  • Hello friends, and welcome to a new knitting episode from me - a slightly windy one, at first. I hope you will be OK with the 'ambient' noise. The wind gradually dies down, only to be replaced by a little medley of birds and city sounds toward the end, but you should be able to hear me. Such is the price of sitting outside. I hope all is well with you and that you are finding joy in your knitting and whatever else is in your life right now. (I've tried adding chapters this time and hope it works).
    CHAPTERS:
    00.00 Flowery intro
    00.36 Introduction
    2.01 Quote + ramble about change & awe
    07.03 Thank you + thoughts on mindset
    11.19 Finished object no 1 - Trellis Sweater
    21.26 Finished object no 2 - Crystal
    42.13 First new acquisition - mulberry silk from AKW + intro to new cast-on
    45.45 New cast-on - ample tee
    52.14 Second acquisition - Nutiden yarn
    54.19 Third acquisition - needle binder
    01.03.10 Footage from knitting festival with Lærke from Fibertales

    Hi Helle, my favorite thing to do is watch knitting podcasts. Yours is the one I look forward to the most. Not just for the knitting but because of your beautiful spirt. I love your content, your quotes and stories are up lifting. We attract what we send into the world 💕

    I had to pause the video at the introduction so I could write this down before I forget to.... talking about people leaving and what have you.... what I love about your podcast is that you always give us something to think about. Knitting can sometimes be mindless when we need to relax and not fret about things... Cleansing of our souls. But often your comments come back to me during those times and I really think about them and explore them. So I'm in for anything you feel like chatting about. I work from home and don't interact with a lot of people most days so it's good to hear other people's thoughts and moments of awe. And those girls that made the archway over the little boy....I want to hug every one of them. That was very special.

    Dear Helle, so lovely to sit with you again! Your garden is beautiful and was such a privilege to see! I enjoy listening to your ramblings and musings and only regret that we cannot have a true conversation - you spark so much thought and there is never enough space to write it all here. Your knits are as always true works of art and once again, without wanting to slight anyone, your interpretation is often more beautiful than the designers (to me)😊. I love all the pinks- the nutiden looks like cotton candy😂. Adorable cat, so nice to have him stop by.

It’s this that brings me back. I also find it refreshing to have a successful podcaster who isn’t always flogging a product. I respect your selectivity in sharing. And I now have serious Thread and Maple envy!! 😂

    Helle, I adore your channel. I began watching you over a year ago for the musings, travel videos, and beautiful Danish scenery. I have kept watching for all of that plus your knitting content. You are such a skilled knitter and the garments that you select are the type of items that I would want to have in my wardrobe. In fact, your knitting has inspired me to get back into knitting and I am now happily knitting *too* many sweaters (all of which I absolutely love). Thank you for creating this space and I hope that you continue to make this joyful mix of content for as long as you enjoy doing so.

    What an inspiring post. I always look forward to your quotes, and your musings on them. When you mentioned that some have unsubscribed, my first though was that those individuals were not genuinely part of your "tribe". I've begun to realize as I age, that the people I keep close, my "Tribe", are the ones that accept all of me, listen and truly hear what I say, and love me sometimes in spite of that. I will consider myself part of your tribe, as I enjoy all your posts, and have often delved into your quotes and recommendations on my own. Thank you! Kim

    As always, your knitting projects are stunning and timeless. Your Nutiden yarn looks so airy. I hope you will be able to wear the finished item.
    I didn't know Thread & Maple was Canadian. One day, I may level up ... they recently came out with crochet binders, which were brand specific as grip styles vary. They are beautiful. Many thanks for sharing your gift with us. I do prefer content creators who limit their product reviews, etc, to items they actually use.

    I am here for the musings❤😊. The knitting is just a bonus! Look forward to the next one!
    I am one who prefers bottom up and even seamed knitting to having a heavy load on my needles though, so I always get excited when someone shows a bottom-up pattern! I like doing sleeves first. They are my gauge swatches and so much easier to knit on their own. I am also adhd, so it helps to finish parts and break up my accomplishments😂. That leads to my next incentive, I always add my own twist. Patterns are for direction and information on the "how to" do a shape or stitch pattern..... but the end product for me has to be a creative spatial adventure or.... I lose interest. I am 60 and just finally learning to accept that about myself now. It has made my fiber endeavors so much more fun and enduring and... meditative, something also new to me❤.

    "Can I just show you the cat?" That is literally me in a sentence, lol. Thank you for another wonderful, thoughtful and enjoyable episode. Every time I watch your videos (and not just the knitting ones) I remember my weeks in Sæby and Frederikshavn a few years back with such fondness. Your garden is reminiscent of that time for me and so different from what I have here at home in California. How lovely that something as simple (or not so simple sometimes) as knitting can put us in the same room even though we're miles apart.

    Nice to see you here again, I had been thinking it was time. This week I bought a ticket to a yarn event called Sacred Sheep that does not happen until November, a commitment to continued year round knitting. Maybe a visit to The Lamb and Kid before November. In the meantime, I am readying items to be entered in our small county fair, pushing myself to finish at least one of the two sweaters in my WIP category. It is certainly possible to complete both if I manage to avoid distractions. Your soft shades are lovely and suit you so well. I do like the metaphor of rugs and change. XX

I don’t have many people in my life that are able to so eloquently express themselves. As for what I’m knitting, I’m currently working on The Timepiece Cardigan by Ailbione McLachlainn. It would be a perfect match for your Nutiden. Just sayin’. 😊 I’m using some deep stash Noro Cash Iroha in a lovely pastel violet shade. I’m very happy with how it’s knitting up.

    Your finished sweaters are lovely. The colours are ethereal looking. I took note of your "notes" on the pattern, and I do the same thing. I always have a printed pattern with check boxes and keep track of rows. I usually use a yellow sticky note on the pattern so that I don't mess it all up. LOL. Thanks for explaining the Crystal top. I really love it but I don't like doing bottom up at all. I did a cardigan and it turned out too long, but nothing I can do about it or want to do about it. Rosie

    Thank you Helle for another lovely episode. I watched it in bits here and there, as I have been so busy lately that I couldn't watch it one go. Regardless, it is always a pleasure spending time with you, listening to your quotes, your musings and hear about your projects and your plans. I love the fact that you bring so many different aspects of yourself and various interests in your podcast 🤍 I always learn something new. You ased what we are knitting - in my case the Kore cardigan by Natasja Hornby (and now I am particularly curious about the meaning of Kore...) it was meant to be my summer cardigan this year, but as I am based in Scotland it will lilely be used next spring/summer as I've only split for the body yesterday. Never mind, let's see how far I can get before it's time for winter patterns. By the way, both of your finished sweaters are gorgeous!

    Your finished projects are beautiful as always. Your garden is gorgeous, I love the color palette - pink! Have you seen the summer pattern Suri Shirt. It does seem like your aesthetic. I made one in a beautiful cotton and merino Knitting for Olive in the Aqua colorway and love wearing it. The cotton merino is great for Texas. Thanks for showing off your Thread and Maple needle holder. A few friends have them (in other states) and they love them. I’m thinking I need to investigate this for myself. Hope you have a lovely summer and thanks for the quote - it’s a good one.

    My first thought, upon seeing the beautiful AKW silk was "Ample Tee" and I'm so happy you're knitting it as well :)

    I’d be interested if you find US 9 in 12 inch circular needles. The largest I’ve found is a US 8. Enjoyed the podcast. I hope you continue to post what you want when you want. I’m a little afraid that you’ll get discouraged and not want to podcast. There are very few people who actually discuss their knitting process in enough detail that I can decide if I’m interested in a specific pattern or yarn. Thanks for continuing. Deb in Florida

    A very beautiful episode visually - your garden in spring is stunning . Always savor your thoughtful words and enjoy your knitting. I was weaving in ends on my Cloud Sweater in Sandnes Garn Kos - Dutch Blue colorway. I love the results - my first Petite Knit pattern and now I understand why her designs are so popular.

    Hello Helle, I was so excited to see a new podcast out and it coincided with a quiet afternoon, paired with my knitting. Your Trellis sweater is so beautiful and I went immediately to Knitters World. Ordered 6 skeins of fluffy. Hoping that is enough for size medium as I found pattern yarn amounts a bit confusing. As an aside, your roses and peonies are magnificent 💕🌸 Gillian in Canada 🇨🇦

    If you could film you organizing your needles in the binder. I could benefit from something like this but am afraid it will get too bulky. Thanks. Love your style and vibe!!

    Hi Helle love ALL your podcasts as always. I even passed the last one on to my husband - very thought provoking!
    I’ve been lusting after that Thread & Maple binder for awhile and I’m glad to see that you now have one. I would love to hear how you are making use of it.
    Any trips planned soon? Love your travel casts as well!

    Hi Helle, I really appreciate your comments on yarn and how it feels next to skin, as I have very sensitive skin too and often find even very luxurious and fine yarns irritate my skin. Les Garçons have a fluffy yarn now, which may be similar to the fluffy yarn you talked about in your new sweater. I have picked up a few skeins, which I think I will use in a shawl to test it out. It’s expensive, but will be worth it if I can wear it next to skin. I have one of Thread and Maple’s to go kits and I love it. It goes everywhere with me.

    Thank you especially for the sweet story about the children.

    Also saying bye to friends who have somehow closed their doors or elicited a negative emotion is a very challenging cascading feeling. Marketing uses statistics to our advantage or disadvantage. I don’t subscribe to channels nevertheless I really enjoy your complex personal and knitting thoughts!

    Hi Helle, like so many others I love watching your podcast while knitting myself. Look forward to seeing your ample tee. I finished mine this spring and like it a lot. Just wished I had added a few more short rows for a better fit around my neck.

    The birds sounded beautiful, however, with the traffic and wind noise, all of them together made it harder for me to hear you. I'm getting old, hearing is not as good as it use to be. I love hearing the things you talk about and I love your garden. Great projects.

    Helle, your channel is thoughtful, gentle and filled with things that you love, whether it's a quote, travel, your beautiful knitting or what's inspiring you.. I think the youtube analytics can be helpful but are not a reflection of the value of an episode. It's not personal. People leave an episode for many reasons that have nothing to do with its content. There's a popular quote by Mel Robbins you might find helpful..Let Them. Essentially it talks about people leaving or not including you...let them..then you can decide how you want to move forward. ❤

    Helle, as you say musings. When talking to friends we dont practice or act out or orchestrate our conversation (some might😂) Its about what comes to mind to tell the listener/friend, at that particular moment of time. And how it relates to our love of what we do in our craft. ❤

If only my Great grandparents stayed in Denmark 🤔 Love your aesthetic!! So inspiring! I also have a channel so I get what you’re saying about people leaving. But I also say yes to authenticity. Come-go, it’s all good!! Namaste 🙏 ❤

    Hello Helle, I want to take the time to thank you for your reflective sharing, both technical and personal. I suppose its inevitable that you will be unsettled by negative comments or people leaving your podcast but be true to yourself: what you offer is of tremendous value because you put yourself into it. That is more than enough. Those of us who are drawn to your generous nature really value your generous spirit and, if it's not too bold, count you as a secret friend. Thank you.
