A Knitter's Automnal Wishlist

I love new beginnings. The light gets softer, the leaves start changing to stunning subtle gold and orange colors, Autumn is here and a new season starts. Even though I'm not at school anymore, I always consider this time of the year as a new beginning. It's the time when I like to get a new planner, new supplies, get more organize and decluter. And it's even more the case this year, because our current living room has been completely reorganized, allowing me to work from there, and stash my messy creativity!

1. I like to keep track of my designs and personnal knitting projects in different diaries. Journaling is something that I have always enjoyed, and keeping physical memories is something that I'm passionate about. My design diary is very similar to this one.
2. I came across this very neat tutorial the other, and thought of giving it a try very soon.
3. This is the yarn that I'm currently obsessed with.
4. After coming back from the hospital with my half broken toe, I treated myself to my very first little box of løv organic tea. I'm not sure if they had this specific blend or not, but that's something that I would definitely want to try.
5. Have you heard about Twig and Horn? Beautiful aesthetic, gorgeous pictures. I run out of wooly soap, and I would very much like to give a try to their soap.

A knitter's natural Christmas wishlist

Skeins: O-Wool, Local in the Porcupine, Fringe Tree and Wild Geranium colorways | Book: Madder Anthology 1 | Candle: Big Deeper 100% bee wax candle | Acorn needle gauge | Jenna Rose project bag.

Christmas is not so far away anymore, so I thought it would be appropriate to share some of the things that are on my Christmas wishlist this year. And I think that these would make perfect gifts for knitters too.

I'm having a really hard time keeping my eyes away from these soft and delicate Local yarns colors. I don't know what I would knit with them, but I wouldn't mind keeping them preciously in my little stash.
This book. Well, it's not exactly on my wishlist anymore, because my dad has been teasing me the other day, telling me that the book that I have ordered will be under the Christmas tree.
Beewax candles. I'm obsessed with candles. I burn them everywhere, the whole day long. But what I love about bee wax candles is that they smell very nice, they don't contain nasty things (parafine), and they last forever.
Acorn gauge. This one is absolutely adorable. Not that I need another gauge but I could definitely hang this one on the wall.
Project bag. Jenna Rose has recently released her new collection, and I've been so thrilled. I absolutely love her work, and this bag is among my favourites.

What's on your wihslist this year?

A knitter's Autumn wishlist

Acorn knitting needles /Skein, Calico / Skein, Rye / Taproot mag, issue 10: MEND/ Pumpkin Spice Latte

Autumn has always been my favourite season. It's the time of the year when I want to have longer walks in the woods, gathering the last plants to press, mushrooming, and just enjoying the light and warmth. And this year is no exception. I want to try something very seasonal and new to me: acorn coffee.  It's the time of the year when I also want to spend more time indoors, looking at the trees though my windows, a cup of pumpkin spice latte between my hands and the smell of the soup cooking on the stove. It's the time of the year when I think of nothing else but knitting cosy sweaters and beautiful yarns, whilst reading an inspiring book.

What do you enjoy the most during this time of the year?

A knitter's Summer wishlist

I hope that you're enjoying your Summer. We're having such a blast in here, and all I want to do is to spend time outside. And I do! We reached 30°C last week, and the only kind of material that I could/ wanted to wear was linen and cotton. These simple linen dresses by Blue Naive are perfect for a long Summer day.
In the evening, I usually head out to the small park close to my home, and knit a few rows before sunset. I absolutely love knitting my Keynote cardigan outside, but merino wool is a bit hot between my hands sometimes. So I’m secretly dreaming of this and this. Aren’t the colours so pretty?
And this little pouch would make the most perfect project bag!
I recently started to forage for herbs outside, and found camomille and spearmint growing not far from a neighboor's garden. I love to make solar infusions on my windowsill and bring my beverage with me at the park in the evenings.

A knitter's natural wishlist

Here's what I have in mind these days.

1.I'm still dreaming of natural fibers, and these Kelbourne woolens, Road to China yarns are absolutely stunning. I wouldn't be able to choose among them. 2. This little basket is adorable, and I could easily use it for my stash or to carry my groceries at the farmers market. 3. Natural soap for woolies. 4&7. I like to keep a tiny piece of soap or a little pouch filled with dry thyme & lavander in my projects bags. It does not only make my wips smell fantastic but it also keeps clothes moth away. 5. Since I'm at my parents home, I'm constantly using their essential oils diffuser, I wish I could bring it back to Latvia with me. 6. More linen, yes!
