Hiya <2 I finally found some time to prepare one of my most recent Pangur Ban sweaters for the shop.

The wild blueberry fields are blazing with red, the tamarack trees (or larch) a brilliant orange/yellow. As you walk under them, the needles gently fall among your feet. Our walks have … Continue reading Foxtail Icelandic Fingerless Mittens: A Woodfolk Pattern
Good afternoon Earthly creatures! I hope we are all well on this elusive February 29th! It's overcast on the island, the thick blanket of snow is coated in ice, making walking a treacherous endeavour. The days are growing so much longer and I am over joyed with the thought of moss beginning to … Continue reading Leap Year
Salutations Fae Folk! How are you! The moon cycle will start anew in only a few days and as I look back over this past cycle, I can honestly say that I have no idea how it escaped me.
