This yarn texture and colours are so beautiful that the simple pattern looks really good on both sides.

I used one skein of yarn for this neck wrap. The scarf is wide but short, so I accessorized it with a pretty pin.

For my September small knits I picked Japanese "paper" yarn again. This necklace matches the jacket I made in June.

One of the fastest knits ever! And a great way to do some stash toss. This skein of Argentinian yarn (purchased in Buenos Ares in 2013) was forgotten and had been sitting in my stash for years. The colour was not to my taste, and I didn't have enough for a bigger knit. But it looks really good in these moccasin slippers!

One of the best wraps in the summer is something 'cool' - like this baktus scarf.  It is good to use linen, bamboo, or cotton for summer knitting. For this shawl I picked silk - the touch is amazing and it feels great!

The top is made of the Habu yarn - a mixture of so called 'paper' yarn (made from 100% linen) and silk.

The pattern is very simple - stockinette stitch. The edges are crocheted. 

Love knitting :-)  More photos of this top - in the Gallery

It was so much fun to knit this Unicorn Hat!
The hat itself was knit in the round on double pointed needles. Then I crocheted this beautiful purple horn and stitched it to the top centre of the hat. Then I made these two cute ears. Then the small roses. The last step was a colourful mane - each part of it was stitched to the hat. It was magic!!  The first try was on a snowman on a wonderfully weird April day - it snowed!  The hat was fitting very well.

What you need to keep yourself warm and to enjoy winter is to dress your neck. It can be a long scarf or a short one - all neck ideas work! For the two scarves I made for my daughters, I picked fluffy and textured yarn - two-colour mohair.

Stay well, warm and loved!

January 25th - Tatiana's Day in Russia - my Angel Day.  On that day I kept working on my January project -
Snowy Hoody.

This knit is a combination of hood and snood.
