Please do remember the words from the lady in Edinburgh. Your gift to us is the videos. While it is lovely to see a reply, it is by no means something you should feel pressure to do. Another wonderful video. Thank you ❤️

Your podcasts never disappoint I look forward to each and every one of them You feel like a friend and your projects are always something that I would make Thank you for sharing with us out here

When our knitting group gathers together for crafting , there are generally multiple conversations going on. Some we respond to and some we just listen to. Our response is not expected or even anticipated. What each of us do appreciate is the sense of community and well being that we take away and leave behind for one another. The gift of time is not to be weighed or reciprocated but rather to be treasured.

It always uplifts me when you visit Ivana. I had a ginger cat years ago who used to hide when I was hanging out washing, then he would leap out and latch onto my ankle. Someone told me it was a sign of affection. 😹 Your jumper recipe, for me, is like my vanilla sock recipe. It’s an easy, pleasant knit, but it is also a very flattering (and classic) design that suits most body shapes. Great tip about the chopstick! Please don’t fret about answering comments. If you spent all day answering comments, you would have nothing to show us! 🥰

It’s really the human connection. Thank you for giving us a glimpse of life in Cyprus. 😊

Your daily life blog has big impact on me Ivana. Right down to losing hair, I can relate to you at so many levels. i am not in your age group, not even the same race, don't live anywhere near you and I do have vastly different life experience. But the core of who we are the same. I am an artist. I knit and I love animals. And I see myself in you and I can relate to what you are thinking, experiencing and going through. Most likely we will never meet but know that you have a firend in New York City.

Ivana please don't worry about replying..I just love your podcasts spending time with you.. whether knitting, crocheting, gardening or whatever.. thank you and take care from a very cold but sunny spot in South Africa xx❤

You are the gift! It is our way to say thank you to you- you replying would be thanking us for the thank you-😊

Thank you Ivana, for your time and enjoyable, relaxing, inspiring podcast. No need to feel guilty for not replying, it is exactly as the lady in Edinburg said. Love your garter scarf and look forward to seeing how you wear it, I love your style.

When i get my notification that you uploaded. I squeal and hands do a happy clap! Get my drink, I don't knit on the first watch as i don't want to miss a scene...you are like getting the next chapter of a book i love to read. I don't mind the hovering....i just breathe and smile and feel happy to see you. How lovely for you to have a stay vacation in your own home, just you and furbabies. Stay cool and safe. ❤🙋‍♀️🇨🇦

Thanks for sharing your talents. Much appreciated. Love all your makes💕💕💕

I love the chopstick trick! So clever 😂 👍

Thank you so, so much for your lovely videos. Please don't put pressure on yourself. It's exactly like the lady toll you. Comments are just a way to give back to you, what you already gave us through your video. ❤ Please simply enjoy all the lovely comments. 🤗

Dearest Ivana, I love your podcasts and you are so special as well. I have visited Crete 2 summers ago and love that you live in such a gorgeous area!! Please do not worry about responding to each comment. YOU are a gift to us so we are thanking you by our comments! Sending you hugs and love from Northern Virginia!! ❤❤❤

Another lovely episode, of course now I want to knit all the garter stitch scarves. 😊❤️

I haven't watched knitting vids in a few weeks. I need to go watch the last one

No joke the thought in my head was "ooh I have to get yarn that color (the golden mustard color) for that hat." Then thought "we'll it looks great on her it might not on me." So at least on camera you owned that color. Sometimes it's confidence that makes the outfit or colors come together. I'm pretty sure I'll give that chopstick trick a go next skein windup. Love simple tricks to make things easier.

❤ and, great tip on twisting into skeins!!!😮😊

Dear Ivana, i like your podcast so much! I'm not a big writer but they are so relaxing😊 you are such a nice person! Please never stop recording!! Thank you and big hug from Italy❤

Lovely episode, as always. I love your handspun! Hope you have a wonderful summer. Happy knitting 💚🧶💚

I would like to thank You, I first found you on here with your video on all the amazing bargains you got on "Winnie's wool wagon", I live in Ireland and was finding it difficult to find decent wool at good prices, well ....... I looked it up, bought lots of goodies and discovered that it's only a 20 minute drive from my house! So Thank You so much for the bargains and all the yarney goodness you give us every time you release a video, x

Send us some sun Ivanna, uts cold still here in the UK 😊 the gin and summer nights sounds like heaven 😊

Just an idea for the passion fruit, maybe freeze in ice cube trays can be added to smoothies and even used as ice cubes in drinks x

Hey Ivana! Always lovely to see a new video. Nice way to wake up on Sunday morning 😊 Love your sweaters, they always look so professional. I'm already planning my winter sweater knits, they're are all the In and Out raglan recipe 😅 Have a beautiful rest of your day! ❤❤

It’s always a pleasure Ivana, your creativity is truly inspiring. Have a wonderful week 🤗💕

Ivana I don’t feel you have to answer my comments. I agree that your videos are your gift and I just like you to know I am grateful and enjoy them. I like when you harvest your garden.

Thank you again Ivana! Passion fruit g&t 😮 ❤. Sometimes the simplest knitting project is irresistible - and the fabric you create with hand spun and other blends is the secret to a very special FO!

Lovely to see you the ice cubes will be tasty too we don’t need an answer honestly xxwindy in Edinburgh

Beautiful knits💜

Prose is a custom blend especially formulated for you and shipped to you.

Sitting on my couch on a stormy Sunday I loved watching you today

Another fabulous video!! As a spinner and weaver and knitter/crocheter I enjoy all your projects. ❤ Thanks for the chopstick trick…..so clever! Oh..and your garden is always so beautiful too.

Ah yes, getting to the point of not being able to reply to all these comments 🤔 bittersweet I’m sure. The therapist angel has great advice for you Ivana💪🏻🥰 I’ve heard some podcasters say they can’t reply but they do read and put a heart. I’m sure I’d feel the same way if I was in your position. Thanks for another lovely episode, take care, Karen 😘

You’ve mentioned a couple times and in this one “grandma shawl”. I want to do one too!!!!

Another wonderful podcast!! Thank you!

Good morning Ivana, I've going to share my treatment for hairloss and an all around tonic. I was sick a couple years ago with a kidney problem and my hair started falling out alot. It also became very dry like straw. My hairdresser advised me to get biotin, a B vitamin to help the hairloss. It worked. I noticed an improvement after about a month- my hair stopped falling out. Then within a couple months I noticed a lot of new growth coming back. So it worked well and cheap. I also found out about castor oil. Buy a bottle of extra virgin expeller pressed golden castor oil. Rub it into your face and neck b4 bed. Wow, better than expensive cosmetic lotion! Your skin will be so soft! Wrinkles see to fade away. Also, you can rub it into your scalp and let it soak in for an hour or two then wash your hair. You will notice after a few applications that the hairsheen is coming back and the scalp is healthy. Also, I rub the castor oil into my clean hands and cuticles at night and they have become so soft. No more little skin snagging on my fingers as I knit. Nail ridges have dsappeared! You will never look back! Loved your episode today! Wish I had guavas, Gin and tonic my favorite drink if I'm in the mood. Those ice cubes sound divine! Carrie from Northern San Francisco Bay Area 🥰❤🐕🐑🌼☕🍸🌝🧵🪡🧶

I use argan oil on my hair!!! Love it. Get some!!

That’s right. Our comments are because you touched our lives and we then share ourselves with you in response to you. ❤ Like today you can make an answer in your video when you see several people asking the same question. Look at our comments when you have time with no pressure on yourself. // I was thinking, even watching you do housework is pleasant with the nice music you play for us.// The hat isn’t my colour either but it’s so pretty. I like making a scarf wide like too so I can bunch it around my neck. It’s cosier and warmer. // Great video. Thank you.

I love everything you do! You are sooooo very multi talented! Fun fact, I ordered olive oil from Greece. It came and I read the brochure and it states that Crete is the healthiest diet on earth. I want to go there now! It’s fairly close to you I believe. You’re a blessing to me! Be well!🥰

How lovely to see you so happy in your creative projects. I am a beginner drop spinner and love the idea of plying with commercial yarn. I know you order from Italy but what are the numbers you use to botany cob weight yarn. It’s a long way $$ if I make a mistake and order the wrong thing. I have used a lot of mohair but something soft appeals to me this year and your pattern. 🧶🇨🇦. Lovely show while I finish a quilt.

Ivana, I would Much préfer to See more vidéos than you replying to my comments, please don't stop doing Them more often if you can. ❤️

As you were saying that you couldn’t reply to all the comments you get I was thinking exactly what the lady in Scotland said to you. You give us these lovey vlogs and we reply to thank you you don’t need to reply back ❤️

Your roses are wonderful ! Have you tought of adding a complex of vitamin B to your diet for your hair ? I totally agree with the lady in Edinburgh, you don't have to answer the comments unless there is a question. we comment, or at least I comment to thank you for your video. The hat is great, but I agree itis not in your colors. I love your method of skeining the yarn, I'll use a big knitting needle.

The hat looks good on you

I don't think most people expect a response to their comments. ❤

I love your videos ~ so interesting to see your life in another part of our earth from what I’m familiar with. It’s so fun! By the way ~ you do not have to respond to my comments.

Love your podcasts. Greetings from Ireland. You are not allowed answer this comment xxxx

Have you looked into the benefits of castor oil for healthy hair. I find it very beneficial. ❤

Love your videos, it makes knitting time more relaxing ❤ Your garter stitch scarf is so lovely, how wide do you make it?

I would really like to buy a shawl from You that would relly be an honour to wear dear😘 your things are always Very Very pretty 😘😘😘I am knitting my 4 th in and out raglan sweater right now

Hello from Kansas City, MO USA! Your videos have been a blessing to me and brought such beauty to my life. Thank you for taking the time to share your life all across the world. Love and light to you!🙏

I went to Ravelry to download the Friday Shrug and could not find a link to purchase or download. Is it the same amount stitiches top to bottom? (Only answer if a free pattern)
