Irreplaceable wrap !

 Of all the ways of fastening knitwear, my favorite is the wrap!

It is so simple, effective and practical. You can use a button, a ribbon or maybe a brooch, everything is great and serves the purpose in a simple way. I used a large button on this splashed black and white sweater that I got from a wonderful lady in Slovenia. Such large buttons are hard to find and I am happy that I got them from a person who dedicated himself to making them. This is the link https://www.facebook.com/dolejsi.si

Kaja yarn is also Slovenian from Majšperk and is wonderful to work with because the knitting goes very quickly. This is an asymmetric sweater model, unlike similar ones I've made before. It is interesting how the symmetry is reflected not only on the bottom but also on the appearance of the large collar, which I normally adore.

 Wear sweaters - let's protect handwork!

Pleasant beige

 I live on the Adriatic coast, where winters don't last long and we welcome spring joyfully already in February. The trees have already budded and if the sun shines, we will have bunches already in the middle of next month.

 Anyway, I knitted the last winter sweater in a nice cream color with a cheerful mix of stitches. 

This winter, white or cream white was a must have. After several years of the dictates of black, it was a real refreshment. I hope that the






pleasant beige will remain next winter.
