...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 …
...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 …
...more as a sketchbook than as a planner, but then, it IS meant to be used that way, too, isn't it? This is one of my favorite things, one of those ways to relax and just enjoy a few quiet moments in the company of my colored pencils... in case you wonder about i, well, …
...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!

...the release of the first clue of the Season's MKAL and I'm so happy for this new collaboration with an Indie Yarn Dyer from Italy: Betta calls her yarn "Le Tinte del Bosco", which refers to the way she treats yarn and the natural dyes she uses to create her palette. She told me she …
...is a real family treat and I managed to learn a lot about making and baking bread last summer, thanks to Craftsy and Zoë François!

...is a garter and lace shawl, what else? It's called "Season's MKAL" and it starts on December 13, 2018.Well, after all, it is the most wonderful time of the year or should I say the busiest one?

Sara Sol had this wonderful idea, to create special colorways for these “negative” emotions, these feelings we do our best to avoid. We know we can’t.

...of a finished knit can be a real adventure! No, it isn't easy and yes, it s exciting! I am trying to do justice to the knit, which is the important thing, to show off the details that make it unique, so the buyer of the pattern can really know if it is what they're …
... can be fun, if it is all about yarn! Well, I decided I must use my stash one way or another,which means I'll knit or crochet something or I'll just swap with my friends. The thing is a crafter's closet is not the most organised place in the world, if you know what I …
...crazy blankets! It's been a while since my last post, so a lot of knitting has been done and a lot of writing patterns, too! If you take the time to visit my Ravelry store, you will perhaps be interested enough to participate in the upcoming May Royal MKAL (this one deserves a whole post of …
