It's been so long!
Much has happened since our last little chat. I got married, and our little boy was born.
While I was away, a lot of knitting gone done! Perennial pieces were made and new designs were born. My needles have certainly been busy!
I'm so happy to finally introduce you to the little heaven that we are creating. The garden has been a life-long dream of mine and after much prep work ( and lots of demolition!), we're finally able to start gardening! I'm so excited to bringing you along on this journey.

Knitting vlog: Early Autumn knitting, and trying a new-to-me unspun yarn (Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk)

    Congratulations on the marriage and on the birth of your son. I am also very fan from the Lord of the rings. Each year I rewatch it and I have read all the books. Very nice designs you have done ❤. My parents also have a garden full of trees, vegetables, fruits, lots of things to eat including some animals. I like it very much. I hope you also enjoy it very much.

    Hi Melody, so good to see you, it’s been a while😁 so much has happened, congratulations on your marriage and the birth of your son, did you say Eden? Sorry if I misheard. The garden is just an array of growth, but seeing we had similar weather, nothing but rain rain and more rain ☔️ 🌧️ it’s not surprising 😂 your patterns are just beautiful, I am so happy for you that all your dreams are coming to fruition. I myself would be really happy to see more of your garden and home stuff along with any crafty endeavours . I know it is difficult for you to speak to the camera, but you did so well today, looking forward to seeing you soon. Take care, Hugs, Suze. 🤗 x
