Yarny things

Hello Dear Friends,
Cyprus is a very hot island; perfect for the beach but not so perfect if you are working. I found myself unable to crochet most of the time because of the heat, but My Little Man's school friend's mother is expecting a baby girl in September and  I managed to crochet a baby girl blanket.Ta-daa!

I managed my first internet yarn purchase.These lovelies came from Bursa, Turkey.

They are 100% cotton. I have lots of ideas what to make of them but I am admiring a version of granny square and I will give it a try first.
I also received my first yarny gift: My sister went to Berlin this summer and brought me these two 'beyond my dreams' balls. They are linen.

The colour is sooooo beautiful; something blue-gray-greenish, very difficult to capture in a photo . Best gift ever!
Best wishes,
Gaia.

The Beautiful Blanket of Hexagons Ta-daaaa!

Hello Dear Friends!
Yes! I did it! Ta-daaa!

Have a lovely day! Gaia.

My Latest Passion Is Knitting

Hello Dear Friends,

It is a fact that I cannot be blogging frequently these days due to work, but I am reading all the lovely blogs on my reader and sometimes I can even write a comment or two , too!
Long working hours are preventing me from crocheting and I am still working on my 'beautiful blanket' . I am working on the border now so it is almost finished but we have already started using it and it is such a luxury enjoying such a blanket.

The above photo shows my Little Man playing with his dinosaurs on my 'beautiful blanket'.

This blanket or the hexagons did not need any blocking; it is already like blocked.

Another thing keeping me away from crocheting , as you might have guessed from the title of this post ,
is  knitting.
I have actually knitted a couple of wearable baby cardigans, which I couldn't photograph yet, but here is a vest I recently finished ...

This is what I have tried to knit; I have made several mistakes especially with the yoke but it worked out and fits my Little Man. Later I  knitted one for my nephew too.
I hope you all have a lovely week! Gaia...

Beautiful blanket progress

Wow!
Two posts in one day! That is a record ! But I must show my friends the Beautiful Blanket progress.

Working with 100% wool in this heat is crazy! I  am unable to crochet at all and besides I have run out of one colour but I am off to Istanbul for work and  for sure I will have time to buy some yarn too!

Have a happy weekend! Gaia.
