    Sanna, your knits are so beautiful! Could you perhaps do a ‘big’ video project where you teach how to knit one of your sweaters step by step? I’m learning how to knit and and know the basics but it would be so helpful to also see you do the whole project with some general explanations. 🙏😃

      Oh! I would love this too. Also, how you care for your sweaters, keep them from staining (I watched the snow washing and loved it), how often you wear your sweaters and how long they last in real life! You do such beautiful work!

      Ah, don't worry about mistakes you just learn from them. Im not a perfect knitter but I don't make too many anymore because I check all the rows as I go along, but I do not knit complicated things either. I would love to knit lace shawls, but tooo many mistakes, so I just knit cables now and little bits of lace patterns in my sweaters here and there, much easier to keep track of mistakes and progress. Wish you all the best, welcome to knitting life, it's fabulous!!!

    I was born in India: in childhood, I remember my mum used to knit a lot. She also had a stash of wool and in my childhood, me and my sister wore sweaters knitted by Mom, even our school sweaters. She also made sweaters, gloves and socks for dad, our grandparents and other family members: As far as I remember she learnt it from the group of women who lived in the same society since our dads worked in the engineering projects of the government, they made small settlements in remote areas where they can live with their family. Pretty much like a job of a armed force personals. My dad was not in the army, but in the engineering services for a Governmental organization building hydro electric dams So I spent my childhood in the mountains of Himalayas, which more or less has the vibes of Northern Finland I guess. Probably such passions come naturally to women living in such places:
    When I was 6, my dad passed away. Unfortunately, my mom had to throw away her passion projects and go to work to. Luckily since my dad was in Central Government and died on duty, my mom was able to get a good job in the same Government organization, not the same post as my dad of course, since she is not an engineer, and she didn't think twice to have it because she had to raise two children, me and my sister. We moved to a big city where my mom was born and raised.
    Now she is very old, unable to do these things, but hopefully she would enjoy this video. . She doesn't understand English very well, but I will surely share this video with her. It brought back nostalgia to me. Thanks: 🙂🙂

And, WOOL is the best material for wearing , and knitting!!!

But for those of us who cannot do that kind of work. It is priceless. i think you would be amazed how much people would pay for a sweater like one of these. You ought to try it and see. Here in US we can get premaid tags to sew into garments with our names written on them to add a personal touch to the finished garment. Thanks for sharing this one. I thought it was really special!

Being born and raised on the Faroe Islands, which also has a great history of knitting, and more sheep than people, I learned to knit while in kindergarten. And now that fall is here I really miss the familiar cozyness of knitting while drinking a cup of tea :) Thank you for your lovely and inspirational video!

  • @FG-ie7cu

    This video is a work of art: all the lovely naturals (wool) and primitives (decor), and traditional handcrafting. I find it very soothing and will return to watch it repeatedly. Love the primitive decor, your sweet voice and soft smile. Softly-patterned sweaters, sweet life. Sweaters were nearly my religion as a teen; I left many of them behind (I must replace my reindeer one!). But I still find Irish and Scottish handknit pieces when we thrift, and I hang them on our walls as they have such character. And I think I will now knit wool, yes, for pillows, and maybe one sweater, as I have always longed to do. Thank you. I still have some vintage Lopi pattern books from my teen years and you have reawakened my passion for them. The blue patterned mittens are so lovely: they and your bear pillow caught my eye. The mittens are also from one of the books you mentioned? Blessings of peace to you . . .

    I too am an avid knitter. I can so relate to when you showed all your wool. I too have a collection, however, always seems to buy more for certain projects I have in mind. I have given away wool and then I end up acquiring more. I heard a fun saying about knitters. you can tell we love to knit, as we rip out a lot and then we just keep knitting. For projects where it works I put in a life line so if I do have to rip back I don't lose any stitches and only have to go back so far. It works well in the shawls I have made where they are made in sections. I also love the feel of wool against my skin. Thanks for the video I so enjoyed seeing all of your sweaters and a few I will look for the pattens you mention here. Happy knitting.

    Olet todella intohimoinen neuloja. Sain sulta vinkin ohjeesta Black Rose ja tein sellasen nyt keväällä. Minun värit ovat tummia, mutta ehkä teen vielä vaaleapohjaisen samalla ohjeella. Neulominen on ihanan rentouttavaa ja joskus pitää myös purkaa. Kärsivällisyys kuitenkin palkitaan, kun valmis työ on hyvä. Tuo lankavyyhden luominen kerälle oli aivan ihanan näköistä touhua ja toivottavasti moni sai inspiraatiota neulomiseen. Esi-äitimme ovat viisaita, kun ovat onnistuneet valmistamaan hyviä välineitä monenlaiseen tekemiseen ja kiitos kuuluu myös Esi-isillemme. Kiitos hyvästä videosta! T. Merja Rovaniemeltä 💗💗

    12:33 Definitely knitting teaches you a lot of lessons. Perseverance and patience. Knitting is a life long learning experience that will challenge you forever. It's worth every stitch, every mistake you have to undo and re-do, it's worth all the hours you'll invest in learning to work with different yarns, techniques and working different things out. It teaches you to better organize your thoughts I find, creating patterns and different ways to put them together and learning the history of knitting and all the different cultures that embrace this is mind blowing.

    Hello Sanna. I "found" you thanks to this video, I love what you have knitted, and you have re-ignited my love of knitting. I recently purchased a book called "Viking Knits" by Lasse L Matberg, which features the most beautiful knitted garments, that I know, you would simply just love, and I am looking forward to knitting the garments. Another designer you would like is a Finnish designer who now calls Australia home, and her name is Susann Kaartinen, who designs Finnish inspired knitted garments, again I am sure that you will love. Both of these designers can be found on Ravelry, however to get the patterns from the ''Viking Knits'' book, you will have to purchase it but it is well worth it. I have binged watched all of your videos too and love them, you are so inspiring. Love to Papau your beautiful little Shetland sheep dog and of course Rover! 🧶♥

Once I start it becomes its own challenge (mainly how to stop everything getting tangled 😅) and I comfort myself with how much better the end result will be if I take this time now. I live your sweaters - beautiful work!

    Thank you Sanna for making this episode! I've admired your many knits in your other videos and appreciated seeing your yarn cupboard and your new project. I've knitted with Tuku Wool but fingering weight. I'm sure I'd enjoy making a sweater with DK weight as well. The colors are so lovely! Hope spring has arrived for you by now!

    Hienon näköisiä neuleita :). Itsehän en siis neulo yhtään, osaan vain oikeaa ja nurjaa vai mitähän ne oli juuri ja juuri. Neulominen on kyllä tosi meditatiivinen harrastus, jonkun tuommoisen tarttisin käsille puuhattavaksi jotta pystyisin ajatella esimerkiksi kirjoitushommia. Tuntuu vaan että itsellä villa kutittaa ja sormet kuivuu (silloin kun sitä vähääkään kokeilee neulomista). Ehkä itselle siis virkkaus voisi olla parempi. Isot rispektit kaikille jotka neuloo ja tekee luomuksiaan!

    Omg why did I never think of having 20 different things started 😮 what a great idea! I’ve been only knitting on one thing, finishing it then going to the next. Time to try your method!

    Thank you so much for this knitting episode, Sanna 😊🧶 I was mending socks while watching it. I‘ve been putting that off for several years, but now I just need to do it. It‘s like unravelling your sweater, it‘s a bit boring and you would rather create something new. But sometimes it‘s just necessary, because after that, the piece will hold for many years 😊
    happy to see more of your knitwear, your sweaters are so beautiful and I love your colour scheme 😊

    Sanna, thank you for sharing your beautiful knits! The main reason I learned to knit was so I could make warm and beautiful sweaters for winter. Yours are truly inspiring!! I love woolly wool like lettlopi and will look into getting some Tukuwool. In the U.S. The Woolly Thistle carries this yarn. ❤

    Your knits are absolutely stunning!
    May I ask what sizes you usually chose for your sweaters to get that cozy oversized look?
    Also, is there a pattern for the sweater you are currently working on? It looks beautiful!
    Thank you for sharing your lovely creations with us.
    Much love from Germany ❤

    Such a lovely, inspiring video, thank you, Sanna! I love knitting and taught myself how to do Fairisle and Scandinavian Style colour-work a couple of years ago as well as cable-work. I don't use real wool, as I am both vegan and my skin is not coping with the feeling of wool, but I love the patterns. I made one of the Icelandic ones you showed (Afmaeli by Vedis Jonsdottir) a couple of times and several Norwegian hats and mittens. I love your natural and subtle colour choices. Lots of love from England xx

    Simply beautiful. I have a couple little projects I like to do, especially in the winter, that are soothing to the mind. Just difficult enough to keep my attention, yet easy enough to achieve without too much frustration. I would so love to knit myself a sweater though. I have skeins of 4ply merino wool, all different colours. I need to use!!
