Pistachio braids

A few weeks ago I bought a very pretty cotton yarn for my spring and summer creations. It is a Knit Picks Shine Sport (60/40 cotton and wood fiber). Amazingly soft yarn with a very slight silky touch. Usually I'm not a huge fan of cotton yarns because they are dry and even though it's soft - I don't like to hold it in my hands for a long time (I mean while knitting). But this blend was very comfortable for me and from now on it is in my favorite yarns list :)

So I bought a few balls of Pistachio colorway and a few of Serrano.

I decided to use a Pistachio first and I really want to make something with braids, not lacy. Probably I just got tired from all the lace projects lately.

So here is what I've got:

RCL #2 :)

And here is another one variant of Reversible Circles of Lace.
It is made with Wolle's Color Changing cotton as well in a lovely New Light colorway.
So good for summer :) Love it!

Reversible Circles of Lace

Hi!
I just want to show here a stole I finished few days ago.
This design is a Reversible Circles of Lace by Christina Consiglio
The pattern is great - very easy to follow and remember. It's a perfect knit project when you just need to keep your hands busy.

Spearmint Tea shawl - free pattern!

And another one shawl. Absolutely improvised - Spearmint Tea.

I used for it a lovely Wolle's Yarn Creations Color Changing Cotton in Spearmint II colorway and US 4 needles.

Crochet tunic

Hi!
A few days ago I understood that September is really close and that means that our vacation on the beach in Crimea pretty close too. :) and I want to have something nice to wear on the swimsuit.

So I decided to crochet a tunic. Well, it is pretty optimistic plan as I have about a month till our vacation and this project is not the only one at this time :)

I have a very nice yarn from Valley Yarns - CotLin 50% cotton, 50% linen. I like it so much and I think it's perfect for this project - the crochet fabric isn't warm, pretty light and airy.

The tunic consist of a square motives and here is what I have for now :) it is going not so fast with 1.5 mm hook :) Hope to finish it before middle of September :)

P.s.Oh, and you can follow me on Instagram to see the most fresh pictures of my WIP's. My username is kasi4ka out there :)

Crochet tablecloth

I just understood that I forgot to show you my new crochet tablecloth! What was I thinking about?!

I finished it about 3 weeks ago and it have been already in my shop for a while.
It is made of pretty thin mercerised cotton. This tablecloth (or a big doily?) is square and it's not really big: about 47 inches length.

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.

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.
