Murmeldyr has been crafty lately. I got these woven labels so now I can tag my stuff in real life too!
“Handmade by Yirdfast”
Yirdfast is a Scots word meaning “earthbound” – in a “both feet on the ground” kind of sense. This has become my trademark in the crafting world. I have googled and froogled and web archive’d the name and any and all hits that were not a Scots text talking about some particularily deep-set rock, have been me bouncing around within the World web. I hereby claim it as my own. If you steal my name, I will hunt you down.
Everything made by Yirdfast is based on tradition and natural materials – some things strictly so (no factory involved in any part of the production) and other things more relaxed – but always based in nature.
Commuter’s socks: I spend at least 2 hours a day on public transport, and needle binding is just perfect for that otherwise unproductive time. At a rate of one pair a week, I rapidly accumulate socks. Perhaps I should open a shop…
Hat, ready for felting:
This, I tell you, is the last woolen tablet woven band you’ll see from me in a long time. Wool is just too wooly for these finetuned patterns, I’ll stick to linen for a while.
The mead from Heimspikka has finally been bottled, along with a lovely mountainberry brew. All with good help of Arnfinn’s bottling device (the curious red thing on the bottom left).
Oh Aggy! I’m so impressed. This is fantastic. Will you be exporting any time soon? 😉
Thank you so very very much! 😀 What would you like? Sending you a message.
