January 2013

I have been very busy at work, so when I come back from work I am sometimes too tired to do any craft. However, I have managed to crochet few things.

As you can see both models have been made with the same yarn. The reason being , I have developed a taste for sock yarn!

I made more things but I can't post them yet because they are surprises.

2013

With a new year come new year's resolutions. I am not going to be original here and the following list proves it.
New Year's resolutions:
- Write on this blog more regularly.
- Post more photos of my finished  non-secret-projects.

Well two is not bad this way I might have a chance to keep them!

I would like to wish the readers of this blog all the best for 2013.

Very long time...

OMG I can't believe I have not written anything since August. I have to say that life got in the way but I did not stay inactive.
While on sick leave, I taught myself how to knit socks and I have to admit that I am completely hooked. I have not knitted many pairs (only four) but it gave me the opportunity to explore new (for me anyway) knitting techniques. I find Continental knitting very practical and I am not giving up on the fact that it might help me to improve my speed.

I have also won a contest, which was a part of a swap, with this bookmark:

The prize is yarn. I am glad because it is the first time I win something.








With knitting socks come the sock yarn and I like knitting and crocheting with this yarn. I am making hats and headbands and I am planning to use it for other items.

Well that is it for the moment, I just hope that I will be more regular with keeping up this blog.

long time

I have not posted anything in a long time. I have plenty of work in progress: crocheted scarf, inkle weaving... the problem is that I don't have enough time. Life seems to come in the way. No photo for the moment; maybe in the next post.

First sale...

This is a pendant that I made for a birthday present. It is for the girlfriend of a colleague of mine. I have not been paid yet but it will happen.
I had great fun making this and it is the main thing. I don't know what the stone is. there are some seed beads and some facets beads too.

Wire Wrapping Pendants

Wire wrapping is the technique that I learned while I was in the States at the beginning of June. I was taught by Wendy the Wire Wizard! I know I have a lot to learn but I am happy with the results so far. It has not always been the case...

I will try to post more pictures later on.
I had not realized it till the picture was taken but the moonstone on the right looks like a skull!

Friendship bracelets

I had not made friendship bracelets in a while. I am so glad to see that they are back into fashion. Here are a few, some of them might no be really nice but I needed the practice!!!
