- Now you've met us, we're back with our first proper vlog. We're chatting about new yarns and fabrics that are coming in this season. Plus some projects we've worked on and are working on. Plus Stuart decided to spring a pop quiz at the end, do you know the difference between a knit and a knot?

Hi Stuart. Just discovered your channel. It is fun watching while I knit and crochet. I gave total attention when you showed the sketches and talked about your designer friend. I'm looking forward to seeing more with this. I also enjoyed the conversation between you and Aine. Thanks for the work you are doing.
Thank you for your kind words Richard. Your message has made my day. Yes, Colin and his designs are so cool. I'm starting the breton as we speak as he's now developed a pattern, so I'll keep you updated! Me and Aine love doing it. It's a scary world on social media, but considering we've only just started, we are thrilled with the responses from people so we'll keep going! Thanks for taking the time to message :) Stuart
Hello. Fiber Hustle mentioned your podcast. I have come to see you and I love what you have talked about. Glad to find your podcast xxx
Hey Annie! Awww thanks for taking the time to pop over from the Fiber Hustle boys to have a look! Welcome to the other side of the pond as it were hahaha. Lovely to have you. Stuart

Well... I have just binge watched all of your videos...and am left waiting for more:) Found you via your Great British Sewing Bee Chat. I live in Georgia in the U.S. and am also a teacher. So interesting to hear your thoughts about your shop...your are clearly a teacher at heart! Aine...I enjoy your fresh approach to making. For those of us who are a "bit" older it's good to hear the perspective of people who are newish to sewing and fiber work...makes me look at what I do with fresh eyes. I am curious to ask...when you knit, you "throw" your yarn (American style) as opposed to "picking and knitting" (what Americans call the British way of knitting). Which way do most knitters in your shop knit? Can't wait for your next video...cheers!
Hi! Delighted you like our videos, we're going to do another Sewing Bee chat soon. Such a good show! I learnt how to knit years ago from my godmother and it's what I did again when I started knitting in the last year or so. I've just had to google the difference, from what I've seen in the shop, lots of folks throw, I don't think I've actually seen anyone pick - I'll have to poke Stuart to see if he's noticed it. Thank you so much for watching, massively appreciate it :) - Áine
Stuart here! What a lovely message - thanks for taking the time to write to us and it's lovely to know that the shop is interesting to watch! I have to say I havn't looked back since leaving teaching. I loved my 16yr career of teaching 12 to 18 year olds but I was ready to move on and try something new!
So....knitting. Yes, most of us here in the UK will 'Throw' the yarn. Traditional style British Knitting. Where the yarn to the ball is in our right hand. With picking and knitting, the yarn to the ball is in the left hand we call it 'continental' knitting as this style is very european, It's very quick for stocking stitch. Sock knitters will do this approach. I've given it a go and it is quick. A bit more of a faff when doing purls, but it is quick and less movement invovled. But it didn't feel proper to me, so I've stuck with british style and throw my yarn :)
I hope we can keep on enteraining you and you find us and the shop interesting to follow :) Stuart
