Well, I finally did it. I’ve long been contemplating a name change as my vlog has shifted and changed over the past few years. I explain the name and its origins which has a call back to my beloved Orkney but theres also some Tolkien thrown in there too. No surprise! I also chat about my elevenses progress as well as Rhinebeck plans. There’s a little bit of knitting…but more to come in the studio vlog forthcoming. I hope this finds you well and in good spirits.

I’m embracing the cool fall weather and getting inspired by my wool spinning stash. The Haunui wool I received as a gift is an absolute delight and there’s a few new skeins of spindrift too. 😉
I hope this finds you well and in good spirits.

Well, I’m back to school and the summer is officially over for me. Of course, it feels good tome back to routine and reconnect with work friends but I had more to do! We’ll see if I can invigorate myself on the weekends to get organized and get an indigo pot done before it turns cold.
I hope this finds you well and in good spirits.

Phew! I’ve been busy hosting family and not always finding the time to film or edit. I have been knitting but this episode features an eco printing stint I did and am quite happy with the outcomes. More botanical printing to come!

As some of you may know my dear friend Sara Bauer passed away in June. She created the Yarns at Yin Hoo podcast and along with Emily of Fibretown we’ve been traveling a path together for 10 years now. She’s been a huge part of not only my daily life but also my creative journey and felt necessary to include a celebration of her work and spirit here on the vlog. In this episode I do my best to honor her with a short montage of her work and our time together set against the poignant song The Lost Words Blessing created as a collaboration between several musicians.
The Lost Words Blessing by Spell Songs, by kind permission of Folk by the Oak Festival and Spell Songs, the musical companion to The Lost Words by Robert Macfarlane and Jackie Morris, featuring Karine Polwart, Julie Fowlis, Seckou Keita, Kris Drever, Rachel Newton, Beth Porter, Kerry Andrew and Jim Molyneux.
I am so grateful to have been given permission to use this song in my video.
In this episode I also touch on some sewing and knitting. I appreciate you sharing in this celebration with me. Sara contributed so much to the textile community and I’m thankful to share a moment of honor with you all.
No surprises in this episode. I’m leaning in to all the Icelandic fleece in this one. I hope this finds you well and in good spirits!
Sarah

One of the most exciting things I brought back from my trip abroad was learning a new technique. I’m not sure how long this technique has been around but it’s revolutionary to me and I’ve been knitting a long time. Ladder back Jacquard…it will change your knitting skills. It really shifted the way I was feeling about my Pagan Sky…we’re going to chat about that in this episode.
Also, a wool patchwork project, thank you very much Kate from the Last Homely House ❤️

Wow! It’s been an editing marathon! I’m still knitting away on all the old projects 😉 I’ve completed the color work portion of the sleeve on the Pagan Sky and I’ve put some rounds on my Agnes sweater.
On this episode I’m working with some new watercolor paints from Deep Deep Light. I also put some time in to my crochet blanket. But the big news is I finally finished my Lost Words project started so many years ago.
