Beautiful talk about ego and judgement and connectedness. We are all part of source. Yes, to walking around “loosely!” ♥️🐑♥️🐑♥️

I loved your podcast, what a delightful time with you

You're podcasts are so delightful Helle. I'm always happy when a new video pops up in my feed. You've taken the format to a new and fascinating place.

Aw that’s so kind of you to say, thank you 😌🤍

Thank you for the little lesson in not judging all that we see and experience. And instead come with an open & neutral mind with no expectations. We can never fully experience a thing if we have a preconceived notion of what that something is. Instead, we can just trust and allow things to be revealed in their own way. ❤

Thank you for keeping me company this month as I sit, knit and sip my coffee in the mornings. I have watched all your videos. You have inspired me with your knitting, you have added to my travel destination wish list and you have given me food for thought. I think that is time well spent. 🇨🇦

I listen to you today (2/14/2024- Happy Valiant Human Day! - my renaming of Valentines' Day) while I do the hand finishing on a luxurious cashmere coat I am altering for a customer. I loved hearing the Rumi poem. Thank you, It is one of my favorites. I keep it on the inside of my front door. Here is another of my favorite quotes that I have returned to again and again to to help me cultivate neutrality, and freely Loving myself and Other. It is by William Blake; - " He who bends to himself a Joy, does the winged Life destroy, but he who kisses the Joy as it flies, lives in Eternity's sunrise. "

Thank you. I always enjoy your choices and aesthetic -- but that shawl! I love the idea of wrapping myself in armor; the color is perfect.

Oh, cables….. love….hate… I’ve made one sweater with cables for my husband. It is a cardigan with full zipper and the cables ran on each side of the zipper. It was his Christmas gift last year which he finally got just before Easter. I think I will stick to hats, mitts, etc for a while. 😉

Flax (Flachs in german language) is the plant. Linen (Leinen in german language) is the fiber /woven fabric. 😊 I love your podcast so much, also the videos of your jouneys. Your knitted garments are gorgeous. You are one of the most talented makers I have ever met. 👍💖 Huggs from Fairy Tale Cottage, Schurwald Forest, Germany. 🌲 🌲 🌲 💟

IF YOU DON’T WANT I WILL GLADLY TAKE IT OFF YOU HANDS, ITS ABOVE MY ABILITY. BAD ARTHRITIS 😢 I SO ENJOY YOUR SHOW , YOU HAVE A PEACEFUL CADENCE. THANK YOU

Loved the video today. The inspirational quote and the wonderful array of knits. Thank you. 🇬🇧

Hi Helle! I’m back with my usual wall of text, but there’s just so much I want to respond to. 😂 I did exactly the same thing with vests. I would see them in my Ravelry travels and think “Nice, but not for me”, until I ran across the Dige Vest (made with Woolfolk Fleck) and fell in love. I made one, and it has become one of my very favorite pieces, so now I never discount any category completely. Lesson learned. 😏 Re: Stubbornness and so forth - YES. My daughter is Autistic, and one of the things we work on is flexibility. If you can’t have exactly the thing you want, there’s a lot to be said for making do with what you can have, or “going with the flow” so to speak. It makes for a much more peaceful and enjoyable life if you’re not walking around miserable all the time, and you can open yourself to new things and experiences. I try to not judge anything or anyone until I have a lot of information, and even then - life is complicated, and I don’t necessarily believe anything is “good” or “bad”. There’s a lot more to it than that. Re: steeking - I know nothing about the subject, I'm afraid, so can't offer advice, but I look forward to seeing where you take it! I found out after knitting my Nordic knitalong project that I can't wear baby alpaca, even with a long sleeved shirt underneath it. Sooooo, I completely relate to your sensitive skin issues - I am quite the delicate flower myself. 🤣 All of your work is beautiful, but wow, that shawl is incredible! I’ve never looked twice at that pattern before, but the color you chose is stunning. There’s a real depth to it I’ve never seen in any of the project pictures. 😍 I think Loop of London is adorable! I follow them on Instagram, and I would love to be able to pop over for a visit someday. Their shop looks very sweet and cozy. If you ever need a Woolfolk mule, just let me know. They’re semi-local to me, so my favorite yarn shop stocks all of their stuff, and we don’t pay sales tax here, so it would just be actual yarn cost + shipping. ☺ Thank you for another lovely video that kept me company while I knit! 🥰

Hi Helle, I am such a beginner knitter LOL but I just love watching your video's not only for your knitting projects and inspiration but your deep insights into our human condition.

Oh, thank you for your lovely comment ✨🤍

Loved the podcast today. I knit the Helix 2 years ago in that labien aimee hot pink to honor that scary journey. To date a fabulous sweater that is worn often. Not too hot and is perfect in summer as well. Cheers.

Your comments here reminded me of the news, some years ago, of the results of a survey done by some large organization, to find the "happiest people on the planet." The winners were the Danes, the reason being their "reasonable expectations of life." 🙂

I love cables. A lovely visit today. Thank you. Your knitting is inspiring.

I am just finishing the Half and Half triangle wrap with Holst Garn yarn. I would like to participate in your Nordic Kal , try to enter on Ravelry but was not able to. Always love your podcast, you are one of my favourite

Lovely WIPs and finished object. Thank you for sharing.

Good morning I am a big fan of cables also . I think the purple sweater would make a nice vest. G

The Flamingo color will be beautiful on you!

The Nordic Knitalong certainly inspired me too and I finished a few from Nordic designers. My favourite was the Kuutar Top which was in one of the first I watched of your episodes. I look forward to all of your episodes now. You are such a lovely knitting companion and your mindful sidebars and quotes are always spot on. 😊❤🧶

Thank you for another interesting video. I love that you include the poems! Love all the different content.

Din rosa sweater i Isager Merilin og silke-mohair bliver sindssygt flot til dig. Glæder mig til, at se den på dig.

Thanks so much for another great podcast.

I love all your projects and choice of yarn and colors , everything in this episode is absolutely beautiful 😍

I love all of the adjectives and sentiments shared regarding one's knitting❤

Hej Helle 😊 jeg blev præsenteret for dine podcasts af en sød veninde, som mente, at de måtte være noget for mig. Og mon ikke ☺️ du gjorde min juleferie ekstra hyggelig. Jeg slugte først alle dine strikke-podcasts, og da der ikke var flere af dem, blev det til dine og familiens rejser. Ja det endte med, at jeg så alt fra start til slut 😄 og nøj jeg hyggede mig. Jeg blev super glad, da jeg så, at du nu havde lavet et nyt afsnit 😊, og det var lige så hyggeligt og inspirerende, som alle de andre har været. Tak for dig ☺️

I love to see you reaching for colors outside of your colorwheel. Love the choices. Thanks for your videos.

Thanx for this lovely episode and the Rumi quote , very inspiring!

Your knits are beautiful and an inspiration. Thank you for sharing the with us.

I recently bought a yarn both for the color but also for the name, and go figure, it was also la bien aimee 😂 I was looking for a lush green for the Horse Banner Fingerless Mitts, which is a Lord of the Rings inspired pattern, and la bien aimee had the most delicious green named The Shire! Of course I had t have it, even though it was very expensive. Totally worth it though, the mitts turned out gorgeous, and I have enough left over I want to use it for the details on a Mårvej Sweater Light!

Absolutely agree sometimes just the name of a pattern makes me dream about a place, a moment, a memory. Love your podcast 🩶🩵

Your podcasts are so lovely ❤️ Enjoying them from Alberta, Canada. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely projects and I loved the philosophy talk too!

Thank you, I enjoy seeing your beautiful knits and yarns, Im trying my first project with holding mohair with my yarn. You've inspired me!

I love when you start your podcast talking about the weather, and a saying also your geography was good. I really love the pink/ red yarn it will be stunning. The Loop looks like a great shop. Thank you

♥ from 🇦🇺. Always a relaxing pleasure to watch. It has been interesting watching you grow and expand your choices in patterns, yarn and colours. Thank you.

The quotation makes a lot of sense. Thank you, Helle!

Thanks for another lovely episode. I love all your knits. That shawl in blue by Teti is stunning! ❤and the pink Isager knit is also sooo beautiful.

Thank your for a another inspiring video. It's so nice til sit and knit with your company and I love when you share nice philosophic thoughts. I really would like a place where nothing is right and nothing is wrong, it only is..... 😍🌷🌷🌷

I enjoy your quotes. Lately, I have had cables on my mind. Thankyou for giving me more inspiration for getting a cable project started. Your knits are beautiful.

I have been knitting the dirty caramel sweater designed by Kutovakika. I also could bring the word around knitting: calming because i was attacked by a man with a knive at my job years ago. That gave me the diagnose PTSD and that causes overwhelming thoughts and anxiety and knitting helps

So sorry to hear that. Glad that tour knitting helps. I have a woman in my yoga class who has ptsd, and the yoga & relaxation helps her a lot. Maybe an idea? 💙

Hej Helle. So lovely to spend a Friday evening knitting in your company. Loved the quote and the words and of course all your lovely projects.

I agree I love tonal colors so much more than a perfectly evenly dyed yarn, you do beautiful work,lovely sweater.

Thank you again for spending time with me while I work on my Garden Cardigan by Ankestrick. I’m loving it!

You do very beautiful knitting! It’s really amazing! 👌🏻👍🏼

Hello. I really enjoy every minute of your podcasts. I'm going to take a look at that gorgeous armour shawl. I've been off shawls for awhile but feel drawn to that one. It's beautiful as are all of your knits. Thank you.

Thanks Helle! The La Bien Aimee coral pink tone is so beautiful - it'll be fun to see what you choose to knit with it. Remaining open and non-judgemental in anticipation of life in general is a wonderful reminder of a 'a way of being'.

I enjoy watching your knitting episodes and find your musings, knitting projects and plans inspirational. I, also, enjoyed participating in the #nordicknitalong. As a participant, I knitted the Sarang sweater by Aegyoknit and the Rococo and Tritone pullovers by Sari Nordlund. Thank you.

Omg, your Javelin shawl looks amazing😍😍😍 I was looking at this shawl for some time too, and now I think is a time to cast it on 😊

Thank you so much - you are always so inspiring! Love to join the nordicknitalong with my first lace project from Sari Nordlund 💕 Your style and colours are beautiful!

I live in the UK and have visited Loop several times. They are my go to on line store too. Fabulous podcast as usual, thank you for sharing your wonderful WIPs and FOs, the Javelin may be going int my queue

What a coincidence! I bought yarn for my Lunae shawl at Loop London. It’s a beautiful piece and a beautiful place. I really enjoy your podcast. Thank you for such great content.

The deep blue shawl is going to be fabulous on you.

Your knitting projects very beautifull, i like your podcast ,greetings from the Netherlands 🌷

Thank you for a lovely podcast. I have been knitting the Twist Loop Sweater from Otherloops

Oh I just realized I had something to post for a Nordic design. How delightful to find fellow knitting podcasters near your home and talk knitting. Love your knitting

I have been wondering when I would see inside that yarn shop since you mentioned that on your travel video. As far as your KAL, I have been working on the sweater Suolaulu using Rauma Garn Finull. Thanks for sharing. I get so much inspiration from you!

Thank you Helle for another wonderful podcast. Such beautiful textural knits 🥰 in such gorgeous colours. I love Rumi and that quote always makes me exhale and smile. Words are magic! Nordic knitalong, I just realised I did an “other loops” pattern recently so I’m in 💪🏻😂 Thanks for sharing, happy knitting, Karen 🥰

Wow, everything you said at the beginning all just hit me exactly where I needed today. I know this was a couple of weeks ago, but it was for me today. Thanks for your words of wisdom 🙏. I'm a knew knitter. I'm maybe 1 month into this fun hobby. I am so that person who buys wool and yarn because I love it with no plan at all. I've finally understood why that is not ok 😕. But you're right. You like the things you like. I've done a couple of cable things for my first projects, and anyone who's a pro knitter looks at me asking cable already? I didn't know why they looked at me like that until now. Apparently, I jumped head first into knitting. I get bored of easy stiches, so I do need something different as I go. I've done maybe 10 hats but using super bulky yarn so I can see a project finish and fill accomplish faster. I want to work on so many things but only have two hands. 😕 I really just want to practice making things just so i can get into sweaters and lacy tops. My favorite items I want to make are sweaters that are very female looking. Something with bell sleeves and a very beautiful look to it. That you know a woman wears it. That's my kind of look. Thanks for your videos. I've watched a few of your videos now and love listening to you talk. ❤

Thanks great colors winterfell and the pink sweater Loop London on my list to visit

Hello from British Columbia, Canada. I just love everything you knit. The style and colors fit my taste perfectly, even if I don't know it until I see your finished pieces! I plan to replicate some if I can find the right yarns.

Thank you for another beautiful podcast. I really loved the video from Loop of London. I enjoy seeing yarn shops, likely those I will never visit in person. Your knits are absolutely stunning. The vest you are working on is so gorgeous and the cables are so squishy looking. I love suri yarn as well , there does not seem to the quantity relative to other yarns. Looking forward to your next podcast.

Just love all your knits. You are a very good knitter. I’m so excited to see what you make. I haven’t started sweaters yet but I’m running a bit hot. I’m from Canada 🇨🇦 in Ontario, the Toronto area and we’ve had a very mild winter. The east coast and the west coast of Canada have been hit hard with snow and cold temperatures but not here in Ontario. So nice to see you, take care !!

Hi from NEW Zealand 👋😁

Hi from Paris/France ! Thank you to make me travelling in beautiful and peaceful Denmark and wonderful projects, colors and yarns ! See you soon !

Oh wow!! You are a cable queen!! So many beautiful patterns but I’ll be keeping an eye out for the Eurus vest!! That would be fun!

I really enjoy your podcast as I am a fellow fynbo living in the US! You are such a productive and skilled knitter and I love all the finished products. I both knit and sew and have lost my knitting mojo at the moment but enjoy watching other peoples knitting for inspiration. I really like the deep blue/black LBA color for the beautiful shawl you are knitting. It is very flattering with your skin tone and brings out your eyes. ❤️🧶🇩🇰

Lovely to have to back, Helle. I knit the Ballerina by Hanne Falkenberg and I love how swingy it is.

As for the knitalong! I'm currently knitting a simple blouse using Önling yarn AND an Önling pattern! Evelyn Blouse, though I'm skipping the stripes and just doing the ribbing in a contrast color :)

As always I really enjoy your podcast. I am actually travelling to London in March. I was planning to visit Loop of London. Now I definitely will. Thanks for the review.

Oh wow! That neon pink is so lovely and happy. Knitting to me is contentment, or life pause.

I do enjoy watching your videos. Your work is beautiful and inspires me to knit more, rather than crochet. I personally think the colour of the shawl will be stunning with your complexion. Warm regards from Brisbane, Australia.

So enjoyable to share some knitting time with you! Thanks again for a lovely podcast. Every time I watch your podcast I find myself adding another sweater pattern to my wish list. This time it is the Cardi Cocoon. Just finished the Moby sweater by Petite Knit in Sweet Georgia yarn which is local to me.

Thank you again for a most inspiring podcast. I always come away with some great ideas for future projects. Seeing what you have chosen to knit and using those luscious yarns encourages me to keep exploring the world of knitting!😊. I will post on Ravelry at your knitalong to show the Klukka I knit from Lopi yarn, fit perfectly and first time with that yarn and pattern. I’m also a redhead with sensitive skin but have found I can wear this dress with a turtleneck and tights comfortably.

One of my words is "Generational" I often think to myself when I am knitting of women throughout history sitting around in fellowship with other women knitting and creating for survival. The socks for war, the sweater for comfort, the hat for the cold. I reflect that as I stitch, women all over the world now are creating as women have done for centuries before. It feels like a string connects us all through time and space. Anyway, that is my thought. Thank you for the continued inspiration and education.

A lovely poem to begin your podcast. I am also attracted to yarns for their names, and sometimes, put off yarns for the same reason. Such beautiful knits again in this podcast. It was a treat to see inside Loop. I could spend hours in yarn shops, almost as long as I can spend in book shops! I enjoyed the many and varied words on knitting. Thank you for your company while I sit and knit. And I love cables. I would try to take part if you did another knitalong, I was too late for this one.

Thanks for your suggestions. The Nightingale ist a wonderful sweater. Like the Style of your knitwear. Greetings from germany

Thank you so much for sharing with all of us. I've recently finished a gift Elinore shawl kit from önling, and I love it. You always knit great patterns and introduced me to Nordic design......thank you. I have the Esmeralda sweater pattern by Katrine Hannibal next on my needles.

It was so nice having you over for a bit (or lot of talk 😂🙈) and as always lovely watching a new episode 🤍

Tak, Lærke 😍 Vi må gøre det igen ❤️

Love your podcast. :) I've recently finished the Glittering Snowscapes shawl in Holst Garn SuperSoft. It is my 3rd Steven West shawl in this yarn, and I love them all. They are so very light and squishy. I also knit the Field Sweater in the recommended Isager Eco Baby, and a Gro Hat by Fiber Tales in the leftovers. That yarn has an interesting texture - almost soapy, and it is very drapey, almost like it thinks it is a liquid.

Thank you for such a relaxing podcast. As I listened Iworked on knitting the two sleeves at once on the Saglan sweater by Ailbiona McLochlainn which initially had seemed to take so long but I now realize I'm almost done. 😊

i was one of Teti's test-knitters for the Javelin shawl, and i LOVE mine -- and yours in Winterfell looks like it will be amazing (and a great color on you, in my distant opinion). bravo! plus i similarly visited Loop on my first-ever trip to London last May (from Iceland) -- amazing how much they pack into such a tiny space! lastly, so funny that I'm also in a Nordic country but wasn't aware of your Nordic KAL -- i'll go check out the Ravelry group... (and if you ever decide to try plütolopi again, try swatching it with a mohair or suri alpaca strand -- it's luscious)

I love watching your podcasts. You are so inspiring to me I'd love to ender the Nordic knit along! I'm currently on the last sleeve on my cinama sweater by kutovakika and in December I finished my fist ever sweater which was the salty days sweater by kutovakika. I love that she has video tutorials for her patterns.

Loved seeing you and your knits today ❤ thank you for sharing all the beautiful knitting words. Mine is “lifeline”. It saved me and now it tethers me. 🪁 I haven’t posted a full writeup of my son’s Icelandic Riddari in Letlopi as part of the Nordic knit along, but I hope so soon. Now I’m on to another one for my husband. Happy to be considered for the giveaway, Helle ❤
