Not More than That

Sometimes life is just so simple. All you need is yeast, flour, water, and oil. Well, ok, an oven, too. And you get two loaves of wonderfully smelling, delicious, crumb-so-soft bread. Pure and simple. If it only could stay like this forever.
And on my needles: a sweater, sturdy and down-to-earth. Pattern will be following soon.

Summer has looked in

After so typically grey and rainy fall weather – bright sun-shiny day! More amazingly, I’ve managed to find a spot in the city center, that was not a building site (the whole city is just one giant building site in summer, usually).
When I look at this photo, a comment from another time, another life is coming back to me: Your pictures are very nice, but where are the people?

Fall Is Coming…

…carrying Chinese lanterns. I love the color of these plants. Papery and heart-shaped, they are the ultimate fall signals – perhaps because of their Halloween-y shade?

Waffle Hat

After lots of knitting and testing and pondering and pacing around the room, I’ve finally published a hat  pattern! Honestly, I could never imagine that designing just a simple hat could be so complicated! Or is it just me? Anyway, I’m immensely proud of myself and have been patting myself on the shoulder so much that it hurts already. Note to self: stop patting yourself on the shoulder and go do some knitting. It’s too late anyway for housework :)
It was an eerie feeling to see my own design done by other people. But boy, so lovely they are! The pattern is now available for free download on Ravelry and on Craftsy, and now it's available for download directly from my blog. Enjoy!
