This has definitely been the winter of the hot water bottle- I've made several already and I'm making another as a Hanukkah present for a friend while I watch you ☺️ The crazy energy prices means that everyone in the UK is looking for alternatives to keep warm this year, and it turns out that you can't beat the classics!
here its considered a thing only grandmas had but its time it got reintroduced to the market, its just so lovely
Your combination of Woolyknit's Loden Green and Drops Kid Silk is beautiful. Loden green is a beautiful color, but the shine from the silk amps it up.
Thank you so much, Inga, for your generosity in talking to us about your yarn journey! You'll certainly be spreading the joy with all your lovely yarny gifts this Christmas!
You are so welcome!
Your "Me Sweater" is gorgeous, I love the 5 rows to 10 idea, if you write that pattern up, you'll have plenty of people wanting it. lol
if only i knew grading , if i ever find someone who can tech edit and do the grading il make it :)
I’m sure you could do grading, but i don’t mind if it has only 1-2 sizes with lower price.
Thanks for all of the wonderful podcasts over this past year, I really enjoy listening to you talk about your knitting! Happy holidays to you
Love this episode. And your free-styling sweater is amazing. Thank You for including footage of your beautiful surroundings, I feel like I get a mini Norway trip when I watch. May you and your family have a blessed Holiday Season
Lovely visit! Thank you! I git excited to see the bags of yarn - made me imagine I bought them and were carrying them home! 🎄
I love your poscasts/episodes. It is always a treat to relax and knit while watching. So many goodies...the driving footage, taking us along to the store, showing signs and giving us time to read and learn. So thankful for this treat. I too should make a water bottle cover...used one since a kid for keeping warm, as an adult (cramping relief...learned that one from my grandma!) Happy knitting and stay warm. Thank you kindly for sharing your bit of the knit-universe. 😊
You know when you got knitting goddess status when you casually drop that you’re free styling a sweater and then reel off a full pattern! ❤❤ a great episode and seriously loving your tube socks and the new blanket for The Burrow! 😂😂
Hopefully it made sesnse so someone can join me haha
@@knittingtraditions it totally does even to a newbie garment knitter like me!! It’s coming out so cute too!! I’ll def have to take some notes and cast on.
Your freestyle sweater is sooo cute and I love the mock neck option!
Inga, thank you for your channel! I enjoy see your projects and seeing the lovely yarn. I love Norway. I’ve been there three times. My favorite place is the western fjords! I felt so at home with yarn shops everywhere.
Thanks for sharing your lovely projects. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and Happy, Healthy 2023.🎄🌟🙏🏻
Such a cosy podcast with so many projects and simply beautiful knits.
The pink socks are lovely. A sweater will look great in the same yarns in colourwork. Have a great Christmas Time and Celebration 🍾
Thank you for sharing how you make your "me" sweaters and other things! You inspire me to try and make my own. ✨
I love all your fuzzy socks, scrappy blanket, half and half and the lovely hot water bottle covers- lots of inspiration there. Your minis from Amy might make a beautiful vest- no fear of running out of the yarn. That yarn shop and museum was so interesting. Have a great holiday season. You will be making many people happy with your gift knits. This year it has been mainly Newfoundland mittens and a few socks that are being gifted from me. I am off to California to spend Christmas with one of my daughters and her sweet little family (babes are 2 and 4 years old). I will be happy to leave frozen Canada behind, although the snowstorms over the past week have made it a winter wonderland.
Hello Inga, your projects are just gorgeous ❤ I love the beautiful socks you made and also your improvised sweater, the colours are just exquisite. Have a very happy holiday season 😘
I’m so excited to knit a water bottles cover. What a fantastic gift. You are an inspiration
Thank you so much! Enjoy the waterbottle cover knitting :D
thank you for sharing with us
Takk for en fin episode. Elsker kalendrene dine.
Thank you for sharing all of your lovely yarny goodness! May you have a wonderful holiday season, filled with all that brings you joy! 🐑♥️🐑♥️🐑
merry christmas to you and yours
I love to listen to your peaceful voice during knitting :) Thank you for the beautiful music and the film at the end :)
You are so welcome!
Thank you for sharing so many helpful knitting ideas! I know it wasn’t in this episode, but I’ m grateful you mentioned keeping your downloaded patterns in Books! I do that now!
You are fearless! I love the detail you share about all your techniques, you are such an inspiration! Thank you for sharing your beautiful knits, and all the yarns! Love your podcast!
Thank you so much!
Tusen takk for masse inspirasjon i 2022. Gleder meg til å følge deg videre i 2023 🥰
Love all the project water bottle. And the lovely yarn shop I want to go there lol
Oh to keep the numbers on my wooden needles longer, I used some transparent nailpolish to protect the print! Ive done it one year ago on my needles, and even with daily use, I can still see the needle size!
That's a great idea!
Love all your projects and the free-style sweater is fabulous!
Thank you so much!
The yarn store looked fantastic!
I am watching this episode on Christmas Day - and loving all the wonderful things you are sharing with us. Thanks and Merry Christmas! ❤❤
Happy holidays!
Merry Christmas 🎄 have wonderful time! Those sample yarns are beautiful! X 🎄💜🎄
Everything beautiful I love a regular knitting, happy Christmas❤ love from creece 🇬🇷
Happy holiday season to you and all your loved ones !
I love the striped sweater you are creating. The stripes are perfectly placed and the turtle neck looks gorgeous. I can see why you want to sew it down though...
When I have a i-cord edge I use tfat for hiding my ends too, just run them through the tunnel you created.
Totally enjoyed your podcast. Love your cosy socks and all your other finished and WIPS knits. -29°C wow! I'm from Australia and that is freezing. Your choice to stay inside your cabin and knit all day is the perfect idea. Merry Christmas Inga hope you get some knitting time.
I have been eyeing up drops alaska recently in a sale and so it was really interesting listening to you describe what it is like to knit with.
Thanks for another great episode.
Ciao cara , bell video !
Great socks! With that blue and speckled white. I am going to get over my fear of toe up + after thought heel and I will learn the Icelandic bond off. Thank you for inspiring me.
Your Me Sweater is absolutely beautiful 🎄 thanks so much for the ride🍒❤️🎄
Thank you so much!
God Jul, Merry Christmas to you. 🤶🎅🌲🎁Så mye fint du strikker. 😊👍
Your projects are always beautiful dear Inga, but this time I could feel the warmth and touch the fluffiness. The striped jumper you are improvising is just lovely and totally something I'd love to wear.
Wishing you a lovely Christmas and end of the year.
Ivana ❤
Thank you so much Ivana💕 merry christmas to you and your family🎄
Everything just lovely have a great xmas
Огромное спасибо за видео. Чехлы на грелки просто класс.❤️❤️❤️
The bjørkraglan looks gorgeous!!! I love the way yours is working up!
Thanks so much! 😊
I would go crazy and max out all the credit cards just to buy all the yarns in those shops! So much yarn and so many beautiful colors! The hot water bottle covers are really nice. All the sweaters and things you are knitting are beautiful. Merry Christmas!
Så hyggelig å se noen andre fra skandinavia her 😍
Love all your knits. I have a hot water bottle cover coming soon. My feet freeze at night. 😂
Wonderful Podcast Inga....So Refreshing to Get Away From Christmas.....& Talk Yarnmas...Love All Your Projects Especially Your Cardigan The Green Colour is Gorgeous...I've Started pairing Silk Mohair with Wool for DK Socks, They Fly off the Needles
😍💚🤗
Hillesvag 😮. Thanks for sharing 🎄Wishing you & yours a warm and yarny Christmas 🎅
merry christmas to you and yours
When you talked about your getting ahead of yourself in the fields of gold pattern - I so felt it. I do exactly the same 🙈🙈
I love interesting stitch patterns but also tend to want to have some kind of repeat in it so that I can somewhat memories it
Exactly!!
Happy holiday season Inga
So much great knitting ! Thanks !
Thank you! 😊
Merry Christmas Inga! Love all yarns you use are amazing! Yes you are like me I just have hot water bottle which has fleece cover which is cosy! Love your freestyle sweater! I’m still knitting baby hats for Premature baby unit in Newcastle then maybe I should knit myself a sweater! Have fabulous Christmas 🎄 see you soon! Xx 💜🧶🎅🏻🎄💜
A water bottle cover done as colorwork using some of the Marie Wallin motifs would be beautiful.
Everything beautiful here!
Thank you! 😊
Thank you for this wonderful latest episode! I love your "me" sweater! Thank you for sharing the process of free-styling a raglan. I'm excited to try that, since you made it sound so straightforward. Your cardigan is gorgeous, and your blanket is beautiful too. I have been using the Old Norwegian cast on since you mentioned it last time, and just recently tried the Icelandic cast off (I need practice with it. It seems wonderful, but it didn't come out so good on my cowl project, and I ended up having to rip and re-do). I wish you a lovely holiday season, and a happy new year too! ❤
merry christmas to you and yours
I love the free style sweater ideas..I haven't tried knitting since surgery and busy doing gifts via crochet. But I feel a "me" moment and maybe instead of a sleeved rannaculas, or the leisure pants you knit(maybe some cashmere in stash)..that may be one of the first knits. You are an awesome daughter,as gifting to you Mom.Too much to say without writing a book. Happy Holidays to you,you family and all subscribers. Love to all!
Thank you so much
Thank you for your well wishes!
Yeah I was so bummed about knit crate, even that day after the email went out all the patterns weren't available, the website is just gone. It's sad. I love your Weasley blanket Soo much!! That pooling is fabulous
We just received an uncommon snow overnight; 9"/ 22cm. ( Island in the Salish Sea, N49°, border of USACanada, west coast) Your lovely long relaxed sharing is perfect to listen to and see as I knit and sew. I am making a clear , fiber reinforced tarp door for my porch to keep snow off. You made the task so enjoyable for me as I handle stiff plastic long pieces sewing on bands and velcro. I am inspired by your knitting and sweet gentle nature. I am on the sleeves of a cardigan, raglan, lace pattern, in Drops alpaca silk with two strands Drops silk mohair in a blue green Sea color; a dreamy oversized soft cocoon. I want to make a cardigan like you are wearing next and also something with the Drops Alaska if I can find it at a good price... and the water bottle cover!!!! >>Yes!! I will make several!!! Thanks! Wishing you kindness filled Yule time.
Congratulations on the pregnancy 🎉😊
Thank you!! 😊
Water bottle covers are showing up all over the place right now! I just saw Emma in Ireland showing off her colorwork one. I was inspired by your freestyle sweater. I will be knitting the Monday sweater by Petite Knit very soon, and now am considering adding some stripes to it. Your podcast is very relaxing, thank you!
Great idea!! I saw emmas and its already in my que and yarn ready for it😁
I love the heather pink sock and the explanation of the construction. I wish you demonstrated the process.
I made several hot water bottle covers and will be gifting them for Christmas. I live in Las Vegas so hopefully my family likes them. It’s been a cold Fall for Vegas. Happy Holidays
Happy holidays tou you and yours
Very good people, God bless 😢
Inga I love everything! The sweater your “making up” the “ME” is just gorgeous! I’m going to be knitting today as it’s colder here at my house than it’s been in a while. Thank you for another great podcast! You and your family have a great Christmas! And new year! I love your knitting stores. We just don’t have any shops that compare anywhere near me! Hugs, ClaudiaSJI 🎄🎁🎅🏼🎎🎃🎄🎁
merry christmas to you and yours
Thanks for another nice knitty episode, Inga!
I like that the Hillesvåg exhibition uses Swiss art (Albert Anker) to show knitting in bygone days... LOL To be fair, he did paint a lot of knitters ;)
If you can, get your hands on a French metal hot water bottle. They come in two shapes, oval and cylindrical, and they stay warm all night. You'd have to make your own knitted pattern, I think; I have two vintage ones and I wrap them in a towel.
P.S. "Grenouille" is pronounced "gre - nou - eeye" (in French).
Such a cosy podcast....
You have inspired me to make my 2 daughters and I matching hot water bottle covers of soft very brightly dyed natural yarn mixed jwith angora ( I love rabbit or goat angora- started after I knitted myself a hat I wore during chemo-softest thing I ever knit Maybe hot pink or neon green or dayglo orange . I like you tend to go for earthy tones, juniper green, agate, cinnamon, pumpkin, stone, oatmeal, bing cherries. I always have4-8 WIPs going at once. You can appreciate the “complicated” , projects where you have pay close attention) alternating with the “easy” ones with big swathes of Stockinette- I call it my tv or ipad knitting, and of course when designing my own patterns I have to take notes to write pattern or record pattern details. I really like top down as I dislike sewing parts that I must block first. Oh thanks for the recommendation of Twizzter- my 7 yr younger sister Laura (of NY, near Rhinebeck) and I bought ourselves each one. She is an avid knitter who knits while walking. I use an electric wheelchair and will find a way to hang it. I used to fly a lot for work pre-retirement and more than a few times had balls of yarn go rogue under several rows while on planes( so embarassing)Thanks for the heads up. The lady that replied to my email is looking for usa/canadian retailers so i asked in my ChiaoGoo Divas facebook group (6.5k knitters) so perhaps we will find one or 2 for her. I wait patiently for my Twizzter. My younger sister coming here to snowbird in February will get hers from me. Thank you Inga. I was an icu/ccu RN, in later years worked in medical sales for Baxter the IV maker. Please join ChiaoGoo Divas facebook group-you might win something.
Oh i hope you get you twizzter soon and that youl find a retailer for them because they are so lovely🥰 having many dofferent wips opens up the chance to knit in all different kinds of situations ergo more knitting time😁 i will def check it out!
Just finished a jumper using Drops Alaska whilst watching your video! It’s the Garnstudio Merry Stars. Just in time for Christmas. I’ve enjoyed joining you again - as always. Happy Christmas. 🎄🎁🧶
merry christmas to you and yours
Loving your cardigan!!! I adore it without the buttons band. Merry Christmas!!!! Loving the water bottle knits!!!! Lucky recipient!!!!!
Your copenhagen cardigan looks very nice and soft ... Like I need one right now! It has been cold in NYC but nothing like -20 C, just around zero bit below or above, but we have not yet got any snow 😞. I have not knit with any mohair because I don't think it gets as that cold here like to need it. But I am in love with your Cardi. I think I will have to give in to the fluff yarn. Merry Christmas and Happy Knitting
Your striped sweater looks great! I hope some day I can freestyle my own sweater! It’s nice that you share your love of knitting with your cousin! You could use the bright minis from Amy Palko for Easter socks! ❤God Jul, Inga🎄
Not a bad idea, thank you ! merry christmas to you and yours
Happy Christmas 🎄 Inga.
Happy holidays!
Yes! I just finished test knitting for Jessica McDonald - pattern My Fletching - in Beaverslide Dry Goods merino/mohair sock blend. This yarn is gorgeous in colorwork! After blocking the sweater has a mild halo. I don’t want to take it off.
Wondering what color in the Drops Kidsilk you used for the Copenhagen Cardigan? You are such an inspiration! Thank you for sharing all your beautiful projects this year!❤️
You are so welcome! in norwegian online stores they call it just dark green, cant find the nr but its the dark green one ;)
That metal is copper good taste young lady
Thanks!
No entiendo nada,pero encantan tus jerseis.
I love your podcasts. I have finally finished binging them. Can you tell us how your English is so good and why you see to have an American accent?
Grew up watching alot of american tv shows and movies, weny to an international english speaking program for highschool( IB) and i studied medschool in poland in english with alot of americans
How do you manage to get so much knitting done? D: I’m so jealous! My hands are absolutely exhausted since I’ve been cranking up the knitting during the colder months. Anyway, beautiful projects as usual and happy holidays! ~
i dont do much else besides knit and work:P and im lucky that my hands dont tire from it
Yea 😂 for sure ❤Winter of HOT WATER Bottles- 15:37
nice video
I was given Stripes by Veera Välimäki for Christmas! It's a beautiful book and I'd recommend it to anyone else into stripes :)
The detailed description of your sweater procedure was so interesting to me. I have only made ganseys (fisherman style but longer and definitely freestyle with no pattern) because they are roomy and are a nice sweater from the rustic wool from my sheep. I have wanted to knit raglan but worry about whether I will end up with just the opposite problem which I often have (sweaters and tops that go way up in the front compared to the back or are so tight across the bust that it takes over the look of the sweater.....I am not a big person but suffer with a large bust....I am always suspicious when I see a pattern made by a nice flatter chested person as to whether or not they get how it can be) . When you described putting the extra stitches in the back, that might be my solution a bit....instead put them in the front. I do not slouch at all.
Also, your English has improved to the point that you have a mostly undetectable accent. Pretty amazing. I was a speech therapist and am always tuned in to accents of any kind. I know more people here in northern MN that are US citizens of Norwegian heritage, who have much more of a brogue than you do and they were born here!
Thank you ! that is high praise as i have never lived in an english speaking country :D I think that putting more stitches to the fron would definetely be a modification that could help with a larger bust adjustment, let me know how it goes if you do :D
Hello Ingha(I hope spelling is correct) how are you? Ilike your episodes very much. My name is Naglaa . I am paediatrician (doctor) like you . I am knitter either. I am Canadian . Live in Ontario, Canada. Nice to meet you . Happy holidays 🌹🌹
Happy holidays🎄💕
How lovely for such a long episode. Thank you Inga. I have to say unfortunately the sound was not very good, maybe have the microphone nearer to you? It was heaven to see the wool in the shops. No wonder you have a big stash! Take care and warm hugs from the UK.
💖💖💖
The color in the flower pot is copper
Such a busy Lady you are, Inga! How do you fit so much knitting in? Have a lovely Christmas. 🎁🤩😘
Happy holidays! i do nothing else haha
❤
Hello Inga, I watched this episode in 2 pieces. I love your podcats a lot, especialy this one. Drops and Holst are my favorit yarns, due to their price and quality. In Holland they are easy to get for me, I'm chronicly ill due to neglected Lyme desease. I knit a lot with the Drops Alaska, I like it. But my "problem" with my knits is that in time they grow, what am I doing wrong. I seriously need help/advice, because I have still some 8 sweaters/cardigans to knit with it. Knitting keeps me relaxed, physical and mentally healthier. You help me by making these lovely, calming podcasts. Thank You, I wish You all best wishes for Your future. Bye Bye.
If its the alaska in particular that grows it might be because its so heavy gravity causes it to grow, not much to do about that, you could soak it and reblock the items back into shape and see if it helps
@@knittingtraditions Thank you, so much.
@@knittingtraditions I'm making this a Knitting Traditions eve, since you just gave me the reason. Can not wait, so late sleeping this night.
Love your videos, so glad to see your new acquisitions, do you shop in the U.S. at all? We have a hard time getting things from overseas, I was hoping you could tell me some of the shops you purchase from to get merino silk mohair? Also is the mohair itchy or does the silk calm that down, I totally agree about the silk and merino blends when spinning wool, less pulling but more substantial, love it all anyway! I've been thinking of making something in purple, blues, pinks and white silk, I am all about the eye candy and texture is everything, but its gotta be soft! It's been so fun watching, thank you for sharing!
I have only bought online from smaller makers from the us myself, alot of my loval yarn stores here sell silk mohair so i often get it that way, its very individual how people find silk mohair, i personally am not sensitive to mohair and find it softens up a garment alot🥰
The pink socks look so pretty up against your green sweater. ☺️
Beautiful awesome work i like it thanks for sharing 💞❤💜❤❤💜💜💝💛❤💛❤❤💛❤💛💖💞💖💞❤💞❤💞💖♥💖💖❤💟💞
How do you wash the socks when you used kid silk for them? I prefer superwash socks so that I can wash them low temperature in the washing machine, but adding kid silk sounds really nice.
I wash them in the machine on a wool program with wool soap or i can soak them with woolwash but im lazy and use the machine;)
I ordered fingering yarn from wooleyknits in the UK in order to knit the Purl Soho Triangle shawl do you double the yarn? THis yarn is very thin in comparision to other fingering yarn I have. Would appreciate your input before I go any further,. Swatched on a three needle(us) and now trying a US 2 THX Love your podcassts. You are a fabulous knitter.....
I have knit it single, it blooms alot with wash but even if you hold it double it should be light weight, if you hold it double you can do fewer stitches too
Hiya, thx for a lovely year of knits. Quick question about half and half - how do you do the cast on edge - do you do a provisional cast on and do an Icord to finish it? Or just have a cast on edge, thx. Oh and the cast off too?
Just do the cast on, i use the old norwegian cast on😁
@@knittingtraditions I ended up doing a provisional so will see how it goes 🤞
Happy Xmas Inka to you and your boyfriend. Those plnk/white socks are real eyecstchers and your feet will certsinly enjoy them !! Please, please Inka could you inform me the link for the Russe sock knit kit. I searched in van to find it and would just love to do them.
www.raumagarn.no/produkt/hefter/pt1016-russesokk-1 its norwegian but should be all charted so you basically just knit the chart and that gived you a sock
I love the look of the white in the socks, I’m just wondering - wouldn’t they get super dirty? 😅
maybe :P we shall see
There are free hot water bottle patterns that give the recipe based on measurements. I think what makes her pattern unique is the addition of the cable although I could be wrong.
Do you know what is different with her recipe?
its a pattern with the cables, at the end she includes how to create your own based on measurments so thats just a bonus to her pattern :) its well written and shes a lovely designer
