My Irish father came alone to the UK as a boy of 14. He was schooled by the Christain Brothers in Ireland, which was a very harsh regime. He ran away, and came to England, ending up in Lincolnshire, picking potatoes. He was from Sligo in the West of Ireland. He was raised on a farm until he was sent to school and brought with him a love of Irish music, poetry and culture. More than anything, he valued hand crafted garments of natural materials, and always loved a good aran sweater. My English mum was a knitter and taught me to knit. I have lost them both now but I still have my lovely step mum, so I am knitting her the cabled Ice Sparkles scarf by Anne Hanson for Christmas. It’s in a lovely Donegal Tweed creamy merino blend with very subtle pale blue and yellow speckles. It is for her and it is also for my lost mum and dad and as I knit, I feel my mum’s presence and see her hands working and I hear my father saying in his irish lilt, ‘Now isn’t that beautiful, all together?’

My grandparents immigrated to Canada via Sweden before WW2. During the war My Grandmother knit garments, which she traded for bread & food. I was always fascinated how yarn transformed into wearable garments. Needless to say she also taught me how to knit the basics:) I have recently discovered the wonderful unspun yarn & prefer the Scandinavian construction. I will have to try the Nutiden next! Your Chanel is very inspirational 🎉

My maternal great grandmother was a young mother to two children during the partition of India and Pakistan. For many generations, ancestors from both of my paternal and maternal sides have passed down the art of knitting. It is something that my grandmothers valued and passed down to my mother and my aunts. As I was born and raised in the US, I never got to experience the true art of knitting as the generations before me had. Now, every chance I get, I sit down with my grandmothers and learn the art of knitting as it was taught to them from before. Knitting in my culture holds a valuable significance, as women used to knit sweaters, shawls, blankets, etc. for special occassions. I rediscovered my passion for knitting last year and have learned so many skillsets since then. One thing I am particularly fond of is Nordic Knitting as the finished result produces a beautiful and intricate pattern. I am currently in the process of knitting a blanket following a nordic pattern and am thinking of gifting the finished blanket to my grandmother before the new year. I am so excited that I have come across your channel. I have been trying to find more knitting podcasts and the way you organize and talk in your videos makes me fall in love with knitting even more. Also, you are the first South Asian knitter I have come across on the internet! I love to see the representation, especially in such a niche community. Much love from the US and your fellow South Asian knitter <3

My grandmother quilted and included old aprons, dresses and fabrics into a quilt that I still have and is quite tattered. I also quilt and recently (10 years) have been saving men's and women's plaid shirts in order to make a quilt. I think I'm very close to having enough now. I really enjoy looking at the quilt that's been on our bed for nearly 30 years and imagining how those fabrics had been used. They are all ageing at different rates and that's how I know she had collected fabrics over time. She lived in New Brunswick Canada and we live in Ontario Canada. She recently passed in 2020 at the ripe old age of 97, bless her. I really enjoyed your newly discovered podcast, thank-you.

I just found your podcast and I am in LOVE! I am a mom of four, we are going to move to the USA from Germany in just under two weeks - eeeeek! My great-grandmother was displaced in the aftermath of of WWII from what is today the Czech Republic to southern Germany. Back home, my great-grandparents grew flax, which is a plant fiber that is used to make fabric. My great-grandmother was a prolific knitter. When they were displaced, she would salvage yarn from who-knows-where and knit it into garments, which she then sold in order to make an income. She passed down her knitting skills to my dear grandmother, who even created her own knitting patterns back in the second half of the 20th century. My grandmother taught me how to knit, crochet, embroider, and other yarny crafts. I grew up wearing handknits and I am now passing down that heritage to my children. My oldest son, who just turned 9yo, has knit his own cowl, which he has proudly been wearing.

I've just discovered your lovely podcast, and will now have to look at the previous 9! I learned to knit from my mother, crochet from my grandmother, and now at age 72 am teaching one granddaughter to crochet and one to knit! Three of my grandparents were immigrants to Canada from the UK, and the 4th came to Canada as a homesteader from the U.S.; he was descended from very early U.S. immigrants ( 1600s). I love spinning, and here in the beautiful B.C. Fraser Valley have access to lovely fibre to feed my passion. One of my grandmothers crocheted lovely, fine tablecloths, which I now treasure, and know that some day her great, great granddaughters will also treasure!

I am just discovering you, Daki, and I love your calm energy! "My hands are in wool, and my heart is in the right place." What a joy! Thank you for your podcast. Cheers from the East Coast in Maryland...

I’m from Kenya but live in the US. When I was young, my Mum and her friends knit baby items for each others newborns. I learnt the basics of knit/purl from her. However I didn’t pick up knitting till I had my babies and she knitted items for her grandkids. That got me into knitting as a desire to learn and carry on that tradition. Since I live in the US, I’ve improved my knitting through the “RU-vid University” 😂. I’m loving knitting things for myself and now babies in the family.

@keikoparker4532 Год назад

What a lovely podcast. I was taught to knit, crochet and sew from my Grandmother at a very young age. I have wonderful memories of growing up with her and also being taught to cook and garden. She was a very talented lady.

@lesliepallante1612 Год назад

Thank you for your heart shared journey and know it's a joy to have found you as a new knitter this year. All those years ago my Italian Grandma taught me to knit and pear and planted the seeds that now are sprouting and growing with joy I never could have imagined. You are a treasure 🙏

@midnightknitter5654 Год назад

I have never seen anyone in my family knit or crochet. But I was told that my grandfather had a rug weaving fabric. I still love patterns on rugs.

@monica4705 Год назад

What a wonderful time I have had sharing in this wooly and tender time with you. I am so glad I stumbled onto your lovely spot. Hearing the children in the background in the reality of a young mother's world really warmed my heart. They are a gift from God and I pray you will have many blessings in the years ahead with your family.

Such a lovely video, as always! <3 I just love baby noises! It reminds me of when my adult children were babies. <3 Isn't just so precious when they discover their voices! <3

@coletteclark7759 Год назад

I live in Canada and learned to knit from my Mother, who immigrated from Ireland in her early 20’s. She is no longer with us but both my sister and I carry on the knitting tradition.

@heathermato2779 Год назад

Such a lovely podcast. I so enjoyed all the baby babbling. He's adorable. My family is from Eastern Europe, mostly Germany and Ireland and England. I did an Ancestry test a couple of years ago and discovered that I have a Swedish ancestor on my father's side and one on my mother's side that no one knew about. Years ago I had a co-worker refer to me as a Nordic princess, I guess she was right 🤣😂

This is the first time I have seen your podcast and I loved it! I love how you talk about your precious family! So sweet! I will be watching! ♥️♥️♥️

@teadreyer1510 Год назад

Hello Daki.. I found your lovely podcast thru Tayler of Wool Needles Hands podcast. I so enjoyed listening to your wonderful, easy going chatter.. you come across so gentle & peaceful. I love that you are also a fellow Nutiden patreon & lover of the yarn.

@Blt889 Год назад

I just love your podcast!! Glad it was in my suggestion feed. Can’t wait to watch more of it. I live in Canada and learned to knit with my grandmother when I was a child. She pasted away a long time ago but I still knit thinking of her 🧶
