Designed by Jessie McKitrick

Two of my favourite Anglo Saxon poems are The Wanderer and The Seafarer. Both speak of the hardships of life on the hrímcalde sae (frost-cold or rime-cold sea) or íscealdnesae (ice-cold sea), the speaker from the former longing for home while in exile, and the speaker from the latter expressing a desire to once again journey the seas despite this hardship: "Even now my heart / Journeys beyond its confines, and my thoughts/ Over the sea, across the whale's domain,/ Travel afar the regions of the earth,/ And then come back to me with greed and longing."*

As the Seafarer is irresistibly drawn to once again travel the hwælweg (whale-road), I was drawn irresistibly to the idea of describing this same seascape on mittens and a hat using stranded colourwork depicting waves and the minke whales that so often frequent the North Sea.

*"The Seafarer" A Choice of Anglo Saxon Verse, translation by Richard Hamer, Faber and Faber Limited, 1970, pp 189-191.
