Cut Out & Keep : my Knit & Crochet Superstar feature!!!!!!!!

I still can't believe it!!!!!!!
At the beginning of last November, I received a kind email from Cat Morley :

 Hey Alessandra,
We love your projects and were wondering if you'd be interested in being one of our Knit & Crochet Superstars on craft community Cut Out + Keep?
Knit & Crochet Superstar is a feature where showcase patterns from celebrity stitchers and the big names in knitting & crochet. You can see an example of the feature here: http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/superstars/knit-crochet
Let me know if you fancy it and I can tell you more!

Thanks,
Cat


…. So I worked on 5 new crochet projects for the occasion!!!!

And today you will find my Stripy Wrist Warmers !!!!!! I hope you will like them!!!

This week, every day from Monday till Sunday, one project of mine will be featured (5 crochet + 2 knitting projects!!!!) and you can read about myself, too : I'm Knit & Crochet Superstar #38 !!!!!

These projects will be promoted across Cut Out + Keep and their Facebook page and Twitter !!!

I'm so excited !!!!!
It will be fantastic if you will join me in this incredible journey!!!! ;oD

Tomorrow there will be my second project ….. stay tuned and thank you!!!!!

THANK YOU CAT : you just made my day, or better, my week!!!!!

    Complimenti Ale ! E' davvero una stupenda notizia , anche se lavoriamo a casa , per noi , è bello essere notate , la comunità di crafters è enorme , ognuna fa del proprio meglio, i riconoscimenti sono quello che ci da la forza per continuare a condividere i nostri lavori ! Ti ammiro perchè porti sempre avanti il tuo stile e difficilmente ti fai influenzare dalle mode del momento ! Una vera creativa ! I tuoi guanti sono davvero carini e adesso andrò a vederli meglio e seguirò tutti i tuoi lavori ! Un grosso abbraccio e complimenti

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 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 ! 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
