Sneeuwpop-krans 2 / Snowman-wreath 2
Aangezien er nog genoeg wol over was voor nog eens 14 sneeuwpopjes, heb ik nog een krans gemaakt om weg te geven als cadeautje.
As there was enough yarn left to make another 14 little snow men, I made a second wreath to give away as a present.

Kerstwensen / Holiday Greetings
Na het maken van de krans(en) waren er nog sneeuwpopjes over. Met een Kerst en/of Nieuwjaarswens aan de sjaal zijn ze ook erg leuk om weg te geven.
Met een lusje op het hoofd kunnen ze ook opgehangen worden (bijvoorbeeld in de Kerstboom).
Little snowmen, with Holiday greetings added to their scarf, are fun to give away as alternative to a card.
With a loop added to the head they are also very cute Christmas tree decorations.

Lion Brand Emily Shawl
Een verlaat verjaardagscadeautje voor oma. Zo kon ik het garen en het patroon gezellig samen met haar uitzoeken. Het garen was fijn om mee te werken, al is het wel goed opletten om alle 4 de draden netjes op te pakken. Het patroon was vooral in het beginnen even puzzelen, maar met wat kleine aanpassingen ben ik erg tevreden over het resultaat. En oma ook!

Aanpassingen:
-ch-2 ipv ch-3
-ch-2 telt mee
-afwerking: langs de rechte randen een toer vasten ipv het golvende patroon
Patroon/ Pattern:
Emily Shawl - Lion Brand (80871AD)
Garen/ Yarn:
Creative Wool Degrade - Rico Design (colour 2601585, 1 bol van 200gr, 25gr over)
Haaknaald/ Hook: 4,5mm
Afmetingen/ Size: niet gemeten

Prinses Malinka / Princess Malinka
I finished x-stitching a blue pillowcase years ago, but I wasn't happy with the result. For some reason the design didn't work and the colours weren't bright enough. (I do blame the machine embroidery thread, although I have had some great results with it in the past.) So after finishing the cars-pillowcase, I started frogging the butterfly.
In the mean time I started the search for a new pattern with a high success rate and came across an amazing design. At first, I put it aside being convinced it would be way too large for my small pillowcase, but I couldn't get it out of my head. When I asked my better half to go over a couple of designs with me, he also fell in love with this particular one. So I started digging the internet for the actual pattern.
All pins (Pinterest) linked back to 2 sites: this one, where the actual size of the pattern is listed, and this one, with a link to the designers and their webshop: SA-stitch. (Warning: all sources are written in Cyrillic and Google Translate had a hard time translating.) Being unable to locate Princess Malinka in the webshop, I contacted the designers by email. It turned out that the Princess-series is not available for sale any more, but Svetlana Sichkar was so generous to send it to me by email. Thank you!
The pattern is well written (even when in Cyrillic) and easy to follow.
More info on the cars pillowcase can be found here.
Patroon/ Pattern: Princess Malinka - SA-stitch (more patterns here)
Maat/ Size: 92x100 stitches
