    Hi, I was diagnosed with PTSD a few years ago and my therapist suggested knitting to calm my anxiety. I started knitting in January and so far I’ve made a hat, a shawl, a cowl and pair of fingerless mittens. Im loving it. It’s working wonders for my mental health. I’m now making my first jumper and my ultimate goal is to knit your arctic light sweater. One day 🤞🏽. Im so thankful for all the videos that you do. They are very inspirational and educational. 😊

    Hi Kutovakika, thank you for your positivity and enjoyment in knitting, it's contagious! I crochet for many years and started knitting a few years ago as I felt with knitting I have much more options. I started with a big project, a poncho, and it took me a long time and many attempts to finish it, but I learned so much during this process. Since then, I am working on smaller projects such as slippers for me and my partner out of feling wool, headbands for me and my daughters and a baby colourwork cardigan for a friend at the moment. Knitting gives me so much enjoyment, every morning I wake up and am looking forward to continue with my projects*

    Hi Kika! I was taught the basics of knitting by my grandmother when I was little and my mother used to knit my sister and I one of a kind sweaters. They were and still are very much into knitting 🧶 I have always been one to try and alter my clothing. Over the past few years, I’ve been really unsatisfied with the clothing I bought, so I learned how to sew shirts and blouses. That’s when I fell in love with creating a garment to my specific taste. I started to knit again just last year and asked my mother to refresh my memory and share her tips 🥰 I currently love knitting sweaters and am going to try to make a cardigan next. Congratulation on your book and thank you for the very inspiring videos you share here on youtube!

    My favorite thing to knit is sweaters for the dogs I foster! They often come emaciated and in poor condition, so they need something soft and snuggly to keep them warm in these cold Midwestern winters while I help them find their forever homes.
    Thank you Kika for so many amazing and detailed tutorials! I was only knitting simple hats and scarves for so long because I never thought I was an advanced enough knitter to do anything else. Your channel has built my confidence as a knitter so much, now I can knit so many beautiful and trendy clothing items for me and my loved ones! Your videos have helped me so much, I’m so grateful!!!!

      Hi Kika
      I knit jumpers and cardigans mostly.
      I learned to knit when I was doing my post graduation and I learned simple knit and purl from my mom who at that time can’t see. She was so excited to make me learn that she would teach me with her fingers instead of needles and wool so that I understand properly. And I was also so determined to learn that I tried my best to follow her instructions fully. Then when I started knitting after learning the basics from her I found knitting to be very calming and good for my mental health. The clicking sound of knitting needles is very relaxing and if I concentrate to just listen to this sound its like meditation. And finally when I hold the piece I have knitted in my hands it gives a creative satisfaction.
      Thanks

    Hello Kika and fellow knitters in the comments section!
    I love to knit anything. I'm very easy in this 😂 I've knit scarfs, sweaters, tops and hats. Also a lot of fingerless mittens. I finished some mittens and hats and have been getting requests since. Lucky me, I get to knit for the people around me 😊
    Only two things I have not tried is knitting a pair of pants, and knitting a pair of socks. But I will get to it sometime :)
    I'm always happy to see a new video of you, I check every few days to see if you've uploaded again. It soothes my urge for some inspiration and I don't have any knitters around me (yet).
    I hope you and the other knitters here have a great week!

    I love knitting baby blankets for my friends and family. They are very personalized and I enjoy trying out new techniques on blankets along with giving the parents a personal gift that can last them generations. My grandmother taught me how to knit when I was in middle school and it's been a way to feel closer to her even though she is no longer with us.
    I have been inspired by your videos to make sweaters since I have always struggled with them. To this day, I have never successfully knit a sweater. However, I am excited to knit this sweater. It's so beautiful and would push my limits as a knitter.

    I was taught how to knit by my grandmother when I was 5, but during my teenage years I didn’t do much knitting because I was living in a hot country. Now that I live in the UK I’ve taken on several jumper projects! This year has been quite knitting-heavy, and I’m now at a level where I’m comfortable making my own patterns! I tend to prefer chunky knits but with spring right around the corner I’ve started knitting with light cotton yarn weights, I have my first cotton blend cardigan in my WIP. Your works inspire me to take on more complicated projects!

    Hi, I am still a beginner knitter, I'm a far more experienced crocheter but I was tired of not finding a "home wear" sweater to wear when I do yoga I outside in the morning and I decided to remember what my grandma taught me years ago. Honestly circular needles kind of scared me at first, my brain couldn't process how they where connected but now surely are an amazing tool!
    Recently I am mixing and matching knitting and crochet, so right now I use knitting for ribbing or sweater vest :D

Knitting has been my way of de-stressing after working from home with two kids. When I hold my needles and yarn, I feel at peace. I am so glad I found my love for yarn as I finally have a passion and ultimate source of joy (apart from my family of course! :D). I enjoy working on sweater, cardigan, and tops. You're the first knitter-vlogger I watched and I trully enjoy your mood and your works. As a beginner, I'd love to explore more with knitting and improve my skills

    Hello Kika, Watching your tutorials and vlogs is always for me like a breath of fresh air. I love your designs and I admire your skills. I have to add that in one of your vlogs you briefly showed us around your beautiful city - Helsinki which I found very interesting. I have been knitting and crocheting since I was not even 10 years old (about 65 years ago!!!!). My first knitting project was a dining table size lacy tablecloth . I am still proud of it even though this type of tablecloth is now out of fashion. My mother was my teacher (I was born and grew up in Poland). I started knitting dresses, skirts and cardigans. I moved to the US and did not do much for quite a while. Recently I started knitting and crocheting shawls, scarves and hats. I have given them away to my relatives and friends and kept some for myself. I find knitting and crocheting very therapeutic. I would love to knit one of your sweaters but living in Southern California I rarely wear the type of sweaters you knit. However, I have knitted 2 of your Lola tops which I really like. Now that I am retired I go to Europe every year for six months. Yarn stores have been closing in the US and you have to shop at discount hobby stores but I love colours and always look for something different. I am wishing you all the very best. M

    I love knitting sweaters and socks, plus some occasional doll clothes and dolls. I love working with tiny stitches when knitting a sock. I love how small&intricate the colorworks, cables and textures can be. However I like thicker and squishier yarns when knitting sweaters, since I love the look and the feeling of wearing a giant blanket so, so much. Since I am obsessed with perfection in almost everything I do, accepting unraveling my knits and the fact that mistakes are fixable no matter how long it takes helped me a lot on it. Happy knitting, Kika. Your videos are truly enjoyable and inspiring. Sending love from Korea💕

    Hi Kutovakika..Your Arctic Light Sweater is stunning. I have always wanted to knit this type of sweater and never quite found the pattern. This is the one!

    I have knitted a lot of pullover as I was a student. The last years I knitted only socks, but now I started to knit a pullover again and I am so happy about it. 😍

    I like to knit sweaters. I just started knitting after 40 years of working and raising my children. I was taught to knit by my great aunts when I was a little girl. I forgot how much I loved it. It was your video on knitting and crocheting your wedding dress that motivated me to knit again. Thank you!! ❤

    My knitting story started long ago as a kid, when my Granma knitted socks for the whole family and taught me to knit simple things like scarfs. I was too young that time to learn how to knit socks, and I didn't learn from her this her main skill. Decades after that, 6 years ago, in the times of huge problems (2 surgeries and some my close relatives passed away - all in quite short time), I returned to knitting as the way of stress relief and learnt knitting socks from Internet masterclasses. Now it is already me who knits socks for the whole family (and doing that I feel closer to my beloved Grandma). I also knit scarves, hats, simple mittens etc. Aaaand you inspired for my first sweater, which I a finishing now. Thank you for you positive and inspiring videos❤

    Hi, I grow up with knitting, because my mother knits a lot. For a long time I only knit scarfs and here and there a sock. Since december I startet to knit sweaters. That was the time, when I found your motivating videos, that helped me al lot.

    Hi Kika! I love your vlog! I started crocheting at 6 when I fell and cut open by wrist which resulted in having to wear a cast for about 6 months. My kindergarten teacher was Polish and taught me to crochet. By the time I was 17, I had taught myself to knit and my first project was a sweater from Vogue Knitting! Now I knit a lot of different items - baby and children's wear, sweaters, shawls, hats - all kinds of things! I love your aesthetic, and your videos. Thanks for all the yarn-y fun!

    Hi Kutovakika, I started out with crochet but have finally got the hang of knitting without losing or gaining stitches unintentionally. My Mum was always knitting something or other, and I love the fact it's one of the many things she taught me. Thank you for your wonderful videos. It's a cosy rainy day here and I'm enjoying making cardigans ATM 😊

    I've been knitting for many years, but at 75 with very arthritic hands,I don't know how much longer I'll be able to continue. It's the one thing about getting old that ticks me off. Anyhoo, over the years I've gone through phases of only wanting to knit one item. I had my sweater phase, cowl phase, shawl phase, sock phase and now I'm back to a sweater phase with some shawls thrown in. Your patterns re so beautiful I suspect my current sweater obsession will last a long time. 😊

    What I prefer as a knitter: Im still exploring that! What I enjoyed about doing the Arctic Light Sweater knit along was that Im (kind of) still a beginner, and by following your video tutorials it helped give me the confidence I needed to tackle a more ambitious project. After I finish the sweater I’m going to start your Lola top!
    This will be the *second* 🎉 sweater I’ve ever made, and I really enjoyed it!! Reading patterns seem a bit daunting to me at first, BUT having a video tutorial that I can follow along and learn has really helped improved my reading skills.
    I love how knitting has become part of my morning routine as I drink my coffee and relax. This has been such a wonderful hobby that has really added to my quality of life.
    I appreciate all the hard work, attention to detail, and love you’ve poured into your videos and tutorials!! Thank you so much for making knitting more accessible for the rest of us!

    I started to knit as a way to help connect with my grandmother who passed away a couple of years ago. I enjoy knitting garments whether it be for myself or to give away to friends and family. Your videos have been crucial in helping me develop my knitting skills and are my go-to videos when I don't know what to watch. Thank you Kika for always being so enthusiastic and inspirational. 😄

    I'm a very casual knitter and I used to knit simple mittens and socks but I have tried to challenge myself as I have gotten older. At the moment I'm in love with lace socks and I started knitting my very first sweater! It's a simple pattern but if it goes well, I might collect enough courage for knitting the Arctic Light sweater. I have felt that I'm not skillful enough for a big and expensive project like that but hopefully it will be possible to do in the near future :3
    Thanks for your very inspiring videos! It has been a joy to watch you creating new designs and knit new projects 🌺

    I loved knitting socks, still do, but in the end of 2022 I started knitting a blouse and a sweater, I really liked knitting those, but the patterns where not the greatest for what I like. In the beginning of 2023 I knitted my first raglan sweater and I really really love the proces of knitting a top down raglan. I think the raglan increases are working nice for my bodytype and I find it really satisfying to knit! Due to a recovering proces I'm in, I have a lot of time to knit, and I think it's great that I'm in to sweaters now. because they take longer. (I mean you can't have to many handknitted socks, but I and my family are getting pretty close to have to much knitted socks😂🤣)
    Thank you for all the time you put in hosting this knit along. I don't feel ready to knit a cable sweater at the moment, but I've learned a lot watching these video's and I started working on a shawl with one cable on the side, I'm almost finished and I can't wait to block it. So perfect timing🥰

    My favourite thing to knit is definitely socks! I have knitted a couple of sweaters, but as a student I rarely have the possibility to buy larger amounts of yarn needed to make a sweater. Socks are so affordable and quick to knit 😊

    I only really started knitting last autumn/winter (but learned the basics in primary school) and became kind of obsessed with it 😅I've made a scarf, a sweater, a sweater vest, a cardigan, a pair of socks and some other smaller things, but so far I've enjoyed knitttig bigger garments the most! There's just something so exciting about it and so satisfying when you finish it! I've been also sewing for a few years so now it's nice to have WIPs for different crafts that I can pick up and work on whenever I get bored or frustrated with one of them. Your videos really keep me motivated and I love rewatching them whenever I'm knitting myself, they are just so uplifting! Thank you for that! 💚

    I learned to knit and crochet as a young girl but stopped for many years. About 10 years ago I started to crochet again and loved it. Earlier this year, thanks to you and a few others on You Tube I started knitting . I learned continental knitting and am making a sweater. Thanks for the inspiration to learn a different style of knitting and for your enthusiasm for knitting. The first video of yours I saw was you creating your wedding dress!

    Hej, I started knitting when I was little and got taught by my grandma. As I grew older I started knitting a lot of socks and scarves. When my friends started having babies I knitted starter kits for them (baby hat, shoes, mittens etc.). Now I enjoy knitting sweaters, hats and socks, depending on my mood and time but usually I have several projects at once for each occasion. And just loving a day on the couch with tea and my knitting needles 🥰

    I have knitted all the family Christmas stockings. My granddaughter was born this past summer, and I have knitted a stroller blanket as my first project for her. I knitted a matching hat and headband for her and my daughter, and a toddler sweater with matching mittens and hat for next winter. I have a lot of trepidation about knitting sweaters for adults but so love your arctic light sweater. I ordered the pattern this February and hope to start the sweater this summer when I finish teaching. I am sure I will be rewatching this series in June (for your moral support 🙂). Love your channel.

    I recently got back into knitting and crocheting after years of struggling with depression and losing interest in my hobbies. But I recently became a mom and moved to a colder place, so I finally have so much more motivation to knit again! I finally feel my creativity has returned and am so excited to make up for lost time! Also knitting is so good to destress and get me excited about each day. So far I am really loving knitting for my baby boy (have done blanket, romper, & hat), and hats for my husband. But my goal for this year is to make more things for myself haha. Thanks for sharing your knitting and patterns! they are lovely!

    I learned to knit when I was about 7, but only 3 years ago I started really getting into it. That's when I knitted my first sweater (which is not really wearable 😅), but since then I love knitting sweaters the most, because it's such a slow process and it's very satisfying to see the result

    Dear Kika,
    thank you very much for being here with and for us.
    Your inspiration and the positive vibes you send me with every new video enlighten my day and make my life always better.
    I have learnt from you how to knit top down sweaters and I LOVE it. I guess I am more or less a sweater knitter.
    A friend of mine from Finland sent me your video in which you made your dress for your marriage yourself. It was so amazing, I felt as if it was my own marriage. Congratulations to you and your husband.
    Wishing you all the best I look forward to every new video and send you kindest greetings.
    Brigitte ❤
