The Playful Knitter 21 - Socktober and some severe Cast-on-itis🎃

[@knitterbigd8203]

I’m always a sucker for Bach’s ‘Sheep May Safely Graze’. Love your yarn dyeing!

[@susanmyrawills]

beautiful music…as well as your knitting!

[@janpraytor6256]

Always an enjoyable episode. I look forward to your music selections. The music from the movie, "Once" would be lovely!

[@barbaragrant4857]

Thank you Malene for all your beautiful music and knitting! I love quiet, soothing piano music, such as what you play for us. A favorite is Clair de Lune by Debussy.

[@dortelindholm8402]

Tak for et dejligt afsnit - A Summer Prayer for Peace er smuk og evig aktuel.

[@anitafernandes2787]

Malene, thanks for another beautiful episode. You are a great companion every time I sit down to knit and relax. I love the music in the Movie sound of music. That will always remain close to my heart.

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Amazing music🎵💖

[@helenmoffat2353]

Love the Batak shawl, may have to knit one myself. One of my favourite songs is “Right here waiting for you” by Richard Marx

[@JustFluffyQuiltingYarnCrafts]

Beautiful yarn 🧶and great music 🎶is why I keep coming back to your channel. Don't Worry Be Happy is the song that defines how knitting makes me feel. I hear it here on the channel a lot and it's a perfect choice. 💖🧶

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

One of my favorites🤩

[@Tinas_Workshop]

As always everything is beautiful but I love that shawl/poncho in green, just beautiful. Unfortunately way too hot here still for anything except shorts and a tank top but still think that may be a nice one to make. One of my favorite songs that I have heard you play before beautifully is Hallelujah.

[@larabartlett3483]

Your batad is beautiful. My favourite music piece is the song Somewhere my love from Dr. Zhivago. My name comes from the movie and I’ve loved the music piece since I was a little girl…. Happy knitting on all you FO’s!

[@stine30f.11]

Malen,I love your piano playing, thank you so much. I like sonatas from Beethoven and music from Elton John. Your garments are wunderful .Christine

[@zm3839]

I love the sounds of Fur Elise.

[@Su_ohne_a]

Beautiful podcast, as always😊 I'd love to hear you play more Danish songs. The one in this podcast episode was lovely!

[@vibeke1939]

😊 another idea for the Knitathon: Merry-go-round of life. One of my sons is rehearsing on a daily basis - and it would be lovely to hear the end of the melody 🎹😊

[@JuliaEdge-u6j]

I love all your makings - so pretty. I have, recently changed from metal to wooden needles for my socks! I would lo hear ‘Let there be peace on earth’ given the horrible times we are living through. Jinny - Uk

[@teresaknittingdancer9052]

All of the skeins you dyed are beautiful. I like "Last Date' by Floyd Cramer.

[@mariatorres3171]

Love, love all the wips. Thanks for sharing 💕💕💕

[@ellablue6980]

Beautiful yarn and colors! My favourite song? That's difficult because I have so many... but one that lies deep in my heart: "My friend the forest" from Nils Frahm 💚

[@GilaStrick28]

Malene, your episode was my sunday afternoon! I like „Thank you for the music“ from ABBA very much.😊

[@bayareaknitter]

What a gorgeous cowl/poncho! I love the way you chose to wear it! 😍 And I love the song Piano Man by Billy Joel.

[@stamdl]

I just love your colorful yarn choices. And the cowl/shawl you were wearing was beautiful. Enjoyed seeing your cats and hearing that pretty piano song. I think dying yarn would be so much fun. I’ve always loved hearing “Let it Be” on the piano.

[@liin218]

Hi Malene, thank you for sharing what you're working on. Your Batak shawl looks amazing. One of my favorite songs to listen to is Yiruma's River flows in you.

[@suemathison8078]

[@jenniferbarrett3272]

How about playing the Teddy Bears’ Picnic! You have a LOT of lovely cast ones. Wow! Thanks for the musical interlude ( I fell sound asleep and then had to wind back to watch the last bit- lol).

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

I love that the music made you sleep😍Thank you for watching🎵💖

[@RoseVuokko]

Greetings from the north shore of Lake Superior! I would love to hear Amazing Grace! Thanks for all you do!

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Thank you Rose💖🎵

[@Babsknits324]

Loved seeing all your cast-ons! I think it is the coziness of the fall season that motivates us to cast-on. My suggestion for music is Ode to Joy by Beethoven because knitting brings me joy and so does watching and listening to you! How special it would be to have yarn that you dyed. Happy Fall! 🍃🍁🐿️🌻🎃

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Happy Fall🎃🧡🍁🍂

[@lorrainewalker9426]

My favourite piece of piano music has to be Meggies theme from the Thorn birds, anywhere the heart goes. Thanks for sharing your makes ❤🧶x

Tak for endnu et hyggeligt afsnit :-) Jeg er ret glad for The rose

Den er også skøn🤩

[@JulietteAuckland]

I loved when you played: A heart made of yarn

[@YarnStorieswithOlivia]

I sat with you on my lunch break as I monogamously knit on my Rhinebeck sweater which has had to be restarted. Seeing your wips helped me through the disappointment of not having the time to cast on due to my procrastination on my sweater 😊 Thanks for the wonderful company and laugh with ‘gutter’ 😂

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Have an amazing time at Rhinebeck. Definitely an experience on my bucket list😊

[@AnnieDaddo]

Morning Malene..always a joy to see what you’re up to and that melody was so beautiful to listen to as I knitted with my first cuppa.🙏👌❤️So many wips..me too🤭..and so much joy.I wish you many happy Autumn days ahead.Go well.🙏❤️👋🦘🐨🌏🌱xx

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Thank you Annie! Happy Days💖💖

Jeg vil male dagen blå af Pia Raug er mit bud på en melodi . Tak for en dejlig afsnit 🧦🧶

[@amyfox_in_sox]

As usual, your episode was eye candy. Love all the wips. Imagine by John Lennon is not only a beautiful song but very appropriate for the tumultuous times we live in.

[@h.kristensen1394]

Tusind tak for endnu en hyggelig stund. Jeg har altid været vild med The Load Out med Jackson Browne 🍂🍁🫶🏼

[@sandivandervoort4305]

You're a natural when it comes to yarn dyeing! I love them all!! I love "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" by Elton John, (from The Lion King). I've been casting on lots of projects too, and I have so many more ready to start. Never enough knitting time!

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Agreed! We need more knitting time😊

[@AnnemarieTome]

I love listening to "Candle in the Wind" by Elton John. In fact anything by Elton John would be lovely. You're very blessed to be so talented. Thanks for a lovely podcast ❤

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Thank you🙏🏻💖

[@brennaw.7022]

One of my favourite songs is Butterflies by Suzanne Ciani. My dad used to play it to me every night so I could sleep when I was little. As an adult if I am upset or stressed I will play it and it makes me feel so calm and loved.

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

It’s amazing how music can bring us so many good thoughts and makes us feel calm🎵💖

[@susanneravn-nielsen3907]

Thank you for a Nice episode and great wirh all your castons! I could suggest "A Handfull og Songs"

[@mettelunanilsson2572]

Tak for endnu et hyggeligt afsnit 🧶🌼 Jeg vil elske at høre "livstræets krone" spillet på piano af dig 🎶🎵🎹

[@manuelad1065]

I love your Battad 🫶 I have to make one too. ☺️ That’s a great way how you wear it 😍. You did really a great job dying your yarn 🤩 I love the colors you did. I am looking forward to your piano playing at the knitathon. Maybe you can play the Feather Theme of Forrest Gump or something of Bryan Adams ☺️

[@debbyflowers1488]

Another lovely episode, I love your projects and the yarn you dyed especially! The blue one reminds me of faded blue jeans so I will suggest Gershwin - Rhapsody in Blue. It was fun to see that cats outside!

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Oh I love Rhapsody in Blue🤩

[@anitawessels3932]

Hello I was working on the West MKAL while looking at your beautiful project. One of my favorite piano music is Fur Elise by Beethoven.

[@lindashields5939]

Love the Batad you’re wearing! I’m seriously tempted . . . Late to the show, but I really enjoyed seeing alll your WIPS. Off to watch you most recent episode. Salam wa sa’aadah

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Thank you so much Linda! The Batad really is so much fun and great to wear😃

[@KatieCannonDesigns]

I love the color of the yarn. The song would have to be “Place in this World” by Michael W. Smith. I played it at a piano recital years ago.

[@Mintyknitssocks]

A fellow sock (and sock yarn) obsessed knitter! Loving the Opal socks. Team cast on itis! Perhaps we need a support group 😅

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

We do! What a great idea🤩We must find the perfect group name😍

[@strawberrypatches8742]

Hi Malene! Greetings from New Zealand! Loved seeing all your castons - yey! i'm also crazy about Socktober and Halloween and your socks are so cute! One of my favourite songs is Coldplay's yellow or scientist.. or any of their songs actually. I'm going to their concert next month and I'm super excited! Have a great week, Marina

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Coldplay is amazing! Have an amazing time at the concert🤩💖🎵

[@marieke_emkacreations]

Thanks for sharing! I love to watch your episodes, just enough details and lovely music. I really liked the yarn you dyed, I think the muted mint and blue ones look fantastic! Dying yarn is on my wish list for my birthday, so I hope to experience this next year. I love songs by Agnes Obel and think the song September Song might be great for your festival. Too bad I don't live in Denmark and can't join....

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Thank you so much Marieke🎵💖

[@MelBassett-yb9xg]

😻🎵🎶 eek! So excited!😺 thank you 💕 Your 4th of July skein looks so professional! I love them all My favourite song is the lost chord by Arthur Sullivan. I used to play it in slow melody competitions in the cornet as a child!😹

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

What a great memory! Thank you for sharing🎵💖

[@Chris1964.1]

Hallo Malene, thank you for this great episode, so much amazing projects.I love the song Ballad of the Runaway Horse by Leonard Cohen. I'm looking forward to your next episode and the knitathon in november. 🙂 greetings from germany, Christiane

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Thank you Christiane🎵💖

[@rosemaryobrien2569]

My favorite song is Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen.

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Thank you so much Janet! Your kind and sweet word truly warmed my heart🎵💖

[@janbatin4708]

I love the shawl you’re wearing. How about a Joni Mitchell song?

[@fredrikmagnusson916]

Air by Bach is my favorite /Carina Gustafsson

[@misshappyknitter]

It is so lovely to see you again. I love all you're wips and hand-dyed yarn. It is a little bit funny, I knitted my first Musselbourgh hat last week, and have alredy started ion my second. I am already addicted. 😅 My suggestion to song you can play, are My favourte thing from The Sounds of music. 🥰

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

They’re just such a fun and satisfying knit🤩

[@claralandry3867]

My two favorite piano songs are One Summer Day by Joe Hisaishi and A Flurry of Golden Leaves by Kevin Kern. I listen to them when I read two of my favorite books, so now the very first note brings me right back into those stories.

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

I love how certain music can bring out certain memories. It’s like magic🎵💖

[@barbaragrant4857]

Hello Malene! Enjoyed the podcast today, as always. Could you share your recipe for the cozy striped sock scraps, perhaps in a future show notes?I too have so many sock yarn scraps and many are self stripping fingering weight yarn. I really like the white borders for contrast instead of just joined mitered squares in a jumble of colors. The way you knit it, each can shine on its own.

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

It’s part of the Advent from Alonelysocklady, but I’ll check and share if it’s ok😊 it’s just a basic mitered square and I cast on 70 sts and add the stripes after 9 garter ridges😃 And thank you! I really like the look too🤩

[@jilliankonig2759]

Hedwig's Theme from Harry Potter has all of the mystical and magical sounds of Halloween. Don't know if it can be played on piano.

[@brittakristiansen7852]

Tak for et hyggeligt afsnit. Mit forslag til koncerten er "Duerne flyver". Den er vist skrevet af Grethe og Jørgen Ingemann. 🕊️😊

Thank you for a nice episode, nice to see all your WIPs❤ Loooove your dyed yarns! 🎉 My suggestion for piano music for the Knitathon is something with Scott Joplin or/and Wilhelm Peterson Berger 🎶🎶 Kram! Lotte

[@birgittecaning5981]

Tak dejligt afsnit! Dit farvede garn er da blevet super godt. Jeg foreslår: sensommervise eller skyerne gråner. Begge lidt melankolske melodier, men det synes jeg er stemningen om efteråret med et strøg af hygge ☺️

[@gudrunmull6877]

Hej Malene, så mange dejlige projekter du har gang i. Det var da en skøn dag, at kunne farve Garn i de farver du ville have, de er blevet så smukke. Jeg ønsker mig, nu falmer skoven.

[@ullahundahl8708]

Så hyggeligt at strikke lidt sammen med dig og jeg ville nyde at høre,”Fuglene letter” , af Henning Toft Bro.💨

[@virginiasattler-reimer9554]

Your yarn turned out beautifully! I think Vivaldi's Autumn is an obvious choice, maybe too obvious?

[@annelisbethkirstein6289]

Tak for dejlig podcast. Hvad med Nu falmer skoven, den passer fint til efteråret. Fint garn du har farvet. 😊👍

Hi Malene, what a joyful Sunday morning. Sitting with a coffee, the Halloween socks for my niece and your vlog is so beautiful to me. Thank you. I can’t wait to see how many advents calenders you have, my husband said I have too many. 😅 Maybe you can play something from Edvard Grieg, his music reminds me on my travels trough Norway and Finland. Thanks Karina

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

We can never have too many advents - right😁 Thank you for the lovely suggestion!🎵💖

[@carolinekirk7147]

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Også en af mine🎵🤩

[@sabinebauerle7655]

Im not sure if there is a piano version of this song, a heart of gold by Neil young, one of my favorites. I’m knitting along on a blanket as well, the alpenglow blanket by purl soho with their wonderful minis set of linen quill, love, love , love it. Next on my to knit list will be the batad, I’m still not sure about the colors. Did you use some kind of mohair for your green stripes as suggested in the pattern ?

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

The Batad is such a fun knit! I didn’t use a mohair. Just the single merino😊

[@BrittaJensen-jr4bc]

Tak for din tid til at invitere indenfor til et kik med i alle dine skønne projekttasker, med det ene dejlige projekt efter det andet. Nu du spørger, så ønsker jeg at du, om muligt, spiller "Hænderne". Uden dem er mangt og meget i verden ikke muligt.

[@mayanneuloosit9436]

Hi! This is my first time commenting, but I’m keen to see how the anthology blanket is going, because i have had the exact same thought/idea to just make the increase lace rounds! I have been following you for about a month now, just binge watching your videos has been a blast! I will suggest a song i just love! It’s called “Just us” by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, it’s from the movie soul! Have a nice week!🫶🏻

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

Thank you so much! So far the Throw is looking like it’s working just fine. So fingers crossed😊 Thank you for watching and have a great week🎵💖

[@Connie-Rask]

linedanser, det er min ide til dig

[@Kera.S.]

Maybe you could choose a fall/winter/themed movie and play some of the soundtrack from it. The are usually so well composed and go well together. I very much enjoyed your podcast episode. TFS 💙 Does your friends sock club ship to the US? I can't get enough sock knitting these days and am looking for a good club to join. If anyone has suggestions, please share.

[@ThePlayfulKnitter]

I’m sure does but must admit I haven’t asked😊 I think Ahomespunhouse has a monthly club and then there’s always Yarnable - if they have spots available. But you can sign up to be notified. I’d get that if I were in the States😊 I love clubs. Always fun with a surprise🤩

[@Kera.S.]

@@ThePlayfulKnitter thank you so much, I got on the wait list and will keep looking for others too. 💙

[@jeanettewochner]

Der er da gået en håndfarver tabt i dig. Ej synes bare, at det er så gavmildt af dig, at give det blå garn væk. Så krydser fingre. Jeg syntes, at du skal vælge nogle smukke danske sange, til Pias "strik-samnen" Hvad med Kim Larsen. "Jutlandia" som i den grad er aktuelt, med den ufred vi har. ❤❤
