Knitting my way to Dublin and back | Knitting Vlog 

Oh my gosh that story is WILD! I never would have believed it. Just goes to show you can't always read people The way you think you can. Very nice vlog. Your country is in my bucket list. Well it's number one on my bucket list ❤

Wow! That was an interesting story. I went and looked it up even before you said you posted the link and his name...what a life changing experience.

Love your knitting. I think you were being held hostage on that train for awhile. So funny. Pleased you escaped. ❤

Thanks for the travel vlog, have only been to Dublin once (to see Kraftwerk in concert- so good) but made sure to go to This is Knit while I was there, what a great shop. And so interesting to hear the guy on the train wasn't just making that story up. It so sounds incredible!

Hello Emma! Loved the travel scenery..dreamy coffeeshop and lattes for sure. Happy travels, happy knitting 🎉😅

I'm an American who loves the travel vlogs. I get a chance to see places I'll probably never get to. Your sweater is beautiful!

What gorgeous socks and sweater!

Hi Emma, I love your videos 😁 thanks for sharing the story about Peter, I'm from Ireland and never heard of tjis before. I watched the documentary, it was fascinating.

Love the story 😂. How funny that he was actually telling the truth. Good on you for checking it out. I so want to o come back to Ireland one day . Love the knitting progress too.

Loved the story, I always feel like every time I travel I find such quirky people, so this made me laugh.

Love this episode! Scenes from Dublin/Trinity College brought back memories from my trip in 2017 and 19. Love This Is Knit shop every time I visit. Very friendly staff. Interesting story from the stranger on the train. We never know what our fellow man has experienced in their life. For example, my daughter recently climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro, but if you met her you wouldn’t believe it. Looking forward to ordering yarn from your November update. I like your natural sock yarn.🧶 ❤❤❤

Love the story thank you for taking us with you x

to see the view out of the train.... I loved it. I have never been there and it is very beautiful , in the city as well. Thank you!

I love this episode. Fun to watch Knitting great to see all the sites.

Delightful podcast! It’s a small world😅

Thanks for sharing your day in Dublin, I'll probably never get there but it looks lovely. Your projects are great, loving the texture of the jumper. 👩‍🌾👩‍🌾👩‍🌾

Hi, Emma. Belfast looks like a beautiful city. I like both of the projects that your knitting. Thank you for sharing your day.

Loved going along on your day trip to Dublin and hearing about the man on the train. So funny!

Loved following along on your trip to Dublin! Haven't been to Ireland in years but I miss it!

sounds like a lovely day in Dublin! thank you for sharing, makes me nostalgic for the year I lived there

Hello Emma, thank you for this episode. A good moment in my rainy day ! 🧡🧡🧡

Oh what fun on the train! Knitting and stories. Really fascinating. Thanks

Such a lovely departure from your usual vlog, Emma! I so enjoyed your trip scenes ... Trinity, the famous Liffey and Drogheda...to mention a few. I've read so many historical books about Northern Ireland but have never travelled there. Only vicariously!! Thank you again..Love your projects..

Emma - this is such a great vlog. Thanks so much for taking the time to put it together. The story about the Baghdad hostages is incredible. I have watched the documentary you linked which is fascinating. I can’t believe that’s the man you were sat next to!!!! What a fun day out ❤

Great podcast! I’m from the Midwest of USA, so appreciate you sharing your visit to Dublin❤

Me encanto este blog ❤🇺🇾🇺🇾🇺🇾

Omg how crazy that he was actually telling the truth!!

Beautiful Dublin 🌹

Loved your story and the knitting! I was afraid for you at first walking by yourself.

Meeting you at This is Knit was a real pleasure!! ❤❤❤❤

Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha incredible story at the end!!!!!!!!! 😂😂😂

Ciao! I am one of the girls from Barcelona! It was lovely meeting you and your friends! Hoping to meet you again, maybe in Barcelona. Un abbraccio ❤

Emma I finished my ferny corner shawl with your yarn. Would love to send you a picture.

Fui al video que recomiendas del palacio de Sadam😮

FUN post! I am in the U.S. and I so envy you all being able to so easily take trains to destinations. It is NOT like that here. Love the story of the painter/decorator, and that he had indeed been held hostage in Saddam Hussein's palace. Still chuckling here.

Isn`t it amazing what characters and/or situations one encounters sometimes. I think this story is one of importance. I think you will meet these people or situations for a purpose in life. I think they want to tell us something. I see, that this man lives totally in the past. He has not yet been able to put his ordeal behind him. He keeps telling people about it, like a stuck record, over and over again. He needs to close that "book" of his life and put it into his life`s bookshelf, focusing on the next book or chapter. It is hard sometimes to do, because this new "book" has nothing concrete in it yet, just thoughts and imagination, because we live in the here and now, and it writes itself always out of the here and now. Only in hindsight we can make out the letters, sentences and the story, which we have manifested in. Hm, how about this: You are sitting in a train, moving forward, but you are sitting in the seat that faces opposite of the driving direction. It is like that: You are moving forward, but you can not see your destination, and looking at the past, the places you left behind. Now, make yourself sit in the other seat, facing forward. Now you can feel movement forward. You can`t see the destination yet, but you know you are on your way, and you are looking at your knitting, or the cabin you are sitting in, and at the present moment. And your new book writes the first brand new page: "Sitting in a train, going home; my hands are making that familiar movement of creating stitches on my knitting needles. I cannot see the finished result yet, but it is appearing slowly. Outside the window, shadowy trees rush by, merely dark pillars in a greyish fog. The warmth of the cabin is welcoming and the man opposite from me finally fell asleep......... I wonder what he is dreaming about...... Huggs from Fairy Tale Cottage, Schurwald Forest, Germany.

So nice traveling with you. Lovely to see the cities and beautiful buildings. How long did it take to travel on the train?

Loved this short and sweet podcast. Can you share the pattern for the sweater vests you are wearing?

🌷🌺🌸💕

Fáilte go mBaile Átha Cliath 💚 You were in the Books Upstairs café. They say it´s Dublin's oldest independent bookshop. If anyone is interested, Bewley's Oriental Café in Grafton Street is also worth a visit, it's very luxurios with loads of gorgeous stained glass windows. It's very popular, so reservations are recommended. Great video Emma !!! 😀

That cafe is Books Upstairs on D'Olier Street - know it well:) What knitting shop would you recommend in Belfast - if I was to get the train up from Dublin some Saturday?

That story was so wild I’m surprised it is true 😂

What size shoe do you take or how long is your foot. You say you cast on 48 stitches for your sock... but wondering how big your foot is.

Hopefully, you learnt a lesson to not make assumptions about people.
