cables

I made it again, this time I deviated from the original pattern.

I stopped at 4 cables and used smaller knitting needles.

I made it more like a beanie rather than a slouchy.

It fits much better my head and it's pink.

Some changes are on their way but the plan is still foggy, that knot is involved somehow ;)

Have a prolific day!

Anyway...a quartz crystal should do :)

work in progress

It's the first time that I write down a pattern. I always worked in an intuitive way with crochet and never jot it down on paper any of my projects, but I must admit that it feels good and right to do so even if it's taking ages.

It's quite Spring here today and the birds are singing really beautiful songs!

tropical and amazing

Monday and towards the end of the month! I can't believe February is almost over.

Yesterday we went to see the exhibition in Kew Gardens, it was a very pleasant 

and interesting little break.

I'm not a fan of orchids, until I discover that some orchids actually have an amazing scent! 
like the dendrochilum glumaceum which had a gorgeous scent of vanilla 
and so there is an entire glass room that will trigger happy neurons!

My friend Cristina, made the installation for the mangroves: a little village on the water.

Anita said she would like to live in the little pink and blue house surrounded by water, me too!

In the last picture the Thames (actually the bit where the Kew Pier is), the little isle in the middle is quite amusing and the beach!?

spring is in the air

As the weather is changing, the materials I work with are changing too.

The woolly socks and scarves will go in the shop in september.

For this spring, linen socks and more.

Few crochet dolls are on the making too.

I'm also working on the printed pattern for 'le chat/les petits'
Have a good start of the week.

I brought my pelargonium inside during the frosty days and look: it's blossoming!

super duper things

This brooch is from multi talented Louise.
I bought it a while ago and for some reason I was waiting to finish a cardi to show it to you but the cardi has become a neglected project.

Louise's blog and shop: I love her quirky creations, she's also a very lovely girl.

*We are recovering from a bad bug... slowly but surely!

Have a nice weekend and give yourself a hug (without bugs).
