Thank you for this! So lovely and comforting.

i am so excited I just found you. As my husband is suffering cancer for 6 years, I am looking for ways to give myself joy. I am a knitter and spinner and loved all your words. I will look forward to chatting with you and watching your journey in this world. Such joy you bring.

Your sweater is so gorgeous!!

What a gorgeous sweater! Waving to you in midwinter dark across the water on Whidbey Island. I love your insights and wisdom around collective grief.

Hello from Canada☺️. I have just discovered your channel and I’m looking so forward to watching all your past videos. You seem like such a lovely person and what a beautiful studio you are filming from. Take care, I hope next year brings you peace and joy💖

So happy to see your beautiful face again Daki, your podcasts always give me so much joy and comfort 💖

I discovered the magic of spinning and knitting this year, after some very painful times. It has been a salvation of sorts. So I connected a lot with your words in this podcast. I am glad things are getting better for you and that you have found your creative voice again. The wool women personify that, without a doubt.

Loved my first time here with you. I feel your griefs along with my own. Thank you Elegant Lady.x

Thanks❤

First time viewer and immediate subscriber! Thank you for a beautiful episode. Your sweater is stunning! ❤

hello.... i´m from Germany... i can´t talk very good english....but i want to say it was a very nice podcast....lovely! Claudi

So happy to se you again and it really sparkels around you, that energy that finally has come back to you. So happy for you. The sweater you are wearing is so beautiful. I absolutely adore it and find myself pondering about how I can make it for myself and how it can look as beautiful as yours. I have som Nutiden in a beige brown color and a very light beige pink that might do. So eager to start a new projekt. Thanks for all the inspiration you share. I love the way you express it all and it's so soothing to hear your voice. Looking forward so seeing you soon again, or whenever you will come back. Wishing you a joyful and beautiful festive season 🥰

Beautiful from start to finish . Let your Light shine ….. it made me smile.

My first time here and I feel right at home. I loved Neah Bay and that whole area. ❤

You are so very Regal. Did you have footage of your felting the flowers on that beautiful jumper? What an interesting technique to enhance colorwork. Your "Wool women" are amazing. I really felt a connection to them, I will look into it. So happy you shared. Will check your IG for pictures of them. Thank you for a great podcast. You were missed.

It is so wonderful to see you again and I am praising God your health is on the mend and you are feeling so much better! <3 Everything about your videos is so beautiful! You are a beautiful soul! <3

Welcome back to my screen, dear Daki!!! It's a joy to see you and hear your voice again. Whenever you post a video, I am grateful. Please don't push yourself or rush back if you aren't ready. Keep this momentum concentrating on joy first. You are a gift to all of us, your voice ensuring us that we are all part of one, glorious world...but sometimes we are hurting and that is part of the journey. Thanks to you, we know we're not alone. Every joy and Blessing in this season of light. Hugs from Canada.

It is such a joy to hear from you again! I’m so glad you are on the mend and were able to overcome your health struggles. I appreciate you coming back with another episode full of beauty, wisdom and authenticity. I felt very touched by the way you hold space for both grief and magical joy at the same time. It must feel liberating to reclaim delight in your art expression when your heart feels so heavy with the weight of injustice and hardship. It resonated with me so much, as I’m trying to find my way to my artistic authenticity. Your woolen matriarchs hold so much beauty and made me think of all the wise women i was surrounded with in my childhood back home. I really hope to hear for you again soon. Your words are a balm to the soul and your intentionality with fiber art is very inspiring. 🧡

Oh my goodness. Where to begin? This was a wonderful episode Daki. It was a real pleasure to watch, it looked so cozy and welcoming in your studio. The jumper is amazing and looks lovely on you. I’ve added it to my Ravelry favourites but I don’t know if my colourwork or patience is up to it! The beautiful felted ladies were magical. So full of character and charm. And that basket full of wool, you were absolutely right. My first thought was wow that looks big enough and squishy enough to dive right into! 😂 such an inspiring episode all round. I loved it! ❤❤ Ps - oh yes and you mentioned me! 🥰🥰. Thank you, you are so kind!

I am so happy to find a knitter that feels the same grief I feel. You have a soothing voice and graceful way about you. Thank you for sharing your comforting ways.

So happy to hear you're feeling better! I absolutely adore those dolls that you made. I too have embraced of letting go and acceptance. I turned 53 this year and my hair has been slowly but surely changed color/texture. I made the decision to step away from the norm and to embrace the change and not dye my hair. I truly think that there is so much beauty in aging women.

Hello there from a very chilly Poland 🇵🇱. I just came upon your vlog for the first time today, and I am so happy I did. I absolutely loved it and will be going back to watch previous ones. I grew up in South Africa and when I heard your accent it sounded very similar at first but then sounded more English (where I was born) You are such a pleasure to listen to and look forward to future episodes. Warm wishes your way 🤗

So thrilled to see you, Daki!! Thanks for the shout out, I knew you would create magic with that Nutiden!! The sweater is so beautiful!!! So good to see you back and I hope that everything has settled down for you and your family. The studio is so warm and inviting and cozy. Much love to you and your family!❤❤❤❤

I'm delighted to see your spark back! I agree that there is no better way to be joyful than to connect with beautiful wool.

The wool women are lovely. What a wonderful way to bless your home.

Your jumper is so incredibly beautiful. I LOVE your wool women, so amazing. So glad that you've created something, that has brought back the magical nature of wool. And that these lovely women are a reflection of you and your grandmother. I do miss my Nan, she was so loving and made me feel important and loved.

I’m here again 😂 Just finished watching the latter part of the podcast and as someone new to the mothering journey, I’m so inspired and motivated by you! We’re still in the early stages and I can’t wait to be able to get back to feeling like my old self again!

Your sweater turned out beautifully! It's always nice to see you again in this space. I hope the new season is one of much more light and ease for you.

Thank you for the lovely podcast. I look forward to the fleece and spinning content in the near future. Take care of your self.

Hello Daky, wonderfull to see you again and share the joy for our wooly passion! Especially love your woolwomen - they are magical. Warm greetings for you and your family

This is my first time watching your podcast, and I must say that it absolutely resonates with me; one of your viewers commented about feeling like a stranger in her own land. After everything that has happened, it went straight to my heart, that is exactly how I feel and how you are , whatever happened in the last year, you have picked yourself up and found the joy again and pass it around and share it with all of us. How wonderful! I am a great Jacob sheep lover myself! I have a friend who has a flock and I have made so far three blankets knitted from it. Everybody in our household wants a Jacob blanket whenever they feel the beginning of a cold, they sit by the fire and most of the time they feel better. I’m subscribing right now, thank you.❤

It is wonderful that you are here with us sharing your story and passion to fiber. l love watching and listening to you. The calmness in your voice is very soothing. You are my inspiration, one of the people truly make me think what type of maker/designer in craft world I want to be. You are so right about sharing the joy. Let's the joy be our guide when possible of course. Massive hug from Ireland :-)

Thank you so much for showing your beautiful Wool Fairies. I looked on TH-cam as you suggested and made one tonight. I am a spinner, too, so I used fiber I had. I made her hair out of very curly white mohair locks. I try to knit Christmas things every year but this year I think it will be Wool Fairies. I'm so glad you are feeling better and you are back to recording. I look forward to hearing about Helen. I love processing fleece so I know how much work it was to clean Helen. It's exciting!

This is the first podcast of yours that I have seen. How wonderful you are! I love all of your projects and your positivity. I’m subscribing and looking forward to watching more. I’m also from the PNW, but in Canada. I can relate to the dark, rainy forest!

I am so glad to see you back! I loved all your finished pieces. The sweater is stunning. You inspired me to consider making myself some Ravenclaw socks. If you have MAX the streaming channel, there is a Harry Potter baking competition!

Enjoyed your podcast! Watching while knitting a sock for my husband. Cozy indeed! Cheers ☕️

Hello, you showed up in my feed today, how lovely. Enjoyed your podcast while knitting a sock and making soup stock from the turkey carcass. I too am looking to reestablish my equilibrium from the events of the year that have left me feeling like a stranger in my own land, and out of sync with the world. I can’t control or change the direction of travel that has been chosen by my fellow travelers but I can sure control the company I keep, my attitude towards others and my own feelings going forward.Finding joy in the creation of beautiful things both practical and symbolic like Wooly Women as they’re women of fiber ( pun intended 😊) and inspiration, reminders of our strength as females who can spin, knit, and weave their own way through the world. It was the talent and cunning of Penelope that saved Odysseus his kingdom after all.

The jumper looks lovely and I love the brushed dresses on the wool women. Thank you for podcasting with joy. It’s always nice to see someone enjoying themselves while doing something they love ❤

This is my first time watching, and discovering your podcast is such a gift! All is beautiful!!! I am in love with your Floresta. Thank you for sharing your joy and love of knitting. Looking forward to watching all your past and future videos. Thank you for sharing your beautiful spirit!

You’re so eloquent and a joy to listen to. You were definitely a Viking woman in your past life. It shines through your presence. Fantastic how you were reincarnated into such different circumstances, yet the Viking woman is present.

I too was so excited to see you again!

Your my favorite podcaster too. ❤

Dear Daki, tonight I sat down with a nice cup of tea and watched your podcast whilst knitting on a sock. It’s lovely to see that your healthy and happy. I love the woollen dolls you’ve created. Strangely enough they reminded me of a myth which has been told by generations in the province Drenthe (NL). The myth is about the ‘witte wieven’, patches of mist that floated over the moors. Centuries ago people thought that the ‘witte wieven ‘ were old women with long grey hair that floated over the moors. They believed that they were apparitions of deceased women or living old women (dressed in white) who help people with wise advice or predictions. One myth tells a beautiful positive story: The myth about the ‘witte wief’ on the Ekelenberg, a hill near the village Zuidwolde, is very positive. She often sat there spinning with her spinning wheel and that is why they called her 't Spinwiefien. A woman who seemed barren once went to the hill to beg for help. The third night she did this, she saw the Spinwiefien who nodded to her. Nine months later she had a beautiful son. This white lady was often seen on the hill after her death... You were telling with so much love about the wise women with grey hair in your life. I thought you might like this myth about the women in white from my region ❤ in the Netherlands. Thank you for the podcast.

Hi! I found your podcast recently and subscribed. I absolutely LOVE you and your content. Your opening statements really touched me. I don’t know your backstory, but i have been living in a living hell in grief since my husband passed away after a very sudden illness April, 2023. Ive been knitting and crocheting for years. He absolutely loved watching me knit and was my #1 fan. He bought me a spinning wheel for my birthday in 2021. It sat because i was afraid to use it. After he passed away, my eldest daughter bought me a spinning class for Mother’s Day. I absolutely love to spin and has helped me so much in my grief. He would have loved to know that! I took a brief hiatus from knitting after he passed because it was too hard. I am now knitting again with joy. Every second of the day I mourn him but people like you, my family and a few close friends help me so much. I am blessed richly today watching your podcast. Thank you. I will pray for you in whatever hardships you are going through. Im Cindy near Detroit. ❤

Hello, just found you on TH-cam. What a wonderful podcast! Your felted dolls are magical 😊

Hello again . Thank you so kindly for sharing your lovely work.

U look like Whitney Houston

lovely podcast, again 😀 I had missed you and hoped that you come back. I am so glad because now you are sparkling so much joy 🤩 I love your voice, your ideas and your knittings 🧶 plus you are so beautiful. I am an old lady (66) with a grown up daughter and when she was born, I was so overwhelmed with the responsibility for this helpless baby that I almost forgot to care and love myself. But luckily, my own mother (long dead now) told me then, that I can only properly care for her, if before that, I care for myself. I understood, just like you said in this podcast, that caring and loving oneself is the key to give so much more to our beloved ones. It is the chain that connects us all, women of this earth ❤️💕 take care and be lovingly greeted from 🇨🇭

I have only just discovered your podcast, and I'm delighted. I really love the sweater you are wearing. Your soothing voice and wise words are a great accompaniment to a spell of knitting. 🥰

I have found your channel a few weeks ago and I enjoy your podcast very much - regardless of how often you post another episode. I find your podcast very inspiring and yet also very soothing. I wish you and your family a lovely, healing festive season.
