Come with me while I feed the sheep on the croft in Burra Shetland in the snow, then join me beside the fire while I speak about the knitting projects I have recently finished and the many WIPs I have on the needles. Then join us on a wintery walk to the beach and along the coast near my home.

I would love to see you knitting with three needles on your Shetland Wool Week hat! Lovely video! Lots of color inspiration on your walk!!

Donna, if you’ve never knit socks before you have stumbled upon the VERY BEST sock yarn I’ve ever worn! My first pair was the mizzle color, the natural grey, and they smell so wonderful! Made sure to use up every last inch in some shorty socks w/contrast cuffs, heels and toes ♥️♥️🧦

@ssharpe9869 4 месяца назад

Thank you for the video Donna and what a way to end it with a wintry walk around the croft. Love to see the projects you're working on and I especially enjoy the interruptions from the dogs. Can't wait to get my hands on some of your newly dyed yarn. Of particular enjoyment is listening to your accent. Keep the sheep happy! Sue from Cape Cod, MA

Yes Please! I Would Love To Hear About Knitting Belts And Wires From A Native Shetland Woman. How Incredible! I Love The Yarns You Dye Naturally. I'm Really Glad To See You Here! Having A Winter Like Me!

@roberthoward3723 6 месяцев назад

Loved this vlog better entertainment than tv and very educational . My wife is the knitter but must confess to finding you very interesting especially the walk on the island. As an amateur Artist I appreciate your Craftiness thank you!

@corriendunar3436 6 месяцев назад

Just discovered your lovely vlogs. So cosy and love that you dyed your wool with natural leaves. Hope to see you soon again here. Have a lovely weekend 🧶🧡

@carolroy5435 6 месяцев назад

Good morning Donna 👋 So good to see you podcasting! I purchased yarn from you about 3 years ago to make the Brough shawl and its the pride and joy of my collection ❤ We have snow here too in southern Alberta 🇨🇦 but that's nothing new for us 😉 Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.

@suebrown436 6 месяцев назад

A lovely surprise to see you this morning, Donna. I wish you would make more videos on your studio, your knitting and Shetland life - but in any case, it would be lovely to see you showing us more about knitting with the knitting belt and 3 needles, as you mentioned! Keep warm.

@wendyhumphreystebbutt5782 5 месяцев назад

Knitting belts would be a much appreciated video.

@janemellowes674 6 месяцев назад

Interested to hear about knitting with traditional knitting belt in a future podcast. Loved seeing your bit of Shetland.😊

@carolyncampbell6149 6 месяцев назад

So lovely to have this video pop up on my feed, I enjoyed it so much, thankyou. I watched some videos last year on a Shetland knitting group but stupidly didn’t subscribe and they disappeared! So glad to have found yours.

@susansatchwell8482 6 месяцев назад

Loved everything you made plus lovely Shetland words…I would use brighter colors for me and in some cases lighter wools as I live in warmer climate. I do hope you make more of these you tubes!

@jpoexpo 6 месяцев назад

Someone really talented must have edited this video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@allisondobbie2375 6 месяцев назад

Really enjoy your videos Donna, thanks very much

@megwickwire1689 6 месяцев назад

I'm so glad I stumbled upon this lovely window into your life on Shetland. Your cozy stove sitting area and the sheep feeding and your interactions with your sweet dog already put me in the mood for knitting, but the tour of your WPIs sealed it. Thank you for sharing your creative life with us! P.S. I'm thrilled at the prospect of a video about knitting belts. I bought one last year, but I can't figure out how to use it effectively. Maybe because I keep the working yarn in my left hand? I look forward to your tips!

@elizabethrutledge8182 6 месяцев назад

Hello Donna - what a lovely treat to have a visit with you! I love all your knits and I hope to one day treat myself to some of your beautiful yarn 🧶 your blanket especially appeals to me. My word your animals are a hardy bunch - your chickens were so cute - I’m not sure our girls would know what to do with snow!! I live in Tasmania, the little island state of Australia, so I feel in a similar position and understand the advantages and disadvantages of living on an island 😊 btw my daughter-in-law is named Skye !

@Juleslovesknitting 6 месяцев назад

Hello Donna from Australia (moved here in 1979 from Scotland). Another great video and seeing what you’re working on. I’ve only seen the knitting belt on Fruity Knitting so would love for you to chat more about it. Thanks for the scenery of your beautiful home, Julie

Lovely catch up with you and Skye. I’ve cast on my Wearing Cardigan which I love and just finished my Mytilus Wrap which is gorgeous. So nice, I want to make another in darker colours. Enjoyed seeing your WIPS and the scenery of course. Take care Lesley (Australia) 😊

What a nice surprise on a Sunday afternoon to this video appear. I am currently working on my Riptide Slipover using your yarn in the Light Stane colorway that I purchased while at Wool Week in 2022. So glad in I finally figured out a pattern for this lovely yarn like one of your projects it’s been a couple of projects! Enjoyed the cold weather walk thanks for sharing.

@lorrainekrahn4498 6 месяцев назад

Hello from northern British Columbia, Canada. 🍁 I just came across your vlog. How interesting to see anther part of the world. I got excited to see your buggi-flor beanie. I ordered the pattern and made one so far. It would be interesting to see you knit using the knitting belt. I purchased a Gansey pattern book, and there was some information there. I also gave just knit my first pair of socks despite having been knitting for about 10 years now.Glad I’m not the only one

@lorrieschiller5201 6 месяцев назад

Hi Donna. Loved your video and the peek at all your projects. Enjoyed the walk - a lot warmer from my couch! I’ve made your Baa-ble Hat and your Maijies Cowl. Looking forward to future videos. 🌺

@leitesta1725 6 месяцев назад

Wonderful to see you and thank you for sharing all your knitting and dyeing practice and the walk around the Croft - so beautiful to see God’s creatures and creation!! ❤

@christinevalentine3373 6 месяцев назад

Beautiful colours and thanks so much for sharing your wIP’s, I don’t usually have many projects on the go but understand the inspiration needs to be fed when it’s hungry 🤭

@carolinehannan3921 6 месяцев назад

Hello Donna. Welcome back! I have really enjoyed both your episodes. In between I knitted the Interisland scarf and really love it. I visited Shetland in 2022 and thought it was very beautiful but it must be challenging in winter. Thank you!

@sammy1269 6 месяцев назад

I love the colour of that cardigan that you've almost finished, amazing! Great to meet Skye, what a sweetie❤ I would be so interested in seeing your dying process. Thank you, such a beautiful and interesting podcast

@evabevans2442 6 месяцев назад

A lovely episode from start to end! All of your projects were beautiful, and I especially loved your 2-color Buggiflooer.

@barbaravanbuskirk707 6 месяцев назад

Thank you for this new episode! I knit two more of your Baa-ble Hat patterns, which I absolutely love, within the past few months. I've knit a bunch of them! I really enjoyed seeing some of your other designs, WIPs, Langsoond yarn (beautiful!), clipping, dyeing and more. Dan Lebowitz's music is lovely and perfect background music to accompany your walks. Happy New Year!

@ThePattiw 6 месяцев назад

I lovely episode, thank you! I love how your yarns look, the colours and the perceived squish of them. Maybe one day I will get to experience them in person. And I did love the footage of the seaside walk 💕

@wendyhumphreystebbutt5782 5 месяцев назад

Your wearing jumper is beautiful. Is there a version for men? I think I need to make one for my hubby - in a teal-green - as the moths have gotten at the one he’s had for decades. Yours in Gratitude

@annettebowersox1976 6 месяцев назад

Love your work!! ❤ Do you ship to US? I went to your store, I am not great with computers, I was not able to see shipping cost. I have found you on Ravely. All Soooo beautiful!! I am going to make one of your Haps, and thinking about your latest book. But have never knit bottom up. I am a little afraid 😱

It must cost a king's ransom to get wood brought to your island.

@sheonaghgall5010 6 месяцев назад

Hello, love your podcast. I am still looking for the pattern of the cardigan you shared on the last podcast. Thatch by Erika Knight. Even the book seems unavailable. Do you have any tips on how I can get hold of a copy of either the pattern or the book?
