    When I started knitting, I was on the lookout for some inspiration and came across Kika’s channel. And that was exactly what I needed - a person so much in love with what she’s doing, full of buzz and enthusiasm. Love it! 🥰

    Kika, you don't know how much I love these vlogs!! It's also just so inspiring to see how knitting is so natural for you and I'm always amazed on how you free hand your knits, and then are able to create a pattern with it. I also love knitting while watching these vlogs!! 30 min vlogs are the best !!!

    Pleaseeeee please please make a pattern for the blue sweater you made up last summer. I absolutely adore it. It was one of my inspirations for learning how to knit. I am currently working on your ooh la la top and am loving it ❤

    We need a pattern for a lightweight, summer cardi to wear over the Sailor Swift top when it gets chilly at night!!

    Hi. I am impressed by your knowledge of knitting, and your beautiful items you knit. I like the wedding dress you knitted in such a short time before your wedding. It came out beautifully. You looked beautiful in your wedding dress. I have been knitting again after watching a podcast with the name Fruity Knitting. Your top in stripes with a darker color and white came out great. I knitted a blanket in garter stitch for my granddaughter in the colors of her University which she into a few days ago. She called me on Face Time in the evening she moved to her dorm and she showed it to me putting the blanket on her bed. I am happy that she likes it and will enjoy using it. Take Care. 😊

    Great advice for new knitters. I struggled to knit until I really examined how stitches are formed. Then I was able to develop a knitting method that worked best for me.

    Kika I loved this podcast! It had everything, travel to Finland, gorgeous scenery, knitting, a food blooper, and a movie! That shade of pink is perfect for your cardigan. I love it! Also your sisters sweater is beautiful too, the icy blue at the top is my favorite color. The cats are so adorable. Please keep including us, I love seeing what Finland looks like and knitting along. I'm ripping out over 6" on a cardigan, it's too long in the body. At least it's an easy fix. But 100% Alpaca is a bit clingy when you're trying to frog. Have a great weekend!

    • @bliblimama3994

      To unravel easier, put your garment on an ice pack.

    • @sc00badive
      @sc00badive Год назад +1

      Thank you for the tip, I really appreciate it. Once I got past the bind off row, it went a lot easier. I'm halfway through the ribbing & this time it will be perfect!@@bliblimama3994

    Love the colour and Alpaca is sooo soft. Looking forward to seeing your design. I could live in that cottage for sure. Love your tasteHaha Both of you have nail varnish to match your yarn. From Northern Ireland😊I envy you your sunshine as it has been cloudy and very rainy all summer here other than about 10 days in June.🌧️

    Im in the U.S and I was finally able to buy your book! So excited! I thought that I bought it for the sweaters, but I'm in love with the accessory patterns. Great job!

  • @ludouglas1
    @ludouglas1 Год назад

    Yes, the ties at the front remind me of the bed jackets my granny wore. Great to see you with your sister, knitting together. I never had a sister but my mother and I used to knit when I was in high school. She would knit the body, I'd knit the sleeves then she would assemble. It was such a great combination for the two of us. She passed away when I was completing my university degree many years ago but I still channel her when I am knitting, always thinking how much she'd love to have been alive since knitting is now a daily activity for me.

    I started knitting two years ago since finding your videos. I bought your book which is so beautifully done. I am currently knitting the cinema sweater and have the Darling cardigan lined up and once that is done I also bought your Salty Days sweater to up my game in knitting! You are an absolute inspiration. I love all of your videos. Thank you!

    I like that sweater you were wearing. I just used a linen/cotton yarn from KnitCrate that had those little pieces of straw. I was picking them out as I knitted. So I know what you mean.

    Ohhhh I would love a pattern for the big blue oversized sweater! Since you uploaded the vlog in which you knitted it, I couldn’t stop thinking about it and have been searching for a pattern like that ever since! 🩷 It truly is the most perfect laidback summer sweater ☀️

  • @ravenbelote1801
    @ravenbelote1801 Год назад

    Your sweater came out beautifully. I just love it!
    I also love that you include your family at times in your videos,
    and also events you're involved in outside your knitting. So fun
    to watch. I'm glad you all still ate the pie! I would have too... 😄
    I think one tie on the sweater would look very nice. You can play with
    creating that style with different closures. You could always just knot
    the tie instead of making it a bow. That would be less cutesy, as you had
    mentioned. Great work! Enjoyed the video.

  • @selinab8532
    @selinab8532 Год назад

    absolutely love the cardigan! the press stud were okay, bet it would look great with wooden buttons too, odd shaped
    haven't had a chance to purchase your book but i do want it as most of your garments are seamless & that's what i'm trying to teach myself, am on my 1st top down & it's a little wonky, would love if you did a tutorial on just a basic seamless sweater
    the poor pie, good thing you have clean floors lol
    i am glad you have kept going with your RUclips channel, you're the best knitting video that's also totally enjoyable!
    just love it when you take us for small tours around your homes, this country one is adorable & deserves to be preserved for the next generations to come but don't stress trying to get things done, it looks like the country houses are shared, so just share the costs of the restorations, learn also to slow down, that's what country living is about, getting out of the rat race & slowing down to live off the land & what we make ourselves
    adore your cats, hope to see more of them; it's lovely seeing them in odd videos enjoying your company; have 2 rescues myself who just don't like each other & constantly fight, shame but it's been 5yrs now & they're still not friends
    the jumper your sister is making is also lovely, looks like it will be very warm too! does all your family knit or do handcrafts?
    looking forward to your next video, have a great week
    thanx for sharing

    @angeh9995 Год назад +5

    Please do a pattern for this cardigan. It’s just what I’m looking for! It is beautiful. Thank you for sharing the beautiful Finnish countryside with us too. I’m in Australia so it’s very different from what I’m used to. Jumpers of any kind in summer is very different from what I’m used to! And I like the idea of being able to safely bask in your gentle sunshine for hours without burning to a crisp and always worrying about skin cancer.

From your cozy apartment to wedding jitters to settling into your new home with Jukka (?). I'm so very grateful you motivated me to pick up the needles and make my first sweater. It's almost finished, thanks to all your tutorials which I go back to all the time 😁
    Thank you KiKa!! 🥂

    Lovely vlog and cardigan!! Loved seeing Finland. I grew up in cottage country in Ontario, Canada many decades ago and your landscape is a close match. We also had blueberries everywhere and blueberry pie is also my favorite. I just saw the Barbie movie myself and I took my Purl Soho half and half triangle wrap to the theatre to keep warm. The movie was fab! Have a wonderful week.

    @annabelle7123 Год назад

    Thanks for this nice vlog! It’s interesting to see you wearing wool sweater and sleeveless dress at one day. I cannot bear wool knitting or sweaters yet in hot summer!
    Since you are making cardigans and great idea btw, any plans on correcting your old knitting patterns? There is old cardigan pattern called Cinnamon Twist cardigan but there are errors. Since you are a full time knitwear designer, I’d appreciate if you went back and corrected it, it’s beautiful!
    Not sure you know, but your beautiful knitting books are sold in Baneul store in Seoul, which you visited in Korea 😊
