    1. Hi, could you tell me which one of the bags you would like to make? I have made a few different ones and will be able to help once I know which one you are referring to. xxxx

    2. Bless you for responding! I found the purse on Pinterest and it was simply called Crochet Bag. It is purple .... there is a round flap opening which is secured by a white button. The body of the purse seems to be round. I didn't see a product #. Hope this helps and thanks so much for your help. Dawn

    3. Hi Dawn, it is a design by Medula - you can find it on Ravelry http://www.ravelry.com/designers/vendula-maderska or see all the different versions as well as free bag (different style but very cute) on her blog http://vendulkam.blogspot.com/ Mine is very basic as I hooked it when I still had arm troubles and couldn't do an embellished one like hers. This is her Etsy shop https://www.etsy.com/shop/VendulkaM?ref=si_shop Enjoy!

  4. Hello Magda - your blog is awesome - such beautiful crochet work. A friend and I were particularly taken with your patchwork blanket which we would like to make as a cot blanket for a friend expecting a baby. Would it be possible for you to send us the pattern for the square. We looked for it on Heidi but couldn't find it.
    Many thanks Di

    1. Hi Di, I searched everywhere for a sc square pattern and struggled to find anything. I then made it up myself. Will do a quick test square tomorrow and write it down for you.

    2. Oops, still wanted to say that it will make for a pretty cot blanket! Will add the pattern to the blogposting or can mail you. Let me know!

    3. Hi Magda - thanks for replying so promptly. If you could send the pattern to my email address that would be great! it is dianacbthomson@gmail.com. The full story of this proposed cot blanket is that we are all members of a hiking group in Cape Town. We are so excited about the baby on the way that several of us including 3 now living overseas are each crocheting 5 squares so it will be a joint effort. Maryanne of Woolhogs from whom we purchased the yarn in all different beautiful colours calls it CAL crocheting along. It will be such a fun project specially as we don't know if it'll be a boy or girl so we can incorporate a variety of colours. Many thanks Di

  5. Hi,

    My husband is flying to Georgetown on business. Did you ever fine any good yarn? I always send him out to fine something fun and interesting. I would take silk thread or silk fabrics as well but silk yarn would by far be the best. If you are in need of crochet hooks still I happen to have a yarn store here in Portland Oregon and can send a selection with him :) they are vintage and sell for $1.00 each but hey I would definitely trade a few hooks for good Malaysian yarn locating :)

  6. Darn-and I just noticed you have moved onto to another exciting country :( Did you ever find a good yarn shop in Georgetown?

    1. Aah Georgetown is a fabulous city! I managed to track down one store http://pigstails.blogspot.com/2011/10/yarn-shop.html

    2. The yarn in Georgetown is OK, but not great - Acrylic from Japan that is sold in packs of 5x40gr in a huge colour selection for around MYR 7-11 depending on negotiation skill and how well dressed one is (the better dressed, the more expensive ;-) ) Your husband HAS to visit China House, it is one of the places in this world I miss a lot. It is owned by an Australian, but the space is authentic shophouse and it hosts great finds http://www.chinahouse.com.my/index-classic.html Chai Diam Ma is another favourite and they sell of sorts of quirky items http://www.timeout.com/penang/arts-and-entertainment/venue/Art/title/Chai-Diam-Ma and https://www.facebook.com/chaidiamma.cafe Oh, he is so lucky! Georgetown is a mysterious city and not everything is "in your face" and apparent, it is pretty much a city that functions on "by word of mouth." Hope this helps! If he also travels to Thailand, be sure to drop a line to the blogger byHaafner. She managed to buy really interesting yarns in Thailand.

  7. Hi Magda!
    I'm so inspired by your work! Your Dainty Delicious Delicate Scarf is just what I've been looking for for this wonderful yarn I bought. Is this pattern available? It's so dainty - and so lovely....it's so PERFECT for some Malabrigo silk blend yarn I have that's just waiting for the perfect project!

    Please tell me the pattern - or even a chart is available for it. Though I don't really read charts - yet, I am learning - and something like this would force me to do what I really need to do anyhow...
    I look forward to hearing from you...my email is in Google database and should be available.
    Thank you for all of your beautiful inspiration!

    1. Hello, I have already drawn a chart, but it is so wonky, I will have to redraw it, write up the pattern and post it. To follow soon! It will most definitely look beautiful in Malabrigo silk!!!

  8. Hi Magda

    I want to make your beautiful Milla magic throw for my daughter when she heads off to University. I want to use wool not cotton as I am based in the chilly and damp UK! Would you have any recommendations for the brand of yarn I should use? Thanks very much!

    Catherine
