Rasos lašeliai/ Dew drops

Senokai baigtas, bet niekaip nepristatytas mezginys - skara Dew drops shawl, dizainerė Bex Hopkins. Megzta iš Ditekso Angoros ir vilnos mišinio, pradžioj gan smarkiai pūkavosi, bet dabar jau arba "išsišėrė", arba pripratau, nes be skaros šeriasi dar du auskaspalviai retriveriai namuose, tai truputį daugiau ar mažiau pūkų, esminio skirtumo nematau.. :) Labai švelnu ir labai šilta... Raštas patiko, tik kiek pabodo megzti lygiąją dalį, bet norėjau jos, norėjau... Dėl neesminio apsiskaičiavimo skara išėjo kiek didesnė, nei planavau. Bet tuo nesiskundžiu, tik kad mezgiau ilgiau :)


This scarf is finished a while ago, I just never presented it. It's a Dew drops shawl by Bex Hopkins. I knitted it from Angora and wool blend. It was shedding quite a bit in the beginning, but either this process is finished or I simply got used to it, cause my two golden retrievers are shedding as well at the moment. So if a bit more or less hair at home it doesn't really make a big difference.. :) It's very soft and warm... I liked the pattern, although it was a bit boring to knit the flat part. But it looks really nice, patterns are combined in a really suiting way. For some minor miscalculation my shawl turned out a bit bigger than planned, but I don't mind, it only took longer to knit it... :)

Dovana/ Gift

Maža dovanėlė kolegei, netrukus išeinančių motinystės atostogų (nesuprantu, kodėl tai vadinasi atostogom. Matyt vyrai taip sugalvojo :D ). Taip švelnu, kad beveik pavydas ima :) Siūlai - BabyAlpaca Silk iš Dropsų, baltasis kraštelis - gryna alpaka, irgi iš Dropsų. Žinoma visas tas gėris, įskaitant nerealias sagutes, iš ten pat kaip ir visada, kai tai yra ekskliuzyvu (pačia geriausia prasme). Modelis - Saartje booties.



This is a small gift for my colleague who is soon going on maternity leave. It's so soft I'm almost jealous for the coming little one :) Yarn is BabyAlpaca Silk and pure Alpaca, both from Drops. Of course all of that, including fantastically cute buttons I bought at the same place as always. For some reason, when it's something rather exclusive, its there I buy it :)
Model is Saartje booties.
