Does Ed Hardy Have A Brother

Yarn Bombing!

I went to Sweden for my vacation and I had to relate a book of knitting and crochet recess ... From Urban Outfitters and more: a store that we do not have in France: an exclusive!
It's a great book, full of beautiful pictures, small stories, international references, explanations of models and speaking of ... Yarn bombing!


kesako?

is the art create graffiti, knit and crochet, preferably with bright colors, possibly to convey a message, or for fun ... In fact there are many possible motivations, it rejuvenates a little more like the knitting and it looks very fun new ideas to express their creativity!


Impressive is not it ...?
And as I made my real tourist in Sweden, I've found a real Yarn Bombing Stockholm! A completely fortuitous discovery!


Too COOL!

Pain Medicatin Before Waxing

A small bag of marriage

That's it, I start a project from my Japanese Crochet Book ! A small handbag with a wire end, to go to weddings this summer. It is this model:


Except that I cheated a bit since I made the red rather than white. Right now I am red, I love red!

Finally, I opted for this: Hook 3mm thread size 5 DMC Petra (normally it hook for 1.75 / 2).


When I started the bag, round the middle, the project corrugated effect as if there were two times too many in the flower petals. It is because it's what I tried several sizes of hooks and son. Finally, it was enough just to pull on the ends of the petals to give them the right shape. I might try again with the first wire, much thicker, which I purchased ...

After waiting 3 weeks for delivery between distance (Japan -> France) and the Icelandic volcano, it is a bit long ... But do not worry, they are!


Found on Ebay shop, I was tempted to order everything but there are not too anyway ... My choice fell on a sewing book and another hook, my two favorite creative leisure. I tried to choose books accomplishments simple, because after all it is Japanese, and no I do not speak Japanese!

But that does not look that hard, after my initial reading it is the sewing book is presented as are the bosses of French BURDA, and I know it! When the book of crochet, I found the symbols of points in another of my books (in French this time) but also video on a Japanese site ! With all that, if I can not bring ...
