I’m a knitter and I love the sweaters you’ve made. But what I love most about this video is seeing an older woman sharing her passions. I’m turning 40 this year, and it’s by no means the end of the road. But the internet prizes young creators, and it’s harder to find women over 40 to look up to as I enter this new chapter. Watching you talk about your knitting feels like having coffee with a sister or friend in her beautiful home. Thank you for sharing. Mange tak!
Oh, I agree so much, and it’s crazy it should be frowned upon that we are older: we also (surely) have more experience, maybe even wisdom, and that can be a gift, too 💖
I agree! I love being numbered now among women 50+ who are lovely creative matriarchs who have come into our own, living the dreams of our imaginations, and not blown about by the trends.
I'm almost 30 and it's comforting seeing older women. I can't explain what I'm thinking because I'm French and I don't have the proper words to express myself. But thank you for your videos ❤
You are an amazing knitter. But it’s funny when I had my children I also did not much knitting. Now I do morgen but your sweaters are too difficult for me. But they’re the most beautiful knitting I have ever seen ❤thank you so much!
Gorgeous Gorgeous Gorgeous! I love your aesthetic. So many of the sweaters you knit are either in my queue or my favorites. I’m so happy that you showed yourself wearing them as it helped me to see how they drape on the body. Thank you RUclips algorithm for suggesting your knitting episodes to me. Your knitting journey sounds so much like my own. Repicked up my needles after over 20+ years and oh my the knitting world has changed. I’m so excited to learn and explore all this craft offers!
Thank you so much for your comment - delightful on so many levels😍 Thrilled to know your knitting journey is similar to mine and that we share a lot of favourite patterns. I agree - so much has happened within this craft; it’s been a steep learning curve and I suspect I’ll never stop learning ☺️
I would have written the same. I picked up my needles, some lovely yarn and Stephen West patterns and haven’t looked back. 😂 Wonderful video. Love love your style of knitting.
I really hope this is not your only knitting podcast 🙏🏻 I absolutely love scandinavian knitters and their podcast videos You are very capable knitter with an amazing choice of patterns and style ❤
This video has proved to be the one I have returned to countless times...as I am searching out some of the yarns and patterns to make myself. Since watching your knitting videos I have moved on to your other videos and am enjoying them hugely. And feel I am turning into an armchair traveler...enjoying trotting along at your elbow...so a big thank you for hours of enjoyment.
CONGRATULATIONS - beautiful work & beautiful Yarns & colours! I’m in awe of all you Europeans who do wonderful Podcasts when English is your second language. And all those wonderful Yarns we are starved of in Australia - thank goodness for DHL). Many thanks & looking forward to watching more.
I loved watching! I am 51 and also just entering my 2nd era of knitting. I used to knit with my grandma, but mostly accessories and blankets. I am excited to be making garments now.
I love listening to you because you are so calming. I have knit for 66 years and you bring a lot of new perspectives to color choices and to combining types. Terrific job.
Thank you for this wonderful video, I have loved knitting all my life. I live in Queensland Australia which has a beautiful climate but is not conducive to gorgeous warm jumpers unfortunately, I love your colour combinations and designs. This has been such a delight and your English is impeccable, don’t worry about the length of the video, I could watch you for ages. Thank you again. Carol❤
Sent this way from Pine Cottage knits and just absolutely love your vlog! The knits are superb and your whole aesthetic is so relaxing! Thank you so much for sharing your knitting journey!
Oh my word. I am not a person who leaves comments, but your videos, your choice of patterns, of colours, it’s like I’ve found my long lost twin. Thank you ❤
@@danishmusings Ah, you see, that’s why I’m a lurker. As soon as I pressed the send button on my comment I was shrouded in shame. What sycophantic drivel. What I meant to say was that watching your videos over the course of a few days I had been surprised and shocked at the realisation that there was someone else like me in the world. So many of your scenes and discussions mirrored thoughts, impressions and events. For example, a recently new acquaintance and I were discussing favourite films, and finding that we had agreed on all the choices of the other she suggested ‘Out of Africa’. Never seen it, I told her, I’ve stayed clear of it on purpose, and she was astounded. But why? she asked. And I couldn’t tell her, I had no idea. Then blow me down I read a few hours later than one of your favourite books is ‘Out of Africa’ and then I’m surprised because another is the diary of Virginia Woolf. Although I’ve read Virginia Woolf (had to, it was part of a course- I found her writing rather boring) I’ve had no interest in the woman since she was very rude about Katherine Mansfield (I’ve read her too, had to, part of another course - I found her writing intoxicating). I’m waffling, what I’m trying to say is that as so much of everything you’ve shown me about yourself in your videos has been like a recognisable ‘truth’ to me. So I thought I’d better sort out my reading prejudices and begin with your list. I begin with Virginia and from the first page I am bowled over. I have been, for many years, stuck in a rut with Proust. It’s true that he still manages to make me look at the stars, but I see that he has also overshadowed all other writers (in my mind at least) that I’ve missed out, would have missed out, on so many other wonderful moments had I not come across you and your inspirational musings. THAT’S what I meant to say on my first comment, even though I still do like your choice of knitting patters and yarns
@@lindahart7133 Linda, I hasten to reply to your altogether great comment lest you feel ‘shrouded in shame’ again and rush to remove it! 😅 I love everything about it and thank you for sharing - with an eloquence and sense of humour I really enjoyed. SO lovely to hear that there is someone out there who actually resonates with many of my random thoughts and musings. Thank you 🥰 Deeply appreciated.
@@danishmusings Oh, what a lovely surprise, I’m sitting here in a ray of the most gorgeous sunshine, eating a packet of crisps before I head off to the shower, and up pops your reply to my reply. Thank you, I shall be smiling all day, although I apologise for making you hasten to anything. Have the greatest of great days, and once again, thank you
Omg! Your sweaters are all awesome!! The colors and yarns and patterns you have chosen are just perfect and so beautiful. So thoughtful of you to show them on. Seeing the fit is much better than a picture. You have inspired me to try more. I am fortunate not to have sensitive skin, however I have heart alpaca or baby alpaca, doesnt bother most people and good for making hats for babies. Thank you for a lovely podcast. I think I will watch them all.
Wow! You are a truly talented knitter.. several of your knits are in my to do list. I love My Favourite things and Petite Knits too! Thank you for the fashion try on at the end.. it really helps to see how it looks in reality! 🧶🥰🧶
As others have said, because I watch knitting videos, yours popped upon my feed also. And now I am watching your other videos also. Something I appreciate about your video compared to other knitting videos is that you do not ramble and you play calming music in the background. Most videos I watch for a few minutes, become trusted with the rambling and move on. So, thank you. Thank you too for taking time with beautiful photography and editing. Time consuming but so rewarding for the viewer.
You touch on something I’ve sometimes felt a bit impatient with myself, so I’m very glad you noticed that I tried to avoid that. Let’s see if I can continue to do so 🤞🏻 Someone else mentioned, in no uncertaint terms, that she preferred it without the music, so I’m feeling a bit torn on that 🤷🏼♀️ Thanks so much for your comment 🙏🏻
Well, maybe a little music in between rather than all the way through could be a compromise? But…I would do whatever best represents you and your interests rather than pandering to ours. Thank you again for sharing your world and interests with us!
I’m so sorry. I was looking for new podcasts from you and after finding none, I decided to reply to the new most recent shopcast from The Woolly Thistle. They are an American online woman-owned company that specializes in British wool. Thank you for responding to my misdirected comment because she offers randomly picked gift certificates to those who comment. I would have been out of luck for this last shopcast otherwise.
I am in complete awe of your knitting talent and patience. How do you sit that long to complete so many absolutely gorgeous creations. This is my first video of yours but I feel you are WAY more talented than me. Thank you for sharing.
Actually, I think it’s a kind of stubborn patience and not talent. I’m 100% sure you can do it, too, and actually I should balance it with more movement 😌💗
What a glorious collection of sweaters. I particularly liked the one with the bands of different stitch patterns. I’m adding that one to my Ravelry queue for sure! Re taupe - it’s not a blue grey, it’s a cross between grey and brown. It’s sometimes called ‘mole’, these days too.
As a 22 year old who picked up knitting during the pandemic, I really love hearing about what knitting was like in the past, as such an old and established craft I guess I fell into the thought that this is always how knitting looked😆 but I loved getting your perspective on how it’s changed over the years. I was especially shocked hearing that gauge swatching is a newer technique 😮 and that knitters used to just have a better intuit on their gauge as they worked
Wow is all I can say !!!!!! , after 1 year returning to knitting you have created a beautiful handmade knitted wardrobe. I love all the yarns and colour combinations you have chosen. I wish I was as prolific a knitter as you, thank you for sharing all your beautiful projects.
Wow!!! You are a beautiful knitter. And yes. I too share the same wool irritation as you. Such a bummer 😢 looking forward to more of your journey and thank you so much for sharing all your wonderful sweaters ♥️
I love your knitting! It's so refreshing and validating to hear your thoughts about how much has changed since you've come back into knitting. Your knits are beautiful and you've both taught me new things and inspired me. I really enjoyed this, thank you!
I'm a knitter and actually I should be doing other things today but all of sudden your episode came up on my screen,..... and I immediately loved the knits I saw folded behind you on the sofa.... I simply had to watch the whole video!!!! I'm blown away with the designs and the choice of colors and yarns. Thanks for sharing these treasures and your home setting... I felt like I came to visit you.
After reading some of the comments, I guess I'm an older knitter too. I learned to knit from my best friend when I was pregnant in 1976. My first item to knit was a small baby sweater with tiny needles and it was all cables but I have figured out when I learned a sew that if you have someone helping you when you're learning something, pick something difficult so they can help you all along the way. So anyways I thought I was a knitter until I saw all your sweaters. So I guess I don't know how to do anything really. I knit mostly to be calm or to keep my hands busy while I'm watching something on RUclips or TV so I don't do intricate things anymore. Cables are easy for me and so is eyelets and things. Maybe if I watch you enough I will get out of my comfort zone and put my big girl pants on. Thanks so much for sharing! I'm so glad I found you
Oh! What stunning knits. Please share your knits when you can. Your aesthetic is so inspiring. I am 57 and love watching women like me sharing their love of knitting. It truly feels like sitting with a friend who knits and enjoying our knits together. All this video needs for me is a warm cup of coffee at my side to sip, as I knit along with you. Well done. I will look for ALL of your videos and enjoy the companionship. Hygge is my passion and you have exuded this with your lovely neutral knits. 🕯️☕️
I apologize for using hygge in my comment. Now I’ve watched your video all on hygge and feel thoroughly called out on my usage of this word. 😳 Thankfully, at least I discovered I was saying correctly. 😂
You just popped up on my suggestions this morning, and oh what a treat to see all your beautiful knitting. I knit lots of socks but I want to knit more sweaters this year and yours are all so inspiring. Thank you for sharing! 😍
That makes me so happy to hear 😍 I get almost too inspired by various knits I see and should probably knit more socks etc and fewer sweaters. But oh.. it’s so fun and tempting. Happy knitting and thanks for stopping by 😊
Very impressed! I have never seen such beautiful knitting! Was a knitter! Live in a hot climate! Light and lacy I might be able to wear! Sometimes! Aussie Lady!
I'm also coming back to knitting after a long break, probably about 20 years. I am noticing many changes, much more knitting in the round and of course, as you mention, top down knitting. I haven't tried that yet but would like too, mainly because I found a beautiful pattern - Field Sweater by Camilla Vad. I'd like to knit that but not until I've learned the basics of top down knitting. I am not as brave as you to jump in at the deep end! I was never a brilliant knitter, just reasonably competent. Your sweaters are gorgeous! Like you, I have skin that is very sensitive to wool and it's useful to know of your experiences with the various yarns. I have a weakness for cables too. After watching your 2023 sweater podcast yesterday I have come back to the beginning and I'm happy to see that I have hours of enjoyment ahead to listen and watch.
I love your podcast! I don’t really have anyone to knit with, so I watch knitting podcasts for knitting friends. I enjoyed seeing all your lovely sweaters. Thank you for taking time to film your work. I lok. forward to seeing more.
As others have said you came up as a recommendation on RUclips. Hands down yours is the best show and tell video by far. So calming and so inspiring. I’ll be subscribing and watching your back episodes. 😀
@@danishmusings I’ve just watched another 3 of your podcasts. Wow. I felt quite emotional actually when I watched a couple of them. Especially your view on the things we collect in our homes and what we cherish or not as the case maybe. You spoke of the climate but still having the sun in our lives and feelings of despair in happiness and living in the moment. All these things and more resonate with my life. And although I did feel emotional I felt a sense a new ways to deal with my emotions. Thank you 🙏🏼
Hello! Here comes a little rant from me who lives in the southern part of Sweden. You have knitted all the sweaters I want to knit is the feeling after watching this episode. So nice!
I have never heard of some of the designers you spoke about. Thank you ! I have now gone down a rabbit hole checking them out. Also the yarn you used, absolutely beautiful, again brands I’d never heard of. 🇦🇺
it really resonated with me as a new mom who has had a hard time finding time for my knits since my son was born, when you said you did the same when your daughter was born. it spoke to me that while I can make space for my knit hobby when and where I can, life will only be this way for a season and it is a beautiful one but one day I will have another era of having more time for knit again! your finished pieces are stunning and I can’t fathom having this many completed works!! round of applause and a big ole thumbs up of course. 🤍🤍
These are such lovely knits you've made, and the way you explain yourself is just perfection. As a new knitter, and one who looks at patterns similarly where I see what new things I can learn with each new jumper, I am GRATEFUL to have found you. This was a joy to watch. Also, as a side note, you might look into whether you have a lanolin allergy, as that isn't found in alpaca, but is prevalent in sheep's wool and can be quite irritating, even with the softest of sheep's wool yarn
Beautiful work indeed. For me knitting is a meditation. I keep rediscovering it at different stages of my life. After another break of several yeras I started knitting again and enjoying it a lot again. I mostly knit in the evenings, after work and I noticed that every day I look forward to my knitting time :)
Your knits are exquisite. Good job. I particularly like your test knit. That looks ready for the runway. Taupe in English is a gray/ beige. Your test knit looks like a smoky blue.
Hi. I subscribed to your channel after watching you for the first time today. You are an awesome knitter. Your sweaters are beautiful. You are very talented. I am knitting again after years of not doing it. I have made some blankets for my daughter and grandchildren and a few for myself. I also knitted a few cawles for me and my two granddaughters. I have knitted a sleeveless top with the Rios yarn and have not knitted a sweater yet. It is very relaxing and rewarding for me to knit and to pick colors that match. Take Care and Happy Mother’s Day. 😊
I'm not a knitter, but I have a few friends who are and then some who quilt. Thanks so much for sharing and it was so interesting that time just flew by. I really appreciated that you featured wearing some of them at the end, as it really showed off the elegance and detail. Lovely, just lovely. Thank you.
Aw, you’re just too kind - and tolerant, Marcus 😅😍 I suspect you’re one of those human beings who are interested in most things in the world around them, which is such a great trait. Thanks for being here 💙
I loved watching your knitting video❤ your knits are gorgeous! You came up in my feed because of the knitting but I have loved watching all your episodes they are so insightful and calming to watch. You are so genuine and I love seeing the nature you enjoy. I love gardening as well so your podcast has been good for my soul. I live in Illinois in the US and do not have a knitting community either. I am disabled so I work from home and don't get out much these days so your videos are a wonderful way to see nature and visit new places. Thank you I have enjoyed every minute 😊
Thanks for showing your beautiful work and introducing us to Anne Ventzel! By the way, I really liked that you wore the sweaters for us. I think you have to see it worn to be able to judge it properly. What I love about knitting is how customizable it is. If I want a sweater longer or wider, I can make it however I want it. I‘m also just getting back into knitting. I quit about 10 years ago after knitting a lot of socks (yes, I love knitting with 5 needles) and I feel like I‘m ready to start up again! Thanks for the inspiration!
What an amazing collection, what a challenge with the skin sensitivity. I recently made a Sunday cardigan with a yarn that I thought would be soft, paid more for it than usual, but it isn't. I can't stand the feeling on my skin. I couldn't bear to waist it, as I have a limited budget, so bought a soft stretch fabric and made a lining for the inside. Solved the problem and I love wearing it as a type of outer jacket on cooler days.
Thank you for your time making your videos, all your knits are amazing. I have now watched some of your earlier videos and really enjoy seeing Denmark through your eyes. I find them peaceful too.
I am really glad and grateful that RUclips suggested your channel to me. I love the sweaters you've knitted and most of all I love the colors you have chosen for them and for the whole visual picture of this video. Thank you for sharing this. I am over 40 and have been looking for some inspiration online to support my urge to knit and crochet more. I don't have anyone ti share my passion for knitting or crocheting so your content means a lot to me. Thank you for giving me inspiration with your creations. Will definitely watch some of your travel videos too, their headlines look very promising.
I love knitting (and crochet), and I total understand what you mean when you put your crafting on hold - I just starting knitting again. Absolutely gorgeous sweaters
Simply lovely! I’m new to your podcast. I also had a 25 yr break after university while working and spending time with our children. Going back to knitting has been such a creative release and brings me memories of knitting with my great aunt as a child. For silk mohair, I loved knitting with Biches et Buches petite silk mohair. For wool, some sensitive skin folks have told me to try Finn sheep wool - perhaps Tukuwool. I don’t have a sensitivity so have no idea how the Finn wool might feel for you. Thanks again for sharing. Thrilled to have fallen upon your podcast.
I love your sweaters, full envy of your skill of knitting. All the sweaters are beautiful and your amazing skill in using yarn. I enjoyed your video and the soft music in the background. Thanks
Just stumbled upon your knitting podcasts. Wow! This is all so beautiful and so inspirational! Love your subtle colour choices and the fantastic patterns you made. I hope you don't stop sharing your projects with the knitting world! We need you! ❤
I was searching for a nice stylish knitting podcast and finaly I found it 😊 your knits are pretty and very inspiring. And also thank you for telling us what yarn is tolerable for a sensitive skin, very useful. I saved most of your sweaters to my wish list, will knit them for my wardrobe aswell. Thank you for nice videos 🤍
I love these kinds of videos - thanks for sharing your beautiful makes! I found the background music very relaxing actually! I loved the Cardi Cocoon in particular.
Wow so many knits and all so lovely. Thank you for this video, you introduced me to many designers and yarns that I didn’t know before. I now have so many sweaters in my ravelry to do list.
I just discovered your channel because I love to knit and was looking for some company and I am now completely addicted. I love the peace and wisdom that you transmit through your videos. I will definitely stay and look for more. Thank you so much for creating such a friendly and comfy corner.
Thoroughly enjoyed this video and have added sweaters to my queue as a result. I picked up knitting again last year after a 30 year hiatus and wow is it different but I am enjoying it especially the knitting top down and the lack of sewing I used to hate seaming the pieces together. I have also found a love for circular needles, so much more user friendly than the old long ones. Looking forward to seeing what you knit next
That’s very kind of you to say. Thank you. In some ways, I feel as if I picked up where I left off back then (despite so much having changed). I wonder if it’s like riding a bike: you never forget? 💜
I’m a knitter and I love the sweaters you’ve made. But what I love most about this video is seeing an older woman sharing her passions. I’m turning 40 this year, and it’s by no means the end of the road. But the internet prizes young creators, and it’s harder to find women over 40 to look up to as I enter this new chapter.

Oh, I agree so much, and it’s crazy it should be frowned upon that we are older: we also (surely) have more experience, maybe even wisdom, and that can be a gift, too 💖
Agree with this so much!!
I agree! I love being numbered now among women 50+ who are lovely creative matriarchs who have come into our own, living the dreams of our imaginations, and not blown about by the trends.
Very well-said, I couldn’t agree more. It’s time that women at +40 take back their presence on social media! And we need to support them!
I'm almost 30 and it's comforting seeing older women. I can't explain what I'm thinking because I'm French and I don't have the proper words to express myself. But thank you for your videos ❤
You are an amazing knitter. But it’s funny when I had my children I also did not much knitting. Now I do morgen but your sweaters are too difficult for me. But they’re the most beautiful knitting I have ever seen ❤thank you so much!
You can learn - just take it one little step at a time 💪🤗
You are an amazing knitter. I am blown away by how many you knitted in one year.
Many hours on my butt will do it ☺️
You are a delight to watch and listen to. Please accept this as a compliment - you are so normal😊❤
Haha, I know what you mean 🥰 And thank you.

CONGRATULATIONS - beautiful work & beautiful Yarns & colours! I’m in awe of all you Europeans who do wonderful Podcasts when English is your second language. And all those wonderful Yarns we are starved of in Australia - thank goodness for DHL). Many thanks & looking forward to watching more.
Absolutely agree Nina. For a country that grows so much wool there is a sad lack of options for us knitters.
Couldn't agree more! 🌄
On the whole wide internet, I finally "met" someone who has the same question about knitting *podcasts*. I absolutely loved your video ❤️
Haha, excellent 😍 and thanks!
I agree with a lot of the comments it is lovely to see an older knitter like me who gave up then went back. Xx
I loved watching! I am 51 and also just entering my 2nd era of knitting. I used to knit with my grandma, but mostly accessories and blankets. I am excited to be making garments now.
I love listening to you because you are so calming. I have knit for 66 years and you bring a lot of new perspectives to color choices and to combining types. Terrific job.
I think you were wise to make so many neutral color sweaters. They will be classic go to's and you have done a beautiful job on everything.
Thank you for sharing :)
This is a very nice episode, and beautiful hand kitted things - pretty soft colours and tasteful designs.
Thank you for this wonderful video, I have loved knitting all my life.

That means a lot - thank you❣️
Hello there! Loved all your garments and the fibres you used and look forward to your future projects.
Thanks so much 💞
Enjoyed the shopcast. The two sock bags look like so much fun! Now, which to choose. Thanks everyone for your hard work to put these shows together.

Thank you for responding to my misdirected comment because she offers randomly picked gift certificates to those who comment. I would have been out of luck for this last shopcast otherwise.
I am in complete awe of your knitting talent and patience. How do you sit that long to complete so many absolutely gorgeous creations. This is my first video of yours but I feel you are WAY more talented than me. Thank you for sharing.
Actually, I think it’s a kind of stubborn patience and not talent. I’m 100% sure you can do it, too, and actually I should balance it with more movement 😌💗
I am absolutely amazed at how many beautiful and intricate sweaters you've knitted in one year. AMAZING !!!!!
What a glorious collection of sweaters. I particularly liked the one with the bands of different stitch patterns. I’m adding that one to my Ravelry queue for sure! Re taupe - it’s not a blue grey, it’s a cross between grey and brown. It’s sometimes called ‘mole’, these days too.
As a 22 year old who picked up knitting during the pandemic, I really love hearing about what knitting was like in the past, as such an old and established craft I guess I fell into the thought that this is always how knitting looked😆 but I loved getting your perspective on how it’s changed over the years. I was especially shocked hearing that gauge swatching is a newer technique 😮 and that knitters used to just have a better intuit on their gauge as they worked
Wow is all I can say !!!!!! , after 1 year returning to knitting you have created a beautiful handmade knitted wardrobe. I love all the yarns and colour combinations you have chosen.
I wish I was as prolific a knitter as you, thank you for sharing all your beautiful projects.
🥰❤️
Sooo much beauty and sooo many sweaters in a year 😮 I love your colors! And the last one is my favorit and thanks for sharing!!!
Wow!!! You are a beautiful knitter. And yes. I too share the same wool irritation as you. Such a bummer 😢 looking forward to more of your journey and thank you so much for sharing all your wonderful sweaters ♥️
I love your knitting! It's so refreshing and validating to hear your thoughts about how much has changed since you've come back into knitting. Your knits are beautiful and you've both taught me new things and inspired me. I really enjoyed this, thank you!
🙏🏻🥰❤️
I'm a knitter and actually I should be doing other things today but all of sudden your episode came up on my screen,..... and I immediately loved the knits I saw folded behind you on the sofa.... I simply had to watch the whole video!!!! I'm blown away with the designs and the choice of colors and yarns. Thanks for sharing these treasures and your home setting... I felt like I came to visit you.
🙏🏻😘💙
Such a good good video. Your sweaters are works of art. 🎉. Thanks for sharing and inspiring us knitters. ❤
After reading some of the comments, I guess I'm an older knitter too. I learned to knit from my best friend when I was pregnant in 1976. My first item to knit was a small baby sweater with tiny needles and it was all cables but I have figured out when I learned a sew that if you have someone helping you when you're learning something, pick something difficult so they can help you all along the way. So anyways I thought I was a knitter until I saw all your sweaters. So I guess I don't know how to do anything really. I knit mostly to be calm or to keep my hands busy while I'm watching something on RUclips or TV so I don't do intricate things anymore. Cables are easy for me and so is eyelets and things. Maybe if I watch you enough I will get out of my comfort zone and put my big girl pants on. Thanks so much for sharing! I'm so glad I found you
I’m here for all the knitting! Thank you for sharing ❤
Oh! What stunning knits. Please share your knits when you can. Your aesthetic is so inspiring. I am 57 and love watching women like me sharing their love of knitting. It truly feels like sitting with a friend who knits and enjoying our knits together. All this video needs for me is a warm cup of coffee at my side to sip, as I knit along with you. Well done. I will look for ALL of your videos and enjoy the companionship. Hygge is my passion and you have exuded this with your lovely neutral knits. 🕯️☕️
I apologize for using hygge in my comment. Now I’ve watched your video all on hygge and feel thoroughly called out on my usage of this word. 😳 Thankfully, at least I discovered I was saying correctly. 😂
Aw, what an altogether lovely comment, thank you 🙏🏻💙
I am so happy I found you. you are so clear and easy to follow compared to some of the others.
You just popped up on my suggestions this morning, and oh what a treat to see all your beautiful knitting. I knit lots of socks but I want to knit more sweaters this year and yours are all so inspiring. Thank you for sharing! 😍
That makes me so happy to hear 😍 I get almost too inspired by various knits I see and should probably knit more socks etc and fewer sweaters. But oh.. it’s so fun and tempting. Happy knitting and thanks for stopping by 😊
Very impressed! I have never seen such beautiful knitting! Was a knitter! Live in a hot climate! Light and lacy I might be able to wear! Sometimes! Aussie Lady!
I'm also coming back to knitting after a long break, probably about 20 years. I am noticing many changes, much more knitting in the round and of course, as you mention, top down knitting. I haven't tried that yet but would like too, mainly because I found a beautiful pattern - Field Sweater by Camilla Vad. I'd like to knit that but not until I've learned the basics of top down knitting. I am not as brave as you to jump in at the deep end! I was never a brilliant knitter, just reasonably competent. Your sweaters are gorgeous! Like you, I have skin that is very sensitive to wool and it's useful to know of your experiences with the various yarns. I have a weakness for cables too. After watching your 2023 sweater podcast yesterday I have come back to the beginning and I'm happy to see that I have hours of enjoyment ahead to listen and watch.
Oh excellent - and thanks for being here 🙏🏻🥰❤️
I love your podcast! I don’t really have anyone to knit with, so I watch knitting podcasts for knitting friends. I enjoyed seeing all your lovely sweaters. Thank you for taking time to film your work. I lok. forward to seeing more.
That makes two of us then - friending virtually via knitting 🥰 Thanks so much for your comment ❤️
As others have said you came up as a recommendation on RUclips. Hands down yours is the best show and tell video by far. So calming and so inspiring. I’ll be subscribing and watching your back episodes. 😀
You’re so kind, and your comment is appreciated - thank you 💞
@@danishmusings I’ve just watched another 3 of your podcasts. Wow. I felt quite emotional actually when I watched a couple of them. Especially your view on the things we collect in our homes and what we cherish or not as the case maybe. You spoke of the climate but still having the sun in our lives and feelings of despair in happiness and living in the moment. All these things and more resonate with my life. And although I did feel emotional I felt a sense a new ways to deal with my emotions. Thank you 🙏🏼
Your work is absolutely beautiful, love all of the patterns and the yarns you chose. Stunning!
Loved seeing all the beautiful sweaters.
Hello!
Here comes a little rant from me who lives in the southern part of Sweden. You have knitted all the sweaters I want to knit is the feeling after watching this episode. So nice!
Excellent 😅
I have never heard of some of the designers you spoke about. Thank you ! I have now gone down a rabbit hole checking them out. Also the yarn you used, absolutely beautiful, again brands I’d never heard of. 🇦🇺
😍❤️
Your sweaters are beautiful. I love your aesthetic. Thank you for sharing.
it really resonated with me as a new mom who has had a hard time finding time for my knits since my son was born, when you said you did the same when your daughter was born. it spoke to me that while I can make space for my knit hobby when and where I can, life will only be this way for a season and it is a beautiful one but one day I will have another era of having more time for knit again!
your finished pieces are stunning and I can’t fathom having this many completed works!! round of applause and a big ole thumbs up of course. 🤍🤍
🙏🏻❤️🥰
Thank you for sharing this video! Feeling very inspired and less scared to try more complicated projects
These are such lovely knits you've made, and the way you explain yourself is just perfection. As a new knitter, and one who looks at patterns similarly where I see what new things I can learn with each new jumper, I am GRATEFUL to have found you. This was a joy to watch. Also, as a side note, you might look into whether you have a lanolin allergy, as that isn't found in alpaca, but is prevalent in sheep's wool and can be quite irritating, even with the softest of sheep's wool yarn
🙏🏻🌸😚
Beautiful work indeed. For me knitting is a meditation. I keep rediscovering it at different stages of my life. After another break of several yeras I started knitting again and enjoying it a lot again. I mostly knit in the evenings, after work and I noticed that every day I look forward to my knitting time :)
Lovely ❤️❤️
Your knits are exquisite. Good job. I particularly like your test knit. That looks ready for the runway. Taupe in English is a gray/ beige. Your test knit looks like a smoky blue.
Вы очень хорошо вяжите! Рассказываете так, что вдохновляете, мотивируете! Очень понравились Ваши изделия. 👍
Beautiful knitting and pattern choices
Oh Wow! Your sweaters are absolutely beautiful! Gorgeous colors and perfect style. Thanks so much for sharing.
You’re wonderful to listen too. I hope you will continue to share your knitting. I’m in North Carolina
Thanks so much, always wanted to visit North Carolina 💕
Your knits are absolutely beautiful. You are so prolific at knitting and all that in one year! Wow
Thank you - well, if you spend enough hours on a sofa… (i.e. no magic, not an especially fast knitter) 😌
Hi. I subscribed to your channel after watching you for the first time today. You are an awesome knitter. Your sweaters are beautiful. You are very talented. I am knitting again after years of not doing it. I have made some blankets for my daughter and grandchildren and a few for myself. I also knitted a few cawles for me and my two granddaughters. I have knitted a sleeveless top with the Rios yarn and have not knitted a sweater yet. It is very relaxing and rewarding for me to knit and to pick colors that match. Take Care and Happy Mother’s Day. 😊
🥰❤️
Lovely work and perfect choices. I loved your comment about ‘too much inspiration’. Now I have a slew more designers, sweaters and yarns to try ;)
😍❤️
I'm not a knitter, but I have a few friends who are and then some who quilt. Thanks so much for sharing and it was so interesting that time just flew by. I really appreciated that you featured wearing some of them at the end, as it really showed off the elegance and detail. Lovely, just lovely. Thank you.
Aw, you’re just too kind - and tolerant, Marcus 😅😍 I suspect you’re one of those human beings who are interested in most things in the world around them, which is such a great trait. Thanks for being here 💙
Wonderful channel. I'm very new to knitting and I'm so excited to have found your channel early on. Thank you for sharing your beautiful work.
Thank you for making me a small part of your new knitting journey 🤍
Elegant, lovely sweaters. Like you, I've begun knitting and weaving mohair silk.
Beautiful beautiful..I don't know what else to say!! VERY inspiring!
🙏🏻💙☺️
How beautiful, love the muted colours, you have inspired me to get my knitting needles out.
❤️❤️
I loved watching your knitting video❤ your knits are gorgeous! You came up in my feed because of the knitting but I have loved watching all your episodes they are so insightful and calming to watch. You are so genuine and I love seeing the nature you enjoy. I love gardening as well so your podcast has been good for my soul. I live in Illinois in the US and do not have a knitting community either. I am disabled so I work from home and don't get out much these days so your videos are a wonderful way to see nature and visit new places. Thank you I have enjoyed every minute 😊
Aw, I’m truly so happy (and humbled) to know my videos brought you a little peace and food for the soul. All the best to you in Illinois 💙
Thanks for showing your beautiful work and introducing us to Anne Ventzel! By the way, I really liked that you wore the sweaters for us. I think you have to see it worn to be able to judge it properly. What I love about knitting is how customizable it is. If I want a sweater longer or wider, I can make it however I want it. I‘m also just getting back into knitting. I quit about 10 years ago after knitting a lot of socks (yes, I love knitting with 5 needles) and I feel like I‘m ready to start up again! Thanks for the inspiration!
Excellent - and thanks so much 🥰
What gorgeous sweaters. Your work is beautiful. The fade is my favorite.
Love your beautiful sweaters. Almost wishing to live in Denmark all that lovely yarn too. Thank you for showing them. 🌄
Your work is beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing.
What an amazing collection, what a challenge with the skin sensitivity. I recently made a Sunday cardigan with a yarn that I thought would be soft, paid more for it than usual, but it isn't. I can't stand the feeling on my skin. I couldn't bear to waist it, as I have a limited budget, so bought a soft stretch fabric and made a lining for the inside. Solved the problem and I love wearing it as a type of outer jacket on cooler days.
Good idea 😍
Thank you for your time making your videos, all your knits are amazing. I have now watched some of your earlier videos and really enjoy seeing Denmark through your eyes. I find them peaceful too.
That means a lot, thank you 💚
I am really glad and grateful that RUclips suggested your channel to me. I love the sweaters you've knitted and most of all I love the colors you have chosen for them and for the whole visual picture of this video. Thank you for sharing this. I am over 40 and have been looking for some inspiration online to support my urge to knit and crochet more. I don't have anyone ti share my passion for knitting or crocheting so your content means a lot to me. Thank you for giving me inspiration with your creations. Will definitely watch some of your travel videos too, their headlines look very promising.
Thank you so much for your comment. I’m glad if I can serve as company for you as you hopefully begin to crochet and knit more 💗🤞☺️
I love knitting (and crochet), and I total understand what you mean when you put your crafting on hold - I just starting knitting again. Absolutely gorgeous sweaters
Simply lovely! I’m new to your podcast. I also had a 25 yr break after university while working and spending time with our children. Going back to knitting has been such a creative release and brings me memories of knitting with my great aunt as a child. For silk mohair, I loved knitting with Biches et Buches petite silk mohair. For wool, some sensitive skin folks have told me to try Finn sheep wool - perhaps Tukuwool. I don’t have a sensitivity so have no idea how the Finn wool might feel for you. Thanks again for sharing. Thrilled to have fallen upon your podcast.
🙏🏻🥰❤️
I love your sweaters, full envy of your skill of knitting. All the sweaters are beautiful and your amazing skill in using yarn. I enjoyed your video and the soft music in the background. Thanks
❤️❤️❤️
So amazing! And such beautiful colors! I no longer live somewhere that I can wear sweaters. I'm hoping to try summer knits
Thank you for this video. You are a great knitter.
Just stumbled upon your knitting podcasts. Wow! This is all so beautiful and so inspirational! Love your subtle colour choices and the fantastic patterns you made. I hope you don't stop sharing your projects with the knitting world! We need you! ❤
Oh, that is entirely kind and motivating, thank you 🙏🏻💙
Thank you for showing us your beautiful work! As a beginner knitter, It helps to see them on someone. Your sweaters are so lovely.
Amazing, so many beautiful sweaters and the yarns are so gorgeous. Thank you for sharing.😊❤
Absolutely Stunning! A feast for the eyes! I love your blending of colors!
Such beautiful work and colour palette. Your WIP in this video is so inspiring. Thank you for sharing.
🙏🏻❤️
Beautiful! You knits are gorgeous!❤
Wow, I love your knits and colour choices. You are a technically amazing knitter. Just beautiful. Thanks for sharing your knits.
Thank you for your kind words ❤️
Wow! You're an incredibly talented knitter. Your workmanship is absolutely beautiful.
I really love your style and choices for colors and yarns. Very inspiring, thank you!
I want to come knit with you! What a great video. You have a beautiful eye for good patterns. Can’t wait to try a few of these! Thank you 🧶
😍🙏🏻😘
I was searching for a nice stylish knitting podcast and finaly I found it 😊 your knits are pretty and very inspiring. And also thank you for telling us what yarn is tolerable for a sensitive skin, very useful. I saved most of your sweaters to my wish list, will knit them for my wardrobe aswell. Thank you for nice videos 🤍
Wow thank you an amazing journey with you & such information about the choices you made to knit with.
Thank you for sharing, I really enjoyed watching your video.
I love these kinds of videos - thanks for sharing your beautiful makes! I found the background music very relaxing actually! I loved the Cardi Cocoon in particular.
I wish everyone felt that way about the music (I do as well 😌) ❤️
Your knits are absolutely beautiful!! Thank you for modeling them at the end. It really showed the fit and beauty of the patterns in each one!!.
Wow so many knits and all so lovely. Thank you for this video, you introduced me to many designers and yarns that I didn’t know before. I now have so many sweaters in my ravelry to do list.
Excellent 😻
I just discovered your channel because I love to knit and was looking for some company and I am now completely addicted. I love the peace and wisdom that you transmit through your videos. I will definitely stay and look for more. Thank you so much for creating such a friendly and comfy corner.
What a kind and lovely comment. I so appreciate it 💖
Thoroughly enjoyed this video and have added sweaters to my queue as a result. I picked up knitting again last year after a 30 year hiatus and wow is it different but I am enjoying it especially the knitting top down and the lack of sewing I used to hate seaming the pieces together. I have also found a love for circular needles, so much more user friendly than the old long ones. Looking forward to seeing what you knit next
Agree - haven’t knitted bottom since I found knitting again 😊
All of your sweaters are beautiful. I love the colors, tarns and patterns you chose. I plan to knit my first sweater this year…. Wish me luck!
Good luck! 👏
Very beautiful work, and choice of colors! Thank you for sharing! Looking forward to more knitting podcasts from you
Your knits are gorgeous! I can’t believe you haven’t done anything in 25 years. You’re learning at the speed of light. 😂Thank you for sharing. 💕
That’s very kind of you to say. Thank you. In some ways, I feel as if I picked up where I left off back then (despite so much having changed). I wonder if it’s like riding a bike: you never forget? 💜
