Thank you for joining me. I'm delighted to share some of my knitting with you, but my choice of venue came with a (small) price today. First the birds, then the occasional gust of wind (the windshield on my microphone was a little askew apparently), and then, well, you'll see for yourself. I hope you''ll shrug at the outdoor keeping-it-real ambience (and that you can hear me!)

Please continue with everything you do, knitting, travel and anything else you choose to talk about and film. I will be watching as I'm sure will thousands of others. I appreciate every podcast that you make and I can see how much time and work there is on your part. Thank you.

@danishmusings 4 месяца назад

Oh, wow, thank you so much for your sweet comment. I appreciate it 💕

@jodydcrawford5470 11 месяцев назад

I love how gracefully you have let it be known that you don’t need to take on board other peoples opinions on what colours or styles you should be wearing. We all wear what makes us feel good. Keep doing that.

@shannonelymccain2975 11 месяцев назад

I love the calm, positive and thoughtful tone of your channel. You are lovely and so is your knitting.

@danishmusings 11 месяцев назад

That is entirely lovely of you to say and much appreciated 🙏🏻🥰❤️

@misscharlotte160 11 месяцев назад

I love how deftly and politely you addressed the question of unsolicited opinions, Helle. You should’ve been a diplomat! 👌🏼

@annjavoroski2344 11 месяцев назад

What a nice visit this morning. We also have had several days of “Danish summer” with intermittent rain. I thank you so much for the variety of patterns and test knits you share with us. I am venturing into new techniques, thanks to your reassuring words. I always enjoy your visits.

@somalynhuong4780 11 месяцев назад

I totally agree with you, Helle should have been a DIPLOMAT!

@knitting_seahorse Год назад

I like both the travel and knitting content of your channel and also the musings of course! Thank you for all that, Helle 🙏🏻 Finnish Knit Designer: Kutovakika ❤

@Azure565 11 месяцев назад

@patriciacrellin1744 Год назад

I like this quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds..." I find the more I knit/crochet, the wider the range of colours and styles I like. CHANGE=> GROWTH=> ENJOYMENT=> ACCEPTANCE. I say make what you want and wear what you make. Furthermore, you always look very stylish and elegant! Tricia

@danishmusings 11 месяцев назад

Tricia - I love this 😍❤️ Thanks for sharing that, and good on you for renewing yourself that way 💪

@janellehodgson9204 11 месяцев назад

I absolutely love all the content you put up the travelogue, knitting, and philosophical ones. Please continue to do what you are doing because everything you put up is interesting and thought provoking. We are all multifaceted human beings and I like seeing a podcast that shows who they are and what they enjoy. The different combinations of interests and thoughts each of us have make us interesting. Love all the videos!

@danishmusings 11 месяцев назад

I so agree with you. Thank you ❤️

@knitterbug2021 11 месяцев назад

Thank you for keeping me company while I knit :) "No one should wear the weight of other peoples opinions" is a wonderful sentiment. I'm excited to knit my first Sari Norland pattern - the Kuutar top. Yours is perfection.

@estiemunro 11 месяцев назад

A Nordic designer that got me into this online community and who should be on the list is Veronika Lindberg (kutovakika) Her designs make knitting very appealing to a young generation. Go watch her knit her own wedding dress! Amazing!

@danishmusings 11 месяцев назад

I watched it long ago and have also added her to the list - I just didn’t mention them all in the podcast 😊🥰

@PamKnitsToo 11 месяцев назад

I’m so sorry that anyone would take give their unsolicited opinion on your knitting or what you choose to wear. I appreciate everything you share and I’m amazed at your knitting talent. Thank you for all the time and energy you put into your podcasts ❤

@vont8332 11 месяцев назад

As a European expat living in Australia, I wanted to say how lovely it is to hear the familiar sounds from your beautiful garden. "Lost Connections" is something I was discussing this morning and hearing your blackbird, seeing your garden whilst sharing your love for knitting is a great help to me and, I'm sure, many others. Thank you so much x Von

@ceb2737 11 месяцев назад

Thank you for another great episode. Especially the enlightenment of we all have our own views and ways. We can be different yet still get along (at least that’s how I would like to see the world) ❤🇺🇸

@danishmusings 11 месяцев назад

I couldn’t agree more. Hugs ❤️

@doritbrockmeier802 11 месяцев назад

Dear Helle, your podcast is simply wonderful! Don’t question the people who leave after a specific content, there will always be those who express their dislike with some things, without real reason. You are doing a great job both with knitting and podcasting and I will be glad to take part in your knitalong. I’m just deciding on the pattern. Oh, by the way, I’m writing from Germany and I’m happy to see your content from an european view

@user-qp8cu6sh5h 11 месяцев назад

Always love your podcasts. You are so inspiring. Thank you for your wisdom and insight.

@cathiapizetta4957 11 месяцев назад

Oh! You have such a good taste! I think you make a piece always nicer than the original ones in the pattern. It makes me appreciate more a pattern after I see what you’ve made of it. ❤️

@andreaf7886 11 месяцев назад

I like your friend's suggestion about feedback: "Try it on like a hat. See if it fits. If not, you can discard it." I couldn't agree more. Thank you for giving us a glimpse of your world. Whether you are traveling, knitting, or simply "musing", I appreciate being "invited in." Wouldn't the world be boring if we all dressed alike, had the same thoughts, lived in the same type of house, and traveled nowhere? I started watching your videos because of knitting and I've watched your videos that have nothing to do with knitting. Enjoy your life and thank you again for being kind and genuine. P.S. Bainbridge Island is lovely. I live a ferry crossing away!

@denisevettraino7916 11 месяцев назад

Helle, you are so gracious to the naysayers, whom I'm hoping were shut down by the obvious solution to their unnecessary criticism...knitting is not a competition but a means of self-expression and creativity....I am fairly certain that most who watch love your content for one reason or another! I personally LOVE your esthetics and am thrilled when you and your family take us along on a fabulous trip or just around town on your bike; I'm a sucker for a travel-log and a bit of philosophy! Your channel adds value and gentility to my life in this crazy world...Thank You !

@patriciacrellin1744 11 месяцев назад

I agree totally! Helle's podcasts are like a little oasis of knitting mindfulness! She is so calm and creative.

@danishmusings 11 месяцев назад

Thank you so much. I appreciate it a lot, especially as I just had another commenter here who admonished me about saying ‘gods’, quoting the Bible etc. Sheesh, it is uphill sometimes…❤️

@julylo755 11 месяцев назад

Thank you for being you. Thoughtful, philosophical, meditative. Following your own voice and vision is true freedom. We all need to shut out the cacophony online.

@virginiaanderson8875 11 месяцев назад

I always enjoy you and the time you take talking about the different things you are knitting, and explaining the yarns, I am a beginner, and get so encouraged by you.

@jamiethrogmorton2540 11 месяцев назад

I did forget the Crocus…only until you showed the lavender and ice green! It’s startling and amazing how they blend into that soft delicate fabric. Thanks for showing us.

@notaclue822 11 месяцев назад

A very enjoyable podcast. Thanks for listing all those links to Nordic designers. There are so many gorgeous designs to choose from.

@yarnmotivated-joyceswensso9744 11 месяцев назад

So much inspiration and knitting queue growth! I love the idea of the sticky notes as a way to change priorities as often as my heart does. I'll be implementing that tip. Please consider adding the Finish knit designer Anna Johanna. Thank you for sharing.

@rachelsutton1387 11 месяцев назад

Love the background noise of the birds sounds very calming just like your channel ❤

@Anji2866 11 месяцев назад

Hi from India. It was fun to hear the chirping of the birds in the background. I think your knits and colours that you pick have an air of elegance. In fact you are elegant. It’s very enjoyable to watch your podcast. Have a great day.

@jmm4151 Год назад

Thank you for keeping me company for my Sunday morning knitting. I always look forward to your videos 😊

@christinaheesakacowden-wut3809 11 месяцев назад

I love that baby blue summer top a lot. I also love the shirt and skirt with the white and blue stripes. 🙂 Very fresh and summery. Lucky you are back home from Greece now, because they are having a horrendous heat wave in Greece now, with fires. My sister lives in Greece, near the bulgarien border. She has a sheep farm there. She tells me it is so hot, that they still have 28°Celsius at night and over 40 during the day. I love those prescious stone stitchmarkers a lot. When I have special stitch markers, I sometimes wear them as a necklace, just threading through a nice chain. 🙂 That pink embroidered bag is just devine! I love it. I do quiet some embroidery myself and I sew handbags as well, amongst many other things, lol. Can`t wait to see that fluffy dress in all those "crazy" colours. Actually I think they will look so stunning together. Huggs from Fairy Tale Cottage, Schurwald Forest, Germany. 🥰

@erinbritain 11 месяцев назад

Veronika Lindberg is a Finnish designer who has the loveliest patterns. Randi Hjelm from the Faroe Islands, also known as the Faroeknitter, has beautiful patterns too. I’ve knit her Nordic Viking headband several times. Thank you for hosting this knit along! I have way too many projects on my needles At the moment and now I have a good excuse to start another new one 😊

@rachelmitchell2144 11 месяцев назад

Ahhh. What I lovely time, knitting and chatting! Your pods are peaceful, inspiring, and intellectual. Thank you for taking the time, Helle. I enjoy your knitting and lifestyle/travel content. It’s all good. 🤓

@barbarasteffee5666 11 месяцев назад

Thank you for all the woolly content as well as such wise purls (pearls) of wisdom. Be safe in your travels - maybe there won't be yarn shops when you are visiting but maybe there are knitters who would like to show you what they are knitting and would consent to you photographing their creations. I knit to your travel episodes and LOVE that you share them. Many of the podcasts I watch feature surroundings. I especially love Fiber Trek in case you are not familiar, Sarah lives in Maine (USA) and knits, spins, weaves, sews, (quilts), makes journals, prints, etc, etc....and I live in Michigan. She is calm and nature oriented....visits farms from time to time and fiber events. There is such a broad spectrum of podcasting out there. I am glad to have found so many after I retired and not before. 🧶

@catherineedwards2546 Год назад

Helle you are a breath of fresh air, I love all your videos especially the travel videos even though I am a knitter. Your knitting inspires me and I love the daft colours you choose. I must say I cannot believe some one gave you the thumbs down after all the hard work you do to make a video. I have told my friends about you so hopefully your show will grow

@danishmusings 11 месяцев назад

@messokarenk 11 месяцев назад

Thank you for your wise comments about “trying on a hat and if it doesn’t fit . . . .”. Life is too short to judge others. I really enjoy your thoughtful and encouraging words. Your podcast is so restful, peaceful, and inspirational. Thank you for sharing your time and talent with us. BTW, love your travel adventures as well!

@heidim.5545 11 месяцев назад

Hi, I am from Australia and new to knitting, a very late starter 🙂thank you so much for your enjoyed, easy to listen and inspiring podcast.

@jutta4286 11 месяцев назад

Dear Helle, I love your podcast episodes!!!! Please don't let people influence you with thoughtless statements. I know that this is indeed not always easy and it sometimes leaves one speechless at the, I would like to say, impudence with which others are under the mistaken impression that they have to lecture someone.

@cuddlingcuddles 11 месяцев назад

I enjoy your channel because it has this combo of knitting and non-knitting related content. Seeing what other people visit, how they view the world, how they live is inspiring as it opens the mind to change, otherwise the world would be a pretty boring place if all of us are the same. Looking forward to your next post!

@danishmusings 11 месяцев назад

Thanks so much for your lovely comment 🥰❤️

@gisellejoseph2936 11 месяцев назад

People has lots of dimensions to them, characters, personalities, etc. I love how different we are and the same, too. Keep up the great videos. Knitting or not. Love from Vegas!

@annaneel889 11 месяцев назад

You are the sweetest lady and I love your podcast. I agree with the previous comments that you explain your projects very well. You are humble and calm and I love your garden. Don't pay attention to the negative comments. Some people don't realize how harsh they sound. I love your boxie sweaters and everything you knit. You inspire me to be a better knitter. Take good care.

@fishcove5 11 месяцев назад

I love both the knitting and travel podcasts. I enjoy your podcasts very much. Keep making your own colour choices. We are all entitled to look how we want.

@Mindfulnessification 11 месяцев назад

Thank you for talking about people commenting on your choices in anything! To each her own and celebrate the fact that you can choose to wear or make whatever calls to you! I am with you! I never down arrow anyone’s video. It just doesn’t make sense. Spread the love! 🐑♥️🐑♥️🐑

@jenniferbarrett3272 11 месяцев назад

I do not understand why some folks need to make negative comments- they can scroll on by. As my my mum would say, if you can’t find something kind to say, say nothing. So many lovely projects and yarns again today. I love how blending several yarns can so change the colour and texture- fascinating and fun. That dark blue colour and test knit pattern looks intriguing. Like you, I need very soft yarn on my neck. I knit the Elton, by Joji Locatelli, in black- it’s similar to the other test knit you are doing in that it stripes fingering and mohair. It took me many months to do. I set the project bag by my chair and it became my half hour if knitting in good light each morning- eventually it was done and I so love it.I always have several projects on the go to suit my mood, surroundings, mind space and hand pain. The Lamb and Kid yarn looks so amazing. I hope to go to Seattle someday and head to Bainbridge Island. I live in the interior of BC Canada and it is about a 6 hour drive to Seattle where I several cousins and a nephew live. One cousin is also a knitter, so maybe we could make a fun day of going yarn shopping. Our Canadian dollar and mailing costs really discourage purchasing many lovely yarns. I have started the Lotus Lake socks by Anniina Juuti, a Finnish designer and a you tube blogger. I am loving it- most complicated sock pattern I have ever made. The yarn shop you videoed is so beautiful- I would be like a kid in a candy store. We lost our last yarn shop in my city during COVID. 😕 Thanks for another lovely episode. The birds and the changing weather were a delight.

@jamiethrogmorton2540 11 месяцев назад

As to the color/compliments/critique comments…personally I knit a lot of variety of shawls etc with many colors, kind of spontaneously, and often I don’t love what I knit. 🥺. I admire you for the clear sense of your style and how you achieve that so beautifully in your knitting wardrobe. I would LOVE to have input from someone who could help me focus better. At 62 I want to knit more garments I will love and wear, and you make it look so easy! I’m an excellent knitter but I’m perplexed how my style doesn’t usually dictate what I knit. Something to contemplate especially as I destash to relocate my stash from a studio to my home. I’m creating a shelf for projects in the queue, so maybe that’s the first step toward more practical garment knitting in my favorite style. Love your videos, thanks for the time you give us. ❤

@danishmusings 11 месяцев назад

OK, maybe I should address that - good idea actually. And thanks so much 💕😚

@elbrooks 11 месяцев назад

One of my favorite Nordic designers is Arne & Carlos. They actually inspired me to relearn crochet AND I learned to knit from them this year. Also, I’m excited to see what you make with that Lamb & Kid yarn! So pretty. I LOVE your aesthetic.

@suemccord9723 11 месяцев назад

Helle the top you are wearing is gorgeous, and love the color on you. The quote from the person who said something like this: "At any age you should never wear someone else's opinion" was so brilliant, and thank you for sharing it. Always love spending time with you on your podcast, now I'm off to watch part 1 & 2 of your trip to Santorini. Happy knitting! 🤗

@Whistlewalk 11 месяцев назад

@scoonan50 11 месяцев назад

Good evening Helle! I am so happy you are here and I enjoy your podcast very much! I work at The Lamb and Kid and enjoyed meeting and helping Sherri out when putting together the yarn for a project you had in mind. It did not occur to me that she was sending you the yarn because the colors were so different than anything I have seen you knit! However, I was thrilled to know that you love the yarn and will create a luxurious garment! I have several sweaters knitted in Big Birdie and cannot get enough! Two more of Sarah's bases I think you would enjoy is Elmer Fingering held with Birdie= pure luxe! I hope you enjoy your knitting with Big Birdie and explore more options! BTW, Sherri is a treasure! ❤

@danishmusings 11 месяцев назад

How delightful to read your comment and to know you had a hand in finding the yarn 😍 Thank you! Yes, I guess it’s kind of a departure for me, although not entirely. And I do find it exciting to explore new territory from time to time 🥰 I hope I will be able to do the luscious yarn and colors justice 🤞🏻The combination you mention is one I would also love to try at some point (if only you weren’t so far away 😽). And yes, Sherie is amazing! All the best, Helle🩷

@leaherickson6070 11 месяцев назад

I really love your quotes from authors and Aristotle. I think your knitting is beautiful. Thank you for sharing, I like the idea of putting sticky notes on the line of projects, and how you can change the order and not have to think about what is up next. The tour of your summer holiday on Santorini was wonderful. It was so inspiring. I have only read about the Greek islands from books and to see the cities, the whiteness of everything, the hot pink bougavilla was amazing draping all over the walls. It is fun getting to know the diverse life you live and enjoy. I hope you put aside the hats that don't fit and keep being yourself.

Helle, I’m thankful for your videos. I love your work and you have GREAT taste! I’m sorry that you’re feeling a little crushed by the public. I agree with everything that you’re saying. Try and delete the negative posts as soon as your eye catches them. They’re inappropriate ways that sad people behind a computer share their own pain. Keep up the beautiful journal of your life and work. 🙏💕🇺🇸

@minipoppinz8991 11 месяцев назад

Yay! You wear you! I love that latter quote from Aristotle, and also the comment advising ‘not to wear other peoples opinions’. 🙌🏻 Another great episode Helle, I could make so many more positive comments but by the end of the episode I have forgotten most of them - a great reason to watch again. Thanks so much for taking the time to share your thoughts and knits with us all 😊

Thank you Helle for such a lovely visit with you about your knitting!! I love to sit and knit as you share all your projects and yarns!! My kitties were all gathered around watching too, because of the singing birds all around you. They kept looking trying to see the birds!! Your podcast is so inspiring and you have such a beautiful soft voice. I live in the USA and shared your podcasts with my knitting friends ( who now watch too). You are much appreciated❤

Re: unwanted or unhelpful feedback - whenever I attend a baby shower and am asked to contribute helpful advice for the parents-to-be, I always write Practice saying 'sorry, I don't speak English' in another language, then when a stranger comments on something your baby/child/you are doing, you can reply with a version of 'No speakee zee English' and turn away, no reply needed 😂. I enjoy every video you make and am inspired by all your knitting - winter and summer knits, love it all. Hello from 🇨🇦

Love all that you post. You’ve taken us along on your journey that many will never get to see. I was binge watching Knit together with Kim & Jonna, and Jonna talked about you and the beautiful Spot sweater you knit. I went back and rewatched that episode just to see it again! Thank you❤

I enjoy your podcast very much! I’m from Mississippi, Southern USA. My husband’s great grandfather was Lars Jensen from Norway who married Kari Kjos from Denmark. They came to North Dakota, where my father-in-law was born. I like that connection, but your podcast is interesting and I love your knitting projects.

I enjoy several of my favorite things while visiting your channel. Knitting, travel and beautiful gardens! Getting to see how people in other countries (I’m in the US, California) live, is so much fun! I love seeing the shops, the streets, the homes, the gardens, the food…..anything you are willing to share!! Your knits are beautiful! Thank you for sharing some of your difficulties in your knitting, it’s not just me!

The Snow Crocus is so beautiful with the yarns you chose. I love how those two vibrant yarns have created a smokey, lovely color. Good luck, you'll progress when you are ready. I personally can't wait to see it.

@hildaandrews8150 11 месяцев назад

I love your comment about other people’s opinion. If only we could all be kind and nonjudgmental. I found you because of your first knitting podcast but I thoroughly enjoy all your content. Thanks for the details about the Kuutar. I’m knitting it as I watch you wearing yours and am glad to hear you say not increasing the body is still big enough. I’m also using Knitting for Olive. I love your colour also.

I appreciate all of your videos. Each genre is refreshing and enjoyable whether the focus is knitting , travel or your general pondering. I’m happy to be a subscriber as long as you’re here in YT-land. Thank you, Helle!

Absolutely love all your podcasts…knitting and travel. We (yes, my husband watched too!) enjoyed your trip to Santorini, as we will be there next May! Now he can put your face in his mind when I tell him about your knits! Thank you for being you. Your quotes are so inspirational. ❤

@heidikuijer3612 11 месяцев назад

I love both of your video styles. Being able to see your home, garden, country as well as your knitting is wonderful. Thank you for sharing with all of us! I am in admiration of your knitting too. I cannot knit but adapt this style now into crocheted garments. By using quality yarns with and adapting patterns, I am able to get a little of the knit look I so love. You inspire me! 🧶

@bethgraves1194 11 месяцев назад

I so enjoy your podcast. The varied content is very interesting. I was drawn to your Chanel because you are from Denmark. My maternal grandparents immigrated from Denmark to Minnesota USA with their two oldest children. I enjoy hearing about your country. Thank you.

@edytheneumann4656 11 месяцев назад

Add my hallelujah to that quote! We really can be this AND that. I've also fallen hard for some of the yummy goodness at Lamb and Kid and hope to visit their shop soon as I live just north of Bainbridge Island but in Canada - one of my 2023 summer destination plans. Thank you Helle - so enjoyed sitting down with my knitting and you today!

Lovely to see you again OH! I think that Pop Rock will look Gorgeous on You with your half colour, actually all the Birdie yarn will look Lovely Especially the Mint. At Our Age we can wear what we Like, if a colour makes you feel Good! Go for it! Happy Knitting from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤

@jenniferingram8455 11 месяцев назад

For some reason, some folk just have to be negative. I love your vlog, and all of your knits. Keep it up! I get so excited seeing what patterns you are knitting and what yarns you are using. It opens up new worlds to me

@barbarah5756 11 месяцев назад

Helle, Can't resist letting you again know how very much I love your channel, both your knitting and your travel podcasts. It's wonderful spending time with you and very inspiring. Your Kuutar went straight to the top of my wish list, as well as your snood. It was especially pleasant joining you during your lovely summer day there. Thanks for showing what yarns you choose and why. I just used my first Lamb and Kid Alpaca Silk yarn and it is amazing to work with. Thank you for sharing your gorgeous projects.🥰😘

@danishmusings 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for your lovely comment. I so appreciate it 😘❤️🤍

@somalynhuong4780 11 месяцев назад

Hi Helle, I love how you handle those people who would judge others with negative comments. We are supposed to lift each other up, motivate, and inspire each other. I would like to say to them, "If you don't have anything NICE to say - DO NOT say anything. BE KIND and CONSIDERATE!" I also love your knitting and the calm tone you produced. Your knitting has inspired me so much that I just want to make everything you made or making LOL. I did just finish the JONI tee because of you 😛. In U S, I could find the yarn the pattern called for, so I substituted with cotton and alpaca. The finish product came out just as beautiful and comfortable, I think LOL.😛

@annies2416 11 месяцев назад

You have so many beautiful knits! I love seeing what you are making. I also loved your comments on negativity. You responded beautifully. Keep knitting, keep traveling and we’ll keep watching.✈🧶💕 For Norwegian designers, I love Eli aka Skeindeer Knits. She has so many cute designs.

@danishmusings 11 месяцев назад

Thanks so much 💙 I agree re Skeindeer; simply forgot her 😌

@user-rm6kj6eq3x 11 месяцев назад

Wonderfully uplifting podcast once again. A lovely inspiration. It is great to be able to knit while you share with me your beautiful knits. I have just started my first little bit of colourwork knit in maybe 30 years. Very different on the round. Have been loving trying new things and finding such joy in this process. Thank you for your thoughtfulness and calm centering focus. By the way I love all pinks from the palest ballet tights shade to the hot pink punk of the 80's. Enjoy the joy they bring to you !

@patricialoux5193 Год назад

This was a lovely podcast! Your Sari Nordlund top is exquisite as are your other knits. I am always amazed when people online feel compelled to make critical remarks about a podcaster's choices, as if their opinion should matter for anyone other than themselves. Knit and wear what makes you happy and comfortable! As you say, live and let live. Enjoy the rest of the summer and I look forward to your next video!

@danishmusings 11 месяцев назад

Thank you; we’re on the same page 🥰 Enjoy your summer❣️

@TanisMakesStuff 11 месяцев назад

The snood/cowl thing is actually the other way around. A cowl is something that has much more drape and is really a piece worn with more volume and would have luxurious folds when worn. A snood always encloses something, so would be close-fitting for example the beard/moustache snoods that are worn by people who work in food production. This is why you can buy a dress with a very open draped cowl back but you would never see that described as a snood back. I love the travel content, I came to you via knitting but the first video I saw was a travel one and I readily enjoyed it. The Santorini one was lovely, very calming 😊

@danishmusings 11 месяцев назад

Thank you for the explanation; interestingly, the patterns themselves use these terms, I haven’t made them up (eg Anne Ventzel’s cowls and Eri Shimizu’s Bunrin Snood). I wonder if different countries use the terms differently 🤔😊

@TanisMakesStuff 11 месяцев назад

@@danishmusings Yes, I think pattern designers often get it wrong, but I also think it's part of the evolution of language, so many people get the terms mixed up that it's become generally acceptable to interchange them and yes I expect we we can also throw into the mix different countries' definitions!
