    Hello! I know it's taken me ages to publish this video, so watching a Christmas celebration in July might be a little bit odd 😅but I hope you enjoy this video nonetheless. I'm on my way to Convergence in Wichita, Kansas today. Will I be seeing any of you there? 🥹💕 I'm hoping to make a video about this week's event and post that ASAP, and then I'll (finally) get to sharing my last semester at FIT. Thank you so much for your patience! I hope you're having a lovely summer ❤

    • @thescottishyarnfestival

      Not only is the Unicorn the national animal of Scotland, it's often depicted tethered in chains.

    Congratulations on an amazing semester! I have such a heart for Scotland, and it was lovely seeing it through your eyes. I learned so much by joining you on your adventures via this channel, and your beautiful outlook on the world and everything in it inspires me. AND, you're such a talented artist/maker/designer! (PS: State-side folks, The Wooly Thistle based in the US is a Scottish Yarn Festival stockist and has flat rate shipping for orders under $99 to anywhere US for just $4.95! I have no affiliation with them other than being a supporter of Scottish yarn.) Looking forward to your next series!

    Your videos are so much fun! I missed seeing you. Congratulations on your many accomplishments. I gasped when you said you taught yourself brioche knitting on your train ride! Your cowl is beautiful. And as a rughooker, I appreciated your yarn dyeing! That was a brilliant use of your leftover dyes.
    Safe trip. I hope you keep uploading content! It’s so worthwhile!❤

    What a beautiful homage to the experiences and journey you have been on! I admit I might have gotten a little bit teary eyed seeing the photos of you returning home, everyone who has had a similar experience of being away for an extended time experiencing new things and learning, can understand the joy of returning to your loved ones. I can't wait to see your vlog from the convergence and your final semester in FIT. Give Frankie some treats on our behalf

    This was such a fun video! And you've inspired me to start spinning again, starting with one of my drop spindles. I haven't done any spinning for a couple of years!
    Looking forward to your Convergence video (feel my envy?) and your last semester at FIT.
