Short Good Volleyball

Knit & Crochet Blog Week - Knit One Great Knitter


The theme of today (translation by Knit Spirit ):
A knitter / A knitter brilliant (e)
Write about a knitter / a knitter whose work (whether for the choice of a project, a photo, style, range of projects, the stock of wool ...) t'enthousiasme. If he / she has an enjoyable blog, you might find it a good opportunity to send a smile.

On today's topic, I dry a bit ... I have no idol crochet or knit! : D Of course, I admired my grandmother when I was little: we made it of little sweaters for our dolls.

A project that excites me is really Wool and the Gang . They were able to give a young, trendy and super easy to talk to knitting! One has only to see their blog, the photos are beautiful, they were opening their first store with celebrities like Miss The Virgin Suicides Kirsten Dunst. Wool and the Gang is really the Top Fashion in the field of knitting!


And with that course ... Prices are rather Fashion ... It's super expensive!

Anyway, I'm appreciative, because they are girls who have mounted a huge project fashion, fashion (price included), international and knitting: what is still a big challenge to overcome. Now I guess they live on their business: and it is a winner!

Hiv Testnegative At 13 Month

Hook & Weekend Blog - An Inspirational


This time I'll copy-paste the translation of the theme of the day by Knit Spirit :
A charismatic boss
Write an article about a boss or project to which you aspire. Whether it's because you did not yet have the skills to make it or just because it seems to require much time and dedication, most people feel the need to aspire to something in their art. If you think you have no knowledge of any mountain to climb, say it!

Well then, my challenge of the moment, that seems totally insurmountable, it is learn to knit twists! I started studying it this weekend and my darling I even filmed in full reflection ... and raising his head to say no I got it!
Well, hey I was tired, but I'll do it!

And the goal is actually to make this:

Mittens Bella!
Yes, yes, Bella from Twilight!

Arg, I confess I am a fan, it's a little hard to take: I'm a fan of a movie working girls ... music and books especially! The actress, but less of the actor in fact ...

short, I deviate, this pattern is SubliminalRabbit . It's just my next goal, the more I see the photo and the more I tell myself it's gonna be hot ... I'm far from knowing everything to knit and crochet!

Oral Herpes In A Toddler

Pattern Knit & Crochet Blog Week - Starting Out



So I begin today's topic is: How I started knitting and crocheting?

In fact I rather started by hacks, sewing dresses for my Barbie tubiques pants missed ... So mostly what dresses! My mommy let me use his generous sewing box ... Finally, it seems to me rather that I went there when she was not digging it: play with needles to 7 years is wrong!

Also in these ages, I liked tinkering shoeboxes to make doll houses, and manufacture anything cute for my dolls made from scraps of fabric, wool , carpet scraps, cardboard, plastic, glue, thread and needles! And all this, any alone as a great, waaaaaou! Because I wanted to make cute stuff, and apparently this is a taste that I stayed!

My first steps with the hook, it was with my mother: Necklaces, meshed with a No. 3 hook and wool RED! (Did you see that as I recall my Moune!) She taught me the basics small, but then I learned with books, magazines, found in the attic and bought. And as I was always under the theme "dolls", I was making little clothes for my mini mini smaller dolls: and yes smaller is faster and it's over!


For knitting, I started much later, the same principle was bored of knitting, I found it far too long to realize ! But then I realized that most of the commercially available models were knitted and I conquered my fear and I got into it! In the footsteps of my grandmother this time I started doing mini square ... But I really attacked big projects for 2 years only: scarves and caps ... and sweat that I still have not finished!


I'm back on the hook and find lots of websites on amigurumis: These charming little corny one realizes the hook, which are useless, but are so cute! Last winter my Christmas Tux crochet have quite liked! What motivates me to continue!


Voili voilou the story of my beginnings in crochet and knitting is an activity that I like because it is creative, zen, comfortable: wool very soft on the fingers sitting on the sofa 'in winter a good film is tip top!
