39:09 “Don’t knit ugly things.” Best new years advice. I just frogged an entire scarf before I started watching this episode. You made me feel better about it. ❤
Hi Sarah, love your festive jumper. Some suggestions for those words that alluded you.... could look up 'early riser', nail file and emery board, parrot (hard T sound). I'm not a multi-colour type of person, but I do like your work cushion, (one side in particular). Thanks 😊
Welcome back, Sarah! I have missed you. I hope you had wonderful holidays. Instead of being lonely and sad, I watch your older episodes. It makes me happy. I love to knit while I’m watching your videos. The socks that you hate did still bring you joy, even if it was while you were cutting them up. Lol. I think that part of the pattern was supposed to be peppermint like candy canes. It was a FAIL. Sorry to the dyer.
Wishing You Many ❤ Jumping Moments in 2024😊. I follow FB gardening sites too. A woman on a site decided to paint pictures of flowers since she can’t gardn because of the winter. So I decided to knit The Secret Garden sweater by Elenor Mortensen. So I have my own little garden for the winter. May try to do a “gardening pattern “ each winter to help with the perspective 😊
I think the red and white in those Christmas socks look like peppermint candy canes. It's a very typical American Christmas candy. (Just google it to see a picture of a candy cane.) Many Americans even hang them on their Christmas tree. So I think it's a very Christmas looking color/pattern to most Americans. I moved to America as a child from Germany. I had never seen candy canes until I moved here. Probably by now they are available everywhere. But the image of them is definitely a Christmas image. I'm sure that's what the yarn company was thinking. But I love your idea of not knitting anything you think is ugly! I'm all for that. I had the same problem with one of my bamboo needle tips . Using a nail file worked fine for me because the splinter was further down on the needle. Not near the tip. I'm now inspired to rip out a whole shawl I knit. It' s just ugly on me - just doesn't fit to me at all. I also thought about gifting it to someone, but like you I can't give away something I think is ugly! Happy New Year to you!
I just returned from a trip to the Netherlands. We spent our time in Friesland visiting Friesian horse breeders although I did get to visit several yarn shops in Leeuwarden to bring home souvenirs. You live in a very beautiful country that is incredibly free from litter on the roads and streets. Also the absence of homeless people is commendable. The food was delicious everywhere we stopped. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit there.
The festive sweater ia really beautiful, I am inspired to get the pattern and try to knit the different motifs. That sock yarn for Christmas socks has caused many people lots of pain! I was watching another podcast and the knitter had huge problems with the patterned part as well. And it is an ugly colour combination! It worked really well when you cut out those parts and added the brown! It felt amazing to see you cut the "ugly" sock 👏🏽👏🏽 Happy New Year!!
Happy you're back Sarah, I cannot sleep in either but mostly because of my cat Izrael who gets either lonely or hungry in the middle of the night lolz and I have a nearly 60yo bladder 😅 Just want to thank you for your beautiful makes that inspired me to embrace 2×2 Rib Knitting since summer 2023yr Leggings are my favorite thing to knit right now and looking forward to wearing them with dresses and oversized boyfriend Oxford cotton shirts 🙌 Have a super blessed week 🙏 ✨
Watching you while I knit up a pair of leg warmers for my granddaughter inspired by your redo of your brown ones you showed in progress in December. Your hinterland dress looks great and your winter sweater is gorgeous and looks perfect on you.
I hope you had a nice holiday with your family. I'm with you...I have scrapped many projects I didn't like. I LOVE your sweater! Well...I just love everything you do!!❤
You can ‘file’ your nails 😊 with a nail file, or it is sometimes called an emery board because of what it is covered with. Also, I wonder if the oily balls are like our doughnuts? Are they sweet? If so, then I believe that may be the same. We do have holes in the middle so the dough cooks more evenly. If they are not sweet, they may be more like what we call bagels. I would love to try one!! Parrot! 🦜 yes!! I love how wonderful your vocabulary is!! And I totally understand your thoughts about processed or treated wool, like superwash, vs. non-treated. It’s like when wool doesn’t smell sheepy I find I don’t really care for it!! I thought I was just weird 😂 Thanks for a wonderful video!
My Oma always made Olebolla (I don’t know how to write it) for new year, and special bread with almond paste for christmas. I do miss her and her cooking.
What a pleasant surprise to have you back today. I have missed your podcasts so much. Your sweater is fantastic and I love the color. I’m also impressed with your Hinterland dress. You are such a joy to watch and always make me feel good all over - heart-jumping ❤. I just knit my first pair of socks and I NEVER thought I could do it but now I absolutely LOVE it. I have now knit 3 pairs. Plus I love wearing them!!!
Happy New Year! I was certainly telling you it's a nail file in English ( I was) --so close in sounds! 😂(I always talk back to the screen; it's just how it is). You could always use that filed needle tip on the left for knitting in the round and it won't matter if the size or shape is different (of course as long as you remember to do that 😉) but you probably know that already. Love the festive makes and being comfortable to stop working on something you don't like (and rip it out). It's disappointing to not like it, but that feeling passes much faster than continuing to be unhappy and knitting on it.
When I was young, I had a friend whose family had been from Holland. I had to the pleasure of enjoying her dad’s Oliebollen. Thank you for reminding me of the special memory! Happy New Year!
Hello, Happy New Year and welcome back. My heart jumped when I saw your episode on my UA-cam feed this morning. 👏💞 We use a nail file (rhymes with 'smile') to file or shape our nails. And, like you, I too like to use a cushion behind my back for support when knitting. It is good for my posture.
Happy New Year! I love your creative energy, your laughter and the lessons you share. Every time you laugh, I do too. Don’t knit ugly things is another wonderful takeaway. Enjoy your January!
Happy New Year Sarah, it was so lovely to hear your dutchy English this morning, I really missed you. That's wonderful news about the YT Friday podcast. I would love to join you !
Happy New Year Sarah! Your podcast brought back beautiful memories of dear Dutch friends from long ago who always made yummy Oiliebollen for New Year, whilst camping on our summer holidays at the beach in far North Queensland, Australia. Love your festive pullover.
Happy New Year to you and your family Sarah. It was great to have you back. I’ve signed up for your Heartjumping Fridays channel and am very much looking forward to it. ❤
Happy New Year Sarah 😊. I know what you mean about the fit of jumpers with the high neckline. I'm having the same feeling just now knitting Rebecca Clow's Alder sweater. It's beautiful, but I'm not sure I'll find it comfy enough to wear often. There's a lot of heavy fabric across the chest. Also, I hope your friend perseveres with the sock! I recently found an old notebook I was using when I was knitting my first sock, and that page was like AAAAARRRRGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! 😂 I'd forgotten that I ever found it so difficult - now socks are my easy TV knitting!
Welcome back and Happy New Year to you and yours! 🎉 In Scotland, the last day of the old year is called Hogmanay, and traditionally we used to eat a steak pie supper, and eat shortbread biscuits and black bun (a fruit cake surrounded by pastry), and a lot of drinking to bring in the New Year. Not many people do that nowadays. They still do the drinking though! 🥃😅 🤎🤎🤎
Happy New Year, Sarah! I notice your knits hanging up in the start of the episode. Does that stretch out the knitwear? Do you have special hangers? Wishing you a wonderful 2024!
Happy New Year! I love that you’re only making things that bring you joy. I hope your community grows to amazing heights. Happy Knitting/ Crocheting 💚🧶💚
Welcome back, Sarah! Did you finish your husband’s cardigan? I was so hoping to see it! How proud you must be with one daughter crocheting and the other (I assume) knitting a sweater! How is you sweet dog doing? Happy New Year! 🌸
I am left handed and a continental knitter; I also have trouble teaching someone to knit. I stood behind my niece and put my arms under hers and held the needles so she could see and that worked out really well. I also like to learn knitting on my own because I can be easily distracted 🤔🤷♀️🙇♀️ Really enjoyed your new year podcast.❤❤
Happy new year Sarah! 🤍 I laughed at your reaction to the millenweit sock yarn because i was so confused too about that section. Each time i got a different pattern. I made it for my daughter and she liked it 😅 so all is good. I hope the other ball i got is a bit better.
I love oliebollen. I miss my dad making them ever New Years/Old Years Eve. Uitslapen is another one of those words that in English is back sleeping in. Ha ha English can be so strange.
Hi Sarah, I’ve been enjoying your videos since my sister in Texas, USA told me about you. That’s a funny statement that my sister in Texas is telling me about a Dutch Vlogger and I live the Netherlands and didn’t hear of you. I love your style of your videos. I do have a question. I have seen two videos where you speak about your Hinterland dresses. I had to look that up as I wasn’t sure what type of dress that was and then I watched this video and you talked more about it. Maybe at the end you will give the information I’m asking for but if you don’t I would like to know where you got your pattern from. I also love that style of dress but haven’t seen any already made dresses in the stores. I don’t like trying on clothes in the stores during the winter and I also just don’t really do much shopping for clothes. I am wearing a sweater right now that I brought with me 25 years ago when I moved here. I look forward to your new videos and will continue watching your older ones.
Hi Sarah, I don’t know if anyone has already told this. I think unless you’ve lived in the Netherlands, you won’t have a clue what olie bollen are. I’ve heard so many translating it exactly as you did and then saying no that doesn’t mean anything that makes sense. I actually just looked it up on Google and they say, deep fried doughnut balls. That is perhaps the best translation you’ll find. We don’t really have anything like olie bollen in the US.
39:09 “Don’t knit ugly things.” Best new years advice. I just frogged an entire scarf before I started watching this episode. You made me feel better about it. ❤
Lovely to see your new podcast. Adore your festive sweater. The word you are looking for is ‘nail file’. I know English is such a weird language
Hi Sarah, I saw you for the first time today and I like your style of podcast :-) Greetings from southern Germany, Ellen
Hi Sarah, love your festive jumper. Some suggestions for those words that alluded you.... could look up 'early riser', nail file and emery board, parrot (hard T sound). I'm not a multi-colour type of person, but I do like your work cushion, (one side in particular). Thanks 😊
Thank you very much it’s a very good idea and perfect for leftovers yarns
Don’t knit ugly knits is now my 2024 motto 😂❤

So nice to see you again, Sarah. Your festive pullover is beautiful.
Interesting vid well done for being so enthusiastic about home made wool items we men folk also enjoy - must get my wife to knit me some long socks!

Happy New Year Sarah! Your podcast brought back beautiful memories of dear Dutch friends from long ago who always made yummy Oiliebollen for New Year, whilst camping on our summer holidays at the beach in far North Queensland, Australia. Love your festive pullover.
They sounded a bit like doughnut holes, small little spheres of fried dough served sugary.
Happy New Year to you and your family Sarah. It was great to have you back. I’ve signed up for your Heartjumping Fridays channel and am very much looking forward to it. ❤
Look at the Bean & Olive sweater by Andrea Mowry! Adorable and comes in child and adult sizes. Very heart-jumping.
Happy New Year Sarah 😊. I know what you mean about the fit of jumpers with the high neckline. I'm having the same feeling just now knitting Rebecca Clow's Alder sweater.

Beautiful sweater!

If you sleep late in English we say you “sleep in.” Why knows why! 😂😂😂. Also Nail-file.
I try to get the membership. But only get erro and cant get true. I try later again

Is there a link for the Heart Jumping Fridays Subscription?
It’s in the show notes 😁
