I love your life and what you're doing with it. Thanks for the inspiration. Will get going on one of your wonderful sock patterns. So lovely.

Do you have the name of the friend or family member she's sitting next to in the croft? That might be a lead to trace down. If you can find the other woman's descendants or something, show them that picture of their grandma and ask who's that woman wearing the Fair Aisle Allover sitting next to her.

Such a fabulous exhibition! I loved seeing it during Shetland Wool Week. Please please please publish a monograph of the collection!! I would love to purchase it and I’m sure many others would to!!

I would love some day to take the time and effort to make even a small version of these shawls. The lace weight yarn I use seems even too thick, so I’d have to find a good source of the thread.

Is dit oude wol

I have ancestors who knitted Canadian sweaters, and ancestors who were sheep herders, and yarn makers in the tehachapi mountains. The wool and yarn went to Canada and the lace went to Spain.

Oh I could crochet my bunnies all day a listen to them chat and knit.

Love this! Where can I buy your book?

Thank you, Alison! I learned so much by watching you. I've long been curious about how a knitting belt is used. As I age and arthritis grows in my hands, it looks like using a stationary needle requires less movement. I'd like to try it.

Wow just find your video those blue socks are beautiful...amazing..I would never be able to knit this...😊 Do you sell them? Everything you knitted is amazing. Well done to keep this tradition on..

A lightbulb moment.. I suddenly understand your explanation of turning the heel.. magic!!

It’s wonderful to see your culture and traditions. I hope you are not getting invaded like we are. 🇺🇸

Thank you so much for the video.

Thank you for this lovely video! I’m a knitter from a wilderness, forested part of the state of Nevada in the U.S.A . I have learned to knit fair isle in the last couple of years and have made 4 sweaters, and about 10 hats. I learned this year to use a knitting belt and long double point needles which has increased my speed considerably. I love this type of knitting above all others. I often knit outside, but where I live i have to keep a wary eye to spot the extremely large bears that frequent the forest. They have caused me to drop a stitch or two as I dash for the safety house when they approach.

I could just watch and learn for hours. Thank you for this video!

Wonderfully informative. Thank you

Finalmente una dimostrazione di e spiegazione delle maglie da prendere in giro alla base delle dita e come lavorare per non ar venire i buchetti. Grazie 👏

I raise Shetland sheep in the US and this is one of my favorite videos to watch and re-watch.

Great video ❤

I enjoyed this video so much!

Bought the pattern but I seem to stuck by the foot. Do not understand

Perfect- thank you!

So beautiful to listen to and watch. I am already a spinner but just learned so much more from watching this. ❤

I don’t know why you are not satisfied with that jumper, it’s beautiful and the colours are lovely. If you hadn’t said it was made of yarn leftovers no one would have guessed. It’s a beautiful tribute to your grandmother.

I love these videos. Thank you so much!

I’ve never attempted fairisle, but have always admired it. Are all garments knitted in the round? It must be lovely to be part of a knitting community. Really enjoyed your video. Very interesting and informative. Thank you.

Such an informative episode. Where is Bunchy's online shop? Beautiful natural colours from herbage.

The best method and explanation I’ve seen Thankyou

How inspiring is nature!

Just finished knitting my Fairag cardigan. Really enjoyed knitting this, the garment is so pretty and practical and I love wearing it. Thank you Elizabeth

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing your gardens and world!

What a joy! Fantastic exploration of the knitting, complete treat to hear it spakin in Shetland ❤

Stunning colours and designs, thank you for sharing as a keen knitter I will look up your patterns. ❤

Two wonderful ladies who are inspiring their community to continue with the knitting heritage of Shetland. Fab video. Thank you ❤

Wonderful video Alison your knitting sock part reminded me of knitting baby booties for my now adult sons all those years ago. Keep enjoying your life and knitting. Warmest regards from Australia

Thanks so much! This is the clearest, most thought-out video I've seen. If I don't understand what is happening in the instructions, how can I fix a mistake? Or alter for a different size? This is brilliant! I'm subscribing! ❤

Such a very interesting video!

Thank goodness knitting has survived the trials of our times. I learned as a child and have taught a few of my children.

Loved this video and wish you happiness and success with your croft, Rachel. ❤

Thank you for sharing,top of my wishlist to come and spin on the Shetland isles,keep it up ladies from south East Ireland ❤

Just, beautiful. Thank you Alison ❤

Greetings from Canada! This video filled a hole in my knowledge I hadn't noticed until recently - I was teaching knitting to my daughter's class at school, and at her request I brought in my ring shawl to show the class when I brought in some other examples of things that I had knit for inspiration. Some of the students had wanted to know how the lace would have been used traditionally, and the best I could give was that it was exported, it was knit for income. I really appreciate hearing about how the lace was used, because now I can answer that when it comes up next.

This is wonderful, thank you so much!!
