Although I did lots of housework during the morning, taught a distance learning class in the early afternoon and did some knitting in my current wip, I just had the need to make something sweet as a treat to my family and so I opted for an easy jam of winter fruits. Note that this is a totally improvised recipe, although I bet you all have apples, oranges, lemons and carrots in the kitchen!
...and a strange one, too, I must add, this summer 2020 has been especially busy, as I found myself teaching until July 20, before I could take a few days off with my family. This has been a hard year, it still is, for all of us in every corner of this planet, but, as …
...my previous post and I don't know how many of you, knitters and friends out there, are still interested in reading my posts. It's totally my fault, of course, as I have been hibernating for quite some time, but it certainly wasn't intentional on my part. I will tell you all about it in a …

... 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. Knitting is a way of expression and colors communicate various mood changes. I found myself opting for these happy, bright yet quiet colors …

You may have noticed that I have been flirting with the "lace'n'garter" hashtag for quite some time; well, the more I use it the most confident I am about it. Although I have worked with various stitch patterns and techniques, in fact I have even designed brioche and/or mosaic and stranded colorwork items and will …
...coming up by the end of January is my first knitting pattern for 2019. Fika is a Swedish word which refers to " a coffee and cakes break" which should happen everyday and in the company of good friends and family. Can you think of a better start for a new year? As the holidays …
...has just begun! I hope you had a great time, both saying goodbye to 2018 and welcoming 2019. For me and my family it has been as it should be: cooking a nice, festive dinner and enjoying being well and being together with a glass of wine. At first, we had planned to go out …
...the custom is to sing The New Year's Carols to friends and family, wishing them a healthy, happy and prosperous year ahead. Protochronia (=The New Year's Day) is a very important day for us Greeks and we have many versions of New Years Carols to prove it! I want to wish you all the best …
