It is again the 1st of March and in Bulgaria we celebrate Baba Marta and give our relatives, friends, colleagues, classmates and acquaintances martenitzi. For several years now I've made it a point to make our martenitzi at home as close to tradition as possible. This year I had the most fun making the traditional Pijo and Penda. My couples are very amateurish and far from the pieces of art I've seen, but I'm fond of them, I even gave them names :))) The most interesting:
"The Rapunzel couple"
"The Joker couple"
"The Punk couple"
"The Big couple"
Meanwhile last night arrived my new yarn from g-yarns:
250g Kauni Artistic, Rainbow, 100% wool
100 g Lora&Festa, 10% cashmere, 20% silk, 70% merino extrafine
400 g Italian band yarn, 70% cotton, 30% linen
Can't wait for the extended holidays to start testing and knitting the new yarn :)
