I hope you're looking back on your weaving with pride. This is a singular experience you're sharing with us. Even though you may not like some of the early patterns, they are unique and valuable because they are your creations in a location most of your viewers won't get to experience. I like your color choices a lot. I continue to get excited about your story and your work. That loom looks like a lot of hard labor. This all feels successful. Thumbs up to you, Andrea.

I'm currently writing up a proposal to send through to potential PhD supervisors about ancient textiles, and just having this on in the background is spring me on. (Also the colours that you used throughout this are absolutely stunning together!)

Loved all the views of your weaving -- the "chunky twill" was my favorite of what you wove. You're doing so many interesting things all at once and your enthusiasm is infectious.

I love how the warp painting you did last time looks like sound waves moving through the fabric. I also think the lavender you chose to finish off that sample looks really good.

“I believe in myself. I can do it.” Yes indeed. Yes you should and yes you did. Andrea! Thank you for bringing us along with your education, experiences and adventures. It’s a wonderful time to be so alive.

That loom is insane! I picked up some fun tricks with the warp dyeing and how you heat sealed your edges. Love this channel! :)

Thank you so much for letting us experience this with you, but without any of the time pressure! I felt so seen when you showed hammering the pegs into the wrong side. That's just bad design that it's not set up to STOP you from doing that 🤣🤣

That heat bond is so smart. I never thought of that. I'm so used to having to sew to bind edges and such which makes sense for wearables but less so for gamps/samples.

I’m just embarking on weaving journey. I love watching your videos. If I were younger I would definitely work on a textiles degree. I didn’t realize how much I love it

As a Scottish (just north of Edinburgh) textile geek who never got a chance at uni, I am LOVING your videos. I feel like im getting to live through you. ❤❤🥰

I really like the last dye you did. It turned out so pretty! TFS

These are so beautiful. We did a weaving demo today in my biology and art fiber arts type class. I have been crocheting for a while and love it, but am so interested in learning more fiber art skills. This was so inspiring to see I just love your use of color and watching your art work up is fantastic.

I sure hope your videos continue to follow you through your life!! Watching as you go through your Textile & Fashion Education is an honor!! Especially because your videos are so well done!! I learn so much & it’s very exciting to see your process from concept to finished piece, with & without errors. Thank you!!!!! 😊😊🤗🤗🤗🙌🙌🙌💕!!!

I think you showed amazing restraint at that sample sale!

Love this series, thanks.

First time I see you. You are so Sweet and tell a good “story” without to many details. Will follow you from now on. From a patcgworker in Copenhagen, Denmark 🇩🇰

You are special, very talented and I admire you. Love your creativity and your work. Waiting for your next video. ❤😊

What a refreshing change to the usual KZfaq videos I watch, I love Scotland!

What an amazing place, you practically have it to yourself, which is peaceful but it would be amazing to see more people learning this wonderful craft. Love your work, the colors are gorgeous.

This is all so inspiring Andrea. I admit I liked the sample sale and Edinburgh Christmas Market the best. Those 3 sweaters you got were adorable!

I think you should enjoy an Innis and Gunn beer at The Witchery, down from the castle. Try some haggis with that. You are welcome.

I love your channel and love to watch your work. Thanks for sharing.

I love Edinburgh so much, such a multi-layered city! Watching you there makes me want to go back again for another visit 😊🏙️

Wow! I myself a textile student. I've never really got this much interested in weaving even in our lecture classes. Watching your vlogs just make me inspire to learn more about the subject I choose. Thank you for doing such vlogs

i'm loving watching your weaving videos while i knit! they're such a good vibe

You’re a very structured student. I learn a lot while you’re learning thanks to your videos!

Fascinating.

Great progress, you come up with so many great designs. Good luck with your project! 😊

Love the painting directly on the loom

Hi, i love watching you, everything you are doing! So happy, your face is full of joy...... thanks for sharing. Cynthia south Australia

I really enjoy your channel! You are a natural at this

Thanks again for bringing us along on your learning experience. I absolutely love your color palette and I think that dark sample you did at the end is going to be fab. your smile always just makes me smile back so thanks.

Fabulous!

Great video. The last two weaves you showed seemed so familiar. I dug out my baby blanket and voila, the similarity was amazing. A pastel twill weave. I’m sure you’re editing all this in NY, so this has to be flooding huge memories. So happy you posted a new video. Question; are you planning to work weaving for someone else or be self employed? If you haven’t decided that’s ok, just curious. You have to be happy weaving someone else’s designs if you work outside, but you don’t have to find work. You have more freedom in design if self employed, but you’ve gotta drum up business. I’m sure you’ve thought about this a bunch. Success!

Thanks Andrea. I’m enjoying the textile school parts and also your travel segments.

That is tiny yarn! Beautiful weaves and so interesting.

Thanks for the video. Edinburgh is such a beautiful city. Hope you got to go back in December to see the Christmas lights. Looking forward to your next video.

BTW, I love that ironing pad . . .do you have acquisition info on that?

That vest 😍

Thanks!

Hi Andrea, interested in how you painted your warp. If I have picked it up correctly you used acid exhaust dyes that are mixed with water and acid (could use vinegar or citric acid), then did your weaving, then set the dye by steaming. I have always died my warp completely first so this is an interesting alternative.

Have you tried "irn bru" while in Scotland? I tried it when I visited in 2017 and I have to confess it was a bit (like, a lot) too sweet for my tastes. I love seeing your samples, they are fascinating. As you say, the splatter twill is simple but very effective.

Really enjoying this series, thanks for bringing us along with you and the really steep learning curve you’ve been on. You’re reminded me that making mistakes is a fundamental part of learning and improving. I’ve really fallen for your pastel tartan vibe, and the viaduct design is so clever. Also, your chunky twill using the spatter yarn is very tweedy looking and fits well with the theme of the collection. BUT you’ve still got to learn to say EdinburUH not EdinburROW 😂

Really enjoy your videos. Am interested in how you set your dyed warp. Do you heat it after you have finished your weave? Sorry if you have already mentioned this.

First time viewer, reeled in by my favourite 2 subjects; fabrics & the land of my birth 🥰 It was all super-interesting. I was taken to Australia when I was a little younger than you, as the political/socio-economic climate at the time seemed quite dire to my parents (we didn't even have our own government), so I'm feeling extremely envious of you atm LOL, looks like you had a truly enjoyable time. I loved your use of Spean Bridge etc in the jacquard. However, like all North Americans, there is one thing you got wrong - you ALL pronounce Edinburgh wrong, it is not the English word, 'borough' with "o"s in it, it is not an English word at all, so it is not pronounced with 'burrow' at the end. It is an Auld Scots word, & like many other words in Scotland, they are descended from the Germanic & Nordic languages. The word ends in the 'ah' sound; "Ed-in-burrah". Although it doesn't really help foreign visitors when many locals call it 'Embra', does it? LOL. Looking forward to more of your adventures.

This was very interesting. To me it looked like you were painting on the plastic wrap? Do you use a sketch book for ideas? 👍💖

What was the Christmas pie filling? Looked yummy!

What does Christmas pie taste like?

Did you get a chance to visit pins and needles while in Edinburgh? It’s my favourite shore here in Edinburgh.

Wow

Are you in Galashiels ??

If you're planning to continue doing splattered dyes...you might head over the art supply store, and see if they have a biggish stencil brush. They're usually pretty stiff, and the bristles are very flat, with a nice muscular handle.

I am constantly awed at how accomplished you are at so many different disciplines 🧶🐟🧑‍🎨🧵🖥️( except maybe the order of putting on pants and shoes, but I am sure you will eventually master that too 😊). Your curiosity and experimenting spirit are the signs of true artistry. Thank you for sharing. I always enjoy your videos

I think you showed amazing restraint at that sample sale!
