Good morning, cables! :)

Hello.

Today I have day off when I can pay all my attention to knitting with my machine. Today I need to make one fast work - present to my god-daughter in birthday. This time I decided it will be leg warmers. The colours are chosen to be red, black and grey. I spent much time to find what pattern can I make on my simple knitting machine and then I crossed over Roberta Kelley channel on youtube. And again I found something interesting I can do. At least - I will try. :) So, I hope I will show you something after some while :)

Crocheted McQueen hat

Good evening!

Some time ago my collegue asked if I can make two crocheted hats for sons of her friend. I thought - piece of cake, I will do it. One of the hats she wanted McQueen hats. After spending some time on internet and looking for ideas I didn't found anything what fit to my order - light hat with croheted McQueen. Most of the McQueen hats are red with eyes. This time I needed separated detail to sew on the hat. So, after some attempts here is the result I did.
Soon I will make the pattern and every interested person will be able to make it on its own.

Getting ready to meet autumn 2013 :)

Ahoy!

The hot summer is comming to its end and I feel autumn comming closer. From one side it makes me sad because this summer was the best summer ever and its over but from other side it makes me happy because it inspires me to refresh and replenish warm autumn wardrobe with new warm, beautiful and useful things. This time my inspiration was woken up with like a rush by friend of my husband. We started to chat and he said he never saw a knitting machine and he was surprised I have one. So I drug out it to show him. And he became first client this autumn season who ordered pile of knitted socks for guests what will be used in place of slippers for guests and also white fluffy jumper. So I was forced to try to use again my old knitting machine and refresh my little knowledges and skills.
I guess many of friends will get this as a present till my inspiration fairy will take a rest again for some time :)
So, here is result of one day training.




So, thanks for reading! 

I have already autumn hats in my plans, so check information, leave comments and vote :)

Getting ready for autumn 2013,

Trousseau

Welcome!

Here I would like to show you a part of my needleworks I have done.

As first goes hats - owlhats made in different way. 
These are the most popular what I make for others. 
And no wonder - they are very cute and fits to babies! 
Good present :)




As a second I will show you other hats I have made :) 
These were made for myself and some friends.




As the next one goes one of my absolute favourite - french triangle :) why french? I don't know - just my assotiations :D  I saw the motive in one journal for sweaters and decided to try it on hat! And the result looks interesting!


As the last I would like to show other projects. Here is Baby booties for boy, also for a girl. Absolute baby fashion - cocoon and also the only crochet necklace I have made in my life.







So, that's it for this time. Hope to do new things and share them with you soon.

How to plan a sweater that fits! :)

Hello crocheters and knitters!

I have chosen first record for my blog in english chapter.

Every knitter or crocheter should know situation when finished sweater/cardigan does not fit! At least I know this situation very well! :) The reason of it for me was that I did not precisely follow patterns and liked to do many things on my own. Sometimes I do it even today :) So. Today I would like to share book from wonderful Cheryl Brunette what gives information what answers question of this topic. 

Book is awailable in english in this site and gives information how to calculate different
styles of pattern for any person you need.

Hope this information was useful for you!
Wish you successful sweater knitting. Share and comment results :)

Sincerely yours,
MarkusStyle / Iveta
