I've had this T-shirt sitting around half-knit for the past two years. I hit pause because I wanted to do a draped neckline instead of the pin-tucks, but that required planning and research – I've never done a draped neck before – and I never had time for that; or at least, the time I… Continue reading A waist is a terrible thing to mind
5 things 3.7.17
C has been properly signed up for Mittagstisch (lunchtime meal/childcare) on Tuesdays as of August. This is exciting for her and for me – M will be eating with a friend, and both kids have afternoon classes, so for the first time in EIGHT AND A HALF YEARS I can expect to have 8 hours… Continue reading 5 things 3.7.17
Best! Muffins! Ever!
I'm not bragging. That's just what my family says, and hey, in the interests of public service, I feel I should share this with you. I tweaked my favourite muffin recipe, Nigella's pear and ginger muffins (from Nigella Express), to use up some cherries, and I'd have to say it was one of my better ideas.… Continue reading Best! Muffins! Ever!
I’m back: 5 things 26.6.17
It's been four weeks without 5 things, and that's quite enough of that. I'm still not entirely sure of whether I can or should take the time for this every single week (time has really been exceeding scarce lately), but I missed it, and if I don't keep up the weekly habit there's a danger… Continue reading I’m back: 5 things 26.6.17

Tutorials, pattern releases, Q&As and such will stay on the other, more professional site. The 5 things posts will… Continue reading Maybe you can go home again
Summer vacation: 5 things 28.5.17
1. Tonsils are STILL the size of golf balls, and although they don't really hurt any more, they're certainly not comfortable. Nor am I feeling great generally. All very well having an excuse to slack off on housework but I'm kind of over this. Why must I always get so emphatically sick? Just a basic… Continue reading Summer vacation: 5 things 28.5.17
A week without tweeting: 5 things 22.5.17
1. That was hard. Man I missed Twitter. But a valuable exercise; I think I can see my way to cutting down without cutting off my poor nose. As it were. 2. Without Twitter I found myself looking for other ways to waste time online. (Oh hello, Pinterest! Fancy seeing you here!) Talk about pointless. So… Continue reading A week without tweeting: 5 things 22.5.17
