Hazel, you will never know the gift you gave me when you kindly put a video of yourself purling on youtube. You turned me loose into a whole new world. I could barely make a stitch then, and now I'm knitting Shetland lace. I'm not saying its easy, but I can do it. I've done Fair Isle and I've done ganseys, and some cabling, but it all started with that foundation of basic stitches done well and done fast.
I love knitting Fairisle. My granny taught me but we are not Scottish but Welsh. It’s a lovely hobby. People who have never learned to knit are missing out so much. I am envious of the Scottish knitting culture though and have loved every minute of this podcast. XAngela
Thank you Hazel and Janette. You are treasures. The section on choosing colours is very precious to me. I am always fascinating when you explain your colour combinations. Love to you both.
Thank you both for the opportunity to hear and see your program. The colour selections are so helpful and all the examples lovely. Myself and 5 others were to have classes with both of you and Elizabeth Johnston in September. It as you know.... At this time there are 3 or 4 really hoping to make the tour next year. I’m so looking forward to next September! Terry Prehara from Knutsford BC Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you ladies it was nice to see your knitting projects. Good to reinforce pattern - motif and which hand to hold the yarn in. Cannot hear enough to reinforce and see the differences.
What a treat to find this today. I've been watching all of the SWW posts online. I know I'm not in Shetland, but it is the closest thing to being there. Thanks so very much! It is very much appreciated. I will share this with my knitting friends.🇨🇦
thank you for sharing your experiences of fair isle. I loved the comments on how some colour arrangements might be frowned on. It made me smile. I am sure that would be me with the wrong colour choices.
I so enjoyed watching your chat video, I have been inspired to get cracking again, its good to have something on the go and that has given me the nudge. Thank you 😊
Ooh when she brought out the scissors and started cutting into it like that... terrifying for me who's only ever knitted with cotton! But the prospect of not weaving any ends in is tempting.
What a joy to hear others who don't like those awful charts with morse code! So important to pass on the old skills, as well as the leid, which both are being lost the county owr.
I’m Scottish and a knitter and you’re making me very homesick!

Thank you! I enjoyed a great knitting holiday in Ireland last year.

Love to you both.
Thank you! I find explaining how to choose colours hard.
thank you for this
Thank you!
I could listen to this beautiful, lilting accent all day long. Very interesting and informative.
Thank you!
Lovely to hear the stories from different generations of knitting. Thank you!
Thank you!
Very interesting and informative - and fun to watch while Fair Isle knitting in Devon!
Thank you!
Thank you both. Was lovely to hear you talk. Hoping one day to make it to Shetland WW.

So interesting your video. Thanks
Really lovely to listen to you two chatting about your memories and about what you've been makkin ☺
That was interesting. Thanks!
I particularly enjoyed your brother's jumper, seeing the insides.....
Thank you! No doubt the jumper should be handled while wearing cotton gloves.....

Thank you! I know some of the colours I dislike are loved by others!

I really enjoyed this. Love the history
Thank you!
Many thanks for this, such a pleasure to watch and learn. Happy memories of a visit to Shetland decades ago!
instablaster...
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and skill. When you started cutting the jumper, though, I cringed!
Thank you. I really enjoyed listening, especially at the moment when it's easy to feel isolated from other craftspeople
Thank you!
Thanks so much for this. I’m feeling inspired to do some more Fair Isle.
That’s what I like to read!
So interesting to listen to you both - even though I can't knit!!
Thank you! Maybe you’ll want to start knitting!
Ooh when she brought out the scissors and started cutting into it like that... terrifying for me who's only ever knitted with cotton! But the prospect of not weaving any ends in is tempting.
This had me smiling all the way through! Really enjoyed hearing you talk about colour and can’t wait for your Q&A on instagram tomorrow!
Thank you!

I would love it if Hazel would chart her brother’s jumper. It would be fun to make it up!
Thank you! I will think about it. Tracey Doxey uses similar patterns
@@hazeltindall I'll look her up.
Wonderful! Does anyone know a Canadian source for the long DPNs and belt?
You can have belts and needles shipped from Shetland.
I like how Janette uses the "thee" & "thou" forms. Is that common among Shetlanders?
What is the best length for double pointed needles and knitting belt
