New updates!

Thanksgiving is here! What a great holiday. You get to enjoy your family great homemade food and plenty of time to chill and maybe knit a little!

We are cooking a turkey breast tomorrow because we all like white meat and we are only four people at home, so it will be plenty. Of course we are going to make the yummy sweet potatoes, and smash potatoes and Flan for dessert! Ohhh and we are going to be baking our own bread!

I can't wait until tomorrow!

Ohhhh I also wanted to tell you that I have finished my Sylvi Coat! Oh my…. I am in love with it coat! I wasn’t able to take decent pictures yet, but I show you what I have so you can see it!

 I love it!!!! yes it was a lot of work, but the results are incredible. The pattern is really easy to follow and to be honest I didn't have any problems. The yarn worked perfect for this coat, after blocking it;s a lot softer and I like the stitch definition too.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone, enjoy as much as you can!

Many hugs for you!

Hi friends, how was your weekend? Did you have fun? Did you relax? I had a great weekend, fun, fun weekend. I got to hung out with my hubby and best friends and party on Saturday, it was lots of Sangria involved so "it was fun" upps to much Sangria maybe, hehehehe!
Well and then on Sunday I got the whole afternoon for myself, since my husband had to work for while. I got to do everything I had pending. I knitted while watching my favorite movie "Like Water for Chocolate", I got to finish my sweater, I sewed all the buttons, I made some jewelry, I did laundry, I upload all the photos online, and I started two more projects! One hat for my husband and a Collar Shawl for me!
For now I am going to show you the jewelry and then I will show you my sweater in that way will be much more organized.
Here is all the jewelry I made this weekend. I want you to remember that I love and really enjoy making items, and for some reason summer time inspires me to make jewelry.

My bubble yarn Shawl

Remember that I told you that last March I went to Argentina and I brought yarn? Well this is the bubble yarn that I bought down there.  I have a lot of different colors.

I love the way it came out; the bubbles are super soft and warm!

For this shawl I used US 35 needles, the yarn doesn’t have a specific name here in the US it’s called bubble yarn.

 I really like this shawl! It looks like it has little lights or something, doesn't it?

Today I am working on a new hat pattern to submit to the Knitting a Day pattern calendar since the dead line is on Friday I have to hurry!

Have a great Afternoon!

Hats, Hats and more hats!

Hi everybody, this post is going to be all about pictures, yes the ones that I told you last week I was going to take well I finally took them yesterday.














I was working on these projects:
I called this one My first completed Fair Isle hat.I really like the finished results. It took me a lot of patience and concentrations to knit, but It was worst it. Now I have to make a beautiful flower for it.

 Pink and Brown Hat

 I truly love this one, it came out great, super girly with the pink. I just love the brown and pink combination.
Since I improvised this pattern I don't have it written down, i guess I should write because two people already asked me for it.

This Hat is very special, because I didn't mean to make like this, but after a few rows the stitch I was suppose to do had nothing to do with the I was doing, but I left it and it came out strange, so for that reason I called this hat "Strange Hat".

                                                           

 I'm not a fan of the lace stitch, but since i never actually tried one I decided to give it a try this time.Wauu I love it! I was so wrong, this stitch looks so pretty and it's super easy to make!
I call this hat "Lace Hat"

 Raveled

Inspired by fall and Thanks Giving I crated this one, The Thanks Giving Hat, with warm colors and simplicity.

Finally I made a wonderful hat from " Just Hats"

These are my creations, so far. I hope you like them!
Hugs to everybody and happy knitting!

The pictures

Today is all about the pending pictures that I've promised for so long. Last night I got to uploaded all my pictures to the computer so I will have plenty of projects to show you.

First I would like to start with some of the yarn that I bought on my last trip to Argentina, I don't know the name of it or what is made of because it doesn't say, but it's extremely soft and fuzzy, love this yarn to knit scarf or something that will go around your neck, or a chunky baby sweater, it is out of this world! I wish you could touch it, I really do! Great scarfs are coming for this winter, would you like one? Let me know with time, because this yarn flies out of my hands!

Well, now I would like to show you some of my latest creations on necklaces. These ones are the ones I've mention on the last two posts. They already sold.
                           This is the Green Necklace set, made of green and yellow  turquoise.

This is one of my favorites,  It's called The Star set. For this set I used 925 silver and semiprecious black gold-stone.

Then I made a colorful necklace with some sort of shell that I brought from Argentina,

                                                             I call this one Chapitas set,

And this is the last set, I called it
                                                                Yellow Jade set

Well, these are some of my latest creations on jewelry, I hope you like them.
I am also working on some other necklaces with real strong colors and special combinations. I will post them when I am done.


If you are interested in any of my jewelry please email me at sabrinacreations@comcast.net or leave me a comment.I don't put all I have in my shop.
 For now, I want to say thank you for being there for me, and I hope you have a great happy day!
Thank you for stopping by!

Weekend and Pictures of the Girly Redskins hat!

Remember that last time I told you that I was going to the Redskins Game? Well here are the pictures! Well I have to tell you that my hubby and I decided to take the hat I made to the game, so we could take pictures at the stadium! And so we did. We had a blast! I have a really nice picture of my hubby and me but since it’s in his camera some day he is going to download it and I'll posted.
Today I select the best pictures for the hat and send them to the Knitting Calendar!
Oh one thing!!!! Can you see the guy wearing a custom kinda next to me? He is like a legend at the stadium! He is always there, it's like a "must see" if you go to one of the Redskins games.

Well last Saturday; I had my first Jewelry show! It went very well, I had sales and I was happy. I wish more friends would have come, but they had things to do and they couldn't make it. My Hubby came to the show and he was so proud of me, it felt good! I was proud of myself too! At nighttime we went to my best friend's house because it was his B-day, and he was celebrating, we had drinks, played cards, talked, laughed and planned, we got to see all our friends at the party. We had a great time! We went to bed at 2:30am!!!!!

Sunday, mmmmm it was so relaxing! I slept in until 10:30AM!! And then just chilled, watching the games and hanging out with hubby, drinking mate and knitting!

It was a great weekend!

A year later

After a very long time without touching my blog, I decided that it was time to come back.
I have been really busy, knitting, making jewelry and taking care of just daily life.
I have a fat order of hat to deliver on Saturday a total of 54 hats total for a shoe store that love my hats and the owner likes to sell them there. I love to see my hats on those shelves; I can’t believe that people that I don’t know love them! I feel really good.



New hobby

A while ago I started feeling itchy about making jewelry, I couldn’t decide if I really wanted to add another hobby to my life or not and I finally one day I went to the store I got the tools and I started making jewelry. I like the feeling of making my own jewelry, like if I am going to wear something and I don’t have jewelry to go with, well I just make some! Ha. Well One day I went to my husband’s restaurant and the owner there felt in love with some of my creations, and she proposed me to make a jewelry show at her restaurant! I was so thrilled! I couldn’t believe it! So this show is going to happen at City Square Café on October 24th, 2009. Will see how it goes!




Knitting
Well, I have on my needles a beautiful baby blue cardigan, I already finished the front and the back and now I’m knitting the sleeves (together) and they are taking forever!!!!!
Hopefully with some luck I can finish some time next week. I would love to use it for the jewelry show.
The other day I did something really exciting; I submitted a knitting pattern to the Knitting Calendar! And they accepted it, so one of my patterns is going to be on the 2011 calendar!
I promised not to disappear again; I will be around this time.
