Fiber arts have a special kind of magic that we creators craft into garments.
River Hag has brought together the folkloric properties of plants and the natural beauty of wool to help focus and enhance those intentions.

Usually I avoid Valentine’s Day themes as “too commercial” or whatever, but I dunno - this year feels like it couldn’t hurt to mindfully love on each other a little extra, in whatever way feels best. So I made some kits with that in mind.

This is a sewing pattern. It is also a page from a late 14th century manuscript that is one of two primary sources for an important Icelandic saga (Sturlunga saga), but that was probably not important to the 17th century person who really needed a sewing pattern.

What's up, Canada? Why no ice on your side of the river? Is this retribution for the tariffs??

This is written by the bishop who stood up to Orange Voldemort. Everyone should be buying this. It's available on Amazon for $14. I'm an atheist and I'm buying it. #booksky

Sharing a bit of the process behind "The Snow Queen". I still can’t believe we got snow this year. It feels like magic! ❄️

A Germanic tradition describes honey, akin to holy
water, being used at baptisms. It was smeared on the baby’s lips & forehead as a blessing ritual. It was also a source of protection for the baby, as newborns were regarded as a soul or spirit until they ingested food

In the shop: Worsted weight Romeldale yarn from my flock dyed with bracken fern.

Make a garment for one who needs : protection, purification, or a return to one's origins. Or is experiencing a beginning, new life, or time of discovery.

There's magic in the fact that even grouping by intention, the plants compliment each other beautifully!

Minis are 50 yds each making 200yds per bundle.

Here's a little video I did for those *other* platforms I'm no longer on about the making of 'Bring It Up Alive.' I don't think the sound comes over to Bluesky? Still learning this platform but grateful for it.
