Hand made shawls for sale! 🎉 My relationship with my knitted shawls is complicated. To be honest... I do not use them at all! 🙈 And I don't see any chance that anything will change in this matter. I am moving to Sydney soon and definitely I am not going to take them with me, so this is a perfect time to find them a new home ❤️🥰 I have two big shawls for sale: 🌺 Find the Fade - green/pink/beige Booked! 🍑 Vertices Unite - cream/peach/beige Both are made by me a few years ago, from luxury and high-quality hand dyed (by me as well:)) yarns - a mix of merino, silk, baby alpaca and cashmere. They are enormous, light and warm, perfect for autumn and winter or colder spring evenings. They are used of course, but without any defects. Still in an excellent condition. I wore them sometimes during winters, but most of the time they spent in my wardrobe. The price for each is 45 GBP (+shipping) so it's just a yarn's cost. Even less;). I really would like to see them making someone happy! Maybe you are a knitter who likes shawls but hates knitting them, or you love them and must have them all, or you cannot knit but would love to have something hand-knitted in your wardrobe! If you are interested, drop me a private message 🤗
Saturday personal post. Nothing about knitting, just private stuff 🤭 We're moving to Australia 🇦🇺 and we couldn't be more happy and excited! Our biggest dream is coming true and that feeling is absolutely stunning 🥳💛🎉 I've never mentioned this plan here or any other social media, but even though it wasn't a secret (our closest relatives and friends of course knew about the idea) I definitely prefer to make my dreams come true than talk about them too much 🙊 If you asked me "Why Australia?", I wouldn't be able to give you a short specific answer. This is something which can't be summed up in one sentence. I could say it's because Mateusz got the job there, but it's not like that. He got it, but it's just a way to get there, not a reason. We're moving to Australia, because this country's so far from places we know. It's located on the other part of the globe, close to spots we haven't had the opportunity to visit easily from Europe. And we need more and crazier adventures! Because of the sun, weather, sand and ocean, nature and wilderness 🌴🏖️☀️ Surfing! Laid back lifestyle! And more and more... And besides this, something's just calling us. Like in the main Moana's song: "See the line where the sky meets the sea. It calls me! And no one knows how far it goes" 😂 Just that! We just know that we have to go to Australia, so we are not going to argue with an inner voice 💁🏼‍♀️💁🏼‍♂️ We moved to London exactly one year ago, and we absolutely don't regret it - I am so happy we made this decision last year, we truly enjoyed living here, and loved the city. It was such an amazing experience! I am so curious how many of us, my IG friends, are from Australia and particularly from Sydney? Let me know! 💛🐨🦘 We are still waiting for our visas, so keep your fingers crossed that it goes quickly and easily - that's the most stressful part 🥲 PS Mateusz of course got an amazing job and I couldn't be more PROUD of him!!! He is going to work for Google and for me it is just a big WOW 🥳😱
I haven't posted any sneak peeks recently, so you have some reasons to believe that I am not working on any new design, but... nothing could be further from the truth! 🤭🧡 Actually I have just finished a totally new design and I am right in the middle of another one! But I cannot show nor tell you anything yet - they are special projects that are waiting for the right moment 🤫 But I can share with you this one shot of details, without revealing too much 🌸 #marzenakolaczek #marzenakolaczekdesign #knitweardesigner #knitdesign #knitdesigner #knittingpattern #knitpattern #iknit #knitting #forknitters #knittersoflondon #knittingproject #knittersofinstagram #knitstagram #knittingsweater #mohaircardigan #iloveknitting #nadrutach #dzierganie #wzórnadruty #ravelrydesigner #knittingforolivemerino #knittingforolivesoftsilkmohair
I am more than happy that a lovely and inspiring chat with @theknittingshed team during the Unravel festival resulted in this amazing cooperation! 🤭🤎 I had this sweet opportunity to meet them in person and admire the work of their hands. And among all these beautiful yarns I noticed this one! The chubby, rustic and raw looking (but very soft and delicate - perfect combo!) skein of Peruvian Highland Wool, in an absolutely gorgeous warm and deep shade Penny Dreadful 🙊🐑 Mateusz was there with me and he appreciated it as much as I did! What makes me unbelievably happy because these warm and rustic skeins will turn into a textural, comfy male sweater for him. I believe it's high time to design another classic pullover for men! Thank you for your trust @theknittingshed ! Cannot wait to start working with this yarn 🤎🤎🤎 #marzenakolaczek #marzenakolaczekdesign #knitweardesigner #knitdesigner #knitdesign #forknitters #knittingpattern #knitpattern #iknit #knitwear #theknittingshed #britishwool #knitstagram #makersgonnamake #wool #rusticwool #handmade #knittersoflondon #knittersofinstagram #dzierganie #nadrutach #knittingplans
