Just realized that I forgot to share the tops I’ve made for Kristin for our vacation. They both have a funny story about how they were born. I still need to edit the pictures and I will share more details in a few.

Hmm, which one should I start with? ;o)

Alla Koval Designs

Meet Autumn and Mya, such beautiful your ladies—the winners of the cover of the summer 2012 issue of Wee Style Magazine. What adorable and sweet girls, isn’t?!

And it was our new and fun collaboration with my friend and beyond talented French designer Francoise Lama-Solet, who designed these gorgeous skirt and pants.

Make sure to visit Francoise’s store to order yours. You will love it!!

More detail pictures, description and some exciting news (I hope ;o) about both—Millefiori (white one) and Still-looking-for-right-name tops are coming. Stay tuned!

Happy Tuesday everyone!!

Happy and productive Monday everyone!!

[dropcap]S[/dropcap]oft as rose petals at dawn, this bolero and dress ensemble is sure to win any little girl’s heart! The cropped bolero features dainty tiered sleeves, overlapping fronts tied with ribbon, and stylish flower accents at the neckline and on the back panel, while the matching dress is a vision in delicate rose print trimmed with delightful ruffles.

This was another our collaboration with amazing and beyond talented Francoise Lama-Solet! Give your favorite girl this lovely set and watch how she blooms!

And yes, you are right – this bolero is from my Spring’ 2009 collection and I still owe you a pattern as I promised, but never had a chance to work on it. The good news is that this one on my schedule and I’ll start to work on the pattern next week, right after Butterfly Kisses Scarf pattern, which I almost finished (still need to polish a bit and then send to tech editor).

A Wonderful weekend to everyone! We have sunny day here in Seattle, and looks as couple more to come – fantastic! :o)

Butterfly Memories … because butterflies and flowers always go together ;o)

And with butterfly pin or tiny colorful butterfly appliques instead of leaves, and this scarf will get a different, but probably exactly that look your little one will love! Crochet it in any plain or textured sport, medium or bulky weight yarn and stylize it further by beads, sequins or other embellishments – well, the possibilities are endless.

This such a fun and quick project, and took just about couple hours. And mainly because all flowers are crocheted in one piece, without boring fasting off after each motif and then joining motifs and weaving hundreds yarn tails. Well, you have to weave two tails, but that’s all. It’s about the same technique as used in Watermelon top and Citrus corset patterns, which is truly easy and fun!!

For this sample scarf I’ve ended with adding darling leaves appliques (the look I like the best). But sure this scarf will look great with crocheted leaves too (in the same or contrasting color) … and the leaves can be crocheted as you go with flower motifs too! Let me try to describe with version and  make clear charts.

4 motifs + border = baby blanket, colorful summer cover or even afghan – you named it! The weight and type of the yarn and their corresponding gauges result in the various sizes …And plus, for your crocheting pleasure, this pattern includes two styles of border. More info and detail pictures are coming soon ;o)
