Hiking Pollett’s Cove, Cape Breton Island

July 14, 2019September 17, 2019 ~ finfolkandoak ~ 15 Comments

For years, I have heard of a place in Northern Cape Breton Island that is home to wild horses along with moose, seals, bears and coywolves. When I turned 20, my mom and sisters and I drove up to Meat Cove - the most Northern tip of Nova Scotia to spend time with the cliffs … Continue reading Hiking Pollett’s Cove, Cape Breton Island

Foggy Cape Breton Island - a hike in the rainHello!!!I feel like standing atop the tallest tree and just calling out to the wind! I hope you are all well and feeling a sense of renewal or a glimpse of hope! What a long winter and what better way to celebrate the sun and all … Continue reading Flora Lopi Sweater & Nature Walks

A lil sock pattern *elf pine socks* I have been having a lot of fun working on! 🌲 I was hoping to release the pattern before travelling to Ireland but so many things came up this week that it will have to wait until I get back! In the meantime, I'm making another green and rust pair while hanging around in airports for an eternity 🙃 #icelandicknitting #lopi #lettlopi #knittersofinstagram #simple

Hand-knit mitts off to my hometown region of Ottawa 🍁 . . Getting Etsy orders out because we are off to 🇮🇪☘️ this weekend!!! Any suggestions for wool or book stores in Dublin, please let me know! #fairisle #fairisleknitting #etsycanada #handknit #handmade

My latest fairisle sweater that I'm selfishly keeping for camping and winter nights 🏕️ 🌙 I knit this sweater over the course of the summer using #briggsandlittle wool (New Brunswick based wool) and fully intended to post on our Etsy shop. Sadly, the purple dye in the yoke ran all over the natural Ivory when I washed and blocked it 😞 I don't mind the effect but I would feel terrible if someone bought it and the dye ran even more! So will embrace this very cozy, imperfect creation of mine 🦊 #fairisle #knittersofinstagram #fae #fairisleknitting #simple #handmade

A week ago, with my sister, who agreed to wear my latest Icelandic sweater despite a vicious sunburn 💓 miss you dearly Lisa! Today, they are cutting this wheat in the field by our house and I'm lamenting the end of summer. This time of year is just so beautiful though, all golden with a cool breeze ☺️ even though summer was full of beautiful moments, I feel so much hope and happiness for the end of summer and the lengthening nights 🌙

Slowly renovating this old farm house! We laid this click flooring in our sunroom, such a simple change makes all the difference in a living space ☺️ 🦁 As for knitting, it has almost been non existent this summer due to my wrist injury but I am almost, almost finished this #briggsandlittle sweater! The design is my own and names I have not! #centuryhome #flooring #diyhome #knittersofinstagram #knitting #homerenovation

August's end atop Franey Mountain in Ingonish, Nova Scotia. After a steep hike, we were greeted by the vast Atlantic ocean and the river mountain valley! I highly suggest the climb if you are ever on this magical Island ❤️ #novascotia #hiking #getoutdoors #explorecanada #capebreton
