Summer Breeze

We’re ready to have dinner by the beach, a nice summer breeze gently blowing. Wonderful!

After a few minutes I'm beginning to feel a bit chilly but I convince myself that I don't need any extra clothing. After all, it's Summer!

And then is when you catch a nice Summer cold. Well, and when everybody insists on switching on the air conditioning to full power: at the mall, where all you want to buy is a warm cardy instead of that beautiful bikini, at the cinema where your eyeballs get frozen in 5 minutes, at the office where your poor brain is unable to work properly due to the hypothermia.

Voilà le printemps!- Spring/Summer 2014

That is, Hurray, Spring is here!

Finally Winter is gone, days are longer, the sun is shining, the little flowers are bloomimg everywhere,  a new wardrobe awaiting…or not

Blue Ice- Autumn/Winter 13/14

Nice colours, huh?

The variegated yarn that I’ve used in this set reminds me of the big blue icebergs. They show incredible colours and, as it happens with fire, you can spend hours and hours looking at it absolutely transfixed.

And you’d like to know why the icebergs are blue (if not I’m going to tell you anyway): basically what happens is that snow is white due to the air bubbles contained in it and it reflects light. Old icebergs are made of compacted ice, which doesn't contain air bubbles and absorbs all the light but blue. Other colours may be due to sediment layers, layers containing microorganisms or sea water that has frozen in cracks of the iceberg.

That’s all. Not such a big deal, right?

OK so today’s set consists of a highly textured crocheted hat and a mesh infinite scarf that you can wear in different ways. I don't use acrylic yarns but this one is so soft...Besides people allergic to wool deserve it!

Superwoman does not exist, does she?

Have a look at the scarf pattern below.

Not so long ago: mother of 4 girls, self-employed, late-night student.

Present day: mother of 4 “girls”, grandmother of 6, self-employed, keeps studying (obviously different subjects than in the past).

In addition she’s very fond of her chicks and grandchicks, caring and loving, supportive, strong, determined and an extremely modest person. She’s the life of the party, the first one to arrive and the last one to leave, the family psychologist and an unconditional shoulder to cry on.

Years ago I was having a conversation about the difficulties of being a working mother with someone that told me that Superwoman does not exist but my reply was:

- “Of course she exists and I know her!”.

Temple of the Forest- Autumn/Winter 13/14

Thanks to my friend Nadia. Perfect model!

The name of this set has been kindly suggested by Little Romulan, master in inventing new words. I’m sorry, they are Spanish “words” so there is no translation for them in English. But, trust me, someday his dictionary will be a bestseller.

So today’s set consists of a lace beret and scarf with a diamond motif crocheted in an interesting curled yarn in cream and green shades.

Mad About Stripes ll- Autumn/Winter 13/14

I’m obsessed with the stripes, I know. But, you know, my yarns tell me what they want to be and these were calling for stripes too.

This is a greyish blue- ecru two-tone set knitted in a luxury blend of merino wool and silk. I’ve attached a tassel to the hat instead of the typical pompom for a change. The scarf is an infinite one (yet again).

Mad About The Stripes l- Autumn/Winter 13/14

Hah, I've told you! I love stripes and their infinite possibilities.

The green is greener. This set has been knitted with angora yarn (very, very warm) and the infinite scarf is reversible: light green as the main colour on one side, dark green on the other.

Flower Power- Sold Out!

OK, the name of this set is more appropriate for spring time, so what? 

My brain doesn't like winter but my body says “keep me warm, keep me warm” (high pitch here). So, how do I make my brain and my body happy at the same time? That’s it! The Flower Power beret and scarf set!

The Flower Power beret’s got a flower appliqué and the infinite scarf has been crocheted following a lace pattern of flowers, flowers and more flowers...but as I’ve used a mohair yarn it’s super-warm.

Chevronette- Sold Out!
