Round Beach Bag for Blythe- free pattern

For people- like me- who were born and raised in inner lands it's very difficult to cope with Summer living by the coast.

High temperatures and humidity is a bad, bad combination if you're not lucky enough as to spend the whole day immersed  in water. No matter how many times you have a shower or try to cool down your body temperature, 5 minutes later you'll be sweating again.

Long-term projects

Looong-term project.

I love to work in several projects at the same time, specially when one of them is a long-term project. It can be a very complex pattern or a project as an afghan, a blanket or a large shawl in which you need to work for many hours.

As promised

Well, finally I've chosen to post both options (thanks to my crocheter friends) of the pattern of the vase I showed you last week.

Actually they differ in two rows so I will write the whole pattern and then explain why I altered the last two rows.

For the lazy hands, here is the edited post.

Today’s been a short post, or not.

Catch you next Sunday!

Inspiration- edited

You never know when or where you're going to find your inspiration. It may be a common object that's been around your house for ages, a pattern in a wall, an element of nature, a painting, architecture, maths, the possibilities are endless.

One thing I'm pretty sure of is that all of us- crocheters/knitters- have had Oh I can crochet/knit this moments.

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.

On the edge

They tell you that you must have a basic wardrobe. LBDs, plain shirts, plain trousers, plain, plain, plain...Boring!

And what about T-shirts? Yes, plain white, plain black, plain any colour...Boring!

Leon coaster pattern

Sometimes Mr. Husband and I dig at each other, politely of course.

Several months ago his 3D printing community organised a 3D printer party at Leon, a beautiful city to the northwest of Spain.
