Hello everyone, and welcome to the first post of a new section in my blog.

Blogging mostly about knitting, crochet, and crafts can be challenging, because finishing a project or pattern is very time consuming. And although I am working every day, some times even weekends, to have things done, I can’t do it that fast, since the process includes the design, test the sample, edit the video, craft a blog post, oh and don’t forget the photoographs.

Which leaves me feeling that I am not posting with the frequency I would like to, and even when I know my limits, and I know I am busy every day, the feeling still lingers.

I want to be able to share something every week, or at least every other week, which is still better than about a post every month or so.

So I am borrowing an idea from many beauty/fashion youtubers that I follow, and is to share a favorites of the week!

These youtubers focus on beauty, fashion and makeup (whic I am obseesed with), and I love to find out about new products with their favorite of the week or favorites of the month, so I though why not borrow the idea, and share MY favorites.

Of course you will see a lot of yarn, needles and hooks, DIY and recipes. But I might add some other stuff too. I know that what unites us all is our love for knitting and crochet, but I think everyone can appreciate a good recipe recomendation, and even when I know that not everyone is interested in knowing what book I am reaing and would recommend, some of you will, and if only one benefits from a recomendation, then is worth to mention it.

Any way, let’s start this new series, and I hope you enjoy reading this post!

Recipes

I am getting ready for some Christmas baking, and this recipe is on my to-do-list. I found it on Pinterest here, but you can skip pinterest and find the Recipe Here.

Yarn

I recently created a new colorway for Pixie Dust Yarns. Is called Snow Queen and presents speckles of teal and purple. I love where the colors overlap, producing a deeper purple that only appears in very limited sections, making it extra special! If you want to see more, you can find it here: Snow Queen Yarn

DIY & Crafts

Just look at this adorable unicorn pencil can! And recicled none the less!! The blog post is written in German (I think), but with the photos and video tutorial, is ery easy to follow and figure it out. Also, don’t forget our good frien google translate. You can peek ath the Pin here, or go directly to the post here: Unicorn Pencil Storage

Subscribtion Box

I found this box in November and I subscribed right away!  I received my December box this morning, and I LOVE it! so much inside and for a great value!
Besides that I love that is not a monthly box, but intead is a seasonal box, with only 4 boxes a year. That’s right, only 4 boxes, one for Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. For me is just the right ammount, as I don’t need new stuff every month, but I like to have a surprise each season, and I love the idea of having items specially cureated for the season ahead. For my winter box I receved a big and cozy poncho, a ceramig mug, eye masks, hand cream (amazing for the drying winter), a neutral tone eyeshadow palete, cozy socks, a necklace, and even an exercice ball (amazing to lose all those pounds gained during the holidays, and with your subscribtion you get access of free workout videos, that use the exercise ball sent with your box!)
