Can't you imagine a room without books? Are you also one of those people who, like us, when entering a flat you've never been in before, strides towards the bookshelves to take a look at them? And then spends the whole evening talking about this or that book and exchanging recommendations? And isn't it terrible, that you'll never have a chance to ( Read more... )

I had tons of fun with this pattern, especially since I listened to three Hercule Poirot audiobooks until I was finished, but I regret using cheap, used yarn. I should have used better merino or even alpaka and I'm sure the result would be just like I imagined; but alas, it got nicknamed "that weird creation of yours".

I have a lot of feelings about shawls. I own Victorian Lace Today just to look at the pictures - I'm a sucker for lace patterns, and shawls tend to satisfy this fetish. Buuuuuuut I'm not sure that I'd actually wear a real one because they seem to me rather complicated and prone to accidents. The Traveling Woman pattern is the ideal solution: it's ( Read more... )
