Now, this is the perfect summer knitting. I can’t imagine how long would it take to make it in my size :D. 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!
And not only [...]

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 a [...]

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 so [...]

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 co-workers [...]

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 can put your [...]

Imagine about a 50 skeins and balls of yarn, different color, different fiber, all poured into a big basket.
Just in case I will find a new life for them. I was thinking some amigurumi toys. Or crocheting them into my daughter’s rug. Chili, my chihuahua was thinking different. The basket, full of fluffy yarn, was [...]

The spring cleaning bug hit me. Not that much that I have cleaned the windows, but enough to start to organise my projects.
I must confess, I’m not the tidy type. I only put things away when it is absolutely impossible to find anything. Now, that I reached that point again, I start from the top of [...]

I had a wonderful business from meowcraft from Etsy. http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5608076
She offers free worldwide shipping, which is a bonus for me. And I have bought a nice lot of purse handles, and purse frames from her. Great stuff! And yes, I’m going to knit a few little purses, and probably a nice big handbag. I’m trying [...]

I was on sick leave with Sára for a week, and guess what? I could manage to actually knit - a lot!!!
I was so tired and exhausted though, that I was sleeping whenever I could manage - got up late in the morning (9-10 am), and took an afternoon nap with Sára, and usually went [...]
