my new creation - a jacket I have been working for long

I fianlly finished a jacket I started knitting long before Easter,with a beautiful silk yarn I bought last year in a very good price! The jacket of cource was meant to be worn the first warm days of spring, but summer came, before it was finished!
But I'm pleased with the result:

Spring is almost here....

..........and I'm still working on winter things!!! I managed to finish and list in my shop a felt bag that was waiting patiently for months to be finished!!!

...... I finished a scarf that I have been knitting for me with the fantastic yarn that my good friend Susie sent me last year for my birthday!

You can find the pattern here :)

And finished a brown  bag .... 

which I hope to finish lining and writing the pattern before the summer comesι!!!!!

I also started knitting a long jacket for me .... which for sure will not be finished this year......

Athens knit & crochet group meeting

Last Tuesday I went to Bliss to the first meeting of the group “Athens knit and crochet” from Ravelry! For those who do not know Ravelry, is a big online world community of knitters! The group “Athens knit and crochet” was founded by Leanda who had the wonderful idea to organize a meeting, to get to know us better over a cup of coffee and to knit and share ideas about our favorite hobby! It was a splendid afternoon, I was very happy to meet known faces and also other members of the team! We had a great time and we decided make it a monthly meeting! You can read more on Leanda’s blog!

Last weekend I went to my hometown to vote and visit my family! I had the opportunity to search my mother’s piles of magazines and to confiscate 2-3 old issues of “Verena”! This is the jacket I found and want to knit:
