Elegance in Orange

To knit this shawlette was a wonderful challenge. The pattern demanded koncentration every single stitch every single row.

To drop a stitch in a pattern where each row is different... you can imagine how this can end.

My ability to focus just got even better by knitting Blyth.

Thanks!





DESIGNER Knitting

This knitting magazine is a true source of inspiration for every knitter.

Vogue Knitting or Designer Knitting which is the name of the European edition, is an american knitting magazine that was  published for the first time in 1932.

From the beginning the standards of quality, high-style high fashion were evident in the pages.

The interest in hand knitting has varied greatly since then and today it's greater than ever.

Filled with informative articles from the knitting world and trendy, classical and extravagant designs this magazine is a must-have for me.

This wrap skirt in wool is awesome.

This winter I want to be both warm and good-looking!



The Shawlette Blyth

It's a little challenge to knit this shawlette.

But a fun challenge!

I like the color, it really brings out the pattern.

Blyth, a special design!

Simple & Chic

The yarn package with pattern bought in Tokyo is now a nice little scarf.

So easy to make and so chic!

To follow crochet patterns written with symbols is easier than

patterns in text only. I simply found them simple and clear.

 Chain stitches, single crochet stitches and double crochet stitches and you get this check pattern.

More crocheted necklaces

My friends love their crocheted 'Avril' necklaces.

Since I had some leftover yarn I made a few more.

This one is made as described in black and white.

These solid color necklaces have only 1 chain stitch between the puff stitches.

 

Elegant & eccentric!
