Featured Yarn 30. Cascade Yarns. Sierra. Cotton blend
| August 3, 2010 | Filled under Yarn |
One of my true favorite yarn for fall/winter projects and this season is not
exception. I was wonder that I did not post about Cascade Sierra yet ;o)
Sierra from Cascade Yarns is a worsted weight fiber made up of 80% pima
cotton and 20% wool. Cotton gives this yarn comfort as well as less weight.
Wool wicks moisture from skin, adds loft, memory and gives better fit.
Available in a large array of solid colors, this yarn can be used year around
for pullovers, cardigans, shells, wraps, hats, scarves, handbags and much
more.
great places to buy: here, here, here and make sure to check
eBay stores.

What is your preferences – and a GIVEAWAY for You
| July 15, 2010 | Filled under Commercial, Giveaway |
Dear customers, I was thinking to start using Merchant Account, kind of
a system which allows to get Credit Card payments.
If you compare it with PayPal, you can see 3 major differences:
- Merchant Accounts accept most Credit Cards from many countries.
- They don’t work with PayPal accounts. I mean you can’t enter your
PayPal email/password. - I, as a Seller, have better protection from PayPal based types of
fraud.
So I decided to ask a question: How tightly are you bound to your PayPal
accounts? And if so, will it be OK for you to use your PayPal card as a
Credit Card?
And to lightening this boring process to read post and reply questions…
Oh well, you know me, I really do not need a motivation for contests ;o)
I Love them so much and it’s always my absolute Pleasure! So today my
GIVEAWAY is for Euro yarn Kit in such Autumn rich colors, which is perfect
for your fall projects and includes: unbelievable soft Gedifra Tecno Hair:
1 ball in color #9634, 1 ball in color #06 and 2 balls in color #862; 4 balls

Cotton Rope (50 cotton, 45% acrylic/50gr/58m (63yds)):

Have you seen this? :o)
When I brought this picture for Kristin to look at her first reaction was…
"and what’s about rain?"… Seattle’s kid… ;o)
summer days…
| July 9, 2010 | Filled under Featured, Life |
… Oh my, where to start?! First of all, just look at these pictures, taken
by Natasha Titanoff! Funny that we are leaving in one city, pretty often
visit the same parties, I know that Natasha loves photography and she
knows that I’m knit/crochet. But I never saw her pictures and she never
visited my site ;o) …Well, I’m so glad it’s happened and below is a result
of our first collab… Isn’t the pictures simply ADORABLE?! I am so in LOVE
with Natasha’s Style and such Talent and with this little girl!!! She is SO
Charming and Pretty! Thank you SO MUCH girls!! You are AMAZING!! 
And below one of my new designs Headband and Scarf 2 in 1. Still need
to write pattern. And another one it is Coral Reef scarf/fingerless gloves
and flower pin set. Still need to picture it, but pattern is done and sent
for editing. I’ll keep you updated ;o) 
In the other news… I can’t believe it, but looks as we’ve got a Summer
here, finally! I can’t say that 96 degrees is my favorite temperature, but
at least it’s something different than 46 degrees and rain for weeks ;o) 
Also, we’ve had our friend Eugene from CA to spend this weekend with
us and join to celebrate Igor’s Birthday. The party was Awesome, well as
another ones too. We’ve had a BLAST!! …And sure a Firework, one of my
favorite thing since childhood, doesn’t yours too?! ;o) 
I Hope you all had Awesome and Safe holidays!
A Wonderful another one to you all!
HUGS,
Alla
