And what are you doing, my dears? My hook is on the fire now. I am finishing testing my little prince pattern. He is so patient with me and also you. Thank you ♥. And I get new yarn from Knitcrate. So, I am totally hooked right now. See my Insta, if you are curious about my progress :-)

Thank you for reading ♥

OK, I barely found my feet and the end of the first month of the new year is over. And what was it?

The first month of the new year is always fulfilled by the expectations more than the others. It is like to take a deep breath again, don't you think? 

And I was on my optimistic wave again, and my TO-DO list was really full.

Well, I had to change the plans - the universe stopped me again! :-) But yes, something on my list was done (note for February: write TO-DO list not so much optimistic :-) ). Do you love that feeling, when you mark something as DONE! :-) I love that! 

I was thinking about that I should finally clean up the Christmas embellishment. We are almost the only one in the street. And do you know what? The tulips on the garden are 2 inches above the ground! But I really love Christmas decoration.

I was a little bit sad from all that after Christmas cleaning up. But suddenly one of my nice customers called me, that she really needs my moose Bob as a gift and yesterday was late. And I heard a happy voice in my head - the Christmas is prolonged! :-) So, I created one quick Bob for her. And it had a lot of success. I am always sooooooooo happy to hear that! :-) So, I officially closed the Christmas in my mind with happiness. 

And what will be next? I took a quick look at my January list.

Oh yes, someone with the blond hair and brave in the heart is waiting for me :-) Still testing the Little prince pattern!

And in the meantime..... just make so owls. It is so long I designed some :-) You know me, I am addicted to owls :-)

So, I made just some cute quickie ...

When one is not enough... ♥

So, goodbye the January and welcome the February :-)

Hi my dears,

do you read the title? Yes, January KnitCrate came - tralalalala :-) Let's open it with me and take a look, what is hidden inside.

The topic of January KnitCrate is:

★ N A T U R E    S T U D Y ★

The colors are perfect. They looks like a foggy morning :-) That was my first though, when I saw them. The shades really suits to Januray from my point of view. I am always so suprise with the colors of the KnitCrates!

Take a closer look with me

The fibers are consists of 80% superwash wool and 20% nylon. Do you remember my November KnitCrate review? The yarns are really very similiar at the first touch.

You will get 400 yards / 100 grams per skein - it means 200 g of the yarn totally, for the total reatil value 63 USD, for amazing price 24,99 USD (two digital patterns included). This is the perfect deal!

Well, I really like the texture of this yarn. It is produced by Audine Wools and they are dyed exclusively for KnitCrate. The colors are gorgeous. I found two shades in my package: Dry Leaves and Breathless. They fit to each other and make intersting look together. 

Speaking about the designs, there are two patterns in this kit, one knitted and one crocheted. As always, very clever idea :-) 

Crochet designer Tian Connaughton designed beautiful Chasmanthe Shawl and offer also 15 % off at Tian's ravelry patterns store. It is very nice of you, thank you!

And second beautiful pattern is designed by knit designer Melinda Measor and it's name is Sunset. Both patterns are digital, you will get the code for downloading. So quick and no wasting of the paper - that's I like :-)

My summary 

Easy, easy - I like this kit. It perfectly fits to January mood. If you like it too, pick your KnitCrate here now, the January kit is available to the end of the January. They have many types of subscription e.g. by the month (a one-time purchase), 3-months, or even a full years etc. and with my unique code MAGIC20, you will get 20% Off the first month of your subscription. It sounds great, right? I need to say, that if you will subscribe to KnitCrate through my link, I will get some small commission.

But to tell you the true, I will reccommend it no matter of the commission :-). I like KnitCrate - whole concept. Every month it is so funny to open my kit and try the yarn, I would never ever have the chance to try. Because you know, there are so many yarns and the exclusive yarns and really expensive and KnitCrate has always prepared for us the super deal!

Thank you very much for reading, my dears :-)

Wouldn't be this shy owl perfect as Valentine's gift?

The pattern is ready if you are interested. You can find it HERE
or from the blog too 

And because you are often asking me for the yarn, I am using, I prepared the creative kit for making exactly this shy gently owl :-). You can buy it HERE in my small yarns shop. But if you would like to get other colors - I am here for all wishes - well, for most of all :-)

If I give you my heart, would it be safe? This is that question, right? Sometimes, we have to take all courage, give the heart to someone and believe, that it will be in safe place. And maybe we fail, and it will hurt, but what if we will not fail? What if it will last forever? Sometimes, we have to be brave ... ♥

Hi my dears,

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 ♥
