Flower cardiagn designed by Vendula Maderska |
Oh, girls - I am so happy that you like my Flower cardigan design. Let me tell you some words about history of this pattern. It was one of my very first patterns I wrote. I made first version of this pattern in my native language in June 2010. Wow, the time is running so fast! The pattern was published in creativ magazine Practical women No 11/2010 also.
There are many many many different flower cardigans being made since that time. You could take a quick look here and see some creations. That all is work of the handy-ladies from Czech Republic and neighbours from Slovak Republic also.
In January 2012 I wrote english version of this pattern, but... because I have no practice how to write pattern for cardigan in english before, it is quite different writting and quite difficult for me then as in my native english - it was wrote by confusing way a little bit. Everyone should have a practice, nobody is perfect! :-) So in July 2012 I wrote second version of the pattern. It was revised by native english speaker Norma (my big thanks Norma:-) ) , but althought I was tried hard and counted every stitch I made - I overlooked one stitch - and made mistake in yoke and .... OMG! I was so unhappy and frustrated about it ... because of you, because I know, how frustrating could be the counting stitches again and again and unweaving the work again and again.. I am sorry for that.
Well, I wrote third and I really hope, that last version of this pattern :-) I am quite nervous about it.. It is revised, tested several times by me and friend of my Josie. I spent many time working on this pattern and re-counting the stitches - and I hope, that this time, it will be clear and no confusing and frustrating pattern finally. I hope that you will enjoy crocheting of this cardigan. It is described in detail in two sizes - for 3 and 5 years old child.

In some of my older post I told, that I have to make a small evening purse for my friend Katka. I choose wonderful material, but during crocheting I found that it is not so nice how I assumed, so I had to proceed according to plan B. Friend of my Katka will wearing wonderful brown dress embellished by Phoenix bird brooch so I decided to make a small purse to fit to Phoenix bird.
I like crocodile stitch and would like to try it. I was looking understandable tutorial of this stitch on a internet for a while and then found one great website with step by step tutorial of crocodile stitch. Oh, how happy was I :-) Really great ! I though that crocodile stitch is very difficult, but I was wrong, it is quiet easy and very funny. I used my favorite cotton yarn named Catania by Schachenmayr SMC.
First I crocheted a base of the purse. |
Today I a special day for me:-) My pattern is published in Inspired Crochet Magazine No. Dec 2012. Maybe you know the cover page's image :-)
I am happy girl and so excited to be a part of this issue.

I will rise from the ashes …
… I have a beautiful life. I get to know and see so many wonderful things. But sometimes I see a lot of bad also and even if I cried all my tears of healing, it is not in my forces to help all, who need my help … I was blessed with a voice - so I am singing. I am singing to those who are not into singing. I am singing about love, desire, forgiveness…
… I had a beautiful and long life. I learned many wonderful things .. And even though I know that once everything is over, what will remain forever - is HOPE.
Hope that you can begin again and rise like a Phoenix from the ashes.
