Well, sometimes I get extremely lazy even to write a message to the blog, and really feel like I need to fix this :)<br />
Here is one of my works, which may be called a make-up bag, or just a little bag, or a pouch depending on what you'd like to use it for.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrmp2hT9vxArvKCHRw0ckbCOIsfqRXKZJweTXsdeaQJbxJg3xj8kL-FAneVd_kdvH6xYs7sWURVU7pEURKhFO7Yop3O9g76RFX-ejhhK0O343QGoUv6Be1G2ShPzxcz1YG6XgW6KO7qxM/s1600/PicsArt_1429292292031(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrmp2hT9vxArvKCHRw0ckbCOIsfqRXKZJweTXsdeaQJbxJg3xj8kL-FAneVd_kdvH6xYs7sWURVU7pEURKhFO7Yop3O9g76RFX-ejhhK0O343QGoUv6Be1G2ShPzxcz1YG6XgW6KO7qxM/s320/PicsArt_1429292292031(1).jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="background-color: #ea9999;">You need</span>: piece of fabrics, zipper of a right length, sewing machine (you can sew by hand too), sewing thread, yarn of 2 different colours, knitting needles.<br />
Cannot give you any pattern for knitting, 'cause I have it only on paper. But you can find really a huge amount of different snowflake fair isle patterns on Internet. The rest of the piece gets covered with a "dot" pattern (*one st in color 1, another st in color 2*, repeat from * to *). And you'll need 2 knitted pieces.<br />
Then take your piece of fabrics and cut it in two.<br />
Then you take a zipper and start your sewing machine. Your next task is to attach the fabrics and knitten pieces to the zipper and you can use this tutorial for help: http://ginapina.com/wordpress/08/zipper-pouch-tutorial<br />
When fabrics' pieces and knitted pieces are sewn to the zipper you act as following: with sewing machine, sew fabrics only (!) together, leave your knitted pieces open. Then cover the fabrics lining with the knitted top (so that you see the right side of the nearly ready pouch).<br />

<br />
Unfortunately, you'll have to sew the knitted pieces together by hand. I did it with light pink yarn. I thought it'd be funnier this way, when stitches that keep two knitted pieces together would be seen.<br />

On photos you can see the finnished bag (I didn't take any photos of the whole process). And I still haven't found any use for that :)</div>

(Sorry for a late wish.)<br />
<br />
Well, I really hope you had great celebrations of Christmas and New Year. I bet you received many presents and you gave as many.<br />
At the end of the last year I did't have much time, so I didn't manage to make many hand-made presents. But among those were mittens, which I would like to present:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

They went for the very loved ones.<br />
And I'm in such state of mind that I'd like to share a description of the grey mittens. I called them "Tamara's mittens".<br />
Feel free to download the PDF. I really tried my best to make the description as clear as possible, but I'm not sure if I've succeeded in that :) So you're very welcome to ask question (if you have some) in comments. <br />
<br />

Long time no messages from me. However it doesn't mean i stopped knitting :)<br />
I've knitted quite much lately, but i'm just so lazy to take photos and post them.<br />
This week i managed to fight against my laziness and here are the newest items.<br />
At first it's a pullover for myself.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWzMhLHu8KDreXCcrOGgtzTWiRu0-oFGyLC-ZhlaTJMupOK-gXUVco5OpFlnEC4UEDaAQyXKEbLsTjiS9JFTJQwaqNJ2PXs8GItFSYW7GhqwGxAbCZeRpXEJFRz1Vt1TLNuWPcIKXsBJ8/s1600/PicsArt_1413480571602.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWzMhLHu8KDreXCcrOGgtzTWiRu0-oFGyLC-ZhlaTJMupOK-gXUVco5OpFlnEC4UEDaAQyXKEbLsTjiS9JFTJQwaqNJ2PXs8GItFSYW7GhqwGxAbCZeRpXEJFRz1Vt1TLNuWPcIKXsBJ8/s1600/PicsArt_1413480571602.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
It's very light (only 200 gr of yarn used) but warm. Made with needles size 3,5 mm, but my knitting is very loose so, one st in 3,5 mm needles here could equal approx. 4-4,5 mm with somebody else's knitting. The yarn used is composite: 30% mohair, 70% acrylic.<br />
Unfortunately, i cannot give you instructions just because they don't exist. The only thing i had was the picture with measures in cm, that's it.<br />
You can also check how it looks on me on <a href="http://instagram.com/yulianknitwear" target="_blank">Instagram</a>.<br />
<br />
The latest item is socks.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDETQ3SghYBhyxNlesiOVMFz_OOOHp74XTRTprjykGLrSAueRXBwj_MjS0a1kQBOaoC4sD6evHVm1A6J1f0xQL-2UxvpNnpRTfMOwrHuZbexpO4NGsV8wK9MAigp8RgytBpUrJP-LoyDo/s1600/PicsArt_1413479944697.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDETQ3SghYBhyxNlesiOVMFz_OOOHp74XTRTprjykGLrSAueRXBwj_MjS0a1kQBOaoC4sD6evHVm1A6J1f0xQL-2UxvpNnpRTfMOwrHuZbexpO4NGsV8wK9MAigp8RgytBpUrJP-LoyDo/s1600/PicsArt_1413479944697.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
This time i used <a href="http://www.garnstudio.com/lang/en/pattern.php?id=4722&lang=en" target="_blank">pattern from DROPS Design</a>. I changed it little bit, so the socks are about two cm longer in ankle. I also didn't have Garn studio yarn available, so i used what i had with approximately the same length/weight ratio (in my case it was "7 Veljestä" by Novita). Quite easy and quick to make, but they look very nice.<br />
<br />
So here were the latest news from me :)</div>

Some time ago one of my acquaintances asked me to knit pillowcases for her new interior. That was an interesting project with only one "but - some of them took too much time to make.<br />
But nevertheless they are all done and I present you pictures of two of them:<br />

About five years ago i bought a light coat. I wore it for maybe couple times and then it got stuck in my wardrobe for a long time. But two months ago i occasionally remembered about it, but it looked just so boring and, if i can say, unwelcoming:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8oZ1gSDCju7siFhqvsVsV6YynXxGRX5wn_NkKjgpBc4BEI4_reBkI1iJ5eBQkK-sfR4q19ZqmCTDaYEkLG_zuY7mSFjD2NHjG-Tbftwfbih_zxGt3cjHXlbxeOy49WWPBxbHDdaif4a8/s1600/SAM_5788_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8oZ1gSDCju7siFhqvsVsV6YynXxGRX5wn_NkKjgpBc4BEI4_reBkI1iJ5eBQkK-sfR4q19ZqmCTDaYEkLG_zuY7mSFjD2NHjG-Tbftwfbih_zxGt3cjHXlbxeOy49WWPBxbHDdaif4a8/s1600/SAM_5788_1.jpg" height="212" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<br />
It was really necessary to do something with it. I thought to make a colourful belt or put some embroidery to the collar, but finally decided to do only minor change: to make colourful cuffs.</div>
<div>
And here i'd like to share my experience with you.</div>
<div>
Here is the set of tools you may need:<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNHixny3ZuACAEvmupS_GxZ0Fgco7Oi7Kbht_XhcBcCotRTF0FthP97IaVbFN1brUj-ikowZWpaBpOZ8xpgfd010zAR4czit6KPXXWgt1-vADLwV0ArpNb7m_VQ_1DRDUNz-wvnvsnnac/s1600/SAM_0296_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNHixny3ZuACAEvmupS_GxZ0Fgco7Oi7Kbht_XhcBcCotRTF0FthP97IaVbFN1brUj-ikowZWpaBpOZ8xpgfd010zAR4czit6KPXXWgt1-vADLwV0ArpNb7m_VQ_1DRDUNz-wvnvsnnac/s1600/SAM_0296_1.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
(There are sewing threads of two different colours, but finally i used only the brown one).<br />
At first, i knitted a piece in 1x1 rib to measure how many stitches and rows are in 10 x 10 cm, then measured the circumference of the sleeves and came to the conclusion that i needed to cast on 68 st onto my stockinette needles (#2,5 mm).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxIHZ5-LK9nQtDz8mRz2IIViL6DxZ21lYSxu8MQhALb_rzyYqV10wtMTehtEhJuu__Ic20z5O4s09lvxnUJW0gU1pj5np48ttI8lSxFU5FjemjhQJH2qLCucJNgvqbiU367GIaOSkDX3w/s1600/SAM_0299_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxIHZ5-LK9nQtDz8mRz2IIViL6DxZ21lYSxu8MQhALb_rzyYqV10wtMTehtEhJuu__Ic20z5O4s09lvxnUJW0gU1pj5np48ttI8lSxFU5FjemjhQJH2qLCucJNgvqbiU367GIaOSkDX3w/s1600/SAM_0299_1.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Then I made a 10 cm heigh piece in 1x1 rib.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK75ow_zkZWN2xcgTZVVphXZ3GXNFwq8GHc62CLBbL3oFeoIs58slDT8OwbgMbR9vAC1_C-uWJq5MuxvgeOlz0BLUusNF21g8hOH88Y9skWoZ4qucQ4E4edE-QNAqFQxWV4uNcL4Zjjx8/s1600/SAM_0293_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK75ow_zkZWN2xcgTZVVphXZ3GXNFwq8GHc62CLBbL3oFeoIs58slDT8OwbgMbR9vAC1_C-uWJq5MuxvgeOlz0BLUusNF21g8hOH88Y9skWoZ4qucQ4E4edE-QNAqFQxWV4uNcL4Zjjx8/s1600/SAM_0293_1.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
And for the cast-off I used a needle.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIq2qMvVHAYJNFjl5j5XoheVkQhaRZIAT_kh4o6VDeaD9xHxREvKUyg0JsNSQQeWaZZltmRGKlL0y_HKfOCLsqcd3N10j4ypfBI7sz52T3ssoOdG5oAowOkVBXb_eEt0uYLjcuGkjMDXQ/s1600/SAM_0301_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIq2qMvVHAYJNFjl5j5XoheVkQhaRZIAT_kh4o6VDeaD9xHxREvKUyg0JsNSQQeWaZZltmRGKlL0y_HKfOCLsqcd3N10j4ypfBI7sz52T3ssoOdG5oAowOkVBXb_eEt0uYLjcuGkjMDXQ/s1600/SAM_0301_1.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
After i hid the ends of the thread i got a piece that finally looked like that:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixpAM7IrnREsJJc4jqa2C_XQdG8VYFEzU4TKrcOoWCTUPGiFyiZtmZ6H00dns4itJLouASaW5_ild2Cab0ckZE9XqL7dmcu1NTUi9LDKyMONAWW13eq2NYtOiUNBsVJBYss_XGWEZj8hg/s1600/SAM_0295_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixpAM7IrnREsJJc4jqa2C_XQdG8VYFEzU4TKrcOoWCTUPGiFyiZtmZ6H00dns4itJLouASaW5_ild2Cab0ckZE9XqL7dmcu1NTUi9LDKyMONAWW13eq2NYtOiUNBsVJBYss_XGWEZj8hg/s1600/SAM_0295_1.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Then i took off the cuffs of the sleeves (sorry for the yellowish picture).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFn41rP2929pFEm8scu5dLrgwN6-fce1R3QlknKT2S2a8iTvQtXnqGgmhtdlrSJMaSqZLyjVBZ2lBNUy7zmelSIzRtrhehBo_nItuvs3YtxlKKrsehPjbFqogfu8jpBBi1SLP_qnSpXrU/s1600/SAM_5801_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFn41rP2929pFEm8scu5dLrgwN6-fce1R3QlknKT2S2a8iTvQtXnqGgmhtdlrSJMaSqZLyjVBZ2lBNUy7zmelSIzRtrhehBo_nItuvs3YtxlKKrsehPjbFqogfu8jpBBi1SLP_qnSpXrU/s1600/SAM_5801_1.jpg" height="212" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
The next step was to iron the open edges of the sleeves, fold them inside and attach the knitted piece with pins (or needles) so it would be comfortable to sew them.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I want to put special attention to how the knitted piece was attached. I turned the sleeve inside out (so on the picture above you see the sleeve's inside) but left the knitted piece right side out (or did nothing to it), and then i just put the knitted piece onto the sleeve and fixed it with needles.<br />
Then i turned the sleeve back out and sewed everything together.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
(As you can see the sleeve is now seen from its right side but the knitted piece is inside out coming from inside the sleeve.)<br />
As for how to sew. I did it by hands 'cause i fount it quite uncomfortable to sew with a machine in this particular case, and i'm not so good at machine sewing. But if you like machine stitches i see no problems with that :)<br />
And then you just fold the knitted piece up the sleeve and do the other sleeve the same way.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here I present my version of quite a popular instruction on how to knit a flower.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's very simple and quick. I think it would be very cool to make it together with children.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So for that you'd need 2 needles (30-35 cm long) and a thread. You won't need a long thread, so if you have some leftovers you can successfully use them here.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To start with, you cast on 56 st, and knit 9-11 rows in st st. An you get smth like this:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq2oexYJb4YxcTQuzS_gyd7Aw6rjTZLHusJjp6y9azNKcJ8KvU4FKGXU6Do_KOXjQatYxolSQewlETnUGYx6lGGORH4LwYZiXw4GzeLongG5CubCDnw44dRLIqQxRHDhnZrPdpXdoQwSg/s1600/SAM_5708_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq2oexYJb4YxcTQuzS_gyd7Aw6rjTZLHusJjp6y9azNKcJ8KvU4FKGXU6Do_KOXjQatYxolSQewlETnUGYx6lGGORH4LwYZiXw4GzeLongG5CubCDnw44dRLIqQxRHDhnZrPdpXdoQwSg/s1600/SAM_5708_1.jpg" height="212" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the next row (which should be on the back side) we start manipulations: edge st, 4 p, drop 1 st, 8 p, drop 1 st, 8 p, drop 1 st, 8 p, drop 1 st, 8 p, drop 1 st, 8 p, drop 1 st, 4 p, edge st.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
As for the dropped stitches, you need to unweave them down to the 2nd row. When you turn the piece it looks approximately like this:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaRTL7KMXWLIjIbf9CMfo7pHGXsnqKnO2tGF995la1LqbHGwoS9zmejmciDjLrDv6_dxG6WZQv0W1f5TQZDYmLxRjK15qLVvcA0RI2BUOAnoGggNmtQg4du-Z5hUBJs7rd_aE8I32tEXo/s1600/SAM_5714_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaRTL7KMXWLIjIbf9CMfo7pHGXsnqKnO2tGF995la1LqbHGwoS9zmejmciDjLrDv6_dxG6WZQv0W1f5TQZDYmLxRjK15qLVvcA0RI2BUOAnoGggNmtQg4du-Z5hUBJs7rd_aE8I32tEXo/s1600/SAM_5714_1.jpg" height="212" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So in the next row (right side) you do like this: edge st, 4 k, *put the right needle through the dropped stitch and under the loose yarn and knit it, k8*, repeat 4 times, k the dropped st, 4 k, edge st.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirjUMf_OsmO0t1w3M7sDCOvhO6UoR9stM7h0y5XZIy3k73ynm2n3tiKcCZgTUlfzjBfU21xWVYA12dNzjrbUE9BL3MpLklaXc4PiJZM7byl7dJnhT-DhBApVTzvAttslGtmnJCMDGPDlc/s1600/SAM_5716_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirjUMf_OsmO0t1w3M7sDCOvhO6UoR9stM7h0y5XZIy3k73ynm2n3tiKcCZgTUlfzjBfU21xWVYA12dNzjrbUE9BL3MpLklaXc4PiJZM7byl7dJnhT-DhBApVTzvAttslGtmnJCMDGPDlc/s1600/SAM_5716_1.jpg" height="212" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the next row purl 3 st together at a time, so when you turn the piece it should hopefully look better than this:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMPBS40BR9WjzhX3aiuIipZBMSI37bhZdSbKdPgJueoQ8ofyDYK6okfGWTOOKWGMAO0DNdLRpOqeqUt6q9FC02UCl3Q2bfZVhv-DsCR76JGwfoWhZdaShDQHwrnMR_6GzVIlVjxJTaPxo/s1600/SAM_5719_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMPBS40BR9WjzhX3aiuIipZBMSI37bhZdSbKdPgJueoQ8ofyDYK6okfGWTOOKWGMAO0DNdLRpOqeqUt6q9FC02UCl3Q2bfZVhv-DsCR76JGwfoWhZdaShDQHwrnMR_6GzVIlVjxJTaPxo/s1600/SAM_5719_1.jpg" height="212" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You can notice that i didn't put the needle under the loose yarn. But anyways, the only thing left to do is to gather all the stitches onto the thread forming a flower and graft the ends of the piece forming a petal:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Great news! Now you can find my works on <a href="http://myspace.com/340634232" target="_blank">Myspace</a>.<br />
There i'm planning to post photos of my works, which haven't been published here ('cause i'm too lazy to write about each and every piece). Hurray!</div>

Last time I wrote about "taking advice" from nature when it comes up to combining colours. However there are methods which correspond to current technical progress :)<br />
On internet you can already find interesting colour palettes and even whole web-sites of such palettes. And here i present you a project www.design-seeds.com. The project has been created by Jessica, who besides being passionate about colour, also has degree in industrial design and worked for Ford, Timberland and Reebok, so there can't be any questions about professionalism and experience of the project's founder. On the website you can search palettes by theme and colour value. It's also possible to purchase palette books and some other products.<br />
Another and very, i'd say, serious approach to colour matching is Pantone Matching System: pantone.com. Well, you can browse their page by yourself, so there is no need to tell in details about their products. The most important is that they make trend forecasts and that's how we can find out what are the most fashionable colours of coming seasons. And so the colour of the year 2014 is Radiant Orchid.<br />
Do you use any services in matters related to colour?</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yep, I must say I'm not very successful with knitting something for myself. But last year before Christmas and New Year celebrations I finally finished a white pullover. I've been knitting it for more than a year. In Autumn 2012 I made a white pullover, wore it couple times, but then understood I didn't like it, so i destroyed it. Then I started a new one, made it slowly for couple months, but then again stopped liking it, so destroyed it again. And finally I understood what I really wanted. I wanted a simple piece of clothes which would look humble and warm me in cold days, but at the same time it should also have something interesting, so I found a pattern, which in its turn was also simple. (Yep, simplicity is my disease, if I can say so).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
So here it is:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
For this pullover I used needles #5. (And it's all for XS size.)<br />
I'm, frankly, too lazy to tell about the whole process, but can tell generally.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For the back and the front piece I cast on 72 st. The rib's height is 5 cm.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The back piece and the sleeves are entirely in st st after the rib. For the back piece: in the next row after the rib I add evenly 4 st and continue in st st until I come up to armholes, where I cast off 9 st from both sides of the piece. Then I continue in st st for 19 cm, after what cast off all the st.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The front piece goes the same way as the back one, but there is a pattern in the middle, so it goes like that:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
5 cm in rib, next 2 rows - in st st, while in the first of them I evenly add 4 st. Then we start the pattern: edge st, k12, p1, cable (on 3 st), p1, pattern (36 st), p1, cable (on 3 st), p1, k12, edge st.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And it goes like that until armholes, where I cast off 9 st on both sides. So now instead of 12 k, we make 3 k. And then 19 cm more and cast off all the stitches.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For sleeves I cast on 38 st, knit 5 cm in rib, the next row I add 2 st on both sides, and then stitch adding goes like that: add 2 st in every 8th row 9 times, and after that add 2 st in every 6th row 4 times. Then continue until needed length and cast off all the stitches.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sew all the parts together.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As for the cable and pattern. We make cable on 3 st: 2 rows in st st, for the next row slip 2 st on cable needle behind the piece, k1, k st from the cable needle. And repeate like that.</div>
<br />
And pattern is here:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It's Christmas and New Year celebration soon. The weather this year doesn't please, so I tried to create Christmassy atmosphere by myself.<br />

This time it's not about knitting, but about something that is hand-made.<br />
This year such Christmas trees are especially in fashion and are very easy to make. You need only to make a paper cone and cover it with tape or film. Then take a thread to your taste and reel it over the cone covering it with a good layer of decoupage glue. Leave your future tree to dry (i left it for two days) and then carefully take it of the paper cone. And that's it, the tree is ready, you only need to decorate it (if you want).<br />
Hope this year we see snow...</div>

It's snowing today and the ground is finally white, so i thought it's time to tell about another "work" of mine. Made it several months ago (as a birthday present), so it'll be quite difficult to remember details.<br />

For these socks i used a thread which, as producer says, was specially for knitting socks (40% wool, 35% acrylic, 25% polyamide) and needles #4 (4 mm).<br />
The size was supposed to be 37-38.<br />
So at first you need to cast on stitches to four needles (not sure already but in my case it should have been smth like 51 st). And the first row you just knit on 1st and 4th needle but on 2nd and 3rd you make 2x2 rib starting and finishing with 2 k.<br />
Next row you start pattern on 2nd and 3rd needles. I found my pattern on internet on some website and it was probably taken from some magazine. I changed it a little and finally got pattern which took 22 stitches in width and 16 rows in height. And you knit the pattern until the piece comes to the toe.<br />
On the 1st and 4th needles you continue in rib until it comes to the heel. You knit the heel on two needles (1st and 4th) in traditional way in stockinette stitches.<br />
After the heel you continue the piece again on four needles and again continue making the pattern on the 2nd and the 3rd needles, while stockinette stitch on the 1st and the 4th.<br />
When it comes to the toe you start knitting in st st on all the four needles.<br />
So when your sock is ready you can see that its top has quite interesting pattern: it has pattern in front, 4 k st on each side and a rib on the back. <br />
Through the length of the sock the pattern (in my case) was repeated four times (as you can see from the photo).<br />
It's Christmas and the New Year celebration soon. So if you can't decide what presents you wanna give to your family and friends and definitely wanna do presents by your own hands socks could be a good idea. One can always find a way to use them :)</div>

I personally find knitting more interesting (for me) than crocheting, but nevertheless I do crochet sometimes. And here is one of the examples - extremely easy scarf.<br />

It was crocheted with a 3,5 mm hook in circular rows. The first and the last rows were made in double crochet, and the rows in between them - in treble crochet. *<br />
Simple crochet patterns have beautiful texture, so the only thing to do is to choose a colour.<br />
<br />
Yep, I really believe - the simplier the better.<br />
<br />
* For American English - single crochet/double crochet accordingly.</div>

As, I think, most of those who knit, I knit for presents and very often those are presents for children. Here are couple of pictures of one of such works. Inspiration came from Garnstudio models.<br />
This bolero consists of 5 parts: 2 sleeves, 2 front and 1 back pieces. It was knitted by the needles #3,5 in stockinette stitches.<br />
It really didn't take a lot of time and pattern is extremely easy as you can see: only hearts on the left front piece. I think flowers would look good also. The edge is crocheted in contrast colour, I just thought that sharp contrasts is one of those things which distinguishes kids' clothes from adult outfits.<br />

I made this dress in spring, so I hardly remember how it went as it was improvisation. I can only say that I used needles #3 or #3,5. Threads were pure cotton. I'd recommend light threads from natural materials.<br />
As you can see the patterns are very easy, as well as the edge, which was crocheted.<br />
From the colours you've probably understood that I was inspired by quite old trends, which were presented 6-12 (or even more) months ago. I'm quite late in fashion trends :)</div>

I don't know if you've ever had problems choosing colors, but I can say that it does bother me a lot. What bothers me the most is how colours match.<br />
Couple years ago I heard a good piece of advice from TV. It was a program on how to dress and the "victim" of style gurus had a problem of matching colours. Besides everything this person really liked butterflies. So one of the "gurus" said that to develop a good taste for colours that person could buy a photo-album of butterflies and see how the nature itself matches colours.<br />
I consider it to be a very good advice which concerns not only clothes but interior and crafts as well.<br />
And some pictures for inspiration :)<br />

A little thing I'd like to share is devoted to inspiration.<br />
Besides the fact that one can find inspiration in all the big and small things that surround us, we sometimes need a verbally expressed "push" to activate our brains and muscles. Personally I'm not a big fun of long speeches "Steve Jobs style", I prefer short forms. So here is an example from a guy with a symbolic surname:<br />

Well, I'd like to start telling that this blog is aimed primarily at those who like creating smth with their hands even though it may be something completely stupid. At the present moment of my life I have a lot of free time. Some time before I didn't know what I could use all this time for, but now such question just doesn't even come to my mind, usually I take needles and start knitting. And I'd like to share some ideas with the general public and will be very grateful to get some feedback from you... and maybe some ideas also :)<br />
<br />
So, today I'd like to make a post about how to make a little "kinda pot".<br />
<br />
For our future pot we'll need a box made of cardboard, a plastic bag, thread, stocking needles, free time and a drop of imagination. For the thread I chose acrylic thread, because it's quite resistant to water and other elements and it's also light. And the needles are #4 (4 mm).<br />
The plastic bag (or a piece of it) will go inside the box, obviously it's needed for our box doesn't get spoiled because of soil and water. It'll look like this (quite funny):<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifm7Uor0EDdUDHqtE6J107EBi1RMXY5u9OeMmQEtj7W8BPZJrmf5CcbWahjmnDfdqQafiD4XQgKfcP22789H04xI20DZcj6IEit38Cq7RlR6TMbzIVScUBz2c5_VTQgKnh4nLKBsFRspU/s1600/SAM_0166.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifm7Uor0EDdUDHqtE6J107EBi1RMXY5u9OeMmQEtj7W8BPZJrmf5CcbWahjmnDfdqQafiD4XQgKfcP22789H04xI20DZcj6IEit38Cq7RlR6TMbzIVScUBz2c5_VTQgKnh4nLKBsFRspU/s1600/SAM_0166.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then with the help of two needles we knit the base according to the size of the box's bottom. As nobody will ever see this side of our future "kinda pot" it really doesn't matter what pattern you choose. </div>

After the base is finished don't cast off, leave the stitches on the needle and increase on the other three edges of the base, like this:</div>

After that you may choose what ever pattern you like. I personally prefer smth simple, so for the next several rows I continued in stockinette stitch, and then I used the following pattern: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 row: the first and the last st on each needle - purl stitches, the stitches in between them - knit stitches.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2 row: first 2 stitches and last 2 stitches on each needle - purl, the stitches in between them - knit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Continue like this till this piece covers the box. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then continue in st st for several rows and cast off loosely, so that the edge rolls up.</div>

Then put the piece on the box.</div>

My "kinda pot" looks like this:</div>
