    Hi Vita!
    I was very happy to find your blog!
    I am a crochet lover, and coming to live at Trieste this summer. The kids at school so I’ll have a lot of time to crochet…
    I loved your work, a lot to learn from you..
    Are there any yarn shops in Trieste? I need to know whether to bring a yarn stoke with me.
    All the best

    Hi Reut,

    How interesting! And where are you coming from?
    Yes, there are a few yarn shops here, but I almost never buy anything from them… they are just too expensive… I prefer online shops or buy some local yarn on the markets, when it is possible.

    Best,
    Vita

      Hi Vita!
      I’m coming from Israel, and here you can find nice yarn, not expensive. We are moving to Trieste in the summer, but this week I will be in Trieste for house selecting (and looking at yarn and fabrics to..).
      If you can, please send me an address of one of these shops.
      Thanks!
      Reut.

    Dear Vita, sorry if I write here but I can’t find an e-mail address. I’m Sandra from Italy and I’m the owner of the Italian blog http://theslowcatwalk.blogspot.it/ which deals with sustainable fashion.
    I’ve discovered your creations on Pinterest few months ago and immediately love them. With other Italian bloggers I run a weekly column about marinière and breton style called #rubriga: a wordplay between “rubrica” that in Italian means column and “riga” which meaning is stripe. Last tuesday was my turn and I’ve featured one of your creations (obviously linked back to your site) on my post. Hope you appreciate it:)
    Best regards
    Sandra

    Hello Vita, I love your patterns and have many of them. Would you think of making a Double Breasted Coat Pattern, maybe with a collar or hood? I thought I would just ask. Thank you so much for your designs.

    With regard to the CrochetTiered Dress, is there any errata, or am I just reading and seeing incorrectly? The photo does not match up with the instructions. Could you please help out? Thank you.

      Hello,

      No, there is no errata. But which photos don’t match instructions? I am always ready to help, but I need to know exactly in which row/round something is going wrong. You can reach to me via email: monpetitviolondesigns@yahoo.com
      Thank you!

    I have today purchased some more of your wonderful patterns. Thank you for the discount today.
    Unfortunately I have re-purchased the flutter shrug after having already bought it on 19/6/16.
    I wonder if I could please have a credit or choose another pattern in its place?

    Hello Vita, I love your patterns. I have a question about your shawl that was included in the ‘Netflix bundle. Your pattern say to continue with row 5 and 6 until you have the desired width, but could you please let me know the width of the shawl in the picture for the pattern. It looks lovely and it sitting well. I would like to make one the same size. Thank you. Cath

    I am looking for a sweater pattern for a girl’s size ten. I see sweaters for younger children and for adults. Can I adapt one of those.

    I love your patterns. I’ve made several baby ones but my grandchildren are growing.

    Hi Vita I’ve just came across your work and it is adorable I’ve purchased a couple of your patterns thus far .
    I have a question about them before I begin I am wondering if your crochet terms are uk or American terms as I’ve looked over the pattern and it doesn’t mention which it is . Thank you . Liz

      Hi,
      Thank you for buying my patterns!
      All my patterns are written in US crochet terms. Tip: it is easy to check – if the pattern has sc stitch it means it’s in US terms. In UK terms sc doesn’t exist. Hope this helps. Vita
