Dear all!
Welcome to my channel! My name is Malene. I am a Danish knitter living in the Northern part of Denmark with my husband, our two girls and two cats.
This is my space where I talk about knitting and sprinkle it with a little piano music, played by me. I hope you will enjoy and I invite you to sit back, relax and let your stitches flow😊🎵💖
Kære alle!
Velkommen til Strik og Musik. En kanal fyldt med strik blandet med musik fordi strik og musik giver det mest fantastiske fællesskab. Jeg håber I har lyst til at se og strikke med og jeg inviterer jer til at smække benene op, læne jer godt tilbage og lade maskerne flyde😊🎵💖

Greetings Malene! It was 102 F last week here in Denver, Colorado, USA! I have a couple of socks on my needles right now. I have also been working on a few summer tops. Thank you for sharing some video of your trip to Crete. I have always wanted to go to Greece, but perhaps summertime is not the best for me either.
Love your vlogs! I'm laughing every time you say "boat blanket" as I'm imagining Lars tucking the boat in for the night under a large, cozy blanket! (Ridiculous!)
I usually knit socks in the summer time..with the fan on and a glass of ice tea...I love the mermaid socks..I think I will get the pattern..what is the song you are playing ..I love it
Thank you for your beautiful video. That hotel looked so pretty. I'm with you. I was hoping to get a project bag as well from Three By The Sea. Maybe next time.
Thank you for sharing that lovely Greece footage. I felt like I was there, especially when you arrived at the hotel and drove up that hill toward the signature blue and white buildings. 😍 I am knitting a blanket using 4-weight yarn and it is getting so big and it is scorching hot here, but I really want to get it done. I know that sounds like madness, but I am in love with the project. I may buy some cotton yarn and follow your lead and knit some washcloths. 😉 Happy Birthday, Ella! 🎂❤ Two teenage girls AND one that is driving across borders? Wow! 😲
I always have small projects going in the summer, but I get a particular craving to knit a beaded lace shawl in the summer! 😅 I can't explain it, but there you go!
Thank you for sharing your trip, knitting and yarns. At the moment I'm knitting a pair of yoga socks for our local Red Cross Christmas bazaar. I wanted to make a few different things from what I made last year.
Tak for et hyggeligt afsnit 🧶 Jeg strikker på den 3. Cima tee, denne gang til mig selv. De første 2 var til min 18 årige niece ❤ og min ældste datter på 28. Begge er strikket i Drops Belle. Det er et skønt mønster ❤
Thanks for the beautiful 🎵 music, on summer I use to knit cotton or Bamboo fibers. Tank tops or tees
My first episode🤩 i love your podcast❤️🙏 all the Nice socks and colours. I knit small projects in the summer. Socks and dishclots. But i also have a riddari on my nedles, but it’s a longterm project😍 thanks for The inspiration💖
You make me want to run away to Greece right now.... in hot summers I love to knit light, airy shawls for early autumn or even chilly summer nights
Lovely to find my favourite LYS on your channel, I live a few km outside Chania and go here often. In summer I knit washcloths while on the beach as they inevitably get covered in sand and apart from this I tend to concentrate on lighter projects such as the two lacy scarves which are currently on my needles. The only projects I avoid are my blankets which will wait until it is a bit cooler (its still 35-38C here).
Wuhu, jeg fik set det hele 🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂 (af 4 gange 😮 - sommerferie med børn altså 😜🫣🤣) 😘
I just keep knitting and sewing and spinning in spite of the heat!😅
I don't really knit that much, but I love working on crochet socks at any time, though I'm often told I run on sun/heat energy, so it has to be really hot for me to be able to sit still, otherwise I'm moving around in the lovely warmth😅 I hope we get to see more of your cats😻
Thanks for sharing all the beautiful socks, your trip to Crete and all the pretty yarny goodies. I knit socks and light shawls in the summer time, sometimes I will do a baby knit to have on hand too. 😊
it seems like i crochet when it's hot much more than knit and when it's cooler then I pick up knitting projects again. .. but when it's nice and warm I love to sit outside and knit in my garden with my dog around which it will be the perfect temps again this whole week/weekend... scorching temps have left for now.
Hello from the Netherlands. I love seeing all your socks. When it's hot, I still knit but I knit indoors. Right now I'm knitting my first Ranunculus.
These colors from Greece are so inspiring , thank you for sharing . It is hot where I live, but I'm still knitting mostly socks that is not much fabric in your lap . This time a ' heel toe do si do' pattern from the crazy sock lady. When it is a bit cooler I have a cardigan on the go as well .
Hi from Ontario Canada! Beautiful knitting and beautiful music! First time seeing your video now you have a new subscriber!😊
Thank you Elise! I’m so happy you liked it🎵💖
Hello from Minnesota USA! Another enjoyable episode, I love all socks. I am working on socks and a hat. I also have a cotton towel going. Thank you for the peek at Greece!
Tak for i dag 🥰 Så fint digt 🌷 Stort tillykke til den heldige vinder 🍾 Skønne billeder fra din ferie - og fin garnbutik ikke mindst 😍 Lige nu strikker jeg på en Sammensat 24 i pima bomuld. Det går fint på varme dage ☺️
Tak for et dejligt afsnit ❤ Jeg strikker på en casia cropped cardigan 😊
Tak for hyggeligt strikkeselskab 🤩 Vi kører lidt rundt i Sverige - første stop lige syd for Stockholm og nu er vi i Göteborg. Jeg strikker på West knits SSAL2024, tee’n Sammensat24 og lidt babytøj. God sommer til dig 😊
When it is hot I knit on socks. I also have been working on sweaters, I just keep the majority of the sweater in my bag with the part I need sticking out. This way the fuzzy project is not on my lap. I enjoy your podcasts,thank you.
Hej Malene. Tak for din podcast. Jeg har hæklet små firkanter til mit tæppe i sommervarmen😅 😊
Hello from Swansea, Illinois.
Oh Malene...what treat to visit Crete as stowaway luggage.. especially via chilly Melbourne ( although the sun is glorious today👌).🙏What a beautiful poem that was written for all you entertaining KZreadrs.I could sing an aria in tribute .but I won't.Lucky you🤭Popping over to Germany for snacks made me smile.Can't do that down under😉.Go well, Lovely.👋🐨🌏❤️xx
I love buying yarn as a holiday souvenir too. (I bought some in Denmark last summer!) I do knit and crochet in the summer- thankfully, we have air conditioning! I'm working on a crocheted baby blanket for a friend, and I always have multiple sock wips on the go.
Thanks for sharing your knitting and holiday snaps! It looked like a wonderful time. I keep knitting socks in the heat and also smaller things like hats and baby clothes that I donate to my local hospital.
Thank you for your lovely podcast. I enjoy seeing your knitting, yarn finds, and listening to beautiful music.
I knit all the time. Air conditioning is a standard thing here (100 f or over is not unusual here) so inside with ac is the norm. Right now I am working on socks, and a couple of sweaters.
Hello. I usually knit socks when it’s hot. I am currently knitting a 4th of July pair (even though it’s way beyond the 4th 😊). Thank you.
Hello, I loved seeing your pictures from Greece. Thank you for sharing. In February I went to Jamaica. It was too hot to knit socks with wool yarn. So I knit gnomes out of acrylic yarn. The pattern is from Sarah Schira, Imagined Landscapes. I used her pattern for Noah. It is a simple to make gnome, perfect for sitting on the beach to knit. It was soooo hot and my hands were so sweaty that I am amazed the finish did not come off my metal DPNs. Here in the US we have had a string of days with higher than normal temperatures. I prefer to stay in the air conditioning, but my grandson’s baseball team was in tournament play. I had to go cheer on his team. I did take wool socks to knit, but had a small fan that sat on my chest and blew air into my face. It wasn’t a lot of help to be cool, but it was a little help. (His team won the championship.). I knit a gnome in the team colors and gave it to his mom. When the team lost the lead, the gnome was turned upside down in the cup holder of her chair. That turned things around and the team won. I have four pairs of socks that are on needles. Three of them I am working at the same time on separate needles. The other is a second sock. I finished the first earlier today and immediately cast on the second. I am also knitting a gnome a day. I want to have 120 gnomes by the end of November to give away to children at a Christmas party at church. I am halfway to my goal.
Enjoyed your podcast. I just found knitted dishcloths in fingering weight. Have been enjoying these a lot lately
I am knitting on a pair of 2 at a time Vanilla Socks during summer here in Northwest Queensland Australia I have knitted smaller cotton/linen projects (dishcloths, summer tops) thank you for keeping me company today while I had my morning coffee ☕️
I love the beautiful music. I’m crocheting a shrug and knitting a cap.
Hello! Lovely podcast, lovely music and lovely socks!!!! Thank you so much! I knit socks all the time and crochet/knit washcloths when it’s hot!🥵 enjoy the summer, lovely Greece trip! 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
Hi Malene, I'm so glad I found your podcast again! I recall watching at least one before but I forgot your channel name and couldn't find you again... but here we are! I absolutely love how your Christmas themed socks are going! Purple and green are my favorite colors. Right now I am working on a pair of DRK Everyday socks from Andrea Mowry in a pumpkin spice colorway! While you're thinking Christmas, I'm thinking Halloween! Usually in the summer I am indoors with air conditioning so I don't really change my knitting habits at all and will continue to knit sweaters and blankets, though if I am going outside to knit I always make sure to grab my sock knitting so I don't get overheated!
Crete looks lovely. We went to Minorca last year for the first time and can really recommend the island. When it is hot here in the UK, I still knit and crochet, but I prefer to use linen or cotton yarn. I’m currently doing one of my favourite patterns - The Playful Shawl - and making some Christmas gifts to give to my friends. Love your podcast - so calm and relaxing 😊
Hi from Norway! This summer I am knitting summer garments in the evenings (cotton/linen tops) and I have small projects to take with me in the daytime/heat, like hats/headbands for my kids (whatever they need for fall) and this summer I am doing something brand new(for me). I am knitting squares for «lappestafetten» It could ne dishcloths or wool squares for A blanket. Norwegian podcasters are designing a free pattern square every month this year. A lot of fun!
I enjoy knitting my socks in tandem. I have horrible second sock syndrome so I am always happy to finish knitting and have two completed socks. I use magic loop mostly but have tried 9inch circulars with dpns for the heel and heel turn.
Hyggelig afsnit og lækkert garn. Jeg strikker også om sommeren, strømper, toppe og babystrik, dog helst ikke mohair i solen🧶☀️😘
Loved your vacation video. I knit socks when it’s hot so I don’t have a lot of yarn on my lap.😀
Jeg strikker i uld året rundt men lige de sidste dage har jeg strikket i ren silke til mit barnebarn 😅
I still knit anything... Even when it's hot 😊. Have also been to Crete in July... Phew!! ❤❤
I have 5 sock WIPs right now, all in different parts of the sock. I also have a Tolsta Tank that is languishing due to all of the socks haha. I live in Florida so it's not only hot, but humid, to combat this I make a little ice water bath for my feet so I don't feel as hot while knitting. It works like a charm.
Socks! I always, always knit socks; warm, cold, anything in between is sock weather! But I'm thinking of casting on a blanket and a sweater this week while I'm in the house under the a/c! It's too hot in Texas for big projects to be on you outside. Thanks for the lovely podcast.
For obvious reasons I will not participate 🎉 BUT thanks for the opportunity to showcase 😊 ps the scent is tea 😂
Thank you so much❤️❤️❤️I figured out the tea thing after🙈I’ll correct myself next time of course😂😂😂
Ohh I'm a woman with so many WIPS I'm having a hard time deciding. So I do a little bit of everything so I crochet shawls, make arugami, knit socks and am working on a dress for myself too.
