Hair loss for me as well. I just wanted to give you some ideas for jewelry making containers. Try looking where they sell fishing supplies. They have plastic boxes that have little compartments and some even have the ability to move the dividers to the size of areas you need. They are similar to the pill caddies that are weekly or monthly. I hope I am making a clear picture for you. Love seeing you again and it’s always a pleasure to catch up with you.
Hi Ivana,if you are looking for storing parts for your jewellery making, good place is hardware store. You will find plastic boxes with small compartments and clip on lid
My heart jumped when you said you might take us along as you knit an “In & Out Raglan”!!! I would love that…..I’ve been wanting to knit one but have felt intimidated to do it. If I could watch you do it once, I feel like that’s all it would take. I can read patterns but visually watching is how I learn best. By making this comment, I don’t want you to feel pressured to do it but if by chance you decide you’d like too, know there’s more than one person who would love it. I’m also excited too see the long tube hat blocked and learn more how to knit it as far as measurements go. Thankyou for your lovely podcast, it is always loved, enjoyed and appreciated ❤
Thank you so much for your new episode. I enjoyed your company and feel I am knitting with a friend. I have similar hair loss issues. I will try the products you are using. See you soon ❤️
Ivana,it seems to me that so much of what you offer especially coming from your family room chats is not only inspiring but thought provoking/ stimulating. All of us appreciate your time and professional input. You are correct in sharing that there are a great deal of instructional videos available. Like your basket weaving sharing , you would bring is a bonding experience resulting in stimulating the art of creativity. Like so many others I was introduced to knitting , sewing, crocheting by my Mother creating an appreciation for learning a new skill a bond that has been enhanced in the past few years like you and others. Texas is a far cry from where you are and it is no longer 1945 but for me the exchange would be the same. It would be an afternoon of observing the joy one experiences in watching another process thru creating.
I so needed this peaceful vlog. I’m sitting with my husband in his rehab facility. This was a welcome diversion. I would love a series of videos on the raglan recipe! Your shawl is stunning. Oh I do some bead work jewelry and my dad gave me an extra little fishing lure box. It is clear plastic and has little compartments perfect for beads. Your okra- do you pan stew it with tomatoes? Tell me you don’t boil it 😂- I just finished my first purl soho half and half triangle shawl - what a labor of love! I think shawls and wraps are equal in my mind. I would call my half and half a schlanket! Ginormous!! Thanks again ! You brought much peace and joy to a rather tense life I have at the moment. Much love to you always❤
I like okra either grilled on bbq or fried in the air fryer (olive oil, salt, pepper). Half and half is on my list to make. I wish you well and I hope your husband recovers quickly. ❤️
I’d loooove a video series on the In and Out Raglan. It’s so pretty, but the recipe alone is not enough for me to be able to knit it. Also, your color sense is fabulous. I love everything you create!
Loving the woven wrap - that’s what I would call it anyway. Could you show some weaving on your loom and give some more info about it - I’ve got way too much yarn in my stash and I’m sure that would go a long way to solving the problem. Many thanks for your videos which are always full of inspiration.
Thank you... yes I can talk about weaving at some point, but until then you can check out the episode where I show my looms. I think it is called "Goats came for a visit" :) ❤️
Beautiful shawl! You do such excellent work on everything! You’re a true talent! I’m envious of all the fruit and veg you grow there, but not of the heat. We are having the hottest July on record for Maine and it’s been high 80’s F. But with very high humidity. Just a tidbit of info on your hair, when I was recovering from a very serious illness a couple years ago and having been given tons of medications, my hair began falling out horribly. I would put about 20 drops of Rosemary EO in a cup and take in the shower with me. After washing my body and hair, I filled the cup with water and poured over my hair and worked it into my scalp with my fingers. During that time, I stopped using a blow dryer and let my hair air dry. Then I put just a few drops of Black Seed Oil in my hand and rubbed it into my hair and scalp. After a very short time, my hair stopped falling out and grew like crazy. All those pieces of the fringe you cut off could be put outside for the birds to use in their nests. Just FYI. I also want to tell you I have been buying my olive oil from a farm un Crete, and it’s just the best. Thank you for another lovely video! Stay cool! 🥰
It’s been so good to spend some time with you every week so definitely cheering you on, so glad that I found you when you posted your very first episode, it’s been a lovely journey with you 😊❤️
I always love your vlogs. It’s a relaxing atmosphere. As far as new knitters wanting to learn from you I believe your mellowness and the fact that you knit continental style makes for a wonderful vlog. See ya next week 😆
yes please for some videos that show us how you knit/crochet, sometimes it's very helpful to see how you go about some of your creations :) Thank you in advance !
I came to your channel one video ago, where I saw you working on your shawl on the loom… Today, after seeing you pull the shawl off the loom, I ordered a loom. Small one, because I have never done it before. I am pretty excited about it, and I can't wait to add that into my yarn work rotations.
I'm definetely cheering for weekly vlog !!!! No pressure, but would love more videos for sure. And i love these vlogs, the garden, following you , the knits and the tip. I don't know if you feel it, i guess you do, but i feel a community growing here. A sens of share between all of us. That's very nice ! I was at my garden just before watching you, and i would love to be growing okra ! Yours are beautiful ! I have lived in Egypt for many years and we had them growing there all year almost. But here alas we don't have enough heat. ( Québec City Canada). I have tried many years ! Have a great week !
Yay! Another video ❤ so happy you decided to make them every week. Even tho my lifestyle if completely different from yours, it is still so interesting to watch your videos and see your garden and pieces of your home. Thank you❤
I love your woven wrap and your knit scarf. You do such beautiful work and inspire me with your color choices, Ivana! I also love watching Fiber Trek. Sarah is so inspiring with all of her crafts (and cooking) that she shows us. The paper marbling episode was so cool! I tried Okra for the first time a couple of years ago when we moved to Arkansas (USA), and was not all that fond of it. They mostly fry it here. Take care. 🌸🌼🌻
Regarding hair loss, age has so much to do with it, but you should also consider going to your physician and have a blood test to make sure your thyroid is working well. Women often develop hypothyroidism as we age and hair loss is one of the symptoms. Minoxidil or Rogaine is a topical treatment that promotes new hair growth (dermotologists suggest using the treatmnet for Men which is stronger) but it only works as long as you use it, stop and new growth also stops. In the US there is a supplement called NUTRAFOL which I take, but it is not cheap. I'm 69 and all my friends have thinning hair, menopause stops a lot of our hormonal and metabolic system which results in hair loss and weight gain. Aging is not fun, except for more time to knit, LOL.
The woven piece, for me, would be a lap blanket, and it’s gorgeous. Love your use of colors, I need to start to spinning more black, white and gray and add other commercial yarns into the mix. You inspire. I love how you work without patterns. Please keep videoing as often as you can. I enjoy every one🧶🇨🇦
perimenopause, my dear. it's loads of fun! hahaha that's also why you sleep poorly. 😩😩😩 I tried castor oil but I found it really difficult to wash out of my hair. It does work, though, I use it for my eyebrows and lashes. good luck draga 💞
Hello dear you are creative queen, I was losing hair and it had become dramatically thin, my GP had me do some tests and I had some abnormal values, he prescribed me the treatment and now my hair has definitely improved, I too have changed shampoo and do a mask with castor oil and other hair oils that she prepared for me in the herbalist's shop. Thanks for the time you dedicate to the videos❤❤
Thank you for another beautiful vlog! I love okra so much! I wonder if I could grow it here in the Vegas Valley? 🤔I also loved seeing your weaving and diamond painting! I do both as well! Diamond Painting is sooo meditative! 💎 🥰
I love your videos! Yes, please do the raglan sweater from beginning to end, that would be lovely. ❤ I have also had hair loss, it has been stress and hormone related. In the end, the answer for me has been managing stress better, sleep, hair oils/serum, and HRT - hormone replacement therapy. If you are interested in HRT, Dr. Mary Claire Haver has a UA-cam channel in which she explains this very well. Looking forward to your next video! ❤ Oh, yes, I think, at least in America, you have a wrap. 😊
Always a great video and thank you for sharing your beautiful work! Yes!….I would love it if you did an In & Out sweater, together with us. Each week you could do the “next” part. That would give us time to get our homework done & you’d have another finished sweater as well. (You could even make this a paid subscription part!? 🩷
In Hungary we call that wide shawl a stole :) beautiful coloures you choose. I love both of them. About your hairloss, try consider suppliments too, not just biotine but vitamines like B12, B6, Omega 3, curcumin these are good for stress and inflamation, and minerals. Hair loss can be a cause of hormonal issues, some sort inflamation in your body, or lack of minerals, vitamins, premenopausal state and so on, so a lot of things. I aggree with the lady who said you should check on it, but first a bloodtest to see if everything is okay.
Hi Ivana a big warn cheer from South Australia I love watching everything you produce. I got back into crochet when you made the crochet basket video and I have been wanting to knit your in and out raglan in handspun ever since you put out your recipe, so if you do make a video I would knit along with you. I smiled at your no kangaroo tee shirt because my daughter is hand raring an orphaned joey and when she stayed the night a few days ago I fed it a bottle from the warmth of my bed. My husband thought our bed should be a no kangaroo zone.😊
❤️ The t-shirt actually says "No kangaroos in Austria" :) It was brought to one of my kids from an Austrian friend, and I've inherited it since they grew out of it. :) It must be such a beautiful experience caring for a baby one. ❤️
Your woven wrap is beautiful. I would call it a wrap not a shawl. I think a shawl has a shape. you are like me and I love just knitting a long rectangle in garter....they are so easy to wear and so warm. My office at work so cold so they come in handy. Could you tell us how many cast on stitches you did for the one you are knitting? or the measured width? it seems like a great size. Thank you
Love your longer videos! Just a thought Re hair loss…I read about certain migraine medicines causing some hair loss in patients. Just something to think about. Ok, back to the video! 😘
As soon as I read this, I checked the symptoms of the epilepsy medication they gave me for migraines, and yes.... one of them is hair loss. :( Thank you for telling me though ❤️
Thank you. For the heddle, it depends on the thickness of the warp, I have 7.5 dpi (30/10) for lace and 4ply and 5 dpi (20/10) for dk and worsted. Hope this helps ❤️
Ivana, could you please tell me how WIDE the garter scarf is, and maybe how many stitched, you said it is about 2 meters long....my guess it's less than 2 feet wide maybe?....I have much handspun and just finished a blanket you inspired wherein I carded a bin full of mixed wools, spun singles, and held 2 together and knit a beautiful blanket in plain brioche...very addicting....as is simple garter stitch...the simplicity is so soothing, and satisfying after many socks and sweaters...also I think you said 4mm needles (on garter scarf, dk wt yarn) = size 6 needles ?
Thanks for the vlog. I'm inspired by your gardening. Love the sunglasses. Di you mind sharing I tried to look up but not sure. Tom Ford, Dior, Gresso Dalida ? Are they polarized? Thanks
Yes, wrap is correct. I googled and it said “Wrap is a more recent term, and used primarily to describe both shawls and stoles. Effectively it is an interchangeable word that covers any loose outer garment or piece of material that can be wrapped around the upper body.”
Hello Ivana, hope you are well, beautiful podcast, I would call it a wrap, beautiful blue yarn. I love the scar you are knitting, can you tell me how many stitches you cast on and what size needles, it looks like a beautiful gift for Christmas, I think we are having your heat summer here in utah, about 102 to 114 f. Its been a hot one, I use the biotin gummed, I am gonna be 61 this winter, it seems to really help. Have a wonderful day today, hugs❤
Usually when I see shawls on Ravelry they are either triangular or crescent shaped (my favorite), so I'm guessing that the rectangle would be a wrap. Decades ago I read a book by a woman named Paula Begoun called "Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter without Me" (apparently it's in its 8th edition now!), in which she warned against sodium lauryl sulfate in shampoo. She said sodium laureth sulfate is okay, so I have always checked labels since then. I found the thickness of my own hair in my youth to be almost unmanageable, so I have welcomed some overall thinning that has come with age/menopause. That being said, I am very skeptical of topical products and would agree with some other comments here that you might want to get your hormonal status checked and then decide what you would like to do from that standpoint. (Average age of actual menopause is around 51, but symptoms can start several years before the "event.")
I love your use of stripes and would love to replicate it. You mention that you do it intuitively, but I just don’t seem to be able to produce the same results. Are there any tips you could provide to help me? I would love to make both some knitted and woven items with many different yarns, some handspun, like you do. I love your videos! Thank you so much for producing them.
Hello Ivana, I enjoyed your video as always. I am very happy with the serum you recommended, you can buy it at Look Fantastic for 26 Euro! I wil try this. Had to cut my hair a few weeks ago to a chin lenght bob because it thinned out so much. I have fine but a lot of hair (had ;-) Hope I can grow my hair back again with the serum. Have a lovely weekend, lots of love XX Julia
BE CAREFUL WITH BIOTIN!!!! Biotin will cause bloodwork you might have done to give false/incorrect results. Tell your doctor you are taking it anytime they order blood tests. The doc may make you stop taking biotin for a few weeks before they try to do the tests. I found out the hard way. 😫
Hair loss for me as well. I just wanted to give you some ideas for jewelry making containers. Try looking where they sell fishing supplies. They have plastic boxes that have little compartments and some even have the ability to move the dividers to the size of areas you need. They are similar to the pill caddies that are weekly or monthly. I hope I am making a clear picture for you. Love seeing you again and it’s always a pleasure to catch up with you.

For the garter scarf, I've cast on 88 stitches on 4mm needles. The width came out to about 46cm ❤️

Usually when I see shawls on Ravelry they are either triangular or crescent shaped (my favorite), so I'm guessing that the rectangle would be a wrap.
Decades ago I read a book by a woman named Paula Begoun called "Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter without Me" (apparently it's in its 8th edition now!), in which she warned against sodium lauryl sulfate in shampoo. She said sodium laureth sulfate is okay, so I have always checked labels since then.
I found the thickness of my own hair in my youth to be almost unmanageable, so I have welcomed some overall thinning that has come with age/menopause. That being said, I am very skeptical of topical products and would agree with some other comments here that you might want to get your hormonal status checked and then decide what you would like to do from that standpoint. (Average age of actual menopause is around 51, but symptoms can start several years before the "event.")
Thank you for letting me know ❤️
Cool tshirt
Oh yes! My parents used to eat Watermelon and feta!! Greeting from hot hot Greece!!!
it's so good, my favorite lunch during summer ❤️
I love your use of stripes and would love to replicate it. You mention that you do it intuitively, but I just don’t seem to be able to produce the same results. Are there any tips you could provide to help me? I would love to make both some knitted and woven items with many different yarns, some handspun, like you do. I love your videos! Thank you so much for producing them.
👌congratulations with your shawls. So perfect and beautiful. For me a scarf is smaller, don’t know 😊💌
Thank you! 😊
Castor oil … 💗💗💗
Hello Ivana, I enjoyed your video as always. I am very happy with the serum you recommended, you can buy it at Look Fantastic for 26 Euro! I wil try this. Had to cut my hair a few weeks ago to a chin lenght bob because it thinned out so much. I have fine but a lot of hair (had ;-) Hope I can grow my hair back again with the serum. Have a lovely weekend, lots of love XX Julia
I hope it works for you dear Julia. For me, it did stop the hair loss but I don't see any new hair growing though. ❤️
Collagen also can help with the vitamin C in it I read online ;-) XX
Please tell me what is the kind of small loom you used for that shawl/wrap you just finished...I want to experiment with one.
I used Ashford rigid heddle loom.... they offer different sizes (this one is 80cm) ❤️
Hair Loss: the Crazy Sock Lady was asked how she kept her hair so beautiful. She said she uses Nutrafol for women.
thank you for letting me know ❤️
BE CAREFUL WITH BIOTIN!!!! Biotin will cause bloodwork you might have done to give false/incorrect results. Tell your doctor you are taking it anytime they order blood tests. The doc may make you stop taking biotin for a few weeks before they try to do the tests. I found out the hard way. 😫
thank you for letting me know ❤️
@@therepublicofme you are welcome. No one likes to have blood tests repeated if you can avoid it. Ugh! 💉🩸
