  • Finnish Knitting Stories - Episode 36: knitting in the backyard & trip to Turku
    In this episode I'm being eaten by all the mosquitoes in our backyard while chatting about knitting. A finished top, 3 new cast-ons, a bit of shopping and trip to Turku.

    Jana, you look so beautiful in your pink sweater in your beautiful garden spot. Your knitting is amazing. The shawl is going to be gorgeous. You definitely have a knack for picking out yarns and projects. I enjoyed being in your garden, but felt for you getting eaten by the mosquitos. Enjoy your family vacation and relax. Happy summer. 🌸🌞🌺🌼🌞

    I love this episode in your garden with the beautiful background, the chirping birds, flowers and with the exception of the bugs which didn't bother me, but I know you were miserable. Your sweater is fantasstic and I like the color on you, like a rose in the garden.

    I enjoy your videos so much. I really love your knits and hearing about what you are up to. Your garden is beautiful and the flowers are so pretty. I am watching you here in north Alabama USA where it is very very hot. Thank goodness for air conditioning. I am crocheting a wool/linen cape that I plan to wear on a river cruise to France in October. I have several other projects on the go also in knit and crochet and embroidery. Fiber arts are my sanity and relaxation. Love you bunches and I'm sending you a big hug!

    A little eucalyptus or tea tree oil mixed with some moisturiser should help keep those mosquitoes away. Tip from an Aussie.

    Jana, thank you for tolerating those huge mosquitoes to give us this outdoor episode. When they started to fly by I thought they were moths or butterflies. I was scratching along with you when you got bitten. Your outdoor space is gorgeous and I can feel the temptation the sit outdoors and enjoy the warmer weather.
    The FO that you were wearing is gorgeous. Seeing the buttons on it was so nice, because they were the perfect compliment.
    I am so glad that YT suggested your peaceful vlogspace during Vlogmas of 2021. Your shows are a much appreciated therapy for me. Thank you!!!

    @pjk4361 2 роки тому

    Thank you for braving the mosquitoes for this episode. So appreciated! Was just talking myself out of making another shawl (I have enough really) with a beautiful special skein of yarn. Then I decided to take permission from you to go ahead and do it, because it makes me happy and gives me comfort and peace. And I just purchased some beautiful clearance hand-dyed skeins that I, again, did not need. But life is short, the fiber and colors are beautiful (like looking at a garden of flowers), adult life isn't always fun, and shawls, knitting, and yarns are!! God bless you, your family, your business, and have peace and joy where it can be found.
