- Hello friends, and welcome to a new knitting episode from me - a slightly windy one, at first. I hope you will be OK with the 'ambient' noise. The wind gradually dies down, only to be replaced by a little medley of birds and city sounds toward the end, but you should be able to hear me. Such is the price of sitting outside. I hope all is well with you and that you are finding joy in your knitting and whatever else is in your life right now. (I've tried adding chapters this time and hope it works).

Hi Helle, my favorite thing to do is watch knitting podcasts. Yours is the one I look forward to the most. Not just for the knitting but because of your beautiful spirt. I love your content, your quotes and stories are up lifting. We attract what we send into the world 💕
@maryburns5040 do you watch Inga at knitting traditions? She is also excellent x
❤️😘🥰
My sentiments exactly 😊
@@auntylinda7640 No, thank you for recommending her, I’ll watch😊
I had to pause the video at the introduction so I could write this down before I forget to.... talking about people leaving and what have you.... what I love about your podcast is that you always give us something to think about. Knitting can sometimes be mindless when we need to relax and not fret about things... Cleansing of our souls. But often your comments come back to me during those times and I really think about them and explore them. So I'm in for anything you feel like chatting about. I work from home and don't interact with a lot of people most days so it's good to hear other people's thoughts and moments of awe. And those girls that made the archway over the little boy....I want to hug every one of them. That was very special.
Thanks so much for receiving what I say in exactly the way I intended and for writing to tell me 🙏🏻😘❤️
This is the classiest podcast out there. Thanks for your intelligence and amazing good taste.
Thank you so much for your lovely words 😌🩵
Oh my gosh, I love your podcast! It’s very calming for me, you are so talented and intelligent. I look forward to your podcast and I like to get cozy and get all set up with my notepad, my tea or coffee, and my knitting. Your knitting, your home, your quotes, your roses, it’s the whole package! Don’t change a thing ❤
Thank you so much for this 🙏🏻❤️😘
The chirping birds makes me think I am actually there on your deck with you! Delightful.
One of the reasons I like to watch you, is that you have lovely taste and introduce designs that many are not knitting. I love something a bit different and you showcase simplicity and beauty so very well. X
Thanks so much for your words 🩵🙏🏻
Oh my that AKW mulberry silk IS unbelievably beautiful!!!
Agree, 3.5 needles are toothpicks! 😂😂😂
Thank you , and I like you just the way you are 🙋♀️
😘🙏🏻😌❤️
Oh heavens that pink silk is stunning! So, so elegant and beautiful.
Dear Helle, so lovely to sit with you again! Your garden is beautiful and was such a privilege to see! I enjoy listening to your ramblings and musings and only regret that we cannot have a true conversation - you spark so much thought and there is never enough space to write it all here. Your knits are as always true works of art and once again, without wanting to slight anyone, your interpretation is often more beautiful than the designers (to me)😊. I love all the pinks- the nutiden looks like cotton candy😂. Adorable cat, so nice to have him stop by.
😘🌸😻
Another gem from you Helle. So glad always to have your company whilst I contentedly knit and purl away! I appreciate your wisdom and integrity as well as the actual knitting content. It’s this that brings me back. I also find it refreshing to have a successful podcaster who isn’t always flogging a product. I respect your selectivity in sharing. And I now have serious Thread and Maple envy!! 😂
Helle, I adore your channel. I began watching you over a year ago for the musings, travel videos, and beautiful Danish scenery. I have kept watching for all of that plus your knitting content. You are such a skilled knitter and the garments that you select are the type of items that I would want to have in my wardrobe. In fact, your knitting has inspired me to get back into knitting and I am now happily knitting *too* many sweaters (all of which I absolutely love). Thank you for creating this space and I hope that you continue to make this joyful mix of content for as long as you enjoy doing so.
🙏🏻😘❤️
What a lovely quote: Learn to dance on a shifting carpet. It's beautiful. Thank you for this.
Authentic,genuine connection- all aspects of why I so enjoy your point of veiw and ability to create our community anew
Thank you for all the beautiful episodes you've presented on TH-cam. I found your podcast through knitting, but I return because I enjoy hearing about your travels, your current reading, and yes, your musings, as well as your knitting. 🌸
I very much enjoy your musings….on knitting and on life. I would sit and knit in that garden every day the weather allowed, as long as I had the cat for company ☺️ what a beautiful space!
Love your podcast so much ! And to see your roses , absolutely gorgeous. Thank you again!
Hello from Gretna Nebraska USA 🥰 I love your episodes so much ! You are such a lovely person with a beautiful soul ! Love the knitting and your beautiful beautiful home ! 💖
😘🌸🤍
What an inspiring post. I always look forward to your quotes, and your musings on them. When you mentioned that some have unsubscribed, my first though was that those individuals were not genuinely part of your "tribe". I've begun to realize as I age, that the people I keep close, my "Tribe", are the ones that accept all of me, listen and truly hear what I say, and love me sometimes in spite of that. I will consider myself part of your tribe, as I enjoy all your posts, and have often delved into your quotes and recommendations on my own. Thank you! Kim
Totally agree, Kim. Thanks so much 😘❤️
Love your podcast and the way you tell us what is on your heart and sharing your experiences and the lovely ideas and thoughts you share. Also I do enjoy your knitting content, but it’s you that keeps me coming back. You present your thoughts and what you are knitting in a way that says you are sharing with a very good and old friend. So thank you 🙏🏻
Oh, I’m so glad you receive it that way - just as I could hope for ❤️🙏🏻
Thank you for sharing your stories at the beginning, they were so heartwarming and funny, esp the Irish pub one! You teaching your students the song certainly gave them a special lifelong memory too 🥰
Love your thoughtful & gentle podcasts. Definitely not going anywhere. Your knitting, colours & yarn choices are gorgeous. 🧶
Dear Helle, oh my! Every time I see you have a new podcast, my heart jumps and I cannot wait to sit and be with you!! Thanks so much for all you do!! Gratefully with love, Angela
Thank you so much, Angela, your words mean a lot to me 💞
Your podcast is one of my most favorite. It is calming and very soothing. I appreciate that. Currently I am knitting 2 shawls for my Amish friends. I haven't seen them in a few years, and I feel that they would enjoy a nice big comfy shawl that they can wrap up in and maybe think of me while they are cozy. I lived with them many years ago and have enjoyed their friendship for many years. I am almost finished with a tee-shirt. I am knitting it for a friend at work. She is a new crocheter and I hope it tilts her to the knitting world. That leather binder is so pretty. My husband and I do some small leather projects. I wonder could I do something similar.....Seems so handy to have all your tools in one place. I'm in Tennessee, foothills of the Smoky Mountains and man is it hot. 90 + degrees. I am looking forward to fall. The mint green sweater with the V-neck is beautiful. I've never done a v-neck. It looks so elegant on you. Thanks for letting me hang out with you for an hour.
Thank you great episode I love love the garden the roses are beautiful . The pinks are magnificent the knits are great
Thank you for this lovely episode 😀 You give med so much joy listening to all your thoughts about life and knitting.
Thank you for a wonderful podcast - every single little bit of it! Such a treat.💕
Love your podcasts. I am here to stay not just for knitting but for you. ❤
😘🙏🏻
Thank you for the reminder to celebrate and appreciate awe. It was a lovely story to listen to as I was knitting with you. And wow, that silk yarn has such a beautiful sheen. Thank you for making these engaging and calm videos.
Both of your sweaters are just lovely, I love the mint green v neck sweater, it’s beautiful and looks great on you. That pattern would be to hard for me. The quote was true. All your garden flowers are beautiful. Your channel is very relaxing and so informative. Yes enjoy the outside. It’s a beautiful lovely pink! Lovely to see your cat too. The t shirt is perfect for the summer.
Hi Helle, thank you for showing us that beautiful leather needle case, and also the beautiful silk yarn from Knitters World. Its such a treat to find out about high quality products. Beautiful cat too!
I enjoy watching your episodes because you are so authentically you! Please continue to be just who you are and put out whatever content you feel like. I loved the quote at the beginning. I just suffered a sports-related injury that required surgery and a long recovery time, so I have been thinking a lot about expectations, disappointment, and cultivating gratitude for the silver lining that can usually be found in any disappointment.
Thanks for your lovely comment and ‘happy’ recovery ❤️🩹😌
Thank you for the beautiful view in your garden and all the lovely knits. I love listening to you while I knit.
Hello Helle! I wanted to chime in with the others and let you know how much I love your podcasts, and am so delighted when I see you have posted a new one. I so enjoy your gentle spirit, your book suggestions and quotes, your philosophical musings about life and the world, and of course your incredible knitting! I am always inspired by your choice of yarn, colour and pattern. The Trellis is now in my cue after seeing yours! Please don't be deterred by those who may be looking for something else. There are so many of us who love what you bring to our lives. Sending love from Canada!
Sending lots of love and thank you back to you ❤️🤍❤️
I have been watching for the last couple of weeks....waiting for a new episode. I love your quotes and your spiritual philosophy. It is in alignment with my studies over the years. I share them with my husband and then we go down memory lane remembering what class we took or what lecture we heard with your quote. Please don't ever change that.
Your knitting is so beautiful. You bring real beauty to the knitting arena. I look forward to seeing you again and hearing about your hiking trek and whatever else the summer brings you. Not to mention seeing what new items you have made. Stay well. Happy Knitting.
Thank you so much for your heartwarming comment 🥰
"Can I just show you the cat?" That is literally me in a sentence, lol. Thank you for another wonderful, thoughtful and enjoyable episode. Every time I watch your videos (and not just the knitting ones) I remember my weeks in Sæby and Frederikshavn a few years back with such fondness. Your garden is reminiscent of that time for me and so different from what I have here at home in California. How lovely that something as simple (or not so simple sometimes) as knitting can put us in the same room even though we're miles apart.
Love your whole comment, thank you 😘❤️
HI Helle, I think all of you podcasters are so brave to put yourselves out there. I enjoy your musings, your projects and thoughts on yarns and colours, your finds and the sense of community you're creating on here. Thanks for sharing.
One of the best things about podcasts, for me anyway, is the feeling of belonging. There are not a lot of knitters around me so it is wonderful to connect with the knitting world via podcasts ;-)
Yours is an especially good one 🎉😊
I love your podcast and welcome your musings whether philosophical of knit based. Thank you for your honesty, vulnerability, and humility.
I always look forward to a new episode of Danish Musings, thank you. This morning I completed Cozy X by Hinterm Stein, using mohair held with wool and alpaca; it's a simple sweater but with an interesting faux seam created by taking the raglan shaping down to the hem and crossing it to create an X. The clip of you and Laerke enjoying a fibre festival was rather good - and such a beautiful Danish building in the background. Have a wonderful summer hiking trip!
Finally sitting down to knit and listen! I love your videos. I especially love how they encourage me to see the beauty in the world around us.
Helle what I love about your channel is how incredibly authentic and thoughtful you are, so I think the people who don't stick around are probably not of the same tribe. Glad you made peace with it, and keep doing exactly what you're doing. I wish I had the courage to do the same!
🙏🏻😘🩷🌸
Thank you for another relaxing and enjoyable podcast.
The Thread & Maple needle binder is so wonderful, I can imagine it feels like a treasurer
Oh lovely Helle, thank you for another beautiful and thoughtful episode. Enjoy summer, happy hiking and once again, thank you 🙏🥰😘 Karen
Thanks so much, Karen 💞🌸
I love your quotes and also some food for thought it is always there. I always save your podcasts for My knitting nights ❤ much love Helle. I think your makes are so gorgeous
Thank you very much for another lovely episode. I've enjoyed all of your podcasts and appreciate the musings. 😊
Yet another super knitty episode. Your knits and acquisitions are all next level beautiful. Enjoy your summer.
Your mention of Molly Malone catapulted me back to my childhood and learning the song from my Irish/English background neighbors here in the States. Decades later I was in Dublin and came across the statue.
I continue enjoying your channel and all the tips and processes you describe as well as your ramblings and life observation. And your lovely garden.
Hello Helle, I'm very happy to see a new upload from you when I came to TH-cam this morning. It's delightful to hear all the birds in your garden chirping away, especially the very vocal little chaffinch. Moments of awe: The smallest and maybe insignificant happenings can give me those feelings. Isn't it amazing too, how our memories resurface and take us back years to the exact moment bringing back the same emotions.
Both Trellis and Crystal are very beautiful sweaters. I am also drawn to patterns and yarns with enticing names, I am much less likely to knit with a yarn which just has a number, or that is named just 'green', 'brown' or red for example. Just one of my peculiarities! I am impressed with all the gorgeous yarns from AKW, I'm hoping that they will ship to the UK.
Thanks for another enjoyable hour watching and listening.
Thanks so much - also for naming that bird! I absolutely share your ‘peculiarity’, and yes, I believe they ship worldwide. All the best 🌸🩷
Love this space and so glad you share thoughts, ideas and of course your knitting.
I loved your introduction - your roses are beautiful- everything is so peaceful and I can imagine the smell. I’m with others commenting on the classiness of your podcast. It’s one of the few I watch every time they pop up. Thank you.
🌸✨💞
Dear Helle, You brighten my day, warm my heart, and soothe my soul. Thank you for every different topic that you share - all are wonderful and special for me. I learn a lot from you and thank you for your time. Cathy in Atlanta, GA USA
Thank you so much for your kind words, Cathy 😘🙏🏻
Thank you for another relaxing and inspiring podcast! I am loving the pink phase.. and your roses match your yarns💕💕
Another lovely, thoughtful podcast. Thank you! Loved hearing the birds…
I am here for the musings❤😊. The knitting is just a bonus! Look forward to the next one!
I am one who prefers bottom up and even seamed knitting to having a heavy load on my needles though, so I always get excited when someone shows a bottom-up pattern! I like doing sleeves first. They are my gauge swatches and so much easier to knit on their own. I am also adhd, so it helps to finish parts and break up my accomplishments😂. That leads to my next incentive, I always add my own twist. Patterns are for direction and information on the "how to" do a shape or stitch pattern..... but the end product for me has to be a creative spatial adventure or.... I lose interest. I am 60 and just finally learning to accept that about myself now. It has made my fiber endeavors so much more fun and enduring and... meditative, something also new to me❤.
I always look forward to your podcast. You are such a nice and inspiring person! Thank you for the time you take to share your thoughts and knittings!
I love the relaxing way you deliver your podcast, your voice is calming and meditative and when you’ve finished I always much more at ease with life and myself❤
I also love your travel blogs especially if I’ve been to the place and it evokes memories ❤
As for those who unsubscribed after the yoga video, I ask myself why? If that particular video is not for you, just switch off!! As you say all the time if any video or part off is not to your liking just skip!!
Anyhow, those who stayed are definitely the ‘cream of the crop’ ❤️
🙏🏻😘❤️
So lovely to sit in your garden with your cat and share your creative pursuits.
❤️🇨🇦❤️
@@knitnut246connie7 Love the beautiful slip over you're wearing in your thumbnail photo!
Thank you, I love it too. It is Lana Vest.❤️🇨🇦❤️
I‘ve been waiting for your new podcast for a month, I absolutely love your channel. Your thoughts, your voice, your knitting, your presence-everything is delightful. Each episode is like honey for my soul. Thank you❤
Aw thanks so much (and thanks for your patience) 🩷
A timely and appropriate quote...thank you.
How nice! I have been looking forward to your next episode for some time, so now it is finally here. Thank you so much!
It's simple, I love your podcast. For me your podcast is like magic 🤍🩶 and that needle binder is so you absolutely perfect binder💼
Your garden and knitting are exquisite.
Sitting and listening to your video was a lovely way to start my day.
As always, your knitting projects are stunning and timeless. Your Nutiden yarn looks so airy. I hope you will be able to wear the finished item.
I didn't know Thread & Maple was Canadian. One day, I may level up ... they recently came out with crochet binders, which were brand specific as grip styles vary. They are beautiful. Many thanks for sharing your gift with us. I do prefer content creators who limit their product reviews, etc, to items they actually use.
Knitting a pair of socks for a long-time friend and crocheting a mini afghan with a gifted sock yarn stash (about 1 kg ... 25% left).
Cheers from Winnipeg, Canada 🇨🇦.
Nice to see you here again, I had been thinking it was time. This week I bought a ticket to a yarn event called Sacred Sheep that does not happen until November, a commitment to continued year round knitting. Maybe a visit to The Lamb and Kid before November. In the meantime, I am readying items to be entered in our small county fair, pushing myself to finish at least one of the two sweaters in my WIP category. It is certainly possible to complete both if I manage to avoid distractions. Your soft shades are lovely and suit you so well. I do like the metaphor of rugs and change. XX
Hi Helle, I enjoy your podcasts so much. Thank you for all the work and effort you put into them. ❤
Helle---I don't subscribe to many knitting podcasts and you are one of them. I enjoy your discussions and content. I look forward to your postings. Enjoy your summer!
I so look forward to your podcasts I hope you enjoy your summer lovely lady 😊😊😊
Enjoy your podcasts. Your roses are amazing. Have a wonderful holiday.
Thank you, the quote you shared really speaks to me. I want my reaction to be dancing on the shifting rug! Yes please!
Always look forward to your podcast! A Knitter's World yarn and the Needle Binder will probably be on my Christmas list this year! Thanks for sharing!
Loved today. Your yard and surroundings are lovely. All your knitting is just beautiful. I adore all animals and the brief appearance of your cat is charming. I have watched on multiple occasions and please excuse my not commenting. I really enjoy and have loved your format. The one person format is my style and the integrity within is sincere. The travel episodes I love too. Just finishing up second sleeve on my Weekender Crew. Next up is the Salty Tee for my needles. Have a happy summer and take care. Thank you!
🙏🏻😻❤️
Thanks for another lovely video. ❤
as always i enjoy watching your podcast, and so nice to see you and Laerke together, please do a podcast one day with her, , she is my other favorite podcast Fibertales, if anyone is wondering,
Good morning, Helle. I absolutely love your content, especially the quotes. “Awe”….Yes. There are so many opportunities to witness the beauty of “awe” if one is present, right. For those who did not resonate with your content I suspect they’re not ready: not sitting in presence maybe. I hope some gem you’d shared previously will resonate with them at some point. In any case, I delight in learning something new. I find your podcast very well rounded. Thank you ❤ Tonya. Oh. I could completely see the scene of the young boy running and being encouraged by the girls. Great story. Love the knitting and the Fluffy yarn. ❤
Thank you for an absolutely lovely comment 🙏🏻😘❤️
What a wonderful video, as always. Thank you for sharing your journey. I am currently knitting a Papillon shawl for my mother, the Simple Tee by Churchmouse Yarns for myself, and a pair of socks, broken rib, for my daughter. I usually have a pair of socks or a hat, something small, that I knit on in the car or when going somewhere I need a small, simple project on which to work. Enjoy your summer and I look forward to hearing of your next adventures!!
Tak for endnu en hyggelig, inspirerende, lærerig og tankevækkende episode.
Hey hello there from Brooklyn NY. I was patiently waiting for your new episode and hoping you will do it. Thank you for your return ❤❤❤❤❤ sending you hugs!!!! 🤗
Your garden is beautiful. I enjoy seeing that as much as your beautiful sweaters.
Hello Helle, thank you for this lovely episode, I watch your video’s always and love them all 🙏 Have a nice summer 🌞🌞🌞Greetings Anita
Dear Helle, I´m an absolute beginner in knitting, literally I did start just 3 weeks ago, still practicing simple knit and purl stitches, but on my journey through TH-cam I found you - lucky me! your wonderful knit work is the reason I want to keep going, and once I´m grown up ( smile: I´m 46 ) I want to be able to knit like you do! Your mind set, and the way you approach things inspires me immensely and I really do love to watch your podcasts, even though I do not understand all the terms completely, but it will come with time and I´m looking forward to having your inspiration accompanying me while on my journey! thank you for being like you are and all the best from Germany - happy knitting!
Oh, thank you so much for your lovely comment❣️ Consider it an exciting new journey that you have begun. It sounds like you have a similar mindset to me, so I am sure you will meet the challenges one by one and find lots of joy (and perhaps some frustration 😌) in the process. So glad you’re here, and best of luck to you 😘❤️

- og selv tak for din tid - fine ting du strikker en fornøjelse at se med! Tak god sommer! 🫶🏻
Dear lady, I love your podcast and musings. All the way from Oklahoma, so don’t give up please. Love Victoria Saracen…
Thank you Helle. Stunning knits as always. I love your musings. Please continue! That pink nutiden is going to look stunning on you. I hope you can wear it
Your roses are so beautiful. Thanks for sharing them. Thanks for your sharing your knitting, too, and your stories, and your opening quote. And your cat! :-)
😻🩷🌸
Thank you for your creative good vibes ! ✨💛☀✨
Hello and thank you for your podcasts from France !
Enjoy your vacation. Can't wait to see some videos from your hike.
Love your musing, knitting and not related, have a wonder-full summer ❤
It’s always such a lovely surprise to see a notification that you’ve put up a video. As usual, this was just delightful….calm and soothing in a lovely setting and seeing your beautiful knits. I think your “musings” are exactly what keep viewers coming back. Thank you for sharing.
🙏🏻🥰❤️
I am not in to yoga but I love your knitting podcasts…I have learned a lot from you. You are very lovely….watching makes me want to move to Denmark ❤
😍🙏🏻❤️
I love your channel and your teachings. Even if you had an episode that I didn't want to watch I would not unsubscribe, that is a little extreme because you never know what is coming up in the future.
Although there are many knitting podcasts that I watch, there are only a few that I love, and yours is the first of those. When it’s been a bit since you’ve posted, I hope you are well. I’m excited when a new episode drops..Please don’t change a thing!
Thank you so much 🙏🏻😌 All is well, thanks, just need to take my time. Much love ❤️
A very beautiful episode visually - your garden in spring is stunning . Always savor your thoughtful words and enjoy your knitting. I was weaving in ends on my Cloud Sweater in Sandnes Garn Kos - Dutch Blue colorway. I love the results - my first Petite Knit pattern and now I understand why her designs are so popular.
Love your podcasts. All the musings and thoughts on both life and your projects. It’s like chatting with a knitting friend, but you just can’t hear my responses 😂
Keep doing whatever you enjoy. That’s got to be the main purpose of all our crafting. 💚
Indeed, and thanks so much, my friend ❤️
Helle, I love and look forward to your podcasts . Your choice of knits and wool are stunning. Busy with the Javelin shawl thanks for sharing it . Your grace and insights are inspiring. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge and creativity.
🙏🏻😘🤍
Thank you so much for your lovely podcast. You inspire me to follow what I am drawn to rather than the latest trend, and I love your exquisite taste in combining yarns and patterns. The quote, the garden, and even your cat who looks like mine makes me feel like I am sitting down with a kindred spirit to knit together.
Aw that’s lovely. Glad to have a kindred spirit out there 😻❤️
so nice to see/hear you again, the colours of your two new sweaters suit you very much 👏
Hi,it is wonderfully to look and listening to your podcast, sorry to hear of people complaining,maybe they are unhappy with themselves
I am from South Africa and we don't have such a range of yarns and can order quickly by our currency is not good but to see your knits,make me bless. Look forward to listening to your next pods
Hi, love your podcasts, they always give such a relaxed atmosphere. (I knit, spin and love to draw portraits.) In 2022 I came across these interchangeable knitting needles from Japan you can knit little baby socks and small sleeves with no problem (Seeknit knitting needles from Japan - the 5 cm short needles are ideal) Have a wonderfull Sommer ! Greetings from Holland.
Love your aesthetic, your generous spirit, and, your obvious integrity, So very happy for you that you got such beautiful gifts - especially that luxurious leather organizer. I feel same as you re. only having treasured "things" since I am in the paring down phase of my life. I sincerely hope that you enjoy it without feeling like you owe anyone any explanation.
Thank you so much 😌❤️
