...was just what I needed in order to focus on certain future projects and think about new blog post topics (of course, I say so now that everything is OK again, haha) and all that while knitting a beautiful brioche hat out of some awesome leftover yarn. Well, the router broke down on Saturday afternoon and there …

It seems…
...the flu has attacked a lot of us this winter and I must say I'm almost surprised I'm one of them... I guess that's why it's been so hard on me, ha? It's already 10 days on antibiotics and inhalers and I'm feeling quite better, but, if you can take the hint, I couldn't even …
Magari …
... is a shawl with a wishful name and a purpose. “Magari” is an Italian word (and the yarn I used for the prototype comes is hand-dyed by an Italian yarn artist, Sara Sol), but the “roots” of the word ‘magari” are 100% Greek, in fact we use the word exactly as it is, but …
Hibernating…
...has never been my strong point. Don't get me wrong: I love sipping a cuppa, sitting comfortably in my favorite couch with a good Netflix series going on and some relaxing, new project on my needles on a cold, winter's day. I do. But you can't call that hibernating, can you? A new project is …
With our thoughts we make the world…
...is one of the most meaningful phrases attributed to Buddha. I'm not an expert in Buddhism, but I confess I often find that such peaceful, yet powerful, statements really agree with me, they help me take things positively and keep my faith in the future. It is an optimist attitude towards life, don't you think? As I …

Silencioso Cardigan…
... is the project for a MKAL during November! Silencioso is a Top-Down Cardigan that you will find rather easy (and I hope relaxing enough) to knit and equally pleasant to wear. It is quiet and elegant as its name suggests and, although there is the element of surprise, I can assure you I did my …
Progress is…
a."the movement forward or toward a place" b."the process of improving or developing something over a period of time" according to the Merriam -Webster Dictionary, and both definitions cover my way of thinking about this exciting journey that is the creation of new, beautiful things from scratch. For me, the means is yarn, needles and inspiration. For others, it …
Getting ready…
...for autumn is not that obvious when you live in Greece. Temperatures are still quite high and they will probably be so for some time, but when there are new, exciting knitting plans to be announced, there must be some photoshooting, even under the hot, Greek sun. Lise and I met just outside the Acropolis Museum, last …
Vap’oria Revealed…
I thought you'd like to take a look at the beautiful Vap'oria Shawls that we've been knitting along during August. It was a MKAL and we had fun!!! I think I'll let the pictures speak and just enjoy the unique beauty of each shawl! Isn't it fascinating how yarn and color can influence the final …
