Oh my, the first half of 2024 has been full of both challenges and good times for both of you. So sorry about your injury and the fire, Petra, and about being laid off, Natasha. You both have great attitudes about the losses and an appreciation for being healthy. The cruise sounds amazing (better than mine to Alaska-currently home and grounded with COVID which I got on the ship 😒. Love your blue sweater, Natasha. The colour is amazing. The blanket turned out really well. I want to try that No Purl Knit blanket pattern. I love how you knit the colours- looks like patchwork but without all the sewing of seams. Great to see your summer knits that have stood the test of time. I can’t seem to wear white for 10 minutes without getting a stain. Lol! Matteo is so cute and getting so grown up! A toddler now! 🤭That shawl is beautiful and the kit comes with quite the memory. How wonderful that your friend could wash the yarn and your local shop wound your yarn,Good to see you have been able to get back to knitting. I did lots of garter knitting when I was reviewing from thumb joint replacement as I couldn’t manage purling-us knitters will find a way! 🤗 I am knitting the Turtle Dove Cardigan for my daughter for her 50th in August and bought her some buttons and a clip in Alaskan yarn shops for her to choose to provide a way to close the sweater at the front. Also. Bought some fluffed up merino yarn hand died in Ketchikan and my math was off like yours was in Iceland, Petra, so it will be an expensive sweater-yikes! That octopus is going to be adorable! So is that romper-looks like a little circus tent. And that thrift store sweater-so good!
Oh my… great advice and lots of news. I broke my shoulder last year and recovered in my recliner knitting away on my daily pullover. Lucky for me I had gotten to the knit knit knit part and knitting in the round saved my sanity. I’ve just moved into a new house and unpacking all my I beautiful things that had been in storage for 6 months. Bringing me JOY sending joy to you both!
Thank you, glad that your beautiful things are bringing you joy. Enjoy. Hope your shoulder has completely healed.
So glad to see you back.I'm so sorry you've been through a bad time.Sending hugs,X
A reminder to be thankful for what you have that you can hold in your heart. Best to you both and your family!
Thank you. So true. ❤️
So good to have you back ❤
Twice in one week, how wonderful. We missed you 😊❤
I am so sorry to hear about the fire....how very scary AND a broken shoulder??? Hopefully the rest of your year will be clear sailing!! That is a lot to go through!! I had to chuckle hearing the crochet story....proof you can't keep a good woman down!! :) As usual, BEAUTIFUL knitting by both!!! Your comment about using the nice things is so very true and I am going to start incorporating that advice!!
Glad to see you back in my feed! Thanks for sharing your downs and ups! And yes Faroese is a word to describe information from the Faroe Islands such as Faroese Knitting!
Love all the knitting and projects you are doing.
I’m so glad you are all safe from the fire. That must have been terrifying!
So happy to see you both back. ♥️♥️♥️♥️
I nice to see you again
We had a wall fire from our woodstove back in Feb of 2020 right before Covid. It damaged part of the roof in out great room. We had 150k in Reno’s from the water damage. They blasted a small fire with a massive amount of water and it destroyed the room and the basement below. Thank god we were home or it would have burned down the house with our dogs inside. 8-(. Also I made my husband a sweater out of the “seaweed eating” sheep wool. Soooo soft. Glad you two are doing well!!!!
So sorry for the accident and fire. I will be thinking of you as this journey of healing continues. I can see you both are healing from the fire. My heart is with you. Take care. You both bring me joy watching your podcast. Take care now!
Sorry to hear about the fire. Glad you are all safe
I am so glad to see you back! I checked all the time. Course, we only think the worst. A broken shoulder and house burning is pretty bad. Glad to see you have a great attitude about it all. Our house was struck by lightning in 2008 and burnt in much the same way. Tore the whole thing down and rebuilt. Now you can make those improvements you always wanted! Everything new! It's a pain but we said it was the best thing that ever happened. We had an awesome restoration company. If you don't know where your stuff is, it's in some ozone chamber somewhere and will come back with the oddest non-smell. Good luck. It will pass. My husband and I love to watch you.❤
Glad to hear everyone is safe.
So sorry you started the year going through such rough patch, but I’m happy you look at the positive side of the situations and so happy you are healing both physically and emotionally. Sending love and light to you both 💗
Thank you ❤️
Thank you for sharing your experiences this year. I am very relieved everyone in your family is ok. I especially love your reminder at the very end to "use all your beautiful things! ". Up until this summer I have not made very many summer knits, but I am deliberately now doing at least two projects per summer so that eventually I can wear my 'favorites' year-round. (It's sometimes a long hard wait until the weather cools to pull out the fall/winter knit favorites... and I want to keep that feeling going of using the beautiful -at least to me - knits ALL year round. Happy summer mojo knitting!
I love wearing hand knits all year too. Enjoy.
Oh no, you both have gone through a lot this year. It is so good that you have each other, a great family and the best hobby in the world 🧶
You show such beautiful woolly things, thank you for every episode you do 🌟 Stay safe!
So lovely to see you both back smiling and sharing your passion for knitting after all you’ve been through this year! Take care and looking forward to seeing you next time x
I’m so sorry to hear about all you’ve been through. 🤗
Also, really happy for you that your knitting mojo is back and you are all doing well and that you have had happy times as well. Wishing smooth days ahead and looking forward to the next podcast whenever it comes. Take care ❤
Wow.... how nice to see you again ❤
Oh my dear friends, I wish that I had known what had been happening. You’ve been on quite the roller coaster this last 6 months and my heart is full of admiration and loving respect for your attitude of resilience and determination to find your way past the hardship and bring joy back to your lives. The loss is enormous but your laughter is reassuring and you have purposeful energy to keep positive and healing. Thank you for being a voice for all of us as a lesson in life. Much love ❤️ to you all.
Very good to see you both. Thinking of you. Be careful out there!
Thank you for your beautiful video! I am so sorry for all of the difficulties you have endured. May all continue to be easy moving forward! ♥️🐑♥️🐑♥️
Thank you so much! ❤️
I really enjoy your podcast and hearing abut both of your knits. Glad you have been able to do some more videos.
First of all I'm so glad you're both ok and nobody was hurt by the fire. Still I'm very sorry about all the things and memories that got destroyed or lost and about the big mess and all the work that comes with it. Please take good of you both and have fun with Matteo and also your wonderful travels.
I'd like to give you two at least a virtual hug. You ladies are both very tough cookies for sure!
Lots of love from Germany,
Andrea ❤
Thank you for your comment and virtual hug.
So very sorry you experienced this fire! Glad there were no injuries! Hopefully you will be able to occupy it again soon! 😢❤
So sorry to hear why you have had a bit of a hiatus. Glad things are turning around.
Petra, I just purchased linen yarn for an Agave. Can’t wait to compare notes.
Very glad to see you posting again, but goodness, I’m so sorry for all your troubles! You both have such a positive attitude, surely you’ll overcome the challenges. (I’m a little worried about the puppy, though--dare I ask how he handled the tribulations???)
Oh my goodness, what a shock you ,it’s have all had. A blessing you were there and able to call the fire brigade before too much damage was done. So true to just use your things and don’t keep anything for best. Delighted to see you again in the same week. Take care all of you ❤
Just LOVE to you two, so terribly sorry to hear what happened to my friends. Look forward to our next visit together
I’ve been following you since the world stopped for the virus. I’ve felt like I get to check in you you from time to time, but this time feels very heavy. We all know that stuff can be replaced, but I get the sense that your trust in the order of things may have changed. I know that this sounds mad, but I hope you find that feeling of safety again.💗
So nice to see you guys! Lots has happened to you. I'm glad everyone is fine! Glad you got your Knit MOJO back! Natasha, you mentioned in your last video you lost your job. Are you working outside the home yet?Rosie
So glad to see you two again and that you're doing fine despite everything that happened. What a lovely sweater for Mateo from the thrift store ❤.Loved the crochet story- that could be me😂.Wish you all the best!
Well, gosh….so very, very sorry to hear about the fire. Your resilience shines through….what an inspiration for those of us going through tough times. Brava to both of you for continuing to travel and knit, and carry on despite the challenges. But you’re absolutely due for an uneventful remainder of 2024!
Love the blanket ! Very pretty! I am happy that you are all well despite all that has occurred. It is always a pleasure to tune in to your videos stay well ! 🦋🧶.
First of all, yes, use the good dishes. Great to see you guys, as always. Petra, I am interested in the cruise that you took. Can you say what cruise line it was? After the cruise with A & C that I took in March 2023, I am sold on smaller ships. (btw, I took the A & C cruise because of you guys) I look forward to seeing the crocheted sweater when it is finished. I thought that you were purposely adding fringe on the shawl that you are finishing up. I look forward to seeing it finished as well. Best of good fortune for the rest of the year. You have used up all of your emergency cards and only have fun cards left! ❤
Thank you for your message. Gosh we hope that we have used up all the emergency cards! Bring on the fun ones.
The cruise was with holland America, not as small as hurtigruten works&C, about 1900 passengers. I would recommend it.
I was beginning to worry about you both, and now it makes sense that it’s been a while. I’m glad no one was hurt in the fire and as you say, things can be replaced, but people cannot. Cherish your time with family and I hope we see more of you in the coming months. Take care of your shoulder Petra. Let us know if you decide to go to Rhinebeck. I met you briefly last year but you were running to catch your bus. Happy summer knitting.
So lovely to see you both in these two episodes. Thank you for sharing your knitting and your life journeys with us. I am so glad that you are both all right and that your families are well. Truly we are blessed to be able to do a little of what brings us joy everyday 🤗
So lovely to see you again. Sorry for all the trouble you have been dealing with. Good you have each other and you have a very positive attitude to life. Love from Copenhagen 🇩🇰
So sorry about the house fire !!! I hope Petra recovers completely from the shoulder injury, best wishes for prompt recovery !!! I have just becom a grandma on 26th of April, I am very interested in the Dansih romper pattern Petra is kniting, but I couldn't see the name on the screen, is it the Polka romper by Bolette Steen Gudmundsson ? Thanks for sharing your hope and joy !
Can you give a link for information about your trip...Travel agent, cruise company, etc ...it sounded awesome! I really enjoy your podcasts!
Happy to see your beautiful smiles and that you are all well and safe now! You have had a lot going on over the last 6 months! Thanks for sharing! Take care. Happy Knitting!
What a time. so happy you are recuperating well. Helmet proponent! Sometimes those things we think look ridiculous are life-saving
So sorry to hear about all the incidents 😢. I am a Denver Colorado resident, so wish I could have done something to help when you were so far from home. We all feel like friends as knitters. Take care and glad you are all ok.
I don’t have as a fun story on how I fractured my shoulder, but I started knitting the next day after my surgery, because I figured out I wasn’t moving my shoulder while knitting. Good thing because I don’t crochet. Glad you are on the road to recovery. I have been discharged from my PT and follow up with the surgeon. I am 5.5 months post surgery.
Great to catch up on the last one a few days ago and this one today. My thoughts are with you both. Great to get your mojo back!❤
I am thankful that you are well and have taken the time to post another lovely and moving episode.!I love your approach to knitting and your amazing knitting skills.I laughed when you described the purchase of the very expensive hat kit…we had a similar experience in Reykjavik with a purchase of a $47 loaf of fresh baked bread-we calculated the real exchange rate after the fact! The advantage to stopping over in Iceland en route to Paris is that everything in Paris seems remarkably inexpensive!
So sorry to hear about your surgery and fire. So happy to have you both back.
Excellent words of advice at the end Petra. What a time your family has been having but good to hear that everyone is well. I'm already thinking of knitting a version of the Polka Dress for my new niece for when she's a bit older. It's so cute. 😊
Glad you re all well what a trauma my youngest son is a firefighter so I know about it Greetings from Edinburgh
I so relate to what you are feeling. After we retired we sold our home and were living full time in our 43ft motorhome and traveling across the country. Everything we owned was with us. Our motorhome burned to the ground a year ago when we were in NM. We lost everything. I had thousands of $ worth of yarn in bins and all my hand knits. I didn’t even have shoes on my feet. It is surreal to see all your stuff burn. We still have dreams of the fire many nights a week a year later. So yes….cherish and use your beautiful things as well as carpe diem. Happy to see you are safe and to see you both back.
Delighted to see you both safe, sending a big hug from Scotland. ❤x
Wow! You two have had quite a few months! So glad to see you back! ❤
You both have had some difficult events, but I’m glad you are still able to have a good attitude/perspective on life. May you be blessed with better days.
Yes, twice in a week.I love your positive attitudes, it’s so true enjoy your beautiful things everyday.
You and your families are safe and that is the most important thing.
You were definitely missed.❤
Love watching podcasts by you two lovely ladies and missed them over the past few months. It was lovely to see little Matteo walking....yes time flies past.
Petra can I just say you are looking beautiful tonight....you are glowing. Great to see you ladies back. 🎉
Such a lovely Mother you have Natasha! Such a lovely daughter you have Petra. So sorry for all you’ve been through and so appreciate the reminder to do the things that bring us joy and to knit all those special yarns. Hope we see you again so but mostly wish you a better end to 2024.❤
Hello ladies! SO glad to have you back. Petra, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your beautiful home. I am so sorry for your pain and loss of all the beautiful things...memories... thank you for sharing you heart ach as we are part of your community that care. Praying for you as you and your family walk through this tragedy. Thank you for the reminder to use your pretty things. I will.
It is wonderful to hear from you again--but I’m so very sorry for all the troubles you’ve had since the beginning of the year! You both seem to have a positive attitude to deal with the sundry challenges, though. (Do I dare to ask, how is the puppy doing??)
Glad everyone is safe after the fire! Having a house fire is terrible, because you lose memories like pictures, or things made for you by loved ones.
WOW That feels like a Tsunami you guys have gone through!!! Surgery!!housefire!!Still so positive, very inspiring.The way you laugh always reminds me of my darling Mum. Natasha I love that baby blanket. love your vlogs. Petra hope you are not in a lot of pain. You must feel the loss of lots of personal items but as Natasha said you are safe.
My you have had quite a tumultuous beginning to 2024. Resilience is the word of this time. I’m so happy you are all doing ok. A house fire is traumatic it can cause ptsd. Be well and keep knitting.
Oh no! I am so sorry about your house, but glad you are all ok. If you need some stash, just ask…
I was on a cruise in May with my family that was supposed to go to the Faroes and that port got cancelled after we made final payment. So nice to hear about it, but now I’m jealous! 😂 I know you’re all trying to stay positive, but it’s okay to acknowledge when life keeps kicking you when you’re down! It’s hard and traumatic to deal with so much at once, but things will be better again. ❤ I also loved Edinburgh and look forward to returning for maybe a week someday.
Omg but you went through a lot. HOWEVER So lovely to see you laugh about crocheting with the hurt shoulder. Get better and all the luck for y'all
Very lovely to see you back after such a hard time. I'm glad you're back on track.
Wishing you both only great things. Natasha you need to write a pattern for your version of the no purl ribbed baby blanket. It’s BEAUTIFUL!
❤❤❤❤❤
Lovely to see you Ladies again! See you again soon
Wow, you have been through it, but you both are looking well and still doing what you love. Glad you are okay and I look forward to your next podcast. ❤
Ooo love the shawl !
Thinking of you a while back. Thought you’ve been busy being mom and grand mom. Sorry about your job. It sucks. Good to see you.🧶🧶🧶
Welcome back! May I ask what cruise line you used? Thanks! I walked the Francés this year- wonderful! Take care

Dear Petra: I remember you spoke about doing the coast to coast trail a while back…May I ask if you booked the accommodations along the way yourself? I’m thinking about planning a long walk sometime next spring. Happy knitting (and happy trails)😊
Yes we did book the accommodation ourselves. We have a blog that mentions most of them here ctoc2023.blogspot.com/ I’d be happy to send you our planning doc. Send me a note on petrakt@gmail.com
@@knitink1044 thanks so much!
Petra, do you mind sharing the company you did your cruise with? I am very interested in all of those places.
It was Holland America and I would highly recommend them.
I have made that super simple baby blanket..my daughter has never dried it because I thought you could not. I would love to know your pattern
Natasha used the purl soho no purl blanket pattern and color blocked. She talks about it in more detail in episode 43.
So what about the red sweater? Did you happen to find it in CO?
Petra I am so sorry. If you need yarn please contact us. You know we have plenty to share.!
Oh my, the first half of 2024 has been full of both challenges and good times for both of you. So sorry about your injury and the fire, Petra, and about being laid off, Natasha.

I have it favourited on Ravelry Beth MacDonald Stone of Designing from the Rock or Knitting from the Rock podcast made it with less positive ease and no sleeves and it looks amazing.
