Happy Birthday, Leena, certainly hope you enjoy a fabulous time & enjoy the reunion with your son!! Your Boxy Fade looks amazing, you chose the perfect yarns for it!!
Your tinsel comment gave me a giggle. I think you’re blessed to have such dark hair. Those of us with fair skin and lighter hair just start to look washed out once we go grey-not always, but maybe that’s just my bias!-I think silvery grey hairs in dark hair looks really pretty and sophisticated. I learned to crochet when I was a child and I think it is a lovely art as well, but I fell in love with knitting as an adult, mainly because of the challenge of it. I know there are many cool types of crochet, such as Tunisian that adds complexity to the craft, but it doesn’t stir my passion the way that knitting does. Knitting to me feels like a puzzle that wants to be solved, combined with sparking creativity, makes it irresistible.
You are so right about knitting. I don’t know why its such a satisfying art! And the look of it is so beautiful. And you are kind about the grays…its just one more thing to manage that takes time away from knitting! LOL.
Your boxy is stunning! It looks so ethereal! My children are all grown, but our middle child took a long while for them to spread their wings to leave the nest, and I thought I would be okay when they finally moved out last month, but I'm really not. Motherhood is an epic rollercoaster ride. We fool ourselves thinking it will get easier, but it doesn't because of that connection you were talking about. Motherhood is the greatest and the worst love story ever if that makes any sense whatsoever. I cherish every minute I get to see or talk to my babies. Current reading for me is my Bible. Another great episode Ms. Leena.
Hi Adriana-that struck me so much. It is the greatest and worst love story-so so so true! I suppose it might be the only type of love that teaches us to love by letting go. It is cruel, indeed. We give everything we have, and then we have to watch them fly. I’m sending you love and support in this transitional season. You will find your feet under you again very soon, I am sure. Find comfort and joy where you can.
Your lace and fade is gorgeous! I am so behind on podcasts, but yes march flew and now April is doing the same! We just had spring break and I told my daughter now until summer break will FLY by! She loves school, so the end of school crushes her sweet little spirit and many tears will be shed. And I love the summer lifestyle, but it makes me sad because each ending of a school year is a bitter reminder of how fast the years fly by. Ok I’ll stop typing now and resume watching 😂 Ok I am back! I love love your life chats at the end. The best. Mothers understand mothers in a way that no other group of people do I think. When I see in the news of another school shooting it aches in my heart thinking of those mothers, I mean writing this I have tears. Or when a child is sick I feel deeply for their mother. Even to be honest when the George Floyd tragedy happened and he called out for his mother, I think we all felt it in some way. So when one of us feels something hard we all just know. ❤❤❤
Your lace and fade boxy turned out lovely! Your latest project the knit to purl gap issue…… I’ve experienced the same thing 😩😬🤬 I’ve tried just about every option there is without great success and all I’ve learnt for myself personally, is when I transition from a k to a p, after I’ve done the p, I just give the yarn a good yank 🤭 move on and get back into flow. I’ll be excited to hear if other people have suggestions. Knitting thrills me endlessly. I’ve always been a sewer so I understand pattern design, and I think of knitting as just creating fabric. I’m obsessed💪🏻 If we do our job correctly as a mother, then we raise independent, self soothing capable adults, but that’s really hard as you watch them fly. My son is 25 and every time I see him I squeal with delight, fortunately he adores me and gives the best hugs. I have a tattoo of a lotus flower on my back and it has many meanings for me, but one I love is: “No mud, no lotus!” Happy knitting, happy birthday 🎁💕
Hi there! Ugh the knit/purl issue drives me bonkers, and sadly, none of the new-to-me techniques panned out! The search continues! I agree with you regarding our kids, and thrilled that you still have such a lovely relationship with your son. There is something special with moms and their sons!! I love the lotus! It’s a very prevalent symbol in Indian culture. I have a lotus enamel pin! My version of a tattoo!! 😂
That was so beautiful. My oldest is off to college this fall. I really needed to hear that. It’s a bitter sweet feeling and I’m trying to hold those two competing feelings of utter excitement for my son and what’s ahead and sadness knowing we’ll miss him. It’s joyfully winding down of a childhood.
Good luck to your sweet boy!! It’s the hardest thing isn’t it. We love them more than we think possible, and then we have to watch them walk away. Lots of love and strength to you. 💚🌈🪷
Another wonderful podcast! ❤ So much resonated with me again. Just last week I did the same thing with a sleeve! 😂🤣😂 I let it go as well, and I'm pretty sure no one will ever be the wiser. Your Lacy Boxy is stunning on you! My heart goes out to you as a parent having to let go. I have always been extremely close to my children, and it is bittersweet when they fly out of the nest to meet the world on their own. Of course the goal is to help them become independent and successful adults, which they all are, but the selfish me wanted them to stay clinging to my skirt and looking up with adoring eyes and needing Mama forever. 😜 It's a rush, no doubt about it. My only son, my youngest, is 27 and is living far away in NYC, and my four daughters are in their thirties and forties and are all moms themselves now. I am so proud of each of them. Seeing your children reach adulthood is such a gift, and seeing them become parents is just the cherry on top. Hope you have a lovely trip! Happy birthday! My youngest daughter turned 35 this week. March has such a beautiful birthstone! ❣️
Hi Janet! Thank you so much for your sweet message! How lucky you are to have 5 children! If I could go back, I would have tried to have more…but at the time it was so much work and felt like they would never grow up. Then suddenly time starts passing so quickly and now I’m too old! LOL. Every stage has its gifts and its challenges, doesn’t it. I just pray that they will always want me in their lives. Happy birthday to your sweet daughter! See you soon!
I will suggest Suzanne Bryan’s videos on tidy ribbing and rowing out and neat edge stitches. I took her BootCamp classes and my knitting has improved on many fronts. Your Lace boxy is beautiful! Enjoy your upcoming birthday. It is birthday week in my family too.
Hi Anjali! Someone else suggested her and it was worth its weight in gold! I can’t believe I hadn’t heard of her before. I will be watching all of her episodes. Thank you so much-and happy birthday to you too!
YES OLIVIA! Stephen West continually inspires me, surprises me, and brings me unending joy. I hope you watched his latest podcast episode. He’s just a doll! I’m glad you love him as much as I do!
Hey neighbor! Deep breaths, you’re doing a great job! It’s only because your crochet brain is still understanding how to be a knit brain. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it, haha! 🤣 😝 🤣
Nice to see you again! When I purl a stitch after a knit stitch, I purl the stitch then bring the yarn back to knitting position, give it a tug, then bring back to purling position, and continue to purl. I use this method whenever I do ribbing. It will tighten up that gap. Works for me! 😊
You can totally knit! If you can crochet, you can knit continental style. Go to your local yarn shop and take a lesson! Or just keep crocheting-it obviously loves you and doesn’t want to let you go!
You and I are so similar in our knitting choices!! I purchased the Big Rib pattern and bought the actual pink yarn used in the picture from the states (I live in England) and you purchased yarn from Qing fibre in London!! We are crazy huh?? But when you love something, nothing else will do I guess 😂 It was my birthday 2 days ago and 2 of my knitting friends bought me yarn to knit the Robina sweater by Ann ventzel! It's a very expensive pattern to knit snd I am so grateful to them but I hope I'm a good enough knitter to do it! Love your Lace and fade / I've bought yarn for it as well!! Enjoy your trip ❤
Hi there! How is that gorgeous Woolfolk yarn?? I’m so curious how it compares to Melted Baby Suri…it looks similar. The color is just stunning. Your friends are AMAZING! Never let them go!!
Hi Leena!! I watch you from an island in Spain...from your very first podcast and your episodes have turned to be one of my favourites. I love the colours you choose to knit. Your fiscal appearence is gorgeous and your energy so powerful ....you inspires me!!! I wish you a very happy birthday!!! and a favourite pattern....I have many but in order to mention one...Stripes! by Andrea Mowry...Any one from my favourite knitwear designer, Isabell Kraemer, a classical one, Yume. And another old one from Joji Locatelli, Linho. Thank you so much for sharing!!! 🤩🤩
Enjoy your birthday! 🎉 The Lace and Fade Boxy turned out beautifully ❤ Picking a favorite pattern is a challenge! I’d have to say plain vanilla socks with a Fish Lips Kiss Heel by soxtherapist - I’ve lost count on how many I’ve made!
Nothing is jumping out at me as a favorite pattern. I just finished the Moon Set Slipover and its the first garment pattern that I think I'd knit again.
❤ I am 65, a yoga instructor whose motto is keep it moving, yes, I know it hurts, but it’s a good hurt. And I wouldn’t go back for a gazillion dollars either. No way, too much wisdom gained. Too much angst I no longer have, all the good things.
hi there!! I have to say my favorite sock pattern is the Afterthought Everything socks. I love knitting tubes and afterthought heels. I don't have a favorite sweater pattern. I love each one I've knitted equally.
Hi Lynette! That is so lucky that you have loved every sweater you’ve made! I definitely can’t say that 😂 Sometimes I just want them to be done, sometimes I love the process. But luckily I think I’ve loved all my FOs.
Suzanne Bryan has a fairly in-depth video about the problem you are seeing in ribbing - "Enlarged Knit Before Purl". She offers two solutions, one of which is the one you're trying. You may like the video because Suzanne goes into *why* the problem happens.
Oh my gosh you saved so much headache for me! I found her videos last night and was astonished that this is a common problem. Andrea Mowry had explained the solution incorrectly. You have to wrap the yarn in the opposite direction for the knit before the purl, not the purl after the knit. I truly can’t thank you enough! I wouldn’t have even know what to search for, I had no idea this was a technical problem. I can’t wait to share about this in my next pod. Thank you thank you!
@@AnotherKnittingPod I'm glad you found Suzanne's video helpful! I'm so grateful for technology that allows us to connect and support one another as a knitting community.
Hi. I love your Videos so much. The Pullover is amazing. My favorite patterns are „Zweig“ from Caitlin Hunter and the „Canopy“ from Melody Hoffmann . Have a beautiful Birthday
Hi Sandy! Thanks for your note! And I love both of those designers, and have both in my queue. But I’ve never quite gotten to the sweaters! Hopefully this year!
I have enjoyed your podcasts so much!❤ we learned to Knit 🧶 around the same time and I too knew how to crochet first (since I was 13). I really like the various yarn choices and color ways you showcase. Keep doing what you’re doing ☺️👍🏽
First of all … Happy Birthday🎉. Secondly … that sweater you are wearing is completely gorgeous. I am loving the soft, warm colors and the different textures the pattern and yarn gives it. It’s so interesting for me to see it finished because when you first showed us the yarn you were going to use I was intrigued because I couldn’t picture it and it was so different than any yarn I would’ve chosen for that pattern. That’s one thing I really love about the yarny podcasts; it opens up my mind and my eyes to different alternatives I hadn’t even considered. Now, when I see it finished it’s just genius. Kudos!
love your lace and fade boxy! love the colors! okay i'm going to have to copy:) after I finish the calypso, the bright side, the franky and the charles:)
I might be repeating myself, but you really should try purling Norwegian next to the knit stitch. This will almost certainly avoid the loose stitch. 😉Keep up the great work!
@@AnotherKnittingPod I wouldn't have my beautiful grandchildren if my kids hadn't flown my nest. I'm so proud of the way my 3 kids have turned out. They're living full, productive, meaningful lives and I get to watch. There's nothing more a mother could wish for.
Just a thought. The sweater you showed that you want to knit. I was on RUclips this morning. Look at the podcast Danish Musings. Her podcast is almost all about that sweater, the yarn she used and how she chose the colors. Thought it might help you. Just found you on RUclips. Loving your enthusiasm about your knitting.
Your sweater is gorgeous. I have the same problem with the ribbing and tension, I am trying the Russian purl and I realized in my last project that i knitted the ribbing English style which I find I can achieve a more consistent knitting. I am looking forward to see what solution you find. Thank you for giving me joy.
Happy Birthday. If I understand correctly, the issue is going from the knit section to the purl section. In my knitting, I notice the wonky knit stitches less when working ribbing (like 2x2 and 3x3). Where it makes me crazy is when doing cable work. I think it's the transition from the knit sections to the purl sections that make that edge knit stitch wonky. Unfortunately, I'm going off memory as I have no WIP to look at and explain properly. Years ago I found a tutorial that address this situation and I forget now the technique I tried, but I recall it helped a little. I think it was either knitting the last knit stitch before the purl section through the back loop; or, it was purling the first stitch after the knit section through the back loop. Hope you find a resolution.
My recent favorite book is The Direction of the Wind by Mansi Shah, I couldn’t stop reading it and didn’t want it to end! OMG your Lace and Fade Boxy looks beautiful on you! Have a wonderful and super Happy Birthday!!
I was so happy to see you upload today 🥰 I just saw all of Rowans new colors and some of the mohair is in 100g skeins 🤤 I just need to own that company and live happily ever after 😂❤
I would do a little mid-project block on your Big Rib and see if the ribbing tension evens out, if you can stand to put the project on hold 😆. I often block mid-project so I can stop wondering (worrying) about how it's going to turn out!
You know me so well! I was thinking the same, but can’t bear to tear myself away from it! Especially since we aren’t at home…its just goign to be what it is. Sort of an experiment but I know I’m love it regardless ❤️
You can leave me messages here! If you want to enter the giveaway just let me know what your favorite pattern is! You don’t have to go on Instagram. Though there is so much lovely yarn-y content on there!
Hi Edina! Someone else had suggested them, so I watched them many times to make sure I had mastered her techniques. Sadly they didn’t work at all on this sweater! I think the yarn and gauge are an issue…I will definitely use her techniques in the future though, I think it will tidy up my ribbing when I’m knitting at a *normal* gauge.

Lol - I just hollered to my husband, “My girlfriend is on I have to go watch her pod!”. Hahaha! Good to see you. Now to sit, knit and watch! 💖
😂 You are too sweet!!! I hope you enjoyed 😘
LOL! This morning I said out loud today is Friday, Leena's podcast should be up. :D
Happy Birthday, Leena, certainly hope you enjoy a fabulous time & enjoy the reunion with your son!! Your Boxy Fade looks amazing, you chose the perfect yarns for it!!

Hi Jodi! You totally should! It was the quickest project.
I love Garter Goodness by Stephen West😁
Also, pre happy Birthday! You are 27, right?! 🥳
Ha! Thank goodness 27 is behind me. Waaaaaay behind me 😂
And everything SW does is beautiful! Even garter stitch. 🥰
Your sweater is gorgeous. I have the same problem with the ribbing and tension, I am trying the Russian purl and I realized in my last project that i knitted the ribbing English style which I find I can achieve a more consistent knitting. I am looking forward to see what solution you find. Thank you for giving me joy.
I found a solution! I will share it with y’all next time. Thank you Sandra! 💚
@@AnotherKnittingPod I can t wait to hear it, thank you so much, your response made my day :)
I finished my For Keeps cardigan last month and I’ve worn it almost every day since. So it’s a fave.
That’s lovely! Going to look it up.
Happy Birthday🌷🌷🌷
Thank you thank you!
Happy Birthday. If I understand correctly, the issue is going from the knit section to the purl section. In my knitting, I notice the wonky knit stitches less when working ribbing (like 2x2 and 3x3). Where it makes me crazy is when doing cable work. I think it's the transition from the knit sections to the purl sections that make that edge knit stitch wonky. Unfortunately, I'm going off memory as I have no WIP to look at and explain properly. Years ago I found a tutorial that address this situation and I forget now the technique I tried, but I recall it helped a little. I think it was either knitting the last knit stitch before the purl section through the back loop; or, it was purling the first stitch after the knit section through the back loop. Hope you find a resolution.
Oh yes, its crazy-making indeed! I’ll chat about it when I record tomorrow!
My recent favorite book is The Direction of the Wind by Mansi Shah, I couldn’t stop reading it and didn’t want it to end! OMG your Lace and Fade Boxy looks beautiful on you! Have a wonderful and super Happy Birthday!!
Oooo I’m going to check out your book recommendation! Thanks Lisa Marie!
I was so happy to see you upload today 🥰 I just saw all of Rowans new colors and some of the mohair is in 100g skeins 🤤 I just need to own that company and live happily ever after 😂❤
Really?? I’m not seeing that! Where did you see those skeins?
@@AnotherKnittingPod Fleece and Harmony RUclips channel ep#116 🥰 oops it’s 50g instead of the usual 25g but they are big and beautiful 😍
I would do a little mid-project block on your Big Rib and see if the ribbing tension evens out, if you can stand to put the project on hold 😆. I often block mid-project so I can stop wondering (worrying) about how it's going to turn out!
You know me so well! I was thinking the same, but can’t bear to tear myself away from it! Especially since we aren’t at home…its just goign to be what it is. Sort of an experiment but I know I’m love it regardless ❤️
Happy Birthday!
Thank you Randi!
Girl just come and visit me in winter and you will most likely see them!
I will take you up on that!!
Ok don't understand we leave messages on your podcast here also. I don't use instagram at all. Just asking. Love your podcast.
You can leave me messages here! If you want to enter the giveaway just let me know what your favorite pattern is! You don’t have to go on Instagram. Though there is so much lovely yarn-y content on there!
You need to watch Suzanne Bryan’s videos to solve the tension issue you are talking about.
Hi Edina! Someone else had suggested them, so I watched them many times to make sure I had mastered her techniques. Sadly they didn’t work at all on this sweater! I think the yarn and gauge are an issue…I will definitely use her techniques in the future though, I think it will tidy up my ribbing when I’m knitting at a *normal* gauge.
@@AnotherKnittingPod sorry to hear, but glad you did learn something from her videos.
I think you can knit the more elegant things, crocheting is more for the rustic stuff. It’s really not my cup of tea.
100% agree, Sabine!
