Your Yell is beautiful! So glad you have this time to explore and experiment 😁

🥰

You could add leather ends to your belt to make it useable for you if you think it is too small and you don’t want it laced up

Your naming “…more of a skills journey…” struck a chord with me. Those times when I have completed the “interesting part” of a project and then noticed my engagement diminish with a project may indeed be related to my focus on building skill-set rather than having “the thing itself”. Curious about others’ experiences along those paths. Thank you for sharing your creative insights and explorations, and resultingly beautiful work.

Thankyou for the inspirational videos you do. You do lovely work.

🩵💚❤️💙

Everything you showed today, Sarah was so inspiring but seeing how beautifully your Yell is turning out was the topping on the cake! Gorgeous! 🌸🌼🌻🌿🍃

I have two skeins of that old Peace Fleece….with the same “vintage” label & same color! Looking forward to seeing what you decide to make with it 💛

Your excitement inspires me! I can’t until you retire and have all the time to explore everything you desire. Hopefully SOON! 😂

Thanks Sarah

@fibertrek hi Sarah. Love your videos. I’m curious what the name of the board game is that you are playing with your niece. It’s such a pretty game. 🥰

I really enjoy these crafty catch ups and seeing what you are making ❤

Your podcast is always such a lovely company, thank you! When you talked about the quilt and the missing triangles I thought that if it is the star color that is missing it would be kind of fun to just make one whole star in a different fabric but I guess you already would have thought about that if that was the case.

🌟What wonderful creative things you have made again! I especially love your knits….it is really warm in Germany too, so my to be knit sweaters are pausing a bit. Have a great and peaceful summer!

Your experiments with paper marbling was captivating and reminded me of my own experience (limited but fun) with this technique years ago. What better “camp” than Aunt Sara’s camp for your niece. Building lasting memories are enriching for everyone! We do this with our grandson and I feel so grateful each time for the expected and unexpected adventures we have together. Enjoy your summer break and thank you so much for your episodes 😊

Love your time with your niece. Every time I see my granddaughters, who don't live near us, I show up with Mimi's craft boxes. We have so much fun. I'm teaching the older ones to knit. Newly retired, I'm looking forward to more time with them. Love your channel!!! ❤

Sarah, great forays into marbling! I’ve lots of marbling supplies in my studio I need to dig out and use again, you’ve inspired me….did you know you can also marble using colored chalk, scraping the dust bits on top of water….I’ve done this in the past with my elementary students, because it is less technical (I am a recently retired art teacher), results are lovely! Enjoy your summer break!

Hi Sarah. I was mesmerized watching you marble paper. I had to set my stitching aside. Making do is what patchwork is all about. It will make this quilt unique and special. I am inspired to pick up a wall quilt I am hand quilting after I finish my stitched birthday sampler today. Your sweater is absolutely beautiful! Your podcasts bring joy to a too hot summer's day. 🧵🪡🧶

I love the sweater (and quilting and paper marbling)

I always wanted to try paper marbling.... how beautiful. ❤❤❤

ooh, which cable for the peace fleece? I'm on the hunt for such a thing. 😊

I see you have a featherweight!! Love mine.

Thank you for another wonderful episode. I enjoy seeing your multi-craftual adventures. The leaves are beautiful. The silhouettes really speak to me. I look forward to seeing you model your roots and shoots sweater when it’s less tropical in Maine. Sounds like a sauna. Sweater weather will come soon enough. I also appreciate and agree with your statement. Let’s stop making perfection the enemy of great and completed. I see how you wanted to get the quilt just right for your nephew. You put love into every seam and stitch. I hope that you enjoy the rest of the summer.

Must be so fun to go to camp with you, not a dull moment !

Another delight! If I were a young girl, I'd want you for my "auntie!" The canoeing brought back such fond and special memories. Have you canoed in the Boundary Waters of MN? It looks similar to your gorgeous wilderness area. I'm working on a cardigan with Frangipani from TWT. Indeed, it's a special shop. Enjoy your summer, and I hope the weather cools a bit!

Visiting Aunt Sara looks like the best summer camp ever. Inspiring as always!

Wow, once again you inspire me and make my creativity come alive! I want to explore journal/book making. I've been making fodder through Willas classes and love it!❤ I want to make a fabric book too as I am an experienced embroiderer and stitcher. I paint, print, stitch and knit. I've been knitting for over 20 years. So, I absolutely love your vlog/podcast. I been watching for a few years. You inspire me greatly and have learnt so much from you.😊❤

Wow, your paper marbling is sooooo cool, Sarah! Thank you for talking through your process and showing us how you do it. So neat! I had to laugh about your glasses! I am always losing my cheaters all over the house. 😂 🍃☘️🌿🌱🍁🍂🌸

I still haven't seen a pic of your finished Compass Rose Quilt....wink wink nudge nudge....😊

6:38 I enjoyed this episode. I wanted to recommend a book that I think you would like. The title is Forage & Stitch by Caroline Hyde-Brown. She is a textile artist from the UK. The project on p. 112, "Ancient Woodland" is gorgeous!

The Eastern Phoebes and the sassy squirrels are pulling me right back to camp, along with seeing you in your space.

Sarah, I realized that I tend to watch on our television and that means, for me, that I forget to Like and comment as I used to do more often here on CZcams. Your portfolio of work is always interesting and inspiring to me. Happy to do my part to amplify your creative endeavors and share with friends and family. Yay for the summertime at home to dive deeper into all that interests you each moment.

Loved this episode Sarah. So inspiring ☺️

Hi Sarah, got to visit Portland Maine a few days ago. Got to visit Port Fiber yarn shop. Casey was so helpful. I have seen her booth at Spa a few times. I also went to Knit Wit in Portland. I did my own Yarn crawl😂. Enjoy your summer.

So happy to see a new episode! I love all your projects..the Yell cardigan is looking AMAZING!!! Keep up ALL the good work!

I’m usually too quiet around here, however I just want to say thank you for sharing your beautiful making and life with us all. 53 here and understanding more now than ever how much my love of wool and wool folk has mended my soul and gave me a life I love.❤️ from Texas.

Sarah, I was so pleased to watch this episode. I love all your projects and watching the Botanical section just was so calming and relaxing. Thank you for bringing me such pleasure xx enjoy your summer and crafting. xx

Did you hear in the news that the ship Ernest Schackleton was sailing on when he passed, has been found recently off the coast of Labrador? Good to hear / see from you again! Enjoy the lazy, hazy days of summer in the North Woods!!! Cheers

Thanks have a good summe !!!

A wool series would be great! 😊

Nice video. Please do the wool series, I need to find my inspiration again!

Lovely, and congratulations.

As someone with a very limited sense of smell, this idea is fascinating to me. I have never been able to smell many things or very often in my life. When I do, it’s normally bad smells. I’m just so mind blown over the concept of making your own perfume and then basing a color palette in that.

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!

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.

Sarah, you are so inspiring Enjoy your summer vacation.

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! 🚲 🍦 📖 😊

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!! =)

Lovely episode, Sarah. Your work is always so inspiring.
