A visit…
| September 16, 2008 | Filled under Life |
This last weekend we were visited by Igor’s
cousin from Moscow. We’d a BLAST!!!! Victor
was soo impressed by a culture, nature with
all outdoor activities and lots of fun… and our
weather (no kidding!! Seattle is still spoiling
us an absolutely AMAZING warm and sunny
days) and last, but not least.. by great roads,
which is not typical for some countries 😉
We’ve visited couple beautiful cities near us, Alki beach, Snoqualmie Falls and
some others local parks.
But time flew very fast and we did not notice how these 3 days gone… but not
our memories, sweet moments and LOTS of FUN we got!
And a funny story is that… when cousin arrived, he asked
my DH to visit a store to buy a dozen of roses, a bottle of
Champagne and a cake (… a “kind” of Russian tradition to
welcome). Well, I am not a big fun of Champagne but look
what he decided to buy!! CRAZY person!!! LOL
… Now I fill I have to change my mind about Champagne 🙂

work on patterns and offer them for sell. So far, I’ve done 16 patterns and
plan to finish another 120 (no kidding, LOL!) of my past designs and 1000+
new in next 1-2 years, hopefully 😉
Also, I want to point You again at all these such Amazing crafty places like
Ravelry, Crochet pattern central, CGOA, Crochetville, One Pretty Thing,
Indie Quarter, Club Osinka and Eva (both in Russian) just to name a few.
And SURE, without them, I don’t think I would be or this would have been
possible!
And I would Love to THANK to all of you who have purchased my patterns

1000 times just from my site!! WOW, Thanks again!! Sure, things like that

I’ve created this jacket for Kristin for BTS… and the most EXCITING thing is
that it was our FIRST collaboration! My 6 1/2 old girl made matches bracelet
in Macramé technique and SURE we’re SUPER EXCITED about our FIRST, but
feel like definitely not last collaboration 🙂

I’m sure for this style will work any other furry or enough drapery silk, cotton
and other yarn blends.
Hand Knit Fur Cuffs – FREE pattern

There is a funny story with these Fur Cuffs. I created them in 2004 as a
compromise between me and my Kristin. I wanted to make her coat with
fur collar and cuffs (1st pic below), but my 2 years Wonder did not look
excited about fur cuffs 😉 So, I’ve made them removable and than found
that they work perfect as boot cuffs too…
Such a Fun accessories! Made from elastic cotton blend yarn and featured
feather-like yarn called Tecno hair that is very soft and silky. They can be
worn with any tops, jackets, turtlenecks. I also call them the Boot Inserts
and You can use them with ANY boots, whether high or ankle..
The eBook is available for download for FREE.
