Today is my birthday. It’s been a long time since I have celebrated it, and the total of times that I did can be counted with the fingers of a hand. I dislike being the center of attention and I always prefer very small groups of… two rather than larger …

Testing for Andi again
Some time ago, Andi Satterlund showed us this gorgeous sweater which immediately caught my eye. Very recently she requested pattern testers for it and I didn’t mind that I needed to knit two baby cardigans, sew a hoodie for my niece or test a sewing pattern. I also didn’t mind that …
Borbo the Butterfly
This past Wednesday we went out for dinner to celebrate not only my friend Annalisa’s birthday by also the birthday of one of the guys from our capoeira class. He’s from the same region as me. We don’t talk a lot though since he’s quite younger than me but he’s …
Serenity is gone
Some time ago I discovered a pattern to knit Serenity. I left my browser tab open for a very long time. Anytime I had to restart my computer I restored my tabs just to get that tab with the PDF pattern in it again. Just a reminder to knit it …
A Sweater!
My niece Paula had tonsils removal surgery a couple of weeks ago. And you now, she’s been at home for some days completely spoiled. I saw her yesterday on Skype and she didn’t want to talk to me until I mentioned that it was a pity that she didn’t because …
I’m not a Fall girl
This Fall is being harder on me than I expected. Last Winter lasted terribly long, almost until the end of what should have been Spring. We almost believed Summer was not going to come, but it did, and it was very dry and hot as it’s always here. And suddenly …
Completed: Calimero
I don’t know if you remember an old TV show for kids called Calimero. I confess I didn’t watch this during my childhood since the first series was too early for me and the second too late (I was already a teenager with other things in mind). But when Elizabeth …
Testing again
Here I am testing again. This will be a very cozy knit for Autumn and Winter and I’m sure you’ll need more than one. Elizabeth Brassard designed something so simple and wonderful at the same time that I couldn’t resist testing for her. The pattern will be available very soon.
Completed: Miette Cardigan
I finished this cardigan on Saturday morning and went out to take pictures (yay! I finished the cardigan on time for the Miette KAL). Just don’t pay attention to the dark circles around my eyes. We didn’t go out on Friday evening, we’ve been just at home watching a couple …
Lucky!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsX5BkBsrMk If I’d ever decided to play the lottery, now it would be a good time; because I didn’t win one but two giveaways in one week. The first was organized by Telaria and this last one was organized by Teresa Gregorio aka Canary Knits. She’s already sent me the …
