I know it’s probably a bit weird to watch a Halloween video in February, but thank you for watching anyway 😅🎃❤️

Have you watched HARMONIA?

Oh Andrea! Watching that warp being wound was magical. I love the colors. When my daughter was small she would love to watch me warp the loom and exclaim over the threads. I felt delight watching you and it brought back those memories.

Oh my gosh, this makes me so happy! I’m so glad I could bring back some cheerful memories 🥺❤️

Thank you again for taking us along on your adventures. This year has not been the best beginning of a year. I do find so much joy in what you share. You are so kind and so creative. Such an amazing woman.

That means a lot to me, thank you ❤️ I’m really sorry to hear that things have been rough, but I’m glad I can bring you a little bit of joy 🥺❤️

Thank you for bringing us along on your adventures! I love tagging along, and I also love all your crafts and school work. Love from Norway.

I'm really enjoying seeing all of your adventures! And I'm grateful to be able to watch them whatever time of year it is ❤

I love your vlogs. You are such a joyful human being. Thank you for sharing your journey.

I love all your outfits, esp halloween one. And those warp colors beautiful. Samhain looked crazy good!

It's so sweet that you got to show Percy your project with his fiber

I’m always so happy when I see you have posted a new video, Andrea!

I have never, ever wound that many warp ends, but I really love your bobbin holder for such a large project!

Yeowza! That is a big and very beautiful warp. No wonder you were tired. I look forward to seeing it on the loom. Oh dear, that will be a lot of work also. This is a delightful video and it is tons of fun to see you, your work and Scotland!

In 2003 my daughter and I went on a trip together into England and then up to Scotland to Edinburgh. We had a friend going to college there so we had a fun "tour guide". We went specifically to participate in the Samhain festival. We even made custom costumes at home and packed one suitcase specifically for the costumes. (I'm a costume designer). I could go on and on about just the Air Bnb and the bus ride to get to downtown (Royal mile), that was funny enough. But the event was totally different than what you attended. It was a parade down the Royal Mile from the Castle down to a place that you could cut across to the "modern" side of town. Anyway, Old man winter and his witches came down the street, it was awesome with the costumes and vibe. Then Old man winter challenges the "GreenMan" and they battle it out. The Green Man then "died" (goes into hibernation), and Old Man winter reigns. This was one of the best Samhain's I have ever experienced. Since my birthday is Beltane, Samhain is my half birthday so I love to celebrate it. Yes I'm pagan. Thanks for sharing this. Would love to chat with you more about that event with you.

Super outfit….. lovely video… thanks for bringing us along.

The shawl with the "holes" looks great!

Another fun report. I think having a piece you made using fiber from an animal you met is really fun. Percy is a handsome fella. What a good week.

I LOVE watching don't stop ,Saori weaver Australia🥰🤩🤗

Loved the video, but thought I’d really messed up when you started talking Halloween. Clearly you’ve been busy. Was glad to know I hadn’t pulled up an old video you made for October 2023. I have a sweet friend who raises alpacas in Colorado. She lost ten of her llamas and alpacas to a pit bull and German shepherd. She nursed so many of the herd, but sadly lost a couple more anyway. I have quite a bit of their yarn and I feel so blessed. She puts their names and faces on the hanks of yarn. They are such gentle creatures.

There is nothing as satisfying as finishing winding a warp and then just looking at it. All those threads aligning neatly, the colors becoming real, just wonderful. I love the color, the color changes and the gradual way you made those changes in your warp. . BTW, I've never seen someone make a cross in a warp the way you did. I think I'll have to give it a try. And a big YES to the pig playing bagpipes!

Your warp is BEAUTIFUL 😻

Great to see your escapades in Scotland and finally getting your warp done. Looking forward to seeing your project. 👍👍👍

Nice to see you enjoying my home turf ( I live in Galashiels) Birkhill is lovely, have done workshops there and picked the flowers fir dying

hehehe the alpacas are even cuter with their wet fur 😍

Beautiful yarns. Love the shawls. Thanks for taking us with you to the farm, Edinburgh, and Melrose. I wouldn't want to visit the cemetery after dark. ❤❤

Thank you so much for tagging along 🥹 I also don’t think I could handle the cemetery at night 😂

Really like your Halloween shawl and love Scotland! Thank so much.

This is such a great series. I actually visited the tartan mill after seeing it in your video. It was the wrong day for a tour but was great

Thank you enjoyable

Fiber, coffee, cookies, oh my!!!! Nothing much better than that. What a fabulous day you had. God bless.

I hope you get to take everything you made and bought while you are back home. I would consider shipping a couple of boxes home so you don't have to pay extra for baggage when you fly home.

The warp is gorgeous! I would be so intimidated to wind one so big. I like your idea is a sentimental wardrobe. Thanks for taking us along on your adventures.

It’s so much fun watching all your adventures. I would love to go along for the fiber fun. Thanks for taking the time to share all this with us.

my first warping took me hours but i didnt notice the time passing

I always wondered how the threads were measured out.

I was gobsmacked it took you so long to go to a chippy

I love Stardew!

Stardew let's play when? 😋😉

I’m new to your channel and I live in Edinburgh. Is At Birkhill house open the public? I would love to go and pick an alpaca and buy their yarn.

So if that was Halloween and was week 8 of 12, are you back in the US now?

Yes! I got back in late December and have already started my last semester at FIT. Unfortunately my timeline has gotten a bit messed up since I wasn’t able to edit much in Scotland, so all of those videos are coming out now 🥲❤️

Have you planned what you are going to do once you’re finished at FIT? Many thanks for the podcast. Where in Edinburgh did you buy your hat and where about was the Halloween festival, was it on the Royal Mile?

"nothing interesting happened, just more knitting". Uh since when is fiber arts not THE most interesting thing ever? :D
