Love Love LOVE the dress,,,it's so you, Jana, " the Mother of all Hipsters"...it's perfect for dancing around the Midsummer fire under the moonlight ! So happy to see the adorable Battenburg again...so sweet...Congrats on all things worth celebrating Enjoy !
I celebrated Midsummer with drinking my coffee while watching the sunrise outside, went for a long hike and knit by the river.
Hi Jana. It is Monday, June 26, 2023, and it is a very hot day in Raleigh, NC, where I live. It is 90F and you have to convert it to Celsius. I like your new multi-colored dress. You did a good job finishing it in two weeks. It is a lot of work. It looks beautiful on you. I hope your kids and hubby and you are doing well. I like the way you took an elastic cable to make the ruffle which makes the dress fit well. I finished the multi-colored lap blanket all knit in garter stitches and it feels so nicely when I cover my legs. I am happy how it came out and I used a lot of yarn that I have to make it. I am working now on a full blanket 150 stitches in garter stitches and I am more than half done. It also have used a lot of yarn that is in my collection, and I am glad that it is used for good use. I am enjoying your older videos that you made, and they make my day. All your knitting items look great. Take Care.
Here in France we celebrate music on Midsummer day. It's not a bank holiday. Many concerts in the open, bands in the streets, we love that. 🎉
Midsummer is such a romantic word 😉three years 🎉Frannie looks fabulous in her summer dress 👗 😊and so do you !!!😊
Happy midsummer. We should all enjoy the bright summer nights. happy knitting
Congratulations Janna for everything, your wedding anniversary, your podcast anniversary and finishing your beautiful dress for your midsummer celebrations. I love the neon colours you’ve been working with lately. Thank you for all you do!
You could call your beautiful yarn that you dyed ‘Midsummer’ or midsummer pastels.
Enjoyed early morning chirps and your new cast ons. Enjoy Summer time.
I had a most wonderful Midsummer in Lapland. The sun was shining through the night, we swam in a little beutiful lake, went hiking, had very good smoked salmon and new potatoes for the dinner... 😊
Awh Franny is so cute ; the perfect friend to spend Midsummer evenings , 😊 x
Congratulations for 3 years podcasts. Thank you for colorful podcasts . My daughter was born on midsummer.😊😊
We had a lovely evening on midsummer. We went to visit my brother and sister in law and had a bit of a feast together. Then we went and enjoyed a lovely sauna as well. Perfect relaxed and fun midsummer celebration.
Greetings from Wisconsin. We. don’t celebrate Midsummer. We celebrate Independence Day on the 4th of July with fireworks over Lake Michigan and picnics with family and friends. Love your new dress and sweater. Thank you for three years of podcasts. Wishing you many more. Take care.
❤❤❤I spend the midsummer evening together with 32 happy students. So so funny evening.
❤❤❤
We celebrate midsummer too. Midsummer is one of the most festive days. Love the long days of midsummer. And I love your yarn. Thank you Jana
Jana, nice to hear that you celebrate Midsummer in Finland. Of all the podcasts I watch, yours is most definitely my favorite. Thank you for sharing your art and your life with all of us.
I work part time at our local LYS, and a couple of weeks ago a lady who was vacationing here stopped in, looking for some local yarn. We got to talking about podcasts we watch and were very excited to find that we both love you.
Thanks again, you make my day bright and I so look forward to your podcasts
As a child in Wales we did more for Midsummer than we do now. I don't think children around us now even noticed, but I did.
In Sweden we celebrate midsummer on a friday every year. Thank you for excellent knitting company.
Jana,🎉 Congratulations on 3 years of podcasting!Your Dress is just Beautiful! It looks so nice on you! Glad you are enjoying Midsummer!
I look forward to my visits with you! Thanks for sharing your lovely projects and flower garden with us! 🎉Happy Anniversary🎉 too!🦋💝
I love your grannies in a row! We don’t have midsummer here, but it would be lovely to sit and knit with you in your beautiful yarn. Thank you for sharing your knitting and your life.
It is storming here for our midsummer. Which I absolutely love. Drinking an ice coffee, watching the podcast and knitting
I love your podcasts weather it is winter, spring, fall or “Midsummer”. So nice to sit with you in your yard. Enjoy the rest of your summer.
I always celebrated midsummer, is ma wedding anniversary. With my husband we go every year to the place where we got married, have small champagne and analysts our past year and what we wanted accomplished in year ahead. When we planned our wedding we chose midsummer-the longest and most beautiful day of the year ❤
Down here in Australia we're having midwinter, not midsummer. Every three or so days the sun sets a minute later. Thanks for another delightful podcast. I really look forward to each one.
Midsummer dancer socks are a perfect midsummer cast on! 🤩
How nice to hear about your midsummer celebration. It's not a holiday or even an event that many people here in the USA know about. But I lived in Germany for 13 years where I have very fond memories of midsummer. When my daughter was in Kindergarten we used to all hike out of the village and have a big bonfire and then kids 'cooked' Stockbrot on big sticks in the fire. Such great memories! Your dress is wonderful!
I had a very relaxing and quiet Midsummer weekend. It was fabulous and just what I needed. That neon sock set of yours is like a dream. No wonder so many covets it, me included. Thanks for all the colorful inspiration you give us in abundance. Happy Summer!!
Our midsummer also was relaxing. We were at home. I just knitted and watched movies. We had lot of rain and it was very cold so that’s why knitting and movies was the way to celebrate this year.
I wish we celebrated midsummer here. Hi from the eastern US, in Maryland. Thank you for sharing joy!
Midsummer. Your flowers are beautiful. Love the yarn your are making your shawl out of, very very beautiful.
For us here in Portugal your midsummer is actually the start of our summer ❤😊
Midsummer here matches up with Canada Day, so I celebrate that with my family with festivities that our town hosts. It's always a lot of fun.
Wish it was MIDSUMMER! Just really dislike the heat!! I love all your projects, so fresh and pretty!! You have inspired me to track down all my neons!!❤❤ Best line...you are the MOTHER OF ALL HIPSTERS!😂😂😂
Midsummer needs new potatoes and strawberries. I spent many wonderful midsummer's when l lived in Sweden
We don’t celebrate Midsummer where I live, but I think we need to start🎉 it’s a magical time of year-so much light late into the evenings.
Midsummer is one of my favorite holidays. Usually we have a big celebration in our garden with a Maypole, garlands for our hair and lots of good summery food. This year we did not celebrate and I really missed it. Thanks for the special podcast! 🌸🌷🌼
Thanks for the episode! For me the summer starts from midsummer some how. 💐☀️ People are enjoying the midsummer weekend with friends and family, eating good food etc. Lovely time!
Hello, moi Jana and Franny, it isn't mid summer here. I live in the southern hemisphere in Australia. Happy Podiversary! Thank you for guiding us in knitting since 2020,
Much appreciated! :) :)
For me, midsummer evokes straight away the Midsomer Murders series in the UK, that I love so much to watch. Do you know them Jana? In summer, when it’s too hot outside, you can sit and watch an episode with a nice cup of tea, your children and family around and some yarn and a pair of needles in your hands. What else do we want ? Neon kisses from Alsace !
LOL!!! Me too! Gotta love Midsomer Murders.
Love these shows!
Love that show too. Seen all seasons. 😊
Sounds like a perfect way to hide away from the heat or cold as it is for me at this time in Australia ❤
Happy Midsummer I'm from the US and I love spending my Sunday afternoons watching your podcast while I knit.
The Dress is beautiful and looks wonderful on you. You make such gorgeous things.
Happy podiversary! We celebrated Midsummer traditionally in our summer cottage ☀️
The yarn you dyed recently- I’ve seen that color before- in summer skies with clouds and sun at the sunset over the coast of Baltic sea. It’s still before my eyes - the sight was unforgettable. Midsummer..
I love the idea of Midsummer. What a great celebration! Love spending time watching your podcasts. You are so enthusiastic.
Dear Jana, just wrote a comment requesting you put together a neon set for the Granny socks……should have waited until the end of your episode. 🙃 Wishing you every success for your yarn festival and have a happy and healthy summer. ❤
Midsummer is a wonderful time to celebrate the summer, loud or rather quiet... Sunny greetings Pe
Both you and Frannie are looking beautiful and definitely fashionable, and your Midsummer celebration sounds just lovely! ❤
Dear Jana, happy podiversary! Can‘t believe it has been three years already. I enjoyed every minute. So thanks a lot for keeping me company while knitting for all those times and for sharing your time, life and wonderful stories with all of us. ❤ Here in Germany we usually don‘t celebrate midsummer, but it‘s nice to hear about the celebrations in other contries.
Our midsummer weather has been just lovely your dress is stunning you are just so beautiful and kind
Thanks Jana for the podcast. You can keep the mozzies thank you. 🙁
I love your cloudbow dress! We don’t really celebrate Midsummer here in the UK but we do celebrate the Summer Solstice on 21 June. I would love to win your beautiful mini set. Congratulations on your 3rd anniversary and thank you for all your lovely episodes ❤❤❤
Hi Jana, I love it when you film outdoors in your yard. The flowers are beautiful and your yard looks great. Oh but the mosquitoes. Our son lives in Alaska and your outdoorslooks like his area, along with the mosquitoes. I am so fond of your spring colored yarn hanks. Also your dress is perfect for the midsummer activities you are enjoying. Keep up the great work. May God smile down on you.
We don't celebrate Midsummer here. I always enjoy your podcasts!
Love you Jana love, Midsummer knitting❤️
Your Midsummer give-a-way is very generous! Congratulations on your 3rd Pod-versary!
I also married near midsummer, the 25th. We will have a quiet day at home. The smoke from the fires have finally cleared . Lovely to watch you again.
Happy Midsummer! Who needs a fire when you have that lovely swing to curl up in & watch (or not) the sun set. Very pretty yarns. You’re gonna make someone very happy, so thank you for sharing. ❤️
Here in Indiana we do not celebrate midsummer. We do celebrate the 4th of July. Congratulations on 3 years. Enjoy your podcasts so much.
Happy Midsummer Jana.
It’s not something we normally celebrate in the UK but I was very pleased to take our dog for a walk at 10.30pm and it was still light 😊
I think you should call your new special yarn midsummer. So beautiful!!
Love all your podcasts. I live in the US, and was not aware of the Midsummer celebration, until last Wed. My granddaughter is in Paris, and there was a big street festival outside their hotel. They found out it was the Midsummer celebration. I turned on your podcast this morning and you are also talking about Midsummer. What a coincidence. To hear about it twice in one week, and didn’t know about it previously.
Hugs from Missouri, USA
Midsummer is also my wedding anniversary. We are 16 years married this year. We took a lovely sunshine drive along the coast and stopped for dinner on the way home. It was a beautiful day. 😊
Happy anniversary to you both.
Fantastic, as usual Jana. 🎉🎉🎉 We celebrate midsummer night with bonfires!! They say it is a magic night. ❤❤
Hi! My daughter and I love, love, love your channel! We love your whimsical style and sense of humor. We have no midsummer, as such in the US, but just celebrated our Independence Day. We watched fireworks through the back window, across the soybean field.
Hi! Happy Misummer days too! In Poland we had traditions of Midsummer Night, young people met by the rivers, girls woven wreaths which were floated in the water together with candles. Now it is bit forgotten, unfortunately.. I was lucky to be on polish mountains and spent this beautiful time with my BFF❤️ All the Best for you, Marlena
Thank you for sharing your lovely knits, I especially like the ruffled socks you are currently working on. Midsummer is not celebrated here in the U.S. It would be a wonderful celebration for all. We do celebrate the 4th of July, our independence with parades, fireworks and cookouts.
Midsummer is allways a little bit sad, because now, the winter is comming. But the day was wonderful .
Midsummer is not officially celebrated in Canada. It is one of my favourite times of the year. Usually the grass is still green. Not this year. Flowers are out and the garden is beautiful. Loved seeing your flowers.
Finland! We have a Unicorn! 🌸✨🦄✨🌸
I love your podcast style and love to hear about your midsummer
We don't have that here
Thank you so much for sharing your time and projects with us
I spent midsummer on a narrow boat in the uk . Knitting and watching the wildlife. Congratulations on your 3rd year of entertaining us with your lovely crafts ❤
In the US we celebrate the 4th of July which is our Independence Day celebration. It is usually a time for parades, fireworks, and grilling out with friends and family. I am loving your neon knitting streak!
Midsummer to me is lemon cake with strawberries and whipped cream while sitting on the porch knitting. 🌸
My midsummer party was to have a quick training session with my dogs and then I went to heat up our sauna by the lake and just sat there alone and listened to the summer night.
Wishing you the loveliest other half of the summer! 😄
The fibre I am spinning is a lot like your Midsummer colorway. These colors makes me smile! Neon yellow, purple, lilac, pink…
Jana
I always look forward to your podcast. I love your color choices for your projects. You have inspired me to add neon colors into my knitting. It sounds like you had a lovely Midsummer.
Rainy midsummer in middle of Finland. Great knitting time 😉
We don’t celebrate midsummer in Switzerland, but I always enjoy the longest day in the year - but it’s not as long as your day😊
Happy Midsummer! I celebrated by staying up later than usual, knitting my first jumper : )
We had a very low-key midsummer, we just stayed at home and made pizza. It was lovely. 😊
Everything in this episode was so beautiful! Would you consider calling the new yarn Midsummer Lights?
Your new socks are really beautiful such a summery colour. What are paetrons ?
Your dress looks lovely on you. The cardigan looks so summery Your car knitting looks good. I love your Bertie and Poppy Bags. The specially dyed yarn is awesome. Heippa ❤😊
Ohhhh the yarn you made with your patrons is wonderful! Here in Washington USA our midsummer is cool for a few days then hot for a few days. The weather doesn't know what to do! But vegetable plants are blooming and soon we will have tomatoes, cucumbers etc. Thanks you your Podcast love it!
Great episode 🧶✨
The buttons look perfect on your cardigan. Not green at all!
The dress is so beautiful and suits you perfectly!
The ranouculous do not like frost, I guess finish winter was too cold for them!
I love the outdoor video - you look more energetic there, even if it is because of the Moskitos😜
Love from 🇨🇭
Midsummer is lovely here in Southern California. However, we don’t get celebrate officially here either. 🎉 I love to see all of your beautiful knits, and to hear your stories. ❤
LOVE THAT DRESS 🤩
My midsummer was very calm, my kids are almost adults so they didn't want to join us at our summer cottage. I spent my midsummer swimming, rowing and knitting, and of course eating grilled food 🌞
Your dress is perfect for Midsummer. thanks for sharing Fannie, such a fashion plate.
Your cloudbow dress is absolutely stunning!! I can see why you knit it so fast - perfect for a midsummer celebration xxx
Midsummer for you means the shortest day has arrived here in New Zealand and we are back on our way to summer again... i enjoyed watching you frolic in you garden in your beautiful dress... loving on Frannies new look too.
Your video totally captures all the vibes of Midsummer with those vibrant neon colors!
Hello sweetheart. Happy Midsomer. We have it on the 21st/22nd. But no holidays from work.
Today it is going to reach 30° and the pollen count is ridiculously high. So my Asthma is not doing good.
So, I am mostly staying home to avoid the weather.
We can no longer ignore the warming of our planet.😢
I love your socks. I always have hot feet, so I always have bare feet in my home, but I still want to knit some. I could put them in a frame, just to cheer up my wall😂😂😂.
The mosquitoes eat me alive and I have tried everything to stop it but nothing works.
I have certainly eaten far too many strawberries but the season is short,so I am eating as many berries as I can. Out of season fruit from across the world in Winter are not good for the planet so I try to avoid them.
You are going to be very busy dyeing yarn for your show but try to sit in the light if you get chance.
Love to you all. ❤️

Hi Jana! I thoroughly enjoy your episodes. I love your 👗. It looks so nice. Happy Midsummer. Your cardigan is beautiful too. Love the colors. Take care and happy knitting and crochet. Thanks for the episodes. They make me smile.
We are aware of Midsummer but do not celebrate it. Lovely episode. Gorgeous dress.
I love your dress it is wonderful and a happy Midsummer to you. Unfortunately, last week I was leaving a yarn shop with a bag full of wonderful yarn and fell. I now have a broken arm and can’t knit for a while but I am enjoying watching my TH-cam friends thank you for bringing some joy in my life right now.
In Norway we celebrate midsummer june 23rd. Many of us make bonfires, and spend time with family and friends.
I have never used the word midsummer in a sentence before, so when I heard the giveaway rule I started giggling because it reminded me of my students who did not know the meaning of a word but were asked to use it in a sentence and their solution was something like this: "Midsummer is quite a long and interesting looking word." 😂
I’d love to experience a midsummer celebration. Here in the USA we celebrate Independence Day, on the 4th of July, with cookouts and fireworks. It’s different, but still a great reason to spend time with family and friends. P.S. Your dress is fabulous!!!
I spent my midsummer at the cottage. Parhaita hetkiä oli kun sai hetkisen neuloa ja katsoa podcastiä. Taas pää täynnä uusia ideoita. Kiitos niistä. ❤🧶
Oh wow, in love with your beautifull dress!! Have a good MIDSUMMER! 🙂
I love seeing your garden in Midsummer - I'm in New Zealand - so it is Winter here - it's great to "travel" to your Summer garden! Congratulations on 3 years of a fantastic podcast!
Franny is especially beautiful in this outfit! So as you, Jana! Your mohair dress is out of this world! Now I want the same. Have to find mohair that won't eat me alive ❤
Thank you so much! I think Isager and Ito are the softest ones out there.
@FinnishKnittingStories thank you for suggestion, I will try them ♡
