Oversized snood

Still in my knitting momentum, I made a big, thick snood, perfect for the Scandinavian winter … oh wait… It will be on sale on my Etsy shop scheduled to open in the coming days!

[tutoriel] Bonnet nouveau né [sorry this tutorial is only available in French]

Aiguilles 4
Techniques : côtes 1/1 et jersey.
Côtes 1/1 : tricoter une maille endroit puis une maille envers sur tout le rang ; commencer tous les rangs de la même manière (maille endroit).
Jersey : un rang tout à l’endroit, un rang tout à l’envers, un rang tout à l’endroit, puis envers, etc.
Monter 48 mailles.
Faire 6 rangs en côtes 1/1.
Tricoter 7 cm en jersey (environ 20/24 rangs – terminer par un rang envers).
Diminutions :
Tricoter (à l’endroit) 2 mailles ensembles sur tout le rang –> 24 mailles
Faire un rang envers.
Tricoter (à l’endroit) 2 mailles ensembles sur tout le rang –> 12 mailles
Faire un rang envers.
Tricoter (à l’endroit) 2 mailles ensembles sur tout le rang –> 6 mailles
Couper le fil en en laissant suffisamment pour la couture.
Passer le fil à travers les mailles pour les retirer de l’aiguille.
Tirer les mailles pour les serrer et les assembler.

Coudre le côté vers le bas avec la laine restante.

Faire un pompom et le fixer en haut du bonnet.

Et voilà ! Cela devrait vous prendre 2 ou 3 heures selon votre rapidité – ne serrez pas trop vos mailles pour ne pas trop peiner pour les diminutions (et éviter une grosse perte de temps).

Small birth kit

I am going to be an aunt again, and since this time I’m around and I have my material (unlike for the birth of my first niece when I was in Denmark in a student room), I knitted a small birth kit.
I’ll post an easy pattern for the little hat tomorrow 🙂

Mon plaid à moi !

Before I left for Denmark I started “Mon plaid à moi !”, to learn new knitting points while being easily able to take a break from this project to make other ones.
Unfortunately the break extended over 2 years since I didn’t have my equipment with me at the beginning and later, after buying makeshift needles at Tiger (I miss Tiger so much guys!) I was more busy knitting me stuff for my tribal dances outfits (and make tassels, for which I admit no needles are needed for this) and mittens, and even more mittens (Danish winter!!). Since I came back from the United States – wow I travel so much (NO) – I got back into it thoroughly and finally I get somewhere, plus I really feel a big progress so I am happy! I eventually made it to half of 90 squares \o/

 Notice the aesthetic of my labelling (and the photo itself :p – sorry)

I think that the technical notebook is very well done (but it’s a French book), and the explanations for the squares are very handy for the first patterns, however one must stay focused because I spotted several little mistakes (or misprints).

Cummer Museum

I went back to Cummer Museum (with my mother but it was her first time of course) and good plan, as a student (officially, I’m not anymore, but my card is valid until 2017!) my entry was free.
Every Tuesday evening (16h-21h), the entry is also free for all.

As we arrived in the morning at the museum and we wanted to embark on a late afternoon shopping in San Marco, we had lunch at the museum café (open all day but closes one hour before the museum itself) and truthfully, I still drool over thinking about this salad. I think it was all in the seasoning but we absolutely enjoyed it – this is also why my plate is already well underway on the photo, I forgot and I rarely am so thrown on a plate!

And this time I saw the gardens! They were closed when I came at night in December. It’s beautiful! At the edge of the river… I want a garden like that one day (well except that I will live in a rotten shack in the forest in the mountains with my husband but it’s not the subject).
