A new one wooven scarf for my autumn collection of gradient scarves!

Weaving: Ocean Dream

Hi!

So.. Here is what I have now! New hand woven scarf with gradient color change!

It was made with an amazing Socks That Rock that I show you here last time in a great Oceana colorway. I just love all about it: the drape, the color change, the weight of fabric (it has very nice feeling weight). Well... everything :)

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.

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 :)

Chevron Lace Stole Pattern

Hi!

So today is the DAY! I've created a designers account on Ravelry and post my first design here!

It is a Chevron Lace Stole that I've shown you a few days ago. I finally write down the pattern today :)

You can buy it from Ravelry for $4

All you will need to make this featherweight stole is:
 - 100g of lace yarn (orig: Jaggerspun Zephyr wool/silk)
 - US 2 1/5 needles (3mm)
 - 15g of seed bead (optional)

That's it!

I' would be happy if you'll find this design interesting enough to try it :) Though I'm actually pretty happy enough even now :)

Have a great week!

Chevron stole with beads

Hello there!

Yesterday I've finished a new one stole.
I was thinking about something easy - only one pattern through whole stole without any laced border or anything like that.

I've picked a Pointed Chevron pattern from A Second Treasury of Knitting Patterns by Barbara G. Walker.
I really like this pattern and I'm planning to use it a lot :)

Brown Alpine

Hi there!

Today I want to show you another one variant of Alpine scarf that I've finished yesterday

I've already knit this one before in turquoise color and now I don't know which one I like more :) The turquoise one is pretty bright so it can add some specific note to your look. At the same time this one - in brown shade - has more classical look as I think.

Mulberry Clap

Hi!

This Friday I've finished another one stole... I've already made one like this but this time I changed the needle size to smaller (3.5 mm) and of course it is made in another colour :)

So, it is an amazing Clapotis by Kate Gilbert.
I love this design so much... It's one of my favourite! It is simple but very elegant.

Here is some photos:

Silky vamp

Hi!

I wasn't sure should I post here or not... But after a few days I decided that it should be here too. But I warn you - I haven't made any great photos of this amazing shawl... Sorry for that.

I made this one shawl for a very bright and nice person. She likes bright red color and she lives in Florida. So I was looking for some bright red silk as it would be not too warm for that climate.
Unfortunately I didn't find anything like that anywhere :( Maybe I don't know a lot of places but I've searched on Etsy, on E-bay, google shopping, some on-line shops like WEBS.. Well, I've looked everywhere I know. Nothing.. Except one shop from Russia on Etsy :) They have a 100% mulberry silk in a good price and exactly the shade I was looking for - screaming red! So this yarn was going from Russia and it took almost 1.5 months %)
When it finally came to me I was so excited! Though I've never worked with 100% silk and seed beads before  - it was going pretty fast. I finished it in a week or so.
And here is a few photos.. Yes, those "not-so-great" photos.

On the... hook?

Hi!

A little sneak peak! I just can't seat and watch on it by myself for so long :) it is a pretty big project - I'm not going to tell what is it, but as for me - it's one of my huge projects :)

It is crocheted.. and it's almost done. Actually it could be done in a months ago. But I'm a knitter with a lot of WIP's all the time so I work on this one only when I've finished some new project and want to do something absolutely another.

I hope to finish it in a few days while I'm waiting for some supplies and there is nothing really interesting to do (knit or crochet) except of this one project :)
Stay tuned!

Kate
