She is amazing....

I like to talk about my sister a lot, simply because she is amazing. I already mentioned that she started a blog of her own. She has gone a long ways since then, go check it out. Now it's even available in English. She has been knitting and baking and creating ever since I left home. You can even see the hat she made for my other half.

Welcoming....

Most of you heard me talking about my sister, right? If not looking at her quilt, or new baby girl that is making her the happiest mom on the world, than you definately read (or still can) about the precious gift I got from her.
Well, she officially started her own blog. I showed her a lot of blogs while I was home and she was inspired. She writes in Slovak, but puts a lot of pictures up, so you can easily guess what she is writing about. You could also have her page translated by google. (It translates weird sometimes, but gives you an idea.)
Please, go on and support her, she doesn't know anybody from the blogland yet, but is eager to get to know all the other crafty moms.

I have been occupied by school for the past two weeks. It seems like this semester will be a bit chalenging, but I will get in the normal posting schedule soon.

Rose Hill Hat of my own...

Me in Budapest...

Few months back, I read through my favorite blogs and found tutorial for this awesome hat. I am not too much into knitting, but having a hat like that... I was eager to relearn. I even emailed Erin about those little dots (I call them..), so she could explain in non - knitter language, but I had to give up...
Then I went home (home as Slovakia home) and yeah, I forgot to mention that my sister is a prolific knitter. She truly is, I wish I had pictures of things she did. She did...
She hasn't been knitting for a while. No time, motivation, well and yes five little ones.
I sent her a link to Erin's tutorial and ask her if she could help me with it when I arrive. Weeelllll, we didn't find time for that until the last few days I had with her. She offered that she will make the hat for me. Great!!! Even better.
She printed it out and asked me few thing about it, since it was all in English. I went out and bought wool. I gave it to her on the last day I have seen her. The next morning, her husband was picking me up to go to the train station, then airport. Guess what he had for me... The hat. She did it in one evening.
Look, I love it!







I have gotten a news that matching scarflet and hand warmers are on its way to me.
I love you sis, thanks..
(Dakujem Ajka, cmuk...)

Oh, and big thanks to Erin and her great tutorial.

I am branching out...

"Are you branching out?" That is what my friend said after I metioned I bought a book to remind me how to knit. I learned how to knit as a little girl, but never had enough patience to finish anything. I remember kniting vest back home. By the time I was almost done it was too small for me. Luckily, there was enough kniters in the family (gramma, mom, sister) who supplied everybody with warm, wooly sweaters, hats, etc.. I rather kept myself busy with sewing.
Few weeks ago I was inspired by this new kniter to maybe give it a try once more.



As soon as I read her post, I found the book and bought it. I love it. I hope that all those cute ideas and SMALL projects would inspire me to knit something actually from start to finish in timely manner.







And as you can see, I already gave in. Let's hope I can keep it going. It might need to be a little slower because of all christmas sewing I need to do, but I love that I can take it with anywhere I go (...long flight back home in December....). Do they alow knitting needles on planes?
