The Lento ist sooo beautiful, and you in it, too! Wonderful colours! 🌷
I think it is one of the happiest lentos I have seen ❤ and love the body of the gnome so far I bet it will look so beautiful
I’ve been watching your podcast for a while now but never made any comments. I enjoy your lightheartedness. I love the jumper you’re wearing in this episode and it suits you very well.
Thank you for your pleasant company whilst I knit!
Please do blab forever ❤ I look forward to every video, especially the knit and chat. 😊
I love your "blab" 🥰 I could sit for hours with my knitting in front of the computer just listening to you. It is great to see your beautiful work and I never miss a episode ❤ Thank you for this pleasant time 🙏
Your Lento is beautiful. I haven’t made one yet. You’ve given me inspiration.
You look absolutely beautiful in that pink sweater! That is definitely your color!
Thank you for another lovely podcast. Your jumper is amazing, I love how the colours have come together. I love to see all your lovely projects. I like the Lento , good idea to use that pattern and add the yoke to it. I'm sorry to hear about your ankle, rest upnand I hope you feel better soon. Your husbands jumper looked great on your previous podcast, you are quite right not mentioning the pattern , stopping money being used for such an awful purpose. Thank again Jana, take care Xx
Your new Lento is gorgeous. I love it! 😍
Sorry to hear about the ankle injury. Happy that it was not too serious.
Qs for the Q&A 🙂:
1. How did you meet?
2. Name one thing that you like the most about your spouse.
Your Lento makes me smile, Jana. 😊
I love your scrappy Lento sweater which looks great on you! I always look forward to listening to your podcast which is so much fun and I’m really excited to see your gnome taking shape. No questions! Just lots of love from Linda in the UK 💕🧶
The pink knitted mushrooms!!! 😍😍😍🥰
Jana, I love your new Lento sweater!! It's beautiful!
Love your gorgeous lento and the half and half wrap!!!
Today I planted unions in my vegetable garden (Netherlands). Hope they will survive in wett clay, but I didn't want to wait any longer because of bad wheater, but we luckily have no ice on mailboxes 😅 I laughed out loud when you told about the knees in your sweatpants. So funny! Take good care of yourself and Hi! to your husband (have no questions😉).
I did onions too in my garden. The only thing the caterpillars dont eat! Plus night scented stock in great big drifts x
What a beautiful sweater you have made!!! Lovely colours!!!
Love your Lento sweater, the lightly color changing into darker pink is beautiful and looks like have to be. And the weather this spring, well it’s been surprisingly wett and cold, but the weather forecast promised that it will getting nicer. So we’ll be brave and wait patiently for the sun. Have a nice weekend.
Beautiful Lento👍🧶Enjoy the time with your mum.😊
Your Lento is beautiful and looks wonderful on you. It must feel so cheerful to wear.
Sorry to hear of your sprained ankle. That would certainly complicate your week, and add to the tiredness, besides getting over that illness you had. Anything involving our lungs gets you very tired for quite some time. I’ll be wishing good health and strength returning in abundance!
I sure do enjoy this time listening to you! So fun to see your gnome progress. I still haven’t started, but will on the first of May. I did finish my Whitehorse (Caitlin Hunter pattern) and I love it. It is now washed and blocking. It’s a cotton blend yarn, so I’ll be waiting for some warmer days to wear it. Perfect spring summer sweater here. Now it’s time to pick up the Elton I started for my Mom.
The littles are asking for hot cross buns, but I need flour, so hoping I can get some this week. What is a favourite sweet bun there in Finland? What is your husbands fav?
Hope you have a good week ahead! Cheers! ❤❤❤❤❤
Gorgeous Lento! I’m so happy you have your mom visiting to help you. It means the world to be together when you are normally far apart. 💕
Q&A question for the hubby-Are you Finnish? Can you speak any Latvian? Do you ever get sick of hearing about yarn and knitting?Do You know you have a fabulous wife?😉😀
I'm so dumbfounded by your knittings❤❤❤. You work so fast! ✨✨✨ Your 3 stranded sweater is beautiful 😍😍😍. Hi Clucky!!
Oh Finland! Those icicle mailboxes made me laugh. I’m knitting indoors today because it’s so WARM (28 degrees C). I’m sure it’ll warm up and turn into proper spring soon and you’ll be gardening!
Oooh Q&A! Makes my snoopy-heart happy 🤭
1. How did you and hubby first meet? And was it love at first sight or did he have to win you over?
2. What made you (Jana) want to learn Finnish?
I absolutely love your Lento!
Such a pleasure to watch episodes!
Our winter is creeping nearer in South Africa, and I cannot wait to wear all my new knits!
Hope you are having a lovely weekend Jana! Mine is nearly finished and happily so, after watching all your bright and gorgeous knits xxx
Hi, Jana. Your sweater is lovely on you, great colours! I was in the Gnome group of Brownies (now called Embers?) in elementary school - so long ago I barely remember ;) At that time, for some reason, I was disappointed that I wasn't a pixie or fairy or something else. But now I feel honoured to have been a Gnome! 😂
Hi, that is so fun you have had your mother there. Hope the medical issues resolve quickly.
I am working on socks, amigurumi, i want to finish some works in progress.
That sounds like a nice outing for Sunday!
Have a great week!
I do love your Lento.
Questions for your husband: Which Star wars movie is his favourite? Have you made Bruno and Sofia fans too?
I like your Lento. I am glad you didn’t knit the double collar because my intention was to do the same. My neck is too sensitive for a double knit. I’m using leftovers from a previous project. I had to purchase extra balls of mohair/silk to add a little bit of body to main portion of the sweater.❤❤
Thank you for sharing! 👍 Love your new sweater! 👍 Have a nice week! 🧶🌞👍
Happy to see you every week Jana :) The weather was crazy everywhere, after almost a summer temperature we got winter again, sadly my flowers freezed and I my Letloppi sweater got some wear 😅 wish you happy Wíííkend 🌺
Your Lento is fabulous I'm glad you went with odd sleeves, it looks great. Its definitely your colours.
I'd like to see your husband in his Star Wars jumper. Also I'd like to know what languages you all speak hubby, children and your Mom ❤
Hi Jana! Will you speak about the wear (or not) of your knitted works of art one day, like you used to do? Questions for your husband : what do you do while Jana is knitting, ex. evenings and weekends? Do you have a hobby? Do you play sport? Do you speak English, where did you learn it? Do you speak it at your job? Do you like Finland? Ok,ok,ok..I stop! Heppa !
best description of home working sweatpants ever 😂
I love your Lento Jana, very pretty and very wearable. It has that “lift the spirts/comfy and cosy” vibe 😍 colours can really help to change our mood can’t they. Especially helpful after a busy week 💞 thank you for your podcast Jana, I look forward to seeing you each week 😘💖
It would be fun to see a “Lento Parade”! Comparing and contrasting?
Love your lento! It is a realy Jana version i love it! ❤ watch your podcast every week you are one of the favorite,s thank you again you are so inspiring 🩷😘 greetings Ivonne 🧶
You are so cute. I love the sweater. It is wonderful !!
love your Lento you look really pretty in it.
I look forward to your podcast every week! I live in northern Wisconsin, right by Lake Superior, and our weather is very similar to yours. We won't be planting our gardens until the end of May as we are likely to still get frost or even snow. In the late 1800's many many people emigrated to this region from Finland, Norway, and Sweden, and their descendants are still here (including me!). Climate and landscape was very much like home for these people so we can see why they chose this place.
Thank you for taking the time to do a podcast. I always look forward to seeing you and what you are up to. My question for your hubby would be to ask him what he is knitting on at shows? Thank you.
Your Lento is so lovely and I love that you're matching your mushrooms from last week. My knitting group is going to be doing a Lento KAL in June and I am super excited!!
I’ve just started watching and am so inspired to knit a scrappy lento. I like the collar modification, too.😊
Your sweater is so pretty!!
Question for you and your husband..where did you meet? How long have you been married? Hppe you are enjoying your weekend.
Love your Lento, such beautiful colors. Your Half + Half Triangles Wrap is looking good. My guess about the Linen Quill color combination is Peachy Pink + Honey Pink, or Peachy Pink + Peony Pink. The first one is a combination featured among Purl Soho's array of H+HTWs. I love their color Honey Pink. Peachy Pink also looks wonderful with Lavender Opal.
Veeekend! Lol ( yes I watch them😂)
Wishing you a healthy spring!
Wonderful new Lento sweater!
Your scrappy Lento is lovely! The Lento is such a great sweater pattern 😁
Only discovered your channel a few weeks ago - I crochet more than I knit, but I look forward to your podcasts to brighten my weekends. (I am in the UK and it is still very cold and wet here for April too but thankfully no snow!) I love your Lento sweater and your mushrooms from last week. Thank you Jana
Your Lento sweater is so beautiful!
Great vlog, is clucky ok lol
we have the same weather here in England it's soooooo cold
that would be good Q&A, is star wars favourite film and does hubby ever help in the shop?
thankyou knit a lot ⭐🙂🌷
Love your sense of humor. I laugh out loud when I listen! Where did you learn English? I lived in Vaasa area one summer on a farm. My family emigrated from Finland. My grandpa and father could speak Finnish. I admire people who can speak other languages so well!
LOVE your sweater! First time watching you and I'm already hooked! Someone recommended your podcast to me on my own podcast because of your use of scrapyarn (it's in Norwegian, sorry) and I feel like you're my spirit animal! Keep it up, I'm for sure gonna keep watching 💖
😂😂😂I love your description of your sweat pants.❤
Love your Lento! I would like to know which one of your knits your husband likes best. Not specifically knits for him but of all your knits. 😊
Hi, here are some hubby questions....what does he think of your UA-cam endeavour and that you have so many followers around the world? What item have you knitted for him is his favourite? Does he drink as much coffee as you? 🙂
Your lento just makes me smile❤Another great podcast, thank you
I feel your wanting to get in the garden. My last frost date is May 31st - I have itchy fingers and am ready to plant things!
Lots of bright spring colours🥹, very pretty projects🙋🏼♀️
Love your sweater
"The ones where the knees permanently point in the direction you are going." hahahahahahahahahaha
😂😂😂
I think it would be fun to hear how you met you husband. I would also like to hear his side of how it is to be married to such an amazingly talented and wonderful woman!
Great lento!
Ooh pretty sweater and it looks so good on you
I love this Lento 💕 and thank you for the funniest description of comfy sweatpants and I am going to always remember your podcast for that nugget of laughter!
Love that half and half rectangles wrap so summery.. why didn't I make one for myself yet? I have not been knitting much this week... I have been working and had migraine for two days but I'm out of bed and that's a good sign. Has your husband used the star wars sweater and what does he think of it? What does he think is the most beautiful thing you have knitted?
Hope this week has been better for you. 🧡💗
❤ what lovely pink sweater ❤ please take care of yourself ❤
we all own “that pair” of sweatpants😂
Your Lento is beautiful. I would like to ask your husband if he speaks as many languages as you. You seem to enjoy learning them just for fun. I love your English skills. It's a really hard language and you do a great job. I truly enjoy visiting with you each week.
I am impressed that you were able to knit your sweater with scraps My goodness😊
Your sweater is so pretty and has a spring vibe Jana It looks great on you!!🎉🎉🎉
Love the orange and pink,so beautiful ❤️🇨🇦❤️
Your sweater is beautiful! I am excited to finally be learning to knit and am so inspired by your videos.
Beautiful Lento. For your Qand A with Hubby. How did you meet? And decide to move to Finland?
Your Lento is beautiful and it’s so you!!! 🌷I have a question for you and your husband….Where did you meet?❤❤
🍀
Your Lento is Fab! I didnt think i would like the colour combo, but i love it xxx
Tonttu is a Finnish lian from Swedish Tomte - which is rather more like a gnome than an Elf.
I think I said this last week, but your Lento is (still) fantastic! I’m currently working on an Anker Summer Shirt-my first garment-and I think I’ll need a break from sweaters for a while! Also, I promised my family members that I’d make some baby knits this spring and summer. But come autumn, I can easily see myself casting this on!
💛💛💛
How did you and your husband meet? How long have you stayed in Finland ? What did you do before you began dying yarn?
Your Lento is gorgeous
So excited for your 🧡 cape!
❤
Questions ❣ How did you meet with your husband? Do you Jana have some Finnish roots and what bought you here? Are you a multi lingual family and which languages do you speak together?
I love this latest Lento Jana and the orange and pink wrap is funky. I think I need to add the Lento to my future knits (for Fall). Currently I am still finishing up my nordic sweater and then I will switch to summer weight knits.
Aside from time in nature and knitting what type of self care do you like to indulge in?
I like your lento very much. Is this a pattern with a compound raglan? I would like to make a sweater with such a raglan.
Jana your husband will be calling you "my little pumpkin" in your ummo😀
Your Lento is beautiful! Your earrings match perfectly.
We only had about one month of spring. It's supposed to be 87°f (that's 30.5°c?) this week.
It's strawberry season. I've eaten so many! My daddy and I have a huge garden. We have zucchini, yellow squash, okra, tomatoes, and pickling cucumbers set out. I'll be planting sunflowers and some herbs soon.
No knitting :-(
I love your Lento. Why have you knit it so many times? I'm just curious, but I might need to give it a try.
Has your husband ever tried knitting, and does he realize just how clever you are when it comes to knitting?
How did you meet your husband ? How did you end up in Finland from Latvia ?
I love your Lento. The colours suit you so well. I have a question. What is the difference between the Sela and Lento sweaters.
Seela has a tighter neckline, but it has more positive ease, deeper raglan and wider sleeves. Also the gauge is slightly different. And suggested yarn as well.
@@FinnishKnittingStories thank you very much Jana
How does your mom speak to your family? Has she learned Finnish?
I laughed out loud at your world's ugliest sweatpants with knees that permanently point out! I'm sure your beautiful scrappy Lento makes everyone smile! I have a question for your husband: What is it like to be married to a youtube celebrity? 😀
Love your Lento! Questions for your husband: what is his profession? How did you two meet? Let’s see him in his storm trooper sweater. Is your husband is as silly as you are? Does your husband knit? What do you like to do in your and your husband’s spare time. Do you travel much? Question for you: why don’t you promote your yarns on this podcast? That’s it! 🤣
I like you even more for wearing ugly sweatpants below your wonderful sweater. Do your kiddos watch Bluey, an Australian cartoon for kids? I highly recommend it. I think some episodes are available on UA-cam.
Ok, so a question for your husband (I don't know his name): Does he think Helgi and Erlend interprets the Finnish spirit correctly?
For your husband: what is your favorite thing your wife has knit for you? 😊
What does your husband do for work?
