...like Kérkyra or Apokalókairo have been such a fun for me to design and knit! I am sure I speak for many a knitter when I say that we all need a beautiful, quick-to-knit project that requires just a skein of yarn, so we can use that beautiful skein we puchased on an impulse. Well, …

...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 …

... 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.
