...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 …

Thanksgiving is not a "Greek" holiday, but I do like the thought of expressing gratitude and celebrating with friends and family. Being a member of this huge international community of knitters, yes, I am referring to …

Blocking…

... is my third favorite "step" towards finishing a prototype, casting on and binding off being the first two favorites, of course. Sometimes there is a long time interval between binding off and blocking, due to several reasons. This adds to the suspense and to the pleasure after blocking, as the element of surprise takes …

... I am getting ready for some serious autumn pattern releasing!

It's #cold but #sunny and it feels so much better when I start the day with a large cup of #strong #coffee and #warm #feet! Looking forward to a #creative week ahead! Happy #Monday to you all!
A sunny, improvised #breakfast #trifle to get me through a busy morning: layers of #greekyogurt and #muesli, topped with a generous spoonful of my #winterfruit #jam !
Last time it snowed in Piraeus, it was in 2008, yes, 13 years ago! Well, today we woke up to see this and have bit of much needed fun! ❄❄❄
How do you like my #winterfruit #jam ? I simply ❤ winter fruits, #oranges are my favourite and they make a great #combo with #apples #lemons and #carrots ! Yes, there is a carrot in there and it's #delicious.
What can you do when the #model is a timid #teenager who doesn't feel comfortable in front of a camera? Well, take a #sneakpic , of course! I think the #fauxseam can be actually seen, if you take the trouble to look for it! Well, I am happy to say that I will soon have it properly written, it has to be a really #sizeinclusive #pattern and I will need as many #testknitters as possible for this babe. I promise to keep you posted on dates and yarn requirements😉
Bittersweet #homemade #orangemarmalade on #toast for a late, Sunday #breakfast. I made the #marmalade yesterday, using #organic #oranges, so that I could include the orange #peel cut into thin pieces. This makes such a difference in taste and flavour! Hope you enjoy a peaceful, happy Sunday! 🍊🍊🍊

STRONGER TOGETHER

Let’s meet on
