So 2015 is here! And I have decided to try and post again on the blog, after a long hyatus, due to super business in the second part of 2014.
Plans would be to get back to CV, and also to keep posting a bit more.....
So be prepared to the usual knitting summary of last year soon.

Even though lately I've been too busy, there are always endless inspirations themes around me!!
Colors, smells, nature, weather, …. Oh, well, anything can be inspiring all around us.
Moreover, having to move house soon, I'm in search of inspiration for the new house furniture: any suggestions?

So, where has march gone? It simply slipped away, and brought with it all my ideas about blogging. I was indeed busy, and the busyness will extend also to the first half of April, when I will be traveling a lot (working).
Spring is here, but I'm heading north, to a more wintery atmosphere…..

So it is march, and I haven't done my usual summary of the knitting of last year! I cannot believe it, time is flying, it's march! And this knitting blog is really not very knitting any more. So here we go, 2013 was a good year!
I didn't manage to knit 12 shawls in a year, but I did 10, which was quite good, and they were all well received!
I made my first steeking, and I am pleased I did.gishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04415805582158291514noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3664788995010534558.post-60706819770361467682014-02-28T14:25:00.000+01:002014-02-28T14:25:01.713+01:00dreaming?

Last week was full of events, dramas, accomplishments, decisions, a really full life!
So on sunday there was much need of a break, of staying with good friends, and giving some origins to thoughts, leaving all those "difficult" things away for a day.
we visited friends, had a great lunch which, amongst other delicious things, involved home-made gnocchi

Slow is one of my favorite words, in its many meanings, especially number one shades are so appealing to me, as they imply savoring things.

I have been having problems with my eyes lately. It seems that I'm entering that part of life in which the near vision is compromised, and so I can no longer wear my glasses to read, I have to take them off, as my left eye sees badly with them on. I suspect I shall soon get new glasses in order to read…. hopefully not too soon ;-)

The Corner view theme this weeks suits me quite a lot: I love reading, and I had said I was going to make, now and then, a recapitulation of what I did in 2013, just to keep the memories. So it's not a dull list, but simply a way to … write down memories, which is partly what is about reading. If I may say….
2013 has been a very good reading year, with a grand total of 26 books read.

And so a new Corner View year starts! Happy new year to all readers and corner-viewers, it is great to find you all for another year….
"Light and darkness" seems the perfect theme for a new start, last year was full of shadows and happenings, and maybe now the time to harvest plenty of initiated and not terminated things has come? Let's walk towards it and see what happens…...

So it's that time again, a new year has started, and I think: "uh, oh, it's months I don't' update the blog. This year I'll be more caring for that blog, and I'll post more often". Well, let's see if this is going to be the case!
For sure in the next days I'll write about my 2013 accomplishments (at least knitting-wise), and maybe I'll say something about plans and dreams.

Apart from working A LOT I have at least also knitted quite a bit..... and managed to finish, amongst other things, my yearly Melbourne pullover!!
