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 …

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 …

... 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 …

Day #29 – A year of patterns (Part B)

On 29/12/2018 By mariazilIn In English please...Leave a comment

As I go through my 2018 self-published patterns, I feel so blessed that I am able to do what I love and to love what I do: knitting is a very solitary occupation, even when you are surrounded by knitters you are the one in charge of your project, it is the result of your …

...listening to "The Little Book of Hygge" by Meik Wiking and I confess, I got hooked. It describes the Danish way of living every moment and savouring little things in life in such an appealing way. I just love listening to audiobooks, I suspect all knitters do, and this one was just perfect for this …

...more as a sketchbook than as a planner, but then, it IS meant to be used that way, too, isn't it? This is one of my favorite things, one of those ways to relax and just enjoy a few quiet moments in the company of my colored pencils... in case you  wonder about i, well, …
