Great to see someone knitting and casting on/off etc “normally “ and not faffing about. Easy to follow. Loved the video. I’ve knitted for 50 years and never done y so I’m going to give it a go x❤
Hazel T. Amazing voice and hand movements! I could sit next to her with a big fireplace and just watch and listen ! I have strived for years to have that smooth of a movement pattern! ❤️
Dear Hazel Tindall, you’re a true master of your craft and I feel immensely grateful that you’re sharing your knowledge and experience with us like this! I’m about to embark upon my first Fair Isle project, and choosing colours is very tricky indeed. You have such a lovely voice to listen to, and you explain things very clearly and show everything so it’s easy to see what you’re doing.
It may be my imagination but her lovely voice and accent make the project look super easy.. I have steek anxiety ...a winter project waiting to be knit will have to be steeked FOR 66 in...
Thank you so much oh you are such an amazing teacher I was such a blessing finding this video I pray you make more If you’re able to sending you endless love and appreciation❤️🧶❤️
I learned a new cast on! Much easier on my arthritic left thumb. Don’t know how I never came across that in my many yrs of knitting but I love it. Thank You
This is my second time watching with a coupon years and more colorwork experience in my arsenal! I think the darkest dark with the lightest light is finally making sense! Thank you, Hazel🧶☺️👌
A tip about choosing colours. Lights, mediums, and darks are the values of the colours. Go to a stationery or craft or quilt-related store and get a sheet (8” x10”) of red Mylar. Lay the selected colours on a surface as Hazel did. Stand with your head approximately 2 feet/60 cm away from the yarn. Hold the sheet of Mylar very close to your eyes and view the yarn. You will not see the actual colours of the yarn, but you will see light, medium, and dark values. Now you can sort into groups and achieve the desired contrasts. Ta da!! I hope it helps you. It’s fun to take the red sheet to a display of house paint colours. And a fabric shop. Or simply view from your window, the ocean or lake, a forest. What you think is a pastel may turn out to be a saturated medium value, or darker. Oops, more than “ a word.” 😉
Lovely lesson from a lovely lady. Your calm, cool, collected tutorial will take the fear out of the whole process for anyone new to colorwork or steeking, and the bookmark is the perfect project to conquer that fear!. I’m going to share the video with my local knitting group and encourage them to try it. Thank you.
A wonderful class with lots of useful information. I particularly liked the bit in the middle showing how to select colours for Fairisle. I’ve always had trouble with that. Her dry comments about all the different methods of casting on and off made me grin. If it’s ok for Hazel, it’s ok for me! Many thanks.
I guess I had only ever thought of Fair Isle knitting as a series of geometric patterns and a specific technique. But I liked the explanation of how to make the colors kind of go gradient, and how that's part of the Fair Isle style. Really eye-opening!
Thank you Hazel. I live far away (California) and desperately want to learn to knit with a makin belt and Fair Isle knitting. These videos help bring you closer and get me ready to make the jump to your videos, etc. This helps me take baby steps!
This was so enjoyable to watch. Thank you Hazel for such a patient and informative video. I shall really enjoy knitting my own bookmark, as an introduction for other colourwork projects I hope to do. Fabulous! 😄😄
Thank you for this video. The explanations are so clear and I really enjoyed the explanation of colours. I've started knitting Fair isle again after many years, I've made some gloves following the colours given in the pattern. You've given me the confidence to choose my own pattern and colours for the next pair I make. Once again many thanks.
Thank you, this was very nice. I learned several things, and I am not a beginner. I just got your Wylk Ebb scarf pattern to make a scarf for my husband for Christmas!
I love this video, Hazel is the best teacher! I'm in America, and have searched for the definition of a "Puddle" stitch to no avail. The CC spells it puddle, I don't know if that's right or is it 'purl'? Thank you for any help you can give. Keep up the great work Hazel!
Dear Hazel please make the stitches SLOWER do that we beginners can keep up with your lovely and valuble tutorials. Any hats comming up for the Winter? Just love how you explain everything so Carefully to us. 👏 🤗
Once again, thank you for a very informative video. Would you be able to do a really slow paced video on how you create stitches with about 1/3 the movement a lot of us make - I think that is what some people mean by "throwing" the yarn.
Several years ago I found a long slow motion RUclips video of Hazel knitting. It was excellent but I haven’t relocated it recently. Maybe she can provide the link.
@@OkTxSheepLady: Now, I found the video recently, so I'll put the link here: "hazel tindall knitting.AVI" ruclips.net/video/mA0nTh3dqGw/видео.html and here is Hazel doing purl: "doing purl stitch" ruclips.net/video/YMIi3uRh-MM/видео.html
@@resourcedragon thank you for the links. Both are good. But neither is the one I saw a few years ago. It may no longer be on RUclips for some reason. I should have downloaded it but that’s above my skill set on the phone.
What is the word for the first row? Sweerygeng? I really want to know, and I want to know the meaning! Thank you for this incredible tutorial! I made a bookmark and had sooo much fun! I learned a lot. Thanks again for this wonderful video, Hazel!
Thank you SO much! I wish I could afford your wool for a sweater. I'd like to know why you steeked and knitted in the round for a flat piece. The steeking info was very helpful. Isn't this a little thick for a bookmark? Sorry, I didn't mean to write a book. Shetland is at the top of my wish list, but I guess I'll never make it. Thanks, again.
Steeking makes it possible to keep the right side always facing. It's easier to knit colorwork rather than purl it and of course it's easier to see what you're doing at all times.
Amazing have you thought about a yoke sweater knit along for beginners? I’m sure it would be a massive hit. I definitely would sign up. You make it sound and look easy 😍
Im just starting stranded colour work and im researching how many dpns to use? everyone seems to use 3 -5 with spare worker needle. but i notice that iin shetland you only use two...looks far more comfortable than juggling 5 dpns for a sock....im a knitter...lace or cable in the past but want to try in the round and colours but im not sure which method to choose to get off on the right foot...help?
No matter what you do it is a bit cumbersome to begin with but I (Shetlander) think it is easier to use 3 needles - 1 for the front, 1 for the back then knit with the 3rd.
This video would be so much more useful if the point of the viewer didn’t jump back and forth so very much. When she is knitting the view should be just on her hands in only one position. I hope the editors will take these suggestions as constructive criticism given with thanksgiving for the videos.
very nice woman, enjoyed her chat. Decided to watch this before purchasing her instruction video. Its fuzzy and not a close up of her hands as I was expecting. So I wont be buying her video as it might as well be on the radio.
I enjoy listening to Hazel, but the audio could be much better. She is often difficult to understand as she speaks down to her knitting. In addition her hands sometimes cover the knitting and the camera is distant from the work. This is frustrating because I like what she is doing and would really like to hear/see more and better.
Petition to make hazel a podcaster/audio book reader, her voice is so soothing
I’m now a volunteer reader of The Shetland Times fir those who can not see to read it themselves.
I agree ❤
I wish the close up camera was closer over head to see the details. Thank you for sharing your talents.
I could just listen to Hazel for hours and hours!!
I'm knitting another project, but have Hazel on just to listen to her voice and have her 'keep me company' while I work. She is truly a gift.
I do the same! It’s nice to have the company whilst knitting lol
Me too ❤
I love it that the first row is called "the swearing gang" Wry lot, those Scots.
Hazel's commentary is brilliant in its simplicity. She is the epitome of teachers. Thank you.
Thank you so much for bring Wool Week to the world, and thank you Hazel Tindall for sharing your time and teaching us ! 🇨🇦
Thank you!
I agree! She should read children's books... or adult cozy mysteries...
Great to see someone knitting and casting on/off etc “normally “ and not faffing about. Easy to follow. Loved the video. I’ve knitted for 50 years and never done y so I’m going to give it a go x❤

thank you, thank you, thank you. You've given me the inspiration to try for myself to make a small piece of fair isle pattern.
I could also listen to you voice, clear, comforting and at an achievable pace. Thoroughly delightful. Many thanks.❤️
Thanks - I do try to remember folk need time to adjust to an unfamiliar accent.
It may be my imagination but her lovely voice and accent make the project look super easy.. I have steek anxiety ...a winter project waiting to be knit will have to be steeked FOR 66 in...
Thank you so much oh you are such an amazing teacher I was such a blessing finding this video I pray you make more If you’re able to sending you endless love and appreciation❤️🧶❤️
Such a joy to see and hear the wonderful mrs. T!
Perfect wish I were there learning ❤ Lovely Lady Lovely Knits 💕🌷😊
Thank you Hazel. Love your knitting. Beautiful. Greetings from South Australia.
She is so calm,it has been enjoyable to watch it,
Prachtig gemaakt, leuk om te maken,liefs❤

I can watch and listen to you all day, so much to learn from this lovely little project, Thank you for doing this.
Thanks!
Thank you Hazel. Putting colours together is something I always find difficult. I shall watch it again and take notes. 🙏😘
I always find it hard to explain!
Common sense teaching with a smile. I will try this technique in my next project.
Birdy
You had me then you lost me. I’m a total beginner but I aspire to make your bookmark one day. Thanks for sharing your gifts!
Appreciate the tips on the contrasting colours Hazel. Love your gentle manner in explaining the entire process of knitting the Fair Isle patterns :-)
Such a pleasure to learn from you, Hazel. Thank you for taking the time to prepare this video.
Thanks!
A wonderful and very generous pattern, thank you so much. What a treat to be able to follow Hazel Tindall’s instructions.

Thanks.
Wow, I picked up several pointers that I will use in my next cardigan. Delightful tutorial. 🇨🇦
Thank you! Hope to see your next cardigan!
This is a wonderful tutorial, thank you!🇨🇦🥰Sharon.
I just discovered your content. It’s amazing and so important that you are capturing these artists’ stories. Thank you so much!
Thank you Hazel. You made cutting so much easier to understand and took all the fear out of the process. ❤️
Thanks; it’s important to remove fear.
Excellent video and instructions, thank you Hazel
Thank you!
I just found this! What a lovely chance to learn more about Fair Isle knitting! Thank you!!
Lovely tutorial. Thank you Hazel Tindall.
Absolutely delightful. Thank you so much for this enjoyable watch. :)
Thanks.
Thank you! I love watching you knit!
So helpful and wonderful!
This was so enjoyable to watch. Thank you Hazel for such a patient and informative video. I shall really enjoy knitting my own bookmark, as an introduction for other colourwork projects I hope to do. Fabulous! 😄😄
I love seeing that you do the long tail cast-on the same way I learned as a child in 1956.
Thank you for this video. The explanations are so clear and I really enjoyed the explanation of colours.

Thank you, I have learned very much and I will try to make a bookmark right now! 👏🇸🇪🤗
Thank you so much. Love your instructions.
Learned a lot.
I have learned such a lot from these delightful videos. Thank you Hazel for all the tips and I hope to visit Shetland one day for a woolly holiday!!
Thank you for sharing your skill and experience x
Thank you!
Thank you for this beautiful video! ❤
You are an amazing teacher! Thank you!
This was fantastic! Thank you so much, Hazel, I’ve learnt so many useful tips! 💐🧶
Thanks! Delighted to know you’ve learned from me.
Thank you Hazel I really enjoyed your tutorial and learned a lot!
Thanks.
Thank you, this was very nice. I learned several things, and I am not a beginner. I just got your Wylk Ebb scarf pattern to make a scarf for my husband for Christmas!
Very interesting! Thank you Hazel :)
This project would be a nice way to do a swatch for both gauge and pattern. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Thanks. I always knit useful swatches - when a swatch is necessary!
Just delightful, thanks so much
Thank you!
@@hazeltindall you know, when I sit with you via RUclips, it’s the best tonic a knitter could ask for. Lucky us to have you in our lives.
I love her voice!
Thank you!! Invaluable information!
Thank you!
Thank you for such a lovely lesson!
Hazel, thank you for this tutorial. I’m intrigued as to why there is a need to knit in the round, then steek the bookmark, if it is flat piece?
I love this video, Hazel is the best teacher! I'm in America, and have searched for the definition of a "Puddle" stitch to no avail. The CC spells it puddle, I don't know if that's right or is it 'purl'? Thank you for any help you can give. Keep up the great work Hazel!
It's just the pronunciation of purl in Shetland, and in some other parts of Scotland. The rolled r in the middle gives it two syllables - pu-rl :)
Thank you so much! I love learning all about different cultures and they way we all knit!@@nice2nettles
Fabulous. I loved it.
Thank you, I always count by fives too.
Absolutely amazing!
Dear Hazel please make the stitches SLOWER do that we beginners can keep up with your lovely and valuble tutorials. Any hats comming up for the Winter? Just love how you explain everything so

Can you knit this book mark on circular needles and if so do you have a pattern?
What is the word for the first row? Sweerygeng? I really want to know, and I want to know the meaning! Thank you for this incredible tutorial! I made a bookmark and had sooo much fun! I learned a lot. Thanks again for this wonderful video, Hazel!
Lovely video!! How can I get hold of the pattern please? The link in the description says that the file has been deleted. Thanks in advance!
I have updated the link 😊
@@JamiesonSmith Thank you so much!!

Seeking! It is painful. But the results are great.
Wonderful video but is the pattern still available somewhere? Please?
I have updated the link 😊
@@JamiesonSmith Awesome! Thank you so much!😊😊😊
How do you do Mrs. Tindall, thank you !
Thank you. I always Learn so much from your videos. But what do you mean by ‘puddle’, I have forgotten?
I had to watch to find out! think it must be my accent as it’s’purl’ not ‘puddle’.
Hazel Tindall haha. Apparently it’s not just you because it’s pretty distinct with some others also. Definitely accent. Now I know. 💜
Amazing have you thought about a yoke sweater knit along for beginners? I’m sure it would be a massive hit. I definitely would sign up. You make it sound and look easy 😍
I'm not able to open the dropbox to get the sheet to follow along with the video
I have searched for the pattern - but unable to find it. I would like to do one with the steek. Thanks
Hello, we have a sheet that goes with the class which is linked in the description. 🙂

Could I do this with Magic loop?
Does the document link work for anyone else
The link has been updated 😊
You need to zoom in so we can see what you're doing. The camera is too far away. Really could not see anything. 😣

I love this video and Hazel's work, but i must say for a tips & tricks video she is knitting too fast for a beginner to keep up with anything lol
I can’t really see what you doing sorry
I enjoy listening to Hazel, but the audio could be much better. She is often difficult to understand as she speaks down to her knitting. In addition her hands sometimes cover the knitting and the camera is distant from the work. This is frustrating because I like what she is doing and would really like to hear/see more and better.
You might find it helpful to turn on the subtitles. You can also play the video at a slower speed.
Too Quick and not close enough for the ( french) beginner I am...désolée Thanks a lot, anyway
