Got the digital book 2 days ago and love it, I’m definitely thinking about buying the printed version too. Really lovely video, from a country I want to visit so hard, people there are so lovely and you confirmed this to me :) so raining weather can’t be discouraging ☔️☔️☔️🤗🤗🤗

Nice video, really enjoyed it. Only one thing: zwartbles is not pronounced rhyming marbles, but it is Zwart rhyming with cart and Bles, rhyming with less. Zwart means black, the colour of the sheep, and the Bles is the blaze on the head.

That gives me some ideas for my Christmas and Birthday list. We call wood lice - cheeselogs in Reading.

Great stuff ladies, I am sold, will definitely get the book for my sock-knitting aunt! I'm currently knitting a cozy cardigan in Manx Loaghtan (from Isle of Man) for the cold winter in Devon. Sonja, your recent scarf design is divine!

Thank you!! I joined the Bluestocking Club back in May prior the the book’s publication. I fell in love with the Exmoor yarn at that time. I have been knitting the socks in order. I am presently knitting Mercy with Aggy and Whortleberry. I also did the Hap for Harriet and it was a fun fast knit 🧶

Great introduction to Kate Davies book and all the patterns and yarn. Loved seeing the sample knits up close! I’m off to the Wooly Thistle website to order some of each. Thank you.
