Absolutely loved this video, such amazing talent. I’m just finishing my first colour work jumper and enjoyed the time knitting and learning. Now looking to my next challenge. I recently finished a Shetland shawl with the wool from Jamieson’’s. Lastly my maiden name is Rendall with all my family from Orkney but my parents moved for work hence I was brought up in Edinburgh. That’s lots about me but my admiration regarding your talent is top notch.

Thank you so much. I really enjoyed the film - the scenery, the sheep, the gorgeous knitted items and the commentary. I am wondering if the pattern for the red jumper with the pattern in the yoke that was labeled item #879 is available for sale? I would love to purchase the pattern.

I'm glad you enjoyed the film, thanks for watching ~ the red yoke was just one I made for myself, I've not written up the pattern as yet.

Would love to hear you reading more poems - or prose. May I suggest, no music in the next one. It’s hard for the brain to concentrate on the words as the music intrudes.

I live in a remote area of Death Valley, which is obviously very different to Unst. I live in the desert which is extremely hot in the summer (50 degrees), but the remoteness and beauty of the landscape makes me feel a kind of kinship with what I see in this beautiful video.

Lovely ! I would love to try those too ! Yes , swedish for star is Stjärna, we pronounce the first 3 letters back the throat like your clearing throat😅 I'm was trying to find a way to explain but there you are 😂.....love that the words are so still there, amazing, you do so well. I've been struggling with my health but improving so look forward to a few walks, but knitting by the fire for sure is lovely. 😊

Update 5 days after my original post here: I've run out of yarn A just before the end of round 9 of chart E. Fortunately, I'd ordered another ball for some other small projects, so the beanie can be finished without any delays. I'm wondering is this is actually a confession that I'm not very good at Fair Isle knitting as a more expert knitter would get the hat out of the one ball. Or, alternatively, does this mean that the length of wool in a ball is a bit variable?

❤❤❤ Love this video, well done. Such a beautiful design. I was hoping to hear you pronounce it! But I’ll stick with the way it’s spelled and assume phonetics. Thanks.

I'm just about to begin row 17 of chart C. My wool arrived on Wednesday (EDIT: today is Sunday, so 4 days later, for anyone reading this in the future) - it takes a long time to get to Australia, I ordered it as soon as the pattern came out. The pattern is easy to follow and this is the first time I've ever knitted a beanie. I love the design, it was exactly the sort I was hoping for.
