Just love listening you , you are almost like a meditation to me, you inspire me learning and getting better in knitting. Can’t wait for your next video. 😊
Dear Martina, I’ve been very busy for the past month so I’m catching up on your lovely podcasts. Your striped cardigan is turning out beautifully, it will be so cozy when you are done! I was knitting on a new cast on (Pearl Cardigan) while watching. I’m making it with BC Garn baby alpaca and was thrilled you featured so many beautiful projects with this amazing yarn in this episode. I’m holding it with a strand of mohair and using 3.5mm needles, which is giving me a drapey but not too loose gauge. It took me a while to find the right project for this yarn. And it is SO soft. 😮 I cannot wait to have this garment. Your hug me home top will be incredibly luxurious - what a treat! And how amazing of your sister to bring you that ❤. There is no need to „explain“ why you do things the way you do. I love it that you play yarn chicken and how creative it makes you. I recently lost at yarn chicken and took the easy way out by ordering 1 more ball. It’s a gift for my husband and I did not think he would appreciate having 3/4 sleeves or a stripe somewhere…. But I did find myself wondering, what would Martina do 😂? Your snowy hills are beautiful, thank you for sharing!
The cardigan with the cup colours is super beautiful, don’t unravel it !!! I love the ribbing :-) you don’t have to justify your yarn chicken games :-) I do exactly like you and many other knitters are doing the same 🐓🐓🐓🐓
You have such a lovely warm, kind energy! I feel so relaxed watching:) I also love the sleeve of your long cardigan! I think the long ribbing looks really cool
Mika's little guitar song would be a great intro to your podcast 🌷 Love your knitting vlogs/podcasts they're very inspiring🌹 I get so many ideas for lovely yarn and patterns to use and you inspire me to also be "wild" with my knitting 🌿💕
Hello knitting friend, your podcast brings me such joy because I can feel how much you love your craft. Never apologize for your creative spirit leading you on a yarn journey. Anyone can follow a knitting pattern, but you have taken knitting a step further and are creating a one of a kind piece of artwork, really. You say I’m playing yarn chicken….well, whatever you want to call it, but when we are forced to think outside the box, outside the pattern we are in a realm of creating something unique to the world! Picasso didn’t run out an buy a new green paint tube…he said ok, what can I mix to create a green of the fields the way my eye sees the green….voilà masterpiece was born! Continue your joy in whatever you make. I also enjoy hearing about Italy in your podcasts. I look forward to learning more from you. Happy knitting, gayle in Stillwater MInnesota, USA…it’s cold here too❤️
I absolutely loved to read your comment, I screenshoted it and shared it with friends and family. Thank you so so dearly for your presence here and for thinking outside the box. I truly wish you so much joy and abundance 🤎💕
Thank you for bringing joy, and sharing your beautiful creations. Martina 💚 You invite us so genuinely to sit with you. I adore spending time here. Thank you 🙏
I enjoy seeing your creativity. May l suggest the following go with your idea of making a cowl. I would use the dark grey only on the cuffs on your grey project. If you have enough yarn perhaps balloon the sleeve bottom & keep the long cuffs on your picket fence cardigan
You're so adorable and a beautiful knitter - love your podcast. I feel like I'm in Italy visiting with you - thank you for your warmth and caring so much about your journey. ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Martina, I loved this episode a lot! (just like all of them all the time ;)) I reaaally love those sleeves on the self-drafted cardigan! I saw your wip parade video and I was wondering how you were going to finish it without having enough grey. But you're creativity definitely made you go in the right direction, it looks so so good! xxxxx
As always, a lovely video! I am curious to see how your Tulip Sweater turns out. I have dark brown manchelopis yarn and am thinking of holding it double with a dark green one, probably getting a similar effect as your used yarn 😀👍
Hi, its early, very early here in Auckland... hanging around in bed knitting. We had so much rain in few hours the earth below started to fill with water. The usually quiet underground springs came alive and the earth expanded with water.... it coudn't drain away. It wasn't too bad, just mainly property damage, which can be fixed - I think 3 people lost their lives, 2 of them was trying to do white water rafting and got carried away and one persons house came down a land slip. Most people are ok, the flooding was localised - we have to work together to help each other clean up and the sun will come out in few days and dry us... it is summer here!!!
Oh, I'm very sorry to hear that.. I hope your family and you are ok and I hope the weather will stabilize and the Sun and breeze will make you feel at peace again. Sending you beautiful and joyful energies🤍
yes you are the Queen of yarn chicken👸 it's so wonderful to explore your own creativity like this🧚♂I am the Queen of food chicken😅it´s so much fun to explore all the aromas and combine them for a delicious meal!
oh my gosh, you are wearing my bee earrings. How amazing that we both have the same ones but live in different countires!!!!!!!! I love that! I also don't wear hats -they look terrible on me -but anything would look good on you!
Ciao!! Ti seguo sempre con piacere, piano piano sto prendendo mano con i ferri, ora sto imparando a fare i calzini! E ho un maglione da terminare, con tre bimbe e un bovarone che vive con noi in appartamento il tempo è poco ma la soddisfazione di veder crescere il proprio progetto è tanta! Ciao da Martina ♥️
I could not agree more, Martina. I used to be a jeweler. whenever I’ve seen a design I have said to myself, “I could make that,!” Not, I have to have that. The making happens and the creativity comes full force with firm my hands. It becomes something so precious and beautiful that I am more proud to have because it was more than writing a check or pulling out my credit cad. Buying yarn is the beginning. Having yarn and having no projects is sad. So make make make to your hearts delight. I love the long raglan cardigan you self drafted. Its awesome.
So beautiful, thank you for sharing your thoughts. I hope you're still creating jewelries for yourself or for the world..your work seems so inspiring 🤎🤍
@@wegrowild id love to send you a calendar competition I developed and sponsored for polymer clay artists 22 h years ago. It was the first competition in print. We had a gallery show. Im retired from my career as a n metal and clay and glass artist jeweler, I made evening bags and home decor. Im now knitting mostly. And other fiber things. I dont have images online anywhere., i need someone to build websites. Of past art if thats a thing? Current making too. Thanks for encouragement. Keep on keeping on as we say in America.
@@TrudySchwartzBurrill oh then you definitely deserve some slow and peaceful and creative times🤍 I don't know what a calendar competition is but it sounds interesting 💜
Oh about milkweed, I read that the yarn is light fingering but yours doesn't look like light fingering. Did you use something a bit thicker like 4ply and what size needles? (I'd love to make it but I don't have light fingering and I want something thicker so it doesn't take me too long!!!!!!!!!)
Exactly, my project was knitted with needles size 4 mm in a DK yarn. I simply knitted 1 size smaller than I would if I had to knit it in the" right" gauge/yarn🤍 I like to modify patterns to suit my yarn choices 🤍
Random Swede how i found u who knows, u should sell that yeallow shirt fucking dragon skin boys will Love it, Love u both 😁 never knew it snow in italy and u mit a hat lol luuuv it
Just love listening you , you are almost like a meditation to me, you inspire me learning and getting better in knitting. Can’t wait for your next video. 😊
Oh thank you💜your support means a lot to me🙏🏼🤍

I like the guitar music! Live music adds so much to the beautiful projects you show us. Happy knitting with the yarn chickens!

I love your stitch markers! I use the little pieces of yarn as stitch markers all the time 😊
Your intro was beautiful. Makes me look forward to warmer weather and time spent in the garden. You are precious!!
🤗thank you so much🤍Micke helped me out with the music for the intro🤎

I just love your approach to knitting - taking chances and see how it goes. I love that little drawing of a flower plant on the wall behind you.
