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 [...]

Sára is ill, and I’m exhausted. She had high fever for a few days, and poor thing was quite miserable. Now she is better, but still can’t breath properly because of her full nose. I feel sorry for her, and I can’t sleep either. Today I was home with her, (my mother was looking after [...]

Now, this is the Origami sweater, shown by Kalani herserf. Gorgeous [...]

I have finally found the Janet crossover sweater’s pattern. I’m still not that happy…. I have the feeling that this one would not fit no matter how I will assembly. Anyway. I will give it a try, and if it doesn’t fit, I will sell it on the next WAMP. The next WAMP is actually [...]

The word is that knitted skirts unflattering. I’m not sure. Probably because I have good experiences with knitted skirts. I had an A-line dark blue knitted skirt, made by my mom. It was a fine knitting, probably on 3,5-4mm needles, with a crocheted edging. It must have took her for ages to finish. I loved [...]

My first colorwork was the hat I have published here in one of my first posts, and ever since I keep thinking about making something coloured again. But this time something different. Fair Isle is something that requires more confidence than I’ve got so far.
And guess what I have found:
Yes. Amazing, isn’t it? It doesn’t [...]

Recently I scored a few new patterns. Not that I’m in need of patterns, but you know how this works. I want to collect all the patterns and all the yarns to go with, and I pray that I will have time to knit them all before I die. Heh.
I have bought the Shocking! skirt [...]
