Evening walk in the woods and a glimpse of a new sweater **forage sweater** inspired by berry picking, herb and seed collecting and all the harvest of our wild woods 🌲🌲🌲 Hope you enjoyed this Sunday! #lopapeysa #handknit #knitting #woodland
Learning to carve wooden spoons, inspired by medieval woodwork ☺️ These two are made from salvaged birch and plum - the little gnome and flower were already there in the wood, I just helped release them! I have so much to learn but am proud of these little guys 🌲 #woodcarving #handcarved #woodwork #medievalibspired #diy #artisan
A current sweater I'm knitting with local maritime wool (#briggsandlittle ) under the stormiest of skies in the garden 🌩️ my wrists have been hurting so much so I can only knit a little bit at a time, it has actually given me time to learn a new skill that I've always dreamt of spending my time, woodworking ☺️! #knittersofinstagram #gardenknitting #livefolk #simple #garden
Was going to share all my knitting and my latest Barn Owl ink drawing when Petey decided that needles and balls of yarn would definitely make a cozy bed 😽 The natural colour is a sleeve to a new sweater and under dear Pete, a fingerless mitt! And then of course one of my favourite magical birds 🦉 Hope you enjoy your evening! #penandink #owls #owlillustration #knittersofinstagram #artisan #cozy #natureart #artistsofinstagram
I prefer forests to cities, outskirts to crowds, books and knitting to parties.  A rooted wallflower.  This introversion can be both a blessing and a curse.  A blessing for my enriched, creative personal realm– a curse for not finding my voice in the wider world. A voice that from the heart speaks for equality and liberty, for justice and love.  For an end to racism, bigotry, misogyny – for the dissolution of our infuriating egos. After what I’ve read that occurred in the knitting community over the course of the last week – I have to break my silence – we will not stand for hatred that stems from ignorance.  We can do so much better in simply treating people with kindness, compassion and empathy.  If you read anything that questions ingrained racist attitudes and feel defensive – please just stop, breath and listen.  You can always, always change.  There is so much hope for change. I see clear evidence of change in our society by the support and words of compassion that so many of you have bravely voiced, thank you so much for speaking on behalf of those of us that can't find out voice , thank you and we will do better.
Knitting and brewing coffee in Pollett's Cove, Cape Breton Island all while horses grazed about us! Of course I carried the sweater that I'm knitting in my pack... Completely normal hiking gear, wouldn't you agree? 🌜 . I wrote a blog post about this 19km return hike to Pollett's Cove! Dreaming of getting back here some day soon 🐴 . #capebreton #knittersofinstagram #novascotia #getoutside #explorecanada #knit #pollettscove #naturewitch
