I apologize for the dearth of posts lately, between poor Happy and my day job things have been hella busy. That doesn’t mean there is no great creative going on though :) In a few weeks I’m leaving on a cruise with Tito and my parents for a week. It will be a much-needed unwinding…

Today I would like to provide the ultimate, irrefutable proof that I can bend time: In the middle of all this resin madness, I have an FO to share. I’m sure you’re all sick of hearing about resin ;) so here is my latest knitting adventure–the Jackson Square shawl by Beth Kling. I’ve knitted 2…

To Kris; if you’re reading my blog this morning, this one’s for you :) Black Puddin is created for my dear childhood friend Kris, who does not wear colour. Kris can be seen in black, off-black, grey-black, brown-black and very occasionally dark burgundy-black. This is Kris’s way of introducing variety into her wardrobe ;) So,…

I loved my TFA Colour Affection so much that I had to make another one – in colours that sing Shireen. Ocean and earth colours from 3 skeins of Viola Viola that I seem to recall having made, and discarded, other plans for, came together for this beloved new wardrobe staple of mine. This time…

My TFA Colour KAL project is finally finished, off the needles and I love it. I love it so much I’ve already cast on another one. The Pink Grapefruit turned out to be just the thing.
