Bargello! wip 2

Bargello wip 2

I'm taking part in Crochet-a-Long. We are crocheting a beautiful Bargello pattern (Ravelry link). Each Friday we have to add a link of the progress of our projects to designer's blog Step to Fly. And here you can see the link party after first week CAL was launched. Today I want to show you my progress. (My blanket on Ravelry) I love the result! Forgot to tell you, it will be a baby blanket. I hope there will be enough yarn in my stash to finish the blanket. As it is a stash buster project I don't want to buy more yarn for this. The yarn is Stylecraft Summer Breeze DK, it's a blend of cotton and acrylic fiber and it's such a soft and light yarn.
Sometimes in the morning is frost, so I took a nice picture of the nice November weather.
Take care of each other...

Ну все же я взяла крючок 5,5мм, вяжу... Довольна! Вязать очень легко и так красиво получается. Полотно такое мягонькое.... мммм.... Правда после 8го цветовой полосы мой плед пошел небольшими волнами, поэтому в тех рядах, где мы в углу вяжем по две "ракушки" (это 3й, 7й, 11й и т.д. каждый 4й ряд), я убрала по одному ст/н из каждой ракушки. То есть я вяжу так: (2 ст/н, вп, 1 ст/н) первая "ракушка" готова, вп, (1 ст/н, вп, 2 ст/н) вторая "ракушка". На фото ниже я показала свой новый угол.

Ну и полотно расправилось, хотя все равно имеет тенденцию волниться... Ни слова ранее не сказала про планы. А план мой таков: вязать каждый день минимум 45 минут. Да-да, сижу с таймером. Сейчас в 45 мин еле-еле укладывается два цветовых ряда. Я бы вязала и дольше, но у меня на ходу еще куча начатых проектов, которые тоже хочется повязать.
На следующем фото - на пледе лежит малинка, которая все еще висит у нас в саду на кустах, и последнее яблочко, сорванное с дерева.

А вот так выглядит моя изнанка, ниточки я отрезаю после каждой смены цвета. Заправлять хвостики всё откладываю на потом, не очень люблю это дело. Можно их заправлять по ходу работы, но так как вязание - это праздник, а прятание(такое слово есть?) хвостиков - это работа, то я - за праздник каждый день :)

А фото ниже получилось одним морозным утром на этой неделе, когда мы с дочкой шли в садик. По утрам все чаще и чаще - небольшой мороз.

Alisha's Summer Hat

 One day I noticed that I needed to make a few cotton hats for my daughters. Here is one of them for my younger daughter.
 
Alisha's Summer Hat 3

A description of the hat.
 The head circumference of my 2,5 years old girl is 48cm.
The size of the finished hat: is 21cm in width, and 17cm in height.
The yarn I've used is 100% Cotton DK by Patons UK (210m/100g) in Nectarine color.
And a 4mm hook.

 Ch 4 join in the ring with a slip st
Rnd 1:  12 DC in the ring
Rnd 2:  2 DC in each st around
Rnd 3:  (DC, ch 1, DC) - in every 2nd st around
Rnd 4:  4 DC in each ch-1-space around
Rnd 5:  Cluster(2 DC, ch 1, 2 DC) - in the middle of each 4-DC-cluster
Rnd 6:  *(2 DC, ch 1, 2 DC) - in ch-1-space, 1 Treble in the space between the clusters, repeat from * around
Rnd 7:  *(2 DC, ch 1, 2 DC) - in ch-1-space, 2 DC in Treble - repeat from * around (84 st)
Rnd 8:  *(2 DC, ch 1, 2 DC) - in ch-1-space, 1 DC in each of the next 2 DC between the clusters - repeat from * around
Rnd 9-16:  As Rnd 8
Rnd 17:  Sc in each st around(84 st)
Rnd 18:  *6 Sc, ch-3-Picot - repeat from * around. Fasten off, hide the ends, attach a lovely flower and enjoy your girl's new hat!

How I do a Picot: Sc, ch 3, slip st in the sc (insert hook through the front loop of sc and left vertical bar of the same sc).

The lovely flower pattern I found here.

Also a graphic pattern of the hat, where it is missing, hehe, Round 17. You should do sc in each st around in that round.

I don't want to be photographed - she said...
 Every evening before bedtime I'm doing one square for a blanket, which I do as a part of A Granny A Day 2012 Crochet-A-Long. I 'm writing about that on my other page A Granny a Day. 



Take care of each other!

One Winter Day

It was a few days ago ... It snowed during the night ... And in the morning was frosty, white and beautiful! I walked outside the door early, and took a photo of our decorated house...


 In the afternoon we had a walk ... My little girl was very happy with snow!
She took it in her small hand... 
and knows now that it's cold ...


 
And she knows now that your boots leave footprints in the snow...

We also watched an airplane in the sky...


While I was trying to take photos of grass hidden in the snow, my little girl went away from me ... 

And some more winter photos for you.



And this little snowman  lives in my car now. He jingle for me with his bell when I'm driving too fast. poet-single.blogspot.com


A nice weekend for you!
Hug you...

The beauty of autumn

Hello Hello!
In the morning was frosty, and during the day was a wonderful sunny day. So we had a walk - my youngest girl and me! And here is  some new pictures with my new camera. 

The wild rose behind our house


 Leaves in dewdrops ... Oh-oh ... I think I even fell on the grass to make this shot ...



Wild apples... My daughter is very fond of  picking them up and playing with them...



I'm just learning to use my new camera, so some pictures are not perfect... 
Kisses...
