...crazy blankets! It's been a while since my last post, so a lot of knitting has been done and a lot of writing patterns, too! If you take the time to visit my Ravelry store, you will perhaps be interested enough to participate in the upcoming May Royal MKAL (this one deserves a whole post of …
... as much as possible these days. You know, there is this room in our flat that is supposed to be my own "study-workshop", well, when I get to tidy up and organize everything in a proper way. I am aware of my luck, don't get me wrong, but the truth is that rooms don't …
...is so much like meditating! It is one of my favorite ways of relaxing from work ( aka designing, writing the pattern and knitting the prototype). It is almost mindless, you just have the liberty to follow your heart and let the inspiration lead you, you make use of beautiful yarn leftovers (oh, perhaps you …
... not swimming pools, mind you, but color pools as you may have guessed! Well, stripes and color pools are the main features of this top-down raglan sweater that I knit for myself out of two super soft merino yarns: a deep dark green Abuelita and and a rainbow colorway by TreLiz (actually both yarns …
... is such a pleasure, especially if one is working on a project that does not require too much thinking, like the one I am currrently working on: a simple "rectangle" cardigan with minimum colorwork just to make use of my precious Malabrigo Rastita leftovers. You shouldn't expect anything elaborate, some ribbing to start with, …
...are the best, don't you agree? When I buy yarn it usually comes in skeins such as this one pictured below and a big part of the new project process is turning those skeins of yarn into beautiful yarn cakes ready to be knit... There is suspense involved as the yarn is released and then …
...are in my mind these days, as I am trying to organize my schedule for 2018. After years of using various planners in order to "stick to the plan" of the week or the month ahead, I decided I am not that "organizeable" a person and I turned into a Bullet Journal to find the …
...Year to you! This is a photo I took in Athens, on New Year's Eve and I hope this year looks just like it: sunshine and blue skies, hope and well-being throughout this new year. 2017 has been a year of ups and downs for me and my family, but I managed to keep working …
...can give you lots of happy moments, can't they? I'm sure you agree with me on that. I have been working on some little ones myself this past weekend, knitting for the holiday season, of course, but also having fun, playing with yarn ... enjoying the colors... like those of my upcoming "surprise" pattern, which …
...for your loyalty and support throughout this year; as the Holidays Season approaches, I am wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving Day! As always, for the next five days, every single pattern or ebook in my Ravelry Store is at 30% off the regular price! Happy shopping!!!
...is the name of my latest creation, a pattern for an airy crescent shawl that I made with the wonderful mohair/silk blend provided by L' Atelier Fibre Laine . The color of the yarn reminds me of the Byzantine Emperors' garments and so, Byzance is the name and simple, classic openwork stitch repeats create the impression …
... is my third favorite "step" towards finishing a prototype, casting on and binding off being the first two favorites, of course. Sometimes there is a long time interval between binding off and blocking, due to several reasons. This adds to the suspense and to the pleasure after blocking, as the element of surprise takes …
