Pinterest round up - crafty DIY favourites
I absolutely love Pinterest. People use it in all different kinds of ways, I mainly use it as a visual to do list and to collect beautiful pictures of beautiful stuff. The only problem is that my to do list is forever growing and I can't seem to find the time to actually do those lovely projects, but collect them... -
Mikono Knits at Knit with attitude
I first learned about Mikono Knits quite a few years ago. Back in Norway I was watching the News and there was this short story about a Norwegian woman, Frøydis Dybdahl Archer, who had initiated a project in Kenya teaching the skill of knitting and enabeling women to sell their garments, providing safe income for themselves and their families. At... -
Bloglovin
Just a short note to mention that I've been using Bloglovin for years now to keep track of my favourite blogs, and if you decide to follow this new blog it is a great way to get updated every time a new post is published. If you already follow the old blog, make sure to look for The World According... -
An ordinary Tuesday at work
I've been tidying today, sorting out the shelves in the shop. Everything tends to be tumbled around when people browse and when that happens you can't really see all the loveliness on the shelves. But now you can! I also received some new products today, I've been so excited about getting these that I've managed to get them up on... -
What to do next?
Are you like me? You race through your project with breeze, then when you reach 2/3 done, it suddenly starts to go real slowly, that project seems to never finish! You start planning new projects to sink your teeth in, mentally you are already done with your project, you have moved on. The question is, do you start on the... -

Still the same, but different
Those of you that have been following my blog (and my ventures) for a while know that the blog has been unusually quiet. I've had my thinking hat on and have been hibernating for a while. I just couldn't make up my mind on what should happen with the blog. I did think about closing it for good, but then... -
Come in, have a look...
Blog post originally from The world according to MayaB over at maya-b.com, published 22/11/2012 Phew... it’s done! The last few weeks have been nothing less than a triple marathon, at least, trying to get everything sorted and ready for our deadline, which we were determined to keep. And finally, we were able to invite to our... -
What's going on?
Blog post originally from The world according to MayaB over at maya-b.com, published 22/10/2012 Well, we scraped through layers of chipboard and paint to reveal the concrete walls in the back room. And we scraped the floor as well, removing really old and horrible tiled vinyl flooring. The floor was laid. The steps boxed. Shelves in... -
Blank canvas
Blog post originally from The world according to MayaB over at maya-b.com, published 11/10/2012 Ten months ago, my lovely friend Jessica and I came up with this great idea. Like me, Jessica runs her own business, Of Cabbages & Kings, and like me she had a tiny little shop. We were discussing how our small premises...

8thJanuary 2020What Maya Knits - Eifelgold Shawl
“I'm not a shawls person” is clearly a lie I've been telling myself forever. After making a humongous DK weight shawl a couple of years back (the Askews Me! by Stephen West) and having worn it constantly since then, maybe not through the worst summer heat wave ...

13thDecember 2019What George Knits - North Country Mitts
Taking inspiration from our Quick Christmas Knits blog post I just couldn't resit knitting the North Country Mitts by Andrea Mowry. A super quick but still interesting to knit pair of aran weight fingerless gloves. Knitting in just one 50g ball. Also it was a good excuse ...
