Weeble!

Here are some pictures, at last, of the Ripple Blanket,
In other words... called Weeble! ... Yes... Wee Blanket... Weeble... I love it!
And I love rippling now that I have, at last, understood how to do it!

Can't wait to stick my cold feet under it after a long day in university, a nice shower and then... Weeble and I, infront of the TV. I just CANT wait!

So... here Weeble comes!

You might remember one of my first articles about making an orgy-like yarn buying at Tricolaine in Carouge...
Well, I got this yarn, a heavenly Debbie Bliss yarn, soft, warm, not fussy.


Welllllllll


Nowwwwwww



It has almost transformed totally in a, like magic, blanket.



Let's not wait any longer!
























I so hope you like it!

The funniest is that I started working on it (well trying at least, coudn't get the pattern right at that moment) 5 days before Lucy from Attic24 announced her Ripple Blanket, and even more important, the reason why she was making it, her baby!

So yes, you have understood that it is Attic24's design ;)

And now, well... my first week at university! I love the subject (geography that is), it takes some time to adjust to the independance etc... And there is some horrible, heart breaking, achy maths to do too. Crap and double bollocks in my opinion! (why the hell does maths exist in fact?)

But well... otherwise the weather has definitely switched to automn even thow, the sky is blue and the sun shines warmly, one can walk around in a skirt and a top, but the wind is a lot cooler and the air is not as searingly hot.

BUT! In 6 days (next Friday!) it's my birthday...so the automny thing doesn't matter just yet. In seven days it will, because then it isn't as interesting any more.. You know, observing the weather changes, you know the B-day comes nearer and nearer... Well after that... it's just a long way to go in cold and dark days. Before Christmas ;)


I'm off, going shopping some yarn (yay!) and then working on my maths!

Have a wonderful weekend!

See you Around the hook!

Finally!

Here I am again!

I have had so much to do so poor blog had to have fun all by himself, thanks to the other bloggers he had some nice comments to eat!

My vacation in Spain was fantastic! It was hot, sunny, the sea was really warm (26°C) and we had a great time! Sitting on the beach all day, taking in as much sand, sea and sun for the winter.I meant to publish an article when I came back, but I took some time to recover from the fright in the aeroplane on the way back. I hate flying. And in the middle of the journey, we hear a sound that sounds well... like a motor that's switched of. And then there was smoke in the cabin. But no problem was reported to the cockpit, so we continued and landed safley.
Well, that's that

and then, yesterday, I started University! I quite like it!
I'm in Geoscience section Geography. Yesterday I came back quite disappointed, but today I had some really interesting courses, I hope it will go on like that! :-)

The university is in Lausanne, I have to take Public Transports to get there, about one people crowded hour to get there, and the same in the evening, so that's a bit annoying.

And what's around the hook for now?

Many many things!

I'm still waiting for the Merino yarn from Sweden to come, so that I can finish my Stella Shawl!
Whilst waiting I have at last started a Ripple Blanket (for the feet), I took a looong time before getting the thing right, I still don't know my error but now it's fixed :-)

I still have that fishy sock project on, but I can't fined a pattern that suites me really. So that's a hell of a stand-by.

No pictures yet. Have a great backache and just am tooo lazy to go upstairs and take a little picture!

So tell me, what are you doing with your hooks now in the beginning of Fall?

Sneak peaks... at last!

Hi everybody!

How are you all?

I'm soooo not updating my blog! But it's just egg-cooking hot so just sitting infront of the computer is horrible!

But tonight is cooler, with a wind blowing here and there so here I am... after a day of fruit eating (my favourites are coming up on the markets: white peaches, the last strawberries and pears!), what are your favorite fruits????
living on the edge... who said fruit was boring????



So let's not wait any longer, here are the sneak peaks,

I first mentionned the Drunken Harry Potter scarf (Dhp), I've made it with Rowan Lenpur Linen, it's simple as a bee, it's maid out of 2 double-crochets closed together, the whole way.

Why did I call it Drunken Harry Potter? Well, because the common HP scarves are 1) in the HP houses colours 2) made in a very thight stitch and with quite rough yarn... This one is made of funky colours (suiting my trench coat) and made with quite airy stitches. I'm finished with it, but I didn't have enough of the blue (damn yarns with different lengths! ) so I had to finish it of with an other blue... that I have to hide in some way, am thinking of it :-)
But for the moment, here is Dhp!




Then, I mentionned the Stella Shawl, it's going great! I love it even if it's quite demanding, about 1 hour to come around once now that it grows from big to huge! But I'm really fond of it and it'll be cosy to have it on the shoulder when the cold fall mist will come!
... It's red... but my camera must be in love with someone else, the mad thing doesn't make as good pictures as it used to :-P




Hope you're having a lovely end of summer! I'm preparing for University, starting 14th of September, apprehension & "I can't WAIT to be there!"

Little cultural news... or at least fun things!

Hey there!

Busy days! Have been to the cinema, to see Harry Potter 6... It's magnificent! Just so so so funny & dramatic at the same time! Love it!
Have you seen it? What do you think about it?

Then, this week is Paleo, a big festival just next door, yesterday I went to see Placebo & Kaiser Chiefs, it was really good!

I do also have a new crochet project, a hand bag made with patchwork squares, 4x4 squares on each side, the three rows from the bottom will be plain squares and the top row will be granny squares as showed here. I'm not putting any pictures of the work going on 'cause it's a birthday gift, don't want to show it before I give it!

So for now, I thought I'd show you the projects I have done.

First, a short dress, a model from "Phildar":


And a really simple top, nice!





So that's all! Have a nice day!!!
