Dear knitting friends (and any non-knitters who get a kick out of a knitty chat). It was an uphill battle (Sisyphus comes to mind) getting this video out due to various technical difficulties with my computer, so I'm more than relieved that things finally came together (even if it didn't happen on Sunday night as intended).
After a few, ahem, complaints about the background music, I decided to leave it out, even if I felt that it was relaxing and quiet. But we are all different, and the music will remain part of my other videos. I hope this makes, if not everybody, then most of you, happy.
I have tried to link to most patterns and yarns that I talk about in the video. If the links don't work, try copy-pasting them into your browser and see if that works.
Thank you for showing up and being a part of my (virtual) knitting community.

Thank you for putting out a beautiful, intelligent video. I’m very happy to have found you. At my age (62), I find myself unhappy with most knitting podcasts. Not that you’re old like me! You’re wise and calm and a very good knitter , in my opinion. I look forward to viewing your earlier videos. Please know you’re doing everything just right for you and for your subscribers.

@danishmusings Год назад

This comment - I can’t tell you the joy it brought me. Thank you 😘❤️ (and by the way: you’re not ‘old’ ☺️)

@twosmallbears2180 Год назад

Hello from New Zealand! So many of your comments resonate for me! Must importantly, about comparison. I always say "comparison is the thief of happiness". I remind myself of this every time I find myself comparing myself and feeling like I come up short. Thanks for another great podcast!

@danishmusings Год назад

Exactly, and thank you. It’s always so nice to find out there are people out there on our wavelength (on the other side of the Earth!) 💙💚

@LeonardTaylor-qw4kk Год назад

I have watched many knitting podcasts and never written a comment before. But I love your knitting, choice of colours and designs and the way you express yourself. Thank you for sharing yourself. I live in New Zealand where over the last few years lots of natural and political changes are happening that concern me so much. Your videos are calming and inspiring - thank you.

G’day from Sydney, Australia. This podcast went so quickly. They are not too long at all. I wish they were longer. I enjoy listening to ever thing you talk about. From your stories, your words of inspiration, your wisdom, your beautiful knits and photography. Your podcast is my favourite. I can’t wait for the next one. ❤

Was delighted to sit down with my knitting and have a new episode from you! You are really doing a wonderful job of giving us a close up of Danish yarns and designers. This really is a superior knitting channel over all IMHO. Have a great time in the Big Apple!

@mbanzdj Год назад

Another lovely podcast! I understand the sense of isolation and the vital importance of independent podcasters to people like me. Two generations ago almost all women were taught to knit. Three generations ago all women had to knit. Earlier generations were slaves to these crafts that are hobbies to us now. My generation was mostly aimed toward professional careers. Most certainly I was. I taught myself to knit as an adult, took a very long break from it, and took it up again with therapeutic aims after a paralyzing injury to one of my arms/hands. SO much has changed. I have no knitter friends and no LYS. Your podcasts help me and others create the community that has been lost to many of us and I can’t thank you enough for the inspiration I derive from them. Be well!

@danishmusings Год назад

That is a very good description of the historical development of this craft. You are so right. Thank you for being part of the community 🥰

Thank you for another lovely podcast. Your new sweater is beautiful. When I worked as a therapist we used to talk about how as humans we tend to “compare and despair”. I am so glad that you are getting more subscribers. As a long time knitter I also liked that you showed some knits from the past. I love how much more access we have now to yarns and patterns. Hope you have a fantastic trip to New York and have a big case to bring back lots of beautiful yarn.

Dear Helle, I have discovered your channel, and want to say how much I am enjoying your videos. I love how you chat and share with us about our shared love of knitting and yarn. I am about 8 years into knitting, and knit mostly socks and sweaters now. It is so enjoyable and I love to listen to knitting podcasts while I knit. I learn a lot, and also feel like I have a friend here knitting with me. I also spin my own yarns, and have discovered CONE yarns, which makes my frugal nature very happy. I reside in Colorado, USA. I pray for peace and calmness in our country and around the world.

@danishmusings Год назад

Lovely comment, I second your sentiments. All the best to you 🙏🏻💙🥰

@vindeljay Год назад

I'm so pleased to find a well spoken, well paced new knitter (new to me) to be inspired by and to just listen to. I live in Australia and have yarn supply issues as well. Most yarns I want are all overseas, the exchange rate and shipping makes most of it unattainable for me, so I problem solve with buying in Australia only. A lot of substituting going on, which has taught me a lot. I think it's interesting that we knitters who listen to others world wide will think something we did naturally is not an "acceptable" knit thing to do, eg weaving Stephen. When so many are so creative and have been doing this for so long, before the internet world. Love what you do. Now I'll go and watch your earlier videos.

@danishmusings Год назад

Thanks so much, that means a lot 🤍

@aprilg3193 Год назад

You can order yarn and ship it to your hotel, they will hold it for you as a courtesy :) I have actually done this before in NYC. You just need to call them and let them know!

catching up on some of your older videos and just wanted to say that you are in no way 'annoying'. you give us inspiration and a new way to look at things, and I thank you for that. I love the inspirational quotes and your thoughts about why you knit certain things. It has helped me a lot because it is very easy to get overwhelmed with all these wonderful knitting patterns and you have helped me to think more grounded; step back and put more meaning into a project. So thank you

@valeriehazel4858 Год назад

A quick note about comments and whether you need to reply to everything - for some of us, we comment on a video we like because we know it helps the YT algorithm and therefore lets other people know about your channel. You can’t be expected to answer everyone once the number of comments gets past a certain point, and many of us don’t need you to. We’d rather you were knitting more gorgeous garments.

Thank you for a knitting podcast that actually speaks to me, a (young) 61 year old woman. I am also a solitary knitter, curled up on my couch at home in Toronto, knitting madly and feeling my blood pressure drop. I was wanting to respond to all of your comments and queries and wish there was a simpler way to converse back and forth. How about a simple Cumulus sweater with that pretty gray-blue brushed alpaca? As far as Sonder Yarns go, the Sunday Morning DK and 4-ply yarn is wonderful! Unfortunately it is not sold in stores other than Espace Tricot who might be able to ship to you. It is worth pursuing as it is so nice to knit with. I had the pleasure of meeting the Sonder ladies last year in Montreal. There is also a great yarn store here in Toronto that sells most of the Danish yarns you mention called The Knitting Loft if anyone is looking to buy those brands. So much more to add but I’ll save it for next time. Looking forward to your next episode!

Not “annoying” at all. You are clearly a very intelligent and well-versed person, with varied experiences and takes on the world-regardless of self-stated searching for vocabulary here and there-I studied Spanish for many many years and am Nowhere as conversationally comfortable with the language as you clearly are with English. That aside-your take on knitting is lovely to watch, your home is inviting as a backdrop for the conversation, and who cares if we like the same colors-I cannot tell you how many times I come home with a barely different shade of a “Wow! Just right” color of lipstick or eye shadow….that I already have nearly 4 versions of at home 😂😂. We all do it-and if it gives You joy to make and wear it-I say So what-no one else is making it for you. And your versions of neons with neutrals will give you plenty to spice up your wardrobe besides. :) happy knitting, thanks for sharing😊

@mostlyknitting Год назад

Thank you so much for your enjoyable podcasts. I love your thoughts on comparison. There is an expression attributed to Theodore Roosevelt that "Comparison is the thief of joy." It is in our nature to compare, and yet it doesnt serve us. I started a RU-vid channel in the pandemic when the Local Yarn Store I taught classes at had to shut for a period of time. As a high school Math teacher, i had learned how to do videos for my students so i uploaded a few tutorials to my channel. I really didnt think much about it. I didnt pay much attention to who was watching and how many people were watching. Then in January this year I finally started doing some personal weekly videos of what i was knitting which is something i had wanted to do for over a decade. Very quickly I went from enjoying it to starting to compare myself to other channels - number of views, comments etc. And critiquing myself in a negative and non-helpful way. I realised that this was robbing me of the joy that I had in making it and connecting with others - no matter how many were watching. It is a good lesson in learning about myself and being grateful for what I have, not envious of what others have. This isnt something i normally feel or struggle with. It was an odd feeling for me. I guess we are all susceptible to these kinds of emotions, given certain circumstances. Anyway, i have thoroughly enjoyed your videos, partly for the knitting content, but mostly for your reflections. Thank you for taking the time to make them. I will be watching your other videos as well. I am sure i will find them interesting. :)

@danishmusings Год назад

You express some thoughts here that I’ve certainly encountered as well and I see them lurking in the shadows if I’m not careful. So who knows? But yes, absolutely, Roosevelt’s words are so true! Thanks for sharing 🥰❤️

I'm a born English speaker and I think your English is better than my own. 😂 That being said, my brain is better suited to numbers than language anyway. Thanks so much for deciding to share your knitting journey with us and I look forward to seeing many more shares! Best wished from the Midwestern region of the USA!

@cptmichele Год назад

Ok so I’ve doubted that I would ever knit, but you have inspired me in other ways so I thought let me watch and see. This video touches me so much because it reminds me of my precious grandmother who used to beg me often as a child to allow her to teach me how to knit and crochet. Her dream was for us to sit in tandem in stillness and enjoy knitting and being together. My response as the first born grandchild was NO Grandma I want to run and play and jump and climb trees with the boys…the tomboy who would rather ride her skateboard or cross bike instead of sitting and knitting (didn’t mean to rhyme there! Lol) though I loved my grandmother with my entire being.💜 She would be so surprised today to know that I just watched a 50 minute video on knitting. 😛 I’m not quite ready to jump right in and get started, but I’m certainly not ruling it out. I LOVE the colors you’ve chosen. This video makes me want to buy pretty yarn even if I never knit with it. 😂 So thanks for at least that much inspiration. 🥰 Seriously though, I do think the day will come that I knit at least one sweater just to make her proud and happy as she watches over me from afar. The sweaters are all great! I would purchase and wear any of them. Lovely! Well done dear Helle! Continue to enjoy yourself! 💜🇺🇸🇩🇰

Wonderful sweater you made, this pink suits you so well. For past year i try to make my wardrobe more neutral, but seeing this pink on you, I started to think maybe I too can make neutral sweater with bright accent. 🌞 also, I am 43, i knit for more then 30 years, and back when I was teenager we didn't have many good knitting patterns and lessons, so we had to invent our own tricks to make knitting easier, and now looking at young knitting designers and tips they teach us, it is funny to realise this is all we did back than and didn't even thought about that 😄 Love your knitting videos, they bring peace and comfort and a lot of hygge to my knitting life. As I don't have any real-life knitter around me, it is very important to be able to fill this void. Thank you so very very much 🤍

I also discovered your previous videos, and thank you for taking me on a tour to the Alps, to Paris and in your house. After the last one I was doing some declutttering in my own house and filled six bags and brought them to Fretex (reuse). By the way the Norwegian sweater is called «Setesdalskofte», I think. The pink sweater with cables is really beautiful. Thank you so much for spending time making those videos and for bringing so much joy and beauty and tranquility. ❤️😘

@WrebDesign Год назад

I am knitting Turtle Dove II by Espace Tricot - which was written for Drops Air. It’s a perfect knit to choose when you have just finished a challenging pattern and need a break. The first time I knit this pattern, I used CaMaRose Snefnug in grey. Because I wear it so much (it’s so light, yet warm) I decided to knit it again using the Drops Air. The yarns that are blown, like these two, do pill badly. However, my experience is that after you have washed them a couple of times, they stop pilling. Hope this helps! I’m so happy to have found your video. I’m really enjoying getting to know you. It sounds like our Canadian winters (I live near Algonquin Park in Ontario) are as long and cold as Danish ones!

I’m so glad you’re better now, and that our comments cheered you while you were sick. Your videos are a delight. Yes, a place to connect and inspire and see what someone on the other side of the world is doing with her craft. It is a delight to see what you’ve finished and what you’re working on, and what will be coming next. Your sweater choices are wonderful. Very similar to sweaters I like, as well. Your Pink Velvet will be wonderful for spring. The soft pink Sarang is drop dead gorgeous! What an interesting construction to that sweater! The lavender and green knit up magically into a wonderfully soft color! I can’t wait to see your Seon Kimono. I love the soft colors you have chosen. If you choose the soft rose, just rejoice in another beautiful sweater in a color you love! I also dislike discouraging comments on my color choices. But I also try not to be swayed by other’s opinions. When your partner says, “Another gray sweater?”, just reply, “Yes! I’m so excited to have another in a color I love!” No guilt. We shouldn’t necessarily feel we need others to understand our choices. And as I mentioned in another comment on your previous video, we often gravitate to different colors at different times of life. You clearly have, and I have, too. I’m really loving neutrals these days. I say rejoice in your choices of color and feel no need to explain them to anyone! Because you are able to knit so many sweaters so quickly, it makes your videos really fun to see how much progress you’ve made and what your FOs look like and what will be coming to your needles next. Thank you for a little glimpse into Denmark and someone who enjoys knitting as much as I do!

So happy to see you again!! I have gone back and binged your podcasts-just love your calming voice and beautiful subject matter!! I am a retired English teacher and now I just knit and knit and have recently fallen down the spinning rabbit hole. Keep up these wonderful podcasts! You are loved and very appreciated!! Hugs from Virginia! ❤

Wow, your new knits are absolutely stunning. You do not babble in the slightest. You are very thoughtful and a pleasure to listen to. I comment on knitting videos because I want to thank the people who make them for their time and effort, their bravery, and for sharing their craft with others. So thank you!

Hi from Nova Scotia, Canada! 🇨🇦 so glad I stumbled onto your podcast. I really enjoy watching it. I love all your knit sweaters, many are on my list.

I was so excited to see a new episode pop up as I love your knitting videos! They are so relaxing and inspiring. I cannot wait to knit up the sarang sweater after seeing it on your channel!

That sounds lovely. And thank you 💞

@tillywoo1 Год назад

Once again thank you for a fabulous insight into your beautiful knitting & forthcoming knits 😅 Thank you for sharing your ideas with us all. You certainly choose some beautiful yarns! You keep me company while I knit & it helps me to plan my next project regarding trying out new methods & yarns etc 💖

@jeangasaway9425 Год назад

Thank you for sharing your knitting wisdom!! I totally agree about feeling connected to other knitters, I learn so much with every episode and and feel a sense of kinship. Enjoy your Easter trip!

You knit beautiful sweaters…I am yet to get brave enough to start my first…but even if I find a pattern I like, I talk myself out of it,because I am unsure about the yarn😂your yarn choices are soooo nice❤️

@Renata_M Год назад

Lovely makes! I admire your yarn as well as colour choices (and relate to a great extent😊). Choosing them and playing with different combinations is a big part of the overall engagement in this hoby, isn't it. Have a nice holiday and safe travellings! Oh and hi to the Cat! 🐈

@barbarawatson1667 Год назад

You are a natural in front of the camera and I so enjoy your vlogs. I love everything you knit! I was knitting on my half and half triangle wrap while you chatted. ( I was VERY late to come on board with this wrap by Purl Soho and OMG I just love it. It’s just what I need right now, a mindless but soothing project.) I look forward to your next vlog. 🇨🇦

@julie3935 Год назад

I love that pop of pink on you, such a cheerful sweater. I'm down in Australia and we are in autumn here so it's excellent knitting weather. I have far too many WIPs and am trying to finish things off at the moment as I'm finding it's becoming quite stressful with so many things on the needles. Unfortunately I'm a process knitter so am always tempted by new techniques and challenges! Lovely podcast again, thank you.

@amandaheron7158 Год назад

Love your videos. I like the way you choose your patterns and yarn and analyse the reasons for picking them in such an informative way. I used to be in the knitting industry with Annabel Fox and had a 32 year break until I got back into it with the birth of my grandson. I have asked her if the pattern you can’t identify is one of hers. Ravelry, RU-vid and internet buying has revolutionised the way we can see what’s out there, as well as knitting top down, Magic Loop, circular knitting, etc! I have been doing some Stephen West and Natasja Hornsby designs and discovered sock knitting so definitely got my knitting mojo back.

@danishmusings Год назад

Sounds lovely, and yes, so many things have changed 🥰🥰

@DearDearFashion Год назад

Hi there❤ I need to say that-from my fashion studio, me Georgetta Dear when I take a break of coffee 45%of time watching your videos and the way how you share your story is very comfortable its give the sensation that you have a good friend front your face .I watched all the videos, ☕☕ Best regards!

@susanbackhouse3323 Год назад

Love your podcasts, you have a very calming voice, just lovely and relaxing. I have returned to knitting, like you, and amazed at the changes there have been in the past 20 years or so, really annoyed it’s taken me so long to return! You knit some beautiful garments, I’m totally inspired. Looking forward to your next podcast xx

@jinnywessel7442 Год назад

Another great video. I love your style and colour choices. Your comments about feeling guilty gravitating towards the same colour choices and not wanting to be reminded of it amused me, I can really identify with that! Just wish I had your level of knitting skill!

@vadec5909 10 месяцев назад

Your video was lovely. Your sweaters are lovely. I really like the pink color work! It doesnt seem like you are rambling. Your words and thoughts are so inspiring. Your right we shouldnt compare ourselves to others. Thats really hard not to do in a yoga class! I switched to spin classes, easily to do! Lol I am watching this months later to and now fall is almost here. The days are shorter. Thank you

@nit2ply96 Год назад

Lovely episode! I enjoy listening to you and thank you for the inspiration

@Bucknills Год назад

I've just come across your videos and loving them. I don't knit sweaters, I mostly crochet accessories for my business but love to see and hear about your beautiful work and connect.

@dianadarby9108 Год назад

I enjoy you thoughtful but peaceful podcasts and the inspiration of the knitting is excellent. I hope you have a wonderful time in NYC and can visit some yarn shops.

@joannekellam191 Год назад

I totally fell in love with the Obba sweater from a post that I saw on Facebook, and then by some stroke of luck, RU-vid suggested your knitting podcast to me. Imagine my delight to find out that you were a tester and the translator for that pattern! Now I am thoroughly enjoying all of your lovely podcasts, whether they are about knitting or not!

@danishmusings Год назад

Aw thanks so much ❤️ Hope you’ll enjoy Obba if you decide to knit it.

@nena6332 Год назад

Drops yarns from Norway are very nice and very good value. For travel I sometimes take cotton or cotton blend as it doesn't shed. Good for when summer finally comes .

That’s so lovely to know 😍❤️

@messokarenk Год назад

Thank you so much for your lovely podcast. I’m not up to your level of knitting knowledge but that okay with me. You are an inspiration to me as to what can be achieved, one sweater at a time. I’ve been mainly a sock knitter so it’s time for me to up my game. Working on a sweater now for the first time in many years. So satisfying and challenging at the same time. Thank you.

Great - good luck 🥰❤️

A great conversation via internet about knotting & life. You are a beautiful knitter & I love seeing your sweaters. I am 81 & a knitter, quilter and live in the San Francisco Bay Area CA USA. Recently moved here to be closer to family. Thank you for your show, time & beautiful sweaters.

You are certainly not bubbling … it’s so nice to have you online.. like a friend you can listen to when you are knitting… I was finishing the slanting slipover in malabrigo… apple green an gray listening to you… your voice is very nice… calming somehow. So you are may be in new york now for easter and I wish you a very nice tiome there…

@lindas5964 Год назад

You have quite a talent for picking colors that really bring out the beautiful you. I envy the soft grays, pinks and “neutrals” you use as here where I live everything is a riot of color and colorways in neon and brights of every combination imaginable. Every knitted item is a party.

@claudiahuffmaster8249 Год назад

Just watched your video your sweater that you are wearing is beautiful. I have to tell you it bring a sense of peace to watch you while I knit after a stressful day of work! Thank you!
