CARNIVAL chunky yarn- quality is no. 1 in my crochet



Make sure you pick the right yarn for your project, make sure you have right needle size for the pattern... make sure ....make sure....NO! You are the only boss here and you are the only one who will decide what needles you WANT to use and what type of yarn. I use crochet hook to match my tension, for example for this chunky yarn i use 3.5 mm hook. Everyone should experiment with their tension and find best needle size. You have to make sure your stitches are not too tight or not too loose.
Crochet or knitting  is my creative time, so ill take my time to make all my decisions.I love walking around wool shop and feel every ball of wool, I might like the feel or the colour mix. CARNIVAL came home with me without any idea of what im gonna make, the quality and cheerful colours touched my heart. Here you go thats the result!!! And I know this is not the end of using this yarn!

PINK colour therapy


PINK! PINK! PINK! I believe that colour plays a very important part in all of our lives.Pink represents love and compassion. I have read to wear pink if you are in need of de-stressing and are seeking calm. So it's not only fashionable accessory but it helps to heal your sadness and loneliness...Thats why i use pink colour a lot to work with... 
Neck warmer with buttons can be purchased here

"Boston" neck warmer for HIM

    
Neck warmer "Boston" was made to keep them warm. Walk in the forest, one of the cold mornings, around November, i got inspired by couple of yellow leaves lying around grey forest ground. Ye it is knitted ha so it's not everything about crochet. Everything is about to find the right texture and shape to accomplish my idea!!!

Crochet pattern for neck warmer (my first crochet pattern-so exciting )


Ok so this is my first post after couple of years. Everything changed so much...I hope one day i will be able to take my camera back into my hands.Sooo new hobby or new addiction???Why crochet is my favorite? Because all you need is one needle and one stitch. Remember that you can put a crochet stitch just about anywhere you can put a crochet hook. Its so much quicker than knitting and easier !!!Never planed to start making patterns, it just happend when I was teaching my dear students. They fell in love with my neck warmer and asked me to write the pattern down. Here you go, it was easier than I thought :)If you know basic crochet stitches, it's an easy and quick project for you.

Butterfly



Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Fly abandonedly into the sun

If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly
Butterfly

Emotions



I'm sorry of being so emotional

I'm sorry of being so possessive

I'm sorry that I cry for you

I'm sorry because I can't live without you

I'm sorry for the tears you shed

I'm sorry for the damage I made

I'm sorry I've made you sick

Sorry I hurt you so deep

I'm sorry for giving you sleepless nights

I'm sorry for each and every fight

I'm sorry for your pain & agony

I'm sorry for the missing harmony

I'm sorry for my selfish love

I'm sorry for not caring enough

I'm sorry for my restlessness

I'm sorry for the losing grace

I'm sorry my friend I made you mad

I'm sorry darling you are so sad

Sorry for not giving you any happiness

Sorry because it's my disgrace

I'm sorry for thinking of you so very much

I'm sorry I always miss your touch

I'm sorry of being so mad about you

I'm sorry for my every blue

I'm sorry of being so immature

I'm sorry now that can't be cured

I'm sorry of being myself

I'm sorry that I've failed

I'm sorry and sorry again

I'm sorry of being insane

But believe me that I love you

Should I say sorry for that too?
