Variations of one block
I started to sew small flat cushion and I decided to try Roman stripes. Roman stripes is square block, it consists of one triangle solid and one striped. Before I sew them together, I played with them and tried how many variations I can make. I gave up when I have about 30.
You can see some of them if you click to picture and go to my gallery on flickr.

Free form in blue
Scrumbles for my next free form project - bag. Different shades of blue, a little of yellow, because I like contrast between blue and yellow.
I didnot a lot of freeform projects before, but I like it.

WWWKIP day in Prague
Celebration of WWKIP day in Prague (Czech republic) was wonderful. I made some promotion on internet, there are two knitting forums in czech language I regularly visit. I´got response from 4 or 5 people. Finally there were more than 20 people! If I compare that with two knitters in 2007...
After meeting on Wenceslav square we went to yarn paradise, where took place Woolparty. Martina, who owns this shop, organised fashion on the street. Can you imagine how surprised were men they work on the roof of oppozite house?
You can see some pictures from Wenceslav square in my flickr, photos from Yarn paradise are on Martina´s picasa gallery.

Sashiko - japonská technika vyšívání/prošívání
Sashiko (čte se sašiko) pochází z Japonska, je to prošívání dvou až tří vrstev látky, které chudí lidé používali k tomu, aby využili každý kousek látky a zároveň vytvořili silnější a teplejší textilii. Při prošívání se samozřejmě snažily (vždyť to byly ženské jako my), aby to bylo nejen účelné, ale i hezké. Používaly obvykle tmavěmodré, indigem barvené látky, prošívaly bílou nití, asi proto, že barvená by byla dražší.
Dostala se mi do ruky knížka o sashiku, kterou napsala Susan Briscoe a do češtiny výborně přeložila Jana Lálová. Kurzy sashiko podle mých informací připravuje Bellus.
Pokud chcete vidět můj první pokus o sashiko, tak zde je. Myslím, že je to hrozné, vybrala jsem si hustou látku, na které se šije opravdu špatně, celé je to zkrabacené a nijak zvlášť pěkné. Ale Edison taky udělal několik tisíc pokusů, než vynalezl žárovku. Takže já to nevzdám, už mám doma kousek modré panamky, s tou budu určitě úspěšnější.

Knitted afgan - sampler
There were two reasons to start this project.
1. I wanted to make something with a lot scrap yarns I have.
2. I started new web with knitting stitches, I have to knit a lot of them, but I was sorry to leave them unused.
So I slowly work both on afghan and website :-)

Knitted pullover for me
I came to shop to buy something different but I fall in love with yarn in black a yellow colour. I wanted to have more of yellow colour on shoulders, because it will attract more attention to shoulders than my not so slim hips.
Sleeves are still missing :-(
