I’m not used to repeat project pattern. I’ve done it in some exceptional cases as the “GrowingLeave Cowl”, and I’ve done it this time with the “Chromium Star Blanket”. A blanket for a new special star that is coming in the following months. A special one!

Borlas de lana
I’m thinking in using some nice wool tassels as the finishing touch of a crochet
project I’ve just ended. There are several well explained tutorials in
the web, like this video of Tejiendo Perú or this post of Santa Pazienza. It’s
also a good opportunity to reduce the wool stash, as I suggested you in this post. Do you like wool tassels? Have you used them?

Inspiración - ¿Qué hacer con los restos de lana?
















I must
reduce my wool stash urgently. My craft storage is full of wool and cotton balls
from different past projects (some mines and some inherited). The first step is
to categorize the unlabeled balls (the most of them). For that purpose, thispost of Desmadejada with some tips to identify a yarn gauge, needle size, length,
etc., is very useful. Once clear, here you have some inspirational ideas
regarding what to do with your stash. And don’t forget the sample step!

Amor a primera vista - Gorro de lana con trenzas
Fuente: Crazy Hands
Finding the
right pattern (free if possible) and having the perfect materials at home is
something that not always happens. But sometimes it does. I was thinking of
knitting a warm hat for my European trips when I came across this Crazy Hands’
project. As soon as I had the opportunity I got down to work, it was somewhere
in between Seville and Brussels. The pattern is easy and funny, and in a few
days I’ve almost finished my hat. I'll show it to you soon!

Bufandas solidarias para combatir el frío de la Asociación IAIA
Esta organización trata de unir los esfuerzos de personas mayores, personas con enfermedad mental, jóvenes, distintos organismos e instituciones para dar abrigo y regalar un poquito de cariño a quien lo necesita, de una manera creativa y solidaria.
Se trata de un PROYECTO SOCIAL, donde se implica la actividad de personas mayores, de personas con enfermedad mental y cualquier colectivo de la sociedad, en acciones colaborativas; se produce además un intercambio intergeneracional e intercultural, mediante el desarrollo de actividades grupales abiertas al público.
Es un PROYECTO SOLIDARIO, donde se espera dar abrigo a muchas personas en situación vulnerable.


La misma noche que la Asociación ARENA entregue las bufandas a esos niños, La Asociacion IAIA colocará decenas de bufandas atadas en árboles, bancos, etc, esperando que alguien las vea y las recoja si la necesita, o se las entregue a alguien que la necesite. Cada bufanda llevará también un mensaje de cariño.
This week I
want to introduce you a new solidary initiative coming from the handmade world.
The Asociación de Labores Solidarias de la IAIA is coordinating the initiative “Todos manos a la labor” that aims to knit and crochet scarfs for people that could
need them in these cold days. Last year
they organized the “Scarfs Night” and tied these handmade scarfs in trees and
street lamps all around Spain. More than 100 scarfs were knitted by the association. This year
they have the challenge to collet 1.000 scarfs to be sent to Syrian children
refugees in Europe. Are you joining them?

Textured Shawl - Uno de mis primeros KAL
I love KALs
(Knit ALong). By an organized KAL I’ve knitted: my Tulip Tank Top, my Proyecto Final, my Deep end Shawl or my City Cape. One of the first KAL I participated in
was this Textured Shawl organized by Things to
knit in 2013: you can check the
materials needed and the pattern here. With its different stitches, it is quite funny
to knit and affordable for non-experienced knitters. I made in my fetish color:
mustard!
