Hello from Rachel on Fair Isle

My friend Rachel lives on Fair Isle and I'm thrilled to welcome her here to The Woolly Thistle blog showing us a bit of her life and work. I hope you enjoy her video as much as I do. I especially love seeing her sheep and hearing their adorable names and seeing their eager faces.  Rachel will be a regular contributor to our blog so be sure to leave her a comment letting her know you enjoyed her video!

    Hi Rachel.
    I love how you introduced your sweet Shetland sheep. Your jumper is so cheerful and your bluebell sweater turned out great! Thank you for sharing a video about your life on Fair Isle.

    Hi Rachel,
    Thanks for a lovely visit with you on Fair Isle!
    Your sheep and chickens look very dear, and I imagine the wool is warm and cozy.
    The bluebells jumper you showed was beautiful – I’m going to look for the pattern, and I loved the colorful lambs sweater also.

    Looking forward to your next video!
