south bay shawlette (1st: the blue)

This shawl holds a lot of "firsts" and that is why I love it very much:
- it is the first big garment I made (other than scarves and beanies),
- the first time I used the magnificent Katia darling yarn,
- my first attempt to read a charted crochet pattern,
- the first (of the three) south bay sawlettes that I made,
- the first delicate garment that I did put in the washing machine (and came out almost better that before!)

south bay shawlette (3rd: the automn)

I LOVE this unusual-and-interesting-compination-of-colors yarn, it seems as if it has been created for me!
I am making a crocheted shawl, the pattern is named South bay shawlette and the yarn is (fingering) "Katia darling".

filzy mittens

This project was frogged(*) because:

1. that beautiful yarn colours disappear when crocheted-this is a yarn that looks much better when knitted (as you can see here).
2. The yarn is an 100% merino --> needs not to be washed frequentry but, on the contrary, to be carefully handwashed --> not a good choise for a garment like mittens.

(*) frogging, in "knitting language" is the process of ripping out your knitting

terlikia

Such an easy pattern! Just knit a parallelogram and then sew to form behind the heel and the front.
I knitted both slippers at the same time-on the same needle!

Ondas Scarf

I made many more Ondas than Triana scarves!
I do prefer this "yarn" as it is very fluffy and come in very interesting colors.
(I made about 30-40 for presents, kept 2 for myself and still have some yarn stashed for a future use!).

Dina scarf

What is there to say about this scarf? Just a fancy yarn. You do not  have to do other than cast on 8 stitches on 8mm neddles and knit.
