Pikku Kimalainen Knitting Podcast Episode 1 

What a beautiful podcast! I am really looking forward to seeing more of your gentle spirit and beautiful knits.

I like that you don’t knit what is on everyone else’s needles. You seem to go for the unusual and challenging. Keep up the good work. I love your chubby mountains ⛰ .

I'm really into your podcast. Finally a knitting aesthetic I can relate to. I appreciated the background music too. I'm currently trying to re-evaluate my yarn choices and knitting styles and realized I was impulse purchasing all these beautiful colourful indie dyed yarns that I would just never wear. Although I can appreciate a pop of colour in my outfit with a nice whimsical sock. Hope to see more of you in the future.

Your podcast just popped up in my recommendations for the first time today. I know it is two years old, but wow lots of inspiration in this episode! Looking forward to catching up on the rest of your episodes 🙂

Sweety, don`t worry about "wasting" fabric. There is no such thing as "wasting". That thinking springs from a lackful thinking mentallity. The universe always provides for us in abundance. I loooove to work with fabric. I always tell my students not to be afraid of experimenting with the materials. There are no such things as "mistakes", only different levels of expression. And if you end up with a lot of scraps, you can always use them to stuff a pillow with it or other things. ;-) Happy crafting

I've never heard of illusion knitting, that's amazing! I enjoyed your first episode, looking forward to more!

What a wonderful first episode! All of your projects are gorgeous! Can’t wait for episode 2 😊 x

I also love that you not knitting whatever one else is!! so cool :) Well done on your first podcast :) Really enjoyed it

So lovely to 'meet you' hun! A beautiful first episode, looking forward to seeing more of your lovely makes in the future

Love your podcast! That illusion shawl is amazzzzing 😱

I adore the mountain stuffies! I want to make so many of them! And you are such a joy to watch

Love your universe and neutral colors, I’m very impressed by the illusional knitting, will definitely check this technique!! Thank u for sharing, looking forward to the next episode

Just discovered your podcast and really enjoyed it! Isnt it funny how we slip into saying "Ummm..", its a habit is all... you are aware of it so it will happen less and less as you pay attention to it! Your sweaters are great, thank you for sharing the parts that were challenging, it helps me to learn too. I love your socks, its an interesting idea to hold a strand of thread with the wool yarn - what kind of thread? I was thinking of trying to hold a thin mohair yarn with a wool to make socks... havent done it yet but am curious if it would help with longevity when using non-superwash sock yarn... great job! And I love your choice of yarn and beads for the Celestarium... that patten is on my list maybe I will do it this winter.... Im happy I have a few now to "binge-watch" now that I have discovered your podcast!

Rachael you are so pretty and classy. I am a knitting addict very into all sorts of vintage and modern styles sweaters or sexy tops. I live in London UK and it is always cold here..I have just found your channel and will surely support and watch all that you do. YOUR HAIR AND WORK IS REALLY AMAZING!! HAVE A FAB DAY!🥰🥰 By the way I am not into cascade yarn too...I deteste it😅😅🥰

I loved watching this podcast, please keep making more, this was so interesting and also relaxing to watch

What a great podcast...all about knitting! I am a fellow Montanan and I don't know what I would do during the winter if I couldn't knit! Keep up the great work...looking forward to many more! (I'm one who doesn't care for the boom boom music in the background...could be my age...butI can live through it).

This was such a fun episode !!!! I am so looking forward to seeing more of you !

Really enjoyed your first episode! I have the second one queued up. Found you via The Charm of It Podcast. I live in Hawaii and I, too, miss the cold.

Great first podcast, Rachel! I loved what you had to show us. You're a very creative knitter, and I appreciated the detail info that you shared relative to the modifications you made to some of your knitting projects. With regard to the Tracy sweater, to achieve your boat neck collar, why not just rip out the ribbed collar and do a few decrease rounds to get to the width you desire and then do an applied I-cord bind off? I think that might give you something closer to what you are looking for??? (Just a thought!) Loved your little "moon phases" background hanging. Your color work socks are wonderful, too. And since you like the name "Freya", have you discovered the podcast "Freya Spins"? She's a young German woman who is focusing on spinning, and knitting with her handspun yarn. She really likes "rustic yarn", too! Take care, and happy 2018!

Amazing podcast. Hope to see more of you in the future!

I loved the in depth discussion of all your projects! Really great to knit to!

Loved your knitting styles. I don't think I have heard of any of these patterns. But no show notes 😥 Hopefully you can add them in the future.

Love those Jason Funderburger socks (can't spell his name though) ... and Over the Garden Wall! If you happen to rediscover the pattern online please would you be able to share it with us? It looks great

I enjoyed your episode so much! If you want to try stopping your socks from bleeding out, most people recommend to wash them with white vinegar or color guard, I have tried vinegar and works. Hope you keep posting and happy knitting!

I really enjoyed your podcast and I’m looking forward to the next episode. 💕 I did find the background music distracting, though.

I am so happy to have found your podcast! You are so pretty and sweet :0 I’m a super beginner knitter (as in I know garter stitch and that’s pretty much it, lol) and your beautiful finished objects and wips are so inspiring! I really love the mountain side idea and what you’ve done so far, they are adorable! You should definitely make a pattern, it’s such a great idea. And acorn and deer on your wip socks sounds so cute! Ugh, I so relate to not loving to talk much. I work in a place that has “teams” and anytime I move to a new one there is always at least one person that seems to be personally attacked by my quietness and feels the need to constantly make me aware of it, meh. Can’t wait to watch podcast 2 and hope to see more from you. :)

I love the background music, it's really relaxing ! and your socks are so gorgeous ! I'm trying to change my industrial wardrobe by knitted items too, but my stash is no longer adapted to my style 🤔 I hope you'll continue podcasting !

Really enjoyed your podcast Rachel and your knitting is lovely. Please remind me, who is the designer of the duplicate shawl. Hope to see another podcast soon.

I quite enjoyed your first episode. You have such a calm voice and I like the background music. I’ve just started listening to lofi hip hop beats as background when I’m creating. Needless to say I got a bit of knitting done during your podcast 🙂

Really enjoyed this video!

Rebel Alliance Sweater??? You snagged my husband's attention! Great first episode...hope to see more. I feel your pain about wearing my woolen garments...I run hot. Still love to knit! :D

Lovely podcast and have subscribed 🤗

You’re adorable and your knits are lovely! Especially in love with your mountains - hope you publish the pattern. G Oh, and I hope you do put your knits on Rav if you have a chance, as I’d love more info about the yarns and patterns you used.

Lovely podcast and great projects! I'd suggest to avoid the background music and talk a bit louder :-)

What is the name of the shawl pattern? I couldn’t hear/ understand. 🙏🏽 thank you.

In a recent podcast the Knitmore girls talked about a yarn that glows in florescent light. I don't remember the name but you can check her blog.

I really enjoyed the detailed discussion of your projects but like the previous commenter, the background music really bugs me. I want to be able to concentrate on what you’re saying. This is a personal view and I often turn off the background music in video games 😀.

I find the content of the podcast very interesting. The background music kept me from listening to you several times, so that is for me a no-go. Thank you however for the time you put in the podcast, appreciated.

lovely podcast

Lovely podcast! I've been following you on instagram for quite some time and when I saw you were planning on recording a podcast I got so excited :) If I may suggest, I find the background music a tiny bit distracting (but that might be only me and my sensitive ears). Can't wait for the next episode!

Love your presentation but I find the music very distracting.

Honestly i cant hardly even hear the music, Ive got no problem focusing on your voice. Im sure it would be a little droning if i couldn’t hear any music at all.

Ok, Ill weigh in- the music just wrecks this wonderful podcast- its just too repetitive. Its like being on hold with Amazon. I love your content and delivery otherwise.

Sorry but your background music is very irritating! Your Alan Rickman shawl is amazing! Bye! I had to leave.
