Looks amazing!!

I am rewatching your recap just now. So the needles you need for lace knitting are of course quite fine. Did you bring a whole assortment of needle sizes with you for all the different workshops or were those provided? Just wondering what I need to pack next year. (Can you tell I am excited already?)

I use the queue feature for fantasy knitting and fantasy shopping 🤪 You know that feeling when you have a spark of inspiration or need, like "I NEED a loopy fuzzy boucle sweater" and you go down a ravelry deep dive, dozens of tabs open, researching different yarn bases that you don't own, but you've maybe built a cart on 3 different yarn shop's websites? But realistically, it's the middle of summer, I've got 3 summer shirts on the needles, and a robust Christmas knitting plan that has my next several months booked. I will add my top contenders to my queue, pairing the pattern + yarn, and get that satisfying feeling of having made a decision and thus a concrete step on my path towards getting that dream sweater, without spending any money or actually disrupting my current knitting plans.

Thank you so much for making this video, it is so useful. I’ve been using ravelry for a while but haven’t used the queue feature and my favorites are getting so big that they don’t work for this function any more.

Future Rachel is going to love the fit of this sweater!

Love this - ESPECIALLY that it references your stash. I had no clue, so cool!

I haven't explored Revelry much. Thank you for posting this. I'll pay more attention going forward.

Love Ravelry and love your Ravelry feature tips!! Thank you for all of them

That was so helpful. I really need to learn and use Ravelry more. Thanks!

👍🏻 👍🏻

I loved all your recap videos from Shetland and Ireland. If you could only do one of these tours which one would you suggest? Also what did your husband do while you were in your workshops in Ireland? My husband wants to come with me to Shetland but I don’t want him to be bored

Maybe if you have a pretty container, like a basket, put the combination of yarn in an area you go by often. Pet them, rearrange them, have fun. Like you said, maybe never, ut stop to smell, fondle, pet all the yarns that "give you joy". (Psst, sound familiar) 😉 😊

Wonderful final part of your Irish Knitting Tour. It's definitely made me a little envious seeing all the fabulous places you visited and the great workshops. Until I watched your Shetland tour and now this one I never realised that Knitting tours existed. Thanks for all your hard work in making the videos while you were on the tour and then editing for UA-cam, with all the links too.

About the plastic storage--hack: also put a few cedar spheres or a small block in each, to do the same function (moth repelling) that your chest itself does (even more important for medium to long-term storage). . And about the Doppio sweater. You are not committed to it right now. You should do whatever feels best to you. . But here are five reasons *that you yourself mentioned * why you *should* do it: . It's a pattern you like; it looks to be a fairly quick knit-up; you already have sufficient lovely matching yarn for it; you'd be doing it in concert with dear friends with whom you've been last year and will be in Ireland this Fall; and, it will give you permission to buy other useful, beautiful yarn next time you are there. That's a lot of *plus-side.* All I'm saying. . Take it as you will.

Let’s hear it for the bipartisan rat! (First time commenter, full time rat admirer)

Yes on the doppio! Love all the colors.

Regarding the Doppio, do it!

YES - go Doppio go! Souvenir yarn from Ireland in a garment on another Ireland trip would be absolutely amazing! thanks for another wonderful video. I’m glad you “stuck to it” and re-recorded the episode. Thanks! Until the next time. Salam wa sa’aadah

Love this series

Apparently something shifted in the atmosphere a week or so ago because it seems like everyone suddenly looked up and said in unison "Doppio"

And another pattern goes onto the never ending tbk list

I love the colors you picked for your doppio, I think that you should make it.

I love the colors you picked out for the doppio! If time is of the essence, then maybe pick whichever sweater you're most excited about!

Hey Rachel; Yvonne here. I would DEFINITELY want 2 B a participant in your Cowl Test Knit 🧶 Definitely can CO the Doppio Sweater; GR8 color combination-if you don’t finish it in time 4 Ireland 🇮🇪 then bring it with you 2 work on the ✈️ 🚎, dinner time, etc

Lovely cowl and headbands. And, I’m so with you on learning new knitting skills. P.S. I think everything about the Doppio sounds like fun. Such pretty colors.

Totally agree about new knitting skills. It’s difficult but fun. And, like you said good to have more tools at your disposal. Would love to see a demo of the tool belt one day. Great hat. It’s so funny how colors react to each other-the fawn looks white in the hat. (I actually love that fawn color.)

OMG!!! That cowl you made is the only one that has made my heart sing this Summer. Thank you for sharing it and looking forward to seeing a pattern for it. So beautiful 😊

Doppio- [chanting with fist pumps] Do it! Do it! Do it!

Oh, Rachel! That yarn is beautiful!

Oh, Rachel! That yarn is beautiful!

I really like your cowl. I’d love to test knit for you. Where will you advertise your testing call? I love the grape jam colorway you used for your Greta. It’s a great purple. 💜💜💜

Congrats on your cowl and headband design! They look so good

I love how your videos make it seem like I’m talking to a regular person😊. You have a great conversational style that makes you so enjoyable and relatable and not like a TV presenter.

Rats. Are. Back. 🙌🙌🙌

Your Videos Are Good. Woth Some Strategic Editing. They have the potential to attract wider audience and generate more engagement..

I love the idea of the color blending on the Doppio. And having the white held throughout will give the fabric just enough color consistency.

I just ordered mine - thx for video

I love your videos and your appreciation of Scotland - so nice - but I don't so much love the background music. What about teaming up with Promote Shetland and using their music?? ua-cam.com/video/jB7BbM7ArrY/v-deo.html Just an idea . . . not meant to detract from your very appealing content and presentation!

Love your chicken. I've made 2 but not with the bottom portion. Just couldn't get it to work. It is a fun knit for sure

this is an excellent explanation to share with people who think we charge too much. If you assembly line the rat and make more then that changes the cost too. This is also a wonderful process to check if your projects are profitable when comparing what your time is worth and what the market can sustain. More makers need to spot check their costs like this. It helps you focus on who to make things for. Thank you Rachel for your time on this!

Love it and love you!! You’re also making me feel better about trying a colorwork sweater (that also has steeking 🫣)

Hi Rachel, I loved seeing all your knits and will be casting on the ribbed vest by LionBrand as my first ever garment. In your video you mentioned that at the start you were a much looser knitter than now and I am having the same problem. For the ribbed vest I had to go down to 2.5mm needles and then I am still not completely on gauge and that with worsted weight yarn. So how did you tighten up your stitching, or did it just happen with practice? Thanks so much for all your videos I am bingewatching them right now.

Found your channel by accident, and was super intrigued to hear about your trip as I have strong connections to Scotland (even though I have lived in Australia for decades and am currently living in Darwin, which is in the Australian tropics … 😊). I have to say, this is the BEST bit of armchair travel I have had the privilege to enjoy in ages! Congratulations on a job well done. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 It was a real treat to be able to sit here in my air conditioning, spinning away and knitting, while seeing some places that were so dear to me as a child. I doubt I will ever get back for a visit, but this was the next best thing. I may live in the tropics, but I still love my Shetland lace knitting and Fairisle, so it was awesome to see the exhibits in the museum. Have subscribed and look forward to more of your videos. Hugs from Down Under … 🥰🌴🌴🌴

What a fabulous demonstration! Thank you 🙏

Gorgeous colourwork sweater! I just love these FO diaries videos they are so good!! You give so much info and great advice. All the best Rachel (commenting from Ireland!!)

I enjoyed your video, you inspired me to pick up my knitting once again. Thanks!

Beautiful! I miss knitting Icelandic and other sweaters like this. I grew up in a cold climate, so it was a constant for us. But in southern California and Hawaii where I’ve lived the last 20 years it’s just too warm. But I’ve gotten over it and I’m back to, using wall again and hoping that someone will buy my crazy hand dyed hanks. I am going to be traveling to London in Edinburgh, end of January and beginning of February so looking forward to getting some specialty yarn there. Any suggestions are appreciated.

“I could set it on 🔥 ! “😂😂😂. Love your sweater and the modifications. Thank you for sharing.

So happy I found your tubes! I have a totally non knitting question, on the ferry were the beds a true twin? I took a cruise from St Petersburg to Moscow and the beds were half a twin (very narrow)!

What a lovely kind person to support you by buying you a gimble.
