Wow! It’s April 13th! I am know 50…older but not smarter ;). I throughly enjoyed baking up this cake though with my new pan from Nordic Ware. I’m prepping for my Scotland trip and I’ve cast on the Audrey in Unst vest by Gudrun Johnston. I’ll look forward to sharing that with you next episode but it’s not brown. So have a good wonder about that!

I hope you enjoy the small retrospective on the Yell. I also finished the Vintage Leather Tote which I’ve promptly given to my niece Maddie. Since finishing the Yell, I’ve worn her a few times to my sheer delight. I’m looking forward to taking her back to Scotland from whence the wool all came.

I wasn’t sure I was going to get this vlog out! But was able to put it to rest this morning at 12:30. Here’s hoping I caught all the editing 😉 In the episode I finish up my Elevenses with the help of my husband Rob and get my next leather project on the go.

Hello All, 

I think the title says it all~ I’ll be back very soon as I soak up every bit of my February vacation. My nephew is visiting and we’re getting up to all sorts of mischief. Haven’t touched my knitting! But he’s been eating all his favorite Auntie Sarah foods. 

I hope you enjoy this episode.

January did not unfold as I had expected which placed me in a bit of a creative bind. I made the ultimate winter commuting booboo. Yup, I assumed I’d be back to my home on the regularly scheduled days but alas, weather and family kept me from returning. And in an effort to travel lite I brought MINIMAL knitting and crafting. My husband saved the day and came down with a resupply of yarn and other projects. So, all that to say this episode is kinda bare bones and a little later than I anticipated. Here’s hoping it all works out for next weekend!

In this episode I finish all the steeks for my Yell and share a new to me book Wilderness Knits by Linka Neumann. I’ve been eyeing this one for a long time and I’m so pleased to have it in the collection.

Talk about coming down to the wire! I’ve got three different sourdough projects on the go and wow, that’s put a vast amount of pressure on my executive function skills ;). We’ll see where that goes in 2026. I repurposed the studio vlog footage for the intro as I really love the Auld Lang Syne song…forgive me for cutting a few corners. I haven’t really been filming as the house is in a bit of a state due in part to our water heater giving up the ghost right before Christmas. But Rob is on it and I’m hopeful for hot water in January. 

In this episode I’m going to share the book Nordic Sailors’ and Fisherman’s Sweaters  by Lotte Rahbek and Gitte Verner Jensen and up date you on my Yell steek. 

Happy New Year and see you very soon in 2026!

The past few weeks have been deliciously cold and snowy. We are iced in for the winter but not before I was able to grab some excellent footage of four otters. I was so thrilled to have these four visiting over four days. I hope they take up residence here.

In this episode, I get reacquainted with a book in my library, detail some projects in process and highlight the progress on knitting.
