While I’m also watching some good old-fashioned Netflix when I’m knitting or sewing something, I’ve really become to appreciate podcasts over the past years. In general – but also when I’m crafting! It’s a definite plus that I only have to listen to them. That means my visual focus is completely on my knitting or…

I had the fabric for this top cut out and ready to go for quite a while, but only came around to sewing it on a day this August when I was completely, blissfully alone. I know I sound like an asshole to some people when I say that I like being alone so let…

At over 30°C this is probably not the most the seasonal knitting work, but I wanted to finally finish it! It was supposed to be a gift for my mother for Christmas, but a wrist tendinitis threw a wrench in these plans for several months. Typing my PhD thesis kinda ruins my health, huh? Since…
