...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. Mouzakis' "Petalouda" -which is the Greek word for butterfly- has never disappointed me. So, there you are! Crisp …
... is a multi-colored thriagular shawl that will give you the chance to enjoy playing with color and work on a project that can be easily taken outdoors: in fact, I made sure both the increase rate and the eyelet pattern can be easily memorized. You will only have to look into the pattern instructions …
...so, I'm counting my blessings these days! Life has been full of choices, some tough ones, others less, but, in the end, I feel I'm lucky! Lucky for the love in my life, love from my family and friends, love from my fellow knitters! And, yes,it's been a wholesome year, plenty of sad and wonderful …
...of a finished knit can be a real adventure! No, it isn't easy and yes, it s exciting! I am trying to do justice to the knit, which is the important thing, to show off the details that make it unique, so the buyer of the pattern can really know if it is what they're …
... can be fun, if it is all about yarn! Well, I decided I must use my stash one way or another,which means I'll knit or crochet something or I'll just swap with my friends. The thing is a crafter's closet is not the most organised place in the world, if you know what I …
...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, …
