... is my latest shawl pattern designed exclusively for Unfilodi-Knit House in Italy. Luisa de Angeli, the owner of this extra-elegant yarn shop, contacted me some time ago, asking for a pattern that would work with as many colorways as possible and that would look equally well in bold, striking colors as it would in …
...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 …
...is certainly fun but it is not always easy to capture the right mood from the right angle and communicate the "message"... Take Vap'oria Shawl, for example. It's true that it is named after a rather well-known spot in Syros, a Cyclades Island. I chose the name because I love the place and the colors …
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.

This pattern was "conceived" while I was watching a political debate on TV, so I named these socks accordingly. The openwork stitch pattern is easy to remember and results in a very elastic fabric, which gives the socks a perfect fit and makes this project beginner-friendly!

...to keep us knitting along during July, 2016! V’otsala is the Greek word for “sea pebbles” and I tried to capture the moment the sea caresses these pebbles… Yes, the yarn color was what inspired me in the first place, but so was the need for a light, ethereal shawl with a new shape and …
Stay tuned for more! The fun has just begun!
You know how it is...too many projects running, a test-knitting for the new pattern and already designing the next one, classes and research for future projects, housework and helping my 10+ year-old with the homework...pretty hectic, ha? Well, I can't complain... But then, I decided to go for a small "something for me" activity, a …
