Yay! It's so good to see you again! I really enjoyed this video. Honestly didn't notice a lack of preparedness, any video is appreciated. Congrats on the new house! 🎉

So glad you are back! I've missed your podcasts. I truly appreciate the vulnerability you bring. I enjoy what you have to say regardless of production value or the "type" of content you bring. Congratulations on your home purchase as well. Best wishes!

Feel the same, and I think a lot of people do. Sometimes you have to concentrate on other things that are joyful as well. I came back the 27th of december. I I honestly think I did not miss that much. There is a difference between people that try to make a living with knitting and people that are in for the fun of it. But I think the more proffesional people get, the more boring? That is just my mindset. I like people just talking about their knitting. I try to concentrate on what I want to make, and sometimes it takes time, because I am waiting for the right yarn or the right time. I am not worried a bit about not finishing. All in good time. This christmas I put on a knit I made in spring 2023 and did not wear it till now. I really loved it. Having plans to make another with the yarn I should have made it with. It will be totally different. You do not catch that in You tube or Instagram. You just experience the joy of knitwear in your own life. And that is the fun of it. Well for me off course, everybody is different and that is a good thing too. Hope to see you again, whenever that will be. No worries🙋🏼‍♀️

Your presence is refreshing. I am knitting while watching and don’t really care about a bunch of extras. If it brings you joy to be here and share, I will find joy in listening to you and seeing the pretty things you make. I actually prefer that you aren’t pushing a bunch of stuff to buy and using your stash. And I am about at the time that I tune out of RUclips and Instagram because I am not a fast knitter and when everyone posts their “I made 100 sweaters this year” videos, it makes me feel sad and inadequate. I learned last year that if I want to continue to love this craft, I have to stop consuming that sort of content. So when I was knitting last night, the 28th of Dec, I came back to your channel and re-watched you. Congratulations on your new home and this season of life is quite rich and fulfilling, but naturally won’t have as much down time and that’s ok. Enjoy your real life and we will all be delighted if it ever brings you joy to share a video of your makes with us.

It was great to see you on RUclips again. Yours is my favourite podcast and I really hope that we see you making more videos again soon. Congratulations on the new house and happy new year

So happy to see you back podcasting and it was a lovely one. Do whatever works for you and your life, the video was lovely. ❤

Just happy that you are back! Don't put pressure on yourself making everything look perfect♥

Don't lower yours standards!!! Just be aware that your standards can not apply to all of the things you value in your life at the same time. That is too much. Sometimes there is room for this and sometimes it is something else. But to me you seem to be a person who knows what comes first. Your future and your happiness are very close to you. The rest is important, of course. But sometimes there are these choises that are inevitable to make. It will be oké, no doubt. Maybe not in the way you could have imagened, but nevetheless it will be oké.

So happy to see you back - I had missed you ❤ Congratulations on your new house and I understand how time consuming it is to make your house into a home but you’ll get there in the end! Your podcast style today has been lovely and you’re right it’s like meeting up for coffee, a chat and some knitting ❤

Thankyou enjoy your podcast congratulations on your new home. Happy holidays

Thanks for an always so inspiring episode💓 Greetings from sweden

Congratulations on your new home! So glad to see you back, on the terms that work for you and your schedule <3

Congratulations on your new home! Honestly... I'm really relieved that your absence was for a happy reason. I've always admired your ethic and drive to do the best at what you do and please your audience. That being said it's really not necessary if you're not enjoying yourself. Speaking only for myself.I enjoy watching knitting podcast.Because I like to knit and I don't know anybody who does. So you're my virtual friend. Even though you didn't know it.🤗

Happy to see you again. Searched for you. Have a nice christmas and a happy and healthy new year!!💚💙💜 Congratulations to the house, it is always a nice and busy project to have a house by your own.

So happy to see you back, in whatever format. You do you and we love it. So please quit the perfectionism, it only makes you unhappy. And congratulations with your house ! Wish you all the best and hope to see you soon for a knitty chat.

Lovely to see you again! Congratulations on your first house - how exciting!! I appreciate your philosophy about posting and social media influencing. I only watch RUclips and rarely use Pinterest anymore, but even with podcasts, I do tire a bit of all the advertising. I’ve also recently moved to a new house, which needs a lot of expensive repairs, and am re-starting my career in a new country, which means some financial setbacks for a while… I will remain on my no-buy phase for as long as necessary. I like your question of “is THIS really the project that I want to break my pact for?” Generally, the answer will be no. I own 2 beautiful knitting books, own many patterns, have a library source and have a large stash of somewhat random yarn. I can always find a beautiful project with those resources and consider myself lucky. Enjoy your first Christmas in your new home!😊

I will miss you but it takes a lot of time and energy to take care of a house so I totally understand!

Hi Vanissia! I'm a smei new subscriber but I have been binge watching your content over the last month. Congratulations on buying a new house! 🤩It takes a lot of creative energy to find places for all the furniture and decoration. But it's so rewarding too! I usually watch YT videos on my phone and usually I'm also knitting while I'm watching/listening, so I didn't notice any problems with quality. I prefer casual and chatty videos, so I hope that you keep making videos without too much stressing over notes or looks or kamera/sound tech.💚

Glad to see you back! Your adventures sound exciting -- I remember well the whirlwind of homebuying. I'll be glad to catch up when you're free and happy to film, and I'd love to hear about what you're discovering in home deco and repair if you're glad to share!

Welcome back! No need of perfection! Just be yourself! ❤

So lovely to see you again! Congratulations on buying a house. Such a cool project to get started on! I’m actually quite shocked about how good the video quality is for being the front camera. I wouldn’t mind watching this every time. Love the laid back, chatty format. Those are my favourite podcasts because I feel like I’m just hanging out with a friend ❤

Je comprends tellement ta situation, cela fait un an que je suis Designer tricot et je suis tellement épuisé des réseaux sociaux et de l'auto-promotion.. very tiring

So happy you're back! 😊 I really like your content, and the quality of this video is more than enough. In the end, we just want to catch up with you and be inspired, and the way you do it, being so mindful of your acquisitions is just perfect. Thank you so much!❤

Congratulations on your new house! I enjoy your podcast just because it is laid back and ad free. I like to knit while I watch/listen, so it feels like sort of relaxed knitting together time. No need to be a perfectionist podcast wise as far as I am concerned, way more important that you enjoy it, and don’t feel pressured or stressed. Thanks for the update and sharing of projects!

I wondered where you were. It is such an exciting time for you. Enjoy. I am glad to hear that you are going to relax a bit on your expectations of yourself.

Yay welcome back! I think the turquoise coloured yarn looks great, not too marled, gives it nice depth. Well done on being so disciplined in not buying yarn! Oh just watched the end of the video. I think this video was great! You're still very detailed and meticulous in your reviews, and I'm sure your followers (like myself) appreciate your candor about patterns and yarn etc. Happy to watch whatever content you do manage to make, I do love your stash busting content though (like your 1-2 skein project round ups) ❤ congrats on the new house!!

Thank you for all your words about podcasts and standards and the pressure about being good enough. The quality of this video is still very nice.

Welcome back Vanissia! I’ve missed you. Congratulations on your new home, I hope you and Ross will be very happy there. I enjoyed your podcast, there was no need to be nervous, you did great. Completely understandable you had to slow down, moving house is very stressful and it is exciting redecorating and putting your own stamp on it. It’ll be great to hear more about it in future podcasts. I love your Foxberry pullover, I think the colour looks great! 😊

No schedule needed! You're awesome whenever ❤️ and it's s fun to see what you're up to and hear your insights on patterns and projects! Take care!

Congrats to you and Ross! 🎉And also very happy and a bit relieved to hear you are doing well ☺️. No worries about showing less or filming less. I’ll be happy to hear from your knitting life and life whenever you find the time. It’s very relatable to have “life getting in the way”, so no worries about that 🙂. Knitting is not a race. Also thanks for our thoughts on influencing and overconsumption, it resonated with me. Of course podcasting can be a lot of work, so I also understand why some people accept sponsorships, but I try to avoid ads and often skip them.

I'm already doing the Oslo hat with a pattern. Make sure that you make the brim larger. Otherwise, the threefold will be too tight on the head if you want to include a pattern on the outside fold. There's not that much space for a pattern on the rest of the hat, if you do the pattern outside the brim only, so keep that in mind. That is what I have found. Looking forward to what you come up with. 🎉

Wow, congratulations on the house purchase! I’m not sure why you think this video is not good quality. It looked perfect to me. Please podcast whenever you want, show whatever you want. You were missed and I’m so glad that the reason you were away is so wonderful. Thanks for making your videos. Podcasters are so brave.

I adore you, your content, and knits! I moved this summer as well and it really made my knitting take a back seat. I’m just getting back in my grove making a dishcloth and remembering that it’s supposed to be fun! Your projects are always top tier and require a lot of thought. I will always keep coming back whenever you have time and feel like sharing! Happy holidays from Canada!

This video is a warm welcome. Stay true to yourself. Anytime you podcast I'll get a reminder and joyfully watch. Congratulations on your new home. Betty

Lovely to see you back here Vanissia- you were missed! I’m sure we will all be happy to see your videos whenever you have the time and energy to film them. Don’t put any pressure on yourself - none of us want that!! I love seeing whatever you’ve been working on and hearing about what you’ve been up to, and like some others have mentioned it would be fun to hear about ‘new house’ things as well 😊.

Congratulations on your new home! It's so nice to see you back.

So good, that you are back! It was a great video and everything is okay, with you, the content, the scenery and all! Greetings and congratulations from Germany.

Lovely to see you back, so glad you’ve been missing for an exciting reason! Love the idea of a catch up over coffee video.

Glad that you are back! We love you the way you are!

I'm glad to see you're back! I agree with others- happy to see you and what you're doing anytime and personally I prefer a laidback and chatty style. Content creators are always talking about their lighting and background etc. but I never even notice that kinda stuff unless it's so bad you can't see what they're holding up or something. Congrats on the new home and good luck with all your house projects!

🎉 glad you were absent for good things in your life and happy to see you pop up again! Honestly the thing you say at the end about “I want it to be like we met up for coffee” is the reason I’ve watched your videos for so long. You do you best. Keep doing it.

🧶🌈❤️ thank you so much for your honesty. And please feel free as you want - I love to watch your videos and don’t need more info and preparation if you don‘t have time or the head (I don‘t know if that’s the right expression, sorry). See you and have a good time

It's so good to see a new video from you! You've been missed ❤ And congrats on becoming a homeowner - how exciting!

Great to see you again. Your video was perfect as usual love to see your latest projects. Congrats on your new home hope you have many happy years there and have a lovely Christmas 😊

It’s so so lovely to see you! What’s most important to me as a dedicated viewer of this podcast is that you are well - physically, mentally, and emotionally. I’m so glad to know you’ve got a new home. It really is so fun to get into interior decorating 😂 I love this format of the podcast as much as I loved its previous iterations. Keep doing what feels right to you. As I saw another comment say, we watch because we enjoy your personality and style. I also relate heavily to not missing social media. I deleted my Instagram and Facebook 4 years ago now and do not miss them at all. I only wish there wasn’t so much knitting content on Instagram because I feel left out of the community sometimes! But watching RUclips, exploring Pinterest, and joining Discord servers are the ways I’ve been able to most healthily engage with social media. And last, I’m loving everything you’re working on! Especially your advent shawl. I might have to ask for that kit, the colors are so gorgeous. I so appreciate how you emphasize that knitting is an art, and that knitting pieces for display that are wonderful to make and beautiful to look at but don’t fit in with our wardrobe is such a brilliant idea! There are some shawls I would love to make but don’t know if I’d wear, and I think it would be nice to drape them over chairs. If you don’t post again before the holidays, merry Christmas and happy new year!!

It can be uneasy to watch a knitting podcast and see adds or sponsors everytime because it will always impact the objectivity of the podcaster. You mentioned it quite clearly while working on your sample, you could not knit and had to focus on this one thing. Just in terms of energy and creativity, if you always have specific commitments, you will have to drive your energy in a specific way and it does not reflect what you would actually be doing or talk about if you did not have them. it is less authentic in essence. I absolutely don't have a problem with people doing it for financial reasons, if they invest time and energy in this, then why not, but it is not what everyone is here for either. A hobby can be just that, and I would rather watch someone talk about their knitting experience and thoughts on specific topics, even if the lighting is not great, than watching an over-produced video that would just round up 60% of the patterns I can find on Ravelry's hot now list. ❤

So happy to see you back ❤ and so relieved your absence was for positive reasons! Congratulations on your new home, and I hope you continue to enjoy using your creativity in new ways. Love your videos just as they are and don't need bells and whistles (or more ads!). Keep being your authentic self. And Happy Holidays!

I made the hanstholm sweater for my husband and it was such a mission, he wears a large so it took forever, I had to redo the sleeves twice to get the decrease rate right for him and now the neck has stretched out so I'm going to have to work out how to take the double folded collar off and redo it. It says a lot about how good he looks in it that I can still even look at the thing!

So pleased to see you back! Congratulations on your new home 🥰 we love your podcasts whenever you have the time, love your projects and the way you break them down for us, thank you. Love your Florence Spurling shawl, I am considering the folksy shawl by her, a smaller project I think, so maybe not quite so daunting for me. Thanks again, will look forward to seeing you whenever you have the time and inclination, kind regards🙏❤
