...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).

...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!

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.

... 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 …
