Did I write a week? Well, apparently…
...I meant a month or so later, but here I am again. Adjusting. At least, trying to adjust to a situation that I really wish had never come up. I'm sure you're all with me on this. Covid-19 has taken us all by surprise if not by terror. I am not going to bombard you …
It’s been a few months since…
...my previous post and I don't know how many of you, knitters and friends out there, are still interested in reading my posts. It's totally my fault, of course, as I have been hibernating for quite some time, but it certainly wasn't intentional on my part. I will tell you all about it in a …
Early Release means …
...you get to purchase the pattern at an extra special price, right? Right! Its name means “gracious” and hopefully you can see why. It is light and airy; it is an extremely quick knit, which makes it the perfect project for a last-minute gift. The lace motif is so easy to memorize, you will be …
Manifesto
Hi, my name is Maria (aka #lacengarter_knits) and you can see me holding the only weapons I know I have to use to make my way into the huge, wide knitters’ community: needles and yarn. Although it may seem to some that I am the privileged, white-race, straight woman (and in a sense this is …
Tolerante has just been released…
...a week earlier than I expected! I am so greateful that my wonderful group of test knitters completed the test so early (this also means it is a really quick knit, the perfect summer project). Tolerante is the second shawl pattern from the series The Peace Trilogy. Its name refers to tolerance, of cource; the …

Serenísimo is…
... the first in a series of 3 patterns under the name “The Peace Trilogy”. The “peace” I refer to is rather an inner feeling, a state of mind and an attitude. Knitting is a way of expression and colors communicate various mood changes. I found myself opting for these happy, bright yet quiet colors …
Inclusion in the knitting community…
...has been an issue for some months now and I am sure you have bumped into some post or another on IG or Twitter, not to mention Ravelry (a great discussion has taken place there). I admit that my first reaction upon reading these posts and comments was: well, for those of us who live …

On new beginnings and old loves…
You may have noticed that I have been flirting with the "lace'n'garter" hashtag for quite some time; well, the more I use it the most confident I am about it. Although I have worked with various stitch patterns and techniques, in fact I have even designed brioche and/or mosaic and stranded colorwork items and will …
Fika – A sock pattern…
...coming up by the end of January is my first knitting pattern for 2019. Fika is a Swedish word which refers to " a coffee and cakes break" which should happen everyday and in the company of good friends and family. Can you think of a better start for a new year? As the holidays …
