Many W.I.P. !!!

WIP: tea towel!


So many ideas that pop every hour in my mind!!!! My hands are so impatient to start each crafty plan that I've started different projects and the time is never enough to complete any of them......Probably there are too many wip in the house right now....




This is my first owl! One day he/she will be ready to fly to the house of a very good friend of mine......




What about these ones? Except for the first one on the left (it was my first attempt!), I'm in love with the bright colours of these chunky cuffs.....




Another one on the knitting needles! They are fast and so simple to knit (and so addictive!).......




Oh yes, a bag! I've knitted this one some time ago and I'm not so happy about the colours selection....Probably I should complete the sewing and it could be I'll fall in love with this bag, too! I hope!

A useful tip to the ones who like to knit with more than one yarn/cotton threads at a time like I always do!




Collect a shoes box and on the top of it make holes (as many as you need). I've made four of them and in the future I can add more if I need to knit with more colours. Then open the box....




....and put inside the yarn/cotton balls you will use in your project. From each ball pull a lenght of thread and let it passes in one hole from the inside to the outside of the box lid! Easy peasy!




 So you can knit whatever you like without the constant nightmare to stop your work every few minutes to untangle the threads.....!!!!




I conclude my show with a batch of felt swirlies....YUMMY!

See you soon, xxx

Make it ! The Granny Yarn Chain !!!

ARE YOU READY FOR THIS ???? SURE YOU ARE !!! I now that!!!! ;oD So during this last week I was showing you via Instagram (see  my personal feed ) some colourful pictures about my new crochet w.i.p. , which I completed last night ... ... so this morning, before school/office time a couple of boys helped me with the last photos for this blog post ... TA-DAH ... The beauty of this project resides in the fact that is adaptable to any extent, any kind of yarn and any corner of your home (in or out!) !!! The inspiration and "creative kick" derives from two other projects I've seen around :  The Chain Statement Necklace  by my dear friend Miki from  Set Free My Gypsy Soul  and  Peggy's Comfy Indoors Blanket  by Pip Lincoln from  Meet Me at Mike's  !!! Thank you both, girls !!! It has been a long time since I've been wanting to crochet (or even knit !) a paper chain ... I made some long paper chains for our Christmas tree back in Indonesia but I al

Make it ! Knitted triangular scarf !!!

Last December, I saw a very simple and cute scarf knitted by Angie ( le monde de sucrette) and I thought to knit one for me, too, but then I was busy with the gifts to prepare for family and friends back in Italy .... so nothing was done for me!!! Luckily, some days ago, while browsing through my blogs list, I found a post from Ilaria ( IDA interior lifestyle) , who was proposing the same (she added a pompom!) piece of clothing .... I didn't have any excuse to wait longer for knitting my own triangular scarf!!!! ;oD So, I started .... Do you want to start one, too ??? Well, you need : some yarn ! My personal choice was : Lana Grossa Basics Calmo (59% acrylic, 24% cotton and 17% linen), shade 207. All my 4 balls of yarn (50g each) have been used for this project. Then 2 balls (50g each) from Rowan Classic Cotton Jeans Yarn (100% cotton), shade 365-Sierra, for both stripes and tassels! a pair of 4,5mm  knitting circular needles or, if you prefer, a pair of long strai

Make it ! The Granny Bunny !!!

You know, this picture from my  Instagram feed  has collected more than 900 likes ... ... and a colourful crocheter named Karin @woolfieber , made her own version just looking at my pic (you can find her work  HERE  ) !!!! My idea, since the beginning , was to prepare a photo tutorial for you, but do you really need one ? These Granny Bunnies are so easy to crochet, believe me !!!! YOU NEED : some colourful mercerised cotton a 3,5 mm hook a pair of scissors a tapestry needle beads for embellishments (optional) Please note that I follow the US crochet terminology, thank you ! Each bunny measures 13 cm in height and it can be used for different purposes : bunting, hanging decorations, appliques, brooches, on napkin rings and more !!!! The sky's the limit !!! You can use this pattern even with different yarns and, consequently, hook sizes !!! ;oD Abbreviations : DC = double crochet ch = chain SC = single crochet 2SCtog = 2 single crochet
