Random Joy – About Yarn, Needles And Angels

crocheting

I am so thankful that yarn exists on this planet. What would I do without it? I don’t even want to imagine.

Working with yarn always takes me into a different dimension – a calm one where everything is slow, quiet a peaceful… pure heaven.

These are some of my recent yarn-involving, bliss-inducing experiences…

 

crocheting

Trying a new colorful pattern for a cowl. This was really relaxing.

 
 

knitted-cowl

For the first time in my life, I knitted with short circular needles.

Oh, and by the way, I really enjoyed this short break from crocheting.

Also, I was quite surprised by how smooth and easy it is to work with this kind of needles. They seem to be just the perfect thing for cowls.

 
 

yarn-and-perfume

Would you like to hear a little secret of mine? Yes? Well… sometimes, just for fun, I spray the skeins of yarn with a few drops of my favorite perfume.

Have I mentioned other dimensions before? Then this takes you even further…

 
 

long-circular-needles

And now for something completely different. Actually, not that much, really…

I have long been an admirer of famous Icelandic knitting and especially their sweaters. As I found out lately, the sweaters are made using long circular needles.

The result?

I looted the nearest craft shop soon after and left the shop people completely bewildered and needle-less.

We are talking investments here… Investments? It is very important! And I like investing. A lot!

See, this is what I’m talking about!

My new secret project. I am addicted already. You will see the result soon.

 
 

feeding-angels

And this is the last thing that I wanted to show you today… It was only recently when I learned that angels like to feast on water that has evaporated near a burning candle.

So if there are any angels near me, which I firmly believe there are, I’d just like them to be well fed… I am also a food blogger, after all…

Have a lovely day!

With love,

Petra

 

New Pattern – Crochet Crocodile Stitch Cowl

I think I might have just created the warmest cowl on earth.

It is SOOOOO warm.

If you are looking for a fun crochet project and you like playful and easy patterns (because this project is definitely muuuch easier than it looks), then I think that this neck warmer is a great thing for you… or your loved ones… or basically anybody who likes to keep their neck warm :).

Since it uses thicker yarn a bigger hook, this cowl can be whipped up in almost no time.

P.S.: I am now toying with the idea of using a similar colorful stripey approach to make my Crocodile Stitch Bag. So tempting! What do you think…?
