  • A cosy spring time vlog - Join me in my pottery workshop and foraging, baking, gardening, learning to knit and giving our cottage home a spring refresh, with some reflections on trying to live seasonally and slowly. Nature’s external world can sometimes help you reflect on your own internal world. Spring brings with it a lightness and a hope that really fuels me creatively.

    I just subscribed. Particularly, as a black American woman, I celebrate you! Often times were taught in this country that if we take a quiet moment, we have committed a deep criminal offense! I disagree. And clearly, so do you. New sub here

    I joined the knitting community at age 14 years with my cousin to curb boredom, I found the "purl" pattern the easiest to learn. Since then I've knitted 4 sweaters, and I still wear the very first sweater I made at age 14 years. Now I'm trying to crochet, and working with the magic circle which is kicking my ass.

    Heya, love your content ❤ but I gasped when I saw the mint the in ground 😬 this is from my heart, word to the wise you might want to repot it into its own isolated pot. Mint is famous for taking over a garden totally and generally it’s recommended that stay separate ❤️❤️❤️

    I’m fortunate that I am a life long knitter and crocheter, my mother taught me both when I was very small. Her mother and grandmother taught her, so I always feel connected to my maternal ancestors when I knit or crochet.
    Even though I a 30+year experience I love beginner projects to slow down and de stress to. I am currently crocheting different flags, right now I’m making the pride flag as a wall hanging. Flags are great because just get the right colors, make the stripes and stitch them together, whatever size you like.
    Happy spring and happy knitting!

    this was exactly what i needed to calm my nerves just now, thank you so much for sharing ❤❤❤
    also yay knitting! i got back to it last year, after decades of trying again and always dropping it again, and faster than before. my godmother was always (!) knitting on something and obviously very good at it so i learned the basics from her as a kid (sadly she lived quite far away, in another country even, so all we had were some vacations toghether) which is really nice, just having that deep muscle memory and knowing how to begin. but life wasn't too kind to me otherwise so my anxiety/perfectionism slowly killed all the fun in arts & crafts for me until i didn't even try anymore. permitting myself to just casually be watching other knitters and crafters without falling back into self-blame finally got me to the point of taking creative risks again and it really changed my whole outlook on life a lot! with my last project (just a simple scarf) i made an intentional point of unravelling it again and again, even finishing it a few times while already knowing that i was probably going to unravel it again - to prove to myself that it's totally okay to try and 'fail'. none of my work was wasted, because i got better and better at the pattern (two-colour brioche, highly recommend) and at estimating what length/width i can get from the type and amount of yarn i had. i am incredibly happy with the result and i wear it all the time 🤗
    as an actual pattern i can highly recommend the 'garter stitch mitts' by isolda. not the perfect season to make mitts i know, but it's a freebie and i learned a lot from it. plus i love the quirky but minimalist look of it 😁
    again, thanks so much for sharing 💖🔥💕

    I’m sure someone already mentioned, but mint is highly invasive. If you don’t want it to take over the whole garden it’s best grown in a contained space.

    My daughter when she was 9 taught me how to knit. I couldn't get it at all. Fast forward a year and now I'm a stressed out graduate student; I pick up the needles and start knitting. Knitting literally got me through my second year of lectures. I love spinning my own yarn too! UA-cam is a great place to find tutorials. Ravelry is a great place for patterns and ideas for what to do with your yarn. The experience of knitting gets better and better with the type of yarn used. Like, I love me some squishy merino. I am currently knitting with some Wool and the Gang which is nice. Oh and socks, making socks is so satisfying!

    This is lovely. 😊 I taught myself to knit in college (with help from my mother, who herself was more into macramé). I started with scarves then worked my way to mittens, hats, legwarmers, and (much, much later) socks and gloves. In the beginning, I really loved books geared towards kids and teens to learn how to follow patterns and for inspiration.
