I'm really looking forward to 2019. I have some big plans for Yarns and can't wait to get stuck in. Here's a little sneak peek at what I'm dreaming up! See you in the new year!!
Knitting on the move this weekend. Tonight will be writing in the evening. Love the fluidity and flexibility of Yarns' work! Can't wait to see what else I get to work on over the next wee while. I've got big plans for the new year!! #flexibleworking #workonthego #onthego #writer #knitter #creator
Yarns came about from my love for knitting and for spinning a yarn (writing). I'm VERY active in both the knitting world and the writing world. Currently I'm knitting up a fish 'n' chip singlet to be donated to Kidz First Hospital. I'm thinking a cheeky silver fern might go nicely with this black yarn! #knit #yarn #knitting #knittersofinstagram #ravelry #creative #project
I was trying to find a photo of me knitting to share with you, but instead I stumbled across this golden moment of little Buddy and it was far too cute not to share! Happy Friday!! 😻 Lara x #happyfriday #socute #fluffy #lookatthatbelly
Feel so honoured I was able to write about this amazing showcase of @birgit_krippner's work with The New York Times. It's amazing to see Te Reo Māori get some space on the world stage. Love this! #kaituhituhi #writer #tereo #tereomāori #nz #newzealand #nzphotography #yarns #yarnsnz
