Test knitting Ahelad.

For the last couple of weeks I have been test knitting beautiful pattern "Ahelad" by Anna Kuduja. When I saw Anna's original sweater, I knew I want one too ;-))  I am so glad I test knitted this pattern. Such a wonderful design. I enjoyed knitting this top a lot.  The pattern will be available on Ravely soon. Thank you so much Anna for the opportunity :)) I have worn the top today already ;-)) It is warm and stylish :-)
My project on Ravelry can be found here.

The yarn I used is very special too. This beautiful merino yarn was a gift from my Ravelry friend Borie. The yarn is ColourMart 100% Extra Fine Merino 10/28NM DK Weight. This yarn feels wonderful. After washing the sample bloomed and softened even more. I love the feeling of this yarn on the skin…so soft and silky. The color is just gorgeous :-))Thank you so much Borie for the gift :-))

Sending everyone warm wishes for the holidays and some California sunshine :-))

 Happy knitting,

Diana

Minsk in the Fall.

Today is the last day of Fall and I realized that I still had not shared with you pictures I took during my trip to Minsk, Belarus, in October. I will let photographs do all the talking. Here is Minsk in all it's golden fall glory :-) Enjoy :-)

Happy knitting
