Talking about summer knitting

Published by mityka under Crochet, Knitting, Miscellaneous

 Now, this is the perfect summer knitting. I can’t imagine how long would it take to make it in my size :D. But heck, summer will be next year too.
The pattern can be found in Vogue Knitting Summer 2007. And the yarn is available at Elann.com.
Think linen, cotton, and silk for summer knitting!
And not only [...]

Two balls short

Published by mityka under Crochet

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 [...]

Skirts

Published by mityka under Crochet, Knitting

The word is that knitted skirts unflattering. I’m not sure. Probably because I have good experiences with knitted skirts. I had an A-line dark blue knitted skirt, made by my mom. It was a fine knitting, probably on 3,5-4mm needles, with a crocheted edging. It must have took her for ages to finish. I loved [...]

A sample of my work

Published by mityka under Crochet, Knitting, Miscellaneous

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:

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 [...]

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 [...]

Preparing for the big event

Published by mityka under Crochet, Knitting, Miscellaneous

I’m far more excited about this event on Sunday, than I was with my wedding.
No wonder. We got married when I was 7 months pregnant, and didn’t care too much for it. We just needed the paper, for administrative purposes. We have finished in the registry office in 5 minutes. But we enjoyed this 5 [...]

Going Professional

Published by mityka under Crochet, Knitting, Miscellaneous

YAY! I’ve received my final package from the wonderful Joan(http://bitsycreations.etsy.com) with my brand new avatars, logo, banner, and business card. Now I can go to WAMP with my full armoire.
The Easter holiday was spent with toooo much knitting instead of crocheting for the fair.
I wanted to finish the Jane crossover sweater from Perl Grey Studios, [...]

Why I don’t bother to do the dishes…

Published by mityka under Crochet, Knitting

Do you know the feeling when after a hard days of boring work, and dealing with that dragon called boss, you finally get home, kick off your shoes, throw yourself on the sofa, stretch out your legs, put them up on the nearest armchair, and just relax….
This is exactly how I feel when I log [...]
