In Germany knitting is part of clinical rehabilitation programms like burnout or depression.

Knitting helped me when I had depression and is really good for mental health. Love it and your videos 🙂

You are a wonderful knitting podcaster! Thanks for sharing the article info about knitting - stress release, joy, and sense of accomplishment. This is definitely how I "wind down" and love that knitting is part of my life. Thanks also for sharing the farm shop - so amazing to see. You do a great job at filming - a pace slow enough for us to appreciate the various items. Plus I love that they had a sitting area for loved ones to hang out. ;) Maybe a visit some day.

Agreed. Knitting is a wonderful way to de-stress once you know what you’re doing. So peaceful and relaxing.

I agree. Having knit for a multitude of years I am so grateful to work with lovely yarns and colours. The dreaming, planning, problem solving and pleasure are all part of it.

Oh yes, you love your wool. Your joy is so charming. I'm sure my shopping basket would have been full too, who could resist. The undyed yarn looks lovely. So many nice jumpers, so much inspiration. Thank you for letting us visit the mill with you!

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on the joys of knitting. So many of us live with people who just don’t understand! I also love the videos of your travels. What a lovely shop!!

Your boyfriend is very thoughtful! I look forward to seeing what you knit with your treasures! ❤

What a lovely and thoughtful gift to you from your boyfriend! And in turn, thanks for sharing with all of us. I always enjoy your podcasts, they are very comforting. Take good care.

I wish that I was a Knitter when I was in medical school, and during residency, that would have been a great stress reliever.

You are a real inspiration for me. The things you make and the AMOUNT of things you make keeps me so busy with my own knitting. I loved seeing the shop thank you for sharing what you got and pix at the end of you vlog. I also agree completely with what knitting does for the knitter. I love it so much and you help me love it even more😊

Delightful! I just love seeing what yarn you buy! So much fun to spend time looking at your haul!! Just the best way to spend time!!!

Really enjoyed seeing your yarn haul and hearing your plans for the gorgeous yarn you chose. Loved the footage of the shop. It’s absolutely beautiful. Full of so many lovely things. What a thoughtful gift from your love.

I love catching up with you and seeing all the beautiful things you make or yarns you buy…❤❤ I love 💕 what the article says because I found joy in knitting after work because my job is so stressful 🤗 ❤… I always appreciate you Inga! Thank you for sharing. 😊

I love the marling on the sweater you were wearing and your new yarn is gorgeous! Thanks for the tour of the shop.

It was so nice to travel and shop vicariously through you! I'm a new knitter (since last fall) but it's addictive for those exact reasons: the tactile feeling of making something, the repetition, the fact that you can vary the levels of challenge, the long-term nature of the project with a distinct end goal of wearing or gifting the item, it's all a perfect de-stressing craft. And getting to watch what advanced knitters like you work on makes it even more fun!

So much fun. Completely agree on why of knitting. And yes, all good but for the wallet! ;)

The bit of the shop you did at the end was lovely.

I totally agree. Knitting brings so much to my psyche! Like therapeutic! It’s a lifestyle more than a hobby. Enjoy your new possessions 🧶

Someone probably commented that already, sorry. But when you said white powder at the airport, I just thought: they checked that bag and saw its no drugs and we're thinking: " these crazy knitting people nowadays" 😆🤣😂 Knitting has been and is still a kind of therapy for me. To heal my soul, to destress from worries and everyday life. I can't imagine my life without knitting and without my knitting friends. They are my family and for me too, knitting is a part of me. Thank you for this wonderful episode!

Absollutely, Do what makes you happy!! The colour is gorgeous!

Inga! I agree with With everything you said about knitting! Definitely de stressing and comfortable and cosy way of relaxing which is good for the soul Thank you again! Xx 😘

I knitted my way thru adverse childhood experiences that left me with CPTSD. Knitting is my sanity and my safe place. ❤

So inspiring and lovely episode. Love that you share acquisitions. My husband is vinyl records collector , so I cannot collect and stash yarn as those 2 hobbies would be financially too much. I only buy yarn for the project I cast on, so love watching your purchases , gives me so much joy. It really is lovely you share this. Thank you ❤

What a great present! Knitting has certainly helped me a lot through some tough times and it is now a part of who I am also. But Yep, not so helpful for my wallet.😊

Ooh this is so lovely! I want my own sheep farm one day so I can spin my own yarn up, even better that we can get plants. I already do spinning on a drop spindle and I love it, but this is so amazing that you have shared! Thank you so much!

What a beautiful, beautiful store! I am so excited to be getting my first Nutiden yarn! After watching this I’m even more excited!

Hello Inga,, absolutely agree , I love knitting, especially in morning and evening while watching tv. In this mixed up world, we are doing a good thing, it’s universal and wonderful, all these knitters casting on projects , making socks or a jumper for someone. I love the yarn and the excitement when you receive a package in the mail. I finished and blocked my all over Colorwork jumper and must say so happy with how it turned out. Started a biche et Buche after party sweater, and might purchase a Marie Wallin kit for a knit in the round all over Colorwork with a boat neck, it is steeked for sleeves and no huge sewing up, all the yarn you purchased is lovely!!❤🧶☕️

I’ve never seen such a beautiful yarn shop. We certainly don’t have many, if any, like that in the USA !

What a wonderful trip!!!! Your boyfriend is definitely a keeper!!!!! Thank you for sharing. I just received sandnes garn Sunday petite knits today. It’s so soft and wonderful.

Oh, how could any knitter resist those luscious yarns! I will be so happy to see you make lovely items with them. That beautiful green was the loveliest one of all, and it looks so good with your eyes and skin tone. (Besides, it's my favorite color.)

The same happened to me many years ago when I brought a box of Betty Crocker carrot cake from the USA 😂 my suitcase had been opened and the boxes also 😂😂😂

This was GREAT Inga, thank you! G-Uld is actually close to where my son and his family live, but I didn’t know about them. I’ll definitely go visit when I travel to DK later this spring. Thank you again for sharing your love and knowledge about Scandinavian traditional wool with us. And I appreciate what you say about balancing work stress with the comfort and relaxation of knitting. I’m a family psychotherapist 😊 so stress and worries are my job.

Thank you for sharing you trip. Gorgeous yarns! I love everything that you purchased. Can’t wait to see which one you will knit first. 😊

Those yarns are so beautiful Inga especially the no.3 green one 😍. I would love to make a sweater with that. I can’t wait to see the beautiful projects you make with each yarn 😊

Thank you for taking us on a trip to Denmark - that shop is beautifully curated and very inspiring!

What a lot of lovely yarns!🧶😊👍

Oh my gosh what a lovely gift from your boyfriend to go to the G-Uld Farm in 🇩🇰 Denmark. You were holding the different yarns like babies. I was waiting for you to rock the yarn in your arms. The shop looked so interesting. You must always buy the colours that make you purr ..... Bloosen in English is blouse and in Afrikaans is Bloes. Afrikaans is derived from the Dutch language. .... take care Inga

Wow, Inga! The farm visit and store looked amazing! I want to visit there. Knitting is a huge part of my mental health and daily self-care. I love seeing what you buy and what you make as you inspire me so much! Like I said before, if you ever want to set up a tour through Scandinavia, I am there!!!! 🐑♥️🐑♥️🐑. Thank you!

This sounds like such a fun trip! The green shades are all so beautiful :)

Thanks for taking me to g-uld 🥰

I like it undyed. It's a silver gray. Very ethereal.

lovely video, enjoyed the thoughts at the end x follow the joy x

I am on my 7th Sophie Scarf...a great quick stash buster that will make nice gifts.

WOW, lots of beautiful yarn finds! The store looked like it had a lot to see. All those minis were so beautiful!!! 🌻

The rolled neck sweater is nice. And all the yarn is beautiful. I'm knitting the Little Cables Raglan, with some Cascade Heritage yarn, in blue. Small needles and it's taking a while.

Inga, your tour footage and acquisitions are lovely. The undyed, gray skeins have my heart!!🤍🤍🤍Thanks for sharing!

I love your love for delicious yarn.

Another lovely podcast- I always love watching your podcasts and seeing all the amazing knitting you do.

The green shades are so pretty!

hi inga!!! watching another podcast video from you - as always, thank u for bringing these into the world - sitting down with one of them, and knitting, is one of the happiest moments of my week :)

So nice to see the footage of the G-Uld shop! I am going in June for their 4 day dyeing workshop. I am a Canadian who lives in the states but am of Norwegian descent and so we (me along with my sister and daughter) are going to go to Norway and Sweden too. I am sure I better bring the old suitcase in a suitcase as I know I will be coming home with a pile of yarn. It is always so fab to buy the yarn while traveling and then remember the trip when you wear the item. My last trip I was in Scotland, England and Brussels and am working on a second vertices shawl and a sweater with the yarn I bought at the Perth Yarn Festival. My husband is coming back from Paris today, and you know he is coming back with yarn! Guess I better work on the Nutiden Versal sweater I am knitting him today! Always look forward to your videos. I live in Michigan, and every year we have a huge fiber festival called the Michigan Fiber Festival. They have animals, workshops and vendors. It is so much fun! You would love it.

What a wonderful shopping trip! Now I want to go to Denmark! Thank you for taking us along.

Inga, Those are likely cochinil bugs from Mexico where I live that will give you a beautiful red color. Please show us how do with them. Thanks for the podcast!

What a lovely haul I’m so jealous lol! I agree with you on what health benefits knitting provides. I was sick for five years with Lyme disease before I was diagnosed and knitting and buying yarn saved my life! I knit every chance I get. I just need more time to knit for myself! And your boyfriend deserves a marriage proposal after that gift! He’s a keeper! Lol ❤

Knitting makes me happy !!!! And on days that I can’t find the time because of life … I can feel it ! It is addicting in a good way !

I naturally dye yarn in my little business. I love Cochineal! It’s so versatile. Add a little acid and get bright pink tones, add a bit of baking soda or alkaline water and it will turn purple. The pinks I’ve gotten from cochineal has far surpassed those from madder root. If you want red make sure you use a high % for WOF. Let me know if you have any questions.

By the way I know it is none of my business and you are not me. I really like you, and look so much for each of your podcast that I practically myself don't want you stop knitting and buying wool. Thank you.

inga - the community loves you back 💛💛💛

An epic haul!!! So much fun. 😊

after seeing your video at the end . . . . I think you showed incredible restraint in the yarn shop . . . . so many beautiful yarns and designs 😍

The comment on PetiteKnit was interesting. It seems to give the look of a small family business and a massive enterprise all at the same time; it's a mystery to me! The field trips to the yarn stores are always fun.

The yarn hauls are always so educational. I also think knitting is essential to my stress management. It is as you said, part of me, and everyone I know appreciates that. The comfort of wearing items I have made is another benefit and seeing others wear items I made is so satisfying. Thank you for sharing and happy for you your boyfriend nurtures this part of you.

Inga, I love your pure excitement in your yarny acquisitions. Love your podcasts. Thank you

Oh my god, that workshop looks amazing! I definitely want to do that as well :)

For en fantastisk gave 🥰 G-uld-garnet er jo så fint!

Your excitement is infectious !

So glad you included undyed yarns and intend to dye them yourself. Looking forward to see your results.

Inga! I love green yarn the one your boyfriend said you have plenty knits in that shade!,,, I’ve Norwegian down padded jacket in exactly same colour ! Considering I don’t wear green but I really love jacket! Love polo neck sweater pattern! Wow! Love all the yarns! Have fun! Xx 💜🧶💜

Amen to the idea that knitting reduces blood pressure! My daughter was born at 26 weeks (under 1000 grams) because I had extreme Pre-Eclampsia and HELLP syndrome. Seven years later when I got pregnant with my son, I vowed to keep my blood pressure down by doing my favorite thing - knitting! I religiously took the time to calm myself, sit, and knit for several hours each day. I kept my blood pressure down and he came at a full 40 weeks! These days (17 years later with two healthy children), I'm fully addicted to knitting and now I know why - all those accomplishments! :) Love your podcast and am happy to vicariously "buy" yarn by watching you - even when I'm not buying it!!

Lovely Inga 💐 Beautiful Shade of Green in the Number 3 It's Soooo Your Colour 😍 I Love Greens Too 💚 You really made me Laugh when You asked Mattisse opinion then ignored him LOL Thank You For Showing the Gorgeous Yarns

Interesting point about the feelings we get with each little accomplishment through the process of knitting on a project. You are so cute with not holding back on buying yarn that you love and makes you happy. I believe that I will never regret buying yarn, I will only regret not buying yarn that is calling my name. I love seeing all your uninhibited acquisitions, the yarns and patterns you mention can only inspire me! 😊💗

Knitting is life. Collecting yarn, however, is the hobby. Great acquisitions! And serious restraint! From the footage I would've seriously struggled too. Can't wait to see what projects come from such great yarn! ❤❤

Thanks so much for sharing all of that Inga. Wonderful and thoughtful gift from M. The colours of their dyed yarns were gorgeous.

LOVE the yarn acquisition arts of your vlog, so really happy to see this one!

Hej Inga a vonderfull g-uld ! Tove Denmark😊

What!?! No cinnamon or rust colours??? Haha beautiful yarn. I can't wait to see what you make with it :)

Omg ty so much for sharing! I enjoy your podcast very much! I found out I am Norwegian and I am delighted! Your country and people are so beautiful and I do hope to visit someday!

Such beautiful yarn. Thanks for sharing it with us. Knitting relaxes me and gives me happiness. A lot has en is happening in my life and knitting is a good way for me to think off something else and make me feel relax. The mill you showed was great.

Lovely yarns. I too take my knitting everywhere. I have osteoarthritis and my doctor told me to knit as much as possible for the hand/thumb joints! I’m quite passionate about it. So much so, we are planning a trip to Norway for a knitting vacation. Bergen is going to get some US dollars!😂

Knitting just makes me happy 😊 it relaxes me but also if I’m doing something more complicated it keeps my brain ticking over lol 😂 I can’t wait to sit down in the evening and pick up my knitting or crochet projects - I usually 3-4 on the go and love having the choice of which one I want to do! It’s definitely therapeutic and I would advocate everyone to give it a go!! ❤

Thank you Inga. You inspire me with each project, purchase and podcast. I love what you shared about that article.....so very true 🥰 I really appreciate this wonderful community of knitters.

I recently found your podcast and am really enjoying it. It’s informative and relaxing, but not in a pretentious way. Green is becoming one of my favourite colours so those yarns looked amazing. Thanks for sharing.

Such beautiful yarns ❤ I can’t wait to see what you make with it all! I’m disabled and knitting really helps with my mental welfare.

Thank you Inga.

Another lovely podcast Inga. Knitting becomes part of your life, it’s soulful. I think it’s funny when people call it a hobby 😮

Lovely acquisitions, I look forward to see everything you will knit with all that lovely yarn. Also quite curious about you dyeing experiments. Knitting make me happy, especially bieng part of such a great community and having access to different podcasters all over the world.

Thank you so much Inga for this wonderful episode about your yarn journey and for your thoughts and reflections on why we love yarn and knitting so much😊

The charcoal unspun yarn is gorgeous, and that beautiful heathery green looks wonderful on you!! I have also read a few articles about the therapeutic benefits of knitting. I do find it to be very comforting and stress-reducing (most of the time 😄) and I love that it allows me to use the creative part of my brain in fun ways too! Thank you for sharing your acquisitions, but more than that, thank you for sharing your enthusiasm for knitting! 💖

Hi Inga, have you ever worried about just how much you love yarn? Loving your podcasts. I love wool too 💖💖💖 ps, I never worry🤣🤣🤣

You picked such beautiful things from Guld! I was so happy to browse the shop through you, while sitting on my couch, a world away lolol! I laughed so hard seeing your boyfriend sitting in the chair while you wandered through the store! I work in a yarn store and I see that same scene time and time again lolol 😂

Another great podcast, I love all your yarn, never mind the cost of the yarn, life is to short so go buy what you can afford and if it brings you happiness that’s all that matters, sending blessings from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I love seeing these wonderful yarns, thank you for sharing! I have knit the Versal and you are correct, Albina's patterns offer so much! There are always various necklines, body shaping and advice for yarn weights. I will knit the Saglan very soon and also want to knit the TULC cardigan. Highly recommend Albina's patterns!

Wow, shall I be like everyone here or shall I say Inga I love your podcast, but is the knitting all what life is about? Inga you yourself must know, I knitted myself more than 400 pieces within the past 3 years, put often the knitting ahead of everything, I know the dopamine going back on trauma, but what is it in your case. MTHFR ? Matthias and your surroundings are worth it, it is not to change you, it is you giving it a thought? Thank you. I know each of your podcasts. Maybe a new puppy will show you another world. Knitting is a wonderful addiction and you are a good example of it, you show me practically the way how to be practically free of being addicted.

Tusind tak for en fantastisk overraskelse med et afsnit her op til weekenden - jeg elsker G-uld ligesom dig🥰🤗

Nice yarn haul! That should keep you busy for abit lol. Thanks for the tour of G-uld- they have been turning up in my Instagram feed a lot lately. Happy Knitting & never feel shamed about your stash- most of us are hoarders toooooo 😂

That yarn shop is soooooooo dreamy! I love the sweater with the braided detail could you share the name of the pattern in your notes? As always…Thank you for taking us with you on your yarn journeys! ❤❤❤❤❤

Very interesting - I gave the G-uld book to my daughter last year and this year I hope to be traveling around Denmark, so who knows...! I was surprised the samples were on hangers, it's a shame if they're spoilt by their own weight dragging on them, maybe they could find a better way to drape them over bars or something so they'll keep their shape. Beautiful yarns, beautiful store. And yes, what is life without knitting to keep us sane :O!!

Wow, I had to wait until the VERY end so to see that stunning knitting mill shoppe! Ok here’s the bitter truth, I wish I was your sister! Wow ok a cousin would be fine too! Seriously, I was drooling a bit there whilst you were showing those yarns! Must go now and recover with some deep breaths. ClaudiaSJI

Я очень люблю вязать и я тебя понимаю! Пряжа великолепна! 🤩👋👍🌷
