...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 …
...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 …
...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 …
...you get to purchase the pattern at an extra special price, right? Right! Its name means “gracious” and hopefully you can see why. It is light and airy; it is an extremely quick knit, which makes it the perfect project for a last-minute gift. The lace motif is so easy to memorize, you will be …
Hi, my name is Maria (aka #lacengarter_knits) and you can see me holding the only weapons I know I have to use to make my way into the huge, wide knitters’ community: needles and yarn. Although it may seem to some that I am the privileged, white-race, straight woman (and in a sense this is …
...a week earlier than I expected! I am so greateful that my wonderful group of test knitters completed the test so early (this also means it is a really quick knit, the perfect summer project). Tolerante is the second shawl pattern from the series The Peace Trilogy. Its name refers to tolerance, of cource; the …
...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 …
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 …
...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 …
...is the name of my next-to-be-released pattern. It is the hundredth pattern I 'll be publishing and, if things work properly, it will come live on December 26, the Boxing Day. The pattern will be free for download for a limited time period, so, make sure you read my daily posts here, to know all …
...favourite things and then I don't feel so bad! 1. Yarn ( oh no, really? again? oh, but take a look at these babes, well...ok) 2. The sea 3. The moments (to be continued...) Stay tuned!!!
...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!
