WOOOOOOOH... 

1. New online store

2. New projects and ideas

3. Only two hands

SEND HELP...yes, I am busy. 

All I wish for christmas is... a knitting machine!! The major problem is- I've already worked on one but it was new and super expensive. Santa can't afford this pricy one so I have to find something second hand. And the problem is just here... In poland I haven't found any that are anyhow younger than 20 years. Which is, with current technical progress, a lot. Nothing is a rocket science to me, it's all about spare parts. What if needle breaks? Or any other relevant part stops working? Oh and you really should see how sellers deal with product  description -" found it in the attic, not sure if it works, 350$" I mean, really? ... 

So I started to dig in ebay auctions. Damn, time consuming never ending party, with even worse happy ending as I can't come and see the product. I mean, fly to germany ? France? UK? and post delivery? DUUUUUUH. :)

I am soo inspired by these morrocan rugs. Gotta make some collages and knit a nice cardi !

NEW KNIT *HELAKU* 

(full of sun) 

I am no fan of basic knits. I just like to play with 'em :) When I work i sometimes do freestyle knit- I do not follow any pattern, I just to whatever is on my mind. This way of designing will appear here more often as the effect really pleases me ;-) 

Nie zawsze odnajduję się w planowanych wzorach- owszem dają mi poczucie kontroli i jestem pewna że zawsze wyjdą, ale czasem lubię tak po prostu tworzyć z głowy , porzucając gdzieś z tyłu myśl że przecież muszę zrobić taki sam tył czy drugi rękaw, czasem i wprawne oko nie jest w stanie policzyć tego, co się stało. Bardzo się odnajduję w takich projektach i będę je robiła częściej bo po prostu wychodzi coś fajnego. Nie znajdziesz u mnie prostego swetra, przykro mi!;-) 

DAISY DAISY DAISY DAISY DAISY DAISY 

Another project- knit embroidery 

Haft na dzianinie- kolejny projekt 

Ps... ;-) 

I am no fan of gossip websites, but when I noticed these pictures with Ewa Chodakowska holding my design in her hand I must admit I felt extremely happy. She looks just stunning and I wish it was cold so I could see her wearing that cardi! 

Work work work.... another one for you guys! Can't wait for autumn xx

You saw inspiration, you felt potential. Now you can see the results- my temporary oasis of piece and sweet dreams. I said temporary for a reason - I'd love to move somewhere. So far I can't really afford it since my brand soaks money like sponge soaks water, but as we all know - nobody said it will be easy. 

So, I have cleaned, polished and painted  wooden pallets myself, and if I knew there will be so much work with them- I doubt I would even start. All in all it took me 2 weeks. The new things I bought are flowers and pillowcases, that would be it, rest I had already. 

The only advice I can give you if you wish to have sth done from wooden pallets- think twice. They're spiders nest. 

I should start from screaming out loud : HEY, I HAVE A LOGO! It took me a really long while. 

When I came back to Poland in May, all the attention was payed to #ochaknits. Labels, website ( still not existing ) orders ( coming along ) , new ideas (wish day was longer ) blog. It brings huge amount of stress but I must admit I love it. I do not regret any single decision. It was my dream to start a company on my own dedicated to designing and feeling customer's respect for handcrafted goods. 

Anyways, you really should see my new logo!

Its my personal signature. You should see my labels as well, but for that you got to order one of  my knits ;))

At the moment I try to collect knits for the photoshoot. Hopefully it will happen soon, I just have to finish my orders... :)

Eskimo cardi soon in black&black.. I consider pink&pink as well xx

I am about to make some little, but crucial changes in the appereance of my living space. White paint bought already, gotta finish some of my orders and eventually I will pay all the attention to all relevant details like flowers, dream catchers, curtains etc etc... Long way ahead, stay tuned xx

I spent time on gathering  inspiration from pinterest, also made numerous collages, please enjoy, maybe you will feel inspired  by the boho mood as well!
