...as we were the other day, I did not mention that apart from "knitting theme" podcasts, I also watch some other podcasts on YouTube and one in particular is a weekly "must" : Explore Your Enthusiasm with Tara Swiger. I have been following her for at least 3 years, I have bought her books and …

Day #13 – Let the MKAL…
...start!!! Yes, you can finally start the official MKAL knitting and, if you haven't, you can always sign up and start knitting, there is plenty of time for you to start working on that #mindlessknitting project! As you may know, a Holiday Season MKAL has become a happy habit for me; I know that knitters …

This is the pattern for …
... the Ultimate Stashbuster Shawl! Make space for new yarn goodies! Knit up these precious leftovers! Garter Stitch, a rather simple Slipped Stitch pattern and a modified Fishtail Lace motif (see? no hidden info here).

It is quiet and elegant as its name suggests and, although there is the element of surprise, I can assure you I did my …

Late summer days…
...well, I refuse to think of them as "early fall days" and I bet you would too, if you were in my shoes... It's still pretty hot and we just came back from our main summer holidays... It's been a busy, yet rather calm, summer with lots of knitting and sketching and planning, but today …
