Lovely episode, Sarah. Your work is always so inspiring.
Alice Starmore is a genius and a treasure. I knitted her Henry VIII sweater from her book Tudor Roses back in 2000. That sweater is where I keep all of my wool and knitting Street Cred. It's my one earthly possession that my kids will probably fight over when I'm dead and gone. I say that in jest, but it's probably not far off the mark, in all seriousness.
Good golly! Her Henry VIII sweater, that's epic! What a legacy knit to leave...and your kids are awesome for fighting over a wool sweater!
Thank you so much for all the inspiration and creative energy that you put into all of your Videos!
Aw, thank you!
That's so funny! I'm sitting here tonight knitting with some Hope Spinnery Wind-Spun that has been in my stash for like...20 years, watching this episode as I knit...and you just talked about this yarn! I bought it at the Common Ground Fair and have held it close for so many years. I'm making a hat (The Traveler Hat). I also have some ancient Alice Starmore that I need to find the right project for. Anyway...just had to say it was a fun surprise to hear you mention your Hope Spinnery stash!
No way!!! That is too funny!
Sarah, I am always in such awe of your many talents. 🌷🪻🌸🌼🌻🌹
Thank you Catherine
Wild color is one of my favorite natural dyeing books. Great techniques and recipes!
Sarah, you are so inspiring Enjoy your summer vacation.
You caught the northern lights! Love your creative processes. I hear you about the difficulties of commuting for an entire work week - what to bring, how to not spend all one's time packing and unpacking, how to remember to bring what one wants/needs. I am impressed at how much creativity you fit in on top of that travel! Looking forward to a second watch of this as I was knitting from a chart and kept missing bits =) PS: always love when I see a heart or a reply from you because I know there is a new episode waiting!! =)
Thank you Wendy, I figured I send along a reply as I just posted ;)

The fabrics and patterns in your quilts dance together so well! What a treasure you are to your family and friends with your creativity. All the best as you wind down your school year. Do you have any beginning-of-summer traditions? When I was teaching I often put a book into my bike bag and rode along Minnehaha Creek to Minnehaha Falls in south Minneapolis. It's near the place where the creek empties into the Mississippi River. I'd buy an ice cream cone and read my book next to the Falls' overlook. And relish the expanse of the well-deserved summer break! 🚲 🍦 📖 😊
Thank you Lynn. No, tradition here but you've got me thinking now. My mum always takes me out to dinner the first day of school though. And cheers to the expanse of summer break, I'm throughly enjoying it!
I can't wait to see how your natural dyeing turns out! I used black walnut powder a few months ago and even though I used a ton of the powder, the final color turned out to be a milk chocolate brown. I was hoping for a darker color. I had great success with madder. I also like the book The Modern Natural Dyer.
Thank you for the insight. I will look up the book. I've been a tear lately ordering books. Can't get enough!
