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.

Happy New Year! I hope you’re finding the beginning of 2025 full of wonder and possibility. I was quite chuffed that I finished the Gjof Sweater over my vacation and opened up the opportunity to think about my Wiola Agnes Kofte.
I admit KALs are challenging to me. But these designs were so beautiful I thought knitting together would be a way to see if this framework could evolve from what it used to be to something different than my past experience. I chat about the details in the knitting segment on this episode.
You’ll notice that there is some different footage in this episode as I finally got a drone. The market took a long time to develop exactly what I wanted in a price range that made sense for my skills ;). I’m having fun expanding out the stories that can be told in my life using this new tool. I’ve only crashed it twice!

I had grand plans for this episode but some technical difficulty got in the way. I’m spending some time over the new year to rethink my format and how to be more efficient with my time and still get the imagery I want. All that to say, I’m so thrilled my friend Sofia agreed to chat with me over zoom about her new book. While I really wish I could’ve traveled to Sweden for this chat, I didn’t want to wait. A very happy new year!

I was so excited that Nicole was able to join me on the vlog. I hope you enjoy this conversation about knitting and our projects as much as I did!

I’m excited to highlight in this episode my finished Twisted Rib Cardigan in Tidal Yarns and dream a little bit about a new cast on even though the Yell lingers on my knitting periphery 😉

Jeepers, October has really sent the plague after me! I battled another round of cold symptoms and I’m happy to report I’ve won and am on the mend. Between that and looking after my brother’s family for a week not much knitting was done. I did have some finishes though when it comes to quilting . And I was greatly inspired by last week’s wildlife video to embark on a nature journaling attempt.
I’m afraid the knitting hasn’t changed much;) Thank you as always for tuning in!

Whenever I attend an event or venture out into the fiber world, I have big dreams of all the footage I’ll get. In reality though, filming, hosting, and directing compounded with the fun doesn’t always work out. I’m glad Patricia remembered to take some photos. I grabbed her reel from IG in hopes it would highlight the feeling and the people in the booth. I found the time at the cabin much easier to capture, as it was just me, Rob and Ruby. And as you’ll see even the animals cooperated!Â

I always think I’m going to get all the footage! But alas, shooting and hosting don’t alway align. I really enjoyed my time visiting The Woolly Thistle and attending Vermont Sheep & Wool. I was happy to capture some images of Millapalooza as well on a gorgeous fall night. But the real joy of this episode is the conversation I got to have with Corinne about soulful stash, wool and place-based yarns. I hope you enjoy it too. Somehow the last part of the conversation got cut off but it was probably just as well 😉 We were really having a good time and it might not have stopped!
I apologize for being linked to YouTube but my video was too much storage for my Vimeo subscription. So in the spirit of getting things done, I appreciate your flexibility!
