Still binge watching you and in awe of the speed of your knitting whilst working/children and family home and simply LIFE too happening around you . Lovely podcast as always ❤
I want to knit as fast as you do 😊
Your joy for your bag is lovely! I would feel the same about that backpack. :)
I love the sweater you are wearing also .
The bag is wonderful and I thought any color would be good.
I also got a new Bertie and Poppet bag so I'm happy with that too. Thank you for your podcast. I've been binge watching for a week 😁
Thank you for being our friend.
I'm so happy about it!
I am an advanced beginner from USA (Tennessee). I enjoyed your video, so interesting. I have a friend from Finland who use to live here.
Hello from North Alabama.
I’m glad you popped in. I love hearing the variations of expressions. I say things are flying off the shelves like hot cakes. Cookies is sweet too.
I think I got that one from my husband. He always says hot cookies. :D
I love your videos! You are so sweet! I envy your knitting talent. I am a fairly new knitter. Have knit 1 sweater, about 11 pairs of socks, 5 beanies and a few scarves. Now using up small leftover pieces to make a shawl, maybe? No pattern, just making it up as I go. I live in Maine in the US. We probably have similar weather as you. I have not done color work or cables yet. But soon I will branch out of my comfort zone and give it a go. I would love to visit your country some day. I love anything Scandi. Take care and I’ll be watching. ❤️
Jana- I just want to say that I really enjoy your podcasts. I live in Montreal. You are doing a great job!!
Thank you so much Suzanne!
I love your podcast! Just found it today and have watched several episodes. Your projects are inspiring, and I just love your conversational style. I am always in awe of those of you in Scandinavia who podcast in English (I am also a longtime fan of the Ciasbod podcast), because, although I studied Spanish in high school and even a few classes in college, I am nowhere near fluent enough to speak for an extended period of time on any subject. I am also in awe of how quickly you knit and would love a tutorial on how you tension your yarn and hold your needles. ❣️
I love that wallpaper so much. And the knitting too!
Injoyed the time with you..thank you Susanne 💖
I love your fox dress. It´s super cute.
Thank you! It's one of my favourites. I'm so grateful for crafty friends that can sew. 😊
I'm a huge fan of Drops yarn and my Magnolia chunky card is made in a strand of Drops Lima and Drops silk mohair...I haven't tried the Alpaca silk yet but your version of Magnolia is looking fabulous
I found your podcast this week and find it so enjoyable. Your knitting ability makes this a great podcast. You must have been knitting a long time to knit at the speed you do. Have thought of trying to change my knitting style like you but I'm a little old for that so will do my slow knitting and watch your podcast. As one of your other viewers mention I'd to would like a tutorial on how you tension and hold your needles.
I am in awe of your ability to make such beautiful sweaters in a short time. I particularly love the Melody Hoffman sweater.
I wish I could find such lovely yarn for a great price. I made some mittens and hats from Drops yarn years ago. Love it!
Thank you! Drops has a lots of great and affordable yarns. Is it available in your area? They have several big sale events throughout the year.
@@FinnishKnittingStories I’m in the US and I’ve not found it recently. I’ll need to do better research.
Funny thing, I am actually knitting the Flora in plotulopi color 1038 as you speak 😂
Thank you for sharing! 👍 You are knitting a lot of lovely things! and the backpack you have bought is really nice!
Thank you! That backpack is a real savior. I can finally fit all my stuff in just one bag. Usually I'm this crazy lady that runs around with 2-3 different bags. :)))
Hello from Canada 😊 I've just discovered your podcast and really enjoy it! I love your Wild Posy 😍 I test knit the Luna version and loved it so much that I'm planning on casting on the Flora version in some white Plotulopi for Christmas 🤗 Your Magnolia Cardigan is so beautiful and I think the pink looks lovely with your colouring. OMW that fox dress is adorable! 💕
Thank you so much! I'm actually thinking of knitting Luna, but it's so hard to pick a colour. What colour is yours?
The fox dress is one of my favourites. I have another one with the summer fox pattern. I'll try to show it in the next episode. 😊
@@FinnishKnittingStories I knit my test knit in Nutiden (I actually had to hold 3 strands together to get gauge) and the colourway is kind of a browny-grey-peachy colour. I find it so hard to capture the actual colour in photos. I'm "CatHairKnitting" on Ravelry if you want to have a look at my version or you can check out episode 33 of my knitting podcast. I really like the oatmeal colour you chose for yours. I have been knitting only from stash since July so colour choice has been decided for me as I only have white plotulopi 😂
Oh my. I can't find lots of the lstex colours I am looking for, but, do you ship to the UK. The business is not listed in the description/info below the podcast on RUclips. It sounds like you have the colours I'm looking for.
I enjoy the podcast. Thank you so much for sharing your makes and inspiration. 🙏😊
Thank you for watching! ❤️
Unfortunately last year we had to stop shipping internationally. Many packages were getting lost and the shipping costs doubled. So insane!
I think there are several big Istex retailers in the UK that should have most of the colours in stock. I really hope you can find it somewhere closer. 😊
@@FinnishKnittingStories Thank you for a speedy response. I have bookmarked all the UK suppliers, but will check, perhaps all colours I need will be available. Thank you once again👍
