Hello from deepest South Devon in the South West of England. I have been watching your podcasts all this year and feel very lucky that they were the first podcasts I ever watched. You have helped me through a very difficult year which has seen me both recover from major hip surgery and close my wool shop. I am now a new convert to podcasts and have also watched many others mainly through your recommendations. So a huge thankyou. I am 63 and have knitted since I was two years old. I have taught many people to knit and spin..it has cheered me to know that so many young people are enjoying these fibre crafts and are now linked across the world.
its wonderful how knitting can connect so many from all over the world. Hope your surgerys went well and that your knitting had cept you good company
@@knittingtraditionsThank you All went very well and I am now out of pain. Knitting is almost always the answer to most things in my opinion. In my shop I specialised in selling natural yarns and the majority were not super was as I have always advocated the yarns you call rustic..(I do like this description) I now have a house full plus a friend's spare room of remainder stock. If you know of any one who would be interested..I still sell a little to my current stoners from my cottage, but it would be nice to see the rest go to a good home maybe a startup business. I have some interest in this but would like to spread the net further afield. Take care. Dawn.
I would add my voice to your post as TH-cam podasters have helped me more than I can say over the pandemic. Inga being one of the best podcasters, imo, and I think we should give a huge thank you to her for holding down a high stress job and producing the podcasts we love. ❤💖💙🧡❤
I have also knitted my way through a couple of hip replacements and so many other losses and ups and downs. I cannot imagine how difficult it was to close your wool shop. It is wonderful to "meet" you here though!!
@@Stumpybear7640 I agree. I would love to learn to do a podcast but don't have a clue how to start. I was used to travelling around giving talks to large groups but it's the tech bit I would flounder with.
I always enjoy every minutes of your episodes, especially when you explian how you modified a pattern to fit to your own specifications.
Hello, from Salisbury, MA, USA, thank you so much for showing us photos of your country, love love it…. Really enjoy your podcast…
You make the most gorgeous garments! Thank you for another great video.
Silk mohair … on cones …. On sale… from knitting for olive!! What a find. I’m very envious. I like the lavender color best.
Thank you so much for explaining your process with the islander color work sweater! It helps me so much to hear how you make adjustments so that the item fits better and/or so the color work turns out beautifully! i am no where near as prolific a knitter as you are, but I also enjoy finding different yarns to try, and different techniques or patterns so that I challenge myself a little bit. I love knitting!! Whenever I see that you've posted a new episode, I get a big smile on my face!!
Hi Inca , my first time here 😊. Love your sweater, it looks perfect. I am a disabled RN,BSN. Nice meeting you today. I love crochet, knitting and yarn! Hope you have a safe rest of your week ❤
What a great midweek surprise! I just canenoff a stressful work call. I needed this so much.
I hope the rest of your week goes more smoothly :)
Hope the rest of the week goes alot better😘
I love all you videos! Thanks you for taking up your time to make them. You’re a wonderful knitter !
You are so welcome!
Your blanket is gorgeous! I can’t wait to see how you crochet the squares from your other blanket together! That yarn store!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I use a mnemonic for kitchener. Just remember to ‘cough upon’ your kitcheners. That means You ‘koff pon’ the front needle, (knit-off : purl-on). and then reverse that for the back needle ie ‘poff kon’ (purl-off : knit-on). Set up is just the ‘on’ parts of that, so purl-on for the front needle, knit-on for the back. I hope this makes sense 😊
thank you ! it does :D
This is the best advice I’ve seen in forever. ThNk you❤
@@ceoralandrist You are welcome! I would love to hear if it works out for you next time you kitchener x
Wonderful As Always Inga, Love The Yellow in The Colour Work Sweater it Makes the Rust look Even More Beautiful...The Yarn Store Was Amazing... The Leather Bags Wow! Thank You For Sharing 💐
You are so welcome
You appeared on my iPad today, what a joy to watch. I live in Bayview, Idaho, USA. I moved here from Ca. The change of weather I find I am knitting more. I love seeing all your completed items. My mother in law knits. She is 94 but you would never know it. Just wanted to say hi and I will start watching from now on. My husbands family came to the US from Denmark.
Thank you so much for following along😁💕
Watched all thank you! I love it! Xx 😘
Hello Inga!! How exciting!! I’m knitting same exact islender!! It’s in Sandnes Garn tema 72 or 73! Two great catalogs! I’m doing bottom up, I’m dreading the neck but I wanted the jumper! Sandnes garn also has brand new diy catalog that I know you will love!! La bien Aimee has a new book ( not yet released ) that looks interesting too ! The leather bags are gorgeous, I’m getting a Tumi bag ( the Adrian) , very expensive , for knitting and traveling, I’m going to visit family in March. I hope for it to be the only bag I will ever need🧶🤣 loved the blog , all the names are stunning, please keep showing acquisitions, it’s my favorite part !! 😊

One of the things I love about your podcast is that you aren't constantly using hand dyed yarn for everything. I love hand dyed yarn, but I can't afford it for everything. A sweater will run $100.00 to $200.00 dollars for hand dyed yarn. I love hearing about all the other yarns and where you find them. It is a big help. Your sweaters are always lovely. Thank you for sharing it all with us.
You are so welcome
Thank you for this Podcast, so many nice Sweater etc ...
Wow, so big shop...wonderful wool in all colours...
Have a nice day knitting you projects..
Regards from Germany 🧶🙋🏼♀️
Thank you so much 😊
You must knit in your sleep! So many wonderful garments 😍😍.
Thanks for your podcast. have got a nice time by knitting and watching.
Love your new completed jumpers. Really nice! Thanks for another great podcast
You are so welcome!
Hi inga, saying hello from aotearoa new zealand, and thanking u for bringing this content into the world, as always ❤❤
Hi there. It is been some time since I have checked in. As a doctor I am so amazed with your time to knit and bring these video’s in sharing your beautiful makes. I am having a bit of tea also while watching. The sweater is fabulous. Wow the stripes match from the sleeves to the body. Such perfection. I do love that type of collar and have thought of alternating a pattern (pretty bold for me) to make it mine. Nice that you had time to visit yarn stores. One day I would love to visit Norway.
Do it😍
Wonderful episode 🥰 Love all your current WIPs!
The finished colorwork sweater is so nice and the new one is stunning! It reminds me of amber. Wow!
Hello from Harare, Zimbabwe way down in the southern part of Africa ! I love your knitting podcast ! Thank you for all the inspiration and showing us interesting yarns (we call it wool here) that's around. Also love seeing the scenes at the end of your Norwegian street scenes and of course the fabulous shop with all the wool / yarns to buy. Wonderful !
You are an artist. Thank you for taking the time out of your knitting to inspire others.
Thank you so much!
Blanket is stunning! Every color compliments each other!💖
Thanks so much for the introduction to Unwind & Knit With Me. Every time I watch one of your episodes, I find myself jumping off and exploring - learning so much from you. Greatly appreciate your experience and expertise. :) Your work is brilliant. Love that you challenge and explore new yarns and techniques. I look forward to your next! :)
I'm so glad!
Beautiful knitting as always.
OMGosh those yarn shop 😻. I would be in heaven….soo much squishy joy xx
Thank you! 😊
Your sweaters are always beautiful and cozy looking. Love your podcasts❤.
Thank you so much!
I love your podcasts. They always brighten my day.
Thank you for the time, Inga! Love your striped raglan!!!!
Thank you Inga! Must tell you I bought a lovely hat in Fenwicks Newcastle you may have heard of it here in Uk 🇬🇧! Hat was only about 84 kroner instead 213 kroner the style is beanie but a beautiful colourful yarn similar to the blanket you are knitting! Love both your sweaters you showed in fact everything you show is gorgeous and I agree lots of beautiful yarns! Xx 💜🧶💜
Always lovely to catch up with you! Beautiful knitting! ❤❤❤
Thank you! 😊
Lovely knits as always you’re so talented in all you do and so kind with it take care from Edinburgh
Thank you so much!
Enjoy every minute! As much as I love your scenery at the end of your podcast ( really love) man that yarn shop is unbelievable!!! It’s like therapy for the knitters soul!!! I need a fiend trip there !!!
I am knitting my first top-down raglan sleeve sweater (Petite Knit's "No Frills Sweater"). I chose a lace boucle in pale tan and a fingering weight in dark cream. It's not too bad, though I do catch needles in it ever so often, but it is beautiful!
I've been knitting off and on for over 50 years, or I wouldn't have tried a boucle and a new adventure at the same time. It's working out though. Thanks for being an inspiration.
Thank you Inga for sharing all this inspiration and joy in creating ❣️ As always is every minute interesting and one doesn’t want to miss anything. Love your long episodes💕🌸🤗
Thank you so much!
If all knitters would make a beauty contest, I am sure you would win that sparkling, You are so beautiful and it's such a pleasure for the eye to look at, and when you speak, you are mellow and smart. Please be careful and be safe. Thank you for your talents.
I always watch your podcast from beginning to end. Love every nanosecond!
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing. It’s always good to have your company whilst I knit an hour away. You’re amazing, knitting so many garments. ⭐️
You are so welcome! Thank you😘
The amount of yarn in that shop is amazing.
I also enjoy every minute of your podcast and look forward to your next. Beautiful knits.💕💕💕 Your mug is beautiful too.
Thank you so much!
I found your podcast while searching for podcasts to watch while crocheting a few weeks ago and have been following along since. I figured although I’m not a knitter, I would still enjoy these podcasts based on our shared love of yarn! I love the look of knitted items, but I’ve been scared off from hand knitting as I’ve always struggled and been hopelessly slow with creating projects. Well, you did it. You inspired me to pick up my dusting circular knitting needles and now I have a pair of leg warmers/boot cuffs casted on. The process has been satisfying as I’m using a bulky yarn and my work is growing quickly. Im feeling more confident in my knitting capabilities! I’m excited to begin to learn how to be a more experienced knitter! Your podcasts give me so much joy since I can see how happy knitting and yarn makes you. Looking forward to seeing more from you!
oh how wonderful! quicker knits is definetely a good motivator to get into knittin gand cast on something new, hope you get to enjoy it as much as i have :D
Your colorwork sweaters are beautiful! The size of that yarn shop is mind blowing!
EVERYTHING you create is stunning. I especially LOVE your Advent blanket. 💖💕
Thank you so much!
Hello, first time here. I really love the brown/yellow sweater. It looks like a traditional sweater that has been forgotten in an old boat with rust stains and grunge and stains. It's like it has an old story already, if you get me right. The yellow yarn makes it very interesting. Greetings from Denmark.
Thank you for another lovely podcast. I always enjoy seeing your many beautiful sweaters and getting tips and ideas about construction.
You are so welcome!
Inga, another great episode of knitting, FO’s , and wonderful acquisitions! You continue to give me inspiration, and ideas with knitting! But the thing that always just blows my mind is all the yarn varies, colors, the stock they carry! Thank you for giving us the chance to see all the beautiful works of knitting that other countries provide! ClaudiaSJI!
You are so welcome!
Oh to live near that store!!! Thanks for the tour.
Hello from Turkey☺️ I really love your podcasts🌼
We just had the yukky wet snow here in CT yesterday and it was not fun. 😣 The thought of a sweater made with unspun yarn sounds so amazing. I really love 💕 your sweater. ❤
Hello Inga! Thank you for all your lovely podcasts! I have a wip with the Drops Bouclé and have a lot of problems. It is a beautiful yarn but so difficult to knit. I dropped some stiches and saw the holes too late! I don’t recommand but maybe you will manage!
It’s amazing to see you just knit your own patternless sweaters.
Thank you for your continued inspiration. I adore your freestyle sweater for skiing. Happy to have a long podcast. I was able to complete a cuff for a sock!!!
You are so welcome!
Thank you Inga! Love your episodes!
Hello! I love your podcast!
Thank you so much Inga, for another wonderful podcast! All of your content is so interesting - and I always learn something from you. I love the way you present all the lovely wips, fos and acquisitions. And I also enjoyed that you included a wee snippet of your visit to Tromse! ❤❤
You are so welcome!
Hi Inga! Oh, those silk mohair cones are sooooo pretty. I need to pull out my garter squares and make some more for my blanket.
The square neckline is very beautiful 😊
I got some pure wool Swiss fingering weight yarn at the thrift shop for $1 and after I started watching your podcast I bought a ball of silk mohair. I am making the most lovely pair of socks for my sister! So, thanks for the great suggestion!!!
I am an avid cross country skier too, here in southern British Columbia. It doesn't get as cold as Norway and our winters are shorter. so it's a challenge to figure out what to make that won't be too hot to wear out on the trails. I want to wear my knitwear skiing!
Inga, your projects are simply beautiful. ❤
Thank you so much!
Thank you for taking time out to make this video especially as you’re a doctor. Shout out to the doctors you all do amazing work! I love your blanket 💜😊
Thank you so much!
Wonderful podcast as always! You are a knitting machine!! Thanks for sharing!
The yellow and rust sweater looks beautiful and You knit such beautiful clothes and things. That pink rose yarn matches your lips perfectly. Awesome yarn store you showed at the end.
Oh thank you!
Lovely makes as usual and I love your freestyle. 🌼
Thanks so much! 😊
Enjoyed your podcast - always so informative. I watch your podcasts but have never commented before but thought I would this time as it was such a lovely surprise that you mentioned Lisa from Unwind and Knit With Me.
I am also from New Zealand and as someone else has mentioned, we don't have many New Zealand podcasters but in my opinion, Lisa is the best. Her podcast is also called Unwind and Knit With Me and like yourself, is always very informative and inspirational. I have the small and the large project bags and absolutely love them and I know you will too.
Looking forward to your next podcast.
shes so lovely, i forgot to mention her podcast in the video but i have linked it below in the description so hopefully more people will fin dher pod :D
I love your podcast. It's so calming. I wake up every night around 2am and watch you until I fall asleep. I'm die (actually late)with baby #3 and I'm going to start from your first episode during those late night feedings.
Goood LORD your islander is so BEAUTIFUL!!! 🤤
That rust & yellow combination is so pretty!
your unspun wool sweater is GORGEOUS!
Inga you make the most amazing sweater knits. ✨ the one you have on is so lovely. The test knit is great. The third sweater is beautiful but, (just my opinion) the neck line is not right so do your thing. The fourth sweater is beautiful. The Advent blanket is in lovely shades of brown needs go to the cabin. Your knits are an encouragement to other knitters
I love the improvised sweater! I'm having dreams of casting on my own now. :)
You can do it!
If you like unspun wool, you should check out some of the Cowichan patterns from Vancouver Island. My mom made a set for my little brother when he was 2 (cardigan and hat). Virgin undyed wool in ivory, grey, beige, brown tones. My mom treated hers with a castor oil bath, before blocking.
Great finished projects, Inga. You get through an inspirational amount of woolly wool and projects!❤❤ 18:18
Hi Inga, thank you for the lovely episode. Detail you go into is so helpful. I couldn’t decide if I want to try single held Unspun with silk mohair or double held Unspun with silk mohair. Now I know. Your content is soooo brilliant and helpful. Thank you for doing this podcast
your so welcome :D Glad it was helpful!
I just finished the Bjork before Xmas. Exactly the same colors as yours, except my rust for the colorwork is Nutiden also. And while I am watching your podcast I am using Zakami Suri Alpaca (bought it at the Perth Yarn Festival last fall) along with Nomad Asperitas for a Lento. I am in the US, but this summer I will be in Norway and Denmark, so there will not be a yarn diet in my life. I do knit a lot, but you are next level. Happy to see you today!
Thank you for another lovely podcast, I try to watch while teleworking, but sometimes something you show sparks my interest, and I have to rewind ha ha. I guess I am not that good at multitasking. I wish that I was knitting when I was doing my residency, that would have definitely helped with the stress and anxiety. Now I am nearing the end of the my career and can’t wait to just knit day.🥰🧶
enjoy your knitting time ahead😘
Always enjoy your podcasts!
28:40 you easily can already join the quarters by a nice crochet stich in a contrast colour. So you can save time. Always nice to watch your Podcast ❤
Great tip!
You've chosen some nice patterns and yarns for your knitting. Like your striped self designed jumper. You should discover some native Norwegian designs and add your own unique style. Like with your grandmother's sock technique, but with patterns,colour works for jumpers.Just a thought.
I would call what you do being a wardrobe artist,A CREATOR of wearable art.😊
Love that!
I know nothing about crocheting so I have zero advice for your blanket, however I’m so excited to see it finished! I’ve been loving hand-made blankets recently ❤
Love the blanket ❤️
Beautiful knitting! You may be thinking of the Alaska Hat. It is in my queue and so is the sweater.
Yes! Thank you! its the one !
FYI, in Italian "filati" just means "yarn", so that yarn must have another name too 😉
It was lovely to visit with you today! Love your makes ❤️
I‘ve made a hot water bottle cover with the drops alcoa bouclé and looove it! 😊
Great idea!!
Always a delight to sit and knit to your podcast! I love both sweaters you wore; the stripe my favorite! I think Kat of Heather and Hops might have a pine tree hat border pattern...think she did a sweater too. Happy New Year!
Love your podcasts! Is there a formula for adding short rows to use at the back of a garment?
16:38, I love the top-down raglan, the colorwork has a horizontal stripe effect to it that's why it makes you 'look' bigger; I find that horizontal stripes tend to do that.
Hi Inga. Another great episode. I agree with you on the Gilliatt. I am knitting a sweater with it right now (using 2 of the colors you used plus a 3rd). The pattern calls for 20 sts on a 3.5 mm but I thought the fabric too dense so I went up to a 4.5mm and am doing a much smaller size. We will see how it turns out. You might check out Jessica McDonald's Snowy Hat pattern. It uses Gilliatt and has small tree-like motifs. It is the matching hat for the sweater I am knitting, Snowy Pines.
Great idea! Thank you 😊
Always so happy to see your beautiful face and your podcasts are so fun!! Good luck with your boucle!! Hugs!!
Thank you so much!!
I wonder if you were thinking of the Alaska hat. That has a pullover with the same tree colourwork pattern. I have made that hat and it is stunning but I am not sure if it is the right yarn weight for your project idea. I can recommend it though and am planning to make the pullover this year and another Alaska hat soon x
Oh that sweater is on my knitlist! But yes i think the gauge would be off by quite abit!
Инга у тебя потрясающие работы! Восхищаюсь тобой!
She truly does have amazing work!
Tusen takk for nok en hyggelig strikkestund med deg. Flott å se alt det fine du strikker, og inspirerende å se på 🙂
Your sweaters are beautiful. Too bad you didn't see the Northern Lights. That yarn store looked AMAZING!!
Inga, you've inpired me to make to Bjork Raglan, your version is a very beauiful color combination and it looks great on you!! I've just started knitting in the round (after the short rows) in the raglan increase section in the yoke but I'm stuck!! My problem is that in the raglan stitches around the BOR are not lining up. I cannot fingure out how to avoid the jog problem. I keep getting a zig zag pattern (like spider web) rather that the raindrops pattern at the BOR raglan. Please advise. I'd really appreciate any help here!
Bellissimi ,sei molto brava ,complimenti !
The stitch holder tubes. Are they hard to slide stitches on? Mine seem to stick more then I'd like. Takes me much longer to do the quick try on or block for size. Defeats the purpose. It looks like the same brand. I've gone back to the cross stitch string and darning needle.
A lovely corner indeed.
Thank you💕💕💕
