Finally a come back

Well, it has been some time, I must apoligize myself for that, in my excuse I can say that it has been a tough year a school, very stressing really, so that's why I nearly forgot about the blog. Still, I'm here now, and I'll try to blog more often, espescially now that it's summer so I should have more time to post.

Now let's talk about what this blog is about after all, knitting, since last Semptember a lot of projects have gone by, some finished, some still in progress and some just started.....

This is what I'm planning to show you in the next posts:

MACHINE KNITTING:
-knitted man's sweater in dark red with a tuck pattern from the basic set punchcards.

HAND KNITTING:
-Knitted striped work bag in various colours and patterns.
-Woman's basque in autumn colours

-HK- Colourful single bed cover in various colours and patts(19 pieces made,23 to go)
-C- Crochet double bed cover with nut patt. White 4-ply. (1 & a half made, 11 to go)

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?

Bye for now,
