Fruity fun 2. Kiwi

kiwi_logo copy
… Just realized that finished this top almost 3 weeks ago, but had no
chance to picture it until yesterday. Well, better late than never ;)

This style of top is so fun to make and will work for many others fruits,
like watermelon, orange, lime, lemon, grapefruit or apple… to name a
few.

Made in sport weight yarn, this top features 2 slices of kiwi with beaded
”seeds”, lace insert on the front lasing with ribbon. Crochet ties crossed on
the back and laced up (forgot to picture, but picture is coming). A pattern for
this top will come in sizes 2 (4, 6, 8, 10, 12) years as all my patterns from
now. The old patterns were edited and re-sized by professional tech editor
and available in these sizes too.

We are back

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

We are back from our little trip to Vancouver, BC Canada. It’s about 3 hours
of driving from Seattle and we’re still wondering why did not visit this place
such long time (if I remember right, our last visit was 9 years ago) The picture
above was taken from our suit on 15th level in The Sutton Place Hotel and
it’s almost all our pictures we’ve took LOL … We’re definitely in no “photograp-
hing” mood, especially Kristin ;) But definitely going to be back to Vancouver
in a month or so… so many Awesome activities going to be here. Can’t wait
for the Cherry Blossom Festival and visit their Fabulous Botanical Garden late
in a spring.
