2011. počinje sa... / 2011 begins with...

naravno, šalom :) Toliko o mojim novogodišnjim odlukama! No, mada nisam sigurna da je baš za utehu s obzirom na broj šalova koje sam napravila prošle godine, ovaj još pripada 2010. pošto je završen krajem decembra. Jedino je morao da sačeka lepo vreme da bi se slikao. Model se zove se Kernel i objavljen je u broju časopisa Knitty za jesen 2009.

a scarf, of course :) So much about my New Year's resolutions! Not that it should be any comfort considering the number of scarves I made last year, but this one belongs to 2010 as I finished it in December. It only had to wait for some nice weather to have its photo taken. The pattern is called Kernel, published in Knitty, Fall 2009.





A sad da pređemo na nešto što u potpunosti pripada ovoj godini, a to su rukavice Nereid. Predivna mustra, savršeno prilagođena rukavicama (prvobitno je bila namenjena za jedne čarape iz onlajn časopisa Knitty), vunica kao stvorena za njih. Vrlo sam zadovoljna!

And now for something that completely belongs to this year - Nereid fingerless mittens. A beautiful pattern, perfectly adapted to the mittens (it was originally intended for a pair of socks in Knitty), the yarn as if made specifically for them. I'm very satisfied!

Recapitulations and resolutions, sort of

  • kept my sanity during that

Plans for 2011:
  • write a proposal for my PhD thesis
  • do a sewing course

  • knit fewer than 20 scarves
  • knit a pair of socks
  • knit some soft, warm gloves
