First Knit Project...

On My Desk 365/268, originally uploaded by sardana_creations.

...after 9 years. A washcloth made from the softiest and most delightful organic cotton yarn I ever felt.
It was like riding a bike, even if I had to have a look what K and P do mean and how do they look like. How comes? Because I learned how to knit as I was 11 and with Russian instructions. Now I have to translate from English to German. Oh well. As long as I don't have a rubbish of four languages in my head I can live with it :)

I changed the border on original pattern and made another. My knitting is a bit wonky, kind of out of exercise.

Pattern: Two Hearts as One by Cathie Waldie on Ravelry, can be found here
Yarn: Bio-Baumwolle by G-B Warenhandels GmbH (pretty German, isn't it!), 110 m/50 g
Needles: Prym No 4
Finished size: appr. 20 x 23 cm/8 x 9 inches
Time invested: 1 1/2 hours

Happy knitting!

The Fun Of Swaps

On My Desk 365/252, originally uploaded by sardana_creations.

How I love swaps! I met so many talented and creative people from all over the world. This particular swap was a special one. I got to know an artist, Ariel of Pocketful of Pinwheels. You MUST see her fabric line!!! I got Willard The Gnome from her! As I first saw her designs I screamed 'she is THE rising star'!!!!! I really do believe it. Remember my words.

Thanks to Ariel I found the fun of blogging again. And she was very kind and blogged about our swap.

Wish you all the best,

Crowded Craft Desk At Home

On My Desk 365/262, originally uploaded by sardana_creations.

At long, long last I changed layout settings on my Flickr, so I can continue posting directly from Flickr which is way easier for me to keep blogging! Hurray! Not a remarkable step for the mankind, but for me.
So, back to my desk chaos which, honestly, is not chaotic, just crowded (thanks, Vanna, I was looking for this word!). I hope I won't stay here for long.
It makes my heart flip over each time when I see it, but it doesn't help me to awake from my hibernating yet. I just take a break and finish here and there pretty small bits of crafts. It's not the end of the world, I'll come back. Some day...

Happy hibernating!
