Connecting to our ancestors is definitely necessary! We feel so much more grounded when we do. There's something so beautiful and healing about that connection. The next time you and I get together we need to get out our knitting! ❤️

Oh, Mairi! This gave me tingles - that we've been doing this for thousands of years. I'll be sitting with that. And I might just head down to our local yarn shop tomorrow to get some supplies!

Do you know what the etymology of Roc is? I've never heard that older term for 'distaff,' but I'm fascinated!
