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.

It’s good to be back home on the lake in the woods. I cherish the memories from my recent trip abroad to Switzerland and Italy. We all had such great laughs and experienced some profound places and art. I’m grateful I got to do it with my mum. But I’m so thankful to be home.

I’m feeling a little untethered these days. I think it is a combination of work, the weather and the upcoming international trip I have planned. But ho hum…I’m riding the wave and hoping the vlog can provide a thread of continuity. You’ll probably notice that this episode is a little different as I didn’t edit an intro. I was wondering if this would make the process easier for me and lift a barrier to get started. I’m still playing with format so we’ll see where we land.

I was super optimistic thinking I could host my family for four days and get projects done 🙂 All the same, I finished the Bilbo Vest and I’m on to the next iteration of it. Thank you as always for tuning in.
Blessings,
Sarah

This is going to be Fiber Trek week! I made it to vacation and am taking advantage of my time at home to really ramp up many projects. At least that’s my hope. My bother, niece, nephew and my mum arrived for four days of winter fun and ice fishing.
In this episode I revisit my Bilbo vest from Thread and Yarn, share about my adventure to the New England Farm and Fiber Festival and update my knitting projects. There will be no surprises here 😉
I hope this finds you well and in good spirits!

It’s the end of January, how is that possible? This, of course, means I am that much closer to February vacation! That’s going to be fun as my brother, nephew and niece are coming for an ice fishing adventure…but that’s a story for February. On this episode, I finish up my books, highlight a new book on art journaling in my library and there’s knitting.
