Just let me sleep

I should really be typing the handouts for my next lesson at Unfilodi on brioche knitting, but I am so sleepy that I write a sentence and have to stop because I feel faint. 

Il laboratorio su maglia inglese e maglia brioche si terrà sabato 17 dicembre, quind tra un paio di settimane, da Unfilodi di Carate Brianza. Il costo del laboratorio è di 20 euro e comprende lezione, filato e pranzo a buffet. Per ulteriori informazioni sul laboratorio vi rimando alla pagina relativa sul sito di Unfilodi.

Blocking time

Capelet to be blocked

Always one of the very best moments of knitting. Blocking is a magic of sorts, it turns a slightly odd piece of knitting into a proportioned item. (Ok, maybe this capelet needs e few more pins at the shoulder at the moment...)

Little Nubs

How comes that I have fallen in love with the look of something so utterly boring to knit as moss stitch?

Lace rocks

So, what's got this White Stripes song to do with lace? IMHO lots of things. Hear how the song starts: just the bass describing a sinous but rithmic line, then the drums intervene with a steady staccato beat and finally voice, guitar and a more complex drumming fill the space before going bak to bare essentials. Yet, everything lies over that initial bass line that sets the rhythm of everything, and everything else is built on it.

Since startitis wasn't enough

I also accepted a small design job for Laines du Nord. Tiny, actually...
