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. [...]

Even more bags

Published by mityka under Bags, Crochet, Knitting

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 [...]

Bags, Bags, Bags.

Published by mityka under Knitting

On the WAMP I sold a beaded knitting bag, and I could have sell a lot more. So I decided to make a few knitting bags for the next one, instead of more bead crochet jewelry, I think I have enough of that stuff now.
I immediately started to search for inspiration on the net. Ooooooooh [...]

Tools of the trade 2

Published by mityka under Knitting Needles

On to the single pointed needles.
The variations are endless here are too.

Metallic: Could be any kind of metal. I even found them in silver in the internet. Now, that is absolutely useless. They should be lightweight, to be easy to work with. The weight of the yarn itself will make your wrist tired after [...]

Changing path

Published by mityka under Miscellaneous

Today I went to a job interview, which means I can start the course for the job on Monday, and they will pay me for 4 months, until I’m prepared to work. No secret, it is an insurance company. OK, I know. But I need something to do, and still have time for my own [...]

Still exhausted

Published by mityka under Crochet, Etsy, Miscellaneous

I need some time to get used to this selling-on-a-fair thing. On Sunday we woke up at 4:30 am, to get to Budapest in time. We got there well before it started, which was nice, so we had time to set up our booth. Do not think anything fancy though.

As you see, I don’t have [...]
