Sweater weather…
...is finally here! It is snowing today, yes, snowing! This is a rare phaenomenon here in Piraeus, I mean we live by the sea and Greece is a southern country after all, but, yes, today, we woke up to see snow falling and this is so wonderful! I am going to wear my very warm …
Did I write a week? Well, apparently…
...I meant a month or so later, but here I am again. Adjusting. At least, trying to adjust to a situation that I really wish had never come up. I'm sure you're all with me on this. Covid-19 has taken us all by surprise if not by terror. I am not going to bombard you …
It’s been a few months since…
...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 …

Day #31 – On New Year’s Eve…
...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 …
Day #29 – A year of patterns (Part B)
As I go through my 2018 self-published patterns, I feel so blessed that I am able to do what I love and to love what I do: knitting is a very solitary occupation, even when you are surrounded by knitters you are the one in charge of your project, it is the result of your …
Day #19 – My husband is really…
...a hard person to please, when it comes to gifts. I've been buying him gifts for years, so I should know; well, he likes books and music, but then I wanted to knit a sweater for him, oh no, no, no, this will be too hot. I've made him scarves, they are lying there in …
