Does Black Pearl Work For Women?



Wool, wool ... and more wool

I'm ashamed to admit, a lot ........... but too shy to show ...
but obviously do not have it ... my pile of wool ... other projects ... Shopping, shopping and shopping ... I uploaded some
photos ...

many of these were for my rainbow blanket project

this is a purchase ... without project yet ...

this another purchase ... future pair of socks ... still waiting ...

they are for classes Susan, and Tunisian crochet ...




with it made a bolero for my niece ... I was more than half ...

acknowledge that at some point classified them in a box all summer or cotton, another cashmilon all fine, another thicker wool ... otherwise the loom ...











from here I used the red cotton Shalom twisted for my daughter ...





In this way I meet the challenge of Siona ...

Finally, as I happened to be at home a few days with sore throat ... and we know that there's nothing to heal the antibiotic, and the tissue bed ...
why I'm doing these ...





with this yarn ... which of course already had in my stash




Pattern: Cloud Bolero Ysolda of

The Cloud pink / purple Joji in Dream ... is Fingering and composition 60% Mohair, 40% Nylon, I have only 90 gr ... you knit with circular No. 5, and put the double strand. As I did not dare to weave the pattern directly in mohair ... I practiced first with merino wool that easily unravels ... also why did ...

The White Cloud in merino and angora wool and Frames , bulky and its composition is 35% angora, 50% merino wool 15% nylon. I bought it in the oulet which organized by Ravelry ... it is very soft but loses hair to weave. The knitted with needles No. 8 as requested by the employer.

I waist L for my daughter but it is great ... if not unravel or do for me ... the pattern calls for bulky yarn so I used this but it seems a bit rough in my size ... that is the question ...

Socks, stockings, socks ...

If I could be in April where I would like to go to Gran Canaria ... the Palace of the wool, and take the course of socks Pilar, if I could get out of the world, my work, my "duties" of mother and wife and take me, not a sabbatical ... but one month .... but there is no way I can not ... Leonel who accompany me in the practice of cursive, who would help with their English, who would take him to football 3 times a week ... no ... when school is impossible. But how nice it would be ...

Pilar also on his blog offers places instruct: Socks tissues Carlos, and tutorials for the inevitable Blanhnik Lolita, for here, for our dollars Carlaw cites two places where we can start the inexperienced like me: Liviae and Alain .

Joji past year we began to see some of this wonderful technique ... but soon I turned to make larger clothes and my better half became a UFO!

Now I propose to average in size little ... for my future nephew / a.
Anyway I have been doing small and soft colors ... What a relief for the hearing after both vibrant color ...

've woven my first bootie ... (Or second and last year tried to Saartje's Boot), I got a little big but I think well-formed.
Yarn: LHO tinged green.
Needles: 2.5 mm
Pattern: improvised memory of a friend ...



also knit kimono Joji again, blank
Hilad: Nevil of LHO, White
Needles: 3mm
Pattern: Garter Stitch Baby Kimono




Finally, I tell you I started the virtual course Tunisian crochet and offers, kind and selfless, Susan, from her blog Suentretejidos . Still have time to those who want to enroll.

The idea is to work with semi thick yarn, crochet hook to No. 5 and No. 8 Tunisian, draw up tables of 20 x 20 which can then be used to a blanket or other purposes ... I chose these colors ... is the first time that I will work with yarn as thick.


Any experience I have in these techniques but could not miss the opportunity to learn with a teacher and of course if it comes to square! So soon I will also show my progress in this regard.
