Skeindeer Knits Ep. 180: Sleeping through May 

Love the new pullover! Congratulations on getting the dog. She will be great.

Tack för ett trevligt avsnitt. Lycka till med Din hundvalp ❤ ser fram emot att höra hur allt går sen 😊 Önskar Dig en fin helg 🌿

You’re looking a lot happier since you got your new place. You will be ecstatic when the new doggy arrives. See you next time. Thank you. 😊

Oh I know you will love your puppy to bits, and she will love you back many times more! (But you know that puppies have a LOT. Of energy, right? She won’t let you snooze for too long at a stretch.) Enjoy!

Sometimes sleep is a medicine as well! 😊 Walking is fabulous.

I am always amused when I convert your Celsius temperatures into Fahrenheit... I'm a "summer person" and I keep my house -- newly insulated with central AC, that can maintain any temperature I want at an affordable cost -- at 78F. Equal to 25.5C, and in the summer I don't truly want it any cooler than that!

How lovely to hear you are getting a puppy. I love having a dog. One of our dogs I named Pika. My family is Norwegian and this little fluff ball was my sweet little girl. She was my Lille Pika.

I'm sitting and knitting with my miniature schnauzer right now. Perfect indoors dog IMO. And agreed about stubborn 😂 With insomnia, I really recommend an intense blue light screen. I got myself one from Amazon and it cured my insomnia surprisingly effortlessly. I work from home and I think my body doesn't always know if it is night or day. If I turn the blue light on near my face for 30-60 minutes in the middle of the day then I can sleep at night. I forget to use it when insomnia goes away on its own, but it's winter here in Australia so I've had to start using it again since I'm not getting enough natural sunlight. Love your not Marius sweater. The wool looks beautiful.

My brother’s dog only reacts to commands given in English with an Irish accent. He’s from Ireland, and was trained as a sheep dog there, but has been living (and working) in Norway all of his adult life. It’s quite hilarious!

Haha, I feel you! I'm from the northeastern US and I can't stand the heat and am absolutely baffled as to why people love summer so much. I live for the fall and winter months.

I'm so pleased that you're getting a puppy . I know how long you have wanted one . Can't wait for all the puppy news ❤

How fun for you to adopted a puppy! Your viewers will enjoy seeing your puppy as well. I know you will enjoy her! ❤❤❤

Hurra for hund!!! 🎉🎉 Eg var hos yngste søstra mi denne veka for å hjelpe med å passe niesa medan søstra hadde heimeeksamen, og første dagen eg var der, fekk dei den nye hunden 🥰 Ein to år gamal lundehund som ikkje hadde takla å flytte frå hus til leilegheit og difor trengte ein ny heim. No får ho springe rundt fritt på ein gard i enden av ein blindveg. Ho har stortrivdes så langt. 🥰

I got my little girl puppy 8 months ago, and every day is pure happiness with her here. She's right next to me now as I knit and watch your podcast! Have fun !!!

You will have such fun with your dog. May a recommend the podcast ‘ Dogs That”. When Covid hit and I could no longer go to dog training classes I ordered a few lessons from here. They were so much fun and my dog loved her lesson time. I recently took a Therapy Class prep and was told that she would pass with no problem because she was so attentive to me. I have to get the courage to book the exam because while she is ready for the test I am rather anxious that I will mess up.

You look lovely. Love the sweaters.

I am here waiting for the puppy episode ;-) Haha. The day to day life with dogs is great. The practical issues are a bit annoying when you want to go somewhere without them. I hope you find good places for her to stay whenever you want/need to be absent.

Takk for en fin episode. Gleder meg veldig til å se den nydelige lille frøkna.

Even though you think you slept through May, it did go fast! In fact, this year has so far gone fast for me. Getting a puppy will be so much fun for you. Congratulations🎉

Your Dale Fasen Modell 140 is absolutely beautiful 🦦🤍

Congratulations on your new pup! I have a husky/lab rescue!

Agreed with using kibble as a reward and communication tool. I've also seen this philosophy with pro do trainer youtube channels.

From a Mini Schnauzer owner: welcome to the club! 😁 Mine likes knitting (i.e., messing up any yarn I leave laying around) as much as I do!

So glad you are getting medication and will be feeling better. I too have been very tired and have no idea why. I can't get anything done. So happy about you getting a dog. You will be perfect for it. I love listening to your podcast and know i am always here for you. Hugs!

so happy for you about the puppy. I grew up with a miniature schnauzer as well - wonderful dogs and bed warmers!

Looking forward to puppy content! 🐾

You are going to have so much love and happiness with this puppy it is going to far outweigh any of the small drawbacks you might be seeing now. You seem so excited and you won’t regret anything once you have her. Congratulations!

Eli, I love that you are getting a dog. I taught my dog with verbal commands and hand signals. She is such a sweet girl and the hands signals work great.

Congratulations on your expected new family member, you deserve to be a mom! 🐶🐾🫓

Hmmmm, have you designed a puppy sweater yet??? Can’t wait to see the next video!

My mini schnauzer, Pepper, gave me such joy. Look forward to seeing pix and hearing about her adventures.

Congratulations! Can’t wait to meet your new family member!

so happy to hear you are finally getting your dog! she is adorable! I totally agree with your dog training tips, we adopted a doggo in Feb and she is very food motivated and has learned so much from working for her treats

Your sweater is fabulous. I am in awe you are able to make all of the modifications to that old pattern. It’s important to take care of your health and spirit.

I love your not Marius sweater!! So excited that you're getting your very own dog!! I can't imagine my life without a dog!! You two will have so much fun together!!

Takk for en koselig episode 😊 Så spennende med ny hund!

Takk for ei koselig episode😍 Så kjekt at du skal få deg hund🐶 Håper medisinen din hjelper🤞🏼🫶🫶🫶

Naaaaw... I have a mini schnauzer. He's 5½ years now and such a bundle of joy! Congrats! And as always... thank you for yet another fun, and inspiring episode! 🥰

Enjoy your sweet puppy! She's adorable! We got a kitten last December to join our adult cat who's more bonded with my husband. I love having a kitten to snuggle with and sleep on my lap! All the best!

I hope your new dog fills you with joy.

A puppy of your own ❤ looking forward to seeing you in your next podcast & sending good vibes from one dog lover to another

The sweater is gorgeous. Looking forward to “meeting” your new puppy- she looks so cute in the photo. Hope the meds balance out completely.

Ny følger her 😊 Jeg er helt lik deg værmessig, sommer og varme er et slit 😅 Sååå spennende med valp, det kan du glede deg til 🐶🌸

You are looking great!!

I got my prescription at 25, in 2017. It was rough at first but then life truly began. Better late than never! Happy for you 😊🤜🏻🤛🏻

Looking forward to seeing your pup and finding out her name. Thank you for sharing. Love your sweater. Its gorgeous!❤

your body is telling you to rest!

The best thing we trained our dog to do is to ring a bell hanging off the doorknob to go outside to do her business!

Hi Eli (sorry I don’t know how you spell your name). I’ve been a follower of yours since episode 1, and I just want to say that sleeping has made you look fantastic. I’m actually going through a similar phase. If I try to sit and knit, I fall asleep. I’m so happy you have got your own space (having my space is hugely important to me so I tend to wish it for others too). I have a vídeo request: I love books about knitting, crochet and other crafts. I have a big collection but I’m greedy and want them all. I’d like you to show us your books, as you did some years ago.

Get a dog walker! Then when you are needing to go out for a long day there is someone to see the dog :)

Elli I really need that cortina, your one, made into a Skeindeer pattern. It’s gorgeous! I have to knit that. Do you understand how important this is?!☺️ Fabulous news about the puppy btw

Ridiculously pleased you‘re finally getting your little schnauzer 🎉😊 It‘s going to be wonderful 🐶 Totally here for dog content 🤎 (English cocker owner myself, we are loyal to our breeds, right!)

I absolutely love your Marius sweater - I cannot find the pattern as the link in Ravelry is dead (from memory), and the Dale link won’t open (forbidden, or something similar). I would be happy to find an English or Norwegian language pattern - thanks if you any ideas how to access???

Å ha en hund som forstår to språk er absolutt mulig 😅 den forrige hunden min forsto både Norsk og Finsk da jeg fortsatt bodde hjemme (hvor vi prater begge deler) 🙈
