You are wonderful to help your Ukrainian friends on the weekend and I can imagine how attached you have become to these families. Great to hear that your Aunt is safe, it takes a lot of the stress away worrying about her. You take care of yourself. 🥰
Dear Jana, you are such a wonderful human being. I’m so happy that your relative got out. Thank you for this episode.❤️❤️❤️
In America, we had a very kind man named "Mr. Rogers" who was a children's television program host. He said that in times of disaster, we should "look for the helpers" because they help us to remain hopeful by showing us that there is good in the world. You, Jana, are a "helper"! God Bless you! :-)

Lovely to see dearest Jana at last finished the minecraft crochet blanket just to back with fleece
Thank you for sharing all this information! I see it's difficult for you but if tears come, that's fine. We are human and this is all heartwrenching. Happy to hear auntie is safe. As tough as this is I think of all the friendships you have made and the bond you will have forever with your Ukrainian families😍. Hang in there, sisu required!! Hugs to you and yours💖
Thank you so much for sharing and all you do. So good to hear your aunt is safe. Thank you for the list! Praying for Ukraine, and for you, your family and loved ones. 🙏💕🙏🙏🙏
So great to hear from you Jana, thank you for everything you do to help in these hard times. Will definitely be looking into some ukranian designers.
Thank You for caring and sharing 💖 You are a wonderful human being! 😌🌻
Thank you for your latest episode and highlighting the plight of Ukrainian refugees so eloquently. I’m glad your Aunt is safe now.
Thank you Jana for all you are doing for "your Ukranian families" that are safely in your little town and are lucky enough to have you as their SPECIAL friend. I know they love and appreciate you as much as we all do. Finally, some good news for your family knowing your Aunt iis now safe. I pray that you will hear from some of your other friends that have not been as fortunate to leave Ukraine. Leaving ones home like this is devastation that should not be happening in our world. Having to leave your life behind like this is so heartbreaking, but life is precious and they are such wonderful people that good has to prevail over such evil. Also, thank you for sharing these special designer so we can also help support them. Have a blessed weekend dear Jana and stay safe and well.
Bless you for all your love n help you give to the Ukraine families
Thank you for this beautiful episode! ❤️
Such a great idea, and it is still very much relevant. Will double check myself whether I follow and support the people you mentioned and will share links with my friends. I am so proud of people of my country and yours, of all the friendly neiboughring countries - together we are doing some great job, bit by bit. Be it buying a design, a cake recipe, fundraising a Bayraktar or accepting a family to your spare room ❤
Slava Ukraini and happy knitting! 🇱🇹🇺🇦
I purchased an ebook with 3 patterns from Irina Dmitrieva. Thank you for helping those in need.
Thank you for doing this. I will definitely check out these designers. I am so glad that your aunt is safe. Such a relief for you.
Thank you for giving us a way to support the Ukrainian people.
Thank you so much for posting your video. My heart broke for you watching your last episode. I'm so happy to hear your aunt is safe!! Such fantastic news!! You and your family are in my heart and in my prayers. Stay safe!! 💙💛🇺🇦
Dear Jana, such a moving episode and thank you for taking the time to list some of the Ukrainian designers. I will definitely be taking a look at their designs to buy. It must be a great relief to you and your family, to have your Aunty in a safe place now. This war is so awful and unjust ( all wars are). As you say, good will overcome evil and this pointless war will end. Best wishes to you and your family from the U.K.
Such good work you are doing, Jana!
Sending love ❤️ to you and yours, dear Janna xx
I am so pleased that your auntie is safe now. Thank you for sharing the talents of so many Ukrainian knit designers.
Tetyana Skobalo is a Ukraine designer. I've just purchased a beautiful pattern from her. It's a lovely girls cardigan called Sunny Cardigan for child.
She has some wonderful patterns for sale. On checking her details , she has 3 daughters and both her and husband have lost their jobs, and I guess a lot more as well.
Thank you for highlighting Ukraine designers on your channel today. My purchase isn't going to change the world for Tetyana and her family but it's my small contribution. My thoughts are with the wonderful Ukraine people.
Good to see you today! So glad to hear your Aunt is safe! God bless you for your efforts and generosity!
Praying for the war to end!
Thank you for sharing the designers!
You are an amazing woman I wish I could give you a big hug xxx
Love your podcast. Thank you for sharing these amazing designers. I found a beautiful cable sweater pattern that I just had to have. Best part I already had the yarn and was looking for the right pattern. Think it was fate. Lol. I picked the Voyage pattern by Liudmyla Babintseva. Absolutely love it. I really enjoy your podcasts and always look forward to the next one. Take care and keep knitting. Hugs 🤗
Thank you for sharing about this genocide and for all you are doing for the families who have arrived In your beautiful country. I am studying the designers and will purchase xx
Thank you for your show ❤️ from here in Connecticut northeastern United States
Thank you for putting this episode out with the Ukrainian designers. I’m really happy for your Aunt and for your family to get some relief. I know there are so many stories to be told; and I hope the Ukrainians who are still with us, are able to share what feats it is taking to triumph over tyranny! I can’t wait for them to stand tall and proud with victory. 💙 💛 🇺🇦
Thank you!👍 I will buy some of this lovely patterns! Have a nice time!😊👍
You are the “Good” that is winning. ❤️
Kettu Knits, I wish that I could do something more for the Ukrainian people, but with these resources I can at least buy from them directly. I love that you are brave and show your love of people. I don’t see that enough. I see a lot of people who love stuff, but few who love people unconditionally. Should you need anything I would like to extend that kindness to you .💗
Hi. I just subscribed to your You Tube channel. You are a lovely, charming lady. I would like to be your friend if I lived close to you in Finland. You are a great knitter and “crocheter.” I started knitting and crocheting again after years of not doing it. I am 75 years old, born in Israel and moving to America with my parents at the age of 14. I am a Christian lady and I live close to my daughter and three grandchildren in Raleigh, NC. I like your square blankets that you knit. I like knitting more than crocheting. I have made a crochet ripple blanket for my daughter, one for my granddaughter and I just finished knitting a lap blanket for my older granddaughter. I have a beautiful simple pattern that I learned from You Tube that I am starting now for a lap blanket for my grandson. I like to knit all day between chores in my house. It is so relaxing, and it feels great to create items. Take Care.😊
Thank you Jana for this. Definitely will check out these talented designers. 💛💙
Such a lovely episode, and lots of research for us to do on Ravelry now. You put those designers' work together so well, and it was lovely hearing you talk about them. So relieved your aunt is safely out of Ukraine. Going to donate to your Kofi account again, by way of thanks to you for podcasting and so you have a little more to spend on your refugees. XX
Thank you for this podcast! I will definitely buy a few patterns and support these designers. You are such a kind and generous person. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for this timely podcast. You are amazing, hugs. Dh was easily persuaded to buy me the Meow meow hat, Collaboration shawl and Winter Angel! Thanks for the suggestion.
Thankyou so much for putting this together
It made me smile to see you are better. Feeling that you are doing something useful. I don't know why we can't let people live their lives. It's hard enough. I bought 3 patterns so far from your list of designers. Bless you.🙏🧶
So lovely to see you again- I am in awe of all you do. Thanks for sharing the list of Ukrainian designers- I have ordered from some already but will check these out. You are a wonderful person 💕💕
Thank you Jana for this episode and for all the important work you do for the Ukrainian refugees in your town. I think Teti Lusak is an Ukrainian knit designer living in the Netherlands.
Thank you for sharing! I will go patterns shopping now 🙏💝
Wonderful!
I’m so happy to hear that your aunt made it out of the country. That must be a huge relief.
I have swatched for the Slava Ukraini Sweater which I will knit in charcoal and pink.
Thank you for highlighting some of the designers today. ❤️
Take care Jana, I’m thinking of you often.
Thank you for making this episode. I am off to get me some crochet coaster patterns now... 😘
Much love Jana ❤
You don't have to worry about being upbeat with us; this is your reality now and we understand. Thank you for taking care of all the people with such kindness!
That was a very hard episode to do!❤️ One crochet Ukranian designer that I admire is Elena Bojkova and her user name is Lenamasterica. Her crocheted doily designs are exquistite and very well written in the English translation!
Wow, she has some amazing doilies. Thanks!
yes!! I‘m a big fan of hers! I have crocheted many of her doilies. And her directions in english are top notch!! Haven‘t ever found any mistakes in any of her doily patterns!
Good job in a situation that is so stressful. Thankful that you are a link to these displaced suffering people. Do rest yourself on Sunday and allow your focus and your joy to be on your own precious family. God bless.
Thank you so much for all the information…I’m going to go pattern shopping now!😊
good will win. bless you for your generosity and caring. slava ukraini!
So good to hear from you. Once you disappeared from your normal schedule I kept looking for your videos. So relieved to see you again. Your kindness and generosity is an inspiration. I’m a knitter and weaver from Tucson, Arizona. Knitting is such a comfort in stressful times. So happy your Aunt is safe.
So good to see you.
Love from Denmark to you.
Thank you so much for this video! I will be checking out all of these designers!
Bless you! ❤🙏
I will be happy to support the Ukrainian knit and crochet designers that you mention today. Thank you for help all of us to help them! Take care of yourself. I am so glad to hear that your aunt is safe now. Always peace and always love -- your friend in Oregon.
Thanks. Passing this list of designers on to MY OTHER KNITTING FRIENDS. THIS IS A WONDERFUL WAY TO SUPPORT THESE VICTIMS OF WAR. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU ARE DOING. Blessings to you and yours. 🙏🏼4🇺🇦
Thank you for your helpful episode. So pleased you have had good news. It is lovely to hear about the families you are helping they will be so grateful to you & your country. Hoping the news get better. Best wishes to you, your family & all of the Ukraine 🇺🇦
Jana, thank you for all you are doing…i just bought the Slava Ukraini pattern and will buy more amigurumi patterns from Ukranian desiners!
May God richly bless your sweet self. You are a kind, loving, and giving woman. Thank you for all you are doing.
Bought leafy for ladies..what a great way to support..
Thank you! ❤️
Thank you that was really informative and helpful xx
Sharing the outdoor shots are a great way to start and end the episode and I enjoyed them.
Thank you for identifying and sharing the Ukrainian designers and their patterns. You looked so much more rested in this episode and I know that a big part of it probably the fact that your adopted families are getting settled in. Congratulations on the news of your aunt's evacuation to Georgia. Have a wonderful and restful weekend, my Darling. You have brightened my weekend.
Thank you for this wonderful, heart-warming episode! I have been trying to buy from Ukrainian designers (in addition to finding other ways to contribute), but I wasn't too sure which designers to support. Your sharing these names and showing some of their designs is so very helpful! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thank you 💞
I am so delighted that your aunt is safe and resting. Thankyou for all the designer insight I've been searching and already found a few you mentioned, but there are some amazing designers I a looking forward to checking out. Those gnome's are so adorable. Good to see you smile even though things are still tough, it makes my heart smile to hear of families settling and receiving lots of love are support. You are doing an amazing job. Take care 🌻💛💙
Janna, I am so happy that your auntie is safe. You made me tear up with that story. Bless her and your whole family. I think of you daily. 💙💛💙💛
It is such a dreadful situation in Ukraine, when the truth comes out many Russians will feel great shame about what was one in their name. I am glad that you are helping these people in their hour of great need and I pray for peace in Ukraine. X
Bless You !!!!
And so very happy that your Aunt is safe!!
Thank you for such an important and beautiful episode. Such wonderful Ukrainian designers, I will and have been supporting. Look after yourself and sending love from Melbourne Australia x
Thank you for your wonderful support of those caught up in this very difficult situation. I have heard that the worst may be over by mid May regarding the war. Then negotiation stage and I hope this is true. Grand Jury court case to commence in Canada for medical crimes against humanity, Nuremburg 2 soon. Much to know about our global situation. Some of my relatives have been damaged badly from the toxic jabs that have been forced upon our people. I brace for more. Truth always wins but we pay a high price. Stay strong and in unity. ❤ from Australia
