A sample of my work
In a hidden folder of my computer at work, I have found some older pictures of my bead-crochet work, which I would love to share with you:
What do you think? These items are all sold, except the leopard patterned necklace, this was a gift to a relative. I had so much fun doing these pieces. Nowadays I just don’t feel the bead-crochet bug. I guess I need a little brake from this craft, and it will come back. This is why I shifted to knitting, and even if I crochet, I crochet bags instead of jewelry. I do not want to think I’m burn out on this subject. I know I still have a lot of ideas to make. It just takes a little time.
Spring is definitely here in Hungary, the trees are all green, and fresh. I love this time of the year. We decided to visit some friends and family this weekend, so not much of knitting or crochet for me, unless I do it in the car. I usually try, but knitting or reading in the car makes me dizzy or nauseated, so I have to stop from time to time. And usually I fall asleep from the tablets I take against nausea. Hah. 
And of course we take Chili, the dog with us, and she would not let you knit or sleep.
She loves travelling, and looking out of the window, but we have to protect her from jumping out of the closed window for a little pidgeon hunt.
Here is a picture of Sara and Chili, taken by a friend. Aren’t they just the cutest thing on Earth?
Yes, I’m two balls sort with the Caftan pullover. Never mind. I knew this is going to be my most expensive project ever, so two or three more balls will not matter. I’ve been searching the net for an economic solution, and I think I have found the best source on Ebay. With 5,40 per [...]
My first colorwork was the hat I have published here in one of my first posts, and ever since I keep thinking about making something coloured again. But this time something different. Fair Isle is something that requires more confidence than I’ve got so far.
And guess what I have found:
Yes. Amazing, isn’t it? It doesn’t [...]
I was going to write about celebrity knitting, but then I saw that there is a lot of articles in this topic. So I dropped the subject. The one I’m going to write about it now is animals in knitted/crochet gear. I know, there is a lot of articles about this too. But I still [...]
Now, if you have all kind of knitting needles (or at least a few of them), and wonder what to do with them, or how to use them at all, there are a lot of helpful sites, where you can learn knitting. From the basics, to the more advanced techniques, there are help for every [...]
Yesterday evening I immediately started a bag, which is actually a crochet bag, and it is in a bowling bag style. It is going to be smashing! No pictures yet, but I will add one when it is worth it, or you will be able to see a decent progress. I make it in brown [...]
I really love the black and white necklace - nice!
And Sara and Chili are adorable!!
