Emma and Elizabeth (and Tilly!!)....

In this short post (here), I did show you just a picture of these hearts (tutorial via Bunny Mummy)


....but, as usual, I took some more.... ;oD......





I was crocheting these hearts, because of a little girl, born at the beginning of October (here)!!!!

Today, I finally finished and wrapped the hearts garland...





....and a pair of knitted (first time ever!!!!) bootees....


The pattern for these was found on the book "First Knits" by Luise Roberts and Kate Haxell !!!!

I added even a couple of gifts for Emma, the sweet and witty mum, and one for Tilly, the lovely dog of the house!! Sorry, but I'll not show you the presents for Emma, because I don't want to spoil completely the surprise....




...so, everything is ready to leave Jakarta and to reach England....I wish in a very short time!!!!

Really hope you'll be happy girls!!! ;oD

xxxx, Alessandra

    Oh my gosh Ale, how excited was I when I saw mine and the girls names in your post title :o)

    And then when I read the post and saw the garland, oh my, I just can't wait for the postman to come now :o)))

    You are just too super and I feel very humble to have a friend like you (and very pleased that you are such a talented crocheter :P), I can't believe you remembered Tilly too - she is feeling very left out at the moment so she will be delighted to receive a gift from you!

    I will say it again, you really shouldn't have, but I am pleased as punch that you have. We really are a lucky bunch of girls.

    Lots of love xxxxx

    Dear Alessandra,

    I am off to catch a plane in forty minutes but I could not resist (despite my husband's raised eyebrows) taking a few seconds writing you a comment and becoming a member of your merry band of followers.

    You have a wonderful eye for colour! ;-)

    I'll be back soon.

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
