BLUE POPPY PIN | Crochet Pattern, Craft Kit + MORE!

 

EAP version of Blue Poppy Crochet Pin is live, and available in my Ravelry store.

BLUE POPPY
The mystical Himalayan poppy is much sought after by gardeners, but only a select few succeed in bringing its brilliant blue petals to life. Be one of those few, and make your dream a reality with the Blue Poppy flower pin!

Stand out from the crowd with this cool and serene accessory, worked in DMC Cotton Six Strand Embroidery Floss and DMC Perle No. 5, and set off by a contrasting calla lilies bloom. Like the flower that inspired it, this pin catches the eye and mind with its unique color, and will be a conversation piece wherever you go!

🇷🇺 Сегодня мой день рождения, и очень хочется поблагодарить всех вас за то, что вы со мной—куда бы я не пропадала временами… Это так суперски здорово быть частичкой сообщества где любят и ценят креатив и красоту!

Я всегда любила больше дарить чем получать подарки, и в этот день я решила всем кто сделает покупку 2 любых инструкций в моих онлайн магазинах, получит в подарок две мои книги в PDF формате. Для заказов на сумму $45+ (и проживающих в США) я с удовольствием отправлю плюс к PDF и печатную версию книг.

Так что, если у вас были в хотелках какие-либо мои инструкции, – сегодня отличный день чтобы их приобрести… следующий будет через год ;)

Contest for Fun

(🇷🇺⤵︎) I finally started to clean and organize my folders, and found this fruit collection… what a blast from the past!

Do you remember this one?


Let’s have a fun!
Everyone who will guess a name of this collection will get ANY of my pattern for free. Any pattern, not only from this collection. Just leave a comment here or direct me with your version.

Oh, and please note: All patterns of this collection are old-style patterns (read my first ones) with partial diagrams, but row-by-row written instructions in English (US terms).

🇷🇺 Я тут занялась осмысленной чисткой компьютера, и наткнулась на эту фруктовую коллекцию, – кто помнит?! 😉

А давайте устроим маленький конкурс… Кто угадает (или вспомнит) название этой коллекции, – получит любую мою инструкцию (не обязательно из этой коллекции) бесплатно. Напишите вашу версию здесь в комментариях или директ.

Ну, и должна предупредить, что инструкции из этой коллекции – фактически мои первые, поэтому они, безусловно, отличаются по уровню и стилю ;)

The Winner!!

Yarn Talk | Knit Picks Shine Sport

 

One of my all-time favorites, Shine Sport is a blend of 60% Pima Cotton and 40% Model (natural Beech wood fibre) which gives cotton a lustrous depth and silky appearance.  It knits to a smooth and soft fabric and is perfect for baby and children’s garments and blankets as it’s machine washable as well. Finished projects have great drape, and feel really like silk.

And this yarn is super soft – love how it feels to work with it!

Projects made with this yarn:

 

Brand: Knit Picks

Yarn Name: Shine Sport

Weight: Sport weight (#2 Fine)

Fiber Content: 60% Pima Cotton, 40% Modal® natural beech wood fiber

Yardage: 1.75 oz (50 g)/110 yd (101 m)
