Episode 90: Ice & Eagles

Hello & Happy New Year!

I’ve dabbled a bit more in editing and filmography. I am enjoying this piece of the process and I hope my amateur skills add a little extra zing.

In this episode be prepared for LOTS of bird footage. As the title implies, there is a lot of ice and eagles. I enjoyed gathering little vignettes of my time over the holidays. I wonder what the next couple of weeks will bring now that I am back in school. I’ve brought my camera down south to my parents to capture some time with the sheep and maybe even my riding lesson!

I also awkwardly announce a Patreon page. You’ll see the link below the post if this is of interest to you. All the content remains free and charges will be on a per episode basis not to exceed two posts per month. Additional content will be posted here should I choose to add any additional episodes or enrichment. All the same, a heartfelt thank you for all support.

Episode 88: Moose & Bear Talk

Hello Friends,

I’ve added some elements this time round as I get more familiar with editing on iMovie. I am by no means a cinematographer or film specialist, but I had some fun adding music and other segments. The initial part features a hike I take with Ruby regularly and some scenery from around our house in the woods. I share a few funny stories of bear adventures and reminisce a bit about my old dogs, Fern, Coe and Bella. There is, of course, knitting and stitching at the end. I hope this finds you well and in good spirits. Thank you for your support of the vlog and all your comments and insights.

Fondly, Sarah

Episode 86: Lost Words

Hey Friends,

As you can probably tell I am still a little obsessed with The Lost Words by Robert MacFarlane and Jackie Morris. They recently published The Lost Spells and The Lost Words game. I share my experience with these two new pieces in the podcast. I also have some knitting and an idea for a new make-a-long. You’ll see a separate video highlighting my thoughts about start and end time, which correlate to the solstice and equinox. As always, I hope this finds you well and in good spirits.

Fondly,

Sarah

Episode 85: Primordial Savoring

Welcome! As the title implies this episode travels outside the bounds of knitting. I share a little insight from the Weavers Oracle as a way to support my lackluster thought process these days. I hope that you are well and in good spirits wherever you are and as always thank you for tuning in.

Episode 83: Yoke Fever

Hello!  I hope this finds you well and in good spirits.  I found myself without my camera why staying south at my parents but not to be deterred and let perfection be the enemy of great (thank you very much Natalie Chanin) I pushed forward with some recording application on my computer.  Hopefully, it is clear enough for you to see the projects.  Probably best to NOT to watch it full screen… bleck!  

Below are listed the knitting patterns and yarns I mentioned as well as any links to other stitching resources.  Thanks as always for tuning in. See you next time!  Fond wishes, Sarah

Episode 82: To Catch a Craft

Hello all! How are you fairing this surreal time of Covid?  I can’t complain as my immediate situation includes my dog and my craft stash.  If I don’t look too far beyond my environs all is steady and manageable.  I hope you’re finding moments of steadiness and finding opportunities to take positive action in your community or with family.

This time round I had hoped to have two separate videos.  One to detail my stitching, quilting, and weaving and the other to discuss knitting with some details about my trip to Norway.  BUT… I am having internet issues and could not upload the knitting video in a timely fashion. I am still working on it with my friend Kevin at the internet company. With any luck I’ll be able to post about the knitting soon.

I also had a difficult time uploading in HD this time around so it might benefit you to watch on a smaller screen for crispness.  Agh, I was very frustrated by this!~  I hope you find something inspiring here.  In the meantime, be well and take heart.
