Episode 110~Cabin to Coast

Whoa! June was busy! I include in this episode some adventuring to the North Woods and to the coast of Maine. Alas, there is no knitting…But if you’re interested in felt, fabric and gel plate experiments, well, you’re in luck. As always, thank you for taking some time with me. A deep heartfelt thank you to those that contribute financially through Patreon. I have added one bonus video per month over on my Patreon page if you are interested in more in-depth look at projects, primitive skills and textile arts.

Episode 105: Spring Soul

It was fun to gather a little maple sugaring footage for you all. This process starts with tapping so you’ll have to wait for the boiling stage! This is a process that Rob thoroughly enjoys every year. In this edition, I highlight some more geli printing techniques I learned from Robyn McClendon on her YouTube channel. I also talk about one of my favorite yarns, Foula. As always, many thanks for taking some time be here and for those that contribute financially, I am deeply grateful. I have added a bonus episode over on Patreon highlighting six of my favorite yarns…which I end up labeling my top 5 but, ahem, it’s six 😉

Episode 102: Winter Craft

Hello! I hope you’ve enjoyed the beginning of 2022. As you will see, I’ve been busy taking full advantage of winter craft time. I’ve recently discovered how much fun a gel plate can be! I take you on a short, amateur, adventure in this episode. There’s also knitting, ahem a momentous moment with the Bressay, spinning and a wee bit of stitching. A deep heartfelt thank you to the Patrons of this podcast. I am so enjoying working with my new camera and my subscription to Epidemic Sound for music!
