Great video ❤

I enjoyed this video so much!

Bought the pattern but I seem to stuck by the foot. Do not understand

Perfect- thank you!

So beautiful to listen to and watch. I am already a spinner but just learned so much more from watching this. ❤

I don’t know why you are not satisfied with that jumper, it’s beautiful and the colours are lovely. If you hadn’t said it was made of yarn leftovers no one would have guessed. It’s a beautiful tribute to your grandmother.

I love these videos. Thank you so much!

I’ve never attempted fairisle, but have always admired it. Are all garments knitted in the round? It must be lovely to be part of a knitting community. Really enjoyed your video. Very interesting and informative. Thank you.

Such an informative episode. Where is Bunchy's online shop? Beautiful natural colours from herbage.

The best method and explanation I’ve seen Thankyou

How inspiring is nature!

Just finished knitting my Fairag cardigan. Really enjoyed knitting this, the garment is so pretty and practical and I love wearing it. Thank you Elizabeth

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing your gardens and world!

What a joy! Fantastic exploration of the knitting, complete treat to hear it spakin in Shetland ❤

Stunning colours and designs, thank you for sharing as a keen knitter I will look up your patterns. ❤

Two wonderful ladies who are inspiring their community to continue with the knitting heritage of Shetland. Fab video. Thank you ❤

Wonderful video Alison your knitting sock part reminded me of knitting baby booties for my now adult sons all those years ago. Keep enjoying your life and knitting. Warmest regards from Australia

Thanks so much! This is the clearest, most thought-out video I've seen. If I don't understand what is happening in the instructions, how can I fix a mistake? Or alter for a different size? This is brilliant! I'm subscribing! ❤

Such a very interesting video!

Thank goodness knitting has survived the trials of our times. I learned as a child and have taught a few of my children.

Loved this video and wish you happiness and success with your croft, Rachel. ❤

Thank you for sharing,top of my wishlist to come and spin on the Shetland isles,keep it up ladies from south East Ireland ❤

Just, beautiful. Thank you Alison ❤

Greetings from Canada! This video filled a hole in my knowledge I hadn't noticed until recently - I was teaching knitting to my daughter's class at school, and at her request I brought in my ring shawl to show the class when I brought in some other examples of things that I had knit for inspiration. Some of the students had wanted to know how the lace would have been used traditionally, and the best I could give was that it was exported, it was knit for income. I really appreciate hearing about how the lace was used, because now I can answer that when it comes up next.

This is wonderful, thank you so much!!

I was thinking when Bunchy was saying that she felt sad when she poured the hot water over the flowers, really she is just giving those flowers an exteneded life. Now their color can live on for so much longer in the yarn that she is dyeing. Flowers are here today and gone tomorrow, but the dyed wool will last for ever so much longer. And if the flowers could feel or think, how happy they would be knowing that their beauty is continuing to bring joy to others long after they would have faded from memory if not for Bunchy's work and love.

Thank you so much, that was excellent.

So lovely-knitting, history, scenic landscapes and poetry in one!! Thank you! I am amazed how they use such a different knitting technique to the one I was taught in the Swedish school over fifty years ago. We ise what I thinknis called continental knitting. This Shetland technique , with the knotting belt(?)seems faster and leaves more room for the hands to steer the two strands of wool. Would be very interesting to learn!

Lovely inspiring film ,thankyou. Ive been to shetland, lovely place and lovely people.

Absolutely beautiful craft. Idk which way to go and ask my money gone to taxes

Thank you. Do you have a video on betsy joint, I can't figure out how to do it.

So you do use shorter needles for gloves! I just learned to use a belt, but I’ve always used short needles for fingers!

Thank You from Germany. I am a spinning Beginner and love to learn from the Best. ❤

Where can I find your patterns?

I love this! I’ll be in Shetland this June and I would love to buy the pattern and the wool there.

I’m going to Shetland in June on a knitting tour. It would be great to meet you. You are a wonderful knitter.❤️

Beautiful tutorial! Thank you.

A wonderful podcast

Thank you for sharing this artifact.

It is lovely to have a chance to see (and learn about) objects held in store. More please!

Wonderful details. Thank you!

This video has been so helpful to me! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us! I had been following written patterns for gloves, but was having trouble with the gaps between the fingers. Your technique is amazing and worked so well!

The Shetland colors seem to be ones that men will wear, which makes sense, since jumpers were functional garments. I found your comment about the American market wanting brighter colors being chalked up to "the customer is always right" humorous. I guess I'm a typical American in wanting more colors. As a seamstress of almost 60 years, I have found that younger people are discovering home sewing, but most of the women of my generation rejected the traditional home economics sewing. I knitted a little as a child (although not the yokes your students mastered). Now that I'm retired, I've been returning to knitting and select projects that will teach me something new. I wonder if your children learned to knit as you did, to keep the tradition going.

I watched this to keep me company as I’m attempting to recreate a 1940s Tyrolean cardigan. Thank you so much for this beautiful film.

So glad to see your video. I worked as a staff nurse in Shetland in the sixties. Ihave many happy memories of my time there. Im 84 now, however i plan to visit this summer with my husband and daughter.
