    When I started knitting, I was on the lookout for some inspiration and came across Kika’s channel. And that was exactly what I needed - a person so much in love with what she’s doing, full of buzz and enthusiasm. Love it! 🥰

    Kika, you don't know how much I love these vlogs!! It's also just so inspiring to see how knitting is so natural for you and I'm always amazed on how you free hand your knits, and then are able to create a pattern with it. I also love knitting while watching these vlogs!! 30 min vlogs are the best !!!

    Great advice for new knitters. I struggled to knit until I really examined how stitches are formed. Then I was able to develop a knitting method that worked best for me.

    Pleaseeeee please please make a pattern for the blue sweater you made up last summer. I absolutely adore it. It was one of my inspirations for learning how to knit. I am currently working on your ooh la la top and am loving it ❤

    Kika I loved this podcast! It had everything, travel to Finland, gorgeous scenery, knitting, a food blooper, and a movie! That shade of pink is perfect for your cardigan. I love it! Also your sisters sweater is beautiful too, the icy blue at the top is my favorite color. The cats are so adorable. Please keep including us, I love seeing what Finland looks like and knitting along. I'm ripping out over 6" on a cardigan, it's too long in the body. At least it's an easy fix. But 100% Alpaca is a bit clingy when you're trying to frog. Have a great weekend!

      To unravel easier, put your garment on an ice pack.

    Hi. I am impressed by your knowledge of knitting, and your beautiful items you knit. I like the wedding dress you knitted in such a short time before your wedding. It came out beautifully. You looked beautiful in your wedding dress. I have been knitting again after watching a podcast with the name Fruity Knitting. Your top in stripes with a darker color and white came out great. I knitted a blanket in garter stitch for my granddaughter in the colors of her University which she into a few days ago. She called me on Face Time in the evening she moved to her dorm and she showed it to me putting the blanket on her bed. I am happy that she likes it and will enjoy using it. Take Care. 😊

    Please do a pattern for this cardigan. It’s just what I’m looking for! It is beautiful. Thank you for sharing the beautiful Finnish countryside with us too. I’m in Australia so it’s very different from what I’m used to. Jumpers of any kind in summer is very different from what I’m used to! And I like the idea of being able to safely bask in your gentle sunshine for hours without burning to a crisp and always worrying about skin cancer.

  • @jmdes8

    Yes, the ties at the front remind me of the bed jackets my granny wore. Great to see you with your sister, knitting together. I never had a sister but my mother and I used to knit when I was in high school. She would knit the body, I'd knit the sleeves then she would assemble. It was such a great combination for the two of us. She passed away when I was completing my university degree many years ago but I still channel her when I am knitting, always thinking how much she'd love to have been alive since knitting is now a daily activity for me.

    Ohhhh I would love a pattern for the big blue oversized sweater! Since you uploaded the vlog in which you knitted it, I couldn’t stop thinking about it and have been searching for a pattern like that ever since! 🩷 It truly is the most perfect laidback summer sweater ☀️

    I started knitting two years ago since finding your videos. I bought your book which is so beautifully done. I am currently knitting the cinema sweater and have the Darling cardigan lined up and once that is done I also bought your Salty Days sweater to up my game in knitting! You are an absolute inspiration. I love all of your videos. Thank you!

    Thank you, Kika! Another lovely and informative vlog. I'm so glad you got to enjoy the pie after all! I love your new cardigan in the fluffy yarn. My sister and I are preparing fluffy alpaca yarn like that to make sweaters too. She is dyeing it for us. We love your podcasts and never miss one. I have your book too. Love the designs!

  • @ravenbelote1801
    @ravenbelote1801 Рік тому

    Your sweater came out beautifully. I just love it!
    I also love that you include your family at times in your videos,
    and also events you're involved in outside your knitting. So fun
    to watch. I'm glad you all still ate the pie! I would have too... 😄
    I think one tie on the sweater would look very nice. You can play with
    creating that style with different closures. You could always just knot
    the tie instead of making it a bow. That would be less cutesy, as you had
    mentioned. Great work! Enjoyed the video.

From your cozy apartment to wedding jitters to settling into your new home with Jukka (?). I'm so very grateful you motivated me to pick up the needles and make my first sweater. It's almost finished, thanks to all your tutorials which I go back to all the time 😁

    absolutely love the cardigan! the press stud were okay, bet it would look great with wooden buttons too, odd shaped
    haven't had a chance to purchase your book but i do want it as most of your garments are seamless & that's what i'm trying to teach myself, am on my 1st top down & it's a little wonky, would love if you did a tutorial on just a basic seamless sweater
    the poor pie, good thing you have clean floors lol
    i am glad you have kept going with your UA-cam channel, you're the best knitting video that's also totally enjoyable!
    just love it when you take us for small tours around your homes, this country one is adorable & deserves to be preserved for the next generations to come but don't stress trying to get things done, it looks like the country houses are shared, so just share the costs of the restorations, learn also to slow down, that's what country living is about, getting out of the rat race & slowing down to live off the land & what we make ourselves
    adore your cats, hope to see more of them; it's lovely seeing them in odd videos enjoying your company; have 2 rescues myself who just don't like each other & constantly fight, shame but it's been 5yrs now & they're still not friends
    the jumper your sister is making is also lovely, looks like it will be very warm too! does all your family knit or do handcrafts?
    looking forward to your next video, have a great week
    thanx for sharing

The movie was fab! Have a wonderful week.

    I love the vibe of your videos so so much! You look like you're glowing, Kika, I can really tell that you're doing well :)

    A pattern would be wonderful. I'm always looking for a cardigan!
