February finished projects

Here is "Purple Candy" as I named this pretty outfit for Bunny Rogers, from New York City in USA. Bunny is a wonderful artist that one day I will have the pleasure of seeing her art alive. She is kind, with a huge heart, a visionary, unique and such a special being. I treasured her as my best friend! :-)

Aqui está o "Purple Candy", como chamei ao bonito conjunto para a Bunny Rogers, de Nova Iorque nos EUA. A Bunny é uma artista maravilhosa, que um dia eu terei todo o gosto de ver a sua arte ao vivo. Ela é gentil, com um coração enorme, uma visionária, única e um ser tão especial. Guardei-a como um tesouro e como minha melhor amiga! :-)

The sweater is fitted and has high waist in vintage manner with set in sleeves

The skirt has the option of not wearing the ribbon

The skirt will have a rather large grey sheer ribbon instead and this will be the back view

Bunny loves vintage inspired knits and she gave me some freedom to create something for her based on her primary idea for the outfit.

A Bunny ama malhas de inspiração vintage e deu-me alguma liberdade de criação para criar algo baseado na sua ideia primária para este outfit.

The collar has beads and sparkle and the buttons are so cute

These photos shows better the real colours

Here are some sketches that I made for Bunny. She chosen the first option, but she didn't want puff sleeves and wanted ruffles on the sleeves wrists. The skirt followed with ruffles. She bought the stunning yarns, she has an incredible eye for absolutely amazing materials. I had such a joy knitting this.

Aqui estão alguns esboços que fiz para a Bunny. Ela escolheu a primeira opção, mas não quis as mangas em balão e quis folhos/babados nos punhos das mangas. A saia seguiu na mesma linha. Ela adquiriu estes fios fantásticos, tem um olho incrível para materiais imensamente lindos. Tive tanto gosto em tricotar isto.

I like to sketch my ideas and have lots of notebooks with writing and things like this

Here is a photo of Bunny in one of her exhibitions in New York. Have I mentioned she is absolutely beautiful?! :-)

Aqui está uma fotografia da Bunny numa das suas exibições em Nova Iorque. Já mencionei que ela é absolutamente linda?! :-)

Bunny is a princess

Did you check Jessica's blog yet? She is sporting a bolero that I knitted for her in a dark pine green from 1950s pattern. You look gorgeous Sweet Jessica! :-)
Jessica is another special treasure-gal, another best friend of mine! I don't have enough words to describe the brightness of this soul. But most of you already know what I am talking about, right? ;-)

Já viram o blogue da Jéssica? Ela está a usar um bolero que tricotei para ela em verde pinho escuro, modelo dos anos 50. Estás linda doce Jéssica! :-)
A Jessica é outra menina-tesouro, outra minha melhor amiga! Não tenho palavras suficientes para descrever o brilho desta alma. Mas a maior parte de vocês sabe do que estou a falar, não é? ;-)
Look at the cutest seal that is coming to meet Jessica :-)
You must read this post of Jessica, what a lovely encounter with amazing animals - seals!
I only have beautiful friends! How do I manage that... :o)
Thank you darling friend to let share these amazing photos by talented hand of your beloved husband, Tony!

The weekend is coming and I want to wish you a beautiful and exciting one! ;o)
O fim de semana está a chegar e desejo-vos um que seja lindo e emocionante! ;o)

  2. The colours in your awesome creation for Bunny are so pretty! They're sweet, feminine, classic and ones that you don't see enough of in today's fashion world (that's so often full of black, vibrant tones, and even neons). Everything that you make is marvelous, sweet Beta and I feel honoured to have not one, but two, of your stellar knit items in my wardrobe. Thank you again with all my heart for both of them.

    Endless hugs,
    ♥ Jessica

    1. Sweet Jessica, indeed, Bunny chosen beautiful colours for her outfit. Although the yarn is not very vintage style, I was thinking if the women in that time during 30s and 40s, had the chance to use the materials that are available on our days, what would they choose? Certainly they would like these pretty yarns with beads and sparkle from Bunny's outfit, because is quite glamorous, right ;-)

      Thank you so much for wearing Miss Beta's! I also feel honoured that you like them :-)

      Many hugs,
      Beta

  3. Wow, what a stunning two set of knit wear Miss Beta! I love the color, but your design is soo, soo, cute! The ruffles are lovely, and I just adore the collar. Such a stunning set.

    And I did indeed see that gorgeous bolero Jessica was sporting; another lovely project and such a pretty color! :) ❤

    1. Hello sweet Bonita :)
      Bunny's outfit is so cute and feminine. When I looked at the yarns for the first time and sketched the outfit... it just looked like candy to me, so "Purple Candy" it stayed. She is an artist, so she always will have vintage inspired garments but in a singular way and unique that belongs to an artist of our days.

      Thank you so much for the kind and fabulous comment on Jessica's blog, I read about the bolero! ;-) Made me so happy :-)

  4. I love these garments and also your beautiful design sketches! I've been admiring your work in your etsy shop, but your custom work is soooo beautiful!! I may have to swing some of my clothing budget your way sometime soon. (Just kidding about the budget thing. I don't have a budget!)
