This is my mom’s first YouTube video, and I couldn’t be more proud of her ❤️ I’m so happy to see how many of you she has inspired, and from what country everyone’s from! My mom is truly amazing. Lots of love from Iceland.

My favorite hand knit is a lace shawl I knit for my mom 25 years ago, in her favorite color. She was so excited! When she passed away in 2023 the shawl returned to me. She taught me to knit 50 years ago. Miss you, Mom.

Beautiful podcast, thank you so much.  Our global community needs examples of slowing down and living more intentional lives.
All the garments you shared with us are amazing.

I love the idea of "filling the gaps" in your wardrobe. We are so surrounded by consumerism that I think having that Idea present while knitting really keeps you out of that consumer behavior.

Hello from the US. You had me at “Perfect for a hobbit puttering in the garden and enjoying second breakfast by the fire.” Perfectly captures how I wish to live my life!

Je suis ravie de faire partie de cette grande communauté mondiale du tricot.
Je ne passe pas une journée sans tricoter depuis de nombreuses années.
C'est le meilleur antidépresseur et la satisfaction du travail accompli est formidable.
Merci pour votre partage que j'écoute de la France 🤗

"Nothing is a failure if the goal is to gain experience." Best advice I've heard in years. Thank you. So glad I've found your channel. Or that it found me ! ❤

Hello from California, USA. I'm 22 and I'm at a point where I need to get rid of basically everything to move. It's really made me realize I have so much things I don't need and that's inspired me to commit to creating an entirely hand made wardrobe. I've been hand sewing for around 2 years and got a sewing machine 6(?) months ago. Everytime I wear something I've made, I feel so proud, happy, and confident. Even when it's not perfect. I started crocheting about a month ago and I LOVE it. I've made a scarf, leg warmers, a bag, and right now I'm making some shorts and a poncho. My plan is to replace just about everything I can with made by me clothes. I want my wardrobe to be ethical, customized, practical, long lasting, and beautiful. Creating clothes has just been a big reminder of what I'm capable of, and to slow down to just enjoy things. I also love history and textile/fiber arts are just an amazing way to connect to women's history. BTW, I've been listening to the audiobook version of The Fellowship of the Ring while crocheting recently. So excited to see what else you do and talk about!

Greetings from Maine, USA. It’s a very important message you’ve put forth, to slow down and go for quality instead of quantity. My country is in a terrible mess, most of us are totally stressed. It’s hard to be calm but we’re trying.

I love finding videos like this. This is why YouTube was created - we can connect over oceans and see how other people live and the intentions, creativity and experiences in turn  inspire us. Thank you for your video ❤🧶🌼

Вы так похожи на меня по стилю и даже вдохновляемся мы похожими людьми. Сама я не шью, но стала вязать примерно полгода назад большие вещи. Без вязанных носков свою жизнь не представляю. У моей подруги есть дизайнерский бренд одежды и я покупаю у неё натуральные платья из крапивы, льна и хлопка.  Я очень рада, что Вы завели свой канал и теперь будете вдохновлять других)) Так держать!

So nice to see other people who are knitting, puttering around, having droves of projects to go back to. Leisure studies. Right.

Omg am I dreaming? Finally, a channel that doesn't sound “made for the camera”🤣. I thought I was going crazy because I wanted to hand-make my wardrobe lol 🤣 Well, we are at least two crazy girls 😉. You have a fan in me, Sandra. I am from New Brunswick, Canada. Thank you so much for sharing your passions with us all. And I will follow you, from now on.😁😉❤️

I love all these: your ideas, the words you choose to communicate them, your voice, the clarity you bring with, the prospect following you in your beautiful endeavor and the inspiration you give. Thank you!!!

I’m in my 60’s! …learning to knit…! …
I alter and mend my clothing and I’ve always searched out second hand linen clothes. I have come to the same decision as yours: linen and wool, made …or altered/mended by me. I’m so glad you made this video!♥️🇨🇦

This video is a gem, thank you for sharing your time, your creations, and how you are living your slow life. It's so important to think about what kind of life we want to live, and communities we want to create. Hugs from Canada 🍁

I’m so glad YouTube has sent me to you. I can completely forget everything else that is going on in the world and listen to you and think about my knitting…Thank you .Anix 🇿🇦

This was the most calming, relatable and inspiring 22 minutes I’ve ever experienced. It felt like sitting down and stitching with a friend. Truly a breath of fresh air. Thanks for sharing!
Sending love from the east coast of Canada!

Oh my goodness… what a wonderful first episode. I’ve never seen someone so fully aware of who they are! I found myself smiling along, like we were just having a chat about knitting. Loved it. Thanks so much 🙏

I’m like you, trying to live a quieter, calmer, slower life, filled with peace, whenever possible. It is medicine to the soul. Love your podcast, and look forward to more episodes. ❤
