Crochet a hat - part one

I already posted a video of how to crochet a hat, I decided to post another video split in three parts, because the person that crochetes the hat is a boy, personally I think that it's ok that males knit or crochet, in fact here in Italy it is fashion that some boys knit simple items like hats or scarves to gain some more pocket money:

Here's part one:



But, you what do you think, do you think it is ok that males knit, I'll put a poll up and feel free to let your opinion be known!

Completed crochet project

I decided to start today the crochet project, and although I wanted to I would never convince myself to stop, it's a long time since I crocheted something and I enjoyed it so much that I didn't realise that I had finshed it.

This is how it looks like:


I quite happy of how it turned out.

And you, what do you think of it?

P.S. I've got a question for all you bloggers out there, because I'd like to add on the blog page a folder where I'll put photos of my 2008 finished projects, but I don't understand how to do it.

Any thoughts?

A machine knitter's wish

I've got a question for knitters out there, which is the most boring part for you when you knit something?
I'll bet it is the sewing part isn't it?
There's a very useful thing that speeds up making up and it makes it much easier: the Hague Linker.
That's what I intend to buy one day as I hate so much sewing up!
You'll know everything when it will happen.


That's my wish,

Man's sweater picture - 2

Here I am posting again after a week, yes I know, I should do this more often but I don't know it's like everyone in my family has to get sick, in fact after me, (I got the flu a couple of weeks ago), my son got the chickenpox, he said that he must've got it from two or three classmates of his that also got sick.
On Monday, I should've knitted the back of the man's sweater but I didn't have time, I actually found time today for doing this.
Here's the photo, but really it looks exactly as the same, so:

I'm off as it is time for medicine for my son!

Man's sweater progress picture

Remember, that I told you that I would make something with the pnchcards I tried a few days ago? I did and I decided to make a Man's pullover, which I'm not sure I'll make the sleeves for it.... we'll see.
It was done with the knit radar, it was the first time I used it. I decided to make a cut ' n sew neckline, but what I didn't think is that I'm not to good at that, what to you know, is it difficult, if someone of you tried it and know how to it could you give me some instrucions please....

Anyway so far I made the front with a diamond pattern, the back will have the diamond pattern too.
The welt was done with a 2x2 rib.

Here's the photo:



The back will be knited tomorrow.....

Gifts from my birthday

Are you wondering about this post's title, well a reader of this blog already knows. It was my birthday yesterday.
I've got some gifts that I really like as they were just what I wanted.
I got a Canon MV900 camcoder that uses camera cassettes, it is a great camera (I think so far), it has a great image-sound quality for being very compact, I can have it in my purse, without problems and it weighs like nothing. It has some sort of cable that you plug into a slot in the VCR so that you can put your video on a blank VHS. Luckly who gave me this gift (my hubbie), also bought a USB capture thingy that I can use to transfer the videos on the computer and edit them with a very basic editing software that came with my computer when I first bought it, and then I can put the video on a DVD-R.
I know, it isn't a lot but I really wanted a video camera as I'm sick and tired of photos, every time something happens I make photos, never, videos, I only have videos from my marriage and my son's baptism,which somebody else did.
So it's time to make videos!!!!

I'm off to practice a little.....

Bye for now,


Samantha
