Kika! What a pleasant surprise! One of my favourite feelgood podcast. I'm going to grab my knitting, a cup of coffe and ENJOY. Thank you for being you.
I have followed silently for years (I remember the uncertain vlogs and the photography days) but I just wanted to comment that: 1. You're doing amazing and 2. Don't worry, we are all behind you supporting your journey and can't wait for the book to release so that we can all have a tangible book of knits to create during (and after!) the holidays! Happy knitting and many blessings to your family!
Hi Kika! I'm admiring and knitting your patterns from Argentina!!! Wish could get your books! The baby is beautiful and don't worry, life is like that for a few years 😅. I'd always wanted to ask you how many hours per day do you spent knitting??? Thanks
There is no reason to doubt yourself. You are an amazing designer, and I love everything. My biggest problem is my lack of experience with knitting. Your tutorials gave me lots of confidence knitting your patterns. I am so thankful!
Dear Veronika, I'm Portuguese. My husband and daughter are from the place in Portugal where you spend your holidays :) I've been watching all your videos, since I've discovered your you tube channel last week. I love it very much. Everything, especially the balance between talking, showing interesting frames with people and knitting, and landscapes. I feel you put all your creative skills together at work making them. I also think your knits are inspiring and beautiful. It was touching to see and listen to you sharing your experience about the baby arriving to your family. Know that you are not alone. You were the first person to express out loud many of the thoughts and feelings I also felt during that first period of the baby's life. Congratulations on your new book. I'm asking Santa for your books ;) Definitely my favorite you tube channel. Sending you much love and thank you for sharing what you do.
That self doubt is called "imposter syndrome" and is very very common among creative folks. My husband has well over 30 novels to his credit, and it still happens to him every time. It's the same with all our other creative friends as well. Just remind yourself that you are worthy and your work is good. You will be fine, and your work is gorgeous!
oh, and your publisher should have sent you a proof/promo copy...that's the least they should do for you, and it should arrive hopefully before the pre-release, so you have it to show in your blogs and to help advertise it! Congrats, it's beautiful!
I can’t wait to get the new book! you truly are my favorite designer and I find so much comfort in your cozy vlogs. not only because of the knitting but also your openness & vulnerability. as a first time mom myself I totally understand all the emotions of doubt and overwhelm, and the lack of time, and I can’t even imagine having as much on my plate as you do! I am so proud of you and love to watch your journey! 💓
Kika!!!! I was sooooo happy and very pleasantly surprised to have a video today in this dull and dreary day here in Ontario Canada 🍁, it’s not cold but just a miserable weather day lol. Edvin is so beautiful and he is growing so fast and so beautifully, they don’t stay little babies for very long and we have to cherish these moments while we can. Big congratulations on your beautiful book, I pre-ordered my copy and can’t wait to get it and thumb through it!! I bet you are thrilled for that part of the book “business” to be over and now just sit back and enjoy the accolades of your accomplishments. Anyway as usual…..many thanks for sharing your family life with us, I feel like we are your family( in a way, ) we have been with you for all (some lol) of life’s joys and some not so joyful times and have experienced them with you🩷 Thank you again for sharing, filming your life for us and allowing us into your “fishbowl” of life, I for one thoroughly enjoy watching and listening to them and excitedly await the new ones. Enjoy your Sunday and the new week ahead. ☔️ 🩵 Tina 🩵☔️ Love and best wishes!!
Thank you so much for following along, and for your kind words. I definitely feel like I have big warm family over here on RUclips, the best community one could wish for 🥰🥰
I know I will be DYING to knit that cardigan! I had exactly one like you described in black and wore it all the times! 😍 so nice to see your enthusiasm for the future 🥰🤩
Holy cow, what is my umbrella doing in your video? Believe it or not, you are the first person I see with the Van Gogh Cherry Blossom umbrella. I also had the bike bell with the same design, but that was stolen from me a couple of days ago, together with the bike. Oh well, I think a trip to Amsterdam is in order now 😂 PS always enjoy your videos and your knits are so inspirational. Keep them coming!!! Ciao from Italy
So glad to have You back again! Congrats 🎉🎉🎉 to your second book!!!❤❤❤❤❤ And Kika, Edwin is smiling a lot, that means You are a good Mom, cozy he is happy. And from time to time I bump into your patterns and ideas in other youtuber's content, so they are good. I have also knitted fall dress for myself based on your striped dress and learnt a lot from You, specially about raglan and european shoulder knitting. Thank You!!!!
Always love your transparency with feelings ❤ You are doing a wonderful job and I’m addicted to your creativity and style and personal perspectives. I watch your RUclips videos most of all and could watch two per week easily. 😅And they inspire me to buy your patterns! Don’t forget to take care of yourself, too. It’s so easy to put everyone else first.
Thank you so much for your kind words 🥰 Oh I wish I could make more videos, but editing takes forever 🙈😅even though I love that part of making videos nowadays the process is even slower with lil Edvin ☺️
Congratulations on your new book release. Love following your journey. Thank you for your candor and sharing not only your fabulous accomplishments (which there are soooo many), but also the fact that doubts can still creep in. Can't wait to see your new book and I'll put it right next to your first one. :)
Congratulations for your Book, I am already sure it will be a great success. Bravo also for balancing you work/family life, it is such a difficult art, you seem to do it very well. I love to see the little one with you both parents on the video, thanks for shaing that joy also.
Super congratulations ~ it's inspiring to see someone thrilled, happy, excited about the world, their life and possibilities to come. Ditto happy family, enjoying good food and ambience☺
So excited to have been able to support you by pre-ordering your book today. There are several of my future project in it. The work/life balance will come; it just takes time. Your son is just darling. Enjoy every minute of parenting, remembering you can always laugh later at little things that make you cry today (seen fromt he vantage point of a mama with kids their 50s!)
Kika, I just want to say you are awesome! I too am trying to juggle life, family, and starting my own business -- something that has taken a back seat the last several years because my "real" job needed me more. I am nowhere near having kids and I can barely keep track of everything in my life! I know you worry about doing it "right" and also making all of us happy -- you absolutely are, as long as you are happy doing it. You are an amazing businesswoman, creative artist, and mom, and we are all really proud of you ❤
I am feeling inspired just hearing you share about your dreams for your business! It feels really valuable to have creators sharing, yes their love for their child and family, and also love for work. It is a wonderful lesson of living a fulfilling life that you are modeling for your little guy. Wishing you cozy end of autumn!
Congratulations on launching your new book. Love your videos. You are an inspiration to so many showing you can balance work and being a good mother and a good wife!!!
Kika, you are sooo relatable on so many levels. I can so appreciate that "unworthiness" feeling. I experience it often in my new role which is a dream job for me. Thank you for your passion, your patterns and for sharing the vulnerability that comes with living your passion.❤
Hello Kika, my daughter just got your book and wants me to let you know that it took her breath away. She has a 12 month old baby girl and is expecting another and her days are filled with mommy duties but knitting has become her way to relax and re-center. She says the book is stunning, so well made and throughly thought-out. Thank you for your work and obviously all you poured into it. Best wishes ❤
I downloaded my book today!!! I preordered it. Very happy to get the email today. Folks, GET THIS BOOK! It’s amazing. Truly. The baby boy needs new shoes 😊 I can’t wait for the companion tutorials. I’m still considering myself an advanced beginner. The first book inspired me, this one overwhelmed me with how many things I must make.
Well done Kika, with all your knits, work, planning and juggling of all things including family! You are really doing great. Can't wait to see your book and what is coming in the future. You sound excited with your plans. Lovely to see your journey.
Yay Congratulations on your new book release! I finally was able to purchase your first book “Knit This” from the Woolley Thistle in the US. Hopefully they will also sell this new book as well! Thank You for a wonderful podcast! My favorite cardigan that I’ve made is your “ Darling Cardigan”. I can’t wait for more favorites from You. Blessings to you and your family ❤
Kika, thank you so much for putting your thoughts about your drive to get back to work and struggling with granting yourself time to rest in the video. I can relate to this so much and you are such an inspiration to me that it makes me feel better about myself, knowing that even such a sophisticated, cool, creative and inspiring person like you struggles with getting everything done. Although I would obviously wish for you that you didn't struggle at all, it means a lot that you're being so honest and authentic to your audience. Thank you so very much 🩷
Nice to see some of Finland. I love Tuku wool. I have made 4 pairs of socks in Tuku sock since I discovered it in May ! Love you designs. Thank you for filming and sharing your family. Cute baby!
Kika, so happy to see you again on RUclips! So much fun to catch up on your family, and your book release! Well done! I bought your first book and look forward to your new one.😊
hello Kika, love from Istanbul, big fan of your knttings and videos. just watched your videos from a few years ago and that gives me hope to see that somebody else made it I mean she broke up, moved to another country, built a very succesfull business and must importantly found love and made a family :) yeayyyy.... Im also a new beginner knitter and will buy your book for sure waiting for your new videos :) very happy weekend. love and xoxo from Istanbul...
Kika, your work is amazing and so beautiful! I am not a knitter. I enjoy crocheting. If I were a knitter I would have loved to buy your books. I enjoy your videos and love to see what you are working on. Your son is very cute and handsome. Being a mom is a lot of work. It takes time away from the things you really love to do. As time goes on, with your son growing, you will find great joy in watching him achieve so many things. You are doing an amazing job handling all you need and want to accomplish. I loved what you said about embracing life and the challenges as a chance for growth. I look forward to seeing your book being publish and in the stores. Congratulations!
Congratulations! I've been following along for a few years now and watching you and your family and your business grow. I'm so impressed by your drive and of course your amazing talent.
What a great surprise to wake up in North Dakota and see you are on youtube. I said out loud Oh Boy I can't wait! I just love your videos and your positive sweet vibe! Edwin is just darling! I will be buying the book and I can't wait! Best of luck with everything.
I so enjoy your podcasts and how you share how you feel as you embark on your amazing journey. I can’t wait to order your book! I already own Knit This. ❤
So great to see so many stockists of the book even here on the Central Coast of NSW Australia. Two reasons I get to get my favourite Finnish knit wear designers book whilst supporting my local yarn store. Plus get to spend the $300 postage on yarn instead. 😍
Im so glad you’ve been feeling inspired lately!! I’m so excited for your book and I don’t even knit 😂 so don’t worry plenty of people will be buying it. Also, for the blue knit cardigan, I think a red ribbing would be really pretty or also a dark brown. I think that would be fun! Definitely a rich color with it. I love it!!!
Hi Veronika. Thankyou for the new podcast. It is always lovely seeing your life and business. Congratulations on getting another knitting book published. The festival you are launching it at sounds great. I hope everything goes well for you. All of your knitting looks lovely. I always like seeing new store tours too. Thankyou so much. take care
Hello, Kika, thank you so much what a huge gift and surprise is your every new episode! Congratulations for your new book, I am waiting it with much interest, because you are one of my favourite designers! And congratulations for your wonderful family, I like very much to see you all so happy! 😊🤗❤
Huge congratulations on the book pre launch and all the exciting new things in the horizon! You are absolutely smashing life!! You’re incredible balancing a growing business with motherhood and leaning into the joy that can be found while gently acknowledging the challenges, truly amazing ❤
What an accomplishment, huge congratulations! You are wonder woman! I love all of your designs and I cannot WAIT to cast on some of these projects! Your tips, tricks, and tutorials have been huge as I learn to knit! You're amazing!
Hi Kika I love your content all the time. I was One of your testknitters for the Daily stripes Cardigan. It‘s my all time favorite and all of my family members want another one.
So glad you have published your new book… your first book is on my Christmas list and I shall be ordering your next one! Love your enthusiasm and energy ❤
Oh it's difficult to focus with that gorgeous child. You are VERY lucky to have such a supportive partner. That really makes a difference. Soon the nights will get easier; hopefully anyway and has he learns to say more things and do things, he'll be so much fun. Congratulations on your new book and all the lovely designs. I'll drop a note to my local (60 miles away) yarn shop to see if they plan to carry it.
Such a joy to watch your vlogs each time! ❤ looking forward to see your video about new book patterns. I’ve made a preorder 🎉 can’t wait to look at the physical book!! I’d been reading your first book for few weeks each day before I actually started to knit something from it 😂 I felt like I’ve rediscovered a part of me….I became more full, coziness and happy filled all my body and soul. It’s hard to explain. But I really happy that you and your gorgeous knits became a part of my life ❤
Congratulations on the book, I can't wait to get mine here in the United States. I just watched your wedding dress journey video and if you can handle that level of stress - you've got whatever comes your way with no issues! Your dress was beautiful as are all your patterns. Hugs to that precious baby boy! (My first grandchild - baby boy also is about the same age and it's been wonderful!!!💙)
Youre absolutely one of my favorite designers ❤ im not quite skilled yet to make your designs yet, but still going to get copies of your book to keep my motivation to keep advancing 🥰 from a momma that has a toddler, youre so inspiring ❤
Hello kika ma'am. Am thankful your knitting tutorials and learning skills . You are amazing designer .I'm wishing your success life and plans . HAPPY KNITTING.
Bought the book as soon as it launched!! I'm so excited to get it!! I love your patterns. You are truly an inspiration. You three look absolutely adorable. Much love to you and your loved ones 🥰
Hi have been following you for many years. Doubts are normal but you have a wonderful family so sure you will be fine no matter what comes. Your designs are beautiful and timeless so going to purchase ASAP. Many thanks for being you x❤
What a nice surprise! Coffee and a Vlog from you = great start to the day! Looking forward to the next one - sent a note to the kids… your book is on my Christmas list!
Hello dear Kika, You are my favorite designer and I have already knitted 4 of your garments, including "Salty Days Sweater" and "Love Letter Top" and really enjoyed knitting them. I also purchased your previous book and I will purchase this book too. I wish you much success in publishing your second knitting book. Thank you for many hours of fun knitting. Dalia 😍🌹
Your ideas for your creations are always so fun. So please follow your intuition and name the frilly sweater chica cherry cola.🥤 What a fun idea and perfect for the colors! I´m so exited for your new video. I miss you every time in between your videos and watch your older ones again and again while knitting. You really inspire me and my knitting. 🧶
My spreadsheets are frozen, so I'm angry-knitting a sweater since I can't catch up on work, and what do I see but a vlog about a book I'm excited to get delivered! (I already added the patterns to my Ravelry library so I can pre-plan my 2025 queue - they're so gorgeous!) Arctic Light I'm hoping to have done by the end of the year, and Oatmeal not long after
I look forward to and love love your videos. I pre-ordered your new knitting book the minute I saw it was available, I cherish your first one and am so certain this one will be just fabulous!!! Thank you so much for all your absolutely beautiful patterns!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Plan for the afternoon: grab a sketchbook, cup of hot chocolate, get cosy and watch this vlog! 🧡 I love how honest and authentic you keep it, Kika! And congratulations on the new book ☺️
Adding the book to my preorder basket. The Woolley Thistle carries the book on pre-order in the US. They just announced your book on their podcast too. Starting a new family and a new business are nail-biters! For us, it paid off in the long run. Wishing you success and all the best in your endeavors!
I can't wait for your book to come out for sale, I found you when you started to knit you wedding dress and I love everything you have knit. Sending you so much love and have confidence that all it's well. Big hug rom Canada. ❤
Congratulations on your book release! Thank you for sharing your art and world with us! We are our own worse critic! I am glad those feelings were resolved! I am going to place my order now! ❤

yes, same here! following for 2/3 years now and i feel like you put my similar words into reality.
There is no reason to doubt yourself. You are an amazing designer, and I love everything. My biggest problem is my lack of experience with knitting. Your tutorials gave me lots of confidence knitting your patterns. I am so thankful!

Took the words right out of my mouth I think comfort is what I get from watching and also just an honest feeling . Nothing fake here.
Happy to hear about your exciting plans in business. I'm wishing you success in realizing all of your plans!
Awww your little prince is getting such a big beautiful boy. So proud of you all. 🥰
Just ordered your book! I am currently knitting your Cinema Sweater and I am just absolutely in love!
It is so clever using cables to make the cuffs of the sweater, how ingenious, bravo!!!
Kika!!!! I was sooooo happy and very pleasantly surprised to have a video today in this dull and dreary day here in Ontario Canada 🍁, it’s not cold but just a miserable weather day lol. Edvin is so beautiful and he is growing so fast and so beautifully, they don’t stay little babies for very long and we have to cherish these moments while we can.

Truly admire your work, Kika! Not a knitter or crocheter, but your work is amazing!
Your cozy vibe is so refreshing and soothing to watch, Kika! 💕 Your content always excites me-can’t wait for more! 🙂
So happy to have you back! Edwin is adorable. You can do it all, one thing at a time. ❤ from USA

Kika, thank you so much for putting your thoughts about your drive to get back to work and struggling with granting yourself time to rest in the video.

Kika, your work is amazing and so beautiful! I am not a knitter. I enjoy crocheting. If I were a knitter I would have loved to buy your books. I enjoy your videos and love to see what you are working on. Your son is very cute and handsome. Being a mom is a lot of work. It takes time away from the things you really love to do. As time goes on, with your son growing, you will find great joy in watching him achieve so many things. You are doing an amazing job handling all you need and want to accomplish. I loved what you said about embracing life and the challenges as a chance for growth. I look forward to seeing your book being publish and in the stores. Congratulations!
Congratulations! I've been following along for a few years now and watching you and your family and your business grow. I'm so impressed by your drive and of course your amazing talent.

So happy to have found you!!! I had an exchange student from Finland and it is on my bucket list to travel there! You are such an inspiration!! ❤❤❤❤
I so enjoy your podcasts and how you share how you feel as you embark on your amazing journey. I can’t wait to order your book! I already own Knit This. ❤
So great to see so many stockists of the book even here on the Central Coast of NSW Australia. Two reasons I get to get my favourite Finnish knit wear designers book whilst supporting my local yarn store. Plus get to spend the $300 postage on yarn instead. 😍
Wonderful natural and happy podcast. Great to see your son is doing well and you are enjoying one another so much. Can't wait to get your book!!!!!
Im so glad you’ve been feeling inspired lately!! I’m so excited for your book and I don’t even knit 😂 so don’t worry plenty of people will be buying it. Also, for the blue knit cardigan, I think a red ribbing would be really pretty or also a dark brown. I think that would be fun! Definitely a rich color with it. I love it!!!
Hi Veronika. Thankyou for the new podcast. It is always lovely seeing your life and business. Congratulations on getting another knitting book published. The festival you are launching it at sounds great. I hope everything goes well for you. All of your knitting looks lovely. I always like seeing new store tours too. Thankyou so much. take care

What an accomplishment, huge congratulations! You are wonder woman! I love all of your designs and I cannot WAIT to cast on some of these projects! Your tips, tricks, and tutorials have been huge as I learn to knit! You're amazing!
I'm so here for Kika socks 🥳
So good to see a vlog from you and I'm excited for your book!
Hi Kika I love your content all the time. I was One of your testknitters for the Daily stripes Cardigan. It‘s my all time favorite and all of my family members want another one.
Love to see your blogs each time! I pre-ordered the book as soon as I got the email. Can’t wait!
So glad you have published your new book… your first book is on my Christmas list and I shall be ordering your next one! Love your enthusiasm and energy ❤
Oh it's difficult to focus with that gorgeous child. You are VERY lucky to have such a supportive partner. That really makes a difference. Soon the nights will get easier; hopefully anyway and has he learns to say more things and do things, he'll be so much fun. Congratulations on your new book and all the lovely designs. I'll drop a note to my local (60 miles away) yarn shop to see if they plan to carry it.
Love the Australian connection to your ‘frill top’ name with the Savage Garden lyric “chic - a - cherry cola’ so apt!
Such a joy to watch your vlogs each time! ❤ looking forward to see your video about new book patterns. I’ve made a preorder 🎉 can’t wait to look at the physical book!! I’d been reading your first book for few weeks each day before I actually started to knit something from it 😂 I felt like I’ve rediscovered a part of me….I became more full, coziness and happy filled all my body and soul. It’s hard to explain. But I really happy that you and your gorgeous knits became a part of my life ❤
Congratulations on the book, I can't wait to get mine here in the United States. I just watched your wedding dress journey video and if you can handle that level of stress - you've got whatever comes your way with no issues! Your dress was beautiful as are all your patterns. Hugs to that precious baby boy! (My first grandchild - baby boy also is about the same age and it's been wonderful!!!💙)

What a nice surprise! Coffee and a Vlog from you = great start to the day! Looking forward to the next one - sent a note to the kids… your book is on my Christmas list!
Hello dear Kika,
You are my favorite designer and I have already knitted 4 of your garments, including "Salty Days Sweater" and "Love Letter Top" and really enjoyed knitting them. I also purchased your previous book and I will purchase this book too.
I wish you much success in publishing your second knitting book.
Thank you for many hours of fun knitting.

Your ideas for your creations are always so fun. So please follow your intuition and name the frilly sweater chica cherry cola.🥤 What a fun idea and perfect for the colors! I´m so exited for your new video. I miss you every time in between your videos and watch your older ones again and again while knitting. You really inspire me and my knitting. 🧶
My spreadsheets are frozen, so I'm angry-knitting a sweater since I can't catch up on work, and what do I see but a vlog about a book I'm excited to get delivered! (I already added the patterns to my Ravelry library so I can pre-plan my 2025 queue - they're so gorgeous!) Arctic Light I'm hoping to have done by the end of the year, and Oatmeal not long after
It always brightens my day when you post a new video! I'm so excited for your new book!!
I look forward to and love love your videos. I pre-ordered your new knitting book the minute I saw it was available, I cherish your first one and am so certain this one will be just fabulous!!! Thank you so much for all your absolutely beautiful patterns!!!
❤❤❤❤❤
I love your blue “90s” cardigan. It is looking so good!
Chicka Cherry Cola is a brilliant name 😂
Beautiful podcast! I wish you very, very well in all of your endeavors!!! 💓💓💓
Plan for the afternoon: grab a sketchbook, cup of hot chocolate, get cosy and watch this vlog! 🧡 I love how honest and authentic you keep it, Kika! And congratulations on the new book ☺️
Congrats on the book launch. The patterns look beautiful.
Your husband seems to always be smiling since the baby came !
Huge congrats on your latest book! And so exciting to hear about all your plans for the future of your business ❤
Adding the book to my preorder basket. The Woolley Thistle carries the book on pre-order in the US. They just announced your book on their podcast too. Starting a new family and a new business are nail-biters! For us, it paid off in the long run. Wishing you success and all the best in your endeavors!

Oglądam Twoje vlogi od 2 lat. Bardzo podobają mi się swetry zrobione przez Ciebie, nową książkę dostanę pod choinkę.
Your podcasts and smile bring me the most joy. You were the reason I started knitting. 🧶 can’t wait for your new book. 📕
