Ireland

The 900 Kilometers Scarf

in ,

I used to have a full time knitwear design job.
I would design and release knitwear collections seasonally and knit all of the pieces myself, by hand, one stitch at a time.

(You can see some past collections here, here and here if you like)

I gave it up a few years ago in pursuit of other ventures, but lately I’ve been missing creating things with my hands so I’ve been knitting a few pieces again here and there.

I had the pleasure of knitting this commissioned one-of-a-kind piece while I was in Ireland. Inspired by the rolling green landscapes and the 900 or so kilometers driven over the course of a week.

Knitting is a thing I’ve done for almost twenty years of my life and you just can’t shake that kind of engrained motion.

Perhaps more knitwear work will be in my future down one of these roads somewhere...

Folkling Shop Update | Books From Ireland

in ,

A tiny collection of special tomes from my adventure to Ireland are now listed in the shop ✨

As a writer and photojournalist, literature is one of my favorite things to hunt for in shops on back country roads and down funky city side streets.

For years, no matter how little money I had, or where I was in the world, books were always the exception to any budget or any packing restriction. I have been known to carry armfuls of books onto various forms of transportation all over this world because they wouldn’t fit in my suitcase... I have long held the belief that there is an appetite in each of us that nothing like a good book can fill.

You can shop these special books from Ireland here.

Camping In Ireland

Camping In Ireland

tiny houses, simplicity, intentional living, minimalism -- all types of limitation that bring freedom. all topics that have been on my mind for a while now, but ever pressingly this week.
i loved coming across these photos again, from an adventure in Ireland in 2015 where i had the privilege of staying in this cute camper in the middle of The Burren. the contemplative space that the month of January usually brings with it has had me looking back into various archives and it's been a happy and welcome time of recollection and rediscovery. 

in fact, looking back, i recognize this experience as one of the earlier placed logs on the ever growing fire that is my desire to live more simply and intentionally.
