It's fall!

It's fall. Finally...

If you haven't had a chance to "enjoy" summer in Las Vegas, you don't know what real summer is all about. Well, some of my friends claim they do, but I believe our local summer is the most "summery" summer of them all. 120 exhausting degrees, no rains, no even clouds - and lots of orders for the cold season! :)

Good news is that we finally have fall! Yellow leaves appear here and there, winds begin to get fresh, bringing some slight relief...

I love fall! Those chilly mornings and sunny days, warm and bright colors of rust and gold, fantastic sunsets... Awesome!

And of course it's time to think holidays! All things pumpkin, spooky and yummy. This is what I have for the coming season.

I believe spring is the best time to try something new. New style, new attire, new hairdo - something unusual, even bold.

For this spring I've designed Laced-Up Knee Long Mesh Leg Warmers. They're made with very soft and silky eco-friendly yarn, totally adjustable and simply beautiful. :)

Of course, I'm thankful to my gorgeous model. :)

These Leg Warmers are available in many colors.

Lake Mead, Spring and New Knittings

Well, it's spring. We're lucky here in Vegas: this year we didn't have a single snowy day, and it didn't get extremely cold. Lots of rains, but we really needed them. Our poor Lake Mead (the only water reservoir for the area) has almost dried out without rains last years...

Since spring is here for everyone, even for those who struggle with snowdrift, it's time to look forward and think of coming holidays. I have something new for you, my friends! These cute thingies were created last night.

Knitted Ribbed Egg Cozy Hats:

Funny Bunny Gang:

They're all available in my Etsy shop, PDF patterns can be found there, too. :)

Spring 2010 Colors

I just found a chart of the most trendy colors for the coming spring. Some my favorite colors! Is there anything you like there? Please take a look (it's clickable) and share your thoughts.

Chinese New Year

It seems, everyone is thrilled about Chinese New Year. Vegas is traditionally bright and politically correct (gamblers gamers are always welcome!).

MGM's Lion is shining...

  

Bellagio's Conservatory is amazingly beautiful...

And I thought I had to offer my customers something to celebrate Chinese New Year. Something really good to make The Tiger smile. Here are my ideas:

* Safari Scarf and Beanie Hat Set:

 

* Ribbed Striped Beanie:

* Jockey Hat:

* China is impossible without good tea. This orange cup cozy will make the tea ceremony even better. :)

February Twilight

I'm one of those (many) people who live in Las Vegas, but don't really like "Vegassy" Vegas. Madness of The Strip is too much for me, but all the rest is incredible! Mountains around the city, desert lakes, unbelievable sunsets, unique landscape...

This Treasury was inspired by the shades of Vegas twilights in February - some amazing mix of purple, pink, blue, and green.

2010 Winter Olympics Accessory

Winter Olympics are approaching, and several days ago I received a wonderful custom order for an evid sports fan. :)

This cup cozy had to represent team colors (blue/yellow) and be as functional as possible. I used a wonderful wool blend yarn and a matching star button. The guy was really happy, feedback was fantastic.
