Well Karoline both of your sweaters are gorgeous and the one you’re wearing fits you so so well gorgeous you are so talented thank you for sharing your gifts with us. And congratulations on your needles what a beautiful gift sending you a big hug

Karoline—I just love your channel. Faela is so talented, and her “waiting” demeanor was just too funny! Love hearing about your knits and your life!

Hi Karoline, thanks for a great episode. Re: test knitting for big designers, I also think it is worth mentioning that you're branding their pattern so they usually look for someone with a big Instagram following so they can be sure many people will see that knitter's FO of their pattern. I have been rejected from every Danish test knit I have signed up for despite being a native dane and having 7 years of knitting experience and a ton of test knitting experience, regardless of the presence of sponsored yarn or not. It really, truly, feels like there's an "in-group" of people they want as test knitters, and not everyone can join that. Iin contrast I have never been rejected from any international designer test knit I have signed up for 😅

Watching your podcast after putting my daughter to bed and so glad I can finally chill a little bit.

Would love to knit an Office Tee! Yours looks absolutely beautiful. Looking forward to the pattern coming out, hopefully soon.

It’s so lovely to hear you talking so positively about your current mental health situation. I’m doing better too, especially thanks for the weather improvements but also I made some changes regarding my job/career and that has helped as well to give me purpose and make more excited to wake up in the morning.

Currently knitting on the Whitmoor Sweater by Ami Lowden. It’s my first lace sweater and it’s flying off the needles!

Hi Karoline, congratulations on the test knit. You shouldn't feel bad about being selected and having sponsored yarn. Designers are drawn to your lovely personality and broad appeal, not just because you're a Danish speaker. I look forward to seeing your Karl Johan pullover and Sept slipover as both of those are in my queue, and for once, I actually purchased the suggested yarn.

So cool that you're doing the test knit and that you were invited!! Such a great sweater project. Cool that you're being so responsible with your pup and training her as well, that's great! I'm very glad she'll be spayed. I've only recently learned how it can be beneficial to let your pet cycle once beforehand. 💜 Congratulations on perhaps finally having your wedding! 🍰 🍾

I was so happy for you when you updated on IG about sweater no20, I would've been freaking out!! Haha always so lovely to listen to you and knit, it's like having a knitting friend 😁
Watching you take care of fayla is more than enough for me 😆 so cute but I am not ready!! Hahaha

I've been test knitting away this year, I think I am basically obsessed with test knitting (send help) lol watching your videos the last year or so really opened my eyes to them and after diving in with my first one in jan, I'm already on my 7th and 8th test knits....! First ever shawl and a new cozy sweater 🥰

[Maya-iiim]

Thank you, I wish you all the best and many greetings from Germany

Thank you for talking so much about how hard it was getting a puppy and how it took a while for you to feel the benefits - I found exactly the same when we got our dog in November 2020 and he was hard work. I just felt so guilty all the time because you're supposed to love them and sometimes it was really, really tough and exhausting! I felt like I was the only one so I massively appreciate it

[lottes.kirkegaard]

Hi Karoline. Thanks for another lovely podcast. I loved your office tee knitted in silk. I'm currently testknitting a Tee in 100 % silk from Garnkøbing (Mette Marie Kokholm) the yarn from A knitters world is So beautyful. I'm looking forward to see your cabled sweater finished, it looks stunning.

[SuzKnits]

It's amazing you have a set of chiao goo needles now.. Hope you love them.

[knitwit]

I knit a bunch of socks & no, blocking isn’t necessary but honestly I enjoy them for photos & for stretching those socks out before putting them on because I like to knit my socks so they’re snug but not to snug & blocking them really helps!

[katherinebyrne]

Another amazing podcast! 👏 I also started knitting socks with knitpro and really struggled with the cord. After you saying the same and mentioning chiagoo, I've ordered some in the hope I'll manage better with them 🤞😊

Hi Karoline thanks for sharing. I so enjoy your podcast. I’ve been knitting and watching you and Fayla with my own dogs by my side. The first six months with a pup are the toughest. You’re such a loving pup mum. Hang in there. 💕 I was excited to see you picked up some Woolyknit yarn. I took advantage of the Creabea discount to stock up on cones, too. I’d love to hear your thoughts on projects for their British Wool yarn. I held their Mallard with Biches et Buches silk mohair. I haven’t made anything else with it yet. A friend is using it on colorwork. Any suggestions? Do you hold it single? Double? With other yarns?

[bernbee]

How interesting that you have to wait to have Faela de-sexed, in Australia they encourage it to be done around 6 months, before they go on heat. Love the projects and good luck with the test knit deadline.

[kuriaknits]

I suppose I have to learn Danish now haha 

From a fellow pandemic bride who had a tighter than intended fitting dress - you'll get there! Trust yourself and enjoy the process :) Is Fayla coming to the wedding?

[talesofaknitter]

Hey there, I just found your channel and I absolutely loved watching. Did I hear you say you watch F1? I love F1 and I am a big Red Bull fan. This season is off to a very interesting start with the new series of cars. Anyway, I'm subscribed and excited for your next video. All of your projects are beautiful! ❤️

[rociochon]

Hi Karoline, loving your podcasts. I am interested in buying the Office Tee pattern in English, where can I buy a cop

[rikkemortensen]

Din Office tee sidder virkelig godt på dig 😊
