I love the emotional support chickens😹 they make me so happy. Loving the yellow too, it's nice to feel spring like after all the wintery months.
My favourite piece of music is "The Lost Chord" by Arthur Sullivan 🎶
You played for me! My favourite…A song for Guy xxxx
I think Zig Zag blanket is really adorable, now I need one too for my little one. As for a music suggestion, I always admire Vivaldi Summer, it just brings joy and great mood❤
Such a beautiful piece of music!
Hi Malene, Thank you for another great video, love the zig zan zen blanket, look forward to getting pattern. Also really enjoy watching and listening to you playing your music just lovely. Best wishes Chris from Kent
It’s a great pattern. Big recommendation from me🤩
Thank you for another great episode ☺️ I don’t think I have one particular favourite song but I really like Let Your Fingers Do The Walking (sort sol), Alle Skuffer Over Tid, og Stjerner På Himlen (the minds of 99)❤
A lovely spring episode Malene. I so enjoyed the piece you played by Elton today ❤ Can I suggest Claire de Lune by Debussy please. Some might say a hackneyed piece, but to me still so undeniably touching and beautiful. Good luck on Saturday 🎹
Thank you! A truly beautiful piece of music 🎵💖
Thx dear Marlene,as always enjoyed your podcast very much. Favorite song is ‘Ti Amo’ by Umberto Tozzi. We, my husband and me have so much fine memories of that song.
Thank you! Such an amazing song🤩
So happy to have found you!
My passions are also music and knitting. So we must be kindred spirits.
I live in Somerset West near Cape Town, South Africa.
We must be😊Thank you so much for watching💖
Malene, this is my first time watching your videos - but I already plan on going back and watching all the episodes I’ve missed. It was delightful spending some time listening/watching you while working on my own emotional chicken project. Like you I finished the last of the 3 pairs of socks I had on my needles last night and couldn’t decide on which pair to cast on next. I have two skeins I need to cake up so if I get my chores for the day completed I’ll probably cast both of them on this evening. Just doesn’t seem right not to have socks on the needles. Loved your piano playing as well. Thank you. Salam wa sa’aadah
Thank you for your sweet words and for watching🎵💖
❤Serendipity. Had just cast on for the Emotional Support Chicken and was scrolling through UA-cam and found you. Enjoying your podcast very much.
Thank you🎵💖
Your chickens are so sweet! Mine will be cast on soon!! I loooooove your Jelly Roll blanket! I wonder, if it can be done in fingering yarn too. I love your cat! I have two black feline brothers myself. 🙂
Thank you! I do love my Boy so very much. He’s my buddy😻
The Jelly Roll I’ve knitted is in fingering so yes, that works perfectly. In the pattern there is instructions for both fingering and DK😊
As always a super lovely podcast!❤ Viva La Vida is a song I really like, sometimes my choir leader will play it for fun while we wait for people to get back after a break
That’s an amazing song!
I LOVE the zig zag zen blanket - it looks perfect for advents. I will look out for the pattern release. Seeing as you played Elton John today I thought I would request my favourite song of his - Tiny Dancer.
I love that one too🤩🤩
I’ve just finished the van Gogh Sunflower socks and an emotional support Chicken too 😅. And I looove piano music. I wish I could play by myself. My favourite Song for Piano is the Canon in D or Una Mattina ❤
The Opal colors are such fun🤩
For newborn socks I cast on 36 stitches and knit rib for the cuff and upper foot to make it more stretchy 🧦🧦
Thank you🎵💖
I do not have any favourite song but currently I am listening soundtracks from movies La La Land and Pride and Prejudice, so maybe something like that will be nice to play 😊
Another entertaining podcast with such lovely knits! One of my favourite songs is ‘Tears in Heaven’ by Eric Clapton.
Hi Marlene.
Thank you for another lovely episode.
I love the chickens and one of my favourite pieces of music is Angels by Sarah McLachlen.
Thank you.
Hx 💕🧶🧵🇬🇧
Thank you! That is a beautiful piece of music🎵💖
@@ThePlayfulKnitter I agree. I think it will be beautiful played by you the piano. You will definitely do it justice.
Thank you.
Hx 💕
I love Bridge over troubled waters
Jeg kan godt forstå at hønsene ikke kan flytte hjemmefra. 😂 Tak for et dejligt afsnit.
I love your chickens Malene..your Zig Zag blanket is gorgeous, I am also testing it. I am with you about being on the water... feel better with my feet on the ground.😂 take care and your music is just so relaxing. ❤
One of my favorite songs is How Great Thou Art. I love how you incorporate your love of music into your podcast.
One of my favorites is Amazing Grace!
Ooh I love that too🎵🤩
My Musical Tip from knitting Pianist to knitting Pianist: Lutz Gerlach Piano solo-a Kind of miniatures /Panta Rhei
Thank you for your beautiful podcast !!!
Wow Thank you! I just looked at it online and it looks like to really fun pieces🤩🎵
Tak for hygge. Desværre kan jeg ikke følge med ved knitathon denne gang, som jeg plejer, men så må jeg nyde det efterfølgende - "Time to say goodbye" er meget smuk og rørende.
I love your chickens - so adorable! Can you play the theme from Somewhere in Time. It’s my favorite piece of music. Thank you 🙏
I NEED a chicken 🐔😂💖 lovely episode ❤
They are great fun to knit! You must cast on immediately🤩🐔💖
Tak for et super inspirerende afsnit ❤
Ima pianist as well 🤗 That ladybug yarn is adorable. Good luck with your live for the knitathon. Perhaps you could play the theme from the Goldberg Variations by J S Bach, one of my all time favourites 🤗
Thank you🎵💖 Ah Bach! Such beautiful music!
I love your chicken 🥰. My favoritesong is You are my sunshine / Carina Gustafsson
I love Moonlight Sonata
So hard, I don't have a favourite song since it all depends on the mood.
I'm a bit nerdy so Disney maybe... Oh or even better something from Final Fantasy 😍
My favorite song for piano is Fleur de Lis. I’d love to hear you play it ❤. I’m worworking on an Icelandic sweater (Color work) with Alafoslopi yarn in the most beautiful greys and blues with a pop of turquoise in a pattern called Steinkriger by Kat (found on Ravelry). Of course it’s not my only wip. Socks and grandchild’s coat are also on my needles. Love listening to you. So soothing!
Thank you so much🎵💖
I love your emotion support chickens!! My choice for music is Mozart Piano Sonata #16 K 545. My favorite!!
Lovely projects both big and small! I so enjoy your playing too. One of my favourite pieces of modern music is Mark Knopfler’s ‘Going Home’.
Thanks for another lovely podcast - very enjoyable ❤. A favourite song is “Your Song” by Elton John. Love your piano performances!
Tak for strikkehyggen Malene! Det bliver dejligt med Knitathon næste weekend, og mit ønske til musikken vil være "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" (Elton John).
Og det bliver skønt med en lille forårsstrømpe samstrik ~ det bliver hyggeligt at strikke et par palet socks 😊 Glædelig påske til dig og dine 🌷
Fedt du vil strikke med🤩💖
Your piano playing is beautiful. Thanks Malene. ❤
Lovely catch up Malene! Amazing projects. I aspire to make a blanket like that one day. And oh my heavens… your chickens are beyond adorable. I’m working on my first one and I suspect there will be a flock 🐓
Thank you Leanne! Can’t wait to see yours🐔💖
Good to see you again I love the socks and the blankets
Love your chickens. I have made one too and loved the pattern and the ESC. So cuddly and cute. Your Jelly Roll blanket looks amazing and the new pattern from Anninina is really beautiful too. Happy playing with yarn and music. My favourite 🎼 43:16 🎶 to listen to while relaxing and meditating is Pachabel’s Canon. That yarn is gorgeous!
love the chickens and your Kitty...I would love to hear " The Old Rugged Cross "
Love your podcast and your chickens. I just found you and I think your knitathon will be finished now but if not I would love to hear you play For Elise.
An amazing piece of music. Maybe another time😊
Malena I love that piece of music by Elton John! It was one of my favourites when I was in high school in the middle 80’s! Fond memories!
Happy knitting!
I’m going to cast on a chicken for the knitathon and I look so much forward for both the chicken and the knitathon. I also testknitted the Zigzag zen blanket and I just loved the pattern🥰 I have a lot of favourite songs but I would love to hear you play either Billy Joel’s Just the way you are og Abba’s Last summer 🙏
Sounds like the perfect Knitathon project🤩🐔
I so enjoyed hearing you play piano today, Elton John is one of my favorites. I would love it if you played Scenes from an Italian Restaurant by Billy Joel.
Thank you🎵💖
I love everything that you play….i could listen for hours 😊 I love “Where is my Mind” and think you’d play it beautifully ❤
Lovely knits, and you have tipped me a little closer to casting on an Emotional Support Chicken! I have so many WIPs but it's so enchanting!
❤always enjoy ur chats and works🎉🎉
Love knitting socks!!!will join you for the sock along!!
Sweet chickens!!!
Love them that size!!
Elaine 🏠💕
Your chickens are so sweet and fun. I’d love to know if there is a crochet version as I don’t knit but I love your channel. My song request is Down by Sally Garden. I’ve never heard it on the piano but it’s the song I walked down the aisle to. See you again soon 🧶
What an amazing memory. Thank you for sharing💖 There is a crochet version as well. Just came out in Ravelry. Just search for emotional support chicken🐔😊
Thank you so much for another lovely episode. ❤ I want spring so must that my wish must be Greeted with the spring Sun 😂 Hilsen til forårssolen .🌞🌱🌿
I'm really happy I found your video, I love the projects you showed us and the piano part ❤ Really looking forward to your next video
Thank you so very much🎵💖
I've never heard that song but it was lovely. I would love to hear "Nuvole Bianche" it's relaxing and beautiful. Love your blanket!
Thank you🎵💖
I love the reinforced heal and toe
Thank you! And They are so easy to add to the sock😃
One of my favorite songs is McArthur Park. I love your chickens! I wasn’t planning to make one, but now I think it’s going to happen.
Good morning, dear Malene!
A few weeks ago I found your chanel.
I watched most of your episodes. In one of them you are showing the book Mouche and friends.
There is another UA-cam chanel called mousiemakes podcast.
In episode 176 Helen shows all the animals and talks about the making of them.
Perhaps this is a good information for you.
Best wishes and happy knitting!
Anneliese

Happy Easter! ❤
Tak for et dejligt afsnit ❤ Du fik mig lige til at skubbe mine planer en time, da jeg så det lå der 😅 Sangen du kunne spille kunne være “den aller sidste vals, før vi går hjem” 😊
Well done on completing your Jelly Roll blanket! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I still have a long way to go. I love the zigzag blanket too, and look forward to that pattern coming out. ❤
Tak for et dejligt afsnit ❤
Tusind tak🎵💖
So good to see your video. 😍
The Emotional Support Chickens and story behind why they can’t leave your home made me chuckle. 😆🐓🐓
Really enjoyed your music offering. 🎶
Never heard of Black Sun, but looked it up and it’s cool and kind of scary.
“Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word” Elton John.
Tak for endnu et skønt afsnit søde Malene❤ det var skønt at hilse på dig til Fiberfolk og glæder mig til vi ses igen❤️🥰
Rigtig meget i lige måde Helle! Det er altid så skønt at se dig og sludre❤️🤗
God påske 🐣🐰 og tak for en hyggelig og inspirerende strikkestund. En af mine yndlingssange er Higher med Creed 😊
Lovely podcast with your adorable supportive chickens♥️ One of my favorite songs is “O Sacred Head Now Wounded” by Fernando Ortega. So appropriate for Easter season! You have a very soothing touch on the keys.

Your chickens are so darling. I keep thinking that I need to knit one, too! I have some Opal Van Gogh yarn in the color vase and want to knit a pair of socks for my Goddaughter but the thought of a chicken keeps coming to mind!!!
The “ music box dancer” by frank mills is a favorite of mine and my husband. Our daughters loved playing this song when they were taking piano lessons. Such great memories.
Thanks for sharing your music and knitting
Gramma Harv (Deusprovidebit)
Thank you so much💖I just love to knit with opal yarn🤩 But the chicken is a fun and quick knit too😊
Love the chickens ❤ A song I love is Brother Sparrow by Agnes Obel
Tak for en hyggelig strikkestund 🧶 dit sjal er blevet så flot med skønne farver. De der høns er altså bare så skønne 🐔 der er sørme også gang i dejlige tæpper ved dig 🤩 Jeg er sikker på der snart er nye strømper på dine pinde 🧦🧶
Rigtig god påske til dig og familien 🐣
Tak for endnu en hyggelig times underholdning. 🥰
Jeg kan ikke nøjes med en sang, jeg elsker:
Livstræet
Lyse nætter med Alberte
Linedanser
Du kom med alt der var dig
Og maaaaange andre.
Håber jeg er kommer hjem fra en aftale jeg har på lørdag, så jeg kan komme til koncert. ♥️
Tak for hyggeligt podcast.
En sang jeg kan lide er kære linedanser.😊
I’m also a pianist and a knitter. We should do a duelling knit/piano episode! Would be cool….
That sounds like so much fun🤩🎵🎹 Don’t know if I can duel though😂
Your chickens are adorable! I love “Springstein” by Eric Church.
Love all the projects!! I will "see you" for the Spring KAT and am organizing my yarns for the sock KAL also! The Rye sock pattern by Tin Can Knits (FREE on Ravelry) uses 2.25mm needles and 36 st cast on for cuff for newborn. A song I love is "Fire and Rain" by James Taylor (and I will also throw in "So Far Away" by Carole King (any of them really...reminds me of happy childhood days). Happy Easter!
Thank you for your suggestion for the socks and the song🎵💖
Tak for et dejligt afsnit 🥰Du kunne spille "Lyse nætter" med Alberte 🎹
Beautiful music 😍
Anything Taylor swift would be an overall favorite, but also Disney songs that are well known would be great 😃
My 2 favorite pieces of music are Flure Elise, which i had to learn for a recital and the second is Color my World by Chicago
Tak for en fin podcast. Jeg ville elske at høre dig spille - Can you feel the love tonight - fra løvernes konge. 😊
Ravel Scarbo from Le Gaspard De La Nuit! Hehehe
“All the socks and all the yarn”, exactly what I would just love to do! I am trying to be good and have a couple, or maybe three on the go, but it is so difficult to stop there! And new patterns keep appearing…..what are we to do?! Love your podcast and very much enjoy the music.
Thank you so much. Just cast on a new pair myself so I know what you mean💖🧦😊
Tak for endnu et hyggeligt afsnit❤ Nu ønsker jeg mig også et par gule og pinke strømper, så måske jeg tyvstjæler din ide😍
En af min favorit sange er nightswimming af REM, så krydser fingre for en Malene version af den🤞🏻
Idéen er totalt up for grabs😊Skøn sang🤩
Love the Chickens got to make one of my own. I would love to hear an Abba song!!
De høns er altså bare så søde så jeg måtte også lige ind og købe opskriften😊 tak for nu🤩
Min yndlings sang er Anna Nalick med Breathe :D God påske
Tak for strikkehygge👌 one of my favorite numbers is “Halleluja “ by Leonard Cohen💕
"Let it Be" by the Beatles
De er så fine, de kyllinger. Og måske strikker jeg en, en dag... Når de ikke længere er alle steder 😊
Jeg er ret vild med Riverside af Agnes Obel 😍
Jeg forstår totalt hvad du mener😊😍
Du spiller fantastisk og jeg får kuldegysninger. Du nævnte matador i afsnittet og mit forslag er derfor titel melodien til Matador. Et stykke dansk historie🎉
Tusind tak💖
Hi! I just love your podcast! How about a song by Coldplay? They’re one of my favorites.
Debussy: Clair de Lune 💛🧶🎉
Jeg vil gerne høre Albertes Lyse nætter 🎶🎶🎶
wow could you play live while your alive by Bonjovi. I had breast cancer in 2001, so a long term survivor, this song was my anthem. This year i am being tested for throat cancer and coming to the end of the testing and quite convinced everything will be negativve, as are my doctors. Also turned 60 this year so I would consider this a restart to the year, your work is amazing.From Kintyre Scotland
Such a beautiful piece of music! I’m so happy to hear you are doing well and congratulations on 60🎵💖
One of my favorite songs for a very longtime…
Your Song by Elton John
I would love to hear you Play “ The Sound of Silence” I simply love that song
I got the ES chicken pattern to make for a friend who raises chickens
What a great idea🤩
