My first Bazaar in Jakarta!

I did it! My first bazaar in Asia!! It's so funny to think about it in these terms!! I'm still tired for yesterday experience, but even so happy for this kind of opporunity! You can meet a lot of lovely and creative people and some nice customers, too!
The bazaar was located in a traditional indonesian restaurant and it was perfect for the feeling of warm and cozyness! I had a small table (next time I'll book at least two!) where to unload my stuff and it was quite difficult to organize a nice display, as you can see....

...and this made me think about how to improve my next exhibition in the following bazaar (on the 29th of November), so last night I didn't sleep a lot because I was writing down a long list of things to do......
I have to thank a very good friend for her kind attention yesterday morning at the opening of the show, because she arrived with a hot cappuccino and some sweets (baked by herself) for me to start my day in a very lovely way....Grazie di cuore Paola, ti voglio tanto bene!!!!
Paola took even this picture...

...Here we are, I and Suzanna! I met Suzanna some weeks ago (a common friend introduced me to Suz : thank you Janet!) and we discovered to share the same passion : knitting! We had a lot of fun yesterday, sharing tables and thoughts all day long during the bazaar!!!! A big thank you even to you Suz!!!

See you soon, xxx

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 ...

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 ...

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...
