    Hello! I know it's taken me ages to publish this video, so watching a Christmas celebration in July might be a little bit odd 😅but I hope you enjoy this video nonetheless. I'm on my way to Convergence in Wichita, Kansas today. Will I be seeing any of you there? 🥹💕 I'm hoping to make a video about this week's event and post that ASAP, and then I'll (finally) get to sharing my last semester at FIT. Thank you so much for your patience! I hope you're having a lovely summer ❤

    I feel incredibly honoured to have shared some special moments while you were here in Scotland. Didn't expected to get quite so emotional watching this last vlog though! Can't wait to meet you again on your side of the water x x

    I have loved following along with your Scottish adventures. I only learned recently the Unicorn is the national animal of Scotland. Will miss these videos but I'm sure you will be excited to get back home.

    • @thescottishyarnfestival

      Not only is the Unicorn the national animal of Scotland, it's often depicted tethered in chains.

    Congratulations on an amazing semester! I have such a heart for Scotland, and it was lovely seeing it through your eyes. I learned so much by joining you on your adventures via this channel, and your beautiful outlook on the world and everything in it inspires me. AND, you're such a talented artist/maker/designer! (PS: State-side folks, The Wooly Thistle based in the US is a Scottish Yarn Festival stockist and has flat rate shipping for orders under $99 to anywhere US for just $4.95! I have no affiliation with them other than being a supporter of Scottish yarn.) Looking forward to your next series!

    Your videos are so much fun! I missed seeing you. Congratulations on your many accomplishments. I gasped when you said you taught yourself brioche knitting on your train ride! Your cowl is beautiful. And as a rughooker, I appreciated your yarn dyeing! That was a brilliant use of your leftover dyes.
    Safe trip. I hope you keep uploading content! It’s so worthwhile!❤

    What a beautiful homage to the experiences and journey you have been on! I admit I might have gotten a little bit teary eyed seeing the photos of you returning home, everyone who has had a similar experience of being away for an extended time experiencing new things and learning, can understand the joy of returning to your loved ones. I can't wait to see your vlog from the convergence and your final semester in FIT. Give Frankie some treats on our behalf

    You are an inspiration Andrea, you are bubbly and energised in your videos. I enjoyed your video on weaving loom wastage and wove a hanging myself from my odds and ends and thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you for fresh inspiration.

    This was such a fun video! And you've inspired me to start spinning again, starting with one of my drop spindles. I haven't done any spinning for a couple of years!
    Looking forward to your Convergence video (feel my envy?) and your last semester at FIT.
