Spring

I had some busy time lately. Life with two small ones is quite hard sometimes. They need constant attention, and when the Poppy-seed is sleeping and the girl is in the kindergarten I choose to knit instead of writing.
Anyways, I had a good last year knitting-wise (or crafting-wise, to be more precise), I wrote about it in my Hungarian blog more than 3 months ago. Well, there were mainly small pieces, but there were quite a few... and there was a curtain-sewing experience for our home, which turned out really well, but as we chose a plain brown fabric it is not as spectacular as practical. Finally the kids do not wake up so very early in the morning.
2017 started with sock knitting. I got addicted to stripes at a certain point, so in a short time a have knitted 3 pairs,

and there was a 4th one - a bit different -, but I never sewed in the ends of this last pair. 

All the socks were knitted in sock yarn, with 2 and 2.5 mm needles.
Then I made a hat for my daughter.

Then I finally took a deep breath and made a crochet edging for the tablecloth I cross-stitched about 7 or 8 years ago.

And yesterday I sewed a circle-skirt for my daughter.

She liked the fabric, and she told me she wants a skirt to twirl.

So I gave it a try.
As the motifs have a vertical direction (twigs with flowers) I could not make the skirt in one piece, so I cut 2 half-circles. The waist-band has two casings for 2 cm wide elastic.
She likes it so much that yesterday evening she asked me if she could sleep in it, instead of her pajamas...
Now I am working on some lace-shawls, I have one done but unblocked and the second one on the needles.
And I enjoy the spring.
