Head over to my shop to take a look to the new natural gemstones. They would make such a nice Christmas present to display under the Christmas tree!

Woodsy day
Have a lovely week-end. I'm about to spend my afternoon walking through pine trees, contemplating the gorgeous scenery, snap some pictures, and enjoy the snow. It really starts to smell like Christmas here.

Sweet December
in Knitting
The other day was pretty special and different from my daily routine. I spent the whole afternoon knitting, dreaming, writing and blogging in a lovely coffee shop. The time past by so quickly, that I even didn't notice that it was already dark outside (In this part of the world, the night comes as early as 4pm). Then I took the tram to reach the other side of Riga, to meet some new friends for my first Latvian knitting club.
We spent the evening talking about culture, knitting traditions and life. And it was absolutely fantastic. We gathered in a very old wooden house that Kristin was renting, and we sat and talked with a warm cup of ginger tea. These ladies were so skillfull! Two of them were knitting gorgeous icelandic sweaters/dresses, and they were both pretty confident with steeking (brrr)! I cannot wait to meet them again next week!
Project bag Jena Rose // Dress ℅ Joules // Snood Mandarine's // Knitting Praline
I'm still working on my Praline cardigan. And I got the body finished yesterday evening. I'm going to start knitting the sleeves today, and I'm pretty excited about it, even though it stresses me out a bit. Praline is my very first "big project" and I really want it to turn out beautifully.
I'm also going to start knitting my December hat for the Knit twelve hats in a year challenge. I already got the yarn, bought the pattern, but I'm still waiting for it to come...I hope that you're all having a lovely week!
A month in review |November|
Hello and welcome to my new space!
This month has been quite busy knitting wise, and I really hope that this will not change!
- I received some gorgeous yarn from Purple Laines to make my November hat / Also received yarn from De Rerum Natura to cast on Praline / Received my first skein from The Uncommon thread!
- I've been knitting like a crazy lady both for myself and for the Etsy shop.
- Spent quite a lot of time outside, taking pictures, walking around and foraging.
You might be wondering why I've suddenly decided to start blogging on a new platform. I've been always satisfied with wordpress, but I've realized lately that it started to become very complicated to access my blog. I don't know if you encountered the same issue, but it was almost impossible to load my pictures from previous posts anymore (all of them were hosted of my flickr account) and it became extremely annoying. I've tried many times to import all of my previous blog content, but couldn't manage to get all of my posts. Therefore, I took the difficult decision to start over. I will keep the previous blog online, and if you still want to explore it sometime, it will still be there. I will try my best to bring a bit my favourite posts here.
Hope that you like my new home!
