Packaging and more

Here is some of the packaging we have done in the last year:

Our logo is usually handwritten on our little bags, and we have made some special packaging as well, depending on the occasion (1,2,3). Below you can see the packaging of our Fringe Earrings series, that is -oh my!- reused Film canisters!!

our card!!

and a silly photo,

nooo we haven't printed our name on coffee caps yet! 

and a silly gif we made with Veronika, last April, but were too shy to show it:

see you soon!

Photo Review: KiP in Athens 2012

we love picnics, we do!
For the second year in a row we organised a picnic to celebrate the Knitting/Crocheting in Public Day (KiP Day) in Athens. We did it last year, and we wouldn't miss this year's!

 The place was the same, the Park of Freedom (near the Music House in Athens), same time, too, but almost different people! We had some regulars and some guest stars!

 Eleni, a member of our crochet team from last years, Artemis, a fellow crocheter and knitter, Dimi, also a member of our crochet club, Fotini, Eleana and Vicky who don't crochet but we love them equally, Panagiotis and Orestis (our brother and his amazing friend who both learned how to knit at last year's Kip) and finally unexpectedly Tasos arrived to surprise me and complete our company at this Kip!

We mostly crocheted, except Panagiotis who started knitting a cowl, Orestis, Fotini and Vicky learned how to make a chain, (basic crochet stitch). Artemis started a crocheted blouse with the bestest sand colored yarn, I was making some bows for our shop, Dimi was crocheting a gift and Panagiota was interrupting her work by blowing bubbles in the wind!

and we had some really good time! Vicky brought me the most amazing gift ever,  some purple alpaca yarn from Switzerland!! I was smitten! look at this amazing shade....
Still in search of a magnificent project for this yarn!

with a small delay, these are finally the photos that document what happened on the 16th of June 2012, to celebrate the international Knitting and Crocheting in Public day, by the Double Crochets!

so bye bye and thanks to everybody that showed up!
big kiss
Marietta and Panagiota

Double Busy Crocheting Bees

 Double Crochets' blog should be renamed to something like "Double Busy Crocheting Bees"!  We are actually on a creative fever! Today we wanted to show you, some photos from this morning's photo shoot and recite our latest news.

 We did the photo shoot to promote our new goodies:...earrings, hats, rings etc! As you'll find out, scrollin down, Panagiota was the photographer of today's photo shoot and I was posing, (ok I couldn't help and shot some, too). Everything worked pretty fine and I think Panagiota has a sharp eye for photography! Enjoy:

 This weekend, we are participating at the vintage bazaar of the rock 'n' roll 50's summer Cruise at Nafpaktos, Greece, that Rollin Foxes are organizing. If you are around Nafpaktos this Saturday, come visit us, the Summer vintage Hats, that we have prepared, are seeking new owners!!

Last weekend, we had another bazaar at the rock 'n' roll festival that we organized (avec Tasos and KitePark) the "Rockin in Style festival" at Chalkida, Greece. In the begging it was really windy and we felt a bit disappointed but later on, things turned out pretty swell and we had a lot of fun. There were live concerts and rock 'n' roll dance workshop, too. It's only rock 'n' roll baby! 

That's all folks!! I know we had promised you, the photos from Knitting/Crocheting in Public day, but ....I was overwhelmed from todays photos, that it had to wait. Does anyone else like them, or is it just me? What do you think of our new stuff?!!

big kiss
see you at Naupaktos
Marietta ♥
