Gorgeous Autumn Poncho Pattern Release

Finally! My poncho pattern is live.

My mom and aunt fell so madly in love with mine, so I had to make one for each of them. I used different color distribution for these two as I didn't want to make them look like uniforms. Mom and auntie are identical twins and I thought it would be weird for two 70-years young ladies to wear identical ponchos. 

Needless to say they were a hit with them.

Pattern: etsy / ravelry.

Mesh Shrug

Eva spent a romantic week with her boyfriend in Rome (Italy) and she wanted to have a mesh shrug for the trip, so I whipped one for her. These seem to be quite popular right now. The funny thing is that the sleeves have to be oversized, meaning they have to cover your hands, which bears no logic with me - but who am I to question a style? 

 

For this shrug I used Nako Denim for the first time and I fell in love with the softness and the velvet feel of the yarn.

Candy Cardi

 

 

Hello friends!

I've been away for a while, but with a good reason. I am helping my daughter launch her own brand, and we've been working around the clock for a number of designs to be brought to life.

As things are getting back to normal, I hope to resume posting more regularly. 

Here's one of the projects that was started in spring, left aside and picked up again in September. 

I made this cardi for myself.  I used the granny stripe pattern and it is worked top-down. What I love most about it is the enormous sleeves. 

 

What I think is "meh" about it - it's the collar. Sweet Lord, I tried about 5 times to make it work with it, but didn't like the final looks, and settled for this one. I imagined it with a Peter Pan collar, but it simply didn't work. 

 

I am planning another post, showing it off and how to style it with other clothes.
