guess what, i've been sewing again! and i'm actually working with a real pattern this time! which is quite exceptional for me, i usually draw the pattern parts on the fabric (i'm lazy like that)... but i wanted to do it properly this time, and look! a pattern! cut out properly! pinned on the fabric!

can anyone guess what i'm making? ;) a small tip: half the country has been making and wearing these! i'm loving the result so far, i'm so in love with the minty green fabric... 

don't forget about the GIVE-AWAY, by the way! and enjoy halloween, if you're celebrating!

HIP HIP HOORAY!!! 

yesterday was my third blogiversary

 and i decided to celebrate this joyous occasion with a GIVE-AWAY!!! 

i thought it would be nice to give away three yarny gifts... so you can make a lovely pair of socks, handwarmers, maybe even a cowl or something... anything you fancy!

 the first gift contains 4 balls (50gr) of 100% alpaca yarn: Alpaka by Schachenmayr Nomotta. i used this yarn for the boyfriend scarf ! Also in this gift is a pair of the neon-beige handwarmers i made and a bunch of cute brown buttons.

gift number two contains one ball of Opal Grafitti sock yarn (100gr, 75% superwash wool and 25% polyamid), to make a nice pair of socks with, or, if you don't like socks, a colourful cowl/neckwarmer or a pair of gloves maybe... you decide! also in this gift: a lot of cute brown buttons.

and last, but not least, gift number three. this gift contains two balls of Alpaka Fashion (again by Schachenmayr Nomotta) in a pretty blue colour, kinda jeans-like. and again: buttons!

that's all! see you later!! :)

phew, these last weeks flew by without me even noticing it!

i managed to finish Himiko's socks - finally- and, i must admit, i had a hard time parting with them. :)  i only have a crappy late-night photo (before i packed them and sent them off). they were very well received, they fit her perfectly and she loves them, so i couldn't be happier.

and remember my post from last year?  they are collecting hats again for the innocent smoothies! i still have to sew the knitted hats together, but i made quite a few this week! 

besides that, i've also been unraveling one of my latest woolly finds. this is 100% pure wool, and i love the colour so much! it's a warm brown tint, with hints of orange and green in it... very pretty.

lots of things going on again, but that's the way i like it. what are you up to? :)
