It's so refreshing and inspiring to see someone whose crafting isn't 90% swearing followed by hating the end result. Like. I am aware that often being cheerful and enthusiastic (or at least showing it) is a choice, and not always an easy one, so it's great to have your example.
I'm a terrible actor and worse liar so if I look like I'm having tons of fun, I promise it's genuine. That said, I don't like to be too hard on my outcomes. Even if it's not as I expected or hoped for, I don't want anyone who is thinking of trying a new craft for the first time, who maybe came to one of my videos to learn, to get discouraged. When anyone sees someone with more experience trashing a project that a beginner would be thrilled to achieve, that's not going to encourage anyone. It's even worse when you consider that many of us are fighting the urge to be perfect on the first try (unrealistic for any skilled craft). I think we can all find something good in our work even if it's just lessons learned for the next crafty attempts.
@@JillianEve I internalised in my teens that nothing I ever did was good enough, that being satisfied with anything was arrogance and/or indicated that you weren't trying hard enough, so I ended up only being able to see the flaws in my work and feeling like if I didn't exhaust myself on striving for perfection I might as well not have bothered at all. I'm unlearning that now, but it's not easy.
@@RandomAFP I came from a very similar place to what you are describing. It's not easy to undo those messages. I worked on my perfectionism by realizing that having pride in my work isn't conceit or arrogance. It's an act of self-respect and healthy confidence to take pride in my work!🫂
@@JillianEveExactly! It got easier when I noticed that the people who were loudest with those sorts of ideas were the ones who didn't do anything much, and then realised it was because they couldn't! First step on getting good at anything is sucking at it, and that's not bad! It's only by messing up that you really learn anything.
My goodness, who are you watching that they are having such a bad time? Crafting is supposed to be fun, even when you don't like the end result. It's the process. I just finished a shawl that I didn't like, so I sewed it together and made a pillow.
omg seeing those little potholders brings me back to my childhood... my whole family went through a phase where we just made a TON of those for like 6 months, and almost 20 years later we're still using them.
I love June, the number of rainbow projects just skyrockets! The yarn works so well for a multi-gradient (double rainbow what does it meaaaaaan) and it looks fantastic as a triangle shawl. I thought it was funny that you were weaving in the rain for a bit because obviously that's how you get the most authentic rainbows!
well that was a labour of love, and it turned out lovely and your little rainbow skein adventure at the end was just delightful. Appreciate all the work you put into your videos
I have an older video on my channel that is more of a tutorial. It has instructions to get the strand started on the top. Check it out! th-cam.com/video/k1Zi5dD8Fd8/w-d-xo.html
This is the first of your videos I've seen and I have to say you are absolutely adorable. Your encounter with the bee was sweet. You are a beautiful flower.
At around 13 minutes the Weaver almost looks like a painting of a body of water with a red sky. So beautiful! I have Nederland encountered your change before but I'm falling in love with your personality and authentic sense of joy. I am inspired to start weaving aswell, Ialready crochet but this seems like another amazing craft hobby. Thank you so much for being yourself and sharing your passions!
It is gorgeous! I admire your patience; I have taken several runs at continuous strand weaving, and made some lovely things, but I was not in love with the process and have always sold the triangle and gone back to my floor loom. To each their own! You do lovely work, and in honor of Pride month, Happy Pride!
Thank you so much! I'm also in love with my floor loom, but I like to mix it up too. I'm glad if you didn't love your tri-loom it could go to someone who hopefully will enjoy it! Happy weaving! 🌈💜😊
That shawl is absolutely stunning! Definitely worth all the effort that went into it. 😍 Also, those pot holders are SO cute! I love your plants, and the idea of growing them to use them in projects. I just love your content so much, Evie.
i was getting carnival flashbacks when you started waving it around. no wonder you're attracting all of Nature to your position. what a beautiful way to celebrate Pride month. luv it!
You remind me of my aunt Athena. And it's really comforting since I haven't seen her in like...8 years. This is also a really fun project, and I love it a lot!
This is such a happy and positive energy video and i genuinely felt so relaxed watching this, it wasnt overdramatic like some people are these days, it was the perfect mix of calm and excitement, such a lovely and rare personality to see these days
I only recently started spinning my own yarn and it's soo cool to see what you can do with it!!! It was so worth it spending all my pocket money on the Spinning wheel!! (im a teenager and aspire to be like you when I grow up)
your videos introduced me to spinning as someone who already crochets and i love your work! its so inspiring and informative and your yarns are always beautiful!! ♡
Absolutely gorgeous! ❤ I had a pin loom just like as a kid and made so many potholders. I feel the strongest urge to get one and do some inner child healing.
You had me at the no ends to weave in 😂 I’m sold! Edit: just finished the video and the finished product is absolutely breathtaking! I cannot believe it all came from one long strand of yarn even after watching it happen. Incredible 😱
This turned up on my recommended randomly and I usually wouldn't have clicked just because I'm not into weaving, but I'm so glad I did. Your personality is infectiously positive in the best way, and you made a BEAUTIFUL shawl! Thanks for the uplifting video.
That shawl was so pretty!! I want to learn how to make one so bad now (as though your channel hasnt been making me want to learn spinning and weaving for months now)
A lovely, fascinating and wonderful way to use the gradient; both the process and the result. The finishing process in particular made me smile. I had been wondering how it would be done, and watching each loop being hooked over the one next to it was very satisfying in a “d’oh, of course” kind of way (not being a weaver myself, it was obvious as soon as I saw it). Thank you for another truly interesting and inspirational video.
Setting the project down and taking a step back to just...look IS the most important (and best) step in any creative hobby. For best results, this step should be completed at least once every half hour.
I love how this turned out! I used some semi-rainbow yarn I spun as color B in a Stephen West Flying Foxtail wrap--I love seeing what rainbow can do in a triangle, too!
This was one of the most adhd videos I’ve seen in a hot minute, it’s so charming to see other people like me. This is so well edited and I’d like to commend you on the amount and time it must have taken to not only make the gorgeous shawl but also edit all the footage! Different camera angles, Timelapse’s. This was such a cool video to watch.
You have such a warmth about you ~ ❤ I absolutely did not intend to watch this whole video and only clicked it in a whim, but then I couldn’t look away. What a lovely project. It’s so cool that you could adjust the yarn yourself and just take some of the blue out to make room for the purple. The end result is gorgeous and I love your positivity.
Mark made me this one. I'm not sure where to find one in the UK, but I know someone in Oklahoma, USA makes them and have listings on Ebay. It's so good to see you Sadie! Happy spinning! 💜🧶
its so impressive how you can reform the colors after having ti splice one baseed off your intention and prefernce of the piece- lovely and inspiring !!
It's gorgeous! I have a cotton rainbow color gamp blanket i wove a few years ago. I didn't spin the yarn, but it's my favorite thing i ever wove and this shawl reminds me of it. I'd love it even more if i had spun the yarn.
I love the vibes of this video so much!! The shawl turned out so beautifully and was the perfect background noise for crocheting some cute summer clothes!
Hi! Thank you for supporting us 🏳️🌈. I really enjoy your channel. I've been interested in fiber arts as well as other older style crafts like blacksmithing since I was an early teen and read the wonderful Circle of Magic series by Tamora Pierce. Those books continue to ignite in me a passion for all things fiber. And thank you for so happily and expertly keeping the crafts alive. Oh, and the shawl was beautiful.
That’s a beautiful shawl, and I love your pot holders! I had one of those looms when I was younger and recently started looking them up because I remember it being so fun.
I am very happy you popped up in my news feed. I love your energy. You actually made my day and made it better. Thank you so much. I am not a weaver or knitter. I crochet. I will definitely check out more videos and I have passed this one on already. Thank you again for being a shining star. Peace Love n Blessings. With Loads Love Angel
I've loved seeing your videos become more and more narrative, playful, comfortable, confident over time! This video feels like a sip of lemonade on a hot day :~) and I love your bangs!
Its just so georgous, thank you for your sacrifice of wearing a woolen shawl in summer😊 and I really laughed at you beimg divebombed because you are the prettiest flower.
I enjoyed watching you do a gradient of a gradient of a gradient and it turned out so beautifully! 😍 It was also such a big joy to see you happy and joyful and having fun with your project! Maybe we can see some more adventures of the rainbow yarn or their brothers and sisters? 🤭 Could even be your mascot for your channel 😄
You ARE the prettiest flower! I have a shawl from Ireland that my MIL gave me. It seems to have the same looseness that yours does, so now I have a better appreciation of how it may have been made. Thanks for sharing with us ❤
mumbling to myself that i DO NOT need to pick up weaving just because a gorgeous shawl caught my magpie brain
Best comment I’ve ever seen😂😂. The struggle is real my friend❤
Good luck lol that was me a. few months ago and then i bought a steal of a loom for 40bucks and i'm like WELP GOTTA ACTUALLY LEARN TO WEAVE NOW!
Weaving a rainbow in the rain is just spot on!
🌦️🌈🥰
You can't have a rainbow without rain.
You give off fun aunt vibes. Like the one aunt that actually knows what you like and makes great effort to make you feel special. It’s so comforting
Real 😭 I was like smiling through the whole thing bc she seems so nice and kind

Did not expect the yassified yarn to give me affirmation at the end but I'm into it.
Omg, obsessed with little Rainbow Skein's day in the life at the end!
i can't wait for the Netflix series.
This entire video is chaos and I love it so much. It's also awesome to see a rainbow weaving project for pride. Love it so much
Glad you liked it! 💜🌈
omg seeing those little potholders brings me back to my childhood... my whole family went through a phase where we just made a TON of those for like 6 months, and almost 20 years later we're still using them.
It turned out so gorgeous! And I absolutely love your fringe! Your hair looks so lovely! The bumble bee seal of approval was the icing on the cake 😂
Thank you! 🐝
I love you even more ❤thank you for supporting the 🏳️🌈 community. Your yarn and weaving are stunning 🎉

This video is perfect: rainbows, gradients, pin looms, and BUNNY!
It has the bumble bee seal of approval.
well that was a labour of love, and it turned out lovely and your little rainbow skein adventure at the end was just delightful. Appreciate all the work you put into your videos
That shawl is luminous.
Happy pride month everyone, whether you are a member of the LGBTIAQ+ community or an ally.
I see that whole rainbow as a dream, as a woven tapresty of everything we feel.
And your triangle loom!! I bought one a few years ago but don’t know how to use it, thank you for showing us!!
I have an older video on my channel that is more of a tutorial. It has instructions to get the strand started on the top. Check it out! th-cam.com/video/k1Zi5dD8Fd8/w-d-xo.html
Great way to use your hand-spun. I watched someone at the Washington Fair make one of these triangle shawls but did not see her tie it off. I love it!
This is the first of your videos I've seen and I have to say you are absolutely adorable. Your encounter with the bee was sweet. You are a beautiful flower.
Makes me think of the Amyrlin Seat from the Wheel of Time books with her rainbow shawl! Nice work!
the looser
tension is so satisfying i can only imagine how good it feels to hold/wear!!
I never new a rainbow of colors could actually go so well well together like this, it’s so pretty

@@JillianEve It's a pleasure; thank you too, for sharing your art with us
I love the vibe of this video. You have the exact same charming and captivating way of explaining things like Lofty Pursuits!
i was getting carnival flashbacks when you started waving it around. no wonder you're attracting all of Nature to your position. what a beautiful way to celebrate Pride month. luv it!
Oh okay, that's the most joyful shawl I've ever seen! Stunning!
Pretty Gradient shawl! JillianEve tested, Bumblebee approved!
This whole video is a delight, and your shawl is beautiful. You are just wonderful company, thank you x
So beautiful! I want to sit down with that shawl and look and look and look at all the color changes and combinations.
❤❤❤
You remind me of my aunt Athena. And it's really comforting since I haven't seen her in like...8 years. This is also a really fun project, and I love it a lot!

Evies way of explaining her projects is so soothing and wholesome. I love watching it.
It really turned out well! Thanks for your sacrifices to bring this lovely shawl to us!
That BOUJIE as heck rainbow eucalyptus swift has me high key jealous.
I've wondered how those triangle looms work! The gradient is beautiful! I'm impressed and happy it worked out so well.
Seeing your joy at the end is so contagious! Keep making wonderful things and videos so we can live through you!
This is amazing!!!! Super beautiful gradient of gradients and I love your potholders too.
That yarn is beautiful. I have never seen a pin loom that big. It is fabulous! Thank you for sharing
That turned out so beautiful!! I love the drape it has, too!
I only recently started spinning my own yarn and it's soo cool to see what you can do with it!!! It was so worth it spending all my pocket money on the Spinning wheel!! (im a teenager and aspire to be like you when I grow up)
Love this idea, and how effective the gradient is!!! Yahh you! It's very pretty.
your videos introduced me to spinning as someone who already crochets and i love your work! its so inspiring and informative and your yarns are always beautiful!! ♡
Absolutely gorgeous! ❤ I had a pin loom just like as a kid and made so many potholders. I feel the strongest urge to get one and do some inner child healing.
I did! Acorns & Twigs 10" pro loom.
I have never seen anything like that loom. Woozers!!!! It is so cool! Thank you for showing the process. The shawl is beautiful and so are you! ❤
This was an absolute JOY to watch, you may have just piqued my interest in weaving... yet another textile art to consume me forever ❤
Okay, the shawl is just beautiful, and the ending was adorable. Happy creating 💚🧶💚
You had me at the no ends to weave in 😂 I’m sold!
Edit: just finished the video and the finished product is absolutely breathtaking! I cannot believe it all came from one long strand of yarn even after watching it happen. Incredible 😱

That shawl was so pretty!! I want to learn how to make one so bad now (as though your channel hasnt been making me want to learn spinning and weaving for months now)

I'm always excited to see people using pin looms, especially in videos
Absolutely stunning, where do I get one of those looms or do I have to make one xx
Mark made me this one. I'm not sure where to find one in the UK, but I know someone in Oklahoma, USA makes them and have listings on Ebay. It's so good to see you Sadie! Happy spinning! 💜🧶

That little skein outro was the cutest 🤣 great shawl!
the dramatic shots and the dramatic music at the end, perfection!
Your weaver mathin' skills with the tension is Doctorate level babe!!
Jillian your videos give me so much happiness. Thanks so much for sharing your positivity and lovely work!
Sooo beautiful 💚
and great info...thank's for sharing !!!

Oh cool! Beautifully done !
Thank you so much 😀
This is gorgeous, and I had so much fun watching! If you ever do another one, start with purple, so you get more of it!
Oh, wow, the ending is so adorable! It slayed me, and this is my ghost writing about how wonderful little rainbow skein's adventures were. 💜
I love the vibes of this video so much!! The shawl turned out so beautifully and was the perfect background noise for crocheting some cute summer clothes!
Looking forward to seeing the fully blocked and shocked shawl! Happy Pride!!

Wow! that yarn is just so beautiful and the finished shawl is amazing. Well done you.
That’s a beautiful shawl, and I love your pot holders! I had one of those looms when I was younger and recently started looking them up because I remember it being so fun.

1) LOOOVE the shawl.
2) You are ADORABLE!
3) LOVE your energy!
It’s a beautiful shawl. I loved the colors.
Beautifully woven! I love the rainbow gradient! I also like that it's a little open and airy. Your triloom is also SO COOL! I want to make one. 💜
I love the hair pick used to bet the weft into place. The gradient is gorgeous.
I love this project! very inspirational.
Oh my..... Evie, it's more than gorgeous ❤
Thank you so much!!! 😊🐝💜🌈
You are adorable! Despite my not being a weaver, your presentation was so entertaining and authentic I watched the entire video ❤
The end result is so gorgeous!! What a beautiful rainbow shawl!

i just love the look of the looped ends, gorgeous
Very nice... love the gradient and thank you for supporting Pride.. I still think I want to weave on the loom something with rainbow someday..
You ARE the prettiest flower!
I have a shawl from Ireland that my MIL gave me. It seems to have the same looseness that yours does, so now I have a better appreciation of how it may have been made. Thanks for sharing with us ❤
Gorgeous shawl! And your joy is infectious! Now I want to do something with the rainbow skein in my stash 😊
Absolutely gorgeous! 💖
That was the PERFECT thing to do with that beautiful yarn!!❤
