I really love your energy and positivity. Watching your videos feels as refreshing as the sun shining in the middle of winter! 😊

[@priya_mahesh]

Content creation fuelled by passion isn't as easy as it seems. Creative burnout is real. Love the more real behind the scenes of it all

Hi from the USA. So glad I found your channel. So inspiring & upbeat. Your hair is gorgeous!

[@ollywoodknits]

I can’t wait to see the yarn shopping clips from Tokyo and Japan!!! Idk why but I get a thrill from watching yarn shopping & festival vlogs 😂❤

[@almostyou]

Watching this while working on the Salty Days test knit :) My husband got me a hotel room in town for the night, and this is the most relaxed I've been since my daughter was born three and half years ago. I've been enjoying this pattern and the Arctic Lights pattern so much that I think I'm going to have to just go ahead and get your book.

[@fazzybear3]

I have the book and it's filled with lovely knits! It was sold out in many places, but I found a copy at Wool and Co.

[@lizlorraine463]

Loved the trips into your office and the city. Ive been following you for a while now, and got back into knitting and learning from your Marshmallow Cap (didn’t know it was you at the time), but I made 3, 2 for grandchildren and 1 for a friend (Im 76). You are such a talented knitter and designer, love your tutorials. Im in SE Alaska in a small berg called Petersburg. Finland is beautiful. I miss having a kitty, and my 19 yo Sophia was just like your long hair kitty. You have created beautiful things, and a beautiful life‘s journey for yourself. Your lighter hair color turned out gorgeous! Thank you for inviting us along.

[@lorrainewalker9426]

Have a wonderful honeymoon, looking forward to seeing a little of Japanese knitting shops ? I love your vlogs and designs and everything about you. You are such a breath of fresh air and so enthusiastic in all things knitting . I am just knitting your Arctic light sweater and am loving it . Hoping to see you soon ❤❤xx

[@edavery3]

Love your content. You always make the day seem brighter. Belated happy birthday and hope your honeymoon is filled with happiness

[@diananunius1763]

Happy birthday dear Kutovakika ! ❤ Your videos are so inspiring. This winter I knitted so many nice things because of your videos. My husband said I have to stop again knitting, otherwise he has to build another wardrobe😄 Thanks a lot for your wonderful energy! Best to you, Diana from Munich

[@rosemaryeveleigh3562]

Firstly Happy Birthday on your Special Day. The honeymoon couple, you must enjoy the trip to Korea and Japan. I love the office in the city where you can work undisturbed. You are doing such exciting knits my goodness. Happy design and knitting while you are away ❤❤❤❤😊

[@aim7128]

Your hair looks so so so good!!! You are GORGEOUS!! ❤❤

[@cesmith48]

I lost your Channel. It popped up again. So glad. Call it your Studio. You are a Creative.

[@helenlagain]

Normally, I don't do comments on CZcams or participate on social media. But now, I really have to make a comment: I'm a huge fan of your channel! I just recognized that the background of your update after the hairdresser is a place where my husband and I had breakfast on our honeymoon last year. I immediately had this very pleasant Finnland-feeling :):):). We did a road trip through Finnland and when we stayed in Helsinki for a few days, I discovered your book "Knit This" without even knowing that it was published. By the way: Yesterday I finished my very first sweater - it's the "Stay Up Till Dawn Sweater" and I'm so satisfied with it! Thank you for all your work and your willingness to share it.
Nice greetings from Germany ;)

[@57athina]

What a sweet, lovely, happy woman you are. Very charming and talented. I’ll have to plow through your content and catch up I
Just happened to come across your channel today. Thank you for your infectious passion and joy.

[@elaineenstone6834]

What an interesting week, so lovely to see glimpses of your knitting life. 🇬🇧

[@Bobbieliz]

Your crochet bag is so neat! I remember when I visited Montreal, Quebec in the late 60's, I think, or early 70's and that style was all the rage at least in that city. I loved seeing them, didn't crochet then, but oh how I wanted one...but they were sold out in stores where I was looking. I am reminded how much I still like them in seeing yours.

[@chrissy24-7]

You have that great air of excitement before a special trip ❤ . Lol I love that the most important thing is what project you bring,😂 it's so true !

[@heatherrohrs728]

Your hair looks great! Love all of your videos! Enjoy your trip!!

[@jinnywessel7442]

Your vlogs are a joy to watch as always. I love them all.

[@sewlivi]

AHH! I'm excited about your upcoming video showcasing Seoul. I used to live there in the early 2000's and I miss it all the time. ❤❤❤

Happy Birthday Kika. Thank you for all the care and attention you put into your videos x

[@MsRachaelRoberts]

Belated happy birthday dear Kika. Hope you're having a wonderful honeymoon too with your lovely husband. Seeing Helsinki on your video was so nice as I visited last year (only for one day sadly as it was for work) and loved it there. I had the best pastry filled with blueberries. ❤

[@thecraftypoppet9488]

Thanks so much for sharing this vlog! I love your energy and I honestly hope you make more weekly vlogs, I found it very motivating to get on with my own crochet design goals and stop procrastinating. Finland looks so beautiful! Where I am in Australia it never snows, it's so cool to see it again after growing up in the UK.
