So long, Blogspot. Hello, Wordpress!

I've been wanting to move my blog away from Blogspot for a while but could never be bothered to actually do it. This week was the tipping point though, and I've now fully migrated over to  https://patsypoomakes.wordpress.com/ . The blogspot address will remain here but all new posts will only appear at  https://patsypoomakes.wordpress.com/ .  There are lots of reasons for the move but my biggest one is how hard Blogger has made it for people to subscribe to receive new posts via email. It's such a basic requirement but apparently, they think it's too much to offer.  I'm basing this purely on how I myself prefer to consume this stuff. I can't be arsed with feed readers anymore and emails are easy and convenient. When I receive one, if I fancy reading it, I will click through to it and, if not, I'll just delete it. Another reason is the spat between Google (owners of Blogger) and Instagram/Facebook/Meta. I don't even know if this is still the case anymore ...

{knitting} My Vianne Cardigan gets a debut in Siena!

I'm back again and today I have some knitting to show. More specifically, my  Vianne cardigan . I have to admit that the knitting was finished in September last year but it stayed buttonless until last month. Oops! I originally intended for this to be part of last year's OAL2015 (Outfit ALong), hosted by  Lauren  and  Andi Satterlund , but I went away a lot over the summer and it didn't pan out. Better late than never I guess and here she is now!

{sewing} Sew Over It Tulip Skirt in Florence!

Hi there! I'm back again and this time we're in Florence, Tuscany. We used Florence as a base and visited Pisa and Siena while we were there. It's one of those places that, no matter where you go, you will find something interesting to look at or do. I actually regret that we didn't spend more time there, so we'll have to go back and fix that. ;) Today I'm sharing my  Sew Over It Tulip Skirt , which I really love but I was having a terrible sewing day while I was making it. 

{sewing} My Pendrell Blouse in Venice!

Time to start sharing the stuff I made and took with me on our recent trip to Italy, also known as best holiday ever in the history of the world! Yeah, I did like it. Just a little bit. I'll try to keep it in order so first up, it's my  Pendrell blouse  in Venice!    

(sewing) Another Colette Hawthorn

Hello, again! It's been a while, I know. But that's because I thought I didn't have anything to show... As it turns out, I forgot to post this one that I made last year to take with me to Brasil last December! Yes, I'm rubbish. But my Hawthorn is gorgeous, look!
