Goodbye 2014! Hello 2015!

Hi!

I still can not believe it is 2015 already! Happy New Year, guys!
This will be a very short post with only one pic - the collage with my projects from 2014. It's not all of them though, as I didn't take any pics of repeated projects.. But still - it's nice to see them all together.

Hope that 2015 will be as productive as 2014 was!

Mom's laced pullover

A few months ago my mom asked me to make her a laced pullover for spring and early summer. She already found some pattern in Russian knitting magazine and I just have to choose suitable yarn for this project.
I was hoping to find some blend with 1) cotton or 2) vicose (rayon) or 3) bamboo as these fibers are perfect for summer knitting.
I made three swatches and somehow the winner was Viscose/acrylic 60/40 blend - Mallorca from Ice Yarns. I have to say that I was pretty sure that Acrylic will make this yarn awful. But.... The yarn is really good and soft, nice to skin and pretty cold because of rayon (perfect for hot days). I like it so much that I also making myself a jacket with it :)

Some color beauty..

It is pretty dark outside last few days but I really want to show you these beautiful colors :) The photos aren't great... But this is the best I can do.

I bought these a few weeks ago and here they are - lovely juicy hanks of my favourite yarn (though on these photo they are already in cakes).

From left to right: Xmas Rock, Deer Woman and Crabby McHappypants. All of them are Socks That Rock from Blue Moon Fiber Arts.

Fell in love!

Hi!
I just have to show you this yarn!
About two weeks ago I've finally ordered a Socks That Rock yarn from Blue Moon Fiber Arts. I was going to buy it for a few months and finally  it's here :) Well, it was here two days ago now.
What can I say? I love almost all of their colorways! They are just awesome! But as I wasn't familiar with this yarn I decided to buy only two skeins to try it for some project.
And when recieved the package I was feeling so bad that I haven't ordered more... The thread is just perfectly twisted and feel so great!
Well, enough lyrics. Here it is :) Socks That Rock lightweight (100% superwash merino) 405 yds/5.5 oz.
