Finnish Knitting Stories - Episode 112: Helix Cardigan, Alpine Bloom, Salty Air Tee & Life Chat

I love when you knit and chat because I love watching you knit. Your needles move so quickly and you don’t even look at them!

Happy Anniversary! My husband and I celebrated our57th anniversary on the 16th of June. Sadly, he passed away a week later unexpectedly, but how lucky were we to get so many years! Be sure to take a rest after the yarn event. You don’t want to get sick again.

Have a lovely time with your mom your family and your knitting events. Thank you Jana for your time.

Lovely to see you again this week Jana! I love the watercolour effect of your low contrast colourwork. Your rack of samples in the footage of your last yarn festival looks like an absolute dream. Take care of yourself, and hope you get some rest soon.

How beautiful!!! Love love love this pink cardigan with sparkle thread!!! The color is so lovely!!

I’m glad I’m not the only one who regularly sets unreasonable and unrealistic goals for myself. I’m glad that you’re working hard but trying to be mindful to take care of yourself too. Both are important 💜

It’s just wonderful that she sounds are the same across cultures. Why didn’t we humans just create one language like the animals, that would have been so nice. Sounds like you had a good time at the lake, taking time out during the summer is wonderful.

Alpine bloom is gorgeous!! I really love the colors you chose! Have a fantastic day Jana!!!

Lovely to share my Sunday morning with you again. Peony is my favourite flower as well, my Dad had two bushes in front of our door, both pale pink and they always bloomed for my birthday, beginning of June. I love both of your summer tops, I think I might just get knitting for our coming summer. My beloved husband passed just before our 58th anniversary. Crochet and knitting have been a sanity saver. Bless you both, relax with your family when all the rush is over.❤from Oz

Please take care of yourself. You want to be able to enjoy the festival! Im in America and can’t come to it but I know if I could I would very much enjoy sitting and knitting with you 😊

Lovely Helix cardigan. Gorgeous colour.

Good luck with your festival vending! Lovely cardigan! Happy Midsummer!

Hi Jana! How do you manage all your jobs? Please take care of your your lovely self. So pleased your Mum visited. I would absolutely love to come and sit and knit with you. Much love xxx

The wip summer tee alpine bloom very lovely

Happy midsummer! It has been over 38° C In Tennessee for it feels like 3 weeks so I have been overheated and doing very little. I have a ranaculas on needles in ribbon yarn for my sister and a muscleberg type hat for my son in bamboo. Both yarns are challenging!!!! I am glad you are back. You inspire me to power thru! With this weather I appreciate the winter and visaversa.

Lovely knits and earrings x

Love the salty air tee and the yarn look very nice. Today I'm wearing a new sweater Brännö in drops Belle it feels "marine style" off white with garter stripes in navy blue and a boat neck together with linnen trousers. I'm knitting my second mingling daisies shawl for my sisters colleague and the houndstooth jacket is slowly progressing. I wish to go and see you at a yarn festival.. sometime. I have never been to Finland before and it's about time. Wasa is not far to go to with a ferry. Don't stress to much it sound like too much work. Be kind to yourself. ❤

Your colors are beautiful! My whole house is Smokey gray it’s a very relaxing color.😊

Always happy to see you Jana!! Happy Anniversary!!💜💜💜

Love the Tee Shirts you are working on! Happy Anniversary!
