Steek cardigan!

I love to challenge myself and learn new techniques and tips and patterns and woah so many times my time spent searching and trying and remodeling takes so much more time than the actual project itself. But well this is the way I am, easy is boring.
Well here is my first steek cardigan, it was intimidating to cut it but well it fits perfect and I dont have no more fear of doing it more times !

Lace self-designed top

I knew what I wanted in general, and then started to search for patterns that would fit the idea. I modified my first plan to that much that I made an open back. Otherwise quite the idea I had in mind and what I draw on paper.
Here are general guidelines to make it, no counts, but all the patterns used for the different parts.

So I started from the middle, I knitted the waist line, pattern down, the right side the same curve as the left side on the pattern. For me I repeated the pattern ten times.

Then I picked up all the stitches with the same 2,5 needle size, then the next row lessened the stitches by two and the same time went to needle size 4.
At the sides two times made the extra stitches to widen the top at chest. From the bottom of armpits, went up by tree, front and two back parts. Few rows before finish made the neck line.

Then united the waist line piece just from the bottom for few stitches and picked up all the round to make the bottom part. Started with the original pattern and first leaf last row didnt take both sized together, that made the pattern one stitch wider, same the second leaf. The third had already 30 stitches more.

All the edges have crochet finish.

Then found the buttons I wanted and voila! Super happy with the result! :)

Officially addicted

YES, totally addicted to knitting and crocheting, I barely finish one project when I already checking for the next ones. And so I dont have that spare time to open my computer and actually show what I have made , haha.
Well I show you now!
These four projects are for sale! (Any questions just contact me via here or kristinamari@hotmail.com)

One more crochet bikini!

So here it is, one more, I wanted to try a different cup pattern, and this one is on sale in my Etsy shop Kristinamari for 24 euros.
Just for some more pictures I also add my white bikini, hopefully I get to wear it some time soon, not so nice weather in Portugal at the moment .

Siin on veel ühed heegeldatud bikiinid, ma tahtsin proovida teise disaini, mustriga tehtud rinnakorvi osa, need sinised on ka müügil minu Etsy poes Kristinamari hinnaga 24 eurot.
Ja ma lisan ka veel mõned pildid oma valgetest bikiinidest, loodetavasti saan ma neid varsti kanda, pole just see mitte tavaline ilus juuni siin Portugalis.

Something blue and something knitting and something summerly crochet

I tend to not have time to make photos of my work, or I post them straight to instagram and later see that oh I havent got nothing on my blog.
Here are the things I have done this recent months, days.

Mul kukub nii välja, et ei viitsi väga pilte oma töödest teha, kohe postitan otse instasse ja siis hiljem näen, et näe blogis pole midagi.
Siin on tööd, mis olen viimastel kuudel, päevadel teinud.

Finally finished...

uhh it took its time, but i am happy with the result. And I still have some colorful yarn left, some ideas already gathering in the back of my head ;D
So here it is my summer dress, that took just one year to make. Pattern from Drops site
I modified the strap ending and crocheted a nice lining.

I just had to add this photo, my cat is so curious what going on! Pidin lihtaslt selle foto ka lisama, mu kass on nii huvitatud, mis teoksil!

uhh võttis alles aega, kuid ma olen rahul tulemusega. I mul on veel ikka üle neid ilusates värvides lõngu, juba peas ideed koonduvad :D
Aga siin see on, mu suvekleit, mis pausidega, võttis aega täpselt aasta. Õpetus Drops lehelt
Ma muutsin õlapaelte stiili ja heegeldasin ääred pitsilisemaks.

 

Fullface helmet bag

Finally it is finished!!
What a job, crocheted so many granny squares that I lost count, something around 70. Then crocheted them together, checked how is the best way to shape the bag for my helmet. Got a 80 cm long zipper, the job that hated the most was the sewing of the zipper, but I made it!
Then crocheted the handle. Sewed on the label. Oh and the inner bag is made of one t-shirt that I received from a race, so it is themed ;) cut off the sleeves, sewed together and in the bottom put in a shoe lace to tighten it.
Well it can be a masculine sport, but my helmet bag is for sure very feminine :D and one thing is sure, my helmet will never catch a cold :D :D :D

Lõpuks valmis!!
Oli alles töö, heegeldasin nii palju vanaema ruudukesi, et lugemine läks sassi, midagi 70 ringis. Siis heegeldasin nad kõik kokku, jälgides, kuidas oleks parim kotti vormida kiivri sisse paigutamiseks. Ostsin 80 cm pikkuse luku, õmblesin külge, see oli vastikuid töö kogu projekti juures, aga külge ta sai!
Siis heegeldasin sanga. Õmblesin külge sildikese. Oh ja sisemine kott on tehtud võistluselt saadud t-särgist, seega läheb ka teemaga kokku ;) lõikasin varrukad küljest ja õmblesin kokku, alumisse äärde panin kingapaela sisse, et saaks kokku tõmmata.
Võib ju mehelik sport olla, kuid minu kiivril on küll nüüd väga naiselik kott :D ja üks asi on kindel, kiivril külm nüüd küll ei hakka :D :D :D
