Revealing the Yarn I Bought on My Vintage Trip to Shetland

[@emilykatemadethis]

The cardigan at 8:39... Oh my 🤩🤩🤩🤩 I have dreams of going to a Shetland, but for now I'll live vicariously through you 😆

[@sophieinspired]

The red sweater with the blue white fairisle yoke you showed around min 8:45 looks amazing! Yes please I would love to see that rather sooner than later 😅💖

[@thegretaverse837]

I hear you! I'll try to squeeze it in before the new year! Thank you for letting me know there is interest!

[@sophieinspired]

@@thegretaverse837 of course but no pressure 💖

[@julianacunha3855]

Agree!

[@PerkyVelociraptor]

I would so watch the shetland lace video! That would be quite an undertaking, good luck!

[@kerryclarke6501]

I'm so happy I found your channel and can't wait to go back to the beginning of all your episodes. Love all your yarn, thanks for sharing.

[@heiroot]

When you finish the projects, you should send a picture of the finished projects to the people you bought the yarn from!

[@jenniferbakos6913]

Yes to the Christmas video

[@onepurpleostrich]

I'm really excited for the puff sleeve fair isle cardigan. The colours are beautiful!

[@karenlewis8855]

Yes to the christmas video!

[@valeriea.gladstone6440]

I need that pattern! the red. Green with envy!

[@maggieelora7660]

Just found your channel, and would love to watch any videos you make for any of your projects! I love vintage/inspired projects.

[@thegretaverse837]

Thank you so much and welcome!!! More coming very soon-- I'm so glad that people such as yourself who enjoy vintage clothes as much as I do are finding this channel!

[@reivenne]

Oh wow, you were in Aberdeen! That's where I live. You probably went to MY favourite yarn shop: Wool For Ewe? Love that place and the ladies who run it are the NICEST ladies. Also West Yorkshire Spinners is probably my favourite brand :)

[@Bub5257]

What a gorgeous video, I’m so pleased to have found your channel. Cheers Chris 🇦🇺😀

[@thegretaverse837]

Thank you so much for visiting! I'm very glad you enjoyed it-- more coming soon!!!

[@anetabartkowiak9763]

Thank you for your video. I had a good time watching your knitting plans and all the wonderful yarn. I got inspired and purchased the Bonnie Thistle Waistcoat. I wonder if your size is the same that is offered by pattern (36 inch) or if you need to adjust the number of stitches. I am not sure how to do that and unfortunately this pattern is too small for me. Do you have any advice? I think adding more stiches is a little bit difficult since this waist has flowers…Thank you for your work and sharing your projects.

The yarn envy is iMMENSE. Also I'm lowkey eyeing that Susan Crawford pattern, the vest you made in the last video was incredible!

[@thegretaverse837]

Hehe mission accomplished!!! The Maggy vest is really a great knit I'm sure you will love it!

[@graceg4550]

Im soooo for the content to come! I think Im most excited about the thistle vest! But its so hard, they all are so exciting!

[@thegretaverse837]

Ooooo well you will be very happy to know its very soon on the roster! Thank you so much for watching!

[@FIGITALREVOLUTION]

Awesome!!!!

[@sophieinspired]

You‘ve been knitting since you were 4?? 😱 wow! Would love to hear more about that and what you made in your early years

[@thegretaverse837]

Yes I have! I might do a Q/A around Christmas-- I can try to talk more about that in the video-- if you have any specific questions please let me know!

[@sophieinspired]

@@thegretaverse837 no specific question just generally interested in the journey!

[@gill2246]

Shetland lace shawls are just so beautiful, don’t forget to thread it through a wedding ring

[@locomademoiselle]

YEYYYY amazing! :) excited to see your knits in the future! and 100% yes would love to see the Shetland lace shawl you make - I would not have the patience for that, but would love to see how you find it! Also, out of interest, what was the name of wool you found in the gift shop? what is the pattern of the top you're wearing in J&S shop? It's gorgeous! and was the trip part of a tour? I really want to go to Shetland next year, so getting some research done xxx

[@thegretaverse837]

Thank you so much for watching! I will definitely try to document the shawl then! The name of the wool from the Scalloway Museum is called "Foula"-- The sweater I was wearing has a making process in another video on my channel if you are interested! The trip was a tour I took with my mum with Rowan Tree Travel-- I'm not sure if they are running another one this next year- - but either way I highly recommend visiting!

[@locomademoiselle]

@@thegretaverse837 woop woop! looking forward to seeing :) Sorry, I'm so silly, I'd already seen the video and top you made so beautifully, duh! Went down the rabbit hole of Susan Crawford patterns again! hehe. Thank you for the tour info, will check it out! xxx

[@buzzy.bee.crafts]

Did you take the trip with Rachel Is Knitting? Lovely haul

[@thegretaverse837]

I went with Rowan Tree Travel-- thank you so much!

[@sharonschaub2113]

Interesting! 6:05

[@Jen-cx9sf]

How is the Uradale wool? Is it soft? I didn’t make it to Wool week, 😢 our accommodations went bust so couldn’t get there, although I live on Skye.

[@thegretaverse837]

The Uradale wool is quite soft! I find it to be very enjoyable- I will be buying again for future projects- highly recommend!

[@emilyjortner4252]

oh, that sweater is probably a reference to the UNBELIEVABLE Kate Bush song cloudbusting and its amazing video, starring Donald Sutherland. go watch it IMMEDIATELY. I'm not kidding.
