Serenísimo 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.

#Day 5 – Last year…

Small projects…
...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 …
