Happy Sunday, dear friends!

Adiós is the monthly series of crafty notes and captures of this beautiful world.

March is over and spring break frenzy is gone - you can actually walk on the streets! I couldn't believe how many people visited San Miguel these two weeks! It was literally impossible to get through the town - its narrow streets were packed with people from all over the world! Though I absolutely love living in the international community, it feels so much better now. My favorite little streets are empty and I can finally "take" you on the walk in downtown.

The spring is here! It was my coldest winter in 3 years and I can definitely say - I am NOT a winter person! I guess I had enough of -40 C winters as a child, I am done! :) I love sunshine, warmth on my face and I love knitting when I can feel my fingers :) One of my favorite places is Jardin - a garden right in the center of the town. It surrounded by gorgeous architecture and it is the perfect place to spend a weekend morning - reading on the bench, watching people running, playing basketball, walking with dogs. I don't knit there though, I tried it once and it attracted SO much attention. People were staring at me like I was some kind of an exotic animal.

The town is in full bloom! I can't express how grateful I am when I walk along my favorite neighborhoods, I can stare at the houses covered in flowers forever.

Can you believe this door? In my imagination it leads to a secret garden or to Alice's Wonderland...

February Crafty Notes

March - 1 FO, 4 WIPs and lots of new yarn!

Ocean Dress, Green Snowflakes Cowl, Kram Crochet Cardigan, Bamboo sweater, Moeke, yarn addition.

Ocean Dress was my only FO in this month, but it was really enough! I love this project so much!

My long playing WIPs - crochet cardigan and a fair isle cowl - are still in progress. I have a feeling I will be definitely done with both of them in April.

I am so excited to keep experimenting on my knitting machine. This is the first time I will work with 100% bamboo and I have a feeling it will be a long-lasting fiber relationships.

My trip to Mexico City wasn't planned at all, but I am so happy it happened. Cotton/linen/silk blend is in my stash now and I can't wait to get to it soon!

The most amazing thing that happened this month is our collaboration with Ioana, the founder of Moeke yarns. This is my most favorite WIP, it will take awhile before our plans take shape, but working on them is such a blessing...

Technique of the Month

In case you missed it, here is the tutorial I've put together this month - The Perfect Neckline Trim. This technique can be used for any project (knitting or crochet) and with any pattern!

Instagram in March

Instagram is the only social platform that I was active on this month. I love this endless fountain of inspiration so much! I take so many photos of my projects that the blog is not enough anymore :), so all the extra goes to my Instagram feed. Here are my March favorites.
