Hello! Today I present a little monster, which I made some time ago (this month it was his turn to be shown). The crocheting part itself was super easy and quick, but when it came to felting, it was a bit of a struggle. The yarn, which was 100%, NOT superwash wool, just resisted being felted in the washing machine. In hot water. With harsh soap. In the company of stiff jeans. After four washes, I grabbed a very stiff scrubbing brush, and started felting them by hand. It helped some, but I decided to put them in one more wash cycle. It came out the way it did. Not ideal, but I can live with it. Hubert sometimes holds candy in his mouth, and sometimes a bunch of pens and pencils. Wishing everyone a nice and peaceful day.

Amineko
Witajcie! Dzis przedstawiam spiacego amineko. (Amineko to skrot od japonskiego wyrazenia - amigurumi neko, co po prostu znaczy amigurumi kot). Robilam go z darmowego wzoru (diagram plus tekst po angielsku w linku ponizej). Zeby bylo smieszniej i aby dodac mu wiecej charakteru, lapki i uszy zrobilam w roznych rozmiarach. Wszystkich pozdrawiam serdecznie i zycze pieknego dnia.
Hello! Today I show a sleeping amineko (combination of 'amigurumi neko', meaning amigurumi cat) toy. I made it from a free pattern (link below). To make him more wonky and to add more character, I crocheted his legs and ears in different lengths.
Have a wonderful day, everyone! See you in next post.

The Vault Cowl / Vault Komin
Hello, everyone! Today I'm showing the last of three cowls. This one is a bit more fitting colour- and pattern-wise for this time of year. It's a bit smaller and lighter than the previous two, but because it's made out of wool, it's still quite warm.

Eclipse Mandala Cowl/ Komin
Witajcie! Dzis przedstawiam drugi z trzech kominow, ktore zrobilam jakis czas temu. Akurat kolorem pasuje troszke do okresu Walentynkowego. Wzor byl dosyc latwy i niedrogi do wykonania (zuzylam jeden motek), wiec polecam.
Wszystkim zycze pieknego dnia.
Hello, everyone! Today I show you a second of three cowls, which I made some time ago. Due to its colour, it goes very nicely with Valentine's Day season. The pattern itself was relatively easy and inexpensive to make (I only used one skein), so I recommend it.
Wishing everyone a beautiful day.

"Emergent Growth" cowl/komin
Witajcie w nowym roku! Miejmy nadzieje, ze bedzie on dla nas dobry. Szczerze mowiac mam juz serdecznie dosyc tych wybrykow losu z 2020, 2021 i 2022. Jezeli Ktos tam na gorze slyszy - mysle, ze starczy juz tego. Acha, i prosze tez wlac jakiegos ducha uspakajajacego w tych, co to lubia rozpetywac wojny. Nie takich nam tu na planecie potrzeba.
No dobrze, nowy rok - nowe robotki. W okresie zimowym, jak wiadomo, jest zimno, wiec i jakies otulenie dla szyi sie przydaje. Szaliki nie zawsze sa dla mnie wygodne, wiec postanowilam zrobic sobie trzy kominy. Dzis przedstawiam Wam jeden z nich. Dane odn. wzoru i wloczki mozecie znalezc nizej. Dodam tylko, ze na komin zuzylam jeden motek.
Zycze Wam przede wszystkim wspanialego, pomyslnego, obfitujacego w dobre zdrowie 2023-go roku.
Hello in the new year! Let's hope it will be a good one. To be honest, I'm quite fed up with all the shenanigans of 2020, 2021 and 2022. If anybody up there in heavens is listening - I think that's enough. Oh, and please send some seriously calming vibes to those, who love to start wars. We don't need this kind of people on the planet.
Anyway, new year - new projects. Since it tends to be cold in the winter (obviously), some kind of neck warming accessories are quite useful. Because scarves are not always comfortable for me, I decided to make three cowls. Today, I'm showing one of them. Specifications re. pattern and yarn are given below. Just FYI, I used only one skein of yarn.
Wishing everyone a wonderful, successful and healthy 2023.

Merry Christmas/Wesolych Swiat
Dzis przedstawiam Wam kilka ozdob choinkowych, ktore zrobilam pare miesiecy temu, w/g wzorow z Mmmcrafts na Etsy. Niestety, poniewaz u nas w tym roku na swieta zawital covid (prawie trzy lata udalo sie nam od niego uchylic), wiec ani sil, ani czasu na ubieranie choinki nie stalo. Beda wiec wisiec na drzewku w przyszlym roku.
Wszystkim zycze pieknych Swiat, duuuuzo dobrego zdrowia, samych zyczliwych osob dookola i spelnienia marzen.💗
Today I present some Christmas ornaments I made a couple of months ago, using patterns from Mmmcrafts on Etsy. Unfortunately, due to covid (which we were able to successfully dodge for almost three years), there was no energy or time to unfurl and decorate a tree this year, which means, they will get properly displayed next year.
I wish everyone a happy Christmas, lots of good health and good friends around.💗
