Ai grija de tine

Tot ce auzi de rău sau negativ la adresa ta nu pune la suflet. Un om sănătos nu vorbește de rău la adresa ta și la adresa nimănui.
Distanțează-te de oamenii cu intenții rele și care nu te ajută să evoluezi.
Viața e prea scurtă să-ți pierzi timpul și energia cu oameni care nu văd frumosul din tine fie ei chiar și membrii de familie.
Pune granițe stricte apără-ți sufletul și demnitatea. Nimeni nu are dreptul să te facă să te simți prost sau umilt.
Rolul tău pe pământ este să crești și să evoluezi frumos.
Persoanele care îți tulbură mintea și sufletul nu sunt potrivite pentru evoluția ta. Și de aceea trebuie să înveți să spui NU fără regrete sau păreri de rău.
Dacă lor nu le pasă de bună starea ta nici ție nu trebuie să-ți pese de ei.

În viața ta trebuie să domnească pacea și armonia doar așa poți funcționa normal pe toate planurile.

Working techniques for knitting

Sometimes we need to be pushed a little to be able to move on and sometimes we are forced to do that, even we want or not 🙂

I have decided to make a video with the techniques I have used for my Elven hat.

Please, click and watch and send me your feedback.

If you liked, please like the video, put a comment and subscribe to my channel for more techniques, to find out what I do, what I create and notions about knitting and crochet design .

Have a wonderful day and stay healthy,

1. Own your truth and your reality!

Always remember that gaslighting works because we give too much credit to other people then we give to ourselves. You don’t value your opinion enough.

2. STOP falling for charisma and charm!

Charisma is like a person who puts too much perfume on, to cover a bad smell of their body. (I didn’t know this, either! 🙀)

3. Remember! Just being smart or educated is not a virtue! The same is with having money.

Kindness and compassion are virtues! (Education doesn’t make anyone a nice person.)

4. Don’t get snowed by the successful people! Pay attention to their words and actions!

5. Watch how people treat other people!

6. Learn the people tales.

7. Become ok with setting boundaries to protect yourself by mean people.

8. Don’t be like enablers!

9. Stop giving second chances!

10. Surround yourself with good and kind people.

The most easiest BEANIE you have ever made

Beanie for a minnie 🙂
The spirals of happiness,,,

Did you ever dreamed to be able to knit a beanie in just 2-3 hours?

Well, with this method, you will be able to do it.

And it’s not even something new. Everyone knows it. Even you, if you are a beginner. You just need to know how to: cast on, purl, knit, purl2together, knit2together.

I have used Lofti DK – Mistletoe – it’s been a yarn that I have bought from KnitCrate. This beautiful yarn contains 48% Merino Wool, 32% Cotton and 20% Baby Alpaca. It’s like a beautiful dream, soft and very easy to work with.

The yarn is also perfect for the ones who have sensitive scalp, because alpaca wool doesn’t contain lanolin.

Merino wool, cotton and alpaca create together the perfect mix for eliminating the moisture, keeping warm and still, the air is circulating inside the beanie. I tell you, if you have kids who sweat a lot (like mine), this mixture of yarn is perfect for them.

To create this cute beanie, you need 4,5 mm (US 7) circular needle with your desired length. I do prefer the longest one that exist, simply because I love the magic loop method. And also DK yarn, 3 markers and one unique marker, scissors and a tapestry needle.

For all the dimensions in the pattern, I have used a minus ease of 8cm / 3 in

The tension of my work is for 10 cm (4in) = 24 stitches & 34 rows

The entire beanie is knitted with purls and knits and in the round.

For today you can find the details to create the beanie for your little mousse, with a head circumference of 46 cm.

For the head circumstances of: 30 cm (36cm) 41cm (51cm) 56cm (61cm) an update will follow the next days.

Casting on…

Using a 4,5 mm circular needles, cast on 72 stitches with your preferred method. Knit one, purl one till the end and join in the round. Work like this for the next 5 cm or 17 rows. Don’t forget to use an unique marker for the beginning of the round.

The “body” of the beanie…

After 5 cm, change the sequence. Instead of knit you should purl and, instead of purl, you should knit. Work like this for the next 11 cm or 40 rows, after you have changed the sequence.

Decreasing…

Now we have to start with decreasing. Count to see if you still have 72 stitches because we will divide the beanie in 4 equal parts and you will need 3 more stitches, which will be different than the unique one.

R2 knit and purl as the stitches require

R3 P3tog, (k1,p1)*14st, k3tog (p1,k1)*14st, P3tog, (k1,p1)*14 st, k3tog (p1,k1)*14st

R4 knit and purl as the stitches require

R5 P3tog, (k1,p1)*12st, k3tog (p1,k1)*12st, P3tog, (k1,p1)*12st, k3tog (p1,k1)*12st

R6 knit and purl as the stitches require

R7 P3tog, (k1,p1)*10st, k3tog (p1,k1)*10st, P3tog, (k1,p1)*10st, k3tog (p1,k1)*10st

R8 knit and purl as the stitches require

R9 P3tog, (k1,p1)*8st, k3tog (p1,k1)*8st, P3tog, (k1,p1)*8st, k3tog (p1,k1)*8st

R10 knit and purl as the stitches require

R11 P3tog, (k1,p1)*6st, k3tog (p1,k1)*6st, P3tog, (k1,p1)*6st, k3tog (p1,k1)*6st

R12 knit and purl as the stitches require

R13 P3tog, (k1,p1)*4st, k3tog (p1,k1)*4st, P3tog, (k1,p1)*4st, k3tog (p1,k1)*4st

R14 knit and purl as the stitches require

Now, leave some extra yarn and cut it. Pick a tapestry needle and thread it with the yarn and then put all the remaining stitches on the yarn and secure and close the gap with your preferred method.

You can leave it like that. It’s also very cute or, you can add a Pom-Pom or knit/crochet some ears, sew a mustache and there you have something really funny and warm for your little mousie.

Have fun with this little project and see you soon.

Bye, bye

International signs

Some of use use the metric sizing while others use the US, England or even Japanese sizing, when they knit or crochet.

I have gathered metric and its corresponding in US sise here, to “speak” the same language and for them to be handy.

Why handmade and why this site?

Hello, wonderful you,

My name is Ditza and I love to knit, crochet, sew…to create beautiful and useful things for the house or personal use. I also love to go in holidays so, maybe, I will also add some personal experiences from my travels.

That’s why, I felt the need to share this experience with you and, I hope, you will find some useful items to add for your personal purpose.

Handmade helps me to clear my mind of unwanted thoughts. When I knit or crochet, is like my brain takes a respiro from all the things I have to do or things that I should not think. Yep, we all have “thoughts”, right? :-)) Maybe, also yours are also loud like mine :-))) So, that’s why I do knit, crochet, sew. To clear my mind and to gain a positive mood. I need to have a positive mood, otherwise I would not be able to take care of me and my loved ones.

If you feel that you have two left hands when it’s about handmade, don’t worry. You are special throught other things. Maybe you love to cook, to take care about others, to read, to visit places. Just because you are alive, that you are here on this earth, that you breath, it makes you special.

This is my personal and first time when I create such content and site so, please, don’t be rush with me because I am in the learning process here :))

I love to share from what I know and I love to learn new things and to share them to the people.

All the knitted and crochet patterns that you find on this site are my property, I do design them and I do ask you kind to not copy&paste for reselling.☝

But, fell free to reproduce and sell the final product or garment for charity.

I will be grateful if you will link this blog to your created products, if you have created them after the patterns from this blog

You will also find products that I have created or I do create, inspired from other designers. Of course, I will always put the link to the direct designer.

All the pictures, videos, writing & patterns belong to me and they were made by me. If you have any question or suggestion, please, feel free to contact me.

My dear one, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for stopping by and I wish to return for new posts about this beautiful world of handcraft.

Bye, bye and see you soon 🙂
