Thank you Alison....your little walking tour around where you grew up was very beautiful....I can imagine children playing in those old buildings and food cooking on the hearth. I live a long way away in Western Australia and really enjoy knitting.

[@AlisonRendall]

It's good that knitting links us together wherever we are in the world:)

Thank you Alison. Your fairs are like our County and State Fairs in the US. It’s so nice to get to see a bit of Shetland for those of us who couldn’t come there during Wool Week.

Thank you, Alison. It was wonderful to see your family Croft. It’s much like I imagined my ancestors living environment. I thoroughly enjoyed your walk and talk around Lerwick. You learn so many things by just listening to history passed on by those who live locally. My great granny’s family name was Leask and my grandad’s family name was Williamson. I know that there are still many Leask’s and Williamson’s living in Lerwick. My mom and uncle were born out here in Victoria, BC and I now have many Williamson cousins here all living on the island. I think Shetlander’s and Scots folk are spread out around the world. It was lovely to see the farm and craft fairs. I love going to them myself. We hold them out here all over Canada. I would love to come to yours. Perhaps one day I will be able to. Thank you for sharing your knitting knowledge and products as well as the Shetlands with us. I will continue to follow your videos and wish you and your family all the best now and in 2023.

[@AlisonRendall]

So interesting to hear of your background. Yes, there are many Leask's and Williamson's here so some of them must be your cousins. I hope you get to visit Shetland someday. Thanks very much for watching my videos and best wishes for 2023.

Thank you Alison, I really enjoyed this view into your world, it’s so beautiful. Of course your garments are all lovely. The makkin is the important part and I like the early works, it’s a warm testament to your journey.

I have recently discovered your amazing videos. I am so inspired by you and the designs you have created. The history of family fills my heart. I will be searching Ravelry for your patterns and any link to books you may have written. I am following your videos. Thank you Alison.

[@AlisonRendall]

Thank you so much for your kind comments ~ i'm grateful you are watching my videos and glad you are feeling inspired:)

[@leannastoufer6333]

Thank you for this, Alison! I loved seeing the bones of the crofts where your Nan played. And watching your walk through the streets of Lerwick brought back all the wonderful memories of spending a week there this last February. Your patterns are gorgeous, and I have several in my queue.

[@AlisonRendall]

Thank you Leanna, I'm glad the film brought back good memories for you.

[@underthebluesky92]

The fair looks like a fun time, so many beautiful knit items and all the different breeds of sheep. Your history walk was very insightful, generations of childhoods with great memories. Thank you for doing this.

[@AlisonRendall]

thanks for your kind comments.

I just need a nice peaceful life after living in a big City at Newcastle upon Tyne England. I have three children one 35 years old man . My two daughters 16 and 10 years. Hopefully they will help me when i get a lot older.

[@NEILPATTINSON-s1j]

Hi is it possible to retire in Shetland. I am 62 now i retire in about 5 years time. Can you get social housing maybe a home swop in the future. But of course i will be visiting Shetland every year until i retire. Cheers Neil from Newcastle upon Tyne England.

I thought soft fruit don’t grow in Shetland …that’s why Rhubarb was grown ..?
