Keeping myself busy

I have started working on this pattern I intend to sell as a kit. it will be a variation on my Poor Rabbit but this one will be called Funny Angora Bunny. made out of 100% angora yarn with cute little colourful silk outfit. He already looks splendid. white fuzzy and cuddly. so this kit I want to do is pattern + yarn + stuffing + embroidery thread + button (bunny will have a little cardigan). I'll show you once he is finished.
I have been busy dyeing my new lovely yarns and I can show you a little sneak preview :)

zacala som pracovat na vzore, ktory by som chcela v buducnosti predavat ako strikovaci set-ustrikujte si svojho zajka. bude to variacia na mojho nestastneho zajka ale tento sa bude volat Funny Angora Bunny-smiesny angorsky zajko. zo 100% angorskej vlnky s chutnuckym farebnym obleckom zo 100% hodvabu. uz teraz vyzera perfektne, biely ako oblacik, chlpatucky a makkucky. teda ten set co by som chcela spravit bude vzor + vlna + material na vypchatie + vysivacia nitka + gombik (zajko bude mat kardigan obleceny). Ved ked bude hotovy tak ukazem, ze. zatial je zajko tajomstvo.
Ale zamestnala som sa aj farbenim, tunak je taka mala ukazka :)

these ones are 1ply 100% silk, beautifull stuff, takes dye amazingly
tietok su 100% hodvab, farbi sa snad sam

handspun baby camel, little harder to get saturated colour
rucne spriadana baby tava, na tomto vlakne sa trosku tazsie ziskava saturovana farba

handspun angora, the hardest to get saturated colour...but looooove the texture, just like clouds
rucne spriadana angora. najhorsie vsakuje farbu, ale zato ta textura... hohohoooo mnami mnami

best thing at the end - HAND WOUND really really thin 100% silk laceweight yarn. took me ages to make hanks out of a cone, but it was worth it. oooh all the future lace shawls... want to keep it all, so hopefully some of the stuff will make it to the store. All of them are still wet, I just couldn't resist to take few pictures.

no a lahodka na koniec RUCNE navinuta tenulinka hodvabna vlnka (ja viem ze hodvab neni vlnka ale podlamna je vsetko vlnka, priadza je divne slovo). rucne som to navijala no uplne ako pipi na hlavu padnuta. fakt tenka vlnka. fakt tenka. ale naaadherna leskla, uz to vidim tie cipkovane saliky. snad sa nejake z tychto dostanu aj do mojho opchodu, najracej by som si ich vsetky nechala. Vsetky vlnky su este mokre, ale musela som nafotit trosku.

New yarns and bit of sewing

Parcel from my supplier arrived yesterday. what a fantastic yarns. 100% handspun angora is THE softest thing I have ever touched and it looks just like clouds. also 100% handspun baby camel is butter soft. softer than merino, softer than blue faced leicester, beautiful. Softer than anything I have touched so far. also, yardage is great 220m per 100 grams of sort of aran weight. Both camel and angora fibre is extremely lofty, and it is handspun so it varies a bit in thickness. Then I have ordered 100% silk in again sort of aran weight. It is single ply, glossy and pretty. Just have a look!

Joooj vcera dorazila zasielka od mojho dodavatela vlniek.... naaadhera, vsetko tak krasne, makkucke a uzasne. 100% rucne spriadana vlnka z angorskych zajacikov je ta najmaksia vecicka na svete. a vyzera ako oblaciky. 100% rucne spriadana vlnka z baby tiav nadherna prirodzene bezova vlnka, uplne jemnulinka. Maksie ako merino vlnka, maksie ako hociktora vlnka ktoru som mala doteraz. a pretoze aj tavie chlpy aj chlpy angorskych zajkov su velmi lahke, maju tieto vlnky az 220m na 100 gramov a su take no hrubsie, tunak v irsku by sa to volalo ze aran hrubka, no nieco take idealne na svetre. A pretoze su to rucne spriadane vlnky, hrubka sa trosku meni, niekde hrubsia, niekde tensia. Vytvara to super rustikalnu texturu. Potom mi este prisiel aj 100% hodvab, krasny leskly, len sa pozrite!


I also have 100% silk in lace weight, I'm about to find about the exact yardage. and it came wound on a cone and I don't have niddy noddy or skein winder or anything. yesterday I wound 100g by hand and it nearly killed me. I think that this one is about 1000m per 100 grams

mam tiez 100% hodvab tenucky na cipku a tak. akurat ze to je navinute v jednom velkom klbku. vcera som previnula 100g rucne (aby som to mohla farbit) a skoro som prisla o rozum. Zabava velka, odhadujem, ze tato vlnkama tak asi minimalne 1000m na 100 gramov. Presne parametre ale musim zistit.

...

and before that I had a sewing day. I made several pouches for storing dried herbs and stuff like that ( I plan to make a collection of ecologically dyed yarns as soon I have enough dyestuff). I also made simple pin cushion. I can only sew simple things. But fabric is beautiful, the patterned one is from Ikea, from Slovakia.

jeden den som mala sici, usila som si vrecka na skladovanie susenych byliniek a takych veci (mam v plane jedneho krasneho dna urobit kolekciu ekologicky farbenych vlniek, hned ako budem mat dost rasstliniek nazbieranych a nasusenych). Aj jednoduchy ihelnicek som si spravila. ja viem vlastne sit iba jednoduche veci. Ale latka ta vzorovana sa mi paci prevelice, je z Ikea, zo Slovenska.

Jezkove vlnky uz aj na Fler.cz

Hura vsetci na Fler! zatial su tam 3 vlnky celkovo.. ale zato pekne :) take pokusne 3 vlnky to su , ze ci je zaujem vobec. zasielka z ciny dorazila, takze tam snad potom pridam aj viac vlniek. trosku sa obavam, ze ci to pre vas zakaznikov v cechach a na slovensku nie je trosicku pridrahe.. co myslite? budem rada ak mi nechate comments. Jasne, postovne je trochu viac, lebo vlnky cestuju z irska, ale myslim, ze snad ocenite krasne prirodne materialy a rucnu pracu co vkladam do mojich vlniek... budem rada ak sa so mnou podelite o nazory. Staci kliknut na napis comments.

Baby Surprise jacket finished

Fantastic pattern, very quick to knit. I have used a combination af Noro Kureyon sock yarn, Araucania Ranco Multi and teal coloured yarn to get that colour effect. And I love it! So I made matching hat as well. I hope Holly will like it.


Genialny vzor, rychlo ustrikovane. Pouzila som kombinaciu vlniek Noro Kureyon sock, Araucania Ranco Multi a taku obycajnu zelenkavu jednofarebnu ponozkovu vlnku. Strasne sa mi paci, hura. Tak so mpre istotu spravila aj malilinku capicku. Snad sa bude pacit aj Holly.


I just love those buttons, they are a perfect match.
Superne gombiky :)
