Petition to make hazel a podcaster/audio book reader, her voice is so soothing

@hazeltindall 2 года назад

I’m now a volunteer reader of The Shetland Times fir those who can not see to read it themselves.

I could just listen to Hazel for hours and hours!!

@melanievanni9072 3 года назад

I'm knitting another project, but have Hazel on just to listen to her voice and have her 'keep me company' while I work. She is truly a gift.

@kaotically 3 года назад

Dear Hazel Tindall, you’re a true master of your craft and I feel immensely grateful that you’re sharing your knowledge and experience with us like this! I’m about to embark upon my first Fair Isle project, and choosing colours is very tricky indeed. You have such a lovely voice to listen to, and you explain things very clearly and show everything so it’s easy to see what you’re doing.

@elizabethfox8004 Год назад

You have such a soothing voice Hazel. Love the video

@jampubs1 3 года назад

A tip about choosing colours. Lights, mediums, and darks are the values of the colours. Go to a stationery or craft or quilt-related store and get a sheet (8” x10”) of red Mylar. Lay the selected colours on a surface as Hazel did. Stand with your head approximately 2 feet/60 cm away from the yarn. Hold the sheet of Mylar very close to your eyes and view the yarn. You will not see the actual colours of the yarn, but you will see light, medium, and dark values. Now you can sort into groups and achieve the desired contrasts. Ta da!! I hope it helps you. It’s fun to take the red sheet to a display of house paint colours. And a fabric shop. Or simply view from your window, the ocean or lake, a forest. What you think is a pastel may turn out to be a saturated medium value, or darker. Oops, more than “ a word.” 😉

Great to see someone knitting and casting on/off etc “normally “ and not faffing about. Easy to follow. Loved the video. I’ve knitted for 50 years and never done y so I’m going to give it a go x❤

@hazeltindall 3 года назад

Thanks - I do try to remember folk need time to adjust to an unfamiliar accent.

@jubilada2001 Год назад

It may be my imagination but her lovely voice and accent make the project look super easy.. I have steek anxiety ...a winter project waiting to be knit will have to be steeked FOR 66 in...

Lovely lesson from a lovely lady. Your calm, cool, collected tutorial will take the fear out of the whole process for anyone new to colorwork or steeking, and the bookmark is the perfect project to conquer that fear!. I’m going to share the video with my local knitting group and encourage them to try it. Thank you.

@ThePattiw 2 года назад

A wonderful and very generous pattern, thank you so much. What a treat to be able to follow Hazel Tindall’s instructions.

@brendahamblin4559 3 года назад

A wonderful class with lots of useful information. I particularly liked the bit in the middle showing how to select colours for Fairisle. I’ve always had trouble with that. Her dry comments about all the different methods of casting on and off made me grin. If it’s ok for Hazel, it’s ok for me! Many thanks.

@emilycreager2269 2 года назад

I guess I had only ever thought of Fair Isle knitting as a series of geometric patterns and a specific technique. But I liked the explanation of how to make the colors kind of go gradient, and how that's part of the Fair Isle style. Really eye-opening!

Thank you for this video. The explanations are so clear and I really enjoyed the explanation of colours. I've started knitting Fair isle again after many years, I've made some gloves following the colours given in the pattern. You've given me the confidence to choose my own pattern and colours for the next pair I make. Once again many thanks.

@resourcedragon Год назад

Once again, thank you for a very informative video. Would you be able to do a really slow paced video on how you create stitches with about 1/3 the movement a lot of us make - I think that is what some people mean by "throwing" the yarn.

@OkTxSheepLady Год назад

Several years ago I found a long slow motion RU-vid video of Hazel knitting. It was excellent but I haven’t relocated it recently. Maybe she can provide the link.

@@resourcedragon thank you for the links. Both are good. But neither is the one I saw a few years ago. It may no longer be on RU-vid for some reason. I should have downloaded it but that’s above my skill set on the phone.

@oceansoul3694 Год назад

I love this video, Hazel is the best teacher! I'm in America, and have searched for the definition of a "Puddle" stitch to no avail. The CC spells it puddle, I don't know if that's right or is it 'purl'? Thank you for any help you can give. Keep up the great work Hazel!

@nice2nettles 10 месяцев назад

It's just the pronunciation of purl in Shetland, and in some other parts of Scotland. The rolled r in the middle gives it two syllables - pu-rl :)

@marybethdimarco3215 2 года назад

Hazel, thank you for this tutorial. I’m intrigued as to why there is a need to knit in the round, then steek the bookmark, if it is flat piece?

@mooglepoo 3 года назад

What is the word for the first row? Sweerygeng? I really want to know, and I want to know the meaning! Thank you for this incredible tutorial! I made a bookmark and had sooo much fun! I learned a lot. Thanks again for this wonderful video, Hazel!

@gillianleather5147 Год назад

Can you knit this book mark on circular needles and if so do you have a pattern?

@kaylemoine1571 3 года назад

Seeking! It is painful. But the results are great.

@bikrgran 3 года назад

Thank you SO much! I wish I could afford your wool for a sweater. I'd like to know why you steeked and knitted in the round for a flat piece. The steeking info was very helpful. Isn't this a little thick for a bookmark? Sorry, I didn't mean to write a book. Shetland is at the top of my wish list, but I guess I'll never make it. Thanks, again.

@lauraandrews1676 3 года назад

Steeking makes it possible to keep the right side always facing. It's easier to knit colorwork rather than purl it and of course it's easier to see what you're doing at all times.

Amazing have you thought about a yoke sweater knit along for beginners? I’m sure it would be a massive hit. I definitely would sign up. You make it sound and look easy 😍

@chloehefford7416 3 года назад

Im just starting stranded colour work and im researching how many dpns to use? everyone seems to use 3 -5 with spare worker needle. but i notice that iin shetland you only use two...looks far more comfortable than juggling 5 dpns for a sock....im a knitter...lace or cable in the past but want to try in the round and colours but im not sure which method to choose to get off on the right foot...help?

@JamiesonSmith 3 года назад

No matter what you do it is a bit cumbersome to begin with but I (Shetlander) think it is easier to use 3 needles - 1 for the front, 1 for the back then knit with the 3rd.

@cakanemovies 3 года назад

Thank you. I always Learn so much from your videos. But what do you mean by ‘puddle’, I have forgotten?

@hazeltindall 3 года назад

I had to watch to find out! think it must be my accent as it’s’purl’ not ‘puddle’.

@cakanemovies 3 года назад

Hazel Tindall haha. Apparently it’s not just you because it’s pretty distinct with some others also. Definitely accent. Now I know. 💜

@barbgrunau808 3 года назад

I have searched for the pattern - but unable to find it. I would like to do one with the steek. Thanks

You need to zoom in so we can see what you're doing. The camera is too far away. Really could not see anything. 😣

@vivianvan-standen5004 3 года назад

very nice woman, enjoyed her chat. Decided to watch this before purchasing her instruction video. Its fuzzy and not a close up of her hands as I was expecting. So I wont be buying her video as it might as well be on the radio.

@OkTxSheepLady Год назад

This video would be so much more useful if the point of the viewer didn’t jump back and forth so very much. When she is knitting the view should be just on her hands in only one position. I hope the editors will take these suggestions as constructive criticism given with thanksgiving for the videos.

@magouniii Год назад

I love this video and Hazel's work, but i must say for a tips & tricks video she is knitting too fast for a beginner to keep up with anything lol

@marieangeli3333 3 года назад

I enjoy listening to Hazel, but the audio could be much better. She is often difficult to understand as she speaks down to her knitting. In addition her hands sometimes cover the knitting and the camera is distant from the work. This is frustrating because I like what she is doing and would really like to hear/see more and better.

@resourcedragon Год назад

You might find it helpful to turn on the subtitles. You can also play the video at a slower speed.
