Magic with hook and needles

Not only Christmas placemats

By Vendulka - December 23, 2019

Hi, my dears,

So the advent time is here. It should be a time of clam down, contemplation, and preparing for Christmas. Well, to be honest, it didn't look like and calm advent time in our home. I am so busy with my job, or let's better say jobs, but you know. The work helps me right now because when I am working, I can not be so sad and paralyzed because of my honey girl. I still miss her so much, with every piece of my soul. Sooooo my hook is on fire, but I am not working on nothing new - I am finally finishing my WIP's projects, yes! Because I have so many projects in the drawer. The battle with procrastination! I will not let it to January, I have already started yet. So, the first of my WIP's is something quick and easy for our kitchen table.

Crochet placemats - free crochet pattern by VendulkaM

Yes, I am talking about these placemats. These could be a great and quick present for your beloved ones or for yourself. Just before Christmas, I added a holly flower brooch. It is a brooch, so I will easily remove it after Christmas, and I will get a casual and pure design for our kitchen table.

Would you like to crochet them too? You can start right now!

I have already written a pattern for you.

Yeah, Chrismas is here!

So, if you wish, follow me. ♥

KnitCrate

Smooth like a caramel

By Vendulka - November 22, 2019

Hi, my dears,

the November KnitCrate came, and the yarn is like caramel. That was my first thought when I first saw it.

The name of this KnitCrate is

★ B E N E A T H T H E W A V E S ★

Take a closer look, what type of yarn is hidden in November's KnitCrate.

Knitologie Glowing Worsted

I get colorway: Shoreline (all natural)

40% Superwash Merino 30% Silk and 30% Alpaca yarn

2 skeins for 100 g. It means 300 yards of this treasury in total.

I really love that color and the texture of this yarn. I am pretty sure you remember this yarn from July KnitCrate, I wrote in one of my previous posts about. I can combine both these colors and make the bigger projects because I didn't use the yarn form July's KnitCrate yet. I guess it would look lovely together.

As always, you can find beautiful patterns in this Knitcrate. You can use a crochet hook or knitting needle. It all depends on your mood. You can knit a hat or cute mitts, designed by Vanesa Ewing or crochet Antidunes Cowl by Katya Novikova.

Expect of the yarn, you will also get a lovely gift. This time a sweet-scented tea for the perfect time with the hook or needles in your hands.

My summary:

I love this yarn very much. This yarn is fantastic, as I wrote before in July. If you like this kit too, pick your KnitCrate here now, the November kit is available to the end of the November. They have many types of subscription, e.g., by the month (a one-time purchase), 3-months, or even a full year, etc. and if you use this code: MAGIC20, you will get 20% Off the first month of your subscription. It sounds great, right? I need to say that if you subscribe to KnitCrate through my link, I will get some small commission.

Thank you for the reading, my dears!

life

She

By Vendulka - October 28, 2019

Her name is Sunny - A´Melilla Sunny of Silamja

She was the daughter of the most beautiful Rhodesian ridgebacks I have ever seen. A white lady Amalka aka Ambra z Roudnicka and the best of the best Ascot Alta Mirano.

Amalka of Silamja - Sunny's mom

And she was really like her mother - a real lady

She was a sister of MultiCh.A´Kenya Jayne of Silamja aka Honzina, which was the most successful bitch at the exhibitions in history as I know.

She was a mommy of amazing puppies ♥ Who are by their loving families now. Thank you very much, you love and take care of our sweet babies.

She was my Birthday's wish for thirty. She had a mark of white heart on her belly. Thank you so much, my dear Silvinka, you choose us to be family of this crazy baby girl. When our second fairy was born, she got the milk, like she was a mommy. We enjoyed so much fun together. She was so sweet.

We were still together because I was working from home. She was my supervisor, my shadow, my best friend.

She was the only one, who saw me broken in all "beauty" of madness and her love saved me. She was calm and crazy at the same time, like me. We were dancing, laughing and crying together. She was an amazing girl - my honey princess. For most people, she was just a dog. But not for me. For me, she was the anchor, my soulmate. She was here for me and I was here for her.

She was also the true friend of our two fairies.

♥

Every time, she had wondered me, how brave she is - when she gave birth to her amazing puppies or when she had the heavy injuries or when we walked together and she protected me against the world.

Or when she was fighting with cancer. That picture was a gift from my true friend and very talented artist Katka and I am very thankful for this. She loved the dandelions. She was my dandelions hunter :-) She was wearing a funny t-shirt, recovering after heavy surgery in June.

Yes, she was a real fighter. She was so patient when I nursed her. She almost killed that beast. Almost. She passed away in a few seconds, at home, so calm, so reconciled..... just like she was only sleeping - my sleeping beauty. This went so quick. I didn't catch to tell her goodbye. But I am happy for her, she didn't suffer. Most of the time, I am trying to work, like a robot, because it is the only time when I can forget, that she is not here anymore.

So now she is just sleeping in the place where is no cancer, no pain - just peace and some gummies, she loved these. I am so thankful for she was in my life. She still is.

So much thankful for that. I can't even tell, how much I love her and how much I miss her.

Thank you for everything, my sweet honey princess. I love you, we all ♥

In a memory of A'Melilla Sunny of Silamja

KnitCrate

Smoothness

By Vendulka - July 21, 2019

Hi, my dears,

so I opened the July's KnitCrate and this was the first though, I get into my mind. Christmas came in the middle of the summer :-).

The name of July's KnitCrate is

★ C O L O R S O F W O N D E R ★

Don't you think that it looks fancy, like at Christmas? Glittering and glimmering. So I opened the July's KnitCrate and this was the first though, I get into my mind.

I would wish you can touch this yarn. It is so smooth and pleasant.

What type of yarn is hidden in July's KnitCrate?

Knitologie Glowing Worsted

I get colorway: Flying Trapeze

It is a mixture of 40% Superwash Merino, 30% Silk and 30% Baby Alpaca.

I get 2 skeins. One for 100 g. It means 300 yards of this treasury in total.

As always, you will find the patterns for crocheting and knitting. The patterns are ready to download too. So you will never lose them. You can knit the "Ringleader hand warmers" designed by Hannah Thiessen or crochet "Risley cowl" designed by Katie Clary.

The sock member will find the amazing Knitologie Sparkling Sock yarn and two amazing patterns.

This stitch marker is adorable, don't you think? It is always so sweet to find in the KnitCrate an extra little gift.

My summary:

I love this yarn very much if you like this kit too, pick your KnitCrate here now, the July kit is available to 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 year, etc. and if you use this code: MAGIC20, you will get 20% Off the first month of your subscription. It sounds great, right? I need to say that if you subscribe to KnitCrate through my link, I will get some small commission.

And what we can look forward to the next time? The August KnitCrate theme is named "Take Wing" :-) Oh, look, what the inspiration was? :-) Well, I am inquisitive about the colors.
