    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 !!!

    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. 😊

    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!

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.

    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.

    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.
