Good Morning Kate, my name is Jorjan Werry. I am from Washington state, USA. I have been wanting to visit the Shetland islands since forever. I am now even more determined to visit from following your blog. My question is do you know of anyone that gives a great tour of Shetland for knitters? Thank you in advance for any and all help.

Hi Jorjan – try http://www.shetlandwooladventures.com
Kate and tOm! Very best wishes for a terrific 2017! I so enjoy receiving all your textural offerings. You have a knack for writing as well as designing, Kate. Must tell you I am carefully recording each of Tom’s whiskey referrals for my own tasting in 2017! Many thanks for your grand efforts! They are very much appreciated!
Merry Christmas and to a Happy New Year and congratulations on a wonderful year well done. I’ve been following and reading and knitting with you for years. So much change and inspiration, you are truly a gift to the world. I’ve enjoyed all you have to offer and these photographs are proof of the wonderful offerings you give to us. Tom’s photography is just gorgeous, Bruce’s enthusiasm is infectious and the little I’ve seen of Jesus lately, well he’s a cat and all cats deserve to be admired. Thank you for sharing a year of your life in photos.

Thank you for a wonderful year of knitting, amazing photos and opportunities to learn more about knitting, about Scotland and recently about whiskey :) Wishing a very happy Christmas and all the best for 2017.
Thank you for the Book of Haps especially. I bought one in May to give as a gift, could not part with it, and yet my hastily (recently) ordered copy arrived in America on Dec 23rd, right in time for Christmas. Perfect! Merry Christmas.

On a photo subject, can I ask which camera you use? I’m researching at the moment as an aspiring serious beginner.

Lovely, lovely photos :)
I’m going to suggest a new award for you, Tom and Bruce. One that covers generosity ( in sharing your lives), enthusiasm ( for wool, people and surroundings) and outstanding creativity. I raise a glass and give you a toast to greater blessings for 2017.
Thank you to you and Tom for such an inspiring blog, and year — armchair traveling and knitting and just wonderful stuff!
An outstanding year and all the best for 2017. Merry Christmas and many, many thanks for your lovely knitting, writing and photography.
A good year for all of us, thanks to your hard work and talent. A very Happy Christmas to you, Tom and Bruce.
Thank you for 2016.. This was the year that I discover Kate Davies (and Tom and his photography). Two of my favourite books are Book of Haps and Shetland Oo – both treasured.
Here’s to a wonderful 2017 for you all.

Thanks for the reminders of 2016, the year in which I first heard about you on Woman’s Hour, Radio 4, in July. I have just listened again to that interview – the listener chain was a great radio concept, introducing us to so many interesting people. Thanks for taking part in it – I’m currently knee-deep in your Inspired by Islay club, and I have to say, I’m so happy I heard Woman’s Hour that day! Best wishes for 2017.
Thank you for everything you do, you bring so much enjoyment and knowledge into my life. May you all have a very happy Christmas and another wonderful year in 2017.
Congratulations on an inspiring great year, happy
Christmas and all the best for 2017
