I have not knit pressed flowers, BUT I would watch 24/7 live stream if you knitting. I wish I could play your salary 😂
😄😄😄❤️
My jaw dropped when you showed the second pressed flower shawl. It's very beautiful!
Thank you so much! 😊❤️
Your Pressed Flowers Shawl is FANTASTIC! I love everything that you make, but it steals the show. Wow! As for the bumpy ride recently, hopefully next week will be smoother for you ;) Thank you for taking the time to make videos for Patreon and for TH-cam even though you have to deal with bots, have a family & are a business owner. You are one talented lady & quite inspiring! Have fun with the gravel haha and enjoy the weekend 🥰
Thank you so much! ❤️
Your Pressed Flowers shawl is to die for!!!
❤️
It's so much fun when you are giggly from lack of sleep + caffeine. I always like to be relaxed without distractions so I don't miss anything. Your finished objects always look way better than the items one can get in a store. I endeavour to get to a place with my knitting where I can see an item in a pattern or in my head and start making it to completion. Being newer to this phase of my knitting journey has allowed me to stay monogamous, but I know that will change soon. I see my personal basket of UFOs somewhere in my future. 😯Thank you for sharing your beautiful makes with us, Jana. ❤
Thank you Jana, another fa ulous podcast. Your Selna sweater is lovely, loving all your other makes too Xx
Your pressed flowers shawl looks amazing!! Haha yes I'm definitely for the live streaming knitting - that sounds far better than live gaming 😂
Yes, sign me up for your 24/7 knitting. I could watch you all day. You make me laugh so much and I love your knits. I’m working on a Rowan knitalong festive blanket. It’s made in squares using Rowan felted tweed. My first knitalong and so enjoyable. Keeping my stress at bay during a long long wait for moving house and my yarn is packed. Can’t wait to be released from boxes. X
O.M.G! Your colors in your pressed flowers is to die for!!!
❤️
Jana there were about 4 awful interrupting Ads this podcast, just fyi... you usually dont ever have ads...I love that lavendar boucle top!
Delightful episode Jana. All the beautiful things!! Your pressed flowers is so lovely. Have a good week sweetheart x
Jana, you’re Pressed Flowers is SPECTACULAR!!!
Thank you! ❤️
Oh, I love your Xiao Mai, both pattern and choice of yarns! It's definitely a piece of statement! I can't wait to see you wearing it!
I love the new colours for pressed flowers. Nana deserves the love. Have a great week. Love s of knitting
Your pressed flowers shawl is beautiful! And so are you, from the inside and out 💕🧶
Jana, what a lovely new shawl!!! ❤❤❤ I can't wait this is finished, absolutely, that's a peace of art
❤️
Love your two finished tops and Nanna is so cute especially with her hat and basket. Your pressed flowers shawl is wow 🤩 I think the dark yarn really shows of your lovely hand dyed yarn. It was good to hear Your daughter is enjoying her after school care and I hope you manage to get some sleep.
Thank you so much! ❤️
Hi Jana. I finished three items lately; one I told you about, and it is the garter blanket for my granddaughter in stripes of lavender and white that I finished in three weeks working on it continually, and my granddaughter took it to the University where she left to go to last Friday. It turned out beautifully. She arrived at the University and she did a Face Time with me; and she showed me the blanket on her bed. It is rewarding to me that she likes it and will use it. I also finished two shawls in the pattern by the name of Simone Shawl that I knitted another one that came in a kit in the Rios Lettuce color. The new shawls are beautiful, one in a swirl of green and blue colors, and the drape is nice and the other one is in different grey colors and different burgundy colors. I like how both of them came out. They are for me when the weather gets colder. I a working on a blanket now in multiple colors that I started before. I like the top you knitted. The colors look good on you. Knitting is fun, and I enjoy doing it and creating knits. I wish you and your family all the best. Take Care. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you for your lovely stories! Take care! ❤️
Thanks for a very lovely episode as always. I love your thinking.... "quit work and sit and knit all day" I would not lie, that thought crossed my mind a million times Ha!ha!Ha! So, I take my knitting to the office and knit during my lunch break or any other break I get.😀
😄❤️
Yes , Knit live all day. I would love it! Love to you and Family, Jana. I haven't knit anything in the knit flowers collection. The Brioche sweater is do beautiful, I love purple!!
*so beautiful!!
Omg your shawl is amazing🥰
OMG! I would totally watch live knitting stream - especially if the needles click 😊
Mine always click! 😄
@@FinnishKnittingStories 🤣 wonderful!!
Brilliant pairing in Pressed Flowers shawl! Love it.
Wow,,,!!!is it the star of the show,,,!!!love the shawl,,,!!,so much,,,,
Awesome episode,,,,
ElaineXoxo 🏡
Oh, the jacket, Jana. I, too, can hardly wait to see it finished. Gorgeous! And Pressed Flowers, so pretty. I’m thinking I may make the cowl as the reverse side of the pattern will be hidden. xo
The darker background in your pressed flowers really does make a difference. To me, I think of chocolate covered candies. t is lovely and I can see why you want to work on it and enjoy the process. Maybe the process will help you relax and level out from the rest of the daily stress. Could we have a STITCH stream? The idea made me laugh.
😄 Thank you so much! ❤️
I fancy your 'nothing fancy' shirt you were wearing in the beginning! 🥰 And I love the contrast color you found for the pressed flowers shawl. It was nice to watch your video on this calm Sunday morning. Thanks!
Lovely colours and yes, that cardigan is a work of art! Also what amazing difference between the white yarn and purple coffee one for your pressed flowers. So So beautiful!. Love your colour choices ! my son follows streamers that do politics or games or just chatting. I would love a knitting 24/7 so so good !
The pressed flower shawl looks beautiful. Both of the sweaters you wore today are stunning Happy knitting !!
I love the coffee colour contrast for your pressed flowers, inspired choice. Please don’t broadcast all day, how would I find time to watch 😂❤
😄😄😄 I don't think my family would enjoy that idea either.
I have thought about making
the pressed flowers. Right now I am knitting the Snowy Forest sweater. I am loving it and find it hard to put down. I love hearing the joy in your voice and words about your new shawl, because this is exactly the way I feel about my sweater. Wishing you and your family a great and healthy week.
Oh, I loved knitting my Snowy Forest too! It was my special cozy winter knit a couple of years ago. And I cast it on New Year's Eve. 😊
dont quit your job, i felt the same way before i retire and now i can knit all day and there are days that i do, but some days i miss my job. i want to knit pressed flowers its like magic. yours will be gorgeous!!
Oh, I love my job and wouldn't quit! I'm just dreaming about a proper day off with lots of knitting. 😄 At the moment I get short bits here and there, between daily life and chores. 😄
The handspun does look great with the dark purple in the pressed flowers. Gorgeous! (not white, though) LOL!
Thank you! It's not my usual colour scheme, but the moodiness is starting to grow on me. I just need to figure out another white shawl for later.
Live streaming knitting - I love it! lol!! Pressed Flowers is so pretty - I really want to make a cowl in the pattern. Nanna is fabulous. She'd look so cute in a dress made out of Pressed Flowers pattern.
Pressed Flowers cowl would be lovely! 🥰
I absolutely love your color choice for the pressed flowers shawl, so lovely.
Thank you! 😊
Jana your self drafted tee is Beautiful ❤ and your pressed flowers shawl is just lovely. I was expecting to see your progress.on the xiao may because that is soo much work but it is turning gorgeous
Pressed flowers shawl is stunning - great move with the coffee ❤
Thank you! I'm also very happy with that decision. 😊❤️
Oh....been sitting on the pressed flowers pattern for awhile, this might just get me to cast on! So pretty. I always love your colors.
I am so lucky today, it's a bit smoky here in the US inland NW! But, it's finally cooler and since I can't go outside I have a full day of knitting and knitting podcasts to luxuriate with! So happy to see yours this morning, it's always at the top of my watch list❤.
Sounds lovely! Enjoy your day! ❤️
I've had that pattern since 2020 and just now cast it on... 😄
I love your 'winging it' sweater and Pressed Flowers shawl! I'm a gamer and I love watching gaming streams while I'm knitting. I finished watching an 8-part gaming stream last night and so sad when it came to an end 😔
Идеальный цвет и идеальное сочетание букле и рыхлой вязки. В данном случае, мне кажется, твое свободное вязание сыграло на руку. Прекрасный и красивый эффект получился. Иначе, ты бы превратилась в медвежонка.
Nope I haven’t knit pressed flowers but golly yours is the most beautiful version I’ve seen!! Great job recognizing you need to switch ( I had zero faith that color was going to work and then to my surprise whhhhaaattt??? Yummy yummy.
Your pressed flowers is lovely. I made the hat and love it.
Sure, I'd put on a 24-hour knit with you!
I have not knit the pressed flowers, but yours is going to be gorgeous, and I may need to cast one on.
I also love the pressed flowers. Been thinking about the cardi mostly but wait- there are socks too?! Maybe matching socks and cardi. When I find the perfect yarns AND finally finish this cardigan that might be an option. Take care❤
Yay for streaming your knitting😀🙌🏻
Hello Jana, I love the pressed flowers design, not being a shawl girl I would knit the jumper. Beautiful colours you have chosen. 🧶🙋🏼♀
Thank you! I'm 100% a shawl girl, so I started with that. But the jumper is calling my name as well. 😄❤️
Pressed flowers are beautiful of course 😍And i really like your cardigan from pink book, is lovely. See you, bye😍
🩷
That top is gorgeous..it IS special.
Your pressed flowers is beautiful! 😍 The handspun looks amazing in it
I’ve loved the “pressed flowers” since it was published but have not done any. Yours is beautiful, as expected. Good luck with the yard work😊
Wow on passed flowers! I know it’s not your plan it it is a lovely combo.
Hope you have a healthy household this week.
Good luck with the gravel. You made me laugh about where life takes you. Somehow when playing with Barbies years ago, she never came with laundry to fold or gravel and snow shovels!😂😂😂
Oops * pressed☺
Right? Adulting is so overrated! 😄
Love your pressed flowers shawl! And everything else is lovely also.
Thank you! ❤️
I had managed to resist the pressed flower mania, but that shawl did me in, now I am off to get the pattern. As always your content, projects and video ate superb. Thank you.
The top you are wearing is so nice and bright. Your Sella top in blue is lovely it appeals to me.
Thank you so much! ❤️
@@FinnishKnittingStories I had not finished looking at the podcast but the pressed flowers shawl will look fabulous. I just found that I have left
My reading glasses at my son's house. Too much Birthday Party 🎉
I love the colors of your pressed flowers! ❤
Hi Jana. The blue sweater is gorgeous. It fits you well. Take Care. 😊
Thank you! 😊
Oh, I love the colors of your pressed flowers shawl, I'm currently knitting the pressed flower socks in green and yellow, it's really a joyful pattern!
I love the pressed flowers, I haven’t knit any. I finished the huge knit temperature blanket to commemorate my youngest senior year and two berets the last few days.
I love your pressed flower shawl ❤ love the collar combination... i would love to knit that shawl one day 😘
I adore the colors of your pressed flowers shawl!
Those pressed flowers are beautiful ! Nice colours 🌺
Thank you!
The new version of your pressed flowers shawl is fabulous--and I guessed the color correctly (yay me 😂) That Seela looks so comfortable...I love the 24-hour live stream knitting....we probably would tune in. Could be relaxing and someone to knit with? 😉 Thanks for the episode--as always fun to watch/listen to! Good luck with the digger and the school week (I have the creases too from the teens and new school year). Happy knitting!
😄😄😄❤️
Your pressed flowers are stunning! Excellent decision ripping out. This year we ordered gravel for our 1/3 mile driveway too AND put on a new roof. Feeling VERY grown up. 😂
Oh, yes, nothing makes you feel like a proper adult as ordering gravel. 😄
🔔🔔People make sure you have the YT notifications ON!🔔🔔 Jana might actually go on a live knitting stream anytime! 🎉😂
Full dislosure: I do not know or predict anything, just dreaming 😂
You're so funny! 😄 I might actually do it someday. 😄
Hi Jana, I have been following your TH-cam videos for a while and I love your bubbly personality. I love all your projects unfortunately I do not have so much time to make all of them. But you are giving me great ideas of what I could make…. Thanks ! Greetings from Connecticut. 😊❤
Thank you so much! Time is the biggest issue for most of us. 😄❤️
Your pressed flowers shawl is gorgeous. Love the colors. You are a delight to listen to. You need to have a tee-shirt made with your motto on it-- I Love it!!!
Your shawl wil be amazing. Your self spun yarn looks so good. 😊
Thank you! 😊
Have not it looked intimidating to knit pressed flowers but I love your colors!
Turns out it's a very simple and addictive pattern. 😊❤️
Thanks for another fun video. I love your Anker Sweater. I wouldn't have thought to try to knit Anker from unspun yarn. You've given me lots of new inspiration! I have not knit any of the pressed flowers series. I think it looks wonderful, but I can't imagine it on me. I need to hire someone to rescue my yard/garden. So many rocks in our soil, I can hardly plant anything.
Thank you so much! Our garden area is sitting on some big rocks, so we had to go for raised beds. It was lots of work, but it worked out wonderfully.
Love the lemon jumper
Love your happy fun podcast ❤️❤️❤️
❤️
Fabulous 😊❤!!!
Ps...I have only just found you on utube..so knitting socks and catching up on your videos from number 1.
I am knitting with West Yorkshire spinners yarn..they do bird colours..have finished Owl and knitting Jay now.
You do 'Finilicious' knitting videos❤
Finished my Beach Tank in Bamboo Pop. Will be having temperatures 36.6F Monday and Tuesday!
I love all of these!!!
Ur pressed flowers is stunning I would love to knit that
I like the colors you chose for your press flowers shawl, the contrast is good.
Thank you! I'm very happy with this moodier version. 😊
Love your pressed flowers. We too are doing some major yard work and putting in a large veggie garden, it is hard work but the finish will be worth it.
Absolutely! 💚
LOVE your pressed flowers. New color really makes your handspun sing. I too bought the pattern when it came out . . . . but now I think I'd rather have the cardigan as I just don't wear shawls much. Happy weekend 😘
Thank you! I wear shawls all the time, so it was an easy choice. 😄
The Seela sweater looks really good on you! You look good in that color! I love it!
❤
Thank you! I'm being brave and stepping out of my safe pink zone. 😄
I feel like I got a reply from a famous person!❤ You're so sweet and pretty! I love watching and listening to you!
I'm sorry...my grandson did something and this comment sent under his name..this is Kathy from Minnesota..I am the one who feels like I got a reply from a famous person. You are so pretty and I love watching you and listening to you!❤❤
I 💜 your lavender cloud 💜
Beautiful!
So love your episodes enjoy all the loveliness of Finland and the yarn. Thnx so much 😊
Pressed flowers shawl is on my list 😊
Love the pressed flowers yarn. Good choice to go with the darker yarn.! I think you might be surprised how many of us would sip coffee and knit along with you, if you knit all day. I'm missing our Frannie. Has she been behaving?
I've I it the pressed flowers hat and cast on the shawl yesterday 🌸
Hi Jana. I would lIke to knit the pressed flower garment you are knitting. If I would live close to your shop, I would come in, buy the yarn, and maybe you could show me how to knit it. That would be nice. 😊😊😊
Oh, what a lovely dream! I would love to show you how to knit those flowers! ❤️
You’re my color soul-sister. 🥰
Yaaay! 🩷
Your Anker's Sweater looks so nice. You are inspired me to do the same with my Nutiden. I have to admit that I'm struggling knitting with Nutiden as the roving breaks for me ALL THE TIME.
Thank you! ❤️
Are you a tight knitter? I'm a loose knitter, so it's easy for me not to pull on the yarn. It is very fragile. If you're going to hold it double for your project, you could try winding it in a ball holding both strands together. Make a ready double-standed ball. It will make it a bit stronger and easier to manage.
I love your pressed flowers shawl!! You picked the perfect colors! 💜 Your Seela looks so cozy!
Yes the pressed flower cards, pullover and shawl are on my dream knit list as well. I just started spinning so I’m hoping to spin my yarn as well. So it may be a moment.
Your Seela looks so soft & cozy; I understand why you love it. And I love the pressed flowers patterns. I think I'll be making a cardigan of it; I think my LYS is making some version for the fall KAL. I also have the yarn for Caitlin Hunter's Alpine Bloom, but have been working on my Maire dress while recovering from hip replacement 10 days ago; heavy opioids aren't conducive to much more than stockinette 😄 However, I need to wind more yarn & its upstairs, but my husband is in Maui doing relief work. I'm not confident in navigating stairs with no one to call emergency if I fall, so now I'm shifting to work more on Casapinka's Sharon on The Trail MKAL. Need to finish it because I need the needles for a cotton tank, and for the Aloine Bloom. Actually, I need to invest in more needle tops & cables than the basic Chiagoo set! I look forward to seeing the progress on your landscape project, and your WIPs. Have a good week.
36:55
Also, I was able to make myself a BIG breakfast of sugar-free/dairy-free Blueberry pancakes, bacon, scrambled eggs, mixed berries, and ☕️. That was impossible for the past couple years with my bad hip & fatigue from long-haul Lyme disease! Having a visit with you along with breakfast was the best way to start the day!
I haven’t knit any of the pressed flowers but I love your colour combination. It’s going to look amazing when it’s finished. I would definitely come and watch a live stream if ever you did one. I actually do Gaming streams over on Twitch under a different username and I love it. I don’t earn anything from it but I love chatting and meeting like minded people. I’ve not done knitting ones yet though 😅
😄❤️
Hopefully, you will show us your doll collection
I probably should. I'm a big kid. 😄
You are such a personality! I so enjoy your vlogs, and I love ALL of your projects. I’m going to go right to ravellry and order a pressed flowers pattern. I’ve treated myself to some spincycle so I may use that for the flower but will need to order the contrasting colour-I don’t really have a stash. I’m looking forward to winter here in Calgary.
Love your flower shawl 👍
Good episode Janna, Love your new sweater, and ptessed flowers. I have just finished a cotton all over lace knit. A very modest lace. Pattern Rico 155, essentials cotton DK. Thought it would be easy, but I managed to knit one front about 1cm shorter than the other. Aarghh..
Thank you! Oh no, is there an easy fix?
I love your pressed flowers! I have the pattern but have yet to knit it…I think I have my yarns in mind and am glad to hear you aren’t using dk because the yarns I’d like to use are fingering and I was worried it wouldn’t work. Thanks for the inspiration! ❤
Oh, it totally works, it just won't be as big as in the pattern, but you could add extra flower repeats if needed. That's the best bit about the shawls, you don't need to think about the gauge that much. 😊❤️
I have been looking at the pressed flowers cardigan also. It looks like it would be fun to knit. Your shawl is looking great. I love the hand spun! That dark coffee colour is fab. I am currently knitting a dragonflies sweater byJoji Jocatelli and the Lento sweater. I might have spelled Joji’s name wrong… but I have two more sweater I want to knit in mind as well and now you have reminded me of the pressed flowers lol. I have so many things I want to knit.
I did spell it wrong! It is Locatelli not Jocatelli . Sorry
Beautiful projects , I love the yarn choices you make for them. I can’t believe how much you knit overnight, crazy ! Have you tried taking Melatonin supplement to help regulate sleep pattern? My sister swears by it, no side affects like sleeping pills or anything, ask your doctor if it’s ok.
Glad to hear Sophia is happy with her schooling and aftercare🥰, hope your son feels better very soon and grows to love school😂. Take care, be well and enjoy watching the digger today🙋🏼♀️
