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! [...]

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 [...]

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) [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Oh, yes. After a week off because of Sára being ill, she went to kindergarten – for one day. The next day she had itching spots all over her body. Chicken-pox. I was waiting for this to happen, but still, it was kind of a shock.  The good news are: – Sára has taking it easily. [...]

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 [...]
