Episode 143~Oldies & Goodies

Hello!

I so appreciated having a little extra time to edit this week after being pummeled by an early spring snow storm. At our house in the North we got almost 26″ of snow. So much snow that it was up to my hips in some places. It was astounding and beautiful but required a significant amount of digging out. 

But you’re here for the crafting adventures ;). On this edition I resurrect an old project, explore a new book and endeavor to become even more of a hobbit. The studio vlog will be published this weekend so if you can take it…you’ll get a double dose of me this week.

Episode 142~Failure, Acceptance and Knitting

Hello!

Summer is in the air here! Not really, it is spring but I’m acting like it’s summer with all this quilting on my agenda. I problem solve a near catastrophe and say goodbye to a long time quilting adventure. I also share a few new books and talk about ripping back my Yell. (Sarah just knit a swatch seems to be echoing across the cavern of experience 😉

Episode 141~Winter Vlog, Quilting & Knitting

It’s a leap year which I’m thankful for as I rallied to pull together this fun footage from my vacation.  I’m hopefully off to the cabin this forthcoming weekend but we’ll see how the weather holds and the snowpack for snowmobiling. 

On this edition I share a glimpse into our ice fishing traditions, another update on my Stars Upon Stars journey and knitting updates.  While I didn’t include a book feature I do talk about two new books I added to my library and revisit an old knit from Elizabeth Lavold’s work.

Episode 140~

Hi! Hi! 

I feel like my life has a little Where’s Waldo overtones to it these days :).  In this episode, I cut a new quilt out. Wild abandon may be to a strong a sentiment to describe the process but I did cast a bunch of projects to the side to get on with it.  I also wild abandon it up with my knitting dreams seeing as I finished Maddie’s sweater and the sleeve of another.  I’m getting ready for a long winter’s nap of a vacation..well kinda..my brother’s family is joining us for part of it but I can already feel my commuting cares slip away and I welcome the respite.

Episode 138~

Hello and Happy New Year!  I’ll go straight to the point…there’s no new knitting on this edition.  But I tackle my “to do bins”, experiment with a new kitchen tool, and thumb through a recent book.  There’s also some quilt discussion and musing on time management.

Turning of the Year~II

Well, this was an interesting few days!  Maine had a huge wind/rain storm which I drove down from Millinocket in to be able to go to work.  IT knocked out power and caused significant flooding. It also caused school to be cancelled for two days! It also knocked out internet. But luckily, my brother’s house retained access!  So it’s been quite an adventure of late.  If you’ve left a comment. I will get back to you soon once the internet is restored.

On this edition, I get out the gel plate, dark chocolate and update my progress on the sweater for my niece.
