The last months the lack of time has been my biggest challenge!!
The extreme work responsibilities of my day-job from the one side, the shop and the seminars from the other side, there was no time left for anything, moreover for my blog which has been left so alone and neglegted!

Last Wednesday we had the last lesson of both cources of knitting and crochet seminars! I can say, that I am kind of relieved, because I will have more free time to do things, but I also feel a little sad that the seminars are over, because we bonded together and became friends with all the girls and we also had a great time every Wednesday!

The girls has a wonderful surprise for me, which made me very happy!! They gave me a present, a set of Knit-Pro needles, which they knew I have ever wanted, so wonderfully packed in a fuchsia bag handmade ans decorated by the lovely artistic hands of Christina, with an also handmade card:

Girls!!! What can I say?? You are so terribly sweet and awesome, I have no words to thank you!!!! I send you all my love and hope we will meet again in September together with our needles and hooks !!!! :)

Knitwear is hot also for this spring-summer

"The edge of the yarn" is the title of the article of the new March issue of Elle!

Elle writes: "The designers grabbed their needles and left their fantasy free and the summer defiles were filled with knits of all sorts, proving that it's their year!!"

Κnitting, after it's strong comeback as a creative hobby, inspired the fashion designers too! Already the last two years we witness the love for handmade shown by the designers!

And if you thought till now that knitting is only for winter, to make warm hats and mittens and cosy jackets, you are wrong! There are gorgeous yarns cotton, linen and silk in the yarn market and fantastic light and airy stitches for you to make fantastic pieces for the spring/summer!

This spring summer season the fashion designers showed knits in bold colours, striped with large or small stripes, monochromes with lacy patterns, beautiful pastels long and wide, chunky or short!

We also show gorgeous crochet dresse, ponchos and knitted skirts and blazers!

Take a look at the pictures to get inspired and grab your needles!!

And if you haven't learned how to knit yet, now it's the time!!At Siempre Vivre knitting and crocheting seminars for beginners start soon! After you have finished the course, the knits that you see below will be a toy for you!Join now, the sits are limited!!!
