I do not know why I don't have any problem knitting from international brands' yarn hanks, but when I have to knit from an Italian hank most times as soon as I start knitting the hank goes BOOOM!

Magic...

I love the magic of blocking. This swatch is knitted in Drops BabyAlpaca Silke on 4 mm needles and is both a test for a review of the yar and a swatch for a shawl I am developing.

I have a brand new knitting notebook

Just let me sleep

I should really be typing the handouts for my next lesson at Unfilodi on brioche knitting, but I am so sleepy that I write a sentence and have to stop because I feel faint.
