...the release of the first clue of the Season's MKAL and I'm so happy for this new collaboration with an Indie Yarn Dyer from Italy: Betta calls her yarn "Le Tinte del Bosco", which refers to the way she treats yarn and the natural dyes she uses to create her palette. She told me she …
...is an amigurumi .pdf pattern you can purchase at MakeItEasyCraftroom on Etsy. Angelika, the Etsy Store owner, created this absolutely cute crochet pattern and needed someone to translate it into Spanish; I had the pleasure and the honor to do the job! The pattern is also available in English and French, as you can see …
...to a Holidays Season Count-down! Here is the plan I have in mind: you know how hectic these days can be, lots of things to do, especially when you are a crafter, I bet you are working on those last minute gifts, aren't you? Well, same here, so I thought if I share my pre-Holidays …
...is a garter and lace shawl, what else? It's called "Season's MKAL" and it starts on December 13, 2018.Well, after all, it is the most wonderful time of the year or should I say the busiest one? Probably both, but knitters are multi-taskers, so, you can squeeze in another project, just for the fun of …
...be over and I am so happy that I can finally show you some pictures of my (already fnished) prototype! I made this shawl using a mercerized cotton yarn, a Greek brand of international fame: El. D.

... 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 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.

...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.
