The progress

Published by mityka under Miscellaneous

As I promised (a few times), I show you some of my progress. First on the Caftan pullover:
This is the back. Not blocked yet. I know, it is huge. If it is turning out totally bad, it will be a great tent for Sára.
The front: I have already crocheted together the front panels with the [...]

Hahh, the purses!

Published by mityka under Bags, Etsy, Knitting, Miscellaneous, Work

I had a wonderful business from meowcraft from Etsy. http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5608076
She offers free worldwide shipping, which is a bonus for me. And I have bought a nice lot of purse handles, and purse frames from her. Great stuff! And yes, I’m going to knit a few little purses, and probably a nice big handbag. I’m trying [...]

After a week off

Published by mityka under Knitting, Miscellaneous

I was on sick leave with Sára for a week, and guess what? I could manage to actually knit - a lot!!!

Colorwork

Published by mityka under Knitting, Miscellaneous

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 [...]

On to the list

Published by mityka under Etsy, Knitting

Yesterday I was too excited to continue posting, now I’m trying to finish my list.

So, the Book and more swap: I’ve received my package, and I’ve ordered a book through Etsy. This long weekend I will look for a nice yarn to send it out to my partner.
Random Act of Kindness group: I’m expecting a few box [...]

The call

Published by mityka under Knitting, Work

I just couldn’t help it again. That thing called. The thing called The Caftan Pullover. I have so many things to do and finish before I should even thinking about touching anything else, but…. you know how these things work. It is like when the Chocolate calls your name in the supermarket. You just happily turn your [...]

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 [...]
