Great to see you again. I understand mental illness. My daughter has mental illness and I am a nurse and love love love my job to help so I am here for you and love your beautiful work. I am a new knitter advanced beginner
So my son suffers from eczema and if you know- that’s a struggle. Anyhow while researching the inter webs I found that mental stability starts in our gut- research to find how to heal from within. Ultimately the Lord is our answer right? Praying for you my dear you tube friend ❤ thank you for being honest. We all struggle but know that you have a community that cares. God Bless.
Thank you for that. Sometimes I feel like a big goof off. From your advice I need to eat better. I never thought of the affect of not eating right. Now with the weather change to winter is the worse time here in Maryland. Keep positive Jojji 😊
I love the two new designs you showed. Thank you for the fr hat pattern. So, happy to see you and hear that you’re feeling good enough for recording a journal. Praying for continued happiness.
So happy I found you here. Can’t wait to start the twisted affair hat! Thank you! Taking care of yourself is good thing. What a beautiful person you are. 💜
Thank you so much for a new journal entry Joji! Thank you for showing your real self. It makes it so much easier to know others, even role models, struggle at times. It was so nice it meet you last year in Magpie fibers! Based on your “Sweater Design” class I designed and knitted a sweater for my husband and he loves it and even wears it to work! Thank you for being an inspiration and a real human being!
You are so beautiful even with no makeup and love your new top you made. Amazing that you can do cables and lace without thinking much too. This past year was a year to love myself and sounds like your on that mission too. Stress and burnout is so hard right now for people. Praying you will let go and let God help you in your busy life a bit and know it's OK and you are amazing! Thank you for all you do❤
The closer I get to finishing a project , the more I worry that it is Not Good Enough! Joji you are such a great inspiration to hear you are Not Sure sometimes.
Great to catch up with you and have a glimpse of forthcoming creations. I find actively choosing to work with or wear bright colours is very positive for mental health. Quick finish objects also increase self esteem. Lovely to hear from you. Remember be kind to yourself 😊
Im not an Instagrammer so I only see your Journals. Thsnk you for the time you spend on these. They make me so happy and relaxed. It was your Journals that got me back into knitting after many many years- initially because you had a big size range. Then I fell in love with your patterns and journals at a time when my own mental health was spiralling. Knitting is also meditation and emotional support for me and your journals are the icing on the cake. Thank you
It is wonderful when people are transparent but also accepting of their mental health. It is so common and should be more acknowledged. There is no shame in it and if people were more transparent, it would reduce anxiety. Love your patterns and it’s really apparent that you are a genuine person! Thanks for being you, you’re an amazing designer - we are all blessed by your talent!
Joji, it's lovely to see you again. And seriously: you look amazing, with or without makeup. Thanks for being here for us. We love you and love seeing you and seeing all your creative patterns. Take care of yourself.
How have I not become familiar with you before now? You are a treasure! I so appreciate your knowledge, authenticity and generosity. Thank you for the beautiful hat pattern and everything you share.
Spending time with you always makes me happy! You have a joyful glow that comes from within - thanks for sharing it on your good days, and being open about your bad days ❤️
You always brighten My day, thank you for sharing your creative inspiration and your stash! We in the US will be eating too much next week and maybe putting up with rude family, so a bag of knitting is in order. We are growing cold while you embrace the warmth and Flowers. Enjoy without pressure 😘
It is always wonderful, when we lift each other up in those Izzy brain moments. I am so glad to know you find that from all of us knitters! Very awesome to see you in another Journal! It sounds like you are finding it’s ok to do a journal when it works, and ok to take breaks. Thank you for sharing your method for fuzzy days. I also like something simple that doesn’t require concentration at these times. I liked the scarf over the shoulder method! I’ll remember that! To me you always look beautiful. And your smile lights up anyone. Never forget that. That is a beautiful top! And the cable cardigan is gorgeous. I will watch for the pattern release. And a big thank you for the hat pattern! Knitter love right back at you!
It's so nice to see you again! Knitting helps me as well but sometimes I'm so low energy/mood that I don't even feel like knitting for a month. Usually that's when I buy yarn rather than using it. :)
Hello Joji. You do not need make up. So beautiful and talented, thank you so much for a twisted affair. Yes self care is put to the side too much. Take care. I love your Cardi!!!!❤
Lovely to visit with you. Your cabled top and cardigan look great, and thanks for the hat pattern! Thank you for being open and honest about your mental health. Wishing you good days! ❤
Love to see you. I just came back from the retreat on Bainbridge Island. It was fabulous. Love the hat and the future cardigan. Can’t wait to see you again.
Joji Thank you for the lovely hat pattern. It will be the first thing on my needles ( for myself) after I finish my holiday gift knitting. Thank you also for sharing your humanity so honestly. I know you have helped so many people by doing this. Sending love and good thoughts your way! ❤
Had to laugh about the scarf - thanks for keeping me company through surgery recovery Joji, the nightshades is what I designed my drop shoulder cardigan in from your class in Alaska ❤ it’s beautiful- lots of love, Lisa
I love your 2 new patterns & will look forward to knitting them whenever they are ready. (No pressure!) Thanks for the hat pattern! It will be the next hat on my needles. Love your vision & always enjoy wearing your designs. Sending love from Northern Virginia, USA. Take good care of yourself!
Thank you for sharing your designs, processes and life in general. I am new to cables and was happy to knit your Emery Vest, mistakes and all! I look forward to knitting your new cardigan 💪👏👍
Thank you so much for your patterns and in particular the hat. I need to try and make that though many years since doing cables. We have this yarn here in Australia and it is beautiful. You are a beautiful soul inside and out, take care ❤️👏🇳🇿
Thank you Joji!!! You are such a special person and I appreciate you being so honest about your life and feelings. We are all in this together and we can carry each other at different points in our lives.I wish you all the best and bushels of love!!! Thank you for the hat pattern❤❤❤😘
Lovely to see you and happy for you that you are feeling light and bright at the moment and able to enjoy it right now. Thank you for A Twisted Affair. It is a lovely hat pattern. I have made one already and started on my second. Your new design is looking fabulous. Thank you for sharing and for all you give to this community. x
Happy to be catching up on your Journal. That cardigan is stunning. I bookmarked it on IG as soon as I saw your WIP - definitely knitting this when the pattern is available.
Great to see you. I also find it difficult to knit for my teenage daughter. She's going to get fingerless mittens for her birthday. I think she'll like them because she's been curious about mine and i found yarn she likes in colour and feel (wool allergies). Many thanks for the cute hat pattern! I am patiently waiting for my brioche craze to be over then I will finally cast on your Milton pattern. Cheers from Canada.
I love your beautiful patterns! Thank you so much for the gift hat pattern. I made Solare last fall, and it gives me such a lift every time I wear it. I have an Instant Crush in progress, and an Elton jumping on my needles soon! Keep taking good care of yourself, we appreciate you so much.
Thanks loads for the free pattern Jojji🤣 Now I can make a hat for myself and in a Jojji original. Wow!!! Love the sweater it's gorgeous,I love cables. Unfortunately, I'm still a advanced beginner knitter and could never make one. Thanks for sharing your talent!
Thank you for once again for spending time with us. So nice to connect with you and your creativity once again. Also, thank you for your generosity in providing us knitters with beautiful hat pattern. Take care
I’m so glad blog again. I love to hear your thought processes on matching yarns with new designs. I think this is the hardest thing for me. I often can not use the same yarn as the sweater was designed for. For example, I can not wear mohair or alpaca. So listening to you talk about drape and grip of a yarn helps me understand what I need . Thank you
Thanks for another journal, I am looking forward to them. I am currently knitting the Stripy unicorn pattern for the second time, it is genius and gives a wonderful fit, I am knitting it in handspun yarn, and it is getting beautiful.
Loved the journal and seeing you! Jackie and I had a great time at the Knit Social Retreat in Bainbridge this past weekend. See you next year! Love the cabled cardigan!! Besos!
It’s been overcast and raining here for a week or so which is never good for my mood but one of your lovely Lara bags was delivered this morning so I’m getting a double Joji boost with this podcast as well today 😊it’s such a lovely fresh and uplifting colour and I added one of the lime keyrings to it for extra zing 💚
You are so amazing! Such immense / abundant flow of creativity… which can at times overwhelm us! But make no mistake you’re a pure delight… beautiful & so vulberably sharing! Wonderful to watch/ hear/ see you! A gift! Inspiring …! Thank you so very much! Blessings of light be yours…. Remember to “ breath thru your stitches”…. Allow that core source to release .. trust it! In light! Dianne
Joji I can totally relate with your mental health. I’ve been feeling similar just reaching my arms out to you for a big hug. Love you lots thank you for all that you do stay strong and when you can’t stay strong know that you don’t have to love you.❤
Thank you Joli for a lovely journal & sharing your mental health journey. You know that we’ll understand if there’s a time gap between journals & that we’ll be here when you return. My mental health absolutely could not & will not use anything from the Faroe Islands & it’s a place I could never visit. Sorry.
Joji. Great to see you. I also have had trouble making ribbing look good. Then I tried continental combination knitting ( Fiberchats has good instructional videos). Voila! My ribbing looks very consistent. I love it. You might want to give it a try! Basically you knit English style, and purl continental. Correct stitch mount on next row.
Hola, un fuerte abrazo, feliz de verte por aquí. Cuando te sientas deprimida o tengas dudas piensa que no estás sola, tienes una comunidad que te quiere y soporta y más que está linda comunidad tienes el gran amor de nuestro padre celestial que nunca nos abandona. El está siempre a nuestro lado siempre y siempre responde nuestras peticiones. Deja que El llene tu corazón con confianza que todo lo que te propongas El estará ahí para darte fuerza, sabiduría y amor sin importar las circunstancias. Me encantaría si publicaras tu nuevo cardigan en forma de pullover. Un fuerte abrazo
Love the hat pattern and the top and the sweater. I was in the mood for cables. Will the top be easy to have a shallower armhole for more petite persons? Thank you for your wonderful designs and your generosity.
It is always great to hear from you! Your enthusiasm bubbles up, and we talk knitting - thank you, Joji!

What a wonderful surprise to see you sooner than regular.
The sweater is gorgeous and I real like the hat.
Hope to see you soon again.

Watching you helps me with my mental health. Thank you so much.
Take care and be gentle to yourself 🩷
I am knitting a twisted affair hat while watching your podcast. Such a fun easy knit. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Thank you for the hat pattern it will make a great gift! Always great to see your podcasts you are beautiful with or without fixing up💕
Thank you for being so open about mental health Joji, it is difficult and so tiering. So it is helpful to hear that we are not alone in that 🙏🏼
I love the look of the cabled cardigan, and the way it looks like it will fit! Take care of yourself, Joji. Love from Holland.
You always brighten My day, thank you for sharing your creative inspiration and your stash! We in the US will be eating too much next week and maybe putting up with rude family, so a bag of knitting is in order. We are growing cold while you embrace the warmth and Flowers. Enjoy without pressure 😘
Thank you for your twisted affair hat. I downloaded the pattern yesterday. Take care, Joji!
Joji, I’m in love with that cardigan you are working on! I’m going to stop all my wips and knit it as soon as it comes out! It’s a dream!!! ❤
It is always wonderful, when we lift each other up in those Izzy brain moments. I am so glad to know you find that from all of us knitters!
