Teti’s sweater design is inspired by the designs of Ukrainian artist Polina Raiko, whose house was painted all over with beautiful and imaginative designs. After her death, her house became a Ukrainian museum. Last year, the Russians blew up the Kakhovka dam which flooded the house. I hope you love the design and feel the spark of resistance and perseverance that the Ukrainian people embody. Slava Ukraini! 💙🌻
Congratulations!! The lack of energy at the begining shocked me too, it seamed crazy that I could get up, get breakfast and then feel like crawling back in bed.
I could not tell you were pregnant, but I would have wonder today🫄 ! Congratulations! 🥳 ❤, hope your energy level comes back, mine has been so low, and I have no excuses! I too have been reading more, and it has been nice. Take care, Melissa.
Congratulations! That exhaustion and brain fog can be no joke, I have four and I can’t tell you the amount of times during pregnancy I would drag myself off the couch to go to the kitchen, get there, and not know what I was planning to do in the kitchen, and then go snuggle back up on the couch. I also kept getting stuck trying to suck in my stomach to squeeze past people or furniture and that baby does not suck in! That yarn for your hat is the most beautiful color, I’d save the leftovers for something you can see while wearing it. I always get a little sad about using my special skeins on hats because I can’t see the color when I wear it!
ahhh oh no!!!! ive gotten stuck lying down once so far ha, i had to kinda roll off like a beached whale!!! hahah. yes i think i will save for a colour work jumper or something!
Congratulations!!! I hope your energy levels start to go up. I remember not being able to knit or spin when I was first pregnant with both my boys. Too tired and I think just looking down made me feel sick. It definitely went away thank goodness! Enjoy knitting all the baby knits you want. I love your videos and think your knitting is lovely. And that’s fabulous you one the prize!
Congratulations to you and you're partner. Enjoy all the making of baby things. I made the Cinnamomum pullover by Teti Lutsak last year and absolutely love it. The colours for your Polina sweater are stunning.
Thank you! I'm really looking forward to knitting one of her patterns, they are all so gorgeous but my queue is already massive. Glad this has given me an excuse to knit one eventually!
Congrats! Have you checked out NashKnits’ patterns? She has some of the classiest baby knits I have ever seen. I just tested her Zen Jacket Mini and I’m obsessed. Also I cried a little when you said you’ll get a year off for maternity leave. I had 3 months off at 60% pay and that is actually really good for the states 😭.
thanks- and i will deffo look her up! gosh is it that bad over there? in truth i think most people here can take a year off, but generally up to half of that is unpaid. i still dont fully understand what my situation is (i think i get half my pay for the year / potentially 3 months unpaid)- but i am lucky that my partner will sort us out whilst my income is so low. its such a mine field!
Congratulations! I always look forward to your videos. And you do not need to apologize to the person that outed you last video. That is my pet peeve - when a woman is ready, she will share her news.
How exciting !!! I look forward to seeing the baby knits : ) You should feel more energy now until about month 8. I had one in July too. The heat gets to you but how fun to welcome a little bundle .
i do have a lot more energy than i did- its just a shame work gets most of it! ha. i know, i am a bit worried about the heat. hoping we dont get a heat wave!!!
Congratulations!!! And no problem about deleting the comment on the previous episode. It was probably a bit presumptuous of me but I get so excited when I see a bump. Hope everything goes well for you during the rest of the pregnancy and the birth
Just be careful who you say something like that to. You don't know what people are going through. I have a friend who has had her "baby bump" pointed out when she was going through a loss. If the person hasn't addressed it, leave them be.
I couldn't knit either time I was pregnant because my body wouldn't let me. I tried to knit baby socks with my second pregnancy, and I *still* can't look at the color those socks were without getting queasy and dizzy....8 years later.
Thank you for sharing your experince with the Gro Hat! I've knit it twice and I thought I got gauge, and it was too small for me both times. I thought I was crazy, but it is one size! It's a lovely pattern, so thanks for the add 18 stitches tip :)
What wonderful news, Congratulations to you both……exciting times ahead . I loved my baby knitting years and I sure you will too as your energy and concentration allows .
Congratulations on the baby news! I hope you feel better. I recommend any book by Lauren Groff, one of my favorite writers. Also, wow, to win that prize from loop!
I was going to recommend Lauren Groff as well! I loved The Vaster Wilds, now reading Fates and Furies. Also just finished The North Woods and can’t stop thinking about it. Well congratulations Ophelia! My daughter is having her first baby in June so I’ve been knitting up many things for my first grand baby. I am sort of bewildered by how many baby knits have buttons! I enjoy your podcasts so much, thank you!
This is lovely news! I do have to say that many of us probably guessed anyway because your face-shape changed! But you dont have to apologise about deleting someone's comment. It is considered quite an invasion of privacy to ask publicly whether there is a baby on the way or not. Hope the rest of the time goes a bit better for you. 💕
Awwww so so happy for you ….. I’ve just become a grandma for the first time so am I little bit ‘into’ the baby knits!! I was very sick and felt rubbish on all four of my children so understand how hard it is ….. keep going it’s all well worth it for sure. Take good care of yourself and try and enjoy every minute … look forward to any content you make !! Xxxxxxx
thanks! to be honest i dont know the exact colours of the yarn, its a random standard dk wool from rowan in a bright green and drops mohair in a darker green. sorry they were really old stash so i am not sure!
Congratulations on your big announcement! :) I have the exact same history and feel exactly the same about reading... and I am also finding it more difficult to concentrate now
Congratulations! I’m expecting too. I wasn’t planning on making baby knits because my baby is due in late April but so many of the podcasting knitters I watch are also expecting that I was influenced to knit a couple items 😂 current I’m making mini Augustins #1 in a bamboo cotton blend. I figured that way it was a light and airy pattern good for a spring babe.
Congratulations 🤎 The onesie you are knitting is gorgeous! What an absolutely wonderful treat to win the Loop giveaway! All the very best for the most incredibly special time of your life 🤍
Such HAPPY news! Congratulations to you both. Such an exciting time. Beautiful knits The colors are my favorites 😊 Norwegianknitter here on RUclips has made tons of baby knits in the last few months for her cousin who had twins. If you need some cute baby knits ❤
Funny I am not a knitting youtuber just a knitter and I am also pregnant (after 5 years of fighting for it) and at half of pregnancy. Must be something in the stars, the new generation of humans :D. Congratz, good luck and all the best to your little family!
Congratulations! I knew on your Dec. video when you said your summer would be busy and you weren't feeling good! YAY! Many blessings to you and your partner and the new addition!
Congratulations! I get that you want to plan your knits😊 my husband and I will be meeting our son (he is 5) in the autumn and I just know I will not manage to do big projets when Hé is finally home. I hope you will feel better soon x
I am sure your neighbours are not watching but I have to admit if I was your neighbour I wouldn’t be too happy about you filming the front of my house and the view into my windows and posting it online. Might be courteous to blur the view in post production.
Hi there, I know the neighbours here, they know and dont mind, plus I have no idea how to do that :) (they see me sat up here all the time) also I suspect my very basic set up isn't able to do that.
@@orchidsheart It’s very easy if you are using premiere pro. Just use a mask with Gaussian blur. If using something else to edit I’m sure you can find a tutorial on RUclips. I’d be worried about your safety too. Are you not concerned people will be able to track down where you live? Maybe I’m just a worry wart 😂
@@emilysmith2784 I use a free basic software and am afraid I deffo dont have the time to learn new editing at the moment.

Yes! I did read about this on the card/pattern page. when i pick the pattern up i will deffo look into it more. thanks for sharing
