Fingerless mittens

Hi!

I want to show you my new fingerless mittens. I always get cold hands while working on my laptop, so this is the final solution! I had a leftover skein of Drops Lima yarn and I crocheted them on a cold Saturday afternoon. I followed this pattern,

And here you have the result

Double side knitted scarf

Hi there!
I just want to share with you a picture of the scarf I made for muy 4yo girl. I wanted to knit something with double side knitting technique. I was thinking on an emoji motif, and I asked my kid about it. But then, she asked me: 'and why not a solar system scarf?' Wow! Let's do it!
So I worked on the pattern on Stitchfiddle, and I drew the solar system part, including asteroid belt between Mars and Júpiter, Pluto and Kuiper's belt. But I needed a longer pattern to make the scarf long enough, so I added an alien spacecraft, a couple of rockets, Virgo constellation (it's my girl sign), and a big comet. I have finished a few weeks ago, and I have also knitted a pair of mittens following Drop's Mr. Fish pattern. Everything was done with Drops Fable yarn.

Here you have a couple of pictures of both scarf and mittens.

 

 And here I post the chart pattern, it has 420 rows and 40 stitches.

I hope someone else will use it, please let me know how it looks!

Crochet backpack

Hi there!

Today I'm showing you my last crochet craft. It is a backpack showing Totoro motifs.

I used some Drops Safran surplus (the white background) and some Drops You. I made up the pattern based on this ravelry blanket pattern:

And in this picture:

  And I drew it using Stitchfiddle, which I think is really useful to make this kind of pattern.

Here is the pattern, in case anyone would like to use it. But please, do not sell it!!

It is also available in Ravelry:

Interesting research

Hi there!

Have you ever heard about knitting research?? I've just read about it last week, and I think it is so interesting! Thus, I want to share it. I am talking about KEME, Knitting in Early Moders Europe, an ongoing research project which began as an EU-funded Marie Sklodowska Curie Fellowship at the Centre for Textile Research at the University of Copenhagen.

And the best thing is that anyone can get involved! I just let you the link here:

http://kemeresearch.com/

You may participate knitting or reviewing the evidence and commenting it. And you can also subscribe to receive an eNewsletter reporting all the latest KEME activity.

Enjoy it!! Let's hope they will achieve great and interesting results!!!

Finished!

Hi there!

Just a couple of things today.

Firstly, I have decided I will keep on writing only in English.The two-column format looks nice but it is a bit complicated for me. So, sorry for the Spanish-speaking people, but I will just write in English from now on. And therefore I will practice my English 😄

I want to share this with everyone. I have finished my new jumper. It is knitted top-down, and this is the very first time I make something in this way. It have been a bit difficult, but it is already done. And I am very happy with it!!

The pattern is by Drops Design. Please visit the web, it is full of great and free knit and crochet patterns for everybody.

And this is the jumper!

Mucho tiempo sin escribir... / A long time inactive...

¡Buenas! Este año ha sido una locura y apenas he dedicado tiempo al blog. La razón de ello no es otra que el nacimiento de mi primera hija, entre el embarazo y el cuidado de la niña no he tenido tiempo, y muchas veces tampoco ganas, de ponerme a escribir aquí. Manualidades he seguido haciendo, sobre todo cositas de punto para la niña. A ver si me voy poniendo al día.

Hi there! This year has just been crazy, and I hardly spend time writing on the blog. The reason is the birth of my first baby-girl, the pregnancy and baby care let me timeless and lacking enthusiasm to write here. I've been crafting anyway, specially knitting and crocheting baby clothes. I hope I will be publishing these things from now on.
