Officially on Holidays...

Yesterday was my son's last day in kindergarten and now he is officially on Holidays till September. We also had some kind of party there and I liked that first thing he did when we came to join him at the party - he gave a kiss to his little sister! :-) So cute...

I know it will be hard to find them both entertainment for each day (we don't have grandparents or any other relatives near who could help, just we two), but I am happy he will be with me all day long. I like to have him around. He calls me his best friend! :-) Way too cute... :-)

But of course all this doesn't mean I will be on Holidays too... :-) I hope to share very soon some new patterns...

Knit-look Baby Boots!

And here is my newest pattern - crocheted Knit-look Baby Boots! No back or front post stitches!!! Very easy to make and the result is almost knitted boots! Perfect for both - boy or girl! Matching Hat and Sweater are coming very soon! :-)

News in my shop!

During this weekend I finished to write two patterns:

Sorrento Hooded Cardigan...

... and matching Sorrento Slippers!
The pattern for cardigan for the moment is only in size 3-6 months. Other sizes coming soon. But slippers can be made in two sizes - 0-6 and 6-12 months.

I am back!!!!!!!

I know, I know... it is been sooooo long time I didn't write anything here... I was coming here, I was happy for each new follower (by the way - welcome everyone!), for each comment... but I was just too busy to write. Big changes are happening in my life now, I would say - wonderful changes. I will speak about them more another time. Actually I have so many things to post about and for sure I will! I have many interesting projects I would like to share with you (and not only knitting and crocheting). Well, let's begin with something...

www.monpetitviolon.etsy.com

Today I listed two new patterns in my Etsy shop. It is the pattern for Baby Strap Shoes and for Baby Ribbon Lace Booties. Lower part is the same for both patterns, I would say it is a two versions of one pattern. I am sure they will be absolutely great for this time of the year. Both can be very easily made for a boy or a girl - just play with the colours!

Another thing I would like to tell is about one new Etsy shop, here it is!

www.loasidellamaglia.etsy.com

My friend Julia is running this shop. She is very talented knitter, and I know she has great ideas and many more patterns are on the way to her shop. You are welcome to visit it and keep an eye for more patterns to come!

For the moment that's all! But I will be back sooner than you think, with many other news! :-)

Miss Potter... Peter Rabbit, Benjamin Bunny and others...

Yesterday I watched the movie Miss Potter. And I loved it! It is so beautiful, enchanting and so touching... I will definitely watch it once again! Today I already ordered some of Miss Potter's books for my little one. Can't wait to get them! :-)

New Pattern - Cappuccino Mary Janes

I love cappuccino! I think nowhere else they make it so delicious as in Italy! Yesterday, when I finished to write a pattern for these Mary Janes and I was thinking about how to call them... I looked at them and thought about... cappuccino...! They look so soft, creamy... that at once I imagined cup with hot cappuccino, covered with steamed milk foam and cinnamon and chocolate powder...mmmm... delicious...
Well, I wish I could offer you a cup of Italian Cappuccino... :-) but for he moment I can offer you only this pattern which is already listed in my shop! Enjoy! :-)

New patterns...

I just listed in my Etsy shop two new designs:

Butterfly Booties...
and Cozy Baby Booties...
It is very easy to make them and I am sure they will keep your baby's tiny feet very comfortable and warm...

New pattern - T-strap Cherry Baby Booties

I just finished to write a pattern for T-strap Cherry baby booties. My little boy liked them very much, he was so interested about cherries... So, I think that for smaller babies it will be a big fun to wear such booties. Cherries are fastened very well so I don't think there can be any danger for a baby. I also like very much booties with straps because they stay on baby feet really well.

Booties... Booties... Booties...

And here are my three newest designs for baby booties!
Ruffle baby booties....

Old Fashioned Baby Booties...

and Two Colour Baby Booties...

All patterns are listed in my Etsy shop! Enjoy! :-)

Flower Mary Janes...

Yesterday we had very hot day here... it was around +35°C... it was so tiring and I wanted to take shower every 10 minutes... my little one also was in bad mood because of this heat, and even playing in swimming pool didn't help... we all couldn't wait till this day passes. Even for Italy it is quite unusual to have such heat in May, it is rather normal for July and August. BUT finally today it is windy and rainy and we can have some fresh air. :-)
Thanks to this fresh day I could finish the pattern for Flower Mary Janes. I wanted very much to finish it and list in my Etsy shop before I go on holidays. Yes, finally I will have small holidays! We are going with family to Riga, Latvia for almost three weeks to visit my mother and grand mother. It is a long time (around 6 months) I haven't been there. I am so excited to meet my family, my friends...
While I am away my Etsy shop will be only on half vacation mode - it means that I will still sell my patterns, but not finished products. So if you wanted to purchase something from my Designer Sample Sale you can do it till tomorrow... :-)

New pattern - Baby Ballet Flats

Simple but cute! Easy and quickly to make! Perfect to wear! They will fit to any of your baby's outfit and will fit both - girl or boy!

Spider Slippers for baby - updated!

I just updated my pattern for Baby Spider Slippers and added instructions for size 12-18 months. If you already bought this pattern, just write me and I will send you updated version for free! Enjoy! :-)

Simply Cute Baby Booties

My newest desing! I think this is the easiest of all my patterns. Perfect for beginners. It is so easy and so quickly to make such cute baby booties.

I used 100% cotton sport-weight yarn, but with yarn you can make experiments. I am sure they will look great with almost any kind of yarn!

Pattern is listed for sale in my Etsy shop!

I saw many versions of crocheted baby sneakers. They look so cute and I couldn't resist to make my version. Here it is! Now this pattern is for sale in my shop!
The instructions include 3 sizes:
0-3 months

6-12 months

Enjoy! :-)

Striped Baby Sandals!

My newest design - Striped Baby Sandals!
Last week I was looking for sandals for my little boy. We already have quite warm days and I am sure that very soon I will have to change my boy's footwear. I am obsessed with shoes, I know... I can't stop buying them for myself (even if I don't really need them) and for my boy (for this I have good reason - his growing)! Maybe also that's why I enjoy so much to create designs for crochet baby shoes.
I got inspiration to make design for these sandals from what I saw in the shops! They will be perfect for both - girl or boy!

One Strap Baby Booties!

Now I even cant tell where from came inspirations to make these One Strap Baby Booties. It is long time I wanted to make something similar and finally here they are!

Every time I make new pattern it becomes my favorite... till I make new one... :-)

Updated pattern...

On this weekend I decided to update my pattern for crochet baby shoes. It was one of the first patterns I ever wrote and thought that some corrections would make it better. And here it is!
Now it should be easier to follow the pattern, baby shoes look nicer and should fit much better on baby feet.
In the pattern I give instructions how to make these cute shoes in three sizes:
0-3 months, 3-6 and 6-12 months
If you already bought the pattern for crocheted baby shoes, just write me and I will send you this new version for free!

My newest design - Flower Baby Sandals!

Spring is here and very soon also Summer will arrive. These baby sandals will be perfect for warm days and will look so cute on tiny baby feet.

I enjoyed very much to make them, it is easy and funny. Now pattern is listed for sale in my shop! Enjoy! :-)

Poppy Baby Booties

I made these booties as a gift and they came out so cute that I decided to write a pattern. I love Poppy flowers and on baby booties they look so pretty!

Pattern is now listed for sale in my Etsy shop! Enjoy!
