All my childhood, my mother taught me various creative activities. I crocheted and knitted, embroidered with floss and beads, made lace, sewed clothes, drew, sculpted from clay, and much more. I grew up in a very artistic family: my dad is a videographer, my mom is a vocal teacher and a craftswoman, and my sister is a photographer.
When I moved to Poland at the age of 16, I forgot many of my old hobbies, but I still continue to practice some of them today. This time, I want to show you some of my knitted creations and tell you a little bit about each of them.
Star Sweater — This was my first knitted garment in a long time. I finished it in just two weeks, despite preparing for my exams at the time in 2023. I still love wearing it.
Two micro scarves in burgundy and lilac. This was a trendy accessory back then, and I decided to make my own.
Two gradient sweaters — one purple, one blue. I knitted the purple one for myself, designing the sleeve pattern on my own. When I wore it to my technical school, my math teacher fell in love with it and asked me to make a similar one for her daughter — and that’s how the blue one came to be!
A forest and moss inspired bag — This was a birthday gift for my best friend on April 30, 2025. She really loved it.
Two covers — one for my thermos, so it doesn’t burn my hands, and one for my phone (I have a foldable model).
A long red scarf — I knitted it in December last year, and it even visited a beautiful Christmas market in Wrocław.
A red airy sweater — still in progress.
In the future, I’ll show you my other hobbies, such as embroidery, beaded jewelry, sculpting and painting polymer clay, and plants.
What’s one lesson from your parents that you remember from childhood? What did they teach you then that you’re proud of now?
Now it’s a mat for my cat — along with part of the tote.
