I finished a test knit using Tidal Yarns and some fringe. Plus, new cast ons, fiber-y events, stitching a self-portrait, the return of #powerpantry, and a poem suited to the times by Kay Ryan.
It’s a review of my weekend in Rhinebeck for the New York Sheep and Wool Festival and A Woolen Affair. I talk about what I wore, where I shopped, and all the goodness of a fiber festival at peak leaf peeping in New York State. Plus, a life-changing loaf of bread, my clog obsession, and a poem to celebrate the season.
An update on new sewn and knit garments, teaching and planning for classes, a quilting retreat, and Rhinebeck-bound.
Fall festival season continues with a trip to the Southern Adirondack Wool & Arts Festival to meet the men behind two new yarn companies.
It’s fiber festival season and knitting is in full gear!
Once and for all … I commit M1L and M1R to memory. Two nearly, oh so nearly, finished knitting projects, a new one on the horizon, sewing the Plover Pouch, and a new frontier in education. Plus, a poem featuring allusions to sewing and needlework by Samiya Bashir.
It’s all about the knitting and the cooking in this episode. I’m working toward a Rhinebeck sweater and a wool skirt to match. Plus project planning and lots of cooking — with corn and other vegetables. And a poem in defense of an overgrown garden. This episode is full-on summer!
Quarter 2 Ko-fi prize winners, an update on current projects, a trip to Maine, summer reading, and a poem by Teri Ellen Cross Davis.
