Let's crochet Cables and learn the Lace Broomstick stitch.

This Month of February has passed very quickly and I haven't had time to

upload any project, have not had time to visit my blogging friends, also have

not had time to read my posts ... for all that, I apologize!!!
Today I will share with you this beautiful project and then I'm going to take

time to read my messages. With that said, and hoping that I have been

forgiven, here begins my post :)

 

 

Este Mes de febrero se ha pasado muy rapido y no he tenido tiempo de subir

ningun proyecto, tampoco he tenido tiempo de visitar mis amigos bloggers , asi

como no he tenido tiempo de leer mis mensajes...por todo eso, pido disculpas!

Hoy voy a compartir con ustedes este proyecto y luego me voy a dedicar  a leer

mis mensajes. Con esto dicho, y esperando que me hayan perdonado, aqui comienza

mi post :)

 

 

Cables and Lace Broomstick Hat.

 

 

 

 

This crochet hat shows us something, today's crochet creations are endless.

I discovered this hat, through the Crochet Along group on Google+.

 

 

This was the challenge for the month of September 2013, a little late, but wanted to do it 
and share with you my pictures and links for anyone who wants to try to do so.

Good news, the pattern to make this hat is free, having said that, I want you 
to know that this project is for those who have an intermediate to advanced 
level of knowledge in crochet.

 

 

You will find the pattern for this hat in an e Book from "Crochet Me" as I said

is  free, here's the link "8 Free Crochet Hat Patterns: Crochet Hats with Crochet  Me" and more good news in this eBook you have 8 patterns. You  have to register to download it, worth it, because there's always interesting projects and free e books.

 

 

 

 

 

Descubrí este hermoso sombrero en crochet, por intermedio del grupo

Crochet  Along on Google+.

 

Este fue el challenge del mes de Septiembre del 2013, un poco

 en retraso, pero quería intentar hacerlo y compartir con ustedes fotos y 
enlaces para quien quiera intentar a hacerlo quiera intentar a hacerlo.

 

Una buena noticia, el patrón para hacer este sombrero es gratis, pero quiero 
que sepan que este proyecto es para aquellos que tengan un nivel 
intermediario ha avanzado de conocimientos en crochet.

El patrón para  este sombrero lo van a encontrar en un e Book de "Crochet Me" 
que como les dije es gratis, aquí va el enlace " 8 Free Crochet Hat Patterns:  Crochet Hats with Crochet Me" y otra buena noticia en este e Book hay 8 patrones. 
Solo se tienen que inscribir  a "Crochet Me"  para bajarlo, vale la pena,  pues

allí siempre hay proyectos interesantes y e Books gratis.

 

 

 

 

Let me give you some links that for me was very useful:

For the cable band portion of the hat you need to know how to do the;

 

BPdc, Back Post double crochet
FPdc, Front Post double crochet
FPtr, Front Post treble crochet

If you click on the name of the stitch it will take you straight to the tutorial I used .
The difference between the BPdc and the FPdc is the way you insert your hoop, 
the first two letters FP and BP, guide us in the direction we have to take 
with hook, the last two tell us the stitch that we have to do, in this case a 
double crochet ( dc).

 

 

 

 

Les voy a dar algunos enlaces, que para mi  fueron de mucha utilidad
para realizar estos  puntos.

 

 

BPdc, Back Post double crochet
FPdc, Front Post double crochet
FPtr, Front Post treble crochet

 

Ustedes hacen clic en el nombre del punto  y los  llevara directo hacia el 
tutorial que yo use. El post esta en ingles, pero hay muchas fotos que les 
permitirá de comprender como hacer estos puntos.

La diferencia entre el BPdc y el FPdc es la manera que hay que dirigir el 
gancho de crochet para hacer el punto,
las primeras dos letras nos guían en la dirección que tiene que tomar el 
ganchillo y las dos últimas nos dicen cual es el punto que hay que realizar.



 

The second part is the Broomstick Lace stitch.

 

This crochet stitch is beautiful, but it was a little difficult to learn!

 

There is a video that helped me understand, and the video is on the site of 
Stitch Diva Studios. 



 

 

 

 

 

La segunda parte es el Broomstick Lace stitch.

Este punto de crochet  es hermoso pero para aprenderlo me costó un poco :(

 

Hay un vídeo que me ayudó a comprenderlo, y el video esta en el sitio de

Stitch Diva Studios.

 

 

 

I decided to add a flower and the pattern for the flower is also free and easy to do! The 
pattern is from Crochet today. Here is the link.

 

Decidí agregar una flor y otra buena noticia tambien es un patrón gratis, el patrón es 
de "Crochet today", aquí está el enlace.

 

 

 

 

Hopefully you have enjoyed this project; it is a challenge to learn new crochet

 stitches, as I always like to learn something new, it was a victory to finish  it!

See you soon with new projects!

 

 

Ojala les haya gustado este proyecto, es un desafío para aprender nuevos puntos

 de crochet, como a mí siempre me gusta aprender algo nuevo, fue una victoria 
el terminarlo! Nos vemos pronto con nuevos proyectos!

 

 

Have a beautiful and creative day!

 

Marisa :)

A light box for better photos.

 

 

A big hello to all of you my bloggy friends, I am back with you to share my new 
creations with wool and cardboard!  Yes, you read it right ... I said wool and 
cardboard

I will start showing you a crochet hat that I did for my cousin.  I finished 
this hat a couple of weeks ago when there was no snow around me and I could 
going outside to take photos, taking advantage of the presence of the sun.

 

 

 

Una gran ola para todos mis amigos virtuales, aquí estoy otra vez con ustedes 

para compartir mis nuevas creaciones, con lana y con cartón!

Si, ustedes leyeron bien...dije lana y carton

 

Voy a comenzar mostrándoles   este sombrero en crochet que terminé para mi prima

 hace un par de semanas cuando todavía no había nieve a mí alrededor  y podía 

salir afuera a tomar fotos aprovechando de la presencia del sol.

 

 

 

 

 

The day's progress, the seasons change and thus the days get shorter, the cold

is  intense here in Quebec, the sun becomes more strange ... so I can't take more  photos outside

There were several reasons that led me to make a light box.

Foremost is the need for light to take good pictures.

 I have read in several places the importance of having a light box, it's like having a mini photography studio and no longer rely  on the sun and the temperature (we have -11 degrees Celsius today).

 

 

With the help of my husband we started to make one of those light boxes that I  saw in several places.

According to the objects that we will photograph, should be the size of the box.

 

We need three lamps and we can now create a light box

Here I show you the pictures I took of my box.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Los días avanzan, las estaciones cambian y con ello los días se acortan, el frío

 por aquí en Quebec es intenso, el sol se hace más raro...por lo tanto no puedo 

tomar más fotos al exterior

Varias fueron las razones que me llevaron a fabricar una caja de luz.

 La principal  es la necesidad de luz para tomar buenas fotos.  

He leído en varios sitios la 

importancia de tener una light box  , es como tener un mini estudio de

fotografía  y ya no depender de el sol y la temperatura (hoy  tenemos -11 grados Celsius).

 

Con la ayuda de mi esposo nos pusimos a fabricar una de esas cajas de luz que vi

 en varios sitios.

Según los objetos que nosotros vamos a fotografiar, debe ser el tamaño de la 

caja que debemos usar,  necesitamos también  tres lámparas y manos a la obra...

 

 

 

 

 

I want to show this photo, with  the mannequin I use for my hats,   so you 

can compare the size of the box in regard to my mannequin.

 I'm going to leave at the end of the post a link to a very good tutorial, it is 

indeed the tutorial I used to create my box.

 

 

 

 

Les quiero mostrar esta foto, donde está el maniquí que uso generalmente para

mis sombreros,  así ustedes pueden comparar el tamaño de la caja con respecto a

mí mannequin

Les voy a dejar al final del post  un  enlace hacia un muy buen tutorial, es en 

efecto  el tutorial que yo use para crear mi caja.

 

 

 

Now I will show you photos of the set I ended up giving to my cousin, you will see 

photos I took outside and the others that I take  in my light box, I leave

to you to take conclusions...

 

 

 

 

On the other hand I hope you like the hat and scarf I made. Unfortunately I have

 no pattern for the first time I did it  following my intuition. I promise to create 
another one and draw the pattern, it will be quite an adventure for me, writing a 
crochet pattern to share with you, I love the idea!

 

 

This is the link to the tutorial

  if you want to create a light box for you!

 

 

Por otro lado espero que les guste el sombrero y la bufanda que hice para mi prima. 
Lamentablemente yo no tengo el patrón,   por la primera vez lo hice siguiendo mí

 intuición .  Prometo crear otro y dibujar el patrón, esto será toda aventura 
para mi, escribir un patrón de crochet para compartir con  ustedes, me encanta 
la idea!!

 

Aqui encontran el enlace hacia el tutorial que yo usé para hacer mi light box

(caja de luz)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Have a nice day!

The Butterfly Stitch Slouch Hat

Not long ago I discovered the community of google and in all honesty, I have to

confess, I opened a huge door to the web.

 

Google allowed me to discover new groups, new blogs, make new virtual friends

with the same passion that I have, would have to say with the various passions

that I have, because I like to sew, knit, crochet, do crafts too, and I also  like to

make jewelry. I can assure you that I found a group for each one of my passions.

 

You might wonder what I do not like to do, I confess.... I do not like "cooking"

and you're not going to believe me, I prepare daily meals for 8 people (my

parents, my 4 kids my husband and I).

 

One group I found in google community and to which I subscribed is the group of

"Meladora's creations for Crochet". Her group is full of beautiful people, each

one fills me with inspiration every day. Meladora performs a challenge each

month and when I saw that this month she proposed to make a "Slouch Hat" I could

not resist, and here's my slouch hat

 

 

 

 

No hace mucho tiempo que he descubierto la comunidad de google y en toda

honestidad tengo que confesar que me abrió una puerta inmensa hacia el web

 

Google  me permitió descubrir  nuevos grupos  , nuevos blogs, encontrar nuevos

amigos virtuales con la misma pasión que yo tengo, tendría que decir con las

varias pasiones que tengo , pues me gusta coser , tejer, hacer crochet, también 

hacer  artesanía , y me gusta hacer  joyas. Les puedo asegurar que encontré un

grupo para cada una de mis pasiones . Ustedes se preguntaran que es lo que no me

gusta hacer, les confieso no me gusta cocinar y ustedes no me van a creer, yo

preparo las comidas todos los días para 8 personas( mis padres , mis 4 hijos mi

esposo y yo) .

 

Uno de los grupos que descubrí en la comunidad google y al cual me subscribí es

el grupo  de "Meladora's creations for Crochet ". Su grupo esta lleno de gente

hermosa, cada uno de sus miembros  me llena de inspiración cada día.

Meladora lleva a cabo un challenge cada mes y cuando ví que este mes nos

proponía de hacer un " Slouch Hat" no pude resistir y  aquí esta mi Slouch hat

My new hat made in crochet.

Lately I've been playing with wool; I had several projects in mind and had

bought wool for each of them. I was doing a bit of crochet and knitting, every

night, for me, after dinner is the ideal time to get to knit while "listening" to

a television broadcast. I've said it well, as I " listen" and non watching,

my husband always sits next to me, and always says the same thing "I do not know

how you do for knitting, reading a book and look at the television" and to

surprise him , I make some comments about the emission we are seeing together.

 

 

 

Lately I have made several models of hats, today I'll show you a hat I made, following the instructions from a book I bought, and to use with that hat... I decided to

make my first scarf using two knitting needles. It's rare that I learned to

crochet before knitting, but so happened, I liked to do crochet more than knitting

from my earliest childhood , maybe the reason is because I was lucky to have the best teacher in the world, my grandmother.

 

 

I bought the book, "Clever Accessories Crocheted" and I loved it, there are several

interesting projects, very nice photos and my first project was perfect. I

bought it on Amazon and here I leave a link to Amazon where you will be able to

find the book, click here.
I want you to know that I have no affiliation with Amazon, I just want to share

with you  the link and the information about this book.

 

 

For the scarf, I decided to try something more complicated than the Stockinet

stitch, reading a book that I bought this time in French, I managed to make this

point.

This is the book I bought and it is written in French:

A L'École Du Tricot.

Here is the link if you want to see more information on the Amazon's site

Here I show more pictures, now I will add this hat to my crochet projects tab.
Hope you liked it.

I hope you enjoyed my creation, I will have more hats and scarves to share with you soon. Thanks for visiting my blog, I wish you to spend a beautiful day.

Let's make a crocheted hat in a weekend.

Here the winter is properly installed, despite sunny days, the cold is intense. For

me it is the perfect  motivation to do crochet accessories, that's why I made this hat and I love it.

 



This hat was designed by Sara Dudek, I bought the magazine  online, the name of the magazine is "Hooked on crochet Hats II" and  the link to buy it is here, if anyone is interested. ( I just want to warn you that I have no affiliation with that magazine, I just want to share with you the information because I really liked it the magazine)

The name of this pattern  is the "limited sans hats", as I finished it, I tried it 

and since then it's my favorite hat. The most important thing is that other than

being cute, it keeps my ears warm!

 

 

 

Here I are more photos that I took, I was so happy with my result that I took

pictures from the front, side, back, top, sorry I couldn't stop taking photos!!

 





 

I think that is the variegated yarn that I used whom gives to this hat that beautiful look, because  it was by using that variegated yarn that  I could give  an interesting texture to this hat, without any extra effort other than follow the instructions of the pattern. The yarn that I used is "LOOPS & THREADS" Impeccable, and the color is EARTH OMBRE #04001.

 

 

I have other news to share with you, look at the next picture, isn't a nice

montage, right?

 

I did it with " My Memories Suite v4, digital scrapbooking software"

Now the good news!!!!
 I'm super excited to tell you that the company "My Memories" contacted me a couple of days ago, offering me the software "My Memories Suite" to give away on this blog.

My Memories Suite v4 is a fun and easy way to create scrapbooks, photobooks and more, I personally love scrapbooking and have long thought about the possibility of buying a software that is easy to use to create unique pictures, now I found it!

 

I started looking at some tutorials on you tube and discovered that this software

allows us to make buttons and banners for our blogs and create beautiful photos! The information about the giveaway will be in my next post, but if you want to go and see the features of this software, here I leave the link.

 

 

I hope you enjoyed this post, do not forget to leave me your comments, it gives me great pleasure to read them all, and answer your questions.

There's something else I want to tell you, is that everybody can participate in

this giveaway it is not necessary to be follower of my blog, but those who are

followers will have an extra opportunity to participate , OK... I will explain this in my next post so ...stay tuned !!!!!

 

Have a nice day!
