My friends,I need and advice from you about the neck hole…. at first I thought about knitting a turtleneck and add a zip…. but when I tried it on to see how it looks like I realized that even the small collar doesn’t look so bad…. what do you think,should I sew on the zip or I can leave the sweater as it is….

SAM_8088

Can’t wait to read your comments about ❤ ❤ ❤ and thank you so much in advance ❤ ❤ ❤

Sorry for the bad photos…. the light at mine is not the best one…. the colour of the yarn is a nice chocolate like brown which, in my opinion, is quite nice for a casual and easy outfit…. sorry that I wasn’t able to show it in a proper way…

Phew…. it’s done….. I can breath now…..

I wish you all a peaceful evening!

I need a break indeed…..

Hello,my fellow crafters and friends!

How are you?Are you in the middle of a crafting fever….? Me…. ? Sorry for being away for such a long while but…. well, this is how my kitchen table looks like lately……..

SAM_8028

…..the appropriate word is CHAOS ……… and it is obvious that I need a small break before starting the second sock for my Big man’s uncle….. uhm,and some sleep too…… but in the middle of this mess I was able to craft and wrap my first gift….. Last week I was in Lucera, the town where my Big man is working and where I bought these two balls of Schachenmayr‘s yarn… (of course, one of the first things to do was to find a good haberdashery there…. 🙂 ) ….

SAM_7997

….. and made a key ring for Katia….

SAM_8004

….. some yarn for a yarnaholic is required ….

SAM_8014

SAM_8016

….. well,sorry ,I’m not good in wrapping….. 😛

So….. I’m not quite fresh right now to write about the time spent in Apulia (sorry,too much knitting….. ) but here are some nice shots I’d like to show you, just to say how beautiful Italy is…. well,this country surprises me so very often….
