Oh my Ivana, you look like a model in your maxi dress and pumps❤ stunning! What you are creating with your handspun, whether a hat, blanket, sweater is gorgeous and unique! You are so talented and it's wonderful to see your creativity blossom. ❤
aw, thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
I love how the momma bird just does a fly by in the beginning. They are such amazing creatures.
so true, it was a pleasure observing them ❤️
So much beauty and joy here, thank you for sharing all the little and big things in your life, Ivana. Love seeing the pets getting love, ❤️, love seeing you all dressed up and out on the town with your family, love listening to your experiments in yarn just for fun… and love that cream fade sweater. 🎉
thank you very much ❤️
Always simple elegance with you.I love all of your makes.xx🐝🐝
Thank you very much ❤️
Love all your lovely knits and yarns. I actually laughed out loud when you said "the only thing is the mannequin kind of freaks me out a bit...." so, so funny. I'm still laughing.
:) ❤️
Ivana the shrug looks so elegant with your dress!!! Absolutely stunning!!! I love that you have such creativity and you instinctively know how to use and color coordinate your yarns to make beautiful pieces. I'm so happy to see you more often this month. 😎
Thank you very much ❤️
Ivana the shrug was beautiful over the dress. I enjoy seeing all your makes. Thank you!
Thank you so much!❤️
Hi Ivana! I love those beautiful stripes on the blankets!
Thank you! 😊
I loved this. The baby birds, showering your dog and then you lovely look in black 🖤
thank you very much ❤️
Where to start lol😂your dog looked like he/she was in heaven during that bath! You looked stunning going to your dad birthday celebration! The excitement in your voice over experimenting and having fun was fabulous! Your experimenting really helps me get out of my box. Thank you❤
She usually hates getting a bath but since it's really hot here at the moment, I think she was grateful :) ❤️
very talented young lady, happy birthday to your dad, he must be really proud of you.❤
thank you very much..... especially the young lady part (I'm 45). You made my day ❤️❤️❤️
Woot woot how great you looked in your dinner outfit 🥰 love a simple dress, that length is so good and those shoes 💕 those little baby birds were so cute, so magical to have that so close. Loved everything as usual. Thanks for sharing, love the play, Karen 😘
Thank you Karen. That nest is just under our pergola and it was so nice watching them daily. ❤️
I love that brown and white handspun yarn!
thank you ❤️
Thank you for this interesting conversation! You are a magician with the mix of colors. This is very inspiring. I will purchase fine yarn and start experimenting with what I have in my stash.
Have a good week-end. Elise
That's a great idea... I'm glad you liked the video ❤️
What a happy episode! You are glowing throughout with your making and beautiful style. Your family and friends are so blessed to have your generous soul in their lives.
(p.s. I saw your gorgeous blanket on Amy’s podcast and it’s absolutely perfect, meant to be)
I look forward to seeing more of you this month. Take care. 🥰
Lisa
Thank you so much Lisa ❤️
I'm always excited to see your videos, Ivana! Happy weekend.
I'm so glad, enjoy your weekend too. ❤️
I love your blankets. So creative. What a ton of yarn you used. 🧶🇨🇦
Thank you! 😊❤️
Great episode Ivana - you know I’m going to comment on the outfit and the shoes! So chic w the heels and shrug. Makes me want a monochrome shrug also…
Thank you Rhonda.... I was thinking of you when I was editing the footage of the shoes :) ❤️
Oh my goodness, the footage of those birds! Their mouths are yellow inside, I've never seen that before. Thank you for including that. I absolutely love your idea for the long tube hat with just gathers instead of increases and decreases. It's already giving me ideas for something similar. I have both sizes of the row counter from Twice Sheared Sheep and find them very useful, can highly recommend.
Thank you very much. I'm glad you enjoyed it ❤️
Absolutely stunning work!! Thank you for sharing!!
❤️
I love your hat idea! Everything looks beautiful 😃
Thank you! 😊❤️
Great to see you in another wonderful podcast
thank you ❤️
So much fun creating with yarn if only for a future project - I'm inspired to experiment with some Plötulopi I have in stash in varied beige to brown shades. Thanks for all your inspiration!!
I've never worked with Plotulopi but I do have Manchelopi that I'm still to knit with... I'm looking forward to it. ❤️
Oooh Ivana your sweater wig is lush! ❤ lovely catch up with you. 😘
Thank you! 🤗❤️
Beautiful projects, love them all🧶💕
Thank you! 😊❤️
Hi Ivana. Its so good to see you again, you've been missed. As always, all of your creations are beyond beautiful and visually stunning. You definetly have an eye for color. Happy belated birthday to your dad. Until next time my friend, many blessings. 💜🤗💜
Thank you so much Emilia ❤️❤️❤️
You're welcome, Ivana
💜🤗💜
Love your podcast and all the items you are making just gorgeous
Thank you so much!❤️
Such colour inspiration, stunning 😍
Thanks so much 😊❤️
Always look forward to your videos Ivana! I am going to try your version of the Musselburg Hat. Thank you!!Thank you!!!! I have hesitated because I am not an advanced knitter and couldn’t figure out the closure they use in the pattern. Can’t wait for your weekly videos to come!😃
Thank you. This hat is very easy to make, you just have to decide on the number of stitches for the tube. I do around 108 stitches with fingering weight yarn. ❤️
Ivana, Thank you for another wonderful episode! Alway love to see what are you up to ♥
thank you very much ❤️
Good idea Ivana - the beanie, maybe I will try to make one☺Love your podcast. Have a wonderful weekend❣
Thank you! You too!

The Musselburgh hat is by Isolda Teague. She has a nice podcast about it.
Oh thank you!

So inspiring! I love your shrug ..and the blankets…and the sumptuous black hat beginnings….🐇
thank you very much, I'm glad you like them. ❤️
Your videos are wonderful. The baby swallows, your dog getting a bath, you all dressed up, your creations, taking Dad to supper, everything you share with us. Thank you. I just ordered from twiceshearedsheep because I’ve been looking for a row counter like the one you got. Then I bought my friend a couple things too. 🥰
thank you very much. ❤️❤️❤️
Wonderful to see you! You look stunning in your black dress and shrug! It’s always a treat to have a reason to get dressed up! Thanks for sharing all your projects and those sweet baby birds!
Thank you Diane ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Ivana, your blankets are gorgeous, your homespun yarn is so perfect for them. Happy birthday to your father. 🪻🌷🌸🌼🌼🌻🌹🐈⬛
Thank you so much!❤️
Ivana, watch your video and see the joyful expression in your eyes when you are sharing creative ideas to be gifts. I love the idea of the hats. Just like so many things you do simplicity-is an artful avenue. There are so very many beautiful patterns filled with new techniques, but everything you offer to the master or the novice is an opportunity to just engage in the process. Bravo
Thank you so much. My favorite are the simplest of projects in plain stitches, just surrendering and allowing the fabric to form.... I guess it's a form of my meditation ❤️
I was so happy to see you again!! In such a chaotic world right now, you bring such light and calm. I so appreciate you and your amazing talent. I was also thinking of hats and maybe even matching mitts for gifts. After Tour de Fleece, I should have plenty of handspun to use! I look forward to your weekly videos, Ivana!!! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much.... matching mitts are a great idea ❤️
Hello Ivanna! It's really nice to see you and your amazing works again!
Thank you! 😊❤️
So pretty in your outfit it’s lovely and hot here in edinburgh today mon 3rd June
Oh thank you. It's really hot here too, it was 37C today ❤️
WOOHOO can't wait love this episode
💗beautiful blanket 💗🐑
thank you ❤️
Love your footage so great to watch...thank you. And I love your blankets, they are beautiful. could you tell us how you change the colors? do you weave in the ends or do you have a different method? do you just start with a width that you guesstimate or do you have a set number of stitiches? And thank you for all your inspiration - love the colors and creativity.
Thank you very much. I join the end by wet felting them since I don't use superwash yarn. And as far as number of stitches, I just chain approximately the width of my wingspan :)
Hope this helps ❤️
hat looks epic
thank you ❤️
Great episode, so far! I wanted to ask about the yarn you're using for the raglan- would you share where you purchased the wool and cashmere, please? I, too, love crocheting blankets with handspun, especially from the early days:)
Hey Andrea, most of my cobweb yarn I get from Yarns from Italy dot com, but I think I had the cashmere already in my stash from before. The other wool alpaca fingering yarn is Drops Flora.
I love you channel btw.
Ivana ❤️
@@therepublicofme Thank you and I'm so happy you are hanging out here! I love your channel, too🥰
Thank you for the video, I don’t understand how you close both end of the hat ?😊
I thread scrap yarn through the stitches and gather it like a draw string bag. ❤️
Great 😊 on both side or just one
If on both sides it is not to thick ?
Your hat does looks great 😊
