This site started out as a knitting blog, turned into a knitting-nerd-travel blog for a hot minute, and has been dormant for years. Maybe you stumbled over here curious about my email address domain. There’s not much to see unless you love puffins or puffy knits. I have another semi-dormant and semi-professional site over atContinue reading “What is this…”woolen warrior”?”

The 1990s brought Björk and her icy Icelandic voice into my consciousness. That’s about it. Then last year, I started knitting a Lopapeysa sweater becauseContinue reading “In the Land of Lopi”

Woolenwarrior just got home and found a little package waiting for her… from China!? Oh yeah!
