    I bought my Irish sweater from her shop way back in 1987, it still looks and feels brand new. Unfortunately, I had to give it to my wife because it didn't expand the same way I did over the last 30 years. Looks beautiful on her though.

    when we came back to Ireland, my husband and I contacted Frances and sent her our measurements for our own Aran sweaters. It is the best piece of clothing either of us own and consider ourselves so fortunate to have met her and have our sweaters hand knitted - not hand made. She is a great lady

    My wife and I were there about 10 years ago and she bought a very nice sweater from this lady. She still wears it today

    Have been to your shop on a few occasions since I have been to Inis Mor 11 times since 2000. A beautiful little place and very friendly people. I am friends with Dara Molloy and his children. Blessings from Wisconsin USA.

    I love watching this. Live in Brisbane Australia and bought two Aran knits. Made sure they were authentic when I bought them we only have about three westerly windy days ie very cold so do not get to wear them very often. But I love them.

    Omg I want to live there!!! Somebody please come take me away from Where I live. The universe played a cruel, cruel trick on me. I was born and raised in Florida and I absolutely HATE THE SUN!!!!! HATE IT!!!! All I do is sit around and long for the cold and the rain every day. It’s 103 degrees right now and I can’t breathe!!! Oh Ireland. You fill up my dreams…😢😭
