Black Shawl

Image
By

    Here's a  shawl I made last year, one for me this time! Lacy, soft and very comfy, suitable for occasions and not only! Rectangular shape, knitted on oversized needles. Another reversible super-easy pattern, I quickly saw it growing before my eyes! I will not fold it in three, make it into a hat and then a take a rabbit out of it! Not this time…:)) Just this:


Depending on what yarn-needles combo you find, try this pattern  *(YO, K2tog, K2)* or *(YO, K2tog)* – see which one suits you best! Happy knitting!... Ok, pattern below....


Cast on 40 sts.

Knit 1 row

Knit pattern row:
K1, (YO, K2tog) repeat between ( ) 19 times, K1✿

Repeat the pattern row until your shawl is at desired length. or until you (almost) finish the yarn you bought! Or until you get tired of knitting! Mine ended up being abt 2 metres and all the mentioned circumstances were met!

Knit 1 row.

Cast off loosely.

✿ for same type of yarn and same size needles; for other yarn/needles or width of shawl change as desired; It’s recommandable that you make a test first, cast on 10 stiches for that to get an idea about how many sts are required for the desired width.

Needle size: US 15 – UK 000 (10 mm)

Wrinkled Embroidered Floral Top

By
After coming back from my vacation I felt that my every day wardrobe needs refreshing. But from thinking to doing something about it - there's a long way! I had the floral fabric for a while now. Deciding about the design is always the hardest part. The premise was to make something simple but somehow that never happens:)) For years I just left these fabrics aside because I didn't get any inspiration for that simple design that is complicated enough to please me:))  I started working on this "tunic-like top" having something completely different in mind. Most of my designs imply asymmetry - that's not news anymore, is it?:)) That's what makes it click for me and I feel my best creations will always have an asymmetrical cut or detail. Other features of this top: a small cream bow on one shoulder, sleeves with ties and slits on each side. The treatment of the cream fabric is similar up to a point to what happens to my wrinkled ...

Swatches Tute

By
My Fabric Swatches Collection is so useful when I have to look for the same color of fabric, matching trims or matching threads! Here's how you can make one too! How to make this rose? Click HERE (stitch the hook on the back of the rose and at the other end make a thread loop like shown HERE ) (the sliding wooden/plastic bead makes it possible to put different swatches next to one another) Alright, any questions?? Here are a few shades I work with:

The Story Of The Exuberance Necklace

By
  Once upon a time... after the big bang anyways... there was a sketch of a top for which I wanted to use  contrasting colors. Or maybe I bought the fabrics and then made this sketch... in any case, mesmerized by these iridescent shades of purple and green I took 2 m of each - let's call them gred and purpink. But the flow of this silk cotton and the idea of my top didn't really get along or I lost enthusiasm somewhere along the way, anyways after some time I was left with 2 m in bits and pieces of purpink and of course gred. The contrast inspired me however to try something twisted both literally and figuratively- and it implied thick cotton fusible canvas and machine embroidery on the edge- which seemed like a tough task for my sewing machine from the very beginning but it wasn't enough for me to give up:D. In the virtual museum of the exuberance necklace this would be Exuberance Neanderthalensis ---------->   Each side was made out ...
