I’ve never seen any of your videos, but I’m from Vilnius and just had to watch this! I’m glad you had a great time, late spring and summer is the best time to visit because Vilnius looks it’s best with all the greenery.
I do t knit but I am an American living in Vilnius and Im glad you enjoyed the city. I have completely fallen in love with it here and its such a hidden gem. Hope you make it back!
While linen may seem rough on the skin, after you wash it and wear it around for a bit it gains some softness. Linen clothing is perfect for the summer, because it doesn't keep the body heat in. The main disadvantage of it is the lack of stretch, so knitting is annoying with it, but the result is worth it!
Wow loved this episode! Such fun to see everything. I admit I had to look at google maps to see where Vilnius was. Would love to visit one day. Thanks for sharing! :)
Truth be told I couldn't have pointed it out on a map before my husband had to visit for work. Now I definitely want to explore more of it though! And also check out Estonia and Latvia
I went to Vilnius a few years back in February, when it was -15C° but still loved it 😍 I think it's definitely worth going in spring time, it seems beautiful (and slightly less cold... 😅)
Just came back here to tell you I ordered some yarn on etsy the other day and afterwards noticed where it was coming from exactly. I looked at the logo and realized it's the first yarn store you visited! I just had to come tell you. What a small world. I'm in the US, middle TN to be exact near Nashville.💙🤗
@@Goodknits_ not yet but I just got my order yesterday and WOW! I am definitely going to be placing another order soon as I can! The linen is on my list for next year. I'm sort of new and haven't branched into summer knits yet. Funny, they are smaller and easier, why do we start with sweaters lol
@@Kera.S. surprisingly not always easier. I actually find them more challenging a lot of times because fit is so critical and their also usually have a lot of finishing details. Usually worth the effort though!
It's always so strange (and fun) to see my country appear in the little internet corners I frequent, that are very western europe/british/american centered. Thank you for the vlog. I would invite you to Klaipėda, Lithuania, but mostly for the beaches, not so much knitting and yarn :D
Beautiful footage! I absolutely love living in Vancouver but seeing this I miss old European city centres (mostly smaller cities/towns). The charm can't be beat.
Greetings from Vilnius! I buy from these shops but mostly we buy online and very often - Italian stock yarn. It is made for machine knitting and sold with big discount. Some types, like carded wool, changes dramatically after washed. One of such shops Mados Garazas is open in Vilnius offline as well. I visit them often to find exact color tone. We have local not bad linen yarn manufacturer, Lino namai. Latvia and Estonia make great sheep wool yarn.
Excited to watch this! It just popped up in my feed after being here for almost 3 weeks! I've only been to one shop in senamiestis, near where I'm living, so I'm happy for recommendations!
@Goodknits_ - I did! Ačiū! I've been to Happy Art twice (once for yarn to do a juosta class and yesterday for blanket yarn to make reusable water balloons for friends. Excited for the other two (Happy Art only had two colors of linen yarn - I prefer to use linen for juostai) so I ended up getting cotton and a cotton/linen/bamboo blend instead. Not even knitting but weaving and crochet even though I'm more of a knitter. LOL. Still working on the UFO knitted sweater I brought with me from home.
Such a nice episode! I'm currently in Lisbon and just had a yarn shopping day today, but I have been here for 4 days and only now have time to relax and knit a bit, so the same thing happened for me! Luckily I packed only 1 project with me which is also with thin yarn, so enough to knit during the flights but not taking too much space in the luggage.

Hopefully I’ll be able to come back soon! Would love to see it then

Good to know!
Thanks for sharing, Vilnius is beautiful.
Looks beautiful 😊
It really is!
Wow what a beautiful city!
Agree!

I really lucked out with the weather as it was around 18 everyday and full blue skies. Made exploring much easier

Wow, such a small world! Nice to support smaller yarn shops. Did you buy the linen?

I love beaches so sounds like I need to check it out!
Love this episode x
Thank you! 🩷

Agree - Europe has so much charm that places in North America are missing. Just a different kind of beauty 🤗
I love this episode so much! I’ve been to Vilnius twice and so I recognized some of the places. 💗
Glad you enjoyed!

And OMG! Spools of linen for 3.10 euro???
@@EsmereldaPea Very well priced!
I am Lithuanian on my Mom's side.
This was fun for me.
Glad you enjoyed!

Sounds like we both prioritised sight seeing over knitting, which isn't a bad thing. Better to fully enjoy the new surroundings!
TU so much for sharing❤
I go to the third store almost every time I go to Lithuania 😁
