Dear Jana. Thank you for speaking about Ukraine, and you are so right in saying that we must keep talking about the war. I hope that the people of Ukraine will have peace soon. I have just knitted some hats for the Ukrainian army. I was made aware of the need for hats and socks for soldiers and civilians through the U.K. Hand Knitting Association. Their website has an address in the U.K. where you can send your finished knits to. The website also has free knitting patterns for beanie hats and DK 46:56 tube socks. ❤❤🙏🇺🇦
No need to apologize for anything you want to talk about. I appreciate your "real life" podcast, in all the forms!
Your sweater is darling and i love your podcast. You are so right about talking about the Ukraine it is really heartbreaking to see the country bombed.
I also have a question about the musselburgh hat. I have inly made 1 and ripped one out but want to try again .. how do you know when to add the different color in?i would like to try a 2 hat color
Never apologize for sharing what is on your heart! As someone of Finnish ancestry who grew up in one of the most Finnish towns in the US (Ashtabula OH represent) Russia’s threats to the region are clearly too real.
Thank you Jana❤💛💙
I love your dress. Do you know how the Finnish sizes relate to US sizes? Your vest makes it!
Yes! Yes! Yes! Froggie MAL!!!!
My word for this year is peace, I really hope it will come to that this year. ❤
Thank you Jana for your fabulous YouTube channel. Always praying for the people of Ukraine. ❤️🙏🏻🇺🇦🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
God Bless you for talking about Ukraine, let’s never stop talking about it .
Thank you for talking about Ukraine – you're absolutely right, we need to keep talking about it until it's over! You have spurred me on to donate more money to support relief efforts. As always, a wonderful podcast that I enjoyed completely 🙂
❤❤❤ Continue to talk about the Ukrainian war. It’s needed.
Thanks for your programme Jana, and for your reminder that we can all be knitting to support the people and soldiers of Ukraine. ❤
Hi Jana ❤thank you for all your podcasts and your openness and thoughts 🙏everything you say makes so much sense and your kindness generates more kindness of that I’m sure 🙏also thank you for your wonderful knitting content … I’m going to order some bags from that lovely Lithuanian maker … and if anyone knows anyone in the Ukraine who I can buy from please let me know … I Love knitting and crocheting but am hopeless at machine knitting so if I can support someone over there I would Love to 🙏many many thanks and lots of Love ❤️🙏🧶🧶🧶🙏❤️🌷
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the war. I feel it needs to be talked about much more. I did a fund raiser last year and you have inspired me to start something for this year. Thanks again. If you inspire all who watch your channel just think what we can accomplish.
❤️😪
Those tassels 💕 sending you much love. Good always triumphs over evil 💕
❤❤❤
Thank you for talking about the Ukraine. I think it was the Dalai Lama who said something like if you think you are too small to make a difference try sleeping with a mosquito.
Åh så fin Tulpankoftan blev 😍💖💜
When people whose personal life and family has been impacted and live near enough to it and see it could happen to anyone…it needs to be said and people far removed need to be reminded. There is censorship and cancel in US ..media doesn't show the truth about events here or abroad. I love your channel for the knitting inspiration and your honesty. Understand this anniversary is hard for you and I applaud your restraint your eloquence and your example of compassion and positive actions. Our knitting makes us stronger and more human.♥️💪 Thanks for sharing
Jana, thank you for always speaking honestly and strongly on behalf of the people of Ukraine.
Hi Jana! Could you text me the how to make those trench candles ? Thanks 🙏
I love your dress and vest.
Thank you for all that you do: helping, caring and of course share with us
I keep meaning to say how wonderful your little stop-motion section is at the beginning. Good to see you making such progress on your wips. Its vital that we keep taking about the invasion of Ukraine. This war is an evil that could so easily spread across Europe and the rest of the world. Sending much love x
Another great video Jana. I can't imagine what you heart is going through being so close to the war in Ukraine. We prayed for you in church Sunday and for others like you near the war zone. Cry out to the Lord to give you peace and hope and the joy of the Lord will help you. Will continue to pray for you. God bless.
Dear Jana, you are closer to Ukraine than many of us, but all the way over here in Ireland people are still very aware and active in helping the many Ukrainians who come to us from war torn areas. Nobody has forgotten. A certain ambassador in Dublin is feeling very uncomfortable with constant demonstrations outside his gate. You are not alone, even if it feels that way. Daylight is returning with the spring and hopefully the aggressor will soon be stopped, maybe by opposition from at home. I often think about you and what you are dealing with over there. Best wishes.
The finished garments are lovely and the vest is one of my favorites the tasseled shawl is outstanding and I love the musselburgh you are knitting for you daughter. Yes we must speak about Ukraine keep it in the minds of all. Heipa sweet Jana
We may. It be able to change the world, but we can do something to help our little corner of it. If everyone did a little, there would be noticeable change. /hugs
Thank you for all the wonderful ideas, the little things we can do to bring peace and solidarity in the world. Your new vest is lovely. I loved the old photos of you and your knits. I think you are doing a great good.
Instead of bashing we should encourage – great words to live by, Jana! You are an amazing woman and such an inspiration! I am so glad that you can tell it like it is, and remain positive and caring. I always feel better after watching your videos
I don' t have words 😢
Jana, the No. 2 vest is perfect with your dress. I love the cropped look, it’s very flattering. Oh, and the color is beautiful. 😊
A corner to corner blanket results in a really snuggly, textured stitch. I highly recommend using it for your next blanket.
You've touched my heart Yanna. The war in Ukraine must not be forgotten. I am also knitting socks for Ukraine.
Take care you wonderful soul, greetings from The Netherlands 🧶🧡
Hi there,
I landed on your channel while I was looking for info about Finnish yarn as I will shortly be travelling to Helsinki and always bring with me a yarn souvenir from my trips.
I found your words about war very touching, have been volunteering as well last year in France where I live.
I’ve subscribed to your channel, will come back with pleasure. Hugs 🤗

Tassels?! I've not finished mine, because it needed something. It needs amazing tassels! Thank you.
I always enjoy your podcasts. But I want to thank you for speaking out against the war in Ukraine and against what Putin is doing in Ukraine and to the Ukrainian people. It is so wrong. We must not forget what is going on there, nor underestimate how devastating Putin's actions have been on these innocent people.. We must continue to support the freedom of independent countries like Ukraine, and not let tyrant countries run rampant. If Putin takes Ukraine, what country will he go after next?
Hi, I just wanna say that I love that you talk about the war. I found your channel a year ago when you talked about supporting Ukrainian designers and we try to do what we can from Sweden, we sent packages to the front with warm clothes and I contribute a small amount monthly to help organizations, but we all just wish this war could end. I read a great book by Oksana Zabuzjko that I felt explained this madness. It kind of helps me to understand what is happening so that's a tip. In the Swedish translation it's called the longest of travels.
Bless you. We all need to hear and think about the tragedy that is happening in Ukraine. ❤
