Happy Holidays and lots of love

New necklace

So far I’ve made a couple of necklaces, This will be the last one this year, I have plans to do a lot of jewelry next year, so many ideas and I´ve decided to realize all of them! Did I say that I was once, when I was studying, being making jewelry ...? This necklace I´ve made of skin, rope, metal elements and waxed cotton thread. It is 62 cm long. And... I don´t know what´s with me and skulls but I just looove them! How about you?

Have a nice weekend!

Neck warmer No 2

Time does indeed pass quickly around here these days. I've been really busy, knitting, knitting – crocheting, crocheting so I barely had time to go out. I've decided to finish all the projects I have started this year, so I can start with the new plans and projects after the holidays.

So I sat down yesterday and knitted this Neck warmer of the same wool I knitted a long scarf - warm wool blend yarn (50% Alpaca, 40% Wool, 10% Linen - Made in Peru). It is approx 45 cm wide and 114 cm in length, soft and cozy. As is the scarf, I think it also fits perfectly for guys .Don´t you think?

The neck warmer is in my shop now :)
Have a nice day!

Crocheted scarf & gloves

I bought this gorgeous wool last week, and thought I´d make a knitted scarf. 

 I tried it out and knitted a bit, but did not like how it looked - it felt completely wrong. Do you agree or am I way off here…?

Anyway, I decided to split it all and start from scratch again. I tried to crochet and the longer I crocheted, it felt more right! It was a little bit heavy with only this wool, so I mixed a little alpaca into it, and it was perfect.

This scarf is 212 cm in length, 25cm in width, wonderful, soft and cozy. As you can see it´s perfect fit for women, but I think it really suits guys too. Am I right?

With the same wool I have crocheted wrist warmers, they are soft, comfortable and warm.

They will be in my shop tommorow.
 Have a nice day!

Colors and Threads and a Happy Weekend

New hand knitted scarf

Last week I decided to buy some wool for my new projects and when I looked in the shop to choose the colors of wool that I´ve already decided to buy, this wool caught my attention 

 When I touched this and rub it against my face - I have a habit to always do this – it depends of what kind of feeling I have whether I´ll buy this or not - I felt such softness and comfort that I immediately decided to buy it!

I instantly knew that I’d make one of the softest and most beautiful scarves that I ever did. And this is the result:

The man of the house wanted to be a model, and yes, I made one for him too!
His conclusion: that being a model is a hard job :)

Have a nice evening!

PS. The scarf is in my shop now :)

 

Flea market, a party and one necklace was born

Trips to flea market have become a habit on Saturdays (actually not every Saturday, but very often). Sometimes I find something that I like, sometimes I don´t, but I always return home with a smile on my face.
I wonder why I do it, what changed in me, because before I wasn´t interested at all in the old stuff. I know that is a trend now, but I've never been someone who bites into trends; I'm not nostalgic by nature ... etc etc
And then I followed a bit myself reacting to things that are unconsciously "catchy" and discovered that these are things that remind me of my childhood, not people or situations! Did I say that I am not nostalgic.... No, at least not "knowingly" Haha ... In any case a good psychologist would have plenty of work :)
Now some things that I have found and a couple of photos from the last "second hand orgy"

This photo brought me to a FlickR group, Django's Grand Vinothek and now I am a proud member.

….which brings me back to my childhood, and memories began to well up... My dad's family had vineyards and dealt with, among other things, the production of wine. I liked that time when the grapes were picked, then everyone was smiling and happy – they were singing and a bit drunk - and us kids had a perfect opportunity to do what we want :) ah ...

Anyway, there was a party on Saturday, it was wonderful. Great people and really good food, a little sneak peek is following…

And I also managed to do some work, it was total chaos, but at least I was able to produce one necklace! I hope you like it!

Have a wonderful evening!
