Welcome to the.republic.of.me
This is a vlog / journal /podcast about making things.
My name is Ivana, I'm an artist and I live on an island in the Mediterranean with my husband, our two sons, and quite a few animals.
Knitting, spinning, painting and growing a garden are part of my everyday life, so documenting this journey feels like a good way to share the things that I do, take time to focus on raw beauty of simplicity , while at the same time keeping myself organized and accountable.
Thank you for taking your time to visit the channel and I hope you enjoy it.

H Ivana I enjoy your podcasts and you have inspired me to knit a double layer hat. Would it be possible for you to share your pattern details? 108st with ?mm needle; width/ diameter & total length for each colour section, with fold up brim? Best wises for 2025. Mari,WestAUST🇦🇺
Thinking of you ❤️ miss you and hope you are ok.
thank you... I was talking a bit of a break but am planning to start recording again this week ❤️
Happy New Year, Ivana! I hope you're doing well. I can't remember which video of yours I asked this question because I think you responded to my question. Unfortunately, I did not make a note of it. Can you please tell me again how many stitches you cast on for this particular pullover you did using this Cascade 220 Fingering? I think you said that you casted on 84 stitches... but I could be totally wrong on this. Can you please let me know? Thank you so much. Have a wonderful rest of your day. 🙂
I don't really remember but 84 sounds pretty accurate.... just do have in mind that I'm a loose knitter. Happy New Year ❤️
@@therepublicofme - Thank you, Ivana! I appreciate your response. 🙂
I wonder if your red jumper would be less prickly after blocking/washing it. I hope you try something else with it (you probably have already, I'm just watching your video's in order from the beginning)
Beautiful sweaters! Do you feel that the Nord yarn schrinks a little bit when washing for the first time?
I've never really noticed that ❤️
Hi Ivana, it's milly! i just wanna ask why blocking is so important :)
Hi Milly.... Merry Christmas. Blocking settles all the stitches and you are able to shape your project easily when it is wet ❤️
That sweater is gorgeous on you Ivana! Lovely blog - wishing you and your family a wonderful Christmas and New Year!
thank you Rhonda... the same to you and your family ❤️
Beautiful knitting Ivana✨Wishing you and your family a lovely Christmas.🎄✨🎄✨
thank you very much... Merry Christmas ❤️
Merry Christmas to all! Beautiful sweater❤
thank you Susan, the same to you ❤️

Ivana, merry Christmas to you and family and fur babies. Thank you for sharing. Hugs from Nova Scotia Canada 🙋♀️🇨🇦

Hello Ivana, beaux ouvrages surtout le plaid. A vous aussi et vos proches, Joyeux Noël 😊❤
thank you very much, the same to you ❤️
Merry Christmas to you and your family, Ivanna!! ❤
thank you very much, the same to you ❤️
Loving your sweater very much! ❤ Greetings from southern wintery Finland 🎉❤ Such a beautiful way of making videos, thank you. ❤
thank you very much ❤️
Merry Christmas to you and your family. What a lovely family tradition of celebrating your family Saint ❤
thank you, Merry Christmas to you too ❤️
Hi Ivana. I have just received my first rigid heddle loom (Christmas gift from husband) - inspired by your lovely shawls. He now knows your voice when I am catching up with your vlogs 😂. Quick question from the southern hemisphere where it is now horrendously hot - do you ever knit/crochet/weave Summer items? Warmest wishes to you and your family for a lovely Festive Season.
that is so lovely to hear, have fun :) ❤️ I don't tend to make summer projects, it's just not something I feel drawn to... maybe because we usually spend our summers in as little clothes as possible and any kind of knit would probably be too warm to wear.... maybe I'll try one day ❤️
Great to see you, Ivana! Happy Holidays! ♥
thank you Selma, the same to you ❤️
Absolutely love the shawl! The combination of the blue and burnt orange is gorgeous! Have a lovely Christmas
thank you very much, the same to you ❤️
What are you wearing??❤❤❤ I have 800g of handspun and I really LOVE the shoulder shaping of your sweater! ( I tried finding it in other videos.... but then I get sidetracked on all your lovely makes😊) Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season❤.
It is a self drafted sweater from a few years ago... I talk about how I made it in the video "New sweater construction" if you want to watch ua-cam.com/video/gCygv2YaTNM/v-deo.html
So nice to see you again..oh I love the jumper you are wearing in this video, cool fiber and colours...my word you did a lot of knitting in this time.. so to you and Family A very Happy Christmas.
thank you very much, wishing you a lovey Christmas xxx
So inspiring as always Ivana, Have. Wonderful Christmas and New Year 😊❤️
thank you Su, the same to you xxx
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 🎄🥂🎉🧶💕
thank you, the same to you xxx
Thanks for this episode! Ivana, the sweater you're wearing - is that a self-drafted wonder, or do you have a pattern?
The sweater is self drafted from a few years ago, I talk about it in the episode "New sweater construction" xxx
@@therepublicofme Thanks - I love it!
Merry Christmas I never miss an episode you’re the best ❤❤❤❤❤
thank you very much, Merry Christmas to you too xxx
Thanks for a lovely vlog 😊 Merry Christmas! 🎄
thank you, the same to you xxx
Ivana, that vegetable looks like a bottle gourd to me. We use it a lot in India ("louki"). We make vegetable saute, a type of lentil (daal) to eat with rice and lot of other things with it! Always a pleasure to hang out with you! Love the mosaic socks :)
thank you Megha, someone else said the same. Hope you have lovely holidays xxx
Hi Ivana. Beautiful makes! Wishing you and your family a wonderful, peaceful Christmas. Many blessings. 💜🤗💜
the same to you dear Emilia xxx
@@therepublicofme Thank you, Ivana 💜
Thank you fir taking the time to share! Wonderful productivity! You are inspiring! Merry Christmas!
thank you, the same to you xxx
Love the sweater you're wearing today. Thank you for creating another lovely episode. Have a very Merry Christmas & Happy Holiday!!
thank you very much, the same to you xxx
Merry Christmas to you and yours Ivana from Montana, USA
thank you very much, the same to you ❤️
The mosaic socks are fabulous!❤
thank you ❤️
I supposed the soup turned out delicious, even without knowing what was this strange vegetable. I would have guessed a giant zucchini, but who knows. I love your socks made with leftover yarn, it is quite inspiring.
I love your socks and can’t wait to see your jumper. So nice to “see” you again 💖
Thank you! 😊
Hi! The vegetable is called bottle gourd... I guess. Kisses to Jake! He is glowing.
I love your mosaic socks, you should make it a pattern.
I went to visit my grandson for almost 3 weeks, so I am now just catching up with the Vlogs. Thanks for ssharing your makes.
Three weeks with your grandson must have been so nice ❤️
I’m intrigued on what your veggie/fruit thing is! Your mosaic socks are so beautiful, Ivana! I was thinking “crazy woman single crocheting a huge blanket then I looked down at the one I’m making, oh right, single crochet tapestry blanket! What was I thinking? 😆🌻🎄
great minds think alike :) ❤️
Isn’t it a Marrow (UK)?
Tes chaussettes mosaïque que tu portes , noire et blanche, elles sont trop trop jolies 🤍🖤🤍🖤🖤🤍🖤
thank you very much, I'm glad you like them ❤️
Oh wow your comfort blanket is beautiful ❤
Thank you! 😊❤️
I love all your WIPS and this podcast. Thank you Ivana ❤ I was wondering where you get those cones of mohair from? They are beautiful!
I usually get them from yarnsfromitaly.com ❤️
Hi from NZ, The melon is a Winter Melon. You need to remove the pith and seeds. Make a pork bone soup stock as a base. When ready add the diced bite size melon, dice shiitake, dried shrimps and goji berries. You can have that as is as a starter or with won tons. I’m a Chinese New Zealander 😊. Love all your knits ❤
thank you for letting me know and the recipe ❤️
BTW you can also put in a stir fry or make chop suey (I.e. with vermicelli) if melon not too mature. 🙂
Hello, Ivana just wondering what brand is the self striping yarn you are using for the watercolor socks? You inspire me in so many ways! ❤❤❤
I bought it randomly at the shop and it doesn't have ball band on it... I do know it's wool nylon blend though so I thought it's ok for socks ❤️
Hi Ivana. Beautiful makes. That crochet blanket is gorgeous! Until next time friend, many blessings. 💜🤗💜
Everything is nice and the blanket is so cool..love the colours.
Thank you.... it such a comfort make and I love using the blankets I make ❤️
Love those mosaic socks!…actually love all the socks 😂❤…and the blanket😮😊
:) thank you ❤️
Love your watercolour socks. ❤ It’s so interesting that your gauge is looser on the small circulars. Mine is tighter that way than with magic loop.
I think it's because I have more grip with larger needles ❤️❤️❤️
I can’t believe how much you got done on that blanket! Good job! Also, I love the mosaic socks.
Thank you! 😊
