..... and during that snowing I finished updated version of my Flower cardigan pattern :-)

Oh, girls - I am so happy that you like my Flower cardigan design. Let me tell you some words about history of this pattern. It was one of my very first patterns I wrote. I made first version of this pattern in my native language in June 2010. Wow, the time is running so fast! The pattern was published in creativ magazine Practical women No 11/2010 also.

There are many many many different flower cardigans being made since that time. You could take a quick look here and see some creations. That all is work of the handy-ladies from Czech Republic and neighbours from Slovak Republic also.

In January 2012 I wrote english version of this pattern, but... because I have no practice how to write pattern for cardigan in english before, it is quite different writting and quite difficult for me then as in my native english -  it was wrote by confusing way a little bit. Everyone should have a practice, nobody is perfect! :-) So in July 2012 I wrote second version of the pattern. It was revised by native english speaker Norma (my big thanks Norma:-) ) , but althought I was tried hard and counted every stitch I made - I overlooked one stitch - and made mistake in yoke and .... OMG! I was so unhappy and frustrated about it ...  because of you, because I know, how frustrating could be the counting stitches again and again and unweaving the work again and again.. I am sorry for that.

Well, I wrote third and I really hope, that last version of this pattern :-) I am quite nervous about it.. It is revised, tested several times by me and friend of my Josie. I spent many time working on this pattern and re-counting the stitches - and I hope, that this time, it will be clear and no confusing and frustrating pattern finally. I hope that you will enjoy crocheting of this cardigan. It is described in detail in two sizes - for 3 and 5 years old child.

How I was making a TUTU skirt ? Oh, as I wrote in my latest contribution I found tutorial of no sewing TUTU skirt. This tutorial is great and making TUTU skirt with this tutorial is really easy.

I made some picture from process of my creating... I wanted to waist would be more confortable and I used  the rubber instead of the ribbon. I didn´t pull the pieces of tulle not strong to the rubber didn´t rolling up. But - I wasn´t succesful with this way, because it was still rolled up, when the skirt was wearing and it didn´t look nice.. so one time and better:-)

Then I crocheted one round of holes ( 1 DS, skip one stitch, 1 CH - repeat to the end of the round).

I pulled the tulle pieces through these holes and I tied up the knots.

Well, today I bought some tulle in wonderful colors and beads. And I found this great no - sewing TUTU skirt tutorial, Please keep me your fingers! See you soon:-)
