Sheep breads i got fiber from:
1. Norsk Pelssau (note the double “s”)
The Norsk Pelssau is Norway’s only longwool. It is always grey albeit in varying shades, with color nuances and variations in the spectrum. It’s based in the Gotland breed, but was blended with Spælsau many years ago, which means it tends to be a bit finer and have more luster than Gotland. It behaves like a usual longwool and makes a lovely albeit slightly hairy lace
2. Gammelnorsk sau
This breed is also known as villsau, ursau, and utegående sau among other terms. In English, that translates loosely to wild sheep, prehistoric/ancient sheep, and “sheep that are always outside”; there’s no good translation for that last term, I’m afraid. This is the oldest of all the breeds, and the one which was used for the Viking sails.
Wool soaps:
Favorite: www.eucalan.co...
Another kind: www.amazon.com...
Cappucino blend to add to your coffe or sprinkle on top:
1 cup hot chocolate powder
1 cup of vanilla sugar(powder)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
(Taste with coffe and add more of whatever you feel is missing, I probably have more cinnamon in mine because it decreases sugar cravings and tastes delicious;)

I am a 64 year old lady,living in Bodrum,Turkey.I watch your videos from the first one,I like your soothing voice,your color choices and your grace.You are such a beautiful young lady,it is a joy to watch your podcast.And suddenly I heard that you used to spend your summer vacations in Turkey,when you were a child.This is very nice for me,I love you twice from now on.Greetings from TURKEY.
Teşekkürler
The candle behind you makes this nurse nervous! 😱
Would you please tell us more about how your grandmother knit her sock heels? It looked very interesting.
I‘d also love to try this heel!
Yes!!!
@@theknittingwitch me, too!
Agreed!
Yes, I am also very interested :)
Hi Inga, I am so enjoying your podcasts! I would be interested in learning how to do sock heels using your Grandma's method. Please consider talking us through it or writing a pattern. Happy knitting!
Hi Inga, do you know the name of the heel your grandmother used? Love your videos!
I'm having a hard time hearing you because I keep watching your hair and that candle!
I’m just learning to knit and found your channel. Love watching your past videos and seeing all your creations. So glad you didn’t light your hair on fire with the candle. I was so stressed :-)
Hi from Los Angeles :-)
Hi, I'm Fran, a boy from Spain, I just had an operation and I watch your channel, I want to thank you for sharing so much peace, your channel makes me feel protected at home, congratulations, it transports me to when I was little and I sat next to my maternal grandmother she wove and embroidered, it was the best time of my life, congratulations for your channel, a huge hug from Spain 🥰🥰
Lovely podcast, I enjoyed sitting and having a cup of tea and a chat with you. I love the patterned sweater, can't wait to see it finished, as well as the cabled sweater.
I don't really know a lot about yarn, I live in the middle of the countryside and there is nowhere close to me that sells yarn also I tend to buy online. I usually go by other people's reviews if I've never used it before; it usually works fine but occasionally... not so good. The scenery and wildlife around you are stunning, how blessed you are. The speed with which you knit I'd incredible, your fingers are SO fast!
Thankyou for another lovely podcast, I look forward to the next, Many Blessings to you xXx
Thank you for another lovely comment❤️ i will try to always do honest yarn reviews then😘
I am listening to you today from Cape Town. Enjoying your program very much. Do a lot of knitting myself am 86 years old and must keep my hands busy. Keep safe
Wonderful! I hope to be your age one day and still able to knit
Wow Inga, your Selbu cowl is so beautiful.😍 I love that kind of patterns.
The Lykke needles are very nice to knit with, I have the complete Indigo set.
And your crochet cocker spaniel is very cute.🥰🐶
It is so cozy and nice to sit and knit with you, it feels like knitting with a friend. I am knitting my Aurealis sweater now.
Have a great evening. Greetings from a very cold The Netherlands.❄️🥶🌷
Thank you❤️ stay warm and cozy😘
@@knittingtraditions thanks ❄️🥶
i was knitting while listening to you , good and pleasant time!! thank you so much to share your daily life and knitting inspirations
Lovely and calm knitting podcast. Love your color choices. 🌺🌺🌺
I am enjoying some sock knitting while watching your charming podcast. I discovered the Turkish cast-on for toe-up socks and and that, combined with kfb increases, is making my toe-up knitting experience quite enjoyable. Also through trial and error I know that I start the heel at 16cm from the toe for my EU38 foot so my heel placement is just where it needs to be. I also watch Fibre Tales and the Gentle Knitter, and I can recommend to you Cia's Bod podcast, a Swedish knitter who is very creative and loves rustic yarn, and also the Fruity Knitting podcast for technical expertise, stunningly beautiful knitting, interviews with fibre experts, mostly German and Welsh scenery, and interesting historical anecdotes. Thank you for your podcast suggestions and a lovely episode, and for your extremely generous giveaway.
Hey Inga, great job with the podcast. I am a physician in the US. I love to knit and quilt. Taught myself to knit around 10 years ago. Very relaxing and helps with the stress of the job for sure. I absolutely love knitting socks and doing color work. I am very interested in the pattern for your grandmothers socks if you are willing to share it.
I loved the sit and knit section. I’m on the last (section 6) of my third Vertice Unite Shawl and it don’t want to end... So it was nice to sit and knit with you for a few rows.
Well if you have three why not four;) i have already planned for another one aswell😘
Hello from Canada 🇨🇦. I love your podcast! It is very relaxing and I knit along with you. I am making an Arne and Carlos teddy bear, a baby blanket and a pair of socks. I am trying to get ready for Christmas. Try and get some rest ❤️
I really love your podcast. I like to use holst super soft. I love the way it blooms after washing. My current WIP is Stephen West’s MKAL Slipstravaganza. It’s been a very enjoyable knit. Almost finished 😀
Hi Inge, I especially loved the sit and knit part...while sitting and knitting myself. At the moment I’m making a hat in a pattern called Whirlwind by Drops. But like many other viewers, I was worried about your hair and the candle, please take care 🙂
Hello , You are adorable! Thank you for showing such beautiful projects and your lovely dog.I am glad that I have discovered your channel and subscribed.Lots of sucess and joy with your podcast.Greetings from Germany😍😁
Thank you so much🥰❤️
Hello from Rhode Island. I have recently discovered your podcast while watching one of my other favorites "Fiber Tales". I found you to be lovely and enjoyed all the projects and yarns you were using (Episode 5). I subsequently went back and watched all of your episodes and enjoyed every one. Your tone, content, and outlook on life is all very calming and inspiring. Keep it up. Best Wishes.
Thank you so much❤️❤️❤️
At the moment, I am knitting sock for next holiday season’s gift for friend and mother in law. Bit too early but we have to send it away earlier especially during pandemic. I also do love Cape area in South Africa and wanting to go back. I never seen such a beautiful country & landscape before in my life. Lovely people and so diverse. Food are amazing. I love South Africa so much, I bought myself South Africa’s pendant that I wear it almost every single day.
Oh my goodness! That sock heel of your grandmother’s is so interesting! Can you teach us?
So very pretty I was screaming that your hair was going to catch on fire !!!
I was worried aswell😂
@@knittingtraditions Jesse me to
I could not listen for the stress of that flame seeming so close to her hair! I lost a family member to fire similar to that so Please sit further from the flame.
Oh, I love your raku mug. My daughter had the pleasure of learning raku the pottery in school. They had a big party to fire their pottery outdoors in the kiln. It's a special technique native to japan. We love japanese art. My Grandma was Japanese. She lived in one of the towns outside Tokyo during the Tokyo raids. Somehow, she came to love the "enemy" and married a US army soldier, my Grandpa, of course. She passed away last summer of old age (not COVID her nursing home was spared any resident cases, 1 or 2 employees did catch it, but they stayed home "sick" of course).
My favorite podcast. I love your sweaters and color work. Beautiful dog too. Thank you for sharing with us. So interesting to hear about your life there. Thank you so much.
I am from Elk Grove, CA USA (near state capital of Sacramento) I am a retired registered nurse. I taught myself to knit in my late teens. I loved watching my grandma knit, but she never would teach me. I am left handed and so I would throw my work, but found that it was too slow , so I taught myself continental. I am currently working on a shawl, Festival of Stitches by Lisa Hannes. I am using Emma's Yarn which is hand dyed sock yarn (80% SW Merino/20% Silk) Colors are along the fall colors, browns, wine and gray. I am enjoying your UA-cam podcasts.
Thank you for sitting and knitting with us for a bit, it was great to get to know you better. Wonderful podcast and I'm looking forward to more!
I just recently found your podcast and I really love it. But that candle ..... I constantly shouted: watch out...... Love from the Netherlands ,
I was worried myself😂 it was quite far behind me but at one point as i flicked my hair myy heart dropped a little😅❤️
I enjoy listening to your channel and can i saw how envious i am of how fast you knit. That is fantastic and the work you do is simply stunning.
Oh my gosh! What a gorgeous dog!! (Came for the knitting, stayed for glimpses of the pupper!)
I'm so glad that your podcast is doing well, you have a lovely way of talking about your work and the yarns that you love!
I'm a very new knitter - I learnt briefly when I was a teenager but gave up after a few wonky rows of a scarf. Now I'm 27 and learnt again in February this year and I'm now addicted! I have made a scarf, 2 small sheep for my nephew and niece and a baby blanket so far.
I'm now working on a tiered baby jacket from frogginette and Theodore the little bear from lovely knit creations - maybe I'm being a bit too ambitious but I'm enjoying the challenge!
Thank you for the inspiration you give in these videos, I can't wait to explore some of the yarns and patterns you recommend!
Your vlog was such a joy to see today. Here in the US, things are tenuous as we approach Election Day tomorrow and my pre-election anxiety is off the charts. Your content is such a lovely respite from that tension. In other news, I finished several rounds of an exceedingly simple slouchy beanie I’m working on in a 50/50 merino/bamboo viscose. After spending the last three weeks buried in hoodies, it seemed like I might need to crack and just make a hat for indoor wear. :)
Indoor hats is a thing💪🏻 sending warm thought your way for the election❤️
Thank you so much for sharing - I recently stumbled upon your little knitting journal and I love it. I am a new doctor in Denver, Colorado, USA and I love hearing you talk about your work. Knitting has helped me so much - bringing joy and relieving anxiety - which is so important in our work. I can’t wait to continue seeing all the beautiful things you make!
Hi Inga! This is one of my favourite podcast. Is very entertaining and warm feeling. Thank you!
Hi Inga
I'm from California. Love your sweaters...beautiful yarns you used! Your crochet dog is sooooo cute! I don't crochet much, except the cute animals.
Hope you continue telling us more of your life...you have accomplished so much ! Love to hear more how your Grandmother knitted her heel...looks so good! Take care, Darlene Smith
It is lovely to hear about your part of the world. Here in Australia we are about 3 weeks away from summer. I have been spinning on my spindle while watching your very calm and relaxing podcast.
Hi again. I'm so happy you are keeping a weekly schedule with your podcasts. It's so heartening to view the next episode. I've been knitting for about 65 years. At one time I had a business of designing and knitting one-of-a-kind originals, which I sold through local stores. I averaged about three completed garments per week in those days. It makes me sad that arthritis has slowed me down to taking a long time to finish a garment. But I can't not knit, so I plug along. Your beautiful work inspires me to keep going, so a big Thank You to you.
I hope your able to knit for many more years to come linda❤️
Hi! I loved the sit and knit portion and getting to know you more. I love all of those TV shows and movies. I have a 5 year old and so haven't watched them recently. I miss them. Someday, she won't want anything to do with me and I will sit and knit and watch all the LOTR movies in one weekend. I am working on a pair of slippers for my husband. I messed up the markers so the shape is going a little off to the side. I am hoping the second is better and I can make a third that will be perfect. I am also working on a sweater pattern for my mom. It has a tiny bowtie texture all over and is knit flat. I am trying to teach myself continental knitting, but I can't figure out how to hold the yarn with my left hand so the tension is wrong. I'll keep practicing it on smaller projects and work my way up to a big stockinette sweater. I agree it would be faster if I can figure out the tension. Also, thanks for the podcast recommendations. I will check those out too.
Love to watch your videos! Miss my knitting group - now I have you! Thank you !
Hello from Canada, I’m working on a crescent shawl with Gotland wool my sister purchased from a farm when she lived in Sweden. I love knitting with this rustic yarn. I love the the knit and chat part of the podcast. You are a beautiful knitter. Thank you!
Wonderful podcast. I am currently working on the Venezia Shawl, by Joji Locatelli. I am making it for my daughter's mother-in-law who is a wonderful grandmother to both my grandson and granddaughter. I am using a speckled yarn from Long Dog Yarn. I chose this pattern because it can easily wrap around to be a scarf too.
I am working on a panel scrappy sweater. I am using bits and pieces from all the different projects I’ve done over the years. So it’ll either come out really cool or a complete mess. I making the pattern up as I go along and so far it looks pretty good. I enjoyed the knit and stitch part of the podcast, I think it’s a nice addition. So glad so many people are finding you. Also really enjoyed seeing the countryside
I just binged watched all your episodes!! I am a nurse practitioner and I find my knitting as my stress relief from these very trying times in the medical field. I loved hearing your story of your education and travels. Thank you for sharing! I hope you do continue the sit and knit for a bit section. It is like knitting with a friend. Be well, stay safe and happy knitting, Bethany
Another wonderful podcast!! I really enjoyed the added segment of sit and knit at the end. My knitting group has a saying “If I sit I knit” 😁 I was a little worried at the beginning of the podcast that your hair was going to catch on fire from the candle! 😳 Love your Toft crocheted Cocker Spaniel. I have made a few knitted and crocheted animals for my daughter and grandson, a little finicky but so worth the finished project!!! You are so right about that blue working so well with your golds, blue’s complementary colour is orange; so that makes sense. I am a fan too of Euculans Jasmine wash scent. I washed 5 skeins of handspun today and the whole house smells of Jasmine 😍 Have a great week and stay safe 💓🇨🇦
That sounds amazing😍 i filled my livingroom with smoke trying to light the fire place🥺 id much ragher have jasmine scent😅 i was worried about the hair too so next time that candle wont be there:p hope you have a lovely weekend❤️
I was definitely feeling the anxiety about the candle!
Me too! I kept staring at it trying to estimate the distance from the cup and if it was further away than it looked due to the size of the flame😂
@@Angelfromthewest I was so relieved when she moved her seat closer to the window 😁
Thank you for this lovely knit and chat ... So relaxing and happy to listen .... there is so much anxiety in this world and knitting keeps me balanced xx
Love, love, love your podcasts, Inga! I'm from a suburb of Dallas, Texas and I love seeing where other podcasters live and knit.
What a lovely and relaxing podcast! I have really enjoyed this sit and knit as I am knitting away on a simple Alpaca jumper for myself. I have just returned to knitting as a change from my usual crafts which I do. I am from England but do not knit in the traditional English way. When I do a knit row I use the Continental method and knit the English way when I do a purl row. I have absolutely no idea how I came about to kitting in the Continental way but I do a lot of things using my left hand instead of my right hand. I have been watching the Gentle Knitter and love her calming manner and she is relaxing to listen too. Congratulations by the way as you have nearly four thousand subscribers. Well done and I hope more people recommend you. Stay safe and see you soon.
New to your channel and I've just been catching up on all your episodes. Really enjoyed the sit and knit section in ths episode. I'm knitting on a pair of socks for a lovely lady who's just come out of hospital after surgery and I hope some bright socks made with love will help to cheer her up.
What a lovely gift❤️
Thanks for another relaxing and inspiring podcast! I absolutely love that you knit with us at the end! I worked on a crocheted blanket called The Celtic Mandala Throw by Bonnie Barker. Its going to be my mommas Christmas present this year.
I loved hearing about your adventures knitting when you were a kid. I only just started knitting this year (24 years old) and had to learn from UA-cam. I think its so special that you got to learn in school and from your grandma.
Can't wait for the next episode! ♥️
Wow you are a fast knitter, so many new projects. Very inspiring. I loved the sit and knit portion as well!
I love that you got the fiber from the sheep where you are staying. I hope you show spinning it in the future episodes! I took spinning classes in 2010 and loved it. I bought a wheel, but unfortunately I got multiple sclerosis and my legs are too weak to treadle. I bought an electric wheel, but I lost the natural feeling that the wheel gave to me. I haven’t spun for a while, but I hope I can get the urge to spin again. I taught my friend who had sheep to spin, so she has my spinning wheel and makes beautiful yarn from her own sheep! I have been gifted her yarn and made sweaters with it! So that makes my heart happy. ❤ I was knitting a pair of socks for my niece while you were knitting your sweater. That was fun and nice to hear more about who you are.
i havent spun it yet, i have an electric wheel so havent really gotten into it yet but i hope to one day have the urge to get better so i can spin it up :)
I simply loved this podcast, Inga. It was great to hear about your journey. Looking forward to future podcasts.
I love the same programs as you for the same reasons. My knitting is very focused on mozaic patternpatterns right now. I made each of my three daughters, my husband my parents and myself mozaic sweaters
Love your podcast. But kept freaking out over the candle and your lovely long hair xx
Me,too!....
Yes, same here! After I sat my own hair on fire in the bathroom I get pretty stressed out by burning candles. Put it somewhere else please! Just imagine your beautiful long hair damaged! And another aspect, it smells terrible!
I thoroughly enjoy your videos, and enjoyed hearing more about you. I loved when you talked about knitting in school. When I was in my teens, we lived in Norway just a bit, in Sandnes, right on the fjord. Our first day there, jet lagged, our landlord showed up to introduce himself. My dad was at work, so he missed the fun. Our landlord wanted to take us on a little tour of the town. I think we went everywhere lol. He took us to the high school (maybe he was a teacher there? i don't remember), and showed us around. I was fascinated by the handicrafts the students had made. We had "home economics" in 8th and 9th grade, but it was nothing like the crafts that Norwegian students were learning. I was so envious. I miss Norway so much. I can still smell the sea and the baking.
Hopefully you get to come back one day🥰❤️ you just gave me flashbacks to my highschool days now🥰 good times😌
I was so excited to see a video from you today! As soon as my little ones went to bed I unpacked my new yarn and started winding it into cakes while watching your vid. Love it!
You can DEFINITELY wear blue!! It’s a great color on you!
Thank you😘
Hi Inga! We call it "Neut Muskaat" in Afrikaans. Your nutmeg. :) Also I use Woolite here in South Africa to soak yarn in. It really softens it up. Your Cowl is so gorgeous. I would call it 'fair isle", the way you mix your colours. Oh I am so proud of you for using our South African "African Expressions LOVE". Wow! I wanted to raise our flat! :) I love the doggy you made. So beautiful. Long-time WIP's that has not been touched is a UFO (unfinished object) :) I love your african fabric bag. We also sell that in South Africa. It is imported from countries upper on the continent. Oh Inga, I also want to learn how to spin. It's on my list of things to learn. There are so many videos on youtube how to do it. So i definitely want to learn. Congratulations to the winner!! Oh yes, giveaways are great. For the giver and for the receiver! I love your granny stitch blankets you're busy with. Oh dear, it is so beautiful, of course, my personal favourite. I also prefer to wear crochet for my crochet tutorials. Can't always do it but I try. About knitting tight, I've taught many people to crochet and I've found the same. Some people hang on for dear life. :) But as they relax it gets better. I think your grandmother must be so proud of you. I would be so proud of you.My daughter writes phonetically. She has improved a lot and these days with apps like Grammarly it is not a problem. Our doctors take 10 years before they can go private. 7yrs study and at least 2 years that they have to work for the government :( They don't like that. Oh Inga, I know what you mean about the insects/bugs. I hate it. I went to visit friends on a farm, way north in South Africa, and I found all the insects were so HUGE! For the 10days I stayed there I was terrified and moved my bed to the middle of the room at night and slept totally covered with sheets. Hard to breathe but SO afraid. I so totally get you. So sorry this comment is so long but I'm commenting as I'm watching. I love watching Vikings and Blacklist on Netflix. Your nature scenes are beautiful. love it.thank you for a beautiful podcast. xo
I find i understoodAfrikaans somewhat when i was i cape town, i learnt german in school and some afrikaans words seem to sound like a crossing between dutch and norwegian😅 muskatt nøtt- neut muskaat😁❤️
And i loved your long comment😁❤️ i actually didnt know the arfican expressions were from south africa, that is so cool!!! Love that its found its way all the way up north😄 i do remember meeting medical students that had to work for the goverment first, but i think its good to give back to thos who meed it the most🤗 here we have to work in the goverment hospitals for at least five tears before we can call ourselves specialists and go private👍🏻 i would have put the bed in the middle of the room and wrapped a thin fabric around my head to sleep! Vikings is a great show, but i was upset when ragnar... (no spoilers hehe) hope you have a lovely day😘
I absolutely LOVE you and your podcast. I’m knitting while watching a test knit summer top in hot pink and lime green. It has a few rows of lace and a section of brioche. Now just lugging through the stockinette of the body. I live outside of Detroit Michigan and it’s spring. It makes me happy seeing the world come back to life. Have a beautiful day. I just found you last week and going through past episodes. You and your work is so impeccable.
Have a lovely end of spring start of summer🥰❤️
Thanks for another great episode! My grandma taught me how to knit too - definitely makes it so much more special every time I work on a project. :)
Lovely podcast! I am knitting socks in Christmas colors for my granddaughter. Loved hearing more about your life! Take care!
Hello. My daughter Amy, who has the new podcast entitled The Meaningful Stitch, directed me to your podcast and I’m so glad she did! I have binge watched all of your episodes and I love your gentle ways and all of your knits. Your presence during these difficult days of confinement in France is much appreciated. Looking forward to your next episode 🧶
Hello from the Pacific Northwest in Washington State (USA)! I just found you here on UA-cam and am watching from the beginning. Enjoying your sharing. I am currently working on vanilla socks for grandkids and a Musselburgh Hat for my husband.
So relaxing 😌... Love your projects! Thanks for the recommendations on podcasts
So glad I found your podcast. You have a pretty exciting, and important life! I can't wait to see the yarn you spin using the fibre from the sheep. 🧶
Inga, I can't express what a delight it is to watch your podcast!! Thanks for knitting with me 🙂
You are so welcome!
I'm binge watching all your episodes. You've answered so many of my questions. I'm always nosey about linguistics and where folk get their languages from. You answered my question about how you have such beautiful English. It is also fascinating to hear about your travels in Africa. I live in Chad a lot of the time. But I've also been to Kenya and Uganda. All of them do have beautiful material prints, like your project bag that you showed. But also they do all have a lot of bugs! Like you, I often use a mosi net to protect me from bugs at night other than mosquitos!
Thanks again for sharing your knitting and your time.
So nice to watch you knit and hear you talk about learning to knit from your grandma. My granddaughter is 6 now and I've been wondering iwhen she might to be able to start learning. I learned from my 4th grade teacher and also knit a light yellow scarf for my first project! I also loved hearing about your education and experiences - I can see why you love Norway so much also! I live in the states (Ohio) and really enjoy watching podcasts from other places - I'd love to take a walk and wander past some sheep - that wool is lovely - I'm so glad you rescued it! I am watching you while knitting on a pair of fingerless mitts - we've been trying to hold off turning on the furnace as the days get cooler, so I've been getting cold hands.
Love that we knit the same first object! She could probably lesrn now but i think i got a lot better when i was about 8-9, had better eye hand coordinatiom by then;) but there was some lovely memories with her so i say go for it😁 fingerlessmitts is on my agenda aswell🧶
Hi Inga. Your podcast is so enjoyable and I loved your sit and knit and hearing about your Grandmother teaching you to knit. I visited Norway for the first time last year and fell in love with your country for its beauty, culture, people and of course all the yarn! I live in North Carolina in the Blue Ridge Mountains. I am knitting the Girlfriend cardigan by Ankestrick. I was inspired by Nicole of the Gentle Knitter podcast. I wanted something simple and cozy but love the little details that make it unique.
Hello Inga. I love your podcast in particular the yarns and your colour combinations. I’m thrilled with your Toft cocker spaniel. I have a black cocker with greying ears and chin at almost 13 years old. Thank you for showing the countryside and the animals on the farm. Any more pics are very welcome. I’m in Canada and we have snow which I enjoy so I’m looking forward to some future more snowy Norway photos. Please keep podcasting
Im glad to hear about someone else with an aging cocker❤️ hope you have a lovely week
Hi Inga! Your podcast is very enjoyable. I love you color choices on all your projects. Beautiful. Knitters who knit English style with a knitting belt are the record holders for the fastest knitting.
I had to do some reasearch, i found that the world record is held by miriam tegels it doesnt say what way she knits but in the video of her super fast knitting she holds the yarn in her left hand, i also found some info about irish knitting and lever knitting as being fast, i however think im to stuck in my ways to change style😅
It was so nice to hear more about your life. You have such a soothing voice.
Hi Inga, I'm really happy I've found your channel and watched many videos in a row. I love listening to you and know that you're from Norway, where I wish to go someday.
Currently knitting a kind of shawl with a hood with a very local and rustic Irish yarn (from their own sheep...) It does still smell :D I love that smell. Each time I go to Ireland I bring back home lots of wool and don't know what to do with it, I just fall in love with it I can't help myself, lol. So now I don't follow any tutorial I just knit what I have in mind. Greeting from Brittany, France :) xx
I do hope you get to visit here someday :D your shawl sounds dreamy, i love smelling yarn, the sheepy ones are the best;)
Hello, tip, you can buy two dog brushes, you know, the ones with the short metal dents. You can use them as carding brushes. I use them also and they work well. Succes
Lovely projects. Thanks for sharing. I especially loved the sit and knit part! ❤️
Im very glad😍❤️
Hi Inga,
Thank you for another wonderful podcast. While watching this episode I was sitting and knitting on a sweater for my daughter. It is the Bohéme sweater by Randi Hjelm. I am using Briggs and Little Regal (a nice rustic yarn) in the Forest Brown colourway. I have just attached the sleeves (as the episode was coming to a close - perfect timing!) and now my daughter has to make a final decision about the shade of brown she wants for the colourwork yoke.
So fun to sit and knit with you. I’m working on the final clue for the Stephen West mkal using Holst Supersoft. The rows are extra long now, but I’m thinking I’ll be finished before my birthday this weekend. Which means a birthday cast-on for me! Oh and I rewatch Harry Potter, The Hobbit & LOTR every year. Harry Potter during advent, The Hobbit (extended editions of course!) during “betwixtmas” - the week between xmas and new year, and the LOTR during the first week of the new year - also extended editions. It’s my annual ritual. Just love those movies - they make me so happy.
I like your term betwixtmas😁 yey bithdat cast on! I hope it gives you the same fuzzy feelings as our beloved movies does❤️ happy birthday in advance😘
You are a joy! So glad I found you- went back and watched your previous podcasts! I am also in the medical field and knitting/crocheting have been very therapeutic during these difficult times. Looking forward to more of your podcasts❤️
Love to knit along. I discovered your podcast last week and am enjoying each episode. The number of WIPs you whip through is impressive. Am currently working on a sweater for my granddaughter for the holidays. From Canada.
Good evening Inga. Really loved the sit & knit. I originally learned English-style & made the switch to Continental and found it quicker. It'll be interesting to start again after 3 years of crochet. I loved hearing about how school encouraged crafts. UK don't invest so much in it nowadays so it's good there's a large community of educators to pass down yarn crafts. Have a good weekend. Love from London 🧶
I love all your tips about knitting and blocking. Keep up the good work!
Glad i found your sweet little podcast. Currently I'm working on some Christmas socks for my teen daughter. Her 15th birthday was last week and we dyed yarn together that afternoon and I said I would make her socks with the yarn she dyed. So I'm trying very hard in my free time to finish them on or before December 1st so she could wear them all month leading up to Christmas. I LOVED your cowl and the fact that it stands up. I see so many cowls that droop down and that's a feature I dislike in most cowls. I prefer the look of yours so you can see the design and it keeps your neck warm. Off to another vlog of yours as I see you just uploaded another one a few days ago and it is recommend to me.
Hi Inga, love your podcast, I'm your new subscriber from Lithuania. Just binge watched all your episodes. Love your section of knitting together, please do it more. I'm curently finishing my Arrowhead Cardigan, already cut the steak, only sleaves and colar are left. I'm knitting it from a very rustic Lithuanian wool, it doesn't even have a name or lable, they just sell it from a local mill. Can't wait to see how it's going to look when it's finished and blocked. Since this wool is quite thick, I imagine it will be more like an outside jacket for nice long golden autumn walks in the crunchy leaves...
Thank you for this lovely time, looking forward to your next episode 😊
I've watched quite a few of your videos - I so enjoy them. This is the first time that I've seen your dog or your knitted cocker. I have two cocker spaniels, I love them. They are great.
hi, happy to listen to your episode. I'm Italian but working and living in Munich. I'm a knitter for passion... at the moment I'm knitting the "turtle dove" in white cashmere and white alpaca. in parallel, I'm also crochetting a blanket "the queen cal"
from Tinna Crochet... :-)
You make such gorgeous things! I love your earth-toned crochet blanket so much!!!! 😍😍
Thank you😘❤️
Thank you for sharing a bit of your life with us.....I love that you can have a passion for knitting while being a family physician too. I finished my Vertices except for blocking. While I have many many (too many) WIPS, I am presently going back and forth between a hat (Jodi Brown of Grocery Girls podcast pattern) and Caitlin Hunter’s “Ingalls” sweater pattern using Knit Picks city tweed DK yarn.....almost to ribbing on body. Get some rest Inga and happy knitting until your next podcast💞
Love your videos! I’m busy knitting the Ursus Sweater by thisbirdknits... it’s my first colour work and I’m a beginner knitter. I live in the beautiful seaside village of Kommetjie, Cape Town,South Africa. So glad you have visited our country. Stay safe and you are so inspiring, thank you.
I just started to watch your podcasts (I'm watching from the 1st episode), well I just started to watch knitting potcasts - as in Poland it is not so popular - so I even didn't know about this kind of "movies". And I have to write that this is one of my favorits :). Thank you for inspirations :). I learned how to knit from YT moovie (first was cable sweater- too small ;) ), but my grandfather aunt showed me how to crochet long, long time ago. I'm waiting to see ready baloon sweater that you are doing in this episode, because I would like to make it too. Have a great day
Lovely Manou sweater! I should pick up mine and finish it! I just wanted to mention, I make an exception for Holst supersoft yarn and block it in warm water, to really dissolve the spinning oils. It makes a difference compared to lukewarm water. Then I go to a cooler bath.
I have looked all over for this particular Seterdal rose. what I like so much is all the curly cues in he rose. I make these kinds of hearts in my jewelry.. Thanks for getting back to me about the pattern.
You make jewelery😍 thats amazing!
Hi Inga, thank you for the lovely podcast, I really enjoyed sitting knitting with you, so relaxing and tranquil during these mad times we’re all living in!
I’m knitting a Skogafjall sweater for my hubby with plotulopi, really lovely knit. We really enjoyed watching Alone and are watching Breaking Bad...again!
Hi Inga, I loved knitting along with you, and I noticed that we're both working on sleeves at the same time! My current project is a Flax Light sweater for my husband in a petrol-slate-blue colorway on the Tern base by Quince and Co. It's not a rustic wool at all, but it has a gorgeous stitch definition and knits up beautifully. My other project is a Birds of a Feather Shawl (knitting along while watching Episode 5!), and it's soft, squishy and silky, and I can't stop knitting on it!
I hope you keep that segment to your podcast! I can't attend any sort of in-person knitting group right now, and I'm usually working when my local yarn shop has a virtual sit and stitch. It's lovely being part of a global community of knitters!
I have to admit - I was a little mesmerized and a little terrified of your candle! Your hair and your Toft spaniel looked like they got awfully close to the flame, and I was really hoping that nothing would catch fire!
Peace, Elizabeth

I have been knitting the Lake Reed hat from Ravelry while watching your podcast. I love your knit-with-me-section and the footage from the hike. So beautiful! My first semester abroad was in Oslo in 2010, and we had that amazing hiking trip to Fjærland near Sogndal. I can remember it as it was yesterday, the views were absolutely breathtaking! Have a great week!
Thank you❤️Fjærland is stunning, i planned to go back there this summer but didnt get the chance
Very happy to have found your podcast Inga! Loved the knit for a bit segment and heating more about your background. Your knitting is very inspiring. I happily watched this episode while knitting on my hap shawl (7 more rounds and I will be casting off!). I look forward to future episodes, thank you.
