Hi my dears,

how are you in new year? I hope, that very well ! :-)

The new year started already, full of awaiting, resolutions, little fear maybe? But we have to be brave and fight with all what comes, right? :-) So I wish you again, you will be brave and live with the passion in love in your heart to others and to yourselves also ♥

As every January, I opened my diary and I am a little bit nostalgic :-) This year I opened wonderful Happy Planner I get from my beloved friend Katka. Thank you so much!

Speaking about the gifts. My new year started by the second Christmas :-) I get wonderful gifts from my friends Josie and Katka and Sarka. Thank you so so so much ♥ I was so surprised and moved and felt soooo spoiled. You are amazing, giiiiirls ♥ ♥ ♥

I will not be boasting so much, but I have to share with you my happiness, because only knitters or crocheters will understand.

Hi, my dears, 

are you trying new materials and new techniques in your work? Last year - there were puffs, well - I like them very much, they are really cool, but personally, for me, it is exhausting for my hands to work with t-shirt yarn, I only make the small baskets. And this year there is a  new trend - the huge blankets made from width yarn and arm knitting. 

My sister wanted the blanket/cover to the baby carriage for her new baby, so I decided, that I will try, what everybody sees on it :-)  I bought the yarn on E-bay. There are a lot of sellers who offer it. 

I bought 100% acrylic yarn, but lately, I noticed that they are also using 100% Merino Wool yarn, or the mixture of the wool and cashmere etc. Maybe next time I would buy Merino yarn or that mixture with cashmere to compare it. 

Anyway, as the cover, I think that acrylic yarn would be OK.

I was looking for some tutorial and this came to me accidentally, but I was very satisfied with it :-) You could take a look HERE. Thank you, Paty! No need to know any foreign language, you will see pretty clearly, what you have to do. 

My sweet honey supervisor with me again ♥

It was really funny and quick project. I really recommend it for beginners!

The dimension of the blanket I made was about 60 cm width and 80 cm long and I used about 720 g of yarn. Well, it was my first touch with this type of yarn and I am pretty sure, that not the last. 

Did you already try this yarn and this type of arm knitting? Just write me your notes and reflections :-) I would like to make the bigger blankets for my girls, useful notes would be perfect :-).

Lovely yarn in such a trendy color, just take look at color with me

This Peruvian Highland wool by La Brebis in the colorway Storm

It is natural wool of the raw fibers.

Just make a ball.

And I could choose from two cool patterns from the KnitCrate kit. I could choose if I will use the hook or needles. 

The knitting pattern was designed by Emily Johannes named the Tempest Hat

Crochet pattern was designed by Carla Brady named the Frost Flower Cowl

Both patterns are beginners friendly, written in standard US terms, available in digital form. There is the sale coupon 10% Off for my next purchase in Emily's Ravelry Store. Thank you very much! :-)

My summary:

Every time, I open the KnitCrate it is a surprise to me, so the December kit was also. Every yarn is different and also the pattern. The colorway of the yarn in the December KnitCrate is cool and trendy. You will get 200 g/120 yards of the yarn. It is pure, raw, natural colored yarn. Something special, right? It is quite expensive, so get 200 g of yarn and two patterns for 24.99 USD in total, that is fine. They have many types of subscription so you could pick your most favorite and with my unique code MAGIC20, you will get 20% Off the first month of your subscription. I don't know, if you too, but I like the sale codes :-)

I need to say, that if you will subscribe to KnitCrate through my link, I will get some small commission. December KnitCrate is available to the end of the December, so you have still the time to subscribe. 

OK, I have no other words to say, just: I am ready :-)

Thank you very much for reading, my dears! 

Happy Christmas time to youuuu :-)
