FO :: my Big man’s sweater

Indeed…. I’ve finished off the garment half an hour ago….

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….

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!

Recently….

Hello,my dear friends!

My life is quite messy lately and I didn’t have much time to blog about my craft…. well,changes are occuring but my Christmas to do list is a bit shorter…. 🙂 and I have even found some time for me…. just because…. 🙂

First of all,a small sneak peek in my gift keeping box….

….then….

….working with some new colours….

…..looking like an alien….

…. all that to knit a beanie for one of my two brothers….. I’ll start to knit the beanie for the second one tomorrow in the morning….

….. I’ve started to knit the front side of my Big man’s rib stitch sweater…

…. and have tried out a crochet heart pattern found on this nice blog… and made of it a key ring for me….

The heart is not one of my best works and has to be improved but I like it…. and feel good wearing it….

That’s it for tonight!Sorry to be so quick but, except being tired,I’m off to watch one of my favourite TV series…. Wallander

….. yeah,I started to like Swedish crime stories sooooo much……

Wish you all a good night!

Learning….

Hello,my dear friends!

Today it was my blanket stitch first time 🙂 🙂 🙂 Well,I think that there’s no easier stitch than this one but I needed to follow a tutorial to understand how to do it…. 😛 …. and I knitted the second cup cozy for my friend on which I sewed my soft felt appliqués….

We have some troubles with our plumbing so I had the plumber at mine yesterday the whole day and this morning…. well,this morning,while he was working,I was having fun making the above cozy….. the colours are very manly (well, the heart shape appliqué is not so manly …. oh, it doesn’t matter so much….) and, if I understood it right, one cozy is for my friend and the other for her companion…. well,I hope that my interpretation will work (she made me choose colours and shapes….)…..

Have a great evening and day!!!

A cup cozy

Hello,my dears!

Just a super quick post to tell that,while resting with my Big man, I knitted a cup cozy for a friend of mine and about which I’m quite satisfied….. 🙂

I’m in love……..I really am….. the inspiration came from here and here you can find my Pinterest page so if you like to have a look…..

I’m going back to my rest now….. Happy Sunday to everyone!!!!

Long and dark evenings….

Hi again,my dear friends!

On Sunday in the early morning the clock change occured so now,unfortunately,we have to deal with a lot of sunless hours… and which is the best way to face this unhappy condition….. ? Playing with yarn,of course!!!!

…. so…… some time ago I’ve found a nice afghan pattern on Raverly…. This is going to be my personal afghan so,since it was and still is a restful day today, I crocheted the two first squares, just to understand its dimentions and to test the yarn quality…. well, here follows the result….

….well,I’ll be in a full crochet immersion only after finishing all my Christmas to do list,but I can already tell that this is going to be a nice romantic project…. I really do like the hard contrast between the dark grey and the pink and think that my solitary evenings will be more pleasant while crocheting my new afghan! 🙂 The one I made a year ago and wich was usually the background of my photos is with my Big man now …. 🙂 ❤

….I’ve started to knit the first of the two cup cozies for a friend of mine….

…. and I made a purchase…. today I bought the above acrylic yarn for my afghan from Katia (and ordered her the rest, something about 60 balls….. my Big man will kill me….. for sure….)  and I saw this on her stand…..

….just three balls of Red Heart’s acrylic yarn, a job lot… I do not know what I will knit with that but I’m sure that, at the right moment, an idea will come up to my mind….. I’ve already at mine a remanant of a sock yarn ball with the same shades and the socks I’ve knitted myself turned out rather good so…..

….I’ve made my evening more colourful despite the dark outside and the sore throat! Ecco!!!!
