le col claudine.

remember my last collar? i mentioned there that a thicker thread makes for an edgier look. well, i thought i would put this into practice, so here it is:

and the back:

here i'm wearing a dress, but it would also look good over a white shirt or even a t-shirt or a thin sweater.

another pretty button:

speaking of anchors:



buttons and broken lines.

this scarf is a variantion of an older pattern, but this time i decided to use one colour and close it with buttons instead.
the pattern is a lot more subtle here, but also more charming, as it feels as though it is "revealing" itself to you.

 

i also like the buttons, with their delicate flower - motif:

you can wear the scarf buttoned-up, or you can leave some of them unbuttoned:

also, what is with me and all this pink (also seen here and here)?!  i seem to be more and more drawn to use this color for scarves.

length: approx. 50 cm

oxblood.

what makes this scarf stand out are the pom-pons (see also here), for giving it a playful look; the bow, for making the length of the scarf adjustable; and the colour: it's apparently the trendiest colour of this fall - oxblood (yes, that is a word).

and here is a detail of the pattern:

new.

i got a new series of scarves out!! i'm very excited about this bunch, i re-worked some ideas and patterns from my previous work.

what do you think? which is your favourite color?

camel and lace.

a great girly scarf, with a vintage flair. i like the combination of the flower-shaped lace against the structure of the scarf. it's probably the most interesting pattern that i've worked with.  and i have got a lot of compliments on it!

length: approx. 35 cm
width: approx. 35 cm

materials: acrylic yarn, lace

price: 60 RON

can be custom made to other sizes and/or colours 
please allow 5-7 days for processing!

the great pink.

for colder days, a bubble-gum pink double scarf, for extra warmth and extra optimism. i really love the V-pattern of this scarf, it looks lace-y and delicate, but at the same time, chunky and rough. can also be worn in numerous ways. a really fun scarf to wear!

length: approx. 120 cm
width: approx. 32 cm

yarn: acrylic

price: 70 RON

can be custom made to other sizes and/or colours.

the fall collection.

i have been feeling inspired lately so i've been working on some new scarves. i'm calling it my "fall collection", just because i always wanted to have a collection of my own :). here's a sneak peak...

pompous.

beanies are quite challenging to make, but i really like how this turned out! i always thought that pom-poms are cute, so i was sure to add one to the beanie as well.

size: made to match the circumference of your head

yarn: acrylic

price: 60 RON

can be custom made in (almost) any colour, with bigger or smaller pom-poms.
please allow 6-8 days for processing!

turquoise.

my "signature" model. this simple cowl is perfect to keep you warm and in good spirits.

length: approx. 66 cm
width: approx. 32 cm

yarn: acrylic

price: 40 RON
can be made in a large variety of colours.

zigzagzat.

long, soft, warm, colourful and stripped: what's not to like?! usually used for blankets, i decided to use the zig-zag pattern to make this extra-long, extra-comfy scarf. it can be worn loosely around the neck, or wrapped around once or twice, making it perfect as an accessory both for fall, but also for the cold days of winter.

it can also be worn as a hoodie:

length: 180 cm
width: approx. 35 cm

yarn: acrylic

price: 80 RON

can be custom made to other sizes and/ or colours
please allow 10 - 14 days for processing.

collar.

ah, peter pan collars ♥! an easy way to make an outfit feminine, preppy and downright pretty. it's currently my favourite feature in a dress or shirt. so why not have a detachable collar at hand?

size: can be custom made to sit tighter or more loosely around the neck

yarn: cotton thread.
it can be made in a thinner type of yarn for a delicate look, or in a thicker yarn, for an edgier feel.

price: 35 RON

please allow 4 days for processing!

(s)mitten.

a pair of nice, cozy mittens. the main part was crocheted, the band around the wrist was knitted, and the two cute reindeers were embroided. definetly my most complex piece so far, but it made for a very special gift.

dimensions: custom made to fit each hand

yarn: acrylic 

price: 60 RON

can be made in (almost) any size and colour. please allow 10 days for processing.

a dash of yellow.

consisting of a scarf and a crocheted band, this is one of the most versatile pieces: it can be worn loosely wrapped around the shoulders, as a cowl, but also as a tie or as a cute bow.

the scarf can be also sold with bands in other colours, so that you can easily change the look of the scarf and match it with different outfits - nothing prettier than a dash of yellow with a splash of colour!

approx. length: 85 cm
approx. width: 30 cm

yarn: acrylic

price: 65 RON, 5 RON each for the additional bands

can be custom made to (almost) any size and colour. please allow 6-8 days for processing.
