2022 Year Wrap up
Tag: colourwork
Hazel Afmaeli Yoke
For the final project I’ll share this year, I want to show you this autumnal lopapeysa. This jumper has been finished for a while, patiently waiting for a day when it finally was cold enough and the idea of wearing an Icelandic jumper didn’t seem […]
Autumn into December
We have enjoyed a beautiful -if ludicrously mild- autumn. I’m kind of running out of superlatives to describe the rapid changes to our climate on the blog, but yeah, “there was little need for a sweater the entirety of October and my entire balcony garden […]

Winter Crafts and Walks
Hey everyone, I hope you all are getting through February, with the world feeling so incredibly heavy, and even heavier after this week. My thoughts are with the people of Ukraine, and I hope this nightmare ends soon. I know it’s a common trope that […]
