No I am not going to hibernate any projects but I am going on vacation and have brought with me some yarn. (I added some skeins after taking the picture) So I can’t make any cast on posts on each project – because I am not sure what I will be able to knit [...]

I guess at least some of you still remember the veritable lace disaster, that came over the Blueberry Shawl I’m knitting for my mom. For me it meant, after a day futilely spent trying to safe the piece, that I ended up unraveling a halfway-knit shawl and about one and a half month of work. [...]

Last week I was on vacation. Hubby came down with a cold right at the start of the trip, so there was a lot of lazing about the condo rather than doing stuff. Needless to say, I relaxed on the couch with my pretty view and did quite a bit of knitting. Ribbons got much [...]
