Why I use English for my blog an IG account?

Yesterday my friend asked me: "Why you use English in your Instagram account?"
I am from Ukraine, so my native language is Ukrainian and also I know Russian from my childhood. I started to learn English at school, continued in university and now use it at work. 
This language become part of my life. Sometimes, I cannot remember some words in Russian, but I know them in English.
So partially, I decided to have my IG account in English, to have an opportunity to use it even more, to improve my knowladges and to express my thoughts and feelings in this language.
Also, another goal was to allow people that don't know Ukrainian and Russian to read my posts. I know that now it is so easy to translate any text with a few clicks, but I want to be a part of English speaking community.
More and more people learn English. This language can be international soon, who knows?
Of course, every one of us should use and remember his own language, but it is great to be able to understand people from other countries as well.

Learn new languages and stay healthy,
Tonia

How I learned to knit and crochet...

Image
Today I want to share with you the story, why I like to knit and to crochet and how I learned to work with yarn. When I was five or six years old, my mom taught me and my sister, how to knit. It was interesting, but I was able to knit Knit and Purl stitches, several patterns and that's all. Real knowlages I received when I was 11 years old, I think. One woman came to the school, where I studied, and gave free classes of crochet and knitting to all who wants. My mom was happy with this opportunity. Lesson were three hours long and twice per week. We attended these classes for four years. But, only now, in eight years, I understand how important and useful they were. We learned there how to knit basic and advanced patterns, how to knit hat, socks and gloves, how to crochet doilies and even how to create a little sweater, that I can wear on my teddy bear. I have big bag at home with my works, that I made on this lessons. Below you can see photos of some of them.

Big or small project?

Image
Which projects do you like? Big or small? I believe I should tell you, what I mean under small and big projects. Big project for me is a project that need a lot of time and you work the same pattern over and over. It can be something like garments, blankets and other. Small projects can be doilies, toys, scarfs and so on. I prefer small projects. The main reason that I change my hobbies realy fast. I can start to knit something and in several days I want to embroider. So if I have big project, I became too bored and want to start something new. That's why you will not find big projects in my Instagram feed, but I would like to tell you, that I have just started something, I hope I will be able to finish it and you will like it. I am looking forward to your comments)
