... 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 …

...are in my mind these days, as I am trying to organize my schedule for 2018. After years of using various planners in order to "stick to the plan" of the week or the month ahead, I decided I am not that "organizeable" a person and I turned into a Bullet Journal to find the …

...is not a huge number, but it is a milestone when you are an independent knitwear designer, coming from a country barely traceable in the world map and trying to make a place among the thousands of remarkable designers who present their work on Ravelry!
