First birthday!

Hi everyone! I hope you are somewhere warm and safe, here we have a mini snow storm and it is really cold... The perfect weather to enjoy wome warm wool and a good podcast, if you ask me! (Especially when the children have decided they need to bake brownies). The only one who is not …

Wednesday works in progress

After a nice break back home, where snow and sun were much appreciated by the family, it is back to normal... This week, I finished my mohair cowl, so soft and comfy to wear, it was like knitting a cloud... I love it! I am planning to release the pattern very soon, on my ravelry …

Afmaeli Jumper

I did cast off my teen's jumper this week, and I am really pleased with the results. I started it in January (!) so... well... not a very fast knitting project but, hey, it's the result that count, no? It looks like a winter jumper but I knitted it in cotton (Drops Cotton Light) so …
