I do still knit things other than charity scarves, you know? Not much, but I do. To prove that, here are my two WIPs at the moment: a pair of hotpants and a skirt.

I have another Ysolda design FO which I actually finished a long time ago. Sometimes the taking pictures part takes longer than the knitting, don't you agree?

Oops, look how far June is already! Time for the Designer of the Month post. This time I interviewed the talented Alexis Winslow, who lives in Brooklyn, NY and works as a printed textile designer for children's bedding. You can catch up with her on her blog, knitdarling.com, where she writes, and video blogs about all her knitting adventures.

Last weekend (a long weekend due to Whit Monday) me and Nick went to Brussels for a little city getaway. It was brilliant! We got there on Saturday, the first WWKIP day this year, and the Brussels Stitch and Bitchers had organized a cool flashmob-type event on Grand Place, the main square in Brussels: a yarn fight!

The simple guide to a minimalist life

I while back I did a review on Everett Bogue's The art of being minimalist ebook - and a few weeks later he took the book off the market! I hope that doesn't happen this time around, too!

 

Today I am going to review a 105-page ebook by Leo Babauta called A Simple Guide to a Minimalist Life.
