Would love to sit and knit with you there
-
🥰

My cousin lived on the Northumberland coast at Bamburgh and could see Lindisfarne from his sitting room window. We spent many wonderful holidays there when my childeen were young. It's a truly beautiful place.
-
Love watching your knitting technique
-
Love the music! Where can I get a copy?
-
Think if you had a tee shirt or a mug that said, “I knit on Lindisfarne”. My husband knit the Lindisfarne shawl by Lucy Hague so of course we had to look up the history of the island including the Viking invasion in 793 A.D. I mirror imaged your knitting as I sat here watching your video. It was very enjoyable. When knitters travel we absolutely must collect memories of the places we’ve knit. Take the opportunity whenever you can.
-
So glad you made it up Lindisfarne! My grandmother was born there and I grew up just a few miles down the coast. I’m biased, but I think it’s one of the most beautiful places in the world.
I’m not sure if you saw the Lindisfarne Gospels, but there are some beautiful colorwork and cabled patterns inspired by the illuminated texts. I made the Lindisfarne shawl by Lucy Hague for my Gran – super tricky but a beautiful pattern.
Oh, and there’s a yarn company just inland from Lindisfarne called “Whistlebare” – so these sheep might be producing wool used in Northumbrian yarn! -
Wow Mark! Beautiful photography and really a lovely introduction to a unique place. The knitting museum was fascinating – it's odd that they seem to think of the knitting as being felted when it clearly was not. But I've had people ask me how I can crochet without a hook. Apparently there are loads of people who have no idea how their knitwear was made. 😀 No complaints – this was a wonderful video.
-
Lovely video of the island. The knitting and music was hypnotic and welcome in this unsettled time.
-
If you are travelling through London later in your trip, you could go and see The Lindisfarne Gospels at the British Library.
-
Thank you, Mark for sharing your travels and beautiful part of England Sacred Island. Amazing views and knitting history.
-
Glad you’re having an amazing time. I love seeing people be so excited by our history xx
-
Another amazing video,thank you Mark for showing us the magic of Lindisfarne!❤
-
Such lovely content – in every way! Thanks so much for sharing!
-
Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. Please keep showing us the wonderful places you visit.
-
Lovely video—thank you for bringing us along! Also, love, love, love the colors of your sweater.
-
Loved the video,loved the church review.
-
That part of the world is so beautiful and so meaningful to those of us with ties to the region. I am glad you got to knit in such a glorious place. Today I am making wristers and ski masks to be delivered to a homeless shelter once it gets cold.
-
There's a tree in that churchyard in the village, by the priory, planted in memory of my grandfather. I know this place so well, but it has changed so much in my lifetime ( I'm in my 65). When my dad was a child during WWII, he used to deliver daily newspapers to the man who lived in the castle. I love this place.
My Scottish family (Ballantyne) was famous for knitting and weaving. I was the last generation to be employed, working in the textile museum, set up by my grandfather.Best place to sit for me would be the Castle Headrocks, near Sandholm Bay, watching the seals.
-
From USA – and having traveled to different countries – England included , that was what was brought to me the most, the history of those countries and how new we are ………………. Thank you for a wonderful video !!!🥳
-
I love both the musical scenery and you talking and of course the knitting. I always knit along. So this is a very pleasurable video to me. And understand totally what you mean by the breath of history outside the US. We here tend to consider the settling of America and the revolutionary war as so long ago but it is drop in the bucket compared to a place like Lindisfarne. I always wonder what the locals think as they attend their, to us, ancient church. To us it is special but I guess to them it is just a church the way we view a church here, somewhat every day? 😊
-
Glad that you are having such a wonderful time. I respect that you want to correct mistakes but I think they add to the project.
-
Oh Mark!!! Thank you for sharing this! And you hit the nail on the head when you mentioned the history! How beautiful was this!
-
Lovely place to knit, lovely day. This is my idea of a good time ❤
Btw, there are no mistakes, only enhancements 😊 -
You have great tension with your knitting. I'm still trying your technique of holding the colours in two colour knitting…haven't quite got it. One thread always gets slack. Wonderful idea of sitting in a serene place to knit. I've never thought of doing that but I enjoy taking my dog for hikes and there's always a log or bench where I could stop and blend in with the forest environment.
-
Just found your channel, touring London yarn shops, so I’m starting at the beginning of your trip. I am delighted to find your music content included! I’ve been knitting along with you on Lindisfarne, and enjoyed the perfect knitting music you selected. I’m going to Shetland in the fall, so I’m excited to get to see it thru your eyes and camera lens. You do an amazing job balancing your phone on your chest while playing a very musically vigorous piano piece! harpingJanet
-
I kept watching your hands hoping to see when you switched colors
-
Thank you for hanging out with us. Very comforting voice and way of talking about this and that
-
What a beautiful place to sit and knit. Watching you knit your colour work sweater is both fascinating and inspiring. I've never felt brave enough to try it.
-
Oh my goodness I live about 5 miles from here! Simone nearly got washed away this week crossing the island, they were rescued fine thank goodness! It’s the most beautiful place
-
Lovely episode😊
-
Right now I am crocheing along. I love your calming videos, your talking is also meaningful, at least to me. Thank you.
-
Hi Mark! 😊 I just found your content and wanted to say thank you!! I love what you’re making on here and am really enjoying this series and learning along with you both! Thanks again for sharing – it was wonderful to sit and knit in peace with you today! 🥰
-
My families Ashe are scattered on the island so it was very meaningful for me to see this. Thank you
-
I think you should keep the mistakes as they are. As a reminder of Holy Island.
-
Ich liebe deine Videos, sie entspannen mich so. Danke, dass du dich zeigst ❤
-
Thanks for hopping on today's video! Outside the priory museum, the guide announced something about having the oldest example of English knitting – which sounded fishy to me! While it was very cool to see some preserved pieces of knitted and woven fabric from the island, I wanted to share a nice overview of the historic knitted pieces that exist around the world:

Beautiful music loved the video x
-
I’m wondering if it’s nalbinding instead of knitted?
-
Wd love to hear u sing
-
So exciting to see. Love the countryside and sea views. Can I ask who is taking care of Scout while you are away?
-
I absolutely love your " coo" needle tippers. I just got home from Scotland. I hope you had a wonderful time.
-
Everything resonates with me! Along with a love of knitting, I studied music (cello & voice) and British history in college, so yeah…lots of love for your content❤
-
Wow, Mark!! Truly impressive- huge shout out to your acquired droning skills!!! 🎉I enjoyed the whole video and appreciate you taking all the time you do to make these videos. Loved the scenery, the history, the music…. 😊
-
Absolute bliss. Thank you! I’ve really enjoyed watching the videos from your trip and, wouldn’t you know, this morning I got an email from Indi Untangled announcing their trip to Dublin and the Aran Islands next June. I smashed that “Book Now” button so hard my finger hurts! I blame you. 😂💖
-
What a wonderful video. Beautiful scenery, lovely voiceover, inspiring music. You have a gift for sharing. Thank you!
-
Personally I find your voice and your knitting mesmerizing and very calming
-
Outstanding video. Can’t even articulate how much I enjoyed seeing this island, hearing the history and the wonderful, peaceful clips of you knitting. And the church!! 😮amazing
