The best Easter present!

   OMG! This morning will remain in my mind forever! Happy blogging people, this very morning I found letter in mailbox! An usual letter at first glance, but when I noticed it came from UK and name on the back of envelope – I thought I was dreaming! I couldn't believed! I was happy!

 

   After 13 years from our last encounter, I got a letter from the dearest girlfriend I ever had – Natalija!

 

   We were going to elementary and one year of high school together!

 

   Ain't life just amazing? And I still have that happy smile on my face!

 

   Natalija is now living in UK, is married, has baby boy Harry and looks gorgeous!

 

 

   Before I go down the memory lane, will shift to … well, what else but two shifts I've been knitting this week!

 

   I am sooooo proud to announce not only I managed to knit all three Maple Seed Hats within deadline – I knitted them a day before deadline!!! I have even surprised myself how fast I can be when it is recquired from me!

 

   Ofcourse, attic hasn't been clean, family ate nothing but scraps – but this Knitter was happy! Still is!

 

   Three MSHs together (family picture):

 

 

   This morning little receiver came with Mom and I got permission to post pics. She is so cute (and shy):

 

 

   Now, next project was supposed to be cardi for Ana-Marija, but turned out she needs bolero with long sleeves! That information will make knitting shorter, and that's the main reason I am still bolero-swatchless. As soon as I finished this entry will start designing!

 

   In matter of fact, I had great will to swatch yesterday night, but I was way to tired hold yarn and needles, but was just in the mood for some mindless sewing!

   Errrr, problem – hubby was sleeping in bedroom and since it was late in the night I didn't have heart to disturb his sleep.

 

   So, I decided to do something I haven't in a long time – yarn dyeing!

   Last Easter Tatjana dyed her yarn with some egg dyers, so this Easter was my turn. 8 bags of dyer powder, 1L of water, rubber gloves, yarn … soak, soak, soak ... rub, rub, rub ... and hour later:

 

   That is quite small hank, but will be enough for little felted bag!

 

   And for conclusion of this entry – let me brag that Doroti really surprised me with a parcell:

 
Thank you, honey!

You are so talented. The hats and the yarn are beautiful. Lucky you, that package is really nice as well.

I just recently got reconnected with a couple of old friends from college. It's a great feeling, isn't it?

Cute little model with the maple seed hat! And what a good job you did on the purple yarn...my only attempt at yarn dyeing was a huge failure.

Those hats are so cute! I think it is best for the Knitter to be happy... family can fend for themselves!

That's so nice that you got back in touch with your friend!

Your dyed yarn looks terrific! And I know I've said it before, but I'll say it again, those maple seed hats are really lovely! No wonder they're so popular!

Oh I love the maple seed hats. What pattern is it, or is it your own design. I would love to knit one for my daughter too. Glad to hear that your best friend has stayed in touch after so long too, no wonder you are smiling. I cant wait to see how the dyed yarn turns out too when it is knitted up.

Krasne su i kape, a i boje! Meni se osmoškolska frendica pojavila na vratima mog radnog mjesta nakon što se 22 godine nismo vidjele...stvarno te baci unatrag - pozitivno! Sretan ti Uskrs!

Good chocolate! The hats are great and in times like this I wish I knew how to knit!
