soon

I can finally show you what I was up to lately.
These necklaces are handmade by me and are part of my project called "knots",
I will tell you more about it later on.
They will be on sale in my shop, next update will be the 21st of March.

branches

First signs of Spring.

(I feel a bit guilty I cut that little branch but I couldn't resist).

cables

I made it again, this time I deviated from the original pattern.
I stopped at 4 cables and used smaller knitting needles.
I made it more like a beanie rather than a slouchy.
It fits much better my head and it's pink.

Some changes are on their way but the plan is still foggy, 
that knot is involved somehow.

A little while ago I've got a sunshine award from amazing Renilde!
It seems a tradition that a sunshine award is given on gloomy days. 
So, here's mine in this cold and grey day 
(hey, after all these are the last kicks of winter).
Anyway...a quartz crystal should do :)

I pass this sunshine (or shall a say crystal ball) to:

work in progress

It's the first time that I write down a pattern. I always worked in an 
intuitive way with crochet and never jot it down on paper any of my projects, 
but I must admit that it feels good and right to do so even if it's taking ages.
It's quite Spring here today and the birds are singing really beautiful songs!

spring is in the air

As the weather is changing, 
the materials I work with change too.

today

I brought my pelargonium inside during 
the frosty days and look: it's blossoming!

vitamin C

Vitamins are what I need now.
I noticed that in February I long for yellow -orange stuff.
Carrot and sweet potato soup with sunflower and sesame seeds.
Rays of sun around the home.

Renilde made a micro weaved carpet for our dolls house 

Forget the snow, if you have the chance, go and visit the 
Tropical extravaganza

my new pillow

The black&brown smyrna pillow is arrived,
and now it's on our wall above the piano.
Thank you Renilde.

Our living room faces north and it gets very little sunshine, 
but is not dark just has a diffuse light all over.
In the late afternoon we see glimpses of sun on the walls.

Have a good weekend.

keep knitting (and don't complaint)

February started cold but sunny, outside a thin layer of ice cover everything.
It's -3C here today but this house is warm and I can't complaint.

New items in the shop soon.
