[@lyndalowery480]

Thankyou so much for your beautiful vlogs and for taking uscwith you on yourFibretreks and adventures. I love all the interesting creative areas you get into and watching the magic appear as you create! I live in NZ and I usually watch you as Im spinning. Im also a learning weaver...at 71! Thought I would be too old....but of course we are never too old to have fun! I wish you every good blessing and again....thank you!

[@FiberTrek]

I'm encouraged by your attitude ;). Weaving is on my agenda for the fall!

[@sheilalee5377]

Thank you for sharing your trip with us and showing us your excellent haul! I especially enjoyed seeing your new bracelet - dragons are the best!

[@KnitMyWayHome]

As always, such a fun episode! ❤ It was so much fun to see the Orkney treasures and take a wander through the knitting adventures.

An RV will be a wonderful way to see the Yukon. I so hope everything goes smoothly for you. We are having a much above average wildfire season as I am sure you have heard. There are currently over 800 fires burning in British Columbia. The Yukon wildfire bulletin is updated on Wednesdays. Things can change in a heartbeat with a little rainfall. Wishing you safe and happy travels and looking forward to updates on your travel and knitting and canoeing adventures!

Your aesthetic runs parallel to mine. My heart is in my throat for the entire time that your blog runs. Thank you for sharing your travels with us. Thank you for your inspiration. I was so excited about the book the "Wild Light", that I ordered it while watching you, so I needed to go back to watch what I had missed. I feel hopeful seeing the beauty in your art. I sometimes feel the world is crumbling under my feet, but you are another hand to hold. I continue to pick up my needles for another day and take comfort in wool.❤

[@FiberTrek]

I hope you enjoyed Wild Light...she is getting ready to release another book soon. I am humbled that you find inspiration here and grateful that this project it is part of your own process of moving through the days. Blessings, Sarah

[@christinebrown6154]

[@FiberTrek]

HI Christrine! So glad you enjoyed the video!

[@holliegiampietro7030]

TU I always enjoy ur podcasts❤

[@bonniel3679]

I seem to be drawn to Scotland these days, if only on KZbin. Between you , Corrine Clare and her videos of Rachel's croft, the Albanach knitter from the Isle of Arran and Ailie on the Thoughtful Knitter I'm loving it. Your colorwork sweater is stunning as are the many treasures you brought home from your trip. Enjoy your travels to the Yukon and your RV adventures.

Gorgeous vlog! Thanks for sharing your trip

[@andreamarshall9677]

Beautiful video of Orkney! Your knitting projects are lovely!!

[@donnaflynn9452]

Ah, Folk Shawls was one of my first purchases before Ravelry, as well. I knit Stora Dimun in Nutiden, also, a couple of years ago in Rose Quartz. I'm happy to be a new Patreon member! Thank you for all of your inspiring and beautiful content. ❤

[@FiberTrek]

Thank you Donna, It's nice to know someone else knit a folk shawl in nutiden and survived. I so appreciate your financial investment in the project...thank you!

[@lostinsomerset6002]

Lovely blog as usual, so thoughtful. How lucky to see a hen harrier, they've been heavily persecuted so great you saw one. Just an FYI that they are a different bird to a goshawk.

[@FiberTrek]

Thank you!

[@wendysullivan5511]

Love all your treasures, especially the artwork in that wildflower book!

[@songbirdsadeknits]

I really appreciate your inspiration to use older patterns and patterns in books. I also enjoy knitting from books, but I find myself forgetting to look through them when I want to cast something on.

[@FiberTrek]

Right...I am feeling more and more drawn to my old knitting self and dodging the main stream trends.

[@ninad5692]

I always love the blue and green of the Scottish islands. Funnily enough I just watched a video from Woolly Mammoth Fibre Co. (N. Ireland) where she talked about her struggles with Nutiden, sounded similar.

[@pathowes32]

Thanks for taking us with you to the Orkney’s. Looks beautiful there

[@catherinecunningham7126]

The Orkneys look gorgeous! Your purchases are beautiful, what treasures. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. 🌸

[@gailweeks4334]

PS: The ring design would look lovely reincarnated as a cable design on the bottom edging of a shawl or sweater.....hint hint!

[@FiberTrek]

Well Gail...this is going to be added to my thoughts...but are you familiar with Elizabeth LaVold?

[@lynntimmer1620]

So so beautiful! What joy to be part of the Scottish islands, even for a short time! When you mentioned seeing a lapwing, my ears perked up. I have not seen one, but the colorway "Lapwing" in Alice Starmore's Hebridean wool is my "favorite-est" color ever! I made her Irish Moss sweater in that colorway. I turned her pullover into a cardigan. I digress. I enjoyed the episode. Thank you

[@FiberTrek]

Me too!!! Lapwing is a favorite as is the sweater from Glamorie!

[@josefinegunning9743]

Hi I love all your different blouses in that pattern! Would you mind sharing it so I can sew one myself?🥰

[@FiberTrek]

The blouse I typically wear, the green blue one, is the Remi Raglan from Sew House Seven.

[@dianalindsay804]

Enjoyed yet anther of your videos…love your top…is there a pattern?

[@FiberTrek]

Well, I think you might be referring to my fox top which is the Ann Carolyn Smock by Ellen Mason. Glad you enjoyed the episode!
