    Fall 2026 Knitting + Weaving Plans

    Na Craga with Nutiden I finallyyyy started this dream project. It’s interesting because it isn’t exactly how I imagined. I always forget that because unspun has so little weight, it doesn’t create these chunky heavy cables that hang on my body with any weight – it just kind of sits there. With that in mind,…

  • End of Summer Reflections

    End of Summer Reflections

    I have been working through the Artist’s Way with Ellie of AllWoolFibers and one thing it helped me (re-)realize is that I need to reflect more. I (and Jeremy) have accomplished so much in the past year, but it is way too easy for me to point out all the things we didn’t do (no…

    Farm hunting and changing seasons

    Wow, it is hard to keep up with a blog. It’s not as if things aren’t happening, or I don’t have things I want to say, but sometimes everything is just moving so quickly it feels like there isn’t time to reflect on anything. Jeremy and I are in the throes of farm-hunting. Throes is…

  • What is my why

    What is my why

    In a lot of the farm business planning workbooks and guides, they talk about identifying your *why* of farming. It has been a really helpful exercise to think through that, and also what my ideal looks like. Why do I want to farm? What does my ideal look like? I know this will keep evolving,…
