ANDREA WEARING A SWEATER KNITTED FOR HER

Andrea and her parents went to the Getty Museum and she wore a sweater I knitted for her. I am so happy she looks wonderful on it.

ANDREA WAKNG UP EVERY MORNING

Every morning I watch my grandaughter Andrea through Skype and yesterday she was so graceful and gentle and happy and it has been like this for the past two weeks. She just wakes and start smiling and making us smile and love her

LITTLE PINEAPPLES TUNISIAN STITCH VIDEO

This video is intended to explain a stitch for my Yahoo Tunsian Crochet Group. The stitch is called Pinitas in
Spanish and the translation in English is Small Pineapples because alltogether likes like it.


After the foundation row is done just usual then you start the stitch which is formed basically by two rows, the first row, and you start it inserting the hook in the first space found between the first loop and the second one and you draw a loop, then yarn over and insert back your hook in the same space so you get three loops from it which is counted as one loop, and you go on to the last space in the row where you do the same., then you return and start with the second row which you start on the space after the three loops, and keep going the same until you get to the end which you there is no space so the hook goes to the very end loop alone and insert the hook through the triangle formed there and you only draw one loop (not three), and your return is taking the yarn from that only one loop and then continue taking the yarn through one and three. Once you watch this video, I hope there are no doubts, but if there are, you can place your questions on the group.

GRANDAUGHTER ANDREA AFTER BEING FED

She loves being held and we love holding her

ANDREA IS BORN!!!!! SHE IS WONDERFUL

I loom knitted the hat she is wearing with brioche stitch in the round.

Yes, she is with us now, she is wonderful and she is MY GRANDAUGHTER!! She was born on May 4th and my daughter had her with  natural childbirth, with no C section or epidural or sedatives. She just managed the contractions with breathing and relaxation.  I am really proud of her. I was in the delivery room and was present when she came out to the world.  We have a bonding. I love her so much and I have the feeling she also loves me.

TUNISIAN ENTRELAC AND IN THE ROUND

I always wanted to learn Tunisian Entrelac Crochet, so I bought the leaflet from Carolyn Christmas, and here is my first attemp. I am doing this blanket for my Grandaughter to be born next May and

 I watched these videos in Spanish with the instructions for Tunisian Entrelac and love them. Thank you Ma. de Jesus for so generously sharing.

And from some great videos  ( I do not speak the language, but just watched and learned)

I made these gloves for my nephew Juanito who lives in France and it gets to be really cold on a long winter time.

And I made this scarflette also for my nephew  Juanito to match with his gloves.

Fingerless Gloves with sock yarn

On Christmas time I visited my daughter Gabriela and her husband Ernesto and the baby girl who will be my FIRST GRANDAUGHTER!!!

I bought a lot of yarn in Joanns, maybe too many but I have so many projects in mind for the baby.

I got a nice sock wool, called Sensations and I started a sock as a Christmas gift for me on my fine gauge mini wonderloom from Dalooms and it was coming along pretty well until I realized I never show off socks (not any more jejeje) and I switched it to be a fingerless glove. I just loved the result!!

IT IS A BABY GIRL!!!!

SHE IS MY GRANDAUGHTER!!!

YES, SHE IS TO BE BORN ON MAY, MAYBE BY MOTHER'S DAY, BUT WHENEVER SHE COMES SHE IS WELCOME!!! I HAVE DREAMED OF HER AND I ALREADY LOVE HER. MY HEART MELTS WITH LOVE FOR HER.

Mom and Dad found a new bigger house to rent so Andrea will have her own room

BABY SWEATER WITH BRIOCHE STITCH

It has been a long time since I posted on my blog. Been very busy as I moved my office and did not have the time totally to loom and do crafts.

But now winter has arrived to Mexico and it is kind of chilly. I have started to loom knit, needle knit and crochet again.

BABY SWEATER LOOMKNITTED ON MY AJAL WITH BRIOCHE STITCH

I also loomknitted this really nice baby sweater (ribbon not yet added as we still don't know the sex of the baby, but in 15 days we will!!!! I can't wait!!!). I used my AJAL FG (adjustable knitting board) 12", fine gauge and it is so great to work with!!! These looms are pure art.

A variation of Brioche Stitch (described by Lady Alwen for the first time in the looms) I wrapped the yarn on all the pegs instead of every other one. This way the sweater was more cozy and comfy.





















Stitches come out so great. I enjoy this way of wrapping a lot!! It is fun and speedy because you lift up only one side each row and then the other

EMILIANO IS ONE YEAR OLD TODAY!!!!

SCHOONER SOCKS DESIGNED BY ISELA PHELPS

It has been quite a while since I posted some pictures of my projects and it is not that I have not
been looming, the thing is that I have not had the time to sit and post the pictures.



These are the schooner socks which were loomed on the April loom along in our Yahoo Group

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SockLoomKnitters

I loomed them in my new WonderSock loom

It is wonderful working with this loom. At first I thought I would never accomplish it, but it is a great feeling when you finish your project. I wish now I would have two of this so to loom two at a time.

EMILIANO WAS BORN APRIL 29TH

My grandnephew is born. It feels as my own grandson. My niece has been always so close to me that Emiliano will call me 'abuelita' also. My sister is sharing him with me and I feel so happy.

My world has totally changed. I am hooked on him. Fall in love instantly!!! I don't know how I lived without him until now.

He is proudly wearing his blanket which was made for him especially. Thinking of him.
