Blocking time! #knitting #knittersofinstagram #knittersofravelry
I made this little pumpkin bonet for a @mostlymaths friend and coworker, who will be dad for the first time in spring. I hope it fits the baby girl head! The pattern by @michelesabatier is very easy to follow and can be knit in a few hours. You can find it free on @hi.ravelry under the name “Berry Baby Hat”. #knitting #knittersofinstagram #knittersofravelry #babyknits #hatknitting
I knew I wanted to knit #spectorsweater since I first saw @jojilocat knitting it in her podcast. Now that I finally have the pattern in my hands, I can’t decide which yarns to use 😩 I’m sure that I want to use the @riverknitsuk BFLs that I bought in October at @tribeyarnslife, but I need at least one more skein. I think that the mustard @lovebugsyarns (75% swmerino / 25% nylon) that I bought at @barcelonaknitsfestival can be great and bright, but the orange @ryberry_yarns (85% swmerino / 15% nylon) combines very well although it’s too dark maybe? And finally, what if I just put a dark grey @gretaandthefibers (85% sw merino / 25% nylon) in the bottom? Or should I forget the idea of stash diving and buy another BFL? I think that I will never cast on this sweater with this level of indecision! 🤦♀️ #knittersofinstagram #knitting #knittersofravelry #yarnporn
Last week I was looking for a fabric in my boxes (long story short: I have a big house that “can” store lots of boxes with my own fabric but also with my mother’s and grandmothers and probably more relatives’ fabric) and found a wrinkled piece that made me travel back in time. I have not even ironed it so you can enjoy the ride with me: when I was 16 years old my mother enrolled me in a summer pattern making and sewing course. I loved to learn pattern making, but the teacher thought I was too young and didn’t put much enthusiasm on me... so I ended the course with a skirt (fine) and a half made shirt that nobody cared to explain me how to finish. Yes, what you are looking at now is a 22 year old WIP!! And it’s a WIP, sonce now that it has reentered my life I have to finish it! Loved it then, love it now, sure will be loved in the future! #sewing #patterndrafting #sewersofinstagram #crafts #memadewardrobe #handmadewardrobe
I’m not a social person. And in a week that both my dad and nephew are in the hospital and my house decided to break in different places, I wasn’t in the mood at all for a crowded knitting festival. But I’m happy that I went to #barcelonaknitsfestival and roasted in my #radiatesweater 😅 Sorry if I haven’t greeted you as promised, it just wasn’t the best day to meet me. The best part was the @jojilocat workshop, that exceeded my already high expectations. She was very fun, attentive and left nothing to explain, I learned a lot and enjoyed every minute of it. I truly recommend to learn with her if you have the chance! Slide to see part of my purchases (I’ll keep the mistery for the ones that will be presents). #melotejoparabcnknits #jojifallkal2018 #knitting #knittersofinstagram #knittersofravelry #knittersofbarcelona
@julieknitsinparis cheering up the cue at @barcelonaknitsfestival #knitting #knittersofinstagram #barcelonaknits2018
It’s being a tough week. I will not bother you with everything, just say that for personal reasons I had lost a bit of the ilusion to go to #barcelonaknits2018 this Saturday if it wasn’t for @jojilocat workshop on Saturday. But today I received this pin that I ordered to use as badge to be recognized on festivals where I can meet in real life with #Instagram and #Ravelry acquaintances and it cheered me up. Stop complaining and let’s finish that last #radiatesweater sleeve! 💪 I hope to meet you there and if you see this badge, please, say hi! I would love to put a face on all these lovely knits! #knitting #knittersofinstagram #knittersofravelry
Finally I tasted brioche knitting! (pun intended 😅) Yesterday I assisted to @lesjardinsdejuliette workshop at @miss_kits shop and had the chance to share the table with @trespompones, @timeoff.tejidos, @chileknitz , @casadelavega and other lovely ladies whose accounts I forgot to ask 😿... It was such a fun afternoon that time flew! And I’m already so in love with this new (to me) technique that I can see lots of brioche projects in the future... but now, concentration: I’m on sleeve island of my #radiatesweater and I should finish it in 6 days 🙀 #melotejoparabcnknits Who else is panicking?! #knitting #knittersofinstagram
I’m arriving late to the party but... finally, it’s mine!! And worth the waiting! #knitting #knittersofinstagram #books #vogueknitting #vogueknittingbook #knittingbooks
