My name is Sarah. I live in Adelaide, South Australia, with my husband, Matthew, and my cat, Selby.
I knit, crochet, spin, read and cook. I also listen to a lot of podcasts while I do the activities I just mentioned. We keep chickens and grow vegetables on our large block close to the centre of the city. Selby sleeps mostly.

How many hits have you had so far?
I will be keeping an eye on you and your wonderful advice. You can inspire me to be less materialistic!
I am trying to be more environmentally friendly so I just wanted to tell everyone who might find this relevant that they should use washable nappies. Much better for the environment, especially if you line dry them. My baby likes them too! And it means the wheelie bin doesn’t stink for a week……
Cheers sweetie. Love, Me (I think you can guess who this is)
Sorry Katie, I knew it was you right away; I could see your address when I approved the comment. I’m glad I can inspire my big sister.
I have had 90 hits in just over 1 week. Wow. I impress myself!

Hi Sarah,
I read your article in Yarn magazine as I ate my lunch here at work and decided to check out your Web site.
This looks really interesting and I love your philosophy, I’ll be visiting often.
Best of luck with your blog and magazine writing.
Gorgeous and inspiring website! Do you have any spots left for your sock knitting class coming up, I would love to book in!

Hi there: I am so excited that I found your website. I live in Canada where we still have lots of snow. So I am going back to knitting socks. Something that I learned in school way back when in Germany. Now that I am a grandmother, my little men …all 5 of them…all boys want bright socks. So here I am got started with one of your patterns but I am having a problem with ssk…I seem to have a mental block for I dont know what that stich is. Thank You ever so much. Margot
Hi Margot,
Thanks for your comment and your question. ssk is a neater way of doing slip 1, k1, pass slipped stitch over (psso). It leans the same way but lots of people find it is tidier. ssk goes like this: slip 1 stitch knitwise, slip another stitch knitwise, put the left needle through the two slipped stitches, in front of the right needle, knit the two stitches like normal.
Hope that helps. Have fun making socks! Sarah.
Great fabric for the tiered skirt! Would you mind sharing your favorite fabric spots? If they’re online srotes, even better since I am in OK.
Thanks! And great site. I wish I had time to do half the things you’ve accomplished!

Hi Shelby
I bought the fabric for the skirt in Malaysia. I don’t really have a favourite fabric store. In fact I hardly ever buy fabric. I just seem to collect bits and pieces as I go through life. I don’t sew much so my fabric stash is very small. S.
