Hello peeps! It’s been a while since my last post, but life has been very busy around here and on top of that, I didn’t receive my stuff from Australia yet, so I’m still sewing machine-less.

Hello everyone and happy Sunday! Are you ready for another good dose of pink? Just warning you, because there is loads going on here. I might have exaggerated, but do you know what? I don’t care!

Happy hump day everybody! How is your week going? Mine has been pretty good so far.

That’s what I’ve used it for the first… Continue reading Ōshima Pullover

As you might have read in my latest posts, I’ve been on holiday up to the Northernmost point of mainland Australia, Cape York. It has been an awesome trip: the Cape York Peninsula is a truly amazing bit of this country, full of hidden treasures along rough tracks – gorges, fresh water falls, river crossings,… Continue reading Queensland
Audrey in Unst has been in my queue for quite a long time and finally I’ve knitted it! I don’t usually mix colors, unless it is requested by the pattern – like in fair isle for example – but I wanted to give this combo a try. I had a skein of Traveller marked as… Continue reading Audrey in Oz
Hello everybody! Few days ago I received my latest order from Cephalopod Yarns and I found myself thinking about the advantages of using the same yarn base very often.
