Fair Isle hat

Hi!
Here is one of my newest project - a hat with scandinavian patterns in black and blue colors.
I've found some realy great yarn. The palette of available colors is incredible! I want them all! And I have a lot of different projects in my mind to make with it.

So, here is a hat that I made with this yarn. It is 100% Peruvian Highland Wool. It is soft and warm. It can be a great gift as you know -  winter is coming! And it is better to have something like this hat to warm you up!

Who wants some Merlot?:)

Hi!
I remembered that I haven't show you my new shawl. Yes, this one.
So, here it is - red laced shawl in entrelac technique.
It was made with a blend of merino wool and tencel in one of my favorite color - Merlot.

As always - it is light and featherweight, though it is less laced than others.
It is pretty big and cozy :)

Hooray!

Yes! I recieved it!
This spindle is looking soooo great! I can't wait to try it! But my fiber is still on it's way to me.. So for now I can only look on this gorgeous drop spindle from Spinerosity! Thank you, Kendra Diaz!
You can find her shop on Etsy here

WIP: What it will be? ;)

Hi!
I've decided to show you not only the finished works but also some of them in the process. I have some really sweet feelings to photos with unfinished projects. It looks so cute when there is a needles and a hank of yarn near some knitted fabric, and it looks not really like it will be in a future after all blockings and washing... It's like some magic maybe. I don't know why but photos of such knitting process are always makes me feel good.
So today I want to share with you such photos of my next shawl.
I'm not going to tell you what pattern is it, I'll just show you a few photos :)

 

A few recent Treasuries

Dew Drops shawl

Hi!
Yesterday I've add a new item in my shop - Dew Drops shawl. Here it is on Ravelry

I love this pattern for it's simplicity! And actually I saw a drops of water in it even before I noticed the name of this pattern. It's perfect as for me!
I made it with a Valley Yarns Colrain Lace in a turquoise color, but on photo it looks like more blue.

This shawl is absolutely light, almost like a feather. I think it can be a great accessory to some elegant dress. But also it can look perfect with casual outfit.

 

Two of my morning treasuries :)

Soft pink Clapotis

And one more shawl :) This is a great design of Kate Gilbert - Clapotis.
I love it for it simplicity but at the same time - amazing beauty.

Frozen Leaves

Hey there!
Today I want to tell about absolute best selling thing in my shop :)
For now actually I have already sold a few of this shawls. And three was ordered in a last five days :)
So now I don't even know how to make all of them in a two weeks %)
Here are some photos of this shawl in different colours. As I'm making it to order, so I have a possibility to try it in a different colour ways.
This shawl is made of blend of merino wool and tencel. And as you can see on photos it is pretty light and big!

Set of cotton coasters and doily

And while I'm here I think I should write about one more new item.
I just noticed a few days ago that I stop crochet somehow. All that I do is knitting. So I think my hands just was missing hook. And I decided to add some small crochet doily to my shop.
As it is Thanksgiving Day and Christmas soon, so I was looking for pattern that will add some cozy winter look to your house. And I choosed these coasters and a doily.

Get warm!

Hi guys!

I realy-realy was going to post these two cowls here for about a week! But I have no time at all :( Cause it's a little hard to write posts in blog with needles in arms :) But today I grabbed my coffee, open this blog and I will not took my needles in arms until I will post everything I should :)

So, about two new cowls. Here they are:

Let me tell a little about them.

And one more short story about new item in my shop.

A few days ago I also added a new item - Fair Isle mittens. It was my first work in this technique. I was so excited when I noticed that I can see the picture that should be on the mitten - it was incredible!
First one was going not so fast - about 1,5 day, but second one was finished in a day :)

They are made with 100% merino wool in dark and light blue colors and they'll fit women's size S hand.

Now when I finished it I want to do something in this technique again and again!

A big white piece of warm

Hi there!

A few days ago I finished white knitted scarf with cable across all lenght of the scarf.
I like it so much that I kind of sad that I live in California - it's not necessary here :)
This scarf made of baby soft 100% Acrylic yarn and it is quite light and airy, but at the same time it's warm and cozy.
This scarf is 7 inches wide and 75 inches long. A big piece of warm:)

Some ankle socks for you

Hi!

Today I want to step over the main theme of my shop - laced shawls - and show you my socks.

I decided to start knit socks only in August when I came from a vacation and saw that almost all knitters on Etsy was ready to autumn and some of them even to winter. So I decided that it can be good for me too, because I had a doubts that laced shawls will be popular in winter ;)

So I made two pairs of socks. For now. Actualy I made more pairs, but they were not so good, so I haven't decide yet what to do with them.

My first one laced shawl

Hi there!
Today I want to tell you about this shawl - Kiri.

It was my first big knitted project. At that time I was not actualy a knitter. All that I've knitted for that period was some socks and maybe some simplest scarf.
So when I saw these knitted laced shawls I was sure that I never-ever will be able to make such beautiful thing. So I was just looking at them in somebody's projects and was a jealous to that talent.

Crochet doily (bruges lace)

Hi!
I decided to start my posts from this doily.

Actualy, I don't remember when I started to crochet. I think I was about 10-12 years old. Interesting thing that any one of my family or friends can't crochet at all and I don't remember how I learned it. But I remember that when we had that "crochet lessons" at school I was already good in crochet and I was helping all my friends.
This doily I made this spring. I found that it has unusual form and geometric style so I can't pass it.

 

Oh, yes. It is a bruges lace - one of my favorite style of crochet lace ;) 

You can find this doily here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/74029512/crochet-doily

And a photos of one more doily made in brugges lace. I love-love-love this one!

 

That's it! :)
