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! 

I’m afraid the knitting hasn’t changed much;) Thank you as always for tuning in!

Somehow…;) my project have all coalesced around J.R.R. Tolkien. I finished the There & Back Again “Cardigan” as. you know. And then somehow I managed to set myself up for a hand quilting project with The Hobbit Vest by Thread and Yarn. There’s a little Woolly Thistle planning in this episode and some discussion around upcoming projects I’d like to consider casting on.

Fond Wishes, 
Sarah

‘m taking advantage of the cool, sunny weather and making the most of my outdoor opportunities. I have so much more I want to get done and I already sense the cold and darkness creeping up on me. In this edition I get a jump start on some cyanotype projects, highlight some favorite paints and give an update on my There and Back Again Cardigan! I hope this finds you well and in good spirits.

Oh summer…you were slow and lovely but not long enough for me to get all my immersive projects done! I did get a start on my natural dyeing experiments and I’ve made some serious in roads on my knitting. So on this episode we’ll chat about weld, logwood, Himalayan rhubarb and iron modifiers. The hobbit vest is off to be worn and as of right now I’m done the body of the There and Back Again. There’s a new cast on too. I hope this finds you well and in good spirits.

Considering the projects I got done this video feels short. But if I included every bit I recorded of the book binding project then it would be multiple hours. 😉 My hope is a glimpse at the process will entice you to try it yourself using the book highlighted.

Rob and I are headed into the woods for a few days and I’m looking forward to filming some of the Perseid Meteor shower. When I get back I think I’ll be throwing myself in to the dye process and putting together an indigo vat.

Hello!

We are in the true throes of summer in Maine. I’ve been busy Aunting as my niece came to stay for a week. Now that I’m on my own crafting agenda I’m starting to feel the pull of long, multi step projects!

On this episode I go in to paper marbling, document a little get-away to camp with my niece and there’s a finished sweater!

Hello!

I can’t believe it’s almost June. I enjoyed a bit of time in the beginning of the month to recharge my practice and spend some time on my knitting. In this episode, I begin the process and planning for some summer natural dye experiments. I highlight two quilts back from the long armer and I embark on a creative course with Alice Starmore.
