching your podcast, but this episode was even more special. Ow how I would love to sit and knit in this cabin, away from the rest of the world. Lovely yarn you got as well, lovely Rauma. Next time in Norway I must get heaps of this yarn, love it!! Ow and those doggies!!! Sweet.

[@SkeindeerKnits]

Awh, thank you! ^_^ I was worried this would be my worst episode, so that's very good to hear! Someone recently told me there's a dutch webshop that does Rauma yarn, but didn't specify which shop. But you should still visit Norway of course. ;)

[@Mindfulnessification]

I love Norway and must visit very soon!!! 💕❄💕

[@SkeindeerKnits]

Can't argue with you there! :D I miss it already.

[@susancoe4584]

Really nice video. I am coming to Norway in the Spring to do a knitting holiday in the mountains. More excited after watching. Thanks for sharing your country this way.

[@SkeindeerKnits]

Oh that sounds so lovely! I hope you'll enjoy the Norwegian mountains! :D I sure do!

[@kimmysongbird9637]

I missed this episode!!! Love Norway and just love the knitting supplies in a grocery store!!!! 😊🌷

[@SkeindeerKnits]

Hahaha, yeah, I had someone mention that clip to me yesterday actually! Gotta love a place where you can get Addi needles and potato chips in the same isle.

[@gillianlay8963]

That was a fantastic podcast. Thank you for sharing your trip to Norway. Such a beautiful place! Loved seeing all the yarn stores you went to and your doggies are so sweet!

[@brigitakurnik4139]

[@SkeindeerKnits]

Thank you for your lovely comment! :)

[@wellwoman4685]

What a treat. Thanks for the podcast

[@SkeindeerKnits]

Thank you! ^_^

[@luzmendoza3167]

Hello from California! Really enjoyed your podcast!

[@SkeindeerKnits]

Hello! And thank you! :D

[@AStateofDeNile]

Thank you for sharing a bit of your home life. Norway is on my bucket list - especially the yarn shops! Your cabin in the woods reminds me of summers at the cabin we rented ... very unplugged. But way back then it was just called a vacation :)

[@edejan]

OMG!!! I'm SO jealous! There are two yarn stores within a few hours of my home and neither has anything like the selection in your Norwegian shops! I need to be near more and better yarn shops! Boohoo....

[@emilypresley5170]

My English mastiff loves wearing sweaters 😂 he prances around and makes everyone pet him with his nose up in the air hahaha

[@u.s.n.retired1995]

Thanks for taking us on the trip. Your yarn stores are great, so many beautiful unique things. Happy New Year to you and yours and by all means please get better soon. By the way love your hats and sweater.

[@SkeindeerKnits]

I'm glad you liked the video! ^_^ I love those yarn shops as well! While it's great to be a knitter in London, you just can't beat the yarn availability in Norway.

[@rubylu8079]

what a beautiful area..Loved the yarn stores, wow...

[@SkeindeerKnits]

Yeah, and to think that there were even more yarn stores that I'd not had time to visit. :P

[@abigailirvine3414]

Lovely podcast,enjoy being home loved seeing all the yarn shops x

[@SkeindeerKnits]

Thank you! ^_^ Sadly I'm back in London now, but not without a significant portion of yarn!

[@DixieGirl9876]

Who can blame a girl with sooo much temptation! Wonderful yarn shops! (I have to travel 50 miles to find one half that size.)A beautiful place and cozy cabin, thanks for sharing. Feel better soon. LOVE the mittens (of course as a beekeeper I would.lol) BTW they call those skeps the basket bee house of long ago. Your doggies are adorable! Norway really knows how to sell yarn, even in the supermarkets! Love that!

[@SkeindeerKnits]

It's crazy that there were even more yarn shops I didn't have time to visit. Wish I could've gone to the huge one that opened a year ago. And there's a really unique one way out in the countryside full of imported luxury yarns which I've never been to!

[@loraevans3423]

I love the blue and orange sweater!! 😍

[@annmarieaquino8949]

A lovely episode! Thank you so much for sharing your trip back home.

[@SkeindeerKnits]

Thank you for that lovely comment! ^_^

[@livdriscoll3981]

Ooooooh my goooosh I love that country too!!! Yarn and addi in food stores AMAZING Why don’t I have that here! Uuuugh lol 😆

[@jenniferhirschboeck]

Ahahaha! My fiancé is in Stavanger and I swear I cannot wait to move! I come out with three bags every time I go to a yarn store. It is just something awesome about those boutiques

[@SkeindeerKnits]

Oooh, brilliant! :D Given Rogaland is a very sheep-rich area, a lot of the great yarn producers are from in/near that area. I think you'll have a lot of fun. :P

[@AHomespunHouse]

I am soooo intrigued by your wooly Norwegian yarns !!!!! They seem so wooly and beautiful. Most of my Family traveled to America from Norway...so I have a lot of Norwegian in my blood :) I think a trip to Norway is in my near future....and getting some of that scrumptious yarn is as well. LOOOOVED your vlog/podcast Eli

[@SkeindeerKnits]

Really? That's so cool! Then you should definitely get hold of some Norwegian wool. :D I recommend Finullgarn and Lamullgarn by Rauma and anything by Hillesvåg! As if that wasn't obvious from my video, haha! :D Thanks for your lovely comment! I look forward to your local yarn club! ^_^ Given the focus on natural fibre, I figured it ought to be my very first yarn club.

[@Ochyas]

Yes new episode!

[@SkeindeerKnits]

:D

[@MaraKnits]

I wish we had yarn like that in our supermarkets here in the UK...... Not surprised you bought loads ;)

[@SkeindeerKnits]

Oh, me too! Me too... I miss them loads.

[@Cerecia61]

I have three whippets and they LOVE wearing jumpers or coats.

[@allys911]

ughhh i want to learn to knit norwegian patterned sweaters soo bad!!! i live in oregon in u.s and no stores or people near me sell anything like this. i think it would be wonderful to bring a norwegian / oregonian style into a sweater. but i have never knitted in my life. i just started watching informational videos and just bought my first needles (: my goal is to be able to knit beautiful norsk style sweaters. since they dont come around easily near me. why not make them. right? Tusen takk for videoene dine!

[@carin.zwaneveld]

I loved watching the dogs in the beginning. I'm a dog lover too, I have a jack russel terrier. And ohhh so many yarn shops !!! And you bought so many Rauma. As I mentioned in an earlier podcast of you I just bought Finullgarn for the first time, I hope It will soften up a bit, first time for me knitting with this yarn. Overhere in the Netherlands it is expensive ;-) so you are lucky you can buy it in Norway. And than the rest of the podcast filming in your cabin, that was so awesome !! I realy loved watching that and enjoyed it ! I think the five skeins are perfect for the fade shawl. I do however want to mention the Australian designer Ambah O'brien, she also have many patterns with several colors in a shawl. I'm currently knitting the Bambara wrap and realy love it. okay, ... now onto the next podcast !! I could say Happy New Year, but it is July now that I watch this ;-)

[@julieenslin909]

thank you for showing me your beautiful Norway! your podcast is inspiring, especially the yarns you choose. I thought of this podcast when I viewed "Knitography" podcast, by an American/Texan expat who now has her home in Norway near the places you mention, I think. Check it out?

[@SkeindeerKnits]

Thank you for the lovely words! :) I just checked out Knitography, and immediately subscribed. Shame I couldn't leave a comment, but it definitely made me homesick! ^_^

[@strikketerapi2777]

for ein koseleg vlogg og podcast! det er veldig fint der du kjem frå. saknar heimen min når eg ser det, berre at det er på sørlandet (åh, havet). fekk lyst til å kjøpa lamull, finull og 3-trådsgarn no, men neste på lista er faktisk mohair! eller, neste på lista er eigentleg ingenting, men du veit... :D

[@SkeindeerKnits]

Tusen takk! ^_^ Kjenner et lite sørlandssavn jeg og. Merkelig nok så er Flekkefjord som min andre hjemby, go figure. :P Burde ta turen dit igjen snart, og kanskje titte innom Sjølingstad Uldvarefabrik. :D Oi! Hva skal du strikke av mohair?

[@strikketerapi2777]

ah, så gøy! eg er frå ei bygd i farsund kommune. sjølingstad er så koseleg! sist eg var der fekk eg heilt panikk og klarte å kjøpe 4 hesper 3-tr sjølingstadgarn i naturlysebrun. sjølv om eg skulle ha fargar.. jaja. ikkje veit eg kva eg skal gjera med dei heller. mohair skal bli lang kjole + genser, trur eg!

[@SkeindeerKnits]

Åh, Farsund er koselig! Var der for et par sommere siden. Veldig bra iskrem der. :D
