nooking experiences

was a must try.here are a few temptations.my husband made me a nook as i was curious to see if i'm able to or not.now that i tried knitting  i can say that circular needles are not anymore a problem,lol.it is easier to knit than nook, still it has some advantages -like combinig easily crochet pattern with knitted ones so i will insist on it.i ordered  a set of 8 afgan crochet hook all nr.sfrom3 to 10 and now guess what i am nooking with them as i don't have all size of needles for knitting.

 happy crocheting!  .............ildi

about...........

well i didn't thought it will happen..another blog?aren't two enough?well if i wasn't too smart to give my first blog a subjectiv name like golden leaf,brain breeze,nervous fingers etc and pointed right on my only hobby at the time that was papier mache (seems i wanted instant popularity) and i can't change that,all the friends that are following especial for their interest in pm, it seems more resonable to "create" a new blog where to share my new passion as it doesn't fists into my doodle or paper mache blogs...crochet and knit.this time i will gather here(maybe) all the stuffs i'm making.many of you knows me already as cukipok so the name will remain ,just added a trif before.why trif? while i was thinking about the new blogs name i laid my eyes on a toy box of my sons and red traf..it was a little fretwork set forgetted long ago on that book shelf.i just changed one letter and checked on google translator if trif has a meaning i was so surprized to find out that trif means trifluoromethanesulphonylpyrazole lol.checking more-- that is a chemical compound a particulary strong electrophile--electrophile being positively charged species that are attracted to an electron rich center.literally electron lover.conclusion positively charged.i loved that.positively charged.so trif cukipok.positively charged cukipok.i like to think that i'm positively charged against all bads that happened in the past. ok here me again after an hour .i changed the blogs name from trif cukipok to cuki plus.i like it more..no more changes.......for now.
my new passion for crocheting and knitting started this summer when i was visiting my 80 years old active grandma.she makes all kind of crocheted stuffs,mostly recycled ones.so i started up with some recycled baskets and ended up with all kind of crochet knit knook things.it seams i just can't stop.quite addictive.
here a few pictures...
                                         this is my first pattern work and a few hats that followed.

these hats instantly found their new owner...
see you.......ildi
