I had a great weekend!

Happy Monday everybody! I had a great weekend. I had the chance to spend time with my hubby! We had a lot of fun together. I also got the chance to finish my sock, yay!!
I have to say it doesn’t look perfect, but you know what? It’s OK, because it’s my first pair of socks, and it’s the first time that I have finished a big project with DPN’. I feel great and I look at them as a proud mom.





Feliz Lunes para todos! Mi fin the semana estuvo muy lindo. Tuve la oportunidad de pasar tiempo con mi esposo! Nos re divertimos juntos. También la oprtunidad de terminar la media que me faltaba, estoy muy contenta al respecto. Tengo que decirles que no esta perfecta, pero saben que? No me importa porque es el primer par de medias que he tejido en mi vida, y es la primera vez que termino un proyecto largo en agujas de doble punta.!
Me siento feliz y miro mis medias como una mamá orgullosa.

On Saturday I got 2 packages on the mail, it was my yarn!! You should see, it looks beautiful, now a have some pictures to show you.
El Sábado me llegó por correo la lana que estaba esperando, no saben lo linda que es! Ahora tengo unas fotos para mostrarles



I love pink and green together!! Me encanta el verde y el rosa juntos!!!







This is the one that I order for my mom, isn't pretty?
Esta es la que ordene para mi mamá, no creen que es linda??


I was thinking that today I’ll start my mom’s socks, but I‘m concern about the pattern that I picked. When I knit the first pair I did it with worsted yarn and DPN’6, casting on 40 sts, the yarn that I’m going to use now is fingering weight and I’m going to knit with DPN’3, but the question now is: how many sts should I cast on? Do you think that if I make it with 40 is it going to be too small? I really want to use the same pattern that I used for the first pair, because I already know it. If you have an idea about this can you please let me know? I need help! Thank you my friends!

Estába pensando que hoy voy a empezar las medias de mi mami, pero tengo una preocupación acerca del patron que elegí. Cundo tejí el primer par use lana gruesita con aguajas doble punta N0 6 Y 40 puntos. Ahora voy a usar lana finita en agujas N0 3 pero nosé con cuantos puntos? Ustedes creen que si le pongo 40 puntos van a ser muy chiquitas? Qué hago? Yo quería usar el mismo patron que en las primeras medias porque ya lo conosco, alguna sugerencia que me ayude??
Desde ya muchas gracias amigas!

I almost forgot to show you, some yarn that I found on Etsy for only $2.50 each! and of course I had to order it!

Casi me olvidaba de mostrarles una lana re linda que encontre en Etsy, por solo $2.50 cada una, por supuesto la tuve que ordenar!




What do you think?
Que te parece?



See you later, have a great afternoon! Después nos vemos, besitos,

Sabry.

English and Spanish + Yarn!!!!

Picture
Today I decided that I’m going to write in English and Spanish. I’ve been thinking about this for quite a while and I think that is going to give me the chance to express and communicate better whit people that I like. This is how is going to work: I’m going to write a paragraph in English and then in Spanish, so everybody is happy, including myself!

Hoy decidí empezar a escribir en Inglés y en Castellano. He estado pensando esto por un tiempo y creo que va a ser mejor porque voy a tener la oportunidad de expresarme y comunicarme mejor con la gente que quiero. Este proceso va a trabajar de la siguiente manera: voy a escribir un parráfo en Inglés y otro en Castellano de esa manera todos estamos contentos, sobre todo yo!

As I say yesterday my second sock is almost done! I can’t wait to get home from work today and start knitting so I can finish it! The good thing is that I have time because my husband is going to be working until 10:00pm tonight, so by that time that he gets home my project is going to be done!
Como dije ayer, my segunda media esta casi terminada! No puedo esperar salir del trabajo para ir a casa y empezar a tejer y por fin terminarlo! Lo bueno es que voy a tener tiempo por que mi esposo hoy trabaja hasta las 10:00pm, así que para el tiempo que el llegue a casa ya voy a tener todo terminado!!

I have to tell you, I get all excited about knitting socks and I had to buy some more yarn, I know… too soon right? I wanted to knit a pair of socks for my mom (she lives in Argentina). I found the perfect color, is like pink with green, it’s beautiful! I hope to see the package when I get home this evening. I have only two more hours to go and then the weekend comes!!!!
You should see this yarn is just precious!! My mom can’t believe that I know how to knit socks, so I want to knit a really nice pair for her; although she will have to use them next year because in Argentina is Spring time right now, a little to warm for wool socks, don’t you think? She said today “ I don’t care that is too hot, I want to have them with me, because you made them! She is so sweet I love my mom.
Tomorrow yes or yes, I’m going to upload some photos so you can see what I’m talking about. I think I talk too much for today. See you later my friends!!

Tengo que decirles que me emocioné tanto con esto de tejer medias que ya tuve que ordenar por internet más lana para medias! Ya sé debés de estar pensando, tan rápido?
La cosa es que le quiero tejer un par a mi mamá (ella vive en Argentina). Encontré el color perfecto es como un rosa fuerte con verde, es una lana Hermosa!
Espero ver el paquete ahora cuando llegue a casa esta tarde. Me quedan solo dos horitas de trabajo y después a disfrutar el fin de semana!
Tenés que ver la lana… es preciosa!
Me da risa porque mi mamá todavía no puede creer que se tejer medias, por eso quiero tejerle un lindo par para ella; aunque creo que no las va a poder usar hasta el año que viene por que allá empezó la primavera, así que hace un poco de calor para usar medias de lana. Hoy ella me dijo, no me importa si hace mucho calor, las quiero tener porque las hicistes vos! Es un dulce de leche mi mama, la adoro.
Mañana sí o sí subo las fotos así pueden saber de lo que estoy hablando. Creo que por hoy hablé mucho, así que hasta luego mis amigas!!!

I finally did it!!

When I started knitting, my dream was one day to be able to knit socks! I saw them as something really difficult and hard to make. Last weekend I decided to start knitting a pair. I looked for the easiest pattern for beginners, I copied it, I bought some cheap yarn and I started to knit. At first it was really hard for me to take control of the four needles, hahaha, and then after a couple of rows I was all excited. Knitting the heel was easier than I was expecting it came along really well. I think that the hardest part was closing the sock, because I wanted to use the Kitchener Stitch, oh gosh that was hard! I had to go to you tube and find a tutorial to understand it, and guess what?? I did it!!!
My first sock looks beautiful! I was so proud of myself that I put my first sock on my nightstand when I went to bed so I could look at it! hahaha. I haven’t taken any pictures yet, but I will soon, when I finish the second one. I think that is going to happen between today and tomorrow!
I remember that Stephanie once told me that knitting socks is addictive, and I have to say that she was totally right!
How was your first knitting socks experience???

Not having a really good time....

Hi there, I know I'm such a bad blogger! the thing is that life is being very hard on my family and me, so I don't have too much time to write. I found that this blog makes me happy, the fact that I know that you guys come to read what I write, it's a really good feeling.
I have to say I'm sorry for my bad English. Sometimes I feel like just quitting my blog just because of my English, and then I think no, wait.. I really don't want to stop doing this!

My ideas are gone for the moment, that's why I haven't created anything new. I'm waiting to get emotionally better, so I can make cute little things again. I will be showing you some new thing really soon I promised!
At this moment the only thing that I really need is to believe and a lot of hope!

From my favorite author Paulo Coelho I extracted this beautiful words and I would like to share them with you, first in Spanish and then in English:

In Spanish:
El hombre nunca puede parar de soñar. El sueño es el alimento del alma, así como el alimento del cuerpo es la comida. En muchas ocasiones, durante nuestra existencia, vemos cómo se rompen nuestros sueños o se frustran nuestros deseos, pero es necesario continuar soñando, pues en caso contrario nuestra alma se muere....

Now in English......

A men can never stop dreaming. Dreams are the food of the soul, just as food is to the body. In our existence we often see our dreams come undone, yet it is necessary to go on dreaming, otherwise our soul dies...

Reading Coelho always makes my soul feeling better and happier..

Do you like Blythe Dolls??

As you might know by now, I love to sew, crochet and knit from those three activities I create. I like to create different things, that’s why I have such a variety of items in my shop. Approximately a month ago I got my first Blythe doll, Luna. She is beautiful, and of course I have to create for her too. Between last Sunday and yesterday I finished some cute items for her and for others Blythe dolls! I like to make Blythe items.


I was thinking that I might have to open another shop, exclusively for doll’s items. Otherwise my shop is going to be confusing I think, but I’m not sure yet.
This is a little chair that I have in my shop, it's ideal for Latty doll's too. I used them more for my amigurumis. I think it's too adorable.




All right! I think I wrote more than enough for now!
I’ll be back later!

Amigurumis

This is the sweet Sophie


All this week I have been working a lot, creating different things. At this moment I’m working in two amigurumis, this time I’m trying new kinds of yarn. The idea is to create a really fuzzy one, but it’s so hard to crochet with fuzzy yarn. Surprisingly, this project is coming along really well; hopefully I will be finishing it by the end of this week. Oh gosh I love making Amigurumis!!!! Talking about them, so far I have sold a total of three already! The first one was Sophie the sweet sheep, the second one was Teresa the tiny bear, and third one was Romina.



I think her face is really sweet. When I'm inspired everything comes out so easy. I loved Teresa, she is in a nice home now.
When I made Tere I was inspired by love and sweet simple things,that's why she is such a happy toy full of positive energy.


Well I have to admit I love to create amigurumis I think that they are super cute and you have to think a lot make them different and unique.
If you make amigurumis plase write to me letting me know where I can see your work!! I love to see different amigurumis.

What a nice week so far!!

Sorry that I haven’t been writing everyday, it’s very hard to get use to this. I still try to figure this entire blog thing out. I’m use to flickr, what a wonderful place to make new friends!!So many talented people, I love looking at their pictures, it really help you to learn how to make your page or blog to look better. Talking about flickr:
Check this out!
Well two days ago I got a beautiful package on my mail, from my very, very good flickr friend Angie. She made a nice and big knitting case with lots of stitch marker!! When I saw it I was speechless! It looks just beautiful!!! Thank you so, so much Angie, I'm so lucky to have as my friend!!!
The funny thing is that I’ve always wanted one, and now I have it and it’s perfect!
