    Laerke, it is always a wonderful surprise when a podcast from you pops up! I think we just love to hear your sweet voice, to hear that you are well and happy, to see where you live and if there is wool and knitting talk as well, that’s also great!

    your first shawl is THE one that i’ve been looking for - no pressure, but i can’t wait til you release the pattern :). enjoy your lovely new home and area. 🧶☀️

    Perfect timing on your part (at least for me ;)) to „resume“ podcasting, we bought our dream home and moved last autumn and with me having a baby in early december there was no time for me to follow any podcasts. I‘m so happy you are back right in time for when I start to have some me-time. I love your aesthetic and your way of talking about knitwear - always feels super cozy. So: thank you!

    I really enjoyed your podcast - so nice to hear the latest beautiful developments in your life and to see your latest designs in the development. I love seeing how you are decorating your new house- it reflects your artful sensibilities that are also reflected in your designs in wool. So good you got to go to Italy for a week by yourself and re-connect with people there. Thanks for sharing it all ♥

    First time viewer here and new subscriber :)! Really enjoyed this, very calming and engaging. I've been looking for a shawl pattern for some time now, and have yet to find one I can really see myself getting a lot of use out of. But the first shawl you showed is exactly what I've been looking for!! Looking forward to when you're able to release the pattern. Also loved to hear about how you've been spending your time besides knitting. Wishing you well!

    The word you are looking for is the adjective, 'lustrous.' or the noun 'luster' ie 'The yarn has a lustrous sheen' This word can be used to describe yarn, human hair, fabrics, etc. Luster is the noun for the light that comes from the object, ie 'the luster of the yarn.'

    Dear Lærke, so wonderful to see you and hear from you. Sometimes I wonder if i should write my comments in german because the english words are missing. I love where you live, the nature, the design of your house. I love how your interior looks like and I am very happy to see you again. You look very satisfied and relaxed and I think it is a great thing to work from home. I would love to do that, too. Your new outcoming patterns are stunnish. I will buy both of them and perhaps I will be able to get my hands on your wonderful yarns. Hope to see you soon. Best wishes from Germany. P.S.: Not long ago my husband was on your island for work. He asked me to go to your house, ring your bell, and get an autograph for me. I was like. "No, that will be embarassing. I even do not know her adress." Now I think, well it would be nice he asked for some yarn to buy... 😂

So glad your family is doing well, Grandma! ;) What fun to hear about your winter dips. I've recently become part of my first knitting group and it's all ladies much older than me and I am enjoying their company immensely. I am looking forward to your shop update and hope to snag some of that gorgeous charcoal color!

    Hello, I just saw your Vlog for the first time. I love your calm voice, serene surroundings and of course the projects and yarn. I absolutely love your triangular shawl. I have a question about plotulopi; does the yarn break often or have enough strength in the finished shawl? I imagine the kid silk mohair provides some strength.

    So lovely to see you back again Lærke.. I wondered how your move went. Your new home looks wonderful! Absolutely love your new shawl.. and I think the word you were looking for when describing the shine of the wool is 'halo'.. that lovley fuzziness that comes from using mohair/suri 🫶 I would love to make your new shawl in the charcoal colourway.. though probably won't be any left by the time I wake up 😊
