Striped Sweater WIP: Front and Back Done
I’m still successfully knitting stripes! In my previous post about this sweater I showed you the finished back and half of the front. I took a break from knitting for a couple of days because the edge stitch kept slipping of the needle. I had to go back about four stripes, and I felt slightly…

Harvest
Late summer is really beautiful on our little roof terrace. I’m glad I planted a lot of flowers this year, it looked so pretty and cozy!

July Books 2023
I didn’t get much reading done in the past weeks because July was a busy month. Additionally, I didn’t like two of the three books I read, which explains my lack of motivation as well. I’m one of those people that needs to finish a book even if I hate it, which I realize is…
