I'm really touched to tears about how generous and care-giving the knitters' society in the USA. I posted a request for charity yarn on a website, and there were a lot of people responding, willing to give yarn and other notions. Which would be a great help for our little group. I think I should open a new blog for the group, and post our prorgress there. Or I just simply put pictures up here, indicating, that this project was made for charity? I don't know. I have so little time even for this one.

It was a long time ago since I last wrote.
I'm more and more convinced that I should open a yarn shop for quality yarn and notions which is unknown in Hungary. A yarn and bead shop, because do not forget, that I'm a beader in the first place. As we discussed with DH, it should be an online webshop for the start, until we could afford a proper shop.

I agree, but yesterday I went to see an available shop with a two rooms flat on top, in the heart of the city. I know, it was only eye candy, and maybe not fair with the landlord, but who knows, I might win the lottery this weekend.

I must tell you, the place is just perfect! The flat is small, but well equipped, and would be just right for us!!! - Eh, as my husband said: Dream Little Princess...
It costs WAYYYY too much, as I expected. But I had a wonderful time daydreaming how would I create my wonderful yarn and bead shop...

Now the nice stuff: I have a beautiful, funny looking guinea pig. She's called Lojzi.
I know it is a male name, but my daughter came up with this name, immediately as she saw her, so it stays. She looks just like the one on the picture, and so sweet! A bit of shy yet, but only 6 weeks old. She is happy when I cuddle her, and "talks" continuously, when I hold her. I said she's mine because I wanted her, but my daughter insists that she's her, so I leave it to her :)
I'm planning to buy a male for her for company, so I will have one of my own.
I already saw the right one in the local pet shop, and I tell you, he is a good looking little fellow. Just as punk, and crazy looking, but in brown and cream. And older, already 3 months old. They are so cute, I never tought I would like a guinea pig, somehow I've never been interested in this kind of animals, but now, I love them.

I guess this is a substitute for the second baby. We decided not to have another one, and now I compensate. It is OK. I can except this deal.

Still had no time to upload all the pictures from the camera, this is ridiculous.
Absolutely no time for anything! I can't wait for the summer holiday... it will be short, but I'm planning to get the most out of it.

Oh, I have a new motto, since I listened to Pink, who is I think a great singer.
'Find a new lifestyle - a reason to smile' - Which is I'm planning to do!!!
All the best!

Now, guess what? I started a sock! I know I made a huge mistake with the heel, but I was prepared for this. I'm happy I could manage the four needles. And one piece is nearly done. For the next piece I will keep the instructions nearby (which I did not found when making the first one) and I know I will make a super heel. If only I could make some pictures! But the truth is: I envy the time I would spend with making the pictures and posting them. Seriously. Every minute counts, when you knit.
So, only a cute animal again...
And I haven't finished the handle for the knitted bag yet... I know I'm bed. I'"m useless with deadlines.
I decided that I will take a small project with me to work from now on, and every lunch-break I will work on it. The problem starts, when I have no time for lunch-break. Today I brought my sock (of course) with me, and no progress yet.
Anyway, I think the idea is good, and hopefully will work sometimes.
Ah, and I made a decision regarding beading vs. knitting: beaded knitting! I will make bead knitted bracelets and things, just to make my DH and myself happy at the same time. Altough I have more ideas for that...
Just for those who are new on the internet: Flickr and Etsy is great to find inspiration!
Happy knitting everyone!

Eh, why not to knit what I want, whenever I want? This thing is about having fun at the first place!
And fun I had this long weekend, when I decided that I will start something with the beautiful striped yarn. I love the colours, and the yarn is so soft (65 % wool, and acrylic) and nice to work with. I also decided to try my own pattern. My first attempt to make something without a written pattern. I'm so curious how this will turn out. I hope I will be able to rip it after blocking, if the garment does not look good on me. It is going to be a wrap cardigan. I haven't yet decided on a few
details yet, it will depend on how much yarn I will have left. But I'm determined to buy more, if I need it. It was well worth the price.
Black top is on the rest now. Also I had to put aside that green cotton, which makes me angry whenever I touch it. It splits even if I have a look at it. Very, very nasty to work with. I'm thinking about taking it back to the shop to change it for something useful. I will have to ask the owner lady if she's willing to.
I had no time to try knitting socks yet. I will need some quiet and lonelyness when I first cast on for this project. I have no idea when will I have both.
I'm thinking about knitting and beading, so finally I could make something for the summer fair, and still enjoying it. Funny, how I'm not interested in bead crochet at the moment. I was crazy for that. I know I will make a lot more in the future. But this time I enjoy knitting and knitting and knitting.
I have a vision about a nice, soft, mid-grey pullover, with the kid-mohair dream on the top. I will make sketches, and look for patterns to make my vision alive. I know it is going to be a beautiful thing.
I wish I had more time and put on pictures. I will try this weekend.
