    So many wonderful things happened to you last week. You are really blessed to receive that epic Fox sweater. Your Mom made you so happy with your Birthday basket. Sofia is really growing into herself. Those rides seemed really high. Your Mom can enjoy the outdoor blanket when she visits. I can just see her and Sofia snuggling up together. 🎉 Have a super Birthday!

    I really loved this post today, your beautiful “holey” sweater worn so stylishly and all the cheery news.
    I, too have been working my plant babies and repotting, sharing with neighbors as well as tending a garden. Happy summer chores in the mountains of N.Carolina as well as Finland. Love your earrings, Latvian basket and totally wowed by the terrific gift of the treasured sweater. Those type of things get passed down in families so your neighbor must love you a lot.
    Good to see you sharing much cheer that the world desperately needs at this moment.
    God Bless.❤

    • @vivianpowell1732
      @vivianpowell1732 Рік тому

      Jana, your Holes sweater is so lovely in both design and color. Very classic in its simplicity. It's perfect over a dress. I hope you'll decide to make one in a dark color, too.
      Your basket is a real treasure. I live along the coast of South Carolina USA, and there are talented basket weavers in my area who have been making baskets out of sweetgrass for many years. Sweetgrass is a type of bulrush that grows in the marshes around Charleston County.
      How proud you must be as the new owner of the amazing fox sweater, a true work of art.

    • @FinnishKnittingStories
      @FinnishKnittingStories  Рік тому +1

      Thank you! I have a special spot in my heart for all sorts of baskets.
      I think the holes sweater in a dark colour would look very dramatic and call for a special occasion to be worn.

    Lovely video , OMG the gorgeous gifted sweater, an amazing lady to give it to you. In vintage sweaters I find the yarn can dry out from time and use so when I wash them I add some hair conditioner or fabric softener just to restore the softness to the wool. Your projects are so pretty and you’re making good progress👍🏼🙋🏼‍♀️🥰

    • @MySweetT1

    Hi Jana. I am working diligently on a blanket in garter stitch throughout the blanket in stripes with Rios yarn (my favorite) in the colors of Lavanda and white for my granddaughter to take with her to the University which she is going to in about three weeks in August. The texture of it is beautiful, and I am more than half done wit it; Take Care. 😊and I think I will finish it in time. I am enjoying knitting it with that great yarn.

  • @denisevettraino7916

    Oh, also Jana !....the basket is so Jane Birkin, the British model/singer/actress who recently died this month...she is famous for her 'basket purse'...look her up her very interesting bio...there's even a colorwork sweater pattern on Ravelry in her honor ❤

  • @MySweetT1
    @MySweetT1 Рік тому

    If the blanket is bulky or too hot you can put it in a salad bowl to keep it off your lap and helps with turning. I also like to fold accordion style and then fold the ends in to keep the fabric contained. You can also use knitting holding pins to pin it together so it stays in place.

    I too, enjoy having a beautiful hand woven basket.
    The basket I use occasionally for a hand bag has a fabric liner with a draw string top/opening to keep my wallet, keys and phone from falling out should my basket tip over.
    The liner was not hard to sew together and is a lovely internal liner fir the basket.
    Enjoy your new hand bag/basket.
