Shetland lace shawls are featured in some videos I came across on YouTube today, and rather than simply bookmark them for my own enjoyment, I thought I’d share them here with you. The first is this BBC video from 1964. The second video is a documentary commissioned by Shetland Museum and Arcives and produced and directed by Dave Hammond and Karen Emslie. The YouTube post is dated 2013.

I don’t know if you’ve been following Arne & Carlos on YouTube recently, but I’m loving their thrift shop visits. Arne has been buying partially-completed stitching projects and finishing them, with his own unique changes that update them and make them special.

Fruity Knitting Visits Prince Edward Island
If you haven’t found Fruity Knitting on YouTube, you might want to. I’ll feature most of my knitting favorites in this blog, eventually. Sometimes that will be in the form of lists of YouTube channels, or blogs. or books. Sometimes it will be a single entry that focuses on one special resource. I will of course also share some of my own knitting. Today I’m happy to steer you toward this mother-daughter team, who have recently featured some yarn producers and knitters in and around Prince Edward Island.
