A knitting episode | 10+ sweaters I made in 2022 + a wip

- To whom it may concern :-) This is doubtless not a video for everyone - but it may be interesting for any knitters out there. And that's why I made it; to contribute a little to a community whose videos I've devoured and been inspired by lately. I speak relatively fast in it (I realized after the fact) because I was so eager to talk about all of these finished garments in less than an hour's time, and therefore it probably isn't, as such, a relaxing video, which I know many of you are used to. I will of course get back to those videos again very soon! I suspect it’s still a low key kind of video, with quiet background music, which is not usual for a knitting video. Well, it had to be my kind of knitting video - so...
The reason why I try on all the garments outside at the end is that it was getting to dark inside to film at that point (the joy of a Nordic November).
I would love to connect with any knitters out there. If you would like more information on anything in the video, don't hesitate to contact me, either in a comment below or on instagram @helles.knitting.journal or on Ravelry (where I'm simply Libenholt, and where I don't do a whole lot of interacting at this stage).
Sorry for not introducing myself in the video! It's not a very Danish thing to do, either to introduce yourself or others (when you meet friends of friends, for instance), so I forgot about it until it was too late. But - I'm Helle, I live in Odense, Denmark, and I began my knitting journey part II (after a 20+ year break) a year ago, at the beginning of December, 2021. Here's to many more years of knitting, for you, too, if you're so inclined. Thank you for stopping by!

I’m a knitter and I love the sweaters you’ve made. But what I love most about this video is seeing an older woman sharing her passions. I’m turning 40 this year, and it’s by no means the end of the road. But the internet prizes young creators, and it’s harder to find women over 40 to look up to as I enter this new chapter. Watching you talk about your knitting feels like having coffee with a sister or friend in her beautiful home. Thank you for sharing. Mange tak!
Oh, I agree so much, and it’s crazy it should be frowned upon that we are older: we also (surely) have more experience, maybe even wisdom, and that can be a gift, too 💖
Agree with this so much!!
I agree! I love being numbered now among women 50+ who are lovely creative matriarchs who have come into our own, living the dreams of our imaginations, and not blown about by the trends.
Very well-said, I couldn’t agree more. It’s time that women at +40 take back their presence on social media! And we need to support them!
I'm almost 30 and it's comforting seeing older women. I can't explain what I'm thinking because I'm French and I don't have the proper words to express myself. But thank you for your videos ❤
I agree with a lot of the comments it is lovely to see an older knitter like me who gave up then went back. Xx
Gorgeous Gorgeous Gorgeous! I love your aesthetic. So many of the sweaters you knit are either in my queue or my favorites. I’m so happy that you showed yourself wearing them as it helped me to see how they drape on the body. Thank you TH-cam algorithm for suggesting your knitting episodes to me. Your knitting journey sounds so much like my own. Repicked up my needles after over 20+ years and oh my the knitting world has changed. I’m so excited to learn and explore all this craft offers!
Thank you so much for your comment - delightful on so many levels😍 Thrilled to know your knitting journey is similar to mine and that we share a lot of favourite patterns. I agree - so much has happened within this craft; it’s been a steep learning curve and I suspect I’ll never stop learning ☺️
I would have written the same. I picked up my needles, some lovely yarn and Stephen West patterns and haven’t looked back. 😂
Wonderful video. Love love your style of knitting.
You are an amazing knitter. I am blown away by how many you knitted in one year.
Many hours on my butt will do it ☺️
You are a delight to watch and listen to. Please accept this as a compliment - you are so normal😊❤
Haha, I know what you mean 🥰 And thank you.
I really hope this is not your only knitting podcast 🙏🏻 I absolutely love scandinavian knitters and their podcast videos
You are very capable knitter with an amazing choice of patterns and style ❤
I’ll try to make more - 3 so far ☺️
CONGRATULATIONS - beautiful work & beautiful Yarns & colours! I’m in awe of all you Europeans who do wonderful Podcasts when English is your second language. And all those wonderful Yarns we are starved of in Australia - thank goodness for DHL). Many thanks & looking forward to watching more.
Absolutely agree Nina. For a country that grows so much wool there is a sad lack of options for us knitters.
Couldn't agree more! 🌄
I loved watching! I am 51 and also just entering my 2nd era of knitting. I used to knit with my grandma, but mostly accessories and blankets. I am excited to be making garments now.
Вы очень хорошо вяжите! Рассказываете так, что вдохновляете, мотивируете! Очень понравились Ваши изделия. 👍
I think you were wise to make so many neutral color sweaters. They will be classic go to's and you have done a beautiful job on everything.
Sent this way from Pine Cottage knits and just absolutely love your vlog! The knits are superb and your whole aesthetic is so relaxing! Thank you so much for sharing your knitting journey!
Thank you to both you and The Pine Cottage 🥰❤️
On the whole wide internet, I finally "met" someone who has the same question about knitting *podcasts*. I absolutely loved your video ❤️
Haha, excellent 😍 and thanks!
You are an amazing knitter. But it’s funny when I had my children I also did not much knitting. Now I do morgen but your sweaters are too difficult for me. But they’re the most beautiful knitting I have ever seen ❤thank you so much!
You can learn - just take it one little step at a time 💪🤗
What a glorious collection of sweaters. I particularly liked the one with the bands of different stitch patterns. I’m adding that one to my Ravelry queue for sure! Re taupe - it’s not a blue grey, it’s a cross between grey and brown. It’s sometimes called ‘mole’, these days too.
As others have said, because I watch knitting videos, yours popped upon my feed also. And now I am watching your other videos also. Something I appreciate about your video compared to other knitting videos is that you do not ramble and you play calming music in the background. Most videos I watch for a few minutes, become trusted with the rambling and move on. So, thank you. Thank you too for taking time with beautiful photography and editing. Time consuming but so rewarding for the viewer.
Correction: not “trusted” but “frustrated”…
You touch on something I’ve sometimes felt a bit impatient with myself, so I’m very glad you noticed that I tried to avoid that. Let’s see if I can continue to do so 🤞🏻 Someone else mentioned, in no uncertaint terms, that she preferred it without the music, so I’m feeling a bit torn on that 🤷🏼♀️ Thanks so much for your comment 🙏🏻
Well, maybe a little music in between rather than all the way through could be a compromise? But…I would do whatever best represents you and your interests rather than pandering to ours. Thank you again for sharing your world and interests with us!
Stunning stitch work!
Beautiful knits and very inspiring!!
Such a pleasure seeing all your beautiful knits.
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
I am in complete awe of your knitting talent and patience. How do you sit that long to complete so many absolutely gorgeous creations. This is my first video of yours but I feel you are WAY more talented than me. Thank you for sharing.
Actually, I think it’s a kind of stubborn patience and not talent. I’m 100% sure you can do it, too, and actually I should balance it with more movement 😌💗
Impeccable! Absolutely LOVE all your knits.
Hello there! Loved all your garments and the fibres you used and look forward to your future projects.
Thanks so much 💞
Beautiful knits ❤

I love knitting (and crochet), and I total understand what you mean when you put your crafting on hold - I just starting knitting again. Absolutely gorgeous sweaters

Beautiful! Maybe one day I will get to that point 😀
You just popped up on my suggestions this morning, and oh what a treat to see all your beautiful knitting. I knit lots of socks but I want to knit more sweaters this year and yours are all so inspiring. Thank you for sharing! 😍
That makes me so happy to hear 😍 I get almost too inspired by various knits I see and should probably knit more socks etc and fewer sweaters. But oh.. it’s so fun and tempting. Happy knitting and thanks for stopping by 😊
Wow thank you an amazing journey with you & such information about the choices you made to knit with.
Gorgeous sweaters!

I love listening to you because you are so calming. I have knit for 66 years and you bring a lot of new perspectives to color choices and to combining types. Terrific job.
I am absolutely amazed at how many beautiful and intricate sweaters you've knitted in one year. AMAZING !!!!!
Wow! You're an incredibly talented knitter. Your workmanship is absolutely beautiful.

Love your beautiful sweaters. Almost wishing to live in Denmark all that lovely yarn too. Thank you for showing them. 🌄
Beautiful video and sweaters!!!
Love your choices in patterns and colors. Beautiful. Thank you for linking to your Ravelry, I have knitted once and crocheted a lot, but I want to make sweaters and cannot wait to start again!!
Omg! Your sweaters are all awesome!! The colors and yarns and patterns you have chosen are just perfect and so beautiful. So thoughtful of you to show them on. Seeing the fit is much better than a picture. You have inspired me to try more. I am fortunate not to have sensitive skin, however I have heart alpaca or baby alpaca, doesnt bother most people and good for making hats for babies. Thank you for a lovely podcast. I think I will watch them all.
Absolutely Stunning! A feast for the eyes! I love your blending of colors!
