Hello! I’ll say right away that I’m not sure that this type of needlework is Slavic, I don’t know that, but the image that bears the pattern is exactly Slavic - this is ALATYR.

And one more work, I will notice right away - it does not apply for a competition! I just want to share with all my skills and achievements, and even more hope that it will interest someone and even inspire! This bread is prepared with a yeast-free sourdough, so it is not only very tasty, but also healthy.

Those who did not play with dolls did not see happiness.

Remember what attitude our ancestors had to toys. How they were taken care of, it was impossible to deliberately break the doll, throw it away. This attitude is not due to the fact that there were few toys, just the folk commandments were alive: a toy is alive. The master, creating it, transferred a part of the soul to his creation. Still, it was done by hand, to a specific person, in a single copy. The toy was not only a wise teacher in life, not only a friend and companion, but also a talisman.

The doll was dressed up, but the face was not painted. According to popular belief, a doll without a face was considered inanimate, inaccessible for the instilling of evil spirits, unkind forces into it, and therefore harmless to humans. Therefore, the faceless doll was both a toy and a talisman.

Hello, I am sending pictures of my chest for the competition. The chest was old and dirty, with rusty metal stripes and holes from rats and mice. I cleaned it, covered up the holes, tore off the pieces of iron and began to paint in between work in the garden.

Seamless sweater - knitted from top to bottom on circular needles. Raglan.

The designer of the sweater my husband chose the scheme himself and the color too, you need just this and just that. The result is a purely Slavic sweater. I barely persuaded to be photographed. The elastic bands (the needles would be smaller) and the neck, I would have tied up, but my husband does not give. Well, okay, let him wear it once he likes it. This is my second experience in jacquard knitting. I knitted on knitting needles # 3, 5. So as not to tighten the pattern, I switched to knitting needles # 4, I don't know if they do this. Unity Light yarn 50% wool 50% acrylic, 200m / 100g. It took 7 skeins of white evenly and almost 1 skein of red.

I will not participate in the competition, because the work was done quite a long time ago and there are very few photographs.
