- Hazel started knitting Fair Isle about 12 years before Janette was born. Here they speak about how they started, what other people were knitting at that time, and how practices have changed over the years.
Shetland Dialect to English translation available - Janette and Hazel speak with a beautiful Shetland accent using lots of Shetland words. They have provided subtitles in English for you just in case you don't catch all of their words. You need to click subtitles on at the bottom of the screen to see them.

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’m Scottish and a knitter and you’re making me very homesick!
Thank you ! That was sweet to be in on your conversation. Take care.
Thank you!
thank you for this
Thank you!
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!
Thank you both. Was lovely to hear you talk. Hoping one day to make it to Shetland WW.
Thank you! Shetland is a great place to visit at any time of year.
Wonderful! Thank you ladies!
Thank you!
So enjoyed your chat Ladies. Best wishes from Ireland.
Thank you! I enjoyed a great knitting holiday in Ireland last year.
I could listen to this beautiful, lilting accent all day long. Very interesting and informative.
Thank you!
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! I find explaining how to choose colours hard.
Lovely! thank you, ladies!
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 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.
Thank you!
Thank you, it was great to watch
How lovely to see and hear you both speak. Learnt even more tips. Wonderful week, thank you. ❤️
Thank you!
Wonderful! Enjoyed this so much!!
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.
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! Looking forward to 2021!
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.
Thank you! I know some of the colours I dislike are loved by others!
I really enjoyed this. Love the history
Thank you!
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.....
Many thanks for this, such a pleasure to watch and learn. Happy memories of a visit to Shetland decades ago!

Thank you. I really enjoyed listening, especially at the moment when it's easy to feel isolated from other craftspeople
Thank you!
So interesting your video. Thanks
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.🇨🇦
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!
Really lovely to listen to you two chatting about your memories and about what you've been makkin ☺
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.
This is the most delightful video I've ever seen. Thank you so much.
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.
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 😊
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and skill. When you started cutting the jumper, though, I cringed!
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!
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
