The Gift-Project That Will Make You Fall in Love with Long Sweaters

The holidays are ending, and the usual daily grind is approaching. For now, we probably don't feel tired yet, but to maintain this state of well-being for as long as possible, it's important to remember some ideas or small rules. The list would be very long, but today I only want to talk to you about one: the one that helps you feel good, serene, and recharge with positive energy every day. The real panacea is to always keep your interests and passions alive. You know well the feeling you get when you start a new knitting or crochet project: you can't wait to get to work, and this enthusiasm positively influences your days. You feel lighter, you smile more often... and maybe you only get angry if someone or something interrupts you just as you're immersed in your work! And now tell me: do you like gifts? Good, because today I have a wonderful gift for you: one of my online courses! 🎁 The Shrug with Elongated Stitches Course! I'm not kidding, and there are no tricks or hidden catches: the course is completely free for you. Do you already know elongated stitches? I think so, as I've talked about them quite a few times. In my opinion, they are perfect for creating summer garments and accessories: elegant, a little transparent but not too much, versatile, and suitable for many different projects. They look great with both wool and cotton. In this online course, you will create a shrug with me that you can easily transform into a neck warmer or, if you prefer, a stole. You will learn to:
  • make elongated stitches with a simple method that reduces errors
  • make a swatch and calculate the correct number of stitches
  • create a small rose using the short-row technique
  • create leaves to combine with the small rose
What do you think? Do you like the idea?   You can create this garment with summer yarns like cotton, or with those more suitable for colder seasons. I have seen many of them, made by my students, and I must say they all turned out beautiful. On the Hircus Filati website, you can find many fine yarns. Also, take a look at the offers. So come on, let's start!!! ✨ Happy viewing! The Shrug with Elongated Stitches course awaits you at the link below. https://youtu.be/9E-qGfup46k?si=YkB8RwxZ_xAWY7xS Alicja Kwartnik for Hircus Filati
