    I’m so glad that your dog is making a good recovery! I initially came to your blog for the knitting, crochet and spinning content, but then I loved the Mediterranean climate Cyprus (I live in Maine), your gardens (bananas! You grow bananas!) and most of all, your honesty. Being honest is the most important thing. I love your videos so much. Ignore the few commenters that are nasty. They have to live with themselves. ❤🙂

    This is why I bring you into my home! You can't see me but you very kindly share all things with me/us and I soooo appreciate that. I sit having breakfast, catching up with you - you inspire me/make me laugh/cry and I'm always chatting back! It is a privilege to 'share' these times with you. I live in a house of all men (like you) and sometimes I just need the 'company' of another woman, who shares my interests. I have never understood why people feel they have the right to be nasty. If it's not helpful or kind then don't say it - it's so simple! Look forward to catching up next over my breakfast again and thank you so much xxx

I watch because your life if different than mine yet in so many ways the same; two sons, two dogs one cat, I used to spin, absolutely love to knit, etc. You grow different food from what I can grow, you have an active loving group of friends and family. Seeing into someone else's life is very interesting. Just keeping moving forward!

It’s very appealing to look in on you, your family, your pets, home style, garden, travelling, sightseeing in the area where you live …. all of it.

    Hi Ivana, I, too, have watched you from the beginning but am not so good with social media and rarely leave comments. But I do like to feel part of your community and watching not only your awesome knits, spins and recent other makings which inspire me in my making, I also feel my life and family life is enhanced by the sharing of yours. It kind of validates the normality of everyday routines and ups and downs and the joy just from being. Thank you for sharing ❤❤❤

Thank you many times over and looking forward to seeing you dancing and singing and enjoying life even more 🙏💥💃❣️🙏

    Hi Ivana. I love your videos. Don't stop producing content because one in almost seven thousand subscribers (and, kindred spirits) probably is not happy with themselves or their own situation. I save your videos to watch while I'm knitting in the mornings while having coffee; it makes me feel happy and content. Your family life is beautiful. I like to have a peek into content creators daily life and how they process their ideas into making art. I think you are very talented so, I hope you don't stop sharing with us. Blessings to your family and fur babies....

    Hi Ivana! I am reaching out as a response to your video to say I appreciate your candor!
    I am one of those people you never see (maybe until now ^^) because I tend to play your videos in the background as I am knitting or doing other things around the house
    But what drew me in and made me come back again again is this:
    You are a natural storyteller.
    Warm and compelling, these videos are easy to tune in and listen to. I think it is brave to pour yourself into them, and they are much appreciated.
    And I hope for every nasty comment, you get tens of encouraging ones!

I can fast forward through the part that I don't care about, or I can just quit watching. I don't send them comments about what I want them to talk about on their vlog.....it's their vlog.

    Hi Ivana. Like many others here, long time watcher, first time commenting. You provide a happy place for me with your vlogs. Love the creative (would love more spinning btw), love the garden, love the family and life content, love the fur babies and the music. Knitting my first jumper with your In and Out Raglan pattern (thank you for the inspiration). My questions is why does it take just one entitled individual behind a keyboard to bring us down? I think we are all vulnerable to negative feedback and for some reason, for most of us, it seems to drown out the positive. I hope that the person who wrote the comment to you, reads these comments, and realises what they are giving up should they leave this community. The support they likely need themselves is right here!

    I look forward to Vlogtober and Vlogmas each year. I think these glimpses remind us that we aren’t all that different. We each are unique, but we have commonalities. That you for all the work that you put into your videos.

    I could spend all day with you, and bring my knitting! Thank you for inviting me into your home. I honestly don’t know how some people can summon the energy to post negative comments. Another podcaster I follow (Danish Musings) had a similar thing happen to her when one person commented that she tuned in to her vlog because she liked the colours she chose for her garments. (She generally knits beautifully, intricate garments in powdery pastel shades) Beautiful, but one week she knitted something with neon pink, and this person actually complained that she didn’t want to see that! Like you, Helle addressed us, her audience, about it. She has similar opinions as yourself. If you don’t like it just leave. I’m just baffled by these people. It costs nothing to be kind. I’m so glad to hear that Sunny is improving… And, KEEP DANCING! 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻

I felt the first 2 years were very somber yet artistic, but also therapeutic for you, to release whatever it was that ‘broke’ you. I did step away from watching podcasts - life!!! I need to catch up, will look for that video you mentioned. These experiences help me have insight and better understanding of people in general. I’ve returned earlier this year and I love to see your love for sharing who you are, as an artist and a creator. I am passionate about knitting but I’m even more interested in your life on Cypress! I’m living vicariously through your podcast and hope to travel there one day! I have enjoyed seeing you smile since returning. 😊❤ happy to hear your dog is feeling better 🙏

    I've drifted away from a few knitting podcasts over the last year or two, and sometimes I can't really put my finger on the reason that I lost interest, but even if I did know the reason I didn't feel like I needed to make an announcement on my way out. I don't understand what compels some people to act like you work for them.
    There is a knitting podcast formula, with chapters, and certain things in a certain order, and a lot of podcasters stick to the formula, and that's fine, but it's not required. One of the reasons I like it here so much is because you don't follow the formula. I really enjoy the "Ivana ambience."
    Kayla Litton (The Crazy Sock Lady) follows the formula in her podcast, but I remember noticing two things about her that were different and really impressed me. First, she doesn't hide the fact that she's a Christian (she doesn't center it, but she doesn't keep it a secret either). Second, during the run-up to Summer Sock Camp a few years ago she took a few minutes to address the issue of rude and entitled people who were trying to make some trouble for her. Basically, she said, very directly and firmly, that she wasn't going to tolerate any of that behavior and wasn't going to be pushed around. Good for her, and good for you! And good for all of us who stick around.

    Dear Ivana, Had to respond b4 I go to bed! I love hearing about your life, especially how you lovingly take care of your animals and garden! All those things make you the creative unique individual who contributes to my knitting joy as well as the many other folks watching your vlogcast. Who gives a rip that "Karen" doesn't like your vlog style? She is pathetic. She obviously has no meaningful life therefore she wants to rob someone else of their joy. Too bad you aren't able to block her like a phone can. But if you see her handle pop in the comments you may be able to hide her from your comment list. If not, then find a hand emoji, paste it in and say 'Talk to the hand.' Then we can all join in and applaud you!! Your knitting fan club embrace you and support your vlogcast always!!!!! ❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏Carrie from Florence Oregon (formerly Northern San Francisco Bay Area)

This woman ,to me, is representative of the shift in culture that allows for ,or at least tolerates this kind of disrespectful, intolerant and self righteous behaviour .

    I wonder if it’s the same unpleasant person doing this to different knitting bloggers because another of my favorite UA-camrs (Lisa of Soulful Spinning) said someone made a comment “do you ever actually finish anything?” Which was so horrible and sad because what makes her so special is the mindful way she approaches her craft, fearless to experiment and try new things (that don’t always work out) and share all she’s learned for her audience. And here comes this person saying that mean thing and I’ve noticed this blogger is not making very many videos anymore. I began to think maybe this person is not right mentally or else had some upbringing where they never learned any empathy.
    I don’t know why they don’t just unsubscribe and go else where.

    I love you and everything about your channel! Oh, the rudeness is unbelievable - I believe there is a way you can block people that make these types of nasty comments. They can keep writing comments, but no one can see them, I’m not exactly sure how you do it or you may already know about this, but another UA-camr I watch has a one strike policy, which I think is fantastic! So happy your beautiful dog is doing better - I’ll keep praying for her continued good health!

    Thank you for bring up this topic. Another UA-camr (not yarn related) had a similar issue this week and addressed it as well. Unfortunately these are the times we live in. I posted a picture of some yarn for a KAL and someone commented that one of the colors looked "dirty". What a comment, they went to others putting their negative 2 cents in the thread. I think someone else could have been crushed by negative comment based on where they are in their life. Hurt people hurt people. I don't think people are taught social skills any longer either.
    Please don't change for us, be you. Your channel is peaceful and I look forward to what you present. I love your garden, making coffee, your pets, family, all of it. It's a lovely celebration of life.
    I hope I haven't overstepped here.
    Thank-you for this channel.
    All the best

    ❤ sending you a big hug! As a person contemplating vlogging, I so appreciate your honest share. I guess vlogging opens us to be vulnerable to attack, both subtle and extreme. (Hopefully not real harsh.) I think the answer is that we consider the source. The more harsh and negative comments must be from someone in pain. My approach is to silently wish them well and then ignore it. I’m so happy your dog is well! I love it when a podcast includes real life- and honest sharing. Personally, I don’t enjoy just knitting and cold tutorial-based vlogs. Please don’t change.❤

    well said. I am in admiration of you! I thought about making a youtube, but haven’t because I know I would get some hurtful comments. Try to ignore them, I think the root of the rude comments is they are jealous or in pain. Thank you for doing the october vlog thing….big hug to you…Please keep on doing it how you want to do it….❤❤❤

    Ivana - I just want to let you know that I do enjoy your podcasts - dust, cobwebs - warts and all. You are right when you say, no one is forcing anyone to watch, follow anyone on social media. If you don’t like or resonate don’t interact. Step away quietly. My motto is if I don’t have anything positive/ good to say I don’t say. Wish more people would take this attitude. I want you to keep on dancing and keep us entertained. Your lovely shining eyes will keep me coming for more. Yay for Vlogtober ❤

  • @LadyOfLaMancha19
    @LadyOfLaMancha19 День тому +1

    Ivana, often times I have thought of podcasting myself, mostly because I live in a very rural area where there are no other knitters and I enjoy the connections made on this medium, but also because I want to support local sheep farmers who are currently in a make-it-or-break-it financial situation here in Spain, and I would love to be able to promote their products to a wider English-speaking audience. However, what keeps putting me off is exactly what you discuss in this video: on UA-cam, you cannot control to whom you open the doors of your home.
    I am so glad that you are stronger now and persevering. Here's to many more videos of you dancing❣💃

They can simply stop watching what they don't like! I hope that my warm hug can reach you to tell please go on. Love from Italy ❤

    Happy to see your dog is doing well - I'm sure it's a great relief.That comment stunned me and it was good you read the post. Some people are just entitled and rude and you just need to leave them to stew in their misery. I recall a poster who told an expectant mother on here not to post her baby knits on her channel and she should instead create a new channel to show off her baby knits. She addressed the request in her video, simply said no and moved on. Good of you to set boundaries.

You are a beautiful soul Ivana and you have given us so much inspiration through your channel.
