Done. Yesterday, first thing in the morning, I went into my boss’ office, and told her that I have received a job offer I would be stupid to refuse. Do you know what she said? – It might be better this way. – So, I’m over it. I told her that June 30 is the [...]

 Now, this is the perfect summer knitting. I can’t imagine how long would it take to make it in my size . But heck, summer will be next year too. The pattern can be found in Vogue Knitting Summer 2007. And the yarn is available at Elann.com. Think linen, cotton, and silk for summer knitting! [...]

Tomorrow I have to go to work again, and this time I need to decide if I want to stay for another 6 months or not. I made a list, with pros and contras on both sides. Turned out clearly that I do not want to stay for a minute, even if the future is [...]

Yeah. My husband often teases me, why I knit socks or sweaters in the summer. I don’t understand the question. Why on Earth not? First, it takes so much time to me, that I probably will not finish them until the winter anyway. Second, there are yarns for the summer. Yesssss. Ssssssssilk, for example. It [...]

Since I wrote about my favourites in the Summer IK, I have received it through my subscription. And I also received the Spring issue from Donna, who sent the GGH Samoa to me.  I have spent a few joyful hours looking through them. And both will keep me entertained for a long time. Gosh, there is [...]

Is GGH Samoa. What a wonderful yarn! It is a dream to knit with. Goes fast, and smooth. Wonderful hand, and soft to the touch. I’m nearly done with the back of my cardigan. Looks a bit small, but this is because of the dropped stitches. They keep the fabric shrinked. I guess blocking will help [...]

Have you seen the summer IK preview on IK’s website? http://www.interweaveknits.com/ A lot of colorwork, which is not for me – yet. But I like the green lace section, and I will add three of them to my queue: – Eyelet surplice dress (this only if I will loose enough weight to wear a dress) [...]

Here is a picture of my first attempt on dishclothes: the Mason-Dixon dishcloth. I have started this because I loved the pattern, and finished because I ran out of the yellow cotton. This one is to be frogged, but I have learned a new pattern, what I can use in a later design. And the [...]

As I promised (a few times), I show you some of my progress. First on the Caftan pullover: This is the back. Not blocked yet. I know, it is huge. If it is turning out totally bad, it will be a great tent for Sára. The front: I have already crocheted together the front panels [...]

If you thought that I’m fully organised now, that I’ve put away my neatly winded balls and cleverly organised project bags, you are WRONG. My needles are still in a tangled mess. Except the straights. They are bent. Something must be done with them. Again, Etsy. I have found some wonderful, clever needle organisers. You [...]
