My two year old heard the intro music and comes running to me yelling “My Jana!” Needless to say, you are a favorite in our house 💕

Your cardigan is fabulous! I agree with you about the time change - I am still waking up an hour early! And spring is nowhere to be seen here in NW Greece. It’s cold, raining, snowing on the mountains and windy… but you always cheer me up! Thank you!
Well I never thought I would need a granny square cardigan, but my goodness! Yours is wonderful! 💜
Sorry you are sick. Get well soon. So enjoy your channel 😊❤
Children never do well with time changes. I agree we should stick to one and not change. I love your granny square sweater, just beautiful. Wish your husband a belated birthday. Take care.❤️❤️
Sophia looks great in her new hat bless her
That fashion show needs to be a reel on your Instagram. I want to show the teenager kid, I think she would want one!
Thank you for recording when you're not well. I love your cardigan!! And Sophia's hat, great colors!! Mom life, feel like crap but still doing it all! So happy Sophia is getting the help she needs and the therapist is a good fit.💓
I’m with you Jana about clock changes hate it feel awful for ages get well soon
Happy Birthday Mr. Kettu!! That's what I call your Husband. I am still in love with the Terrazo sweater, beyond and above and beautiful! So great to see you. The snow is absolutely breathtaking.

I love that beautiful hat on the lovely Sophia. !
Hope you are feeling better quickly. Love the granny cardigan so much. I have started gathering yarns for my own. Here in Texas we have thunderstorms and then yesterday it was almost 90°F. At the yarn shop we had to turn the AC on. Happy birthday to Mr. Finnish Knittung.
Love the granny cardigan. So cheerful.
OMG, I love that granny square cardigan, and I want it....looks amazing, AMAZING!
Your granny square cardigan is genius, love love love 💕
Thank you for recording Jana. Your cardigan is very pretty. Wishing you all the best. Get well soon.
The knitted rib totally makes the cardigan. So clever.x
Your granny square cardigan is very spring like. Love the bright colours.
Get well soon ❤
Your crochet cardigan is beautiful. I love that you did knitted ribbing, it finishes it off so nicely. ❤
Thank you Jana. Feel better soon. xXx💖
Look after yourself my dear Jana! Hope you are feeling better soon. Your cardigan is just amazing! Well done with it😍
Hello Jana, sending you lots of health and sunshine from sunny and hot Florida ❤
Absolutely love that crochet granny square cardigan! I so want one now- you influencer! It looks great on you. We are having quite a bit of snow dumped on us today. We typically have snow on the ground about 8 months out of the year, though. We had an especially rainy summer and the snow started a little earlier than usual, now it is Spring, but the weather didn't get that memo. I love to watch your channel on Saturday mornings while drinking coffee. thanks for the ray of sunshine today, Jana! Happy Birthday to your hubby, too.
Fabulous crochet/knit sweater!!!! Absolutely beautiful!❤
Get well soon, dear Jana. Happy rest of the weekend
Uh oh, now I need a granny square cardigan 😆 I don't need a new laptop - mine is 13 years old and I managed to get a new battery for $45 just 2 years ago. I also don't need a new phone - my 8yo one still makes and takes calls. Even my 37 year old sewing machine is still going great 😂 New all the time is for bored people, I'm too busy to go shopping for things - plenty of time to shop for yarn and fabric, but not machines or tech
I love your Granny Square Cardigan it is simply stunning. I am enjoying your springvlog. Heippa Jana
Your cardigan turned out lovely. Think Spring 🧶
Your stormtrooper knit is incredible!!! I yelled out loud when you showed it! And your cardigan, not enough words. It is so beautiful! The knit rib makes it so polished. I so enjoy having this time you share with us. What a treat!

Thank you! I think I'm also surprised about the fit. 😄 I think mohair helped a lot, it's not stiff at all.
Loved the colours in your Grannie Cardi. Hope you get better soon.
Squeeeeel 🎉 I love your granny sweater!!
Sorry your not feeling well, hope you feel soon. I love your frog, she is lovely with her knitting. Your cardigan looks lovely, the ribbing turned out wonderful. I too have an older computer, it's from 2014, and it also needed a new battery but fortunately my husband was able to find another and change it. I can't wait for spring, we have lots of rain, and it's been very dark out.
That sounds like Olivier salad! Yum!!
I love the crochet/ knit combination. Very pretty.
I want a granny jacket too. Just gorgeous…. I agree on the time change, it’s so ridiculous….😊
Wow Jana, your cardigan is gorgeous beautiful❤
Sophia and her hat are both gorgeous!! You did an outstanding job on your Granny square cardigan!! Absolutely beautiful!! Hope you are better very soon!!
❤❤❤sooo beautiful,your cardigan...it will look absolutely great with your summer dressess
Hello from Switzerland🇨🇭 Spring is here and with it the pollen & allergies! And since February, lots of people here are having „colds“, I think it is because during pandemy the immune systems have decreased (hope you understand, English is not my mothertongue). But I am fine. Your cardigan is gorgeous, the color choice is so much YOU. The choice for it to be fitted is perfect, bigger and it would be looking like a blanket on you. The knitted borders are flattering, too. Generally crochet always makes a dense and heavy fabric and not so squishy as knitwear. Thanks for filming even when you are not fit, it is perfectly ok if it is shorter. Much better short than none, so I do not worry. Wishing you and your family good health and lots of laughter…. ❤️🧶🧑🏻🦰
Omg it IS GLORIOUS!! I love it, too! That cardigan ❤!
Dear Jana, hope you are feeling better soon! Thank´s for recording even when feeling down and tired. Your granny square cardigan is great! And I totally share your feelings about IT Items: i think I used my first mobile phone for 16 years! And I hate to have to change to new devices. Hope you ´ll find a good solution for your website maintenance. Best wishes and may spring arrive in your part of the world soon! 🌷☀️ love Christina from Austria
The dream cardigan is so pretty!
Your Granny Squares Cardigan is absolutely beautiful. The lovely blush color you chose to join all the brightly colored squares is perfect. How clever of you to introduce knitted ribbing along with the crocheted body. It looks stunning on you, Jana. Your episodes always lift my spirits.
I love your granny square cardigan. Happy birthday to your husband ! I hope you get to feeling better. I’m knitting a dishcloth while watching your video. I want to make quite a few and give some to my daughter. I’m having a lot of problems getting socks knitted. Now I knitted 3 inches toe up and made a bad mistake and if I frogged I couldn’t pickup the stitches. I’m sure one day I’ll get a pair done lol I’ve got a few things to knit on my list . I did start a granny spike afghan. I’ve got 10 rows done. I was going to gift it to a family member but these days people do not understand the time and love that goes into an item. I heard a knitter say that they would only knit for themselves because people really do not appreciate what you put into something you made. I agree but I have a big heart and like giving. I’ve rattled on lol Enjoy your family dinner ‘
your granny square cardigan is fabulous.
Your granny square cardigan is lovely!
The crochet cardigan looks really lovely on you. Good placement of th esquires and colours that suit you. Love the nail polish 😁
The cardigan 🤩🤩🤩. Hope you feel beter soon 😘

Hi Jana, your weather looks like the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, USA. Love Sophia's new hat! Beautiful. Your granny square sweater turned out real pretty. I have a pattern for a baby sweater thatbis knit but the crochet the button band. Sorry you are not feeling well! Hope and pray you heal quickly!
Hi Jana, thank you so much for the very nice podcast, your daughter is adorable, love your sweater, hope you get feeling better soon. Sending hugs
Take care of yourself so you'll get well. Lack of sleep makes your resistance low. It's so hard to get rest when you're a mom of young children. I wish you luck...and help from your husband! Spring in Maine is non-existent until May, usually. I'm knitting a Sophie Scarf. I love the pattern: the way the i-cord edging looks against the garter, with smallish size needles US 4.

Spring in Wisconsin is snow, wind, tornado weather, mud. We had a severe thunderstorm and a tree fell in our backyard. Had to saw it up today. Won't be able to plant anything until May. Like all your makes, your sweater is beautiful. You sure did that up quickly! I am working on a corner to corner afghan.

You have such a gift for picking colors that go together! So soft looking. Love the knit ribbing really sets it off and makes it look so much more finished. Get well soon!
Hello Jana, I love Sofia's hat. She did a great job picking the colors and modeling it for us. Your scrappy granny cardigan is just beautiful. The bright cheery colors and knitted ribbing/button band makes it so sophisticated. I was knitting a sock with you during the knit and chat. Thanks for toughing it out and doing a vlog for us, I hope you feel better soon. ❤ Love from USA.
Beautiful cardigan ❤
Dear Jana, your granny square project so inspired me that I had to start one. I am making The Continuous granny Square Shrug by Michelle Greenberg. It is a free project on ravelry. I too am using scrappy yarn given 😂to me. I’m putting two strands together to get a #4 yarn. I love your cheery colors, sorry you are under the weather, hope you feel well soon. I’m making potato salad today also . I feel I have a friend in Finland Sincerely Carolyn Bjerk USA
Oh that granny square jacket turned out so nice! I actually like it better when it is crochet and knitting to finish. And your answer to the back neck problem is perfect. Love the sweater you are wearing. That it's made with Noro yarn is why it's so beautiful! I hope you feel better soon. We have had a lot of allergies here as well
