Wat zou ik graag een vel wol kopen 😊

Where is this place?!

Beautiful filiming. I love fair isle. Without music would be better.

Where in Kansas is this? Looks dope asf!

Fire

How hard did you find it to get a job in the USA when you came back? Did companies look at it poorly on your resume?

Was it worth it? I am 24 year old woman and worried I am too old for this. I got a school outside of Cordoba and I was going to commute to the town.

This aint art.

I need to go here looks lit

Yo I live in Kansas where is this at?

Poor sound, good film!

Thanks for posting this - I enjoyed it very much. You needed to have shown yourself knitting, Benjamin, in order to show you've got knitting chops! Or at least show *someone* doing some hand knitting (even if it's you!). And what kind of sheep are we looking at there? Very enjoyable. Did you make a career out of this documentary-making business??

With its lovely content, this could have been a fascinating documentary, but unfortunately the incidental music was too loud and busy--it detracted from the interviews in an unprofessional, even disrespectful way, as if you didn't actually want your interviewees' voices and words to be heard. I don't believe you intended this, and now I see farther down in comments that you're aware of the problem and wish you could do a do-over. Three years later, I imagine your skills have greatly improved! I wish you the best.

The music under the video is so annoying, please, next time you do these videos dont put music in or turn the music down.

I had to stop watching this due to the annoying music/noises that made it virtually impossible to understand what the interviewees were saying. Too bad because it appeared to be otherwise well produced.

I just started looking into this deckhand in Alaska stuff and I’m ready to pull the trigger and get out there but unsure the best way to secure a job/ where to look. Any tips?

Knitting simple pieces..it makes me appreciate the jumpers made here in Fair Isle..thanks for this one..a hard to get to place but worth it.. it seems..as they say civilised.. 🧶 .. ❤.. 🧶

i've been to fair isle a few times, it's really worth a visit. and not at all so difficult to do as you might expect. if you're an artist, you might like to do a residency at fair isle studio.

Beautiful film. Thanks for doing it and sharing I am an old granny knitter and found the background music and sounds made the interviews difficult to hear. Using subtitles was distracting because of so many wrong words. Fair Isle was always printed as feral. But lovely and informative film.

Go Bearcats! Willamette '09 alum!

Disappointing that the sweaters are not knitted by hand ☹️

I can’t listen to this the “music” is horrendous in my ears..( tinnitus survivor )

Thanks Benjamin I loved your film because I love to knit and learning the history & background of different methods of knitting makes knitting mean so much more to me than just a hobby or craft. And yes, we all need to "Wise Up" Thanks

So glad the wool needles hands podcast led me here, what a lovely piece of film

Thank you

Wow Mr. Burton, thanks for breaking this down, it’s crazy how much goes into shooting videos. Your fans love this BTS content. Great work 🫡

lil momma killed it with all the bts shots and this was such an amazing project P.S tell Lucas we miss the Arri

Thank you for a lovely video and for further insights into how the knitting is done nowadays.

I love that you are a knitter...thank you for the visit to Fair Isle. Such lovely people.

Please, next time you make a video, could you make it without music to accompany the dialogue. It is very hard to hear what is being said....

The music is really maddening!!! I almost stopped watching because of it.

So inspirational!

lovely video but disappointed that you didn't show any actual knitting being done

Hi from PDX. Was watching "the repair shop". They mentioned in a spinning wheel segment about fair Isle,that wheels parts would be made from wood washed up from the sea, since there's no trees there.

No need for music when people are talking; it doesn't maximise the impact, just detracts

Love this!!

This came across my feed as I get interested in stranded knitting - imagine my surprise to find out it’s a WU student! Go Bearcats! (JD 2008) Thanks for the video!

Such a pity you have machinery running and music throughtout interviews. Plus panning over the knitting, the in and out of focus is annoying. The pace and general content very nice.

YES BEN YES!

Is it common for landlords to be able to speak English? Or would it better to have a Spanish-speaking friend help me communicate thru Whatsapp?

this would have been a nice film, but it turned out an acoustic overload, thanks to random notes being forced upon the viewer who is desperately trying to make out what the featured people are saying. i am sure, t would have been most interesting. but, alas, one cannot hear it. this is not a documentary. it is a lecture on how not to do a soundtrack.

Why is the music so loud?!?!?

Too cool she's hot as shit

Now they require intermediate level of spanish language

My grandmother was a Fair Isle knitter. Beautiful knitter. She also knitted lace and crochet as well. I knit too so did my mum. Maybe in our Scottish blood.

Great story. All the best Ben!

RW2 sign this man!

RW2 would be fortunate to have you Ben! Best of luck!!

Absolute FIRE someone sign this man already!!!
