It has been a really nice July, productive and interesting enough. 👍

I have had good results at my exams and successfully tested some considerable improvements of toys` constructions. One of the results of it is that our lovable crochet characters will -finally!- have rotatable heads. Personally, I waited for it for not a little time.

Also our programmer finally showed to us smth similar to a program which we tried to obtain since the beginning of this year; I hope to try to test it just these days. This program, when functioning well, must save us a real lot of time and to show, how effective is my own/alternative vision of some processes in online marketing.

Going on with the creation of three brand new winged tigers (yellow, bright green and purple), I enjoy many audiobooks now. And am happy to take part in the making them, dedicating some time to PLing.

Thanks to the lovable Lord for everything! 💛
And good luck to all of us in coming August, dear librivoxers!
Love & be loved! 🐳

I`ve been invited to be the King of the Hive :lol: in the following volume, but I`m indeed too busy now. To tell the truth, I believe I`ll take a break here for some time after completing my actual LV projects (about 20 books to PL, in total)... We`ll see... We`ll sea) 🐬 🐳

We`re leaving a good summer and dive into the great fall. 🤸
Successfully closing some projects on LV and having made three really nice tigers - yellow, green and purple - for a show-window of our workshop. 🐯 🐯 🐯

It has been a summer full of interesting activities and delicious watermelons) 🍉🍉🍉
Many people don`t like autumn, but not me. First of all, perhaps, for I`m born in October.

It also must be my last fall near the frontline. In January expires my contract here and I`ll have to come back to the civilization. ✨
I`m already looking for a nice vehicle for me. 🛸
I very like this one; and you, dear visitor of this page?

Thanx for reading this; stay safe & be happy! 🌞

Well, here is my favourite October! 🍑
It begins with a bunch of good news and I hope it will bring much of joy to you too, dear visitor of this page! 🌈

I go on creating brand new models and improving the present items of our family workshop - toys and furniture in a dollhouse. Just today I`m finishing a new miniature chesterfield armchair of a bright purple melange colour... Yeah, I have indeed a weakness for a purple) 💜
This is a really busy period of time! It seems it will be so till the February... of 2080, perhaps. :lol:

Among an ocean of other pleasant things, just a pair of days ago I discovered for me a really relevant event into my life in the form of a singer which I found absolutely out of the crowd of any others. Sincerely, music has a really strong influence on me and I appreciate it in a variety of forms. As some of you already know, I`m learning to play jaw harp and enjoy myself practicing it. 🎼

By the way, being so ancient in my 30+, the last times it`s more and more difficult to me to meet something jawdropping to listen to and to become fond of. And Eleeza Galilei (Yusufina X) revived my faith and hope that this beautiful world is still able to impress me. It`s so cool and I wish you to enjoy it at least not less than I! 💯

In this way, I go on with my handwork - listening to that music, LV audiobook and some useful and interesting things on Youtube - TEDx, tutorials on photography etc. 🐷

Eat, pray, love... Drink pu-erh tea, crochet, listen to powerful things) 🥂
Have a great weekend and the whole October, dear librivoxers and all good people! 👍
See you `round) 🐳

PS: yeah, there are some chapters accumulated to be PLed and I believe I`ll dedicate myself to it just today. ✨

I was so excited when I had made my first toy with rotatable head and limbs! The next step of my excitement was my own first toy. :) At that time I thought it was something unimaginable to be able to crochet without a pattern. :lol: But since then nothing seems impossible. :9: You may be struggling for some time but then you find a way to make what you want.

Yeah! 🍹 🍾

Where could I see some of them, pls? If that`s a commercial link, you can send it to me on Fb or via email (workshop.psk@gmail.com), for LV disapproves of the usage of such links on the forum. 🦝

Without a pattern?.. You probably mean the creation of the new model, which gives birth to the following crochet scheme, am I right? Otherwise, the repetition of the same toy in the future without such a scheme might be a trouble, right? 🦩

Nice to meet you, Nastya! 💐
Have a strong heart and a lot of joy! 🌞

Yeah, to create a new toy and writing down the process (though, I don't really like to repeat a toy). But, actually, I know a person who crochets without writing the process down. :shock: Also there is that technic when people crochet intuitively miniatures. I don't know specifics but there is such thing.

Yeah, nice to meet you too! :D

I don`t use Instagram, but it allowed me to see some of your works even without registration. Though we have consistently different conceptions of toys and even beauty, probably, your toys or better creations are absolutely to study, discuss over and explore. Out of the crowd for sure... Just as animals with butterfly wings, btw) 😸

Exactly... I don`t believe such an approach could suit well such a model of creating items as we use in our workshop, but that`s completely an author`s choice. Being a perfectionist, I study and improve our models continuously and it would be hardly possible without the schemes. Just as creating of correspondent master-classes, which we plan to do the next year. But those are only technical details...
The most important remains the fresh and effervescent fantasy... What you, Nastya, seem to have in abundance! 🌈

Be healthy and happy! 🌹

Thanks. :lol: Yeah, different. Even in types of yarn I prefere a textured one more.

Yeah, an intuitive crocheting is OK for small and miniature toys but it would be noticed on the relatively big (or more like standart in size) toys. I don't have complitely identical limbs even with the same pattern, so without it would have been a complete failure . :D Good luck with master-classes! :thumbs:

And not a Ukrainian one, do I suppose right? ✨

Exactly... According to the same scheme, crochet, and yarn, sometimes the same person can produce different in size pieces. Question of the mood, I believe. My own helpers, for instance, working on the same schemes, etc, make the heart-shaped coasters slightly different not only in size but even in geometry... Magic of crocheting! 🌻

Yeah, most of it is Turkish. Ukraine is yet to make fancy yarn, I am not quite sure it even has mohair. I only used трикотажную пряжу made in Ukraine so far.
