although still August a reminder that winter is on the way,
so time to look at buying a winter coat in the next few months, but what happens if there are no nearby shops and you have to make one?
and that is a fact of
life for Li Ziqi who
presents pastoral glimpses into daily life on her farm in the countryside of
China,
in a video from earlier this year, Li walks her audience through the steps of knitting and dying a floor-length purple cloak with wool sourced from a neighboring farm,
the five-minute film follows her journey across the snow-strewn mountains, watches as she inspects and brushes out the gathered wool, and features cameos by a few puppies and a very tiny lamb,
She records common projects and necessities with precision and care, often focusing on the tasks needed to created a multi-course traditional meal or demonstrating the ways she prepares for the region’s harsh winters,
and what a delightful video this really is, You can follow her on her Youtube channel, and can look at more snippets from her
life on Facebook, so grab a coffee and have a look, it really is a lovely video.
