I had knit this before on a trip back home to Switzerland and then gifted it to one of my best friends Marianne.
Thought it was time for me to have one too….Or perhaps it to will be a gift. Or if anyone loves it I would be willing to sell it too….Smiles I have enough yarn, I could make another one….
This is a very lose fitting cardi on me so would fit someone with medium to large size too.
Wish I had bought more of this gorgeous cotton yarn when I was home last April in Möhlin. My mom and I found this in our local “Landi” in Möhlin. Called “Baumwollgarn Fil De Coton”a sport weight cotton great for many crochet or knit projects.
Hope one day the Landi will carry more of it again so I can get more of it.
Love the feel and look of the yarn and sweater. Used a hook size 3.5mm (E) and all of the 4 skeins (400 grams) I bought for a small/medium but had to hook on for the larger size due to yarn.
Gerne hätte ich noch ein paar Kneuel mehr von diesem wunderschönen Baumwollgarn das ich in Möhlin im April in der Landi gekauft hatte. Dieses ” Baumwollgarn Fil De Coton ” ist ideal für viele häkeln oder strick Projekte . Hoffe, dass eines Tages die Landi es wieder im verkauf haben wird, damit ich (oder Mutt,) mehr davon besorgen kann. Ja auch meine Mutter hätte diesen pullover gern zum anziehen wie ich weiss.
Einfach perfect für diesen Netz Pullover von Teresa Chorzepa. Verwendet einen Häkel Größe 3,5 mm (E) und alle 4 Stränge (400 Gramm) für eine kleine / mittlere Grösse musste aber wegen dem Garn auf die größere Massgröße Haken. Hab es nicht gern wenn alles so eng an liegt.
A light fun pattern and ideal to wear over a strapless top or halter top.
You want your crochet work to show off.
The sleeves and back are crochet all in one piece and then at the sleeves section sewn together. Once that is done it gets easier. Just pick up the required stitches all around the body opening. Knitting in the round is easy now as it is a knit 2, purl 2, knit 2 continue to end …Lacy Cardigan 2016
The Lace Cardigan pattern ..In Sizes Small / Medium and it is easy to adapt to larger size too. I’ll be working this pattern up again in my “KnitswissYarns” shortly and have pattern available again….Happy knitting
A fabulous yarn to knit or crochet for sure. I this recent project that I just started I using up about 500 gram of Noro Silk Garden. I really love how the colours blend well together. Even though I am using a good 20 different colours in each leftover skein up.
Have a look and can you guess what this will be? I’ll keep you posted soon.
Ein fabelhaftes Garn zum Stricken oder häkeln ist die Noro Wolle schon . Ich habe dieses Projekt erneut aufgefasst. Da ich ungefähr 500 Gramm von verschiedene Knäueln von Noro Silk Garden übrig hatte. Toll ist es schon wie die Farben so wunderschöne zusammen schmiegen. Auch wenn ich mit gut 20 verschiedene Farben Stricke.
Schaut doch schnell und kannst Du sehen was ich da Stricke? Bis bald wieder werde Euch auf dem Laufenden halten bald.
One would never think so with all this cold and rainy weather we have had for the past several days.
To bad I can’t make the sunshine come forward, however….
I can definitely can bring you colours with my work.
Tirano Vest
For the past view months I have been crocheting squares. Yes just some fun crochet stuff.
Totally thrilled how this vest turned out. I call it the “Tirano Vest.
I can’t wait to see how my new “Flower Power” coat will look once done…but until then I hope we have some more sunshine soon…
Wow es ist schon wieder August?!
Würde es nie denken… ja schon wieder ein regnerischen, kalten Tag und das schon fuer drei Tage. So hier dann etwas Farbe da ich die Sonne Euch nicht senden kann.
Farben, ja, das kann ich mit meinen Strick bringen, doch dieses mal wird es Häkeln sein.
In den letzten paar Monaten habe ich Quadrate gehäckelt.
Ich bin begeistert wie diese Tirano Weste zusammen kam.
Ohne Muster? Ja das gibt es schon, alles Freestyle.
Bin auch schon gespannt wie meine neuer Flower Power Jacke aussehen wird.Doch da muss ich noch etliche Tage daran stricken…so bis auf bald dann.
Beginning of my new Flower Power coat that I am knitting now
What a fantastic weekend we had at the Knitter’s Fair in Kitchener Waterloo, Ontario.http://www.kwknittersguild.ca/fair/ September 14th. 2013
Sooo much Yarn unbelievable …my first time going to this Fair…sooo worth the drive. Ahhhh yes I know Madi I did not drive…..Madi was behind the wheel thank goodness.! We, Ana my Mom and I made sure she would not get lost…smile. GPS did help too …
We met so many friendly people . Vendors and Customers…just a good bunch of people. I truly love being part of this all.
It is amazing to see all the booths going up in many hours of: How should this look, where do we place this skein. Should we put it up in rows of colours or in the same weight? How many colours do we have? No here it goes…or Ana I need this for here. Giggles and smiles we had…
Resting at night not sure how the others did but I did not do much of that ….my mind was on the next day’s show….and hoping all goes just as planned….GREAT!!!
Fun…and then the selling , and talking about the yarn . “DyeHard” by my college Deb Y , “Yarn Hallow”,“JoJoland”,Noni Purses!..the list goes on…..even posing for pictures …all was so much fun.
Then the taking it all down in what…???only 1/3 of the time it took to put it up….
Truly something to experience from what my Mom (how is visiting from Switzerland) is telling me. She too enjoyed every moment of it …
You should see the Store today…almost all back to normal…with fantastic yarns to knit up for this fall Cardigan You always wanted to knit or crochet…
For this version I used some of the Sirdar Calico in yellow for the beak and Sirdar Snuggly DKin white, black and blue for eyes and gray for the body and with hook size 5.0 mm (H).
I finished one in medium and large size just to make sure it would fit just perfect for the little fellow for picture day….
We liked it so much at my workplace that I crochet one more in Debbie Bliss Baby CashmerinoWe liked it so much at my workplace that I crochet one more hat up in Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino
So soft it sure will be a great hat for the little once or teens ….and I if you need help I will have a class at my work coming up shortly too.
For this version I used some of the Sirdar Calico in yellow and Sirdar Snuggly DK
Für diese Version habe ich die “Sirdar Calico” in gelb für den Schnabel und “Sirdar Snuggly DK” in Weiß, Schwarz und Blau für die Augen, Grau für den Körper gebraucht und mit Haken Größe 5,0 mm (H).
Hier sind zwei verschiedene großen Größe im Bild zu sehen Mittel und Gross. Wollte sicher sein das dies Owl Mütze perfekt past für den kleinen Knaben der sie zu dem Photographen tragen wird…..Diese Mütze gefällte uns im Geschäft so gut das ich gleich noch eine für den Laden her gezubert hatte, mit der Debbie Bliss Baby-Cashmerino. So weich, es wird sicher ein großer Hit sein für Kleinkinder oder Jugendliche. So viel Spass dann dabei…..
I am so happy to ready this article that my hubby sent me a view days ago. He is always on the look out for me to get new ideas in Knitting, Quilting, Home Decorations, Family, What is the newest Fashion…you name it he will find it for me.
So please have a look at this link I posted here It talks all about YESSS
“Teen knitting is a huge trend today”
And not just with girls…Yes the Boys are realizing they meet the girls if they learn to knit or crochet …how about that for a change….
(As per this Article and I just picked a view lines that popped for me in this article:)
“Books about teen knitting are flying off the shelves faster than ever before, and high school knitting clubs are popping up everywhere. Unlike many other crafts, knitting is very accessible and satisfying for beginners, which is one reason why teen knitting is suddenly so hip. Teen knitting is most popular with girls, but more and more guys are picking up the hobby too. From stylish and cozy caps to ultra-modern iPod cozies, teen knitting today is about much more than just sweaters.
Teen knitting clubs are a logical offshoot of this new trend. Although knitting is in some ways a solitary activity, being part of a community of knitters is a great way to learn new techniques and get inspiration for new projects. The social aspect of teen knitting is a big reason why it is so popular. A lot of teen knitting is done by boys who want to make unique laptop covers, clothes that are the height of cool, or special gifts that any relative or girlfriend are sure to appreciate. The fact that teen knitting isn’t just a trend among girls really says something about how much gender roles have changed since grandma started making mittens.”
This is just to show you a view I-Pod Cozies that I found looking on the internet…really cool ideas. Some are Knit and some are crochet.
Need some ideas what to knit or crochet…ohh I have lots of ideas for You!
Let’s say I have always something on my needles or hook. Just need to stop in at “The Yarn Store” and ask what I have in my basket….smile if you know me, You know that basket is always traveling with me and I love to help you anytime!
see You soon….
Blanket Shawl in Debbi Bliss …how about that the kit is 20% off too
Can You tell I do not want to count all that Yarnnnn…
This Ruffled Scarf was a breeze to create. Easy to crochet once you know the simple crochet stitches. The pattern is also from the “Crochet Noro Book”
have a look at all the great pictures from this book (Link is below )
Pattern was designed by Valentina Devine
For this scarf I used a yarn that I received as a present called Regia Hand-dye Effect and with one skein of about 459.0 yards (419.7m) and hook size 3.5mm or (E)
Einfach und doch so wunderschön. Der gekräuselte Schal war ein Kinderspiel zu häkeln.
Wenn Du die einfache Häkelstiche kanst ist das ein gutter anfangs Schal zum Häkeln. Das Muster ist auch aus dem “Häkeln Noro Buch” haben einen Blick auf all die tollen Bilder in diesem Buch (Link ist unten angegeben)Muster wurde von Valentina Devine entworfen
Für diesen Schal habe ich ein Garn, dass ich bekommen hatte genannt “Regia Hand-dye Effect” und mit einem Strang von etwa 419.7 Meter und Häkel Größe 3,5 mm oder (E)
A great project that I found in the new Noro Crochet Book.
The scarf was designed by Mary Jane Hall.
Pattern is well written out and only over 4 rows and then you repeat the rows till you are finished…
I only used two skeins of Noro Silk Garden Lite about 272.0 yards (248.7m) and a hook 4mm or (G)
Shell Schal
Ein tolles Projekt, das ich in dem neuen Noro Häkeln Buch gefunden hatte.
Der Schal wurde von Mary Jane Halle entworfen. Das Muster ist gut geschrieben und nur über 4 Reihen und dann wiederholst Du die Zeilen, bis der Schal fertig ist …
Ich habe nur zwei Stränge von Noro Silk Garden Lite etwa 248.7Meter und einem Häkel nummer 4mm oder (G) gebraucht.
So it is about time I finish my first quilt, right?!
Yes my walking foot for the sewing machine works now after having a user issue at first …that would be me…smile.
Until Ana had a closer look at my machine. She told that the foot does not line up with the bottom feet….ok glad to have Ana to help me with that too.
So home I came after my workday. Know the question was, do I knit, crochet or work on my quilt? I did have my crochet project in my hands and after 4 reps of the pattern I told myself stop!!! go work on the quilt. Ok I know I have to do the “Stitch In The Ditch” stuff….yes also my first time …. struggling with all that material between the needle and the body of the machine and sewing a straight line….and yes all the pins….huuuhaaa…not so easy I say ….done now…
will see what my teacher Ana has to say…smile my guess is I used the wrong colour threat for this job
So ist es Zeit, dass ich meine erste Quilt fertig nähe, nicht wahr?!.
Ja, mein Leufer Fuß für die Nähmaschine funktioniert jetzt, nachdem ich Gestern etwas problem hatte damit …ein Benutzer Problem … das wäre mich … smile. So brachte ich die Maschine ins Geschäft um nach zu fragen was ich da falsch mache?
Dann wurde mir erklärt das der Fuss oben und unten nicht überein legen. So die gute Ana kam zur Hilfe und nun klapt alles Bestens. Danke Schön.
Zuhause angekommen nach meinem Arbeitstag war die Frage, stricken, häkeln oder weiter machen mit meinem Quilt?
Ich hatte meine Häkelprojekt in meinen Händen doch nach 4 Musters Wiederholungen sage ich genug damit! Mach mit der Patchwork Decke weiter .
Ok, ich weiß, “Stich im Graben” (wie wird dem sagen) mach ich auch das Erste Mal…. etwas gekämpft hatte ich mit all dem Material, das zwischen der Nadel und der Maschine war und dann auch noch geraden Linie zu nähen und all die Sicherheits Nadeln dazu…. huuuhaaa … gar nicht so einfach. Bin gestpannt was meine Lehrerin die Ana dazu zusagen hat. lächeln .. meine Vermutung ist, dass ich nicht die richtige Farbe beim Faden benutz habe…
Well…. I can tell You all, the doors have not even open and we “The Staff” of The Quilt Store and The Yarn Store in Newmarket are already having so much fun. This mornings drive to the International Centre was a blast….Irene made sure we all are awake that is for sure. The coffee helped too I have to say….Thanks for our great driver Adrienne we arrived in no time.
The Quilt Section is looking awesomeSo does the Yarn Section
Ok I have to say THANKS! to Ana and Joe to have the super soft floor all laid out already.
I was wondering all night if those boxes made it onto the truck.
When You are at our booth #115 visiting tomorrow Friday or Saturday, You too will know why I was worried that these boxes possibly were left behind at storage.
