Slow Down & Stitch

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.

I've been making progress on two knitting projects and just finished a hand-sewn top with curved piecing.  Plus, an excerpt from my current read about owls!

This is your chance to exchange a puzzle and other gifts totalling $20-25 to make December 2024 extra special. This episode contains the details of the exchange and hopefully the answers to your questions. Looking forward to another great exchange!

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.

Yes, I swatched and lived to tell about it! In this episode, I give the details of finished socks, Rhinebeck sweater planning, making simple syrups, and a poem in celebration of Pride Month. All that, plus an update on the Q2 Ko-fi prizes that will be drawn and announced in the next episode.
