Rustic Welted Pumpkins/Rustykalne dynie

Witajcie! Dyni ciag dalszy... Tym razem zrobilam w takim stylu "kaloryferowym", z tweedowej wloczki, i wyszlo bardzo rustykalnie. Chociaz sa niesamowicie latwe w wykonaniu (bo robi sie w zasadzie tylko sciegiem gladkim), to jednak zajmuja sporo czasu poniewaz co iles tam rzedow trzeba zlaczyc rzad pierwszy, z rzedem siodmym (czy ktoryms tam, zaleznie od tego jakie szerokie te "zeberka" chcemy), co znacznie skraca dlugosc robotki. I tak powtarzamy, az osiagniemy pozadana dlugosc. Swietny projekt do robienia przy telewizji - nie trzeba za duzo myslec, pilnowac czy planowac. Polecam.

Hello! Continuing with the pumpkins... This time I made some ridged ones, using tweed yarns, which resulted in a very rustic style. Although they are super easy to make (simple stockinette stitch), they do tend to take a long time, because every so often you need to knit together first row with seventh row (or whichever row you want, depending on how wide you want the "welts" to be), which drastically shortens the length of the piece - until you reach your desired overall length. It's a great project for TV nights, as there's not much deep thinking, checking or planning involved. I recommend.

New Pumpkins! / Nowe dynie!

 

No, wiadomo - jesien sie zaczyna - dynie sie robia! Pierwsze w tym sezonie, robione dla dwoch przemilych osob. Juz przedtem korzystalam z tego "przepisu" dwa lata temu, i robilo sie szybko, i latwo. Tym razem zdecydowalam dynie przyozdobic koralikami i wstazeczkami, aby nadac im dodatkowy charakter.

Autumn is here, pumpkins get made - obviously. First two of this season. Made for two very dear people. I already used this "recipe" two years ago, and they were easy and fast to make. This time, I decided to decorate them with ribbons and beads, to give them additional character.

Persian Tiles Blanket/Narzuta

 Witajcie. Wlasnie na dniach skonczylam narzute, ktora mialam ochote zrobic juz dawno temu. Zestaw wloczek do "Persian Tiles Blanket" mozna kupic, oczywiscie, od projektantki (linki ponizej), ale ja zakupilam w krajowym sklepie Mary Maxim, bo akurat mialam na niego rabat. W sumie, projekt jest latwy w wykonaniu, wiec bardzo polecam.

Hello! I recently finished a crocheted throw, which I wanted to make for some time now. The yarn kit can be purchased, of course, from the designer's website (link below), but I got mine from a domestic retailer, since they had a discount on their afghan kits at the time. Overall, this was an easy and enjoyable project, which I highly recommend.
