What is the music? The knitting is marvellous, one has come to expect this kind of excellence from the Fair isle tradition. I only hope that I will one day when I am old and have time on my hands to learn it.

The music is Dario Marianelli, soundtrack from Pride & Prejudice (2005).

Beautiful outcome, but what about getting at the row-by-row work?

[unionpearl]

I'm considering digitizing the chart and putting that on my blog. Is that what you mean?

[ladydrakos62]

This is wonderful, I'm working on learning this style of knitting, do you by chance offer this pattern for sale?

Beautiful

[unionpearl]

It's not really a pattern. I'm considering digitizing the chart and putting that on my blog. Would that help?

i screamed at the steek cutting but i'm ok now. beautiful work!

This is brilliant! I've watched it again and again. I've looked through your blog, but I wasn't able to find any chart. Have you decided to digitize it? I really want to attempt this pattern with a friend's family name, but I have no idea where to start. What size needles did you use? How did you know how to map out the uncial font so beautifully?

This has to be one of the best, most beautiful videos on knitting that I have seen. Stunning, thank you for posting it.

Great job, BEAUTIFUL work of art, and so very inspirational. :) Thanks for sharing, it's wonderful watching your hands work the yarn like a human loom! I HAVE to learn how to do it, and after watching you I'm ready to try!

Gorgeous! Oh, it always makes me catch my breath when someone cuts a steek. Very neat piece!

I've been knitting since I was four, and I'll not say how old I am now, but I still don't have enough courage to cut something I've knit.

However, I keep seeing all these great lusekofte (sp) patterns, so one day, I'm sure I'll tackle it.
