So, my dears - my July KnitCrate arrived!

The July Topic:

I opened it, and this time, I can't believe my eyes. Look at these colors! 

I was speechless :-) This time like KnitCrate read my mind.

As you can see alone - that match with my skirt ♥

And what a treasure I found:

My favorite Knitology exclusive hand dyed for KnitCrate in colorway School Zone. 

Worsted weight 

2 skeins of 100% Superwash Merino Wool, 180 yards in one skein, it means 360 yards in total.

Wow!

As always, there are two patterns included in this KnitCrate, 

a knitting pattern and a crochet pattern. 

C R O CH E T   P A T T E R N

Designer Laura Bail designed this funny and practical Yoga socks. It perfectly fits the July topic. 

K N I T T I N G   P A T T E R N

Designer Virginia Sattler-Reimer designed this colorful Beach Ball Cowl.
Both patterns are easy to follow and beginners friendly. 

 I can't resist and..

Made a ball and ..

Made the swatch of the lace stitch in the cowl pattern.

So pretty!

But do you know what? I guess, will combine it with another color. I would like to make a sweater for myself, using these colors. And I really hope that the result will be nice. What do you think? :-)

P.S.: My honey girl helped me with taking the pictures of a new KnitCrate

 ♥

This KnitCrate was made for me, really! :-) I like the texture of the yarn, and the colors are amazing! The retail value of this KnitCrate is 63 USD, 48 USD is for the yarn only - the yarn worth that price, 10 USD is for the patterns and 5 USD is the postage. BUT you will pay only 24.99 USD - and you will get 200 g of this amazing yarn, two patterns including postage. So that is a great price! The color is always surprising - but you know, what would be live without the fun? :-)

If you like that kit, pick your KnitCrate here now. The July kit is available at the end of the July! They have many types of subscription e.g. by the month (a one-time purchase), 3-months, or even a full years etc. The KnitCrate offers the sale for my followers and friends :-) Using this unique code: MAGIC20, you will get 20% Off the first month of your subscription. I love the sale codes! Thank you very much, KnitCrate!

Enjoy your summer!

Hi, my dears,

let's talk about the patchwork. I love it! I am wearing my patchwork summer dress all the time. They are really long and I look like I am the traveler in time from 80' :-). Well, I don't care - I love these dress and I feel like a fairy, wearing them. And what to wear to the patchwork dress? That is the question! :-)

Do you remember some of my patchwork bags? If not, I will remember you a few designs :-) I think, that some of them I never shared before and some are still hidden from the world - oh, mystery mood today - haha ...

. . . ♥ . . .

Are you searching some bag handles?

You can find the patterns of some of my bags here: www.vendulkam.etsy.com 

And it was the first one. 

My gently love bag. Made in October 2011 as my colorful therapy.... and me and my gypsy skirt. 

I hope you like my little trip to the past. 

  And do you know what? I am on the patchwork wave again...

I am working on the update of my gently love bag pattern - actually, I am just waiting for final testing, so my wonderful tester crocheter say the last words :-) and then I will share the pattern again. 

And I hope, I will add a new one soon! 

Thank you for reading, my dears!

Go! 

The first day of the holiday is here ♥

I know, that the holiday starts somewhere over the ocean already, but in our country today it is that day! So tell me, how are you enjoying your holiday and if it starts today in your country - what plans for the holiday do you have :-) ? 

Well, I have not many plans for traveling etc. Two weeks ago we were with Natalka in Croatia, where she took apart the European Championship majorettes sport. She got that bronze, anyway! :-) In the group formation in her category. I think, that majorettes - it is her sport - she looks so beautiful and natural by making these wonders with her baton! Oh, and I don't have to forget to tell you, that Nelinka is the Silver Czech Champion in the group formation in her category :-). We are so proud of both fairies ♥ and we are very happy, that they love, what they are doing ♥ 

But we are not planning any longer holiday, because our honey girl has some health issues... Last summer, we were afraid of Natynka's health and this summer about our honey girl's health... Well, still something. But we really hope that she will be alright  ♥. We are planning some small trips, so I hope, that it will be fun also. I think, that there is no need to have still some super exciting entertainment to be happy, am I right? 

Anyway - no school, no training for all month! We love that, but I think, that the fairies need some rest too. I really hope I will have a time for my blog and work and writing these patterns!! Last months I made really a lot of new designs, but the truth is, that I didn't write any single pattern for it. So, it looks, that I should bite that sour apple!

So with the end of the school year, I was busy as a bee. Every year we made some small presents for the teachers. I think, that we had luck and we met amazing teachers and my fairies really like them and it is happiness! So except for some flowers and something sweet to eat, I made some small gifts for them.

And I also finished some owls from the beginning of the post 

and custom orders for my beloved customers 

♥ Thank you ♥ 

And another will come! My hook is on the fireeeee! And I love that!

Hi, my dears,

if you are following my Instagram, you probably knew, that my KnitCrate came yet! 

And I promise to write my first impression soon, so here it is :-)

The June KnitCrate name is:

★  I C E    S C R E A M ★

I get this shade B A N A N A S 

Exclusive hand dyed yarn for KnitCrate

This time Gwen Stefani is singing in my head :-)

How my dears, how are you in the middle of the Spring? 

Everything is sooo colorful so I will calm down it a little bit and show you the May KnitCrate.

The topic:

Look at this wonderful color. One word - COOL!

What a little treasure is included in this kit:

 “La Brebis” by Marled Sock yarn, in the Gray Twist colorway,  fingering weight yarn

It is made of 40% Merino Wool, 40% Peruvian Highland Wool and 20% Nylon. 

There are 2 skeins of yarn - 437 Yds/ 400 m in 100g. It means 874 yards of yarn in total! 

There are two patterns included in this KnitCrate, a knitting pattern and a crochet pattern. 

So again - perfect idea for knitters and crocheters.

The knitting pattern is a simple shawl pattern called “Daxis” by designer Susanne Hogl. It is not clearly visible on the picture, but there are blocks of purl and knit squares on the shawl and it looks really cool :-) Just take a look and click on the link. 

The crochet pattern is called “Cabled Clutch” by designer Marie Segares. Oh yes, something different! It will be fun! And Marie also offers 50% off any of her patterns in her Ravelry store. That's great - thank you :-)! 

And do you know what? 

My KnitCrate came in the box again! I just love that!!! I am very happy with this kit :-)

My summary: 

That is a cool yarn! I love it! :-) Exclusive yarn for great value and two patterns - that's all for 24.99 USD including shipping!
