If Juki ever feels like you may have too much yarn, teach him to knit. Once he gets into it, he'll understand that there is no such thing as "too much yarn".
Wow thank you for being so open about trying to get pregnant! I feel like talking about this while people are at it happens not so often. It's only after, when they're actually pregnant, that they talk about it. Therefore I think people trying to get pregnant often feel alone or like something's wrong with them when it takes a long time. But in fact a lot of people try it for a very long time. I think you talking about it can be really important for someone in the same situation and help them. I wish you all the best and hope it works soon 😊 Oh, and good luck with your wedding dress 😅
I completely understand your frustration with trying for a baby, I felt like I was going crazy with it because symptoms would come and I'd be like (fingers crossed) and finally after a year and a half we were successful and I'm officially 7 weeks! So don't lose your hope on it. God bless 💜
I just hope people would leave the "are you gonna have kids" questions by now as there can be so many so personal things bound to that question that not all wish to share. Thank you for sharing your story and maybe help people see that you don't just pick up a suitable date from calendar for having a child. The rant aside - all the best to your journey to parenthood (for both of you), hopefully you have the family you are hoping for soon. Congratulations for the wedding and house also. 😊
You are soooo refreshing! Here the states handwork is having a bit of a revival. The exquisite craftsmanship brought here by our European, and Scandinavian settlers created so much of our public, and private structures. Obviously!
Dear Kika congratulations on your wedding. I am so happy for you. I had my first child at 32 and my second child at 36. What helped me was learning natural family planning. Don’t think about it and try to take your mind from getting pregnant. It will happen, but natural family planning did work for me. I am 49 years old today and my boys are 15 and 11. :)
Congratulations on your wedding! As someone who made their wedding dress and had a housewarming/wedding I can say it is SO REWARDING! Sending you all the encouragement 😊
I'm trying to get pregnant for 6 years... I'm lost one baby... thank you to tell about your story I'm understant your feelings about this... hope, frustration, sad, a lot of tears... I'm sent a lot of love ❤ Sory about my English. This is my first comments in English 🤭
I turned 33 on the 27th of July. I don’t have kids. And have never wanted them. When I was 30, my husband had a massive stroke. Which was a complete surprise. He’s healthy. (Was and still is). But now he has this brain injury. He walks with a cane, can’t use his right hand, and has something called aphasia which makes it hard for him to talk. (It’s a pretty extreme aphasia). So now I especially don’t want kids. I’m so glad that I never had that desire. But I do hope your journey goes smooth and you can have as many kids as you guys want to have!
Thank you for being so open about your baby plans. I now have a 2 years old daughter and I remember feeling quite lonely while trying to get pregnant and I was so glad I found a few communities online, with others in my same situations. I’m sure that you sharing about your current situation makes someone else feel less lonely and more seen. So thank you 🙏 Looking forward to get some glimpses of your wedding dress! That’s such a great idea ❤️❤️❤️
Im glad you've been open about pregnancy. I'm 34 and he took me nearly 2 years..homeopathy helped massively so this might be an option for you. Please don't let your age be an issue. It will happen. I never thought it would happen to me but please don't loose hope which boy do I know is easier said than done. You're amazing person if you can or can't get pregnant so please remember that. I'm currently 11 weeks and over the moon. All the fertility issues seem a distant memory. I hear you when you say it's hard. I totally remember that pain. You got this 👍
Something I have heard from good friends who struggled with fertility issues is that the baby never comes until you relax and let go. It's the wildest thing... I know a couple who were married for 20 years and had adopted 4 children from all over the world, and she got pregnant naturally at age 40, and then again a year after that baby was born 😂. Perhaps some of us are just late bloomers ❤️
I get the knitting passion. My passion is gardening and I worked it as well. Never got bored. In fact on my way home from the garden centre, I'd stop at other garden centres just to see what they have! Then go home and play in my garden. But in winter I crochet and keep house plants. But you don’t have to do it for the rest of your life. I find we discover something interesting and try it out, and go with the flow. Life is dynamic and must we be. Like Abraham Hicks says "make some pies and taste them!"
Every knitting project I’ve ever tried to do has ended up in the bin 😂 so I had no idea why I love your videos! I watched this to find out why I liked you so much - what a lovely human you are. I was very interested in your last question and it’s helped me make a decision. So big thank you. Your wedding dress was epic. Nice to watch a genuine and beyond talented content creator. Thank you x
Kika, thank you for being so genuine on your channel! Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! You have definitely inspired me to get into knitting and I've fallen in love with the craft ❤
Congratulations on your future wedding. I look forward to seeing the dress. My husband and I took 7 years to get pregnant! I was 38 when it finally happened and half way through a degree! So never give up 😊🎉
Just stumbled on your channel and been binge watching a bit.lol I’m in my 50s and created my family through adoption (I don’t encourage nor discourage as it is a very complex and personal decision ) but just wanted to share a different perspective from “it will happen to you too” - which it definitely “may” as many unresolved infertility issues eventually resolve themselves (or with aid…ie IVF, etc) - because it never did happen to me and I wish these conversations were being had when I was in my 20s and 30s and that is: learn to live a life and plan for a future that includes both possibilities (having and not having)….hold them both in your brain and heart and know that you can have a fulfilling life regardless of outcome. Many hugs and fervent wishes that life grants your wishes! ❤
I watched your wedding dress/housemoving/wedding video first and then looked up more of your videos to watch. It was fun to see you excited about the idea of the wedding dress and the new home when I knew how it all turned out. Congratulations all around. I love your positive outlook and honesty.
The best part of studying for an arts career is that it keeps one's mind limber. It doesn't matter if you go into the career. Just the study keeps you in the right side, creative side of your brain and helps one to see the possibilities. I studied Graphic Design in college. After 2 years I changed my major to Fine Arts. I don't do either for a living, aside from the occasional commissioned work, but I still value my years of study which started as a child who loved drawing and coloring.
Congratulations on you wedding coming up, I'm your age too and going through about similar things. Just recently got married, one thing that everybody kept telling me before the wedding was, things will come up planning your wedding but don't worry too much about them, at the end of the day you will only remember the commitment you've made, it was so true. I'm so excited for you guys, things will come at the right time. One more thing, I'm so excited to see your dress, enjoy! 🌸👰🏼
I don’t know why the very thing you want the most doesn’t happen, especially to such loving, deserving people who would obviously make the most amazing parents, we’ve all been there at one point in our lives. It’s so nice of you to share all the other joys of your life, to see you so happy!
You are so generous to share your calming, joyful and serene life with Juki and where you are living - I certainly hear and respect that not everything is always serene, but when I watch your content, that is the feeling I experience and it is so soothing to spend the time with you that you share with us. Wishing you so much expansive and rejuvenating joy, congratulations on your upcoming wedding and new home and thank you so much for sharing all the highlights of wedding prep and the plan to make your own dress. Two quick questions - what does your sister do (is she your baby sister or big sister) and is your upcoming book in development? Much love to you from Tucson, Arizona!
I think you are such an authentic soul, so beautiful and warm, and I hope all of your wishes come through ✨ You are a lovely couple and seem to have sooooo much fun together 🥰🥰 Have a joyful time planning the wedding and enjoy; thanks for a lovely video 🫶❤
Your husband is precious! He seems much younger than 41. You guys make a beautiful couple. I really appreciate your honest video. I was having a hard day today and watching this made me feel better : )
Congratulations on your wedding! 🥳 Let me remind you: your first baby - The Book - is soon to be born! It is a labour of love ;) and about the pregnacy struggle, I would just like to quote here a special person, Veronika: "Things work out". These are the real words of wisdom! :))) It will work out. And I know it because I've been there. We tried for 1,5 year before I got pregnant with my first baby and nature was still on my side (I was 28). Today I just think, it took so long because I wanted it so much and that brings stress to the whole process. With my second baby it took me about 15 min to get pregnant (sorry, my dear huband to tell the truth 😆) because it was a little bit spontanous and while counting the days of my cycle - I also thought that it was not very possible. Crossing my fingers for you, good luck and greetings from Poland! ❤️
I live in a cold climate in US (Michigan) and I find acrylic yarn to be hot. Very sweaty to wear indoors but it does not keep me warm outdoors if that makes any sense. If you think about it, acrylic is plastic. There ya go!your yarn stay is nowhere near what mine is. When I was working my yarn store within the hospital I worked was very convenient on my lunch break but also it eventually closed and I got a room at discount. I called it my retirement plan and now I'm knitting with it. But I must admit I wasn't too be trying some of this Sunday yarn you speak of! Uh oh! Oh and
Dear Kika, wow your openness about the baby question really touched me. I know so well how you feel and I wish you and your future-husband all the best!
Dear Kika, i wish beautiful things and dreams will come true for you and your lovely Juki. I struggled with infertility and finally have had a kid through IVF. After a year of trying, you can get help and start looking into what's going on, in the health care system, do it! Don't postpone. Of course do what you want and live how you want to live, but this is the message i hope someone would have encouraged me with.
Lots of love to you with your fertility challenges. It’s so, so hard - and yes, you’re right - it’s often only afterwards that we find out how many people have struggled to get pregnant or bring their babies home. I was trying to sort out periods for a year, trying to ovulate for a year, then actively trying for a year with a private donor (2 women family here!) then after a fertility full check up they discovered a couple of issues that led to me going to ivf. We now have 4 year old twins. Thinking of you and there is SO much support available in the TTC community (trying to conceive) if that is helpful to you. Sending love! Your baby will come ❤️
You have become my morning ritual, a treat to go along with my knitting. In a way, I'm glad I found you only recently because I have so many videos to still see! Thank you!
i want to thank you so much kika for talking about the whole situation with trying to have a baby. I think it is so brave to put yourself out there and tell people because i imagine it to be so hard. You make it so much easyer for people to talk about this, because they see that they are not alone with it. You are so encouraging and inspriring the way you deal with things. I wish you and Yuki all the best no matter how it will end up...
Oh honey, I was in your boat with infertility years ago. I told people we were trying before we knew we would have difficulty with it. Maybe you will get pregnant soon, and I really hope so, but you probably have already started getting the "advice" that we got about "Oh we had trouble too, but then we just relaxed and gave it to God and boom" or "If you follow this special diet, you'll be pregnant in no time" or "we gave up and decided to adopt and boom". It's unreal how insensitive and thoughtless people can be though they are trying to be helpful. We discovered that I had a condition that made pregnancy almost impossible and we ended up adopting. We adore our kids and would not have it any other way, but I do still remember the crying myself to sleep at night and the stress it put on our marriage when we were still trying. I soooo hope you are successful soon and please know that you are not alone in this experience. You are strong and resilient and no matter the ultimate outcome, you will persevere.
Have a great wedding.. wish you the best. As far as choosing what you want to do for the rest of your life... I'm 68 now. I found my life has been a series of.. tried that, but it's not for me.... tried something else... great hobby, but not something I want to do every day. I'm still learning and trying new things. . That is my passion.. I still don't know what I want to do when I grow up. May you continue to search for new things .. change is great. All the best to you
Watching this back again and just want to tear up 🥹 I love that you were so open about this, it made me not feel so alone wanting kids in my 30’s. Now seeing you be a new mum and all your journey. Your story has been one of my favorite most beautiful things I’ve watched on TH-cam ❤
Oh my goodness, you and Juki are so cute together. 💕 You are also brave to answer such personal questions. It is funny that once you open yourself up, others do the same and you are not alone anymore. Sending best wishes on your house, wedding and baby plans.💐
I also understand your frustration. I didn't get married until I was 37 because it took me that long to find my knight in shining armor! It took us a little while to get pregnant, but I was blessed with a wonderful baby girl 3 months before I turned 40 (I had always prayed to have a family by the time I was 40!). As King David said in Psalm 139 "you knit me together in my mother's womb". Now that my daughter is 21, I can see now why she came at just the right time, not too soon, not too late. She got married last November to a wonderful young man we are proud to call our son-in-law :) From one man He made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and He determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. Acts 17:26
So happy for you.Do not worry about children,you are only 34 not 54.My friend had her second one at 46.Relax and enjoy the ride.A wedding dress made by you will be original ,different and beautiful.Love the top ,if you have the pattern I will buy it along with watching the tutorial.Waiting for your book to come out.
Happy wedding to you and Juki! You two deserve so much love and happiness - I’ll send good vibes to you both and pray for your (sure to be) beautiful baby 💕
Kika - I can see from this video what a beautiful and genuine person you are. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings. That cannot be easy. Congratulations on your wedding. I have confidence you will make a wonderful dress but, as you well know, the marriage is the most important thing. Best wishes for many happy and healthy years together!
I'm glad you shared your difficulties in having babies... so I can send you good vibes, positive thinking and all the best! If we all send you good energy you will feel it and good will come of it. Good luck!!!!
Dear Kika, your video came out so much on time, you can't imagine! Thank you for sharing your story and thank you to all the girls in a comment section for opening up! Sending you all tons of love and support
Thank you so much ❤ what an encouraging and honest and positive video. Wish you all the best! So happy for you that you are going to have a baby very soon now!
What a fun Q&A video. Congrats on the wedding and the house! Good luck with trying to get pregnant. We struggled for many years with infertility until finally we had IVF and I had a son at the age of 33. Hope it works out for you. Best wishes from Sweden.
You are such a sweet human been, listening to you feels like chatting with an old friend, so relatable. Best of lucks with everything and congrats for all the accomplished projects!! 🙌
Kiitos neuleseurasta. Ja onnea tulevien häiden johdosta. Ihanan avoin ja rehellinen jakso. ♥️ Toivottavasti vielä saatte oman pienokaisen. Helpolla ei ole meillekään aikanaan tulleet, joten osaan samaistua. ♥️
I stumbled across your videos and I am super grateful. The ending is the thoughts and words I needed to hear. I recently resigned from my job, last day on 31 October. The environment was too toxic, but I loved what I was doing which was working with animals. I have decided to pursue my dream and study Veterinary Physiotherapy. However, I am going to be jobless next month. But, I have studied 3D animation and this is my final year and my goal is to create 3D Animated Veterinary videos and to just create and to enjoy what I studied for a bit. I am very nervous about this big move. But, your words were very comforting. Thank you.
This video made me smile so much. I think it’s so wonderful when people choose to be vulnerable. Of course, people should do what works for them!! I always appreciate openness like this though! It made me so happy to see you and your partner happy and to know more about your life together. After years of following, of course people would want to know more about you as a person. 💗 One of my best friends just finished her masters in dance and is very much feeling in limbo right now as she looks for a job. I think covid really reduced hiring! I’m sure there are so many feelings that go along with these changes! As for the baby, hang in there. Even just deciding to try to have a baby is such a vulnerable and personal thing. Every step after feels similar! Every development, new thought, etc. is so new and very raw. I am wishing you both well for the rest of your journey. 💗 My husband always made jokes about “practicing” as well. 🤣😅 - Alexandra
What a great Q&A. I think you are so precious an exude sunshine in every episode. It was so fun to see Juki. The two of you make a wonderful pair. I’m very happy for you both as you look forward to your upcoming wedding. I look with great anticipation as you make your wedding dress. If anyone can do it, you can. Enjoy each moment.
I just came across your videos, and I can relate to the many things you are doing. Knitting your wedding dress was a very courageous undertaking, and it turned out so beautifully! I will give you a little tip and my personal experience of making babies. I had my first child when I was 40 and learned to relax and not get up out of bed after the act. Just stay in bed all night and do not get up!! I hope that helps you. I have just subscribed and looking forward to more videos, congratulations!
Die Umsetzung und Ausarbeitungen der Themen in einem guten Clip ist immer lobenswert! Momentan ist echt schwierig, was man einen jungen Menschen für seine zukünftigen Lebenslauf raten soll. Alte Muster sind bekannt und man meint sie sind sicher, aber man löst sich auch im Alter aus den Maschen und man muß neue Weg gehen. Und ja, es ergibt sich immer etwas neues! Selbstvertrauen und *in Balance* in sich selbst ist wichtig! Ich möchte mich für Deinen Beitrag bedanken und sende ein Hallo aus FRA!
CONGRATULATIONS! It took a book u authored to get marriage date. ☺️ It will be OK when ur baby comes. Don't stress about it. Most of all don't worry about other baby comments which cause stress. U r unique (in a very good way). Can't wait to see wedding dress. Luv from TN, USA
You are such a great inspiration! Especially the last thing you talked about helped me so much. I love knitting, crocheting and sewing and just doing all these amazing creative things while I play two instruments and started ballet this year and I catch myself so often while thinking about what to do with my life ( I am 15 ) and asking myself a lot of „ what if…“ questions. I sometimes feel under pressure because of the bunch of amazing ideas I have for me and my life and all the directions I want to take. It´ s kind of the other way around, because I did dancing for some years, but never really professional and now I feel this need and strong wanting to just start it to do professional while I don ´ t want to give up all the other things I am doing. I do overthink this all the time and imagine how it would have been, if I started to dance professional earlier. There are always those people who say that you are too old or can ´ t do what you dream of, which makes me very sad. And then I see those people at my age who have already decided yet to become a professional dancer, who started dancing at the age if just 2 years and are now doing these in such a perfect way. Then I imagine how it would be if I was so good at dancing and I feel quite unspecial, because I haven ´ t got those skills ( at the moment). Also thinking of having to less time in life for doing everything you want is so frustrating. It just feels so relatable what you said and really pushes me forward. I just try not to give up and think positive, because I can ´ t change the past and past decissions.I won ´ t let people tell me I can ´ t reach my dreams and goals, because actually I can, if I want to.
What exciting news about getting married and that you will make your wedding dress. You are so creative and I am sure it will be stunning! You are such a sweetie and deserve all this happiness. Sweet thoughts and best wishes to you both.
I get this thing about not pursuing something you've invested so much into... I studied Chinese as a major, then became a diplomat, then ditched it and moved countries to start everything anew, learnt 3 more languages fluently and now work as a part-time technical translator while still wanting to have a little company dedicated to making clothes... I am ADHD/neurodivergent, and non-linearity/new beginnings seem to be an ADHD trait. wouldn't surprise me in your case caus it often correlates with a high level of creativity! and having many ideas at a time :)
Hi Kika! I had to stop the video and write because you opening up about your wish to get pregnant, compelled me to share my own story. And this is by no means an example, a guide, or even advice. It's just what I went through, just so you know you're not alone, nor are all the other women trying for a child. My daughter was born in November 2021, a month before I turned 43. My husband and I started trying to get pregnant shortly after I turned 40 and optimism quickly turned into fear and despair. We went through countless (painful) tests and treatments, IUI, IVF a miscarriage at 8 weeks, and a chemical pregnancy. In the end, the conception was unaided (again - not an example, just what happened). The thing is, now it all seems irrelevant, but it was painful, horrible, and terrifying. ? The worst thing anyone could do at the time was to ask about us having kids. Or give unsolicited advice. It just doesn't help when you're heartbroken over yet another negative pregnancy test. Anyone trying for a child will have to find their own way and adjust to their own circumstances (I know this is not very helpful!), but we're not alone. There are many of us who didn't have an "easy" road to motherhood. I wish you all the best and I hope you and Juki will have the family you desire. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!
Thank you for making such a thoughtful comment. I don't ask people about whether or not they're having kids, unless they bring it up first, because it is a very sensitive topic for a lot of people. I also appreciate the fact that you mentioned that you're not trying to offer advice. It drives me crazy when people say- oh, it took me this amount of time to have a baby, so don't worry, it will happen for you, just wait it out! The thing is, not everyone is meant to conceive, as devastating as that reality is. My husband and I are going to start trying soon (I'm 37) and a part of me is terrified of not being able to conceive naturally (unnatural options are not something we are willing to consider). I guess what I'm saying is, I wish women were allowed to not have children for whatever reason, and people would support that decision just as much as when we do have children. Our worth is not tied to our ability to have kids and every woman should know that! Anyway, congrats on having a healthy child and I wish you all the best : )
Amazing q&a! Really enjoyed it! Congrats on the wedding & house! You look so happy together ❤️! I wish you lots of love & happiness at all times and to share many moments of pure joy together! Keeping my fingers crossed for the rest (wedding dress, little one) so that everything goes as planed for you! Big hug ❤️
Wow Kika, this is going to be a landmark year for you! Congratulations on your upcoming wedding. I hope it’s huge fun. Thank you for the incredibly honest and open answers. I hope it all works out.
Hey Congratulations for your wedding engagement! Looking forward to see your future. I’m now praying for both of you for your bright future. 😎😎😎🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🎉🎉🎉
Best of everything! I’ve enjoyed your podcast, and your future looks so fun and exciting! I’m hoping your book will be available in the USA! Thank you for your transparency and your beautiful knitting journey! ClaudiaSJI
I watched your wedding gown creation video first, so congratulations on the marriage and the lovely gown. Thank you you for the process and progress insights. My baby journey was also uneven; 18 months to achieve a pegnancy; I'd begun researching adoption as I knew nurturing was part of our futures even if the child/children were not biological. Education is never "wasted." My Bachelor's and Master's got "purposed" only for career #1.
I absolutely love this video! I am always so excited when I see you have posted a new video. And I am eagerly awaiting when your book is released. I love your style of knitting, I love your energy, I love your outlook on life! All the best with your upcoming nuptials and I am very much enjoying the contact you are putting out on TH-cam. Thank you so much,from a fellow Canadian knitter!🌷❤️🇨🇦🧶
Congrats on setting a wedding date and thank you for sharing through this Q&A. It was nice to get to know you and your husband-to-be. All the best to you and I look forward to to future updates and videos.
Congratulations!!! I cannot wait to see your dress! Please please do the pattern for your sleeveless top, it is sooo pretty! Thank you for all of your fun, creative, and inspiring content!
Lovely video. Thank you for sharing your future hopes and dreams, may they all come true. You can see the joy that you both share with each other. It’s lovely to see. Cant wait to see your wedding dress creation.
It's so amazing to see how far you've gone with your life and with your bravery ♥ I applaud you for your vulnerability, it inspires me to be more open myself!
It was so wonderful to get to know you and Juki better (Yuki seems like a wonderful person!!). I love how you are both so interested in so many things. I know the question regarding children was a hard one for you to answer as I have 2 friends who are experiencing difficulties. Thank you for your videos as your videos and your personality are so soothing and heartwarming 💖
Hej Kika! Tack för den fantastiska videon som alltid. Grattis till ert bröllop 💕önskar er all lycka. Lycka till med din brudklänning. Tack för att du delar din historia och ditt liv med oss, allt kommer att ordna sig, ni båda ser så glada ut. 🤩 Och den toppen är jätte kul 😍
i enjoyed watching this (I am new to your channel). I am sure that many people will be encouraged by your honesty in sharing your experience in different areas of life. God bless you.
Wow~ Your knit is so beautiful 😍I also majored in dance and was a modern dancer. As I got older, I fell in love with yoga and took yoga classes. As menopause came, I had various surgeries, and now I am studying to get a knitting license. You smile so pretty and it reminds me of the old days^^ I hope you always be happy~
Felicitations Kika pour ton prochain mariage! Felicitations aussi pour avoir le courage d'aller au bout de tes reves, de tes passions et aspirations, vois tout le chemin parcouru et les bonnes choses qui s'offrent a toi maintenant. Je te souhaite rien de moins que le meilleur!
I've comnented this before but I enjoy your videos so much. I really appreciate the effort you put into it. I am so excited for you getting married, buying a house, and hopefully being a mum soon. I hope your knitting book will be translated in german anytime in the future. All the best to you and I keep my fingers crossed for your plans. 🍀🐞👣
If Juki ever feels like you may have too much yarn, teach him to knit. Once he gets into it, he'll understand that there is no such thing as "too much yarn".
Wow thank you for being so open about trying to get pregnant! I feel like talking about this while people are at it happens not so often. It's only after, when they're actually pregnant, that they talk about it. Therefore I think people trying to get pregnant often feel alone or like something's wrong with them when it takes a long time. But in fact a lot of people try it for a very long time. I think you talking about it can be really important for someone in the same situation and help them.
I wish you all the best and hope it works soon 😊
Oh, and good luck with your wedding dress 😅
I completely understand your frustration with trying for a baby, I felt like I was going crazy with it because symptoms would come and I'd be like (fingers crossed) and finally after a year and a half we were successful and I'm officially 7 weeks! So don't lose your hope on it. God bless 💜
@MissouriMakes Congratulations, prayers for a healthy pregnancy and delivery.
Sometimes thyroid makes things difficult
Congrats angel!
I just hope people would leave the "are you gonna have kids" questions by now as there can be so many so personal things bound to that question that not all wish to share. Thank you for sharing your story and maybe help people see that you don't just pick up a suitable date from calendar for having a child.
The rant aside - all the best to your journey to parenthood (for both of you), hopefully you have the family you are hoping for soon. Congratulations for the wedding and house also. 😊
3 minutes into this video and I am thinking you are a very brave woman!
You are soooo refreshing! Here the states handwork is having a bit of a revival. The exquisite craftsmanship brought here by our European, and Scandinavian settlers created so much of our public, and private structures. Obviously!
Dear Kika congratulations on your wedding. I am so happy for you. I had my first child at 32 and my second child at 36. What helped me was learning natural family planning. Don’t think about it and try to take your mind from getting pregnant. It will happen, but natural family planning did work for me. I am 49 years old today and my boys are 15 and 11. :)
Congratulations on your wedding! As someone who made their wedding dress and had a housewarming/wedding I can say it is SO REWARDING! Sending you all the encouragement 😊
I love how you structured this Q&A video by answering in different locations and doing different activities. :)
I'm trying to get pregnant for 6 years... I'm lost one baby... thank you to tell about your story I'm understant your feelings about this... hope, frustration, sad, a lot of tears... I'm sent a lot of love ❤
Sory about my English. This is my first comments in English 🤭
I turned 33 on the 27th of July. I don’t have kids. And have never wanted them. When I was 30, my husband had a massive stroke. Which was a complete surprise. He’s healthy. (Was and still is). But now he has this brain injury. He walks with a cane, can’t use his right hand, and has something called aphasia which makes it hard for him to talk. (It’s a pretty extreme aphasia). So now I especially don’t want kids. I’m so glad that I never had that desire. But I do hope your journey goes smooth and you can have as many kids as you guys want to have!
Thank you for being so open about your baby plans. I now have a 2 years old daughter and I remember feeling quite lonely while trying to get pregnant and I was so glad I found a few communities online, with others in my same situations. I’m sure that you sharing about your current situation makes someone else feel less lonely and more seen. So thank you 🙏
Looking forward to get some glimpses of your wedding dress! That’s such a great idea ❤️❤️❤️
Yuki and you exude so much joy!! It is an absolute pleasure to watch your videos.
Im glad you've been open about pregnancy. I'm 34 and he took me nearly 2 years..homeopathy helped massively so this might be an option for you.
Please don't let your age be an issue. It will happen. I never thought it would happen to me but please don't loose hope which boy do I know is easier said than done.
You're amazing person if you can or can't get pregnant so please remember that. I'm currently 11 weeks and over the moon. All the fertility issues seem a distant memory. I hear you when you say it's hard. I totally remember that pain. You got this 👍
Something I have heard from good friends who struggled with fertility issues is that the baby never comes until you relax and let go. It's the wildest thing... I know a couple who were married for 20 years and had adopted 4 children from all over the world, and she got pregnant naturally at age 40, and then again a year after that baby was born 😂. Perhaps some of us are just late bloomers ❤️
I get the knitting passion. My passion is gardening and I worked it as well. Never got bored. In fact on my way home from the garden centre, I'd stop at other garden centres just to see what they have! Then go home and play in my garden. But in winter I crochet and keep house plants. But you don’t have to do it for the rest of your life. I find we discover something interesting and try it out, and go with the flow. Life is dynamic and must we be. Like Abraham Hicks says "make some pies and taste them!"
Every knitting project I’ve ever tried to do has ended up in the bin 😂 so I had no idea why I love your videos! I watched this to find out why I liked you so much - what a lovely human you are. I was very interested in your last question and it’s helped me make a decision. So big thank you. Your wedding dress was epic. Nice to watch a genuine and beyond talented content creator. Thank you x
Kika, thank you for being so genuine on your channel! Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! You have definitely inspired me to get into knitting and I've fallen in love with the craft ❤
You are an incredibly brave and inspiring woman 😊 thanks for sharing your personal journey. More power to you 😊❤️
Congratulations on your future wedding. I look forward to seeing the dress. My husband and I took 7 years to get pregnant! I was 38 when it finally happened and half way through a degree! So never give up 😊🎉
Just stumbled on your channel and been binge watching a bit.lol I’m in my 50s and created my family through adoption (I don’t encourage nor discourage as it is a very complex and personal decision ) but just wanted to share a different perspective from “it will happen to you too” - which it definitely “may” as many unresolved infertility issues eventually resolve themselves (or with aid…ie IVF, etc) - because it never did happen to me and I wish these conversations were being had when I was in my 20s and 30s and that is: learn to live a life and plan for a future that includes both possibilities (having and not having)….hold them both in your brain and heart and know that you can have a fulfilling life regardless of outcome. Many hugs and fervent wishes that life grants your wishes! ❤
I watched your wedding dress/housemoving/wedding video first and then looked up more of your videos to watch. It was fun to see you excited about the idea of the wedding dress and the new home when I knew how it all turned out. Congratulations all around. I love your positive outlook and honesty.
The best part of studying for an arts career is that it keeps one's mind limber. It doesn't matter if you go into the career. Just the study keeps you in the right side, creative side of your brain and helps one to see the possibilities. I studied Graphic Design in college. After 2 years I changed my major to Fine Arts. I don't do either for a living, aside from the occasional commissioned work, but I still value my years of study which started as a child who loved drawing and coloring.
Thank you…”things are gonna work out.” Congratulations! He seems like a really nice person 🥂💗
Congratulations on you wedding coming up, I'm your age too and going through about similar things. Just recently got married, one thing that everybody kept telling me before the wedding was, things will come up planning your wedding but don't worry too much about them, at the end of the day you will only remember the commitment you've made, it was so true. I'm so excited for you guys, things will come at the right time. One more thing, I'm so excited to see your dress, enjoy! 🌸👰🏼
I don’t know why the very thing you want the most doesn’t happen, especially to such loving, deserving people who would obviously make the most amazing parents, we’ve all been there at one point in our lives. It’s so nice of you to share all the other joys of your life, to see you so happy!
You two seem perfect for each other, I hope all preparations will go well and with as little stress as possible ❤️
Loved meeting your fiancé! The glimpse into your relationship brought a smile to my face! 😍
You are so generous to share your calming, joyful and serene life with Juki and where you are living - I certainly hear and respect that not everything is always serene, but when I watch your content, that is the feeling I experience and it is so soothing to spend the time with you that you share with us. Wishing you so much expansive and rejuvenating joy, congratulations on your upcoming wedding and new home and thank you so much for sharing all the highlights of wedding prep and the plan to make your own dress. Two quick questions - what does your sister do (is she your baby sister or big sister) and is your upcoming book in development? Much love to you from Tucson, Arizona!
I think you are such an authentic soul, so beautiful and warm, and I hope all of your wishes come through ✨ You are a lovely couple and seem to have sooooo much fun together 🥰🥰 Have a joyful time planning the wedding and enjoy; thanks for a lovely video 🫶❤
Your husband is precious! He seems much younger than 41. You guys make a beautiful couple. I really appreciate your honest video. I was having a hard day today and watching this made me feel better : )
Congratulations on your wedding! 🥳 Let me remind you: your first baby - The Book - is soon to be born! It is a labour of love ;) and about the pregnacy struggle, I would just like to quote here a special person, Veronika: "Things work out". These are the real words of wisdom! :))) It will work out. And I know it because I've been there. We tried for 1,5 year before I got pregnant with my first baby and nature was still on my side (I was 28). Today I just think, it took so long because I wanted it so much and that brings stress to the whole process. With my second baby it took me about 15 min to get pregnant (sorry, my dear huband to tell the truth 😆) because it was a little bit spontanous and while counting the days of my cycle - I also thought that it was not very possible. Crossing my fingers for you, good luck and greetings from Poland! ❤️
I live in a cold climate in US (Michigan) and I find acrylic yarn to be hot. Very sweaty to wear indoors but it does not keep me warm outdoors if that makes any sense. If you think about it, acrylic is plastic. There ya go!your yarn stay is nowhere near what mine is. When I was working my yarn store within the hospital I worked was very convenient on my lunch break but also it eventually closed and I got a room at discount. I called it my retirement plan and now I'm knitting with it. But I must admit I wasn't too be trying some of this Sunday yarn you speak of! Uh oh!
Oh and
Dear Kika, wow your openness about the baby question really touched me. I know so well how you feel and I wish you and your future-husband all the best!
Dear Kika, i wish beautiful things and dreams will come true for you and your lovely Juki. I struggled with infertility and finally have had a kid through IVF. After a year of trying, you can get help and start looking into what's going on, in the health care system, do it! Don't postpone. Of course do what you want and live how you want to live, but this is the message i hope someone would have encouraged me with.
Lots of love to you with your fertility challenges. It’s so, so hard - and yes, you’re right - it’s often only afterwards that we find out how many people have struggled to get pregnant or bring their babies home. I was trying to sort out periods for a year, trying to ovulate for a year, then actively trying for a year with a private donor (2 women family here!) then after a fertility full check up they discovered a couple of issues that led to me going to ivf. We now have 4 year old twins. Thinking of you and there is SO much support available in the TTC community (trying to conceive) if that is helpful to you. Sending love! Your baby will come ❤️
You have become my morning ritual, a treat to go along with my knitting. In a way, I'm glad I found you only recently because I have so many videos to still see! Thank you!
The last part is sooo recognizable. Thank you for speaking out
i want to thank you so much kika for talking about the whole situation with trying to have a baby. I think it is so brave to put yourself out there and tell people because i imagine it to be so hard. You make it so much easyer for people to talk about this, because they see that they are not alone with it. You are so encouraging and inspriring the way you deal with things. I wish you and Yuki all the best no matter how it will end up...
Oh honey, I was in your boat with infertility years ago. I told people we were trying before we knew we would have difficulty with it. Maybe you will get pregnant soon, and I really hope so, but you probably have already started getting the "advice" that we got about "Oh we had trouble too, but then we just relaxed and gave it to God and boom" or "If you follow this special diet, you'll be pregnant in no time" or "we gave up and decided to adopt and boom". It's unreal how insensitive and thoughtless people can be though they are trying to be helpful. We discovered that I had a condition that made pregnancy almost impossible and we ended up adopting. We adore our kids and would not have it any other way, but I do still remember the crying myself to sleep at night and the stress it put on our marriage when we were still trying. I soooo hope you are successful soon and please know that you are not alone in this experience. You are strong and resilient and no matter the ultimate outcome, you will persevere.
Have a great wedding.. wish you the best.
As far as choosing what you want to do for the rest of your life...
I'm 68 now.
I found my life has been a series of.. tried that, but it's not for me.... tried something else... great hobby, but not something I want to do every day.
I'm still learning and trying new things. . That is my passion.. I still don't know what I want to do when I grow up.
May you continue to search for new things .. change is great. All the best to you
Watching this back again and just want to tear up 🥹 I love that you were so open about this, it made me not feel so alone wanting kids in my 30’s. Now seeing you be a new mum and all your journey. Your story has been one of my favorite most beautiful things I’ve watched on TH-cam ❤
Oh my goodness, you and Juki are so cute together. 💕 You are also brave to answer such personal questions. It is funny that once you open yourself up, others do the same and you are not alone anymore. Sending best wishes on your house, wedding and baby plans.💐
I also understand your frustration. I didn't get married until I was 37 because it took me that long to find my knight in shining armor! It took us a little while to get pregnant, but I was blessed with a wonderful baby girl 3 months before I turned 40 (I had always prayed to have a family by the time I was 40!). As King David said in Psalm 139 "you knit me together in my mother's womb". Now that my daughter is 21, I can see now why she came at just the right time, not too soon, not too late. She got married last November to a wonderful young man we are proud to call our son-in-law :)
From one man He made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and He determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. Acts 17:26
So happy for you.Do not worry about children,you are only 34 not 54.My friend had her second one at 46.Relax and enjoy the ride.A wedding dress made by you will be original ,different and beautiful.Love the top ,if you have the pattern I will buy it along with watching the tutorial.Waiting for your book to come out.
Happy wedding to you and Juki! You two deserve so much love and happiness - I’ll send good vibes to you both and pray for your (sure to be) beautiful baby 💕
Kika - I can see from this video what a beautiful and genuine person you are. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings. That cannot be easy. Congratulations on your wedding. I have confidence you will make a wonderful dress but, as you well know, the marriage is the most important thing. Best wishes for many happy and healthy years together!
I'm glad you shared your difficulties in having babies... so I can send you good vibes, positive thinking and all the best! If we all send you good energy you will feel it and good will come of it. Good luck!!!!
Dear Kika, your video came out so much on time, you can't imagine! Thank you for sharing your story and thank you to all the girls in a comment section for opening up! Sending you all tons of love and support
Thank you so much ❤ what an encouraging and honest and positive video. Wish you all the best! So happy for you that you are going to have a baby very soon now!
What a fun Q&A video. Congrats on the wedding and the house! Good luck with trying to get pregnant. We struggled for many years with infertility until finally we had IVF and I had a son at the age of 33. Hope it works out for you. Best wishes from Sweden.
You are such a sweet human been, listening to you feels like chatting with an old friend, so relatable. Best of lucks with everything and congrats for all the accomplished projects!! 🙌
Kiitos neuleseurasta. Ja onnea tulevien häiden johdosta.
Ihanan avoin ja rehellinen jakso. ♥️ Toivottavasti vielä saatte oman pienokaisen. Helpolla ei ole meillekään aikanaan tulleet, joten osaan samaistua. ♥️
You are so delightful as a person & a couple & I love your sense of humour also your inspiration thank you both
I have been watching your video for about a year now and you are one of the most encouraging people I know, your personality is so relatable, thanks.
We for married later (29&30), and had babies at 33,35,37,39,&41!! I’ll pray that you may have many joyful pregnancies!!
The last words of this video are absolute gold, thank you so much and good luck for all your projects Kika! 😘
I stumbled across your videos and I am super grateful. The ending is the thoughts and words I needed to hear. I recently resigned from my job, last day on 31 October. The environment was too toxic, but I loved what I was doing which was working with animals. I have decided to pursue my dream and study Veterinary Physiotherapy. However, I am going to be jobless next month. But, I have studied 3D animation and this is my final year and my goal is to create 3D Animated Veterinary videos and to just create and to enjoy what I studied for a bit. I am very nervous about this big move. But, your words were very comforting. Thank you.
Wedding dress project - You can do it!!!! We believe in you!
This video made me smile so much. I think it’s so wonderful when people choose to be vulnerable. Of course, people should do what works for them!! I always appreciate openness like this though! It made me so happy to see you and your partner happy and to know more about your life together. After years of following, of course people would want to know more about you as a person. 💗 One of my best friends just finished her masters in dance and is very much feeling in limbo right now as she looks for a job. I think covid really reduced hiring! I’m sure there are so many feelings that go along with these changes! As for the baby, hang in there. Even just deciding to try to have a baby is such a vulnerable and personal thing. Every step after feels similar! Every development, new thought, etc. is so new and very raw. I am wishing you both well for the rest of your journey. 💗 My husband always made jokes about “practicing” as well. 🤣😅 - Alexandra
What a great Q&A. I think you are so precious an exude sunshine in every episode. It was so fun to see Juki. The two of you make a wonderful pair. I’m very happy for you both as you look forward to your upcoming wedding. I look with great anticipation as you make your wedding dress. If anyone can do it, you can. Enjoy each moment.
I just came across your videos, and I can relate to the many things you are doing. Knitting your wedding dress was a very courageous undertaking, and it turned out so beautifully! I will give you a little tip and my personal experience of making babies. I had my first child when I was 40 and learned to relax and not get up out of bed after the act. Just stay in bed all night and do not get up!! I hope that helps you. I have just subscribed and looking forward to more videos, congratulations!
Die Umsetzung und Ausarbeitungen der Themen in einem guten Clip ist immer lobenswert! Momentan ist echt schwierig, was man einen jungen Menschen für seine zukünftigen Lebenslauf raten soll. Alte Muster sind bekannt und man meint sie sind sicher, aber man löst sich auch im Alter aus den Maschen und man muß neue Weg gehen. Und ja, es ergibt sich immer etwas neues! Selbstvertrauen und *in Balance* in sich selbst ist wichtig! Ich möchte mich für Deinen Beitrag bedanken und sende ein Hallo aus FRA!
CONGRATULATIONS! It took a book u authored to get marriage date. ☺️ It will be OK when ur baby comes. Don't stress about it. Most of all don't worry about other baby comments which cause stress. U r unique (in a very good way). Can't wait to see wedding dress. Luv from TN, USA
You are such a great inspiration! Especially the last thing you talked about helped me so much. I love knitting, crocheting and sewing and just doing all these amazing creative things while I play two instruments and started ballet this year and I catch myself so often while thinking about what to do with my life ( I am 15 ) and asking myself a lot of „ what if…“ questions. I sometimes feel under pressure because of the bunch of amazing ideas I have for me and my life and all the directions I want to take. It´ s kind of the other way around, because I did dancing for some years, but never really professional and now I feel this need and strong wanting to just start it to do professional while I don ´ t want to give up all the other things I am doing. I do overthink this all the time and imagine how it would have been, if I started to dance professional earlier. There are always those people who say that you are too old or can ´ t do what you dream of, which makes me very sad. And then I see those people at my age who have already decided yet to become a professional dancer, who started dancing at the age if just 2 years and are now doing these in such a perfect way. Then I imagine how it would be if I was so good at dancing and I feel quite unspecial, because I haven ´ t got those skills ( at the moment). Also thinking of having to less time in life for doing everything you want is so frustrating. It just feels so relatable what you said and really pushes me forward. I just try not to give up and think positive, because I can ´ t change the past and past decissions.I won ´ t let people tell me I can ´ t reach my dreams and goals, because actually I can, if I want to.
Your happiness is contagious! May you continue living life to the fullest and receive what your heart longs for. I really enjoy your videos 🌷
What exciting news about getting married and that you will make your wedding dress. You are so creative and I am sure it will be stunning! You are such a sweetie and deserve all this happiness. Sweet thoughts and best wishes to you both.
I get this thing about not pursuing something you've invested so much into... I studied Chinese as a major, then became a diplomat, then ditched it and moved countries to start everything anew, learnt 3 more languages fluently and now work as a part-time technical translator while still wanting to have a little company dedicated to making clothes... I am ADHD/neurodivergent, and non-linearity/new beginnings seem to be an ADHD trait. wouldn't surprise me in your case caus it often correlates with a high level of creativity! and having many ideas at a time :)
Hi Kika! I had to stop the video and write because you opening up about your wish to get pregnant, compelled me to share my own story. And this is by no means an example, a guide, or even advice. It's just what I went through, just so you know you're not alone, nor are all the other women trying for a child. My daughter was born in November 2021, a month before I turned 43. My husband and I started trying to get pregnant shortly after I turned 40 and optimism quickly turned into fear and despair. We went through countless (painful) tests and treatments, IUI, IVF a miscarriage at 8 weeks, and a chemical pregnancy. In the end, the conception was unaided (again - not an example, just what happened). The thing is, now it all seems irrelevant, but it was painful, horrible, and terrifying. ? The worst thing anyone could do at the time was to ask about us having kids. Or give unsolicited advice. It just doesn't help when you're heartbroken over yet another negative pregnancy test. Anyone trying for a child will have to find their own way and adjust to their own circumstances (I know this is not very helpful!), but we're not alone. There are many of us who didn't have an "easy" road to motherhood. I wish you all the best and I hope you and Juki will have the family you desire. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!
Thank you for making such a thoughtful comment. I don't ask people about whether or not they're having kids, unless they bring it up first, because it is a very sensitive topic for a lot of people. I also appreciate the fact that you mentioned that you're not trying to offer advice. It drives me crazy when people say- oh, it took me this amount of time to have a baby, so don't worry, it will happen for you, just wait it out! The thing is, not everyone is meant to conceive, as devastating as that reality is. My husband and I are going to start trying soon (I'm 37) and a part of me is terrified of not being able to conceive naturally (unnatural options are not something we are willing to consider). I guess what I'm saying is, I wish women were allowed to not have children for whatever reason, and people would support that decision just as much as when we do have children. Our worth is not tied to our ability to have kids and every woman should know that! Anyway, congrats on having a healthy child and I wish you all the best : )
Amazing q&a! Really enjoyed it!
Congrats on the wedding & house! You look so happy together ❤️! I wish you lots of love & happiness at all times and to share many moments of pure joy together!
Keeping my fingers crossed for the rest (wedding dress, little one) so that everything goes as planed for you! Big hug ❤️
Wow Kika, this is going to be a landmark year for you! Congratulations on your upcoming wedding. I hope it’s huge fun. Thank you for the incredibly honest and open answers. I hope it all works out.
Thank you, I needed to hear the message about letting go when deciding the next step in your life!
I love watching your videos! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and feelings and projects!!! 🤗
Hey Congratulations for your wedding engagement! Looking forward to see your future. I’m now praying for both of you for your bright future. 😎😎😎🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🎉🎉🎉
Congratulations ! What an exciting time for you! May all your dreams come true!🥰
Best of everything! I’ve enjoyed your podcast, and your future looks so fun and exciting! I’m hoping your book will be available in the USA! Thank you for your transparency and your beautiful knitting journey! ClaudiaSJI
I watched your wedding gown creation video first, so congratulations on the marriage and the lovely gown. Thank you you for the process and progress insights.
My baby journey was also uneven; 18 months to achieve a pegnancy; I'd begun researching adoption as I knew nurturing was part of our futures even if the child/children were not biological.
Education is never "wasted." My Bachelor's and Master's got "purposed" only for career #1.
I absolutely love this video! I am always so excited when I see you have posted a new video. And I am eagerly awaiting when your book is released. I love your style of knitting, I love your energy, I love your outlook on life! All the best with your upcoming nuptials and I am very much enjoying the contact you are putting out on TH-cam. Thank you so much,from a fellow Canadian knitter!🌷❤️🇨🇦🧶
Congrats on setting a wedding date and thank you for sharing through this Q&A. It was nice to get to know you and your husband-to-be. All the best to you and I look forward to to future updates and videos.
Congratulations! I wish you many blessings for your future. I eagerly await to see your wedding dress. Im sure it will be fabulous 💖
Congratulations!!! I cannot wait to see your dress! Please please do the pattern for your sleeveless top, it is sooo pretty! Thank you for all of your fun, creative, and inspiring content!
Oh gosh, you are both so cute, I loved the way you laugh together.
Congratulations on the wedding. Love your energy.
Lovely video. Thank you for sharing your future hopes and dreams, may they all come true. You can see the joy that you both share with each other. It’s lovely to see. Cant wait to see your wedding dress creation.
It's so amazing to see how far you've gone with your life and with your bravery ♥ I applaud you for your vulnerability, it inspires me to be more open myself!
Wonderful!! Congratulations and my best wishes to you both. How very exciting!
It was so wonderful to get to know you and Juki better (Yuki seems like a wonderful person!!). I love how you are both so interested in so many things. I know the question regarding children was a hard one for you to answer as I have 2 friends who are experiencing difficulties. Thank you for your videos as your videos and your personality are so soothing and heartwarming 💖
You are a delightful entertainer & presenter, good luck with your baby making!
Hej Kika! Tack för den fantastiska videon som alltid. Grattis till ert bröllop 💕önskar er all lycka.
Lycka till med din brudklänning.
Tack för att du delar din historia och ditt liv med oss, allt kommer att ordna sig, ni båda ser så glada ut. 🤩
Och den toppen är jätte kul 😍
So glad for you! Congratulations on your wedding! And thank you for being so genuine on your channel!
You and Yuki are so cute together. Best wishes for life together 💕
i enjoyed watching this (I am new to your channel). I am sure that many people will be encouraged by your honesty in sharing your experience in different areas of life. God bless you.
Good luck on making your wedding dress and celebrating at your new house. Such a lovely video. Thank you. 😊
You can never control/plan life...follow your passion and believe in God...god bless❤
Wow~
Your knit is so beautiful 😍I also majored in dance and was a modern dancer. As I got older, I fell in love with yoga and took yoga classes. As menopause came, I had various surgeries, and now I am studying to get a knitting license. You smile so pretty and it reminds me of the old days^^ I hope you always be happy~
Baby knows when Mom is busy getting "stitches in a row"! Now that the book is finished, home in place, etc. baby will feel ready to appear ;)
This was fun to have on while I’m knitting your sorbet sweater. You are such an inspiration for me!
Felicitations Kika pour ton prochain mariage! Felicitations aussi pour avoir le courage d'aller au bout de tes reves, de tes passions et aspirations, vois tout le chemin parcouru et les bonnes choses qui s'offrent a toi maintenant. Je te souhaite rien de moins que le meilleur!
So happy for you and your partner! I hope for many unexpected joys to come your way. Good luck with the knitting and wedding.
I've comnented this before but I enjoy your videos so much. I really appreciate the effort you put into it. I am so excited for you getting married, buying a house, and hopefully being a mum soon. I hope your knitting book will be translated in german anytime in the future. All the best to you and I keep my fingers crossed for your plans. 🍀🐞👣
