❤️❤️❤️ the sweetest words 🥰 I love you 🩷

First time watching your channel. I’m so sorry you had a hard year. I too understand the need to knit for therapy. Also pretty yarn makes me happy. I was trying to knit fast and more and more but realize it’s stressful and now realize I need to stop slowdown and enjoy the process. Cheers to you and hope you continue healing.

You're so right. It's so easy to lose yourself in something you think will make you happier, but it doesn't always work. It's great that you found your own way now and found your joy in knitting ❤️

Watching for the first time. How wise you are to understand that you needed to step back and take care of yourself! I’ll look forward to watching your journey continue. Knitting is wonderful therapy.

Welcome to this therapyknitting corner 🥰 It wasn't easy to do, but I'm so glad I did take a step back. Hopefully knitting will keep helping you

Hi! Thanks for sharing. I can relate so much. I am a teacher and I also experienced severe burnout as a result of the pandemic and ended up retiring early and knitting A LOT in 2023. I find knitting such a soothing and joyful practice. I am so grateful for this craft and community. I plan to return to teaching part time a substitute this year because I do miss it. Hopefully, I can find a healthier balance. Anyway, best wishes for 2024!

I just started the video and I want to give you a hug! I did something similar in 2021-22 where I took a step back to heal and work on myself. Of course, it's an ongoing project, and I had to return to the world, but I'm so glad I had the opportunity to take that time. All that "thinking about your thinking" and learning/utilizing coping tools is EXHAUSTING and really hard work. I'm so proud of you for taking care of yourself!

I too got back into knitting because of Covid. I live alone and tell people that I "had" to knit to keep my sanity. Now that covid is over, I'm trying to knit less and get out of the house to join fun activities/clubs.

Yes that is something I really want to do more! Connection with people and meeting new people. Knitting is fun, but I don't want it to be the only thing I do anymore

You can take some sewing thread and make tiny stitches at the ends of each of your buttonholes on your cardigan to make them smaller, so the buttons don't fall out.

Happy new Year, I just met your channel. speaking of introductions, I can fully confirm that I too am a person for whom knitting is therapy. I always knew it, but seeing the intensity with which I started knitting in the last couple of years and analyzing how I feel, I can say, yes, it is my therapy that gives me inner balance and peace.

Hi Claudia. I love your enthusiasm over colour. Have you heard of the colour seasons theory regarding which tones of a colour suit us best? I’d say you are a “summer”, which has cooler skin, eye and hair tone. So, according to this, cooler tones of say pink will suit you most. There’s loads of videos on KZread about it. I don’t always stick to it cos sometimes I just choose a colour cos I like it, but I do find it useful to know.

Hi Mandy! Well I had a coloranalysis a couple of years ago and I was a summer/winter so you are totally right! I think I can handle the saturated jewel tones of the winter, but also the softer colorful tones of the summer. I think it depends on the color which one is my preference. And I know all kinds of blue suit me really well. But as you say, sometime you just want a color that you like

Love your content! 😊

I’ve been through your “year 2023” myself. I’m sorry I wasn’t a knitter then, and I’m so happy you found comfort in such a rewarding and colorful craft. PS that Monday sweater would cheer up anyone even on the grayest day! Great color! ❤. And your knitting skill is exquisite!

I’d wear the Barbroe top with a black skirt or white with a loose black belt on my hips and just pull a small amount of the top over the belt so you can still see the belt with a bit of the top draping over the top of the belt. All your knits are wonderful and I hope you have a great 24 in your new apartment, hugs to you for your healing heart.

Wow, that rainbow tweedy cardigan in the end is STUNNING! I really appreciate people using colors other than greige, beige and off white. I discovered natural + tweed for myself and want to use a rainbow tweed in the future (i think there´s a shade of peer gynt but my lys didn´t carry that one today) And I must agree that the Peruvian Highland Wool is such a wonderful yarn. It must be one of my favorites at this point. I made the Pippi Pullover out of it and have been living in it for 2 months and the pilling is not that noticable and the sweater keeps me warm in my 17° apartment. Just now I´m making my first pair of mitts using Peruvian again and it´s so wonderful to knit with. This year I´m planning to make more small projects that I can gift to people because I only need that many knit sweaters for myself.

So nice to see all those colors in your knits, and I do have to say I quite like the color choice and the fit of your Sonja sweater ! But my favorite knit of yours would have to be the Cardigan n°8, this yarn combo just seem so precious and really up my alley ! (did you hold any of those double while making the cardigan ?)

Wat een jaar voor jou... Heftig, maar het klinkt ook alsof je er een creatieve draai aan hebt kunnen geven en een mooie uitlaatklep hebt in het breien. Het obsessieve is herkenbaar... En de armpijn ook 🙈 ik heb veel garen gekocht op marktplaats. Je kunt soms echt mooie dingen vinden. Geen trui-hoeveelheden vaak, maar wel voor kleinere projecten. Ik wens je een rustig jaar met minder brei-uren 😉
