I learnt to make it in the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUmhJOUOLl8" target="_blank">round with increases</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCmm0GWhZfQ&spfreload=5" target="_blank">sideways</a> which looks like a whirlwind.

Esta variacion del punto bajo gana mucho con trapillo y lanas/hilos gruesos. Aprendi a hacerlo en <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVPKNwqcGnQ" target="_blank">circulo</a> y una variacion redondo ladeado que encontre <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCmm0GWhZfQ&spfreload=5" target="_blank">aqui</a> , que lo hace mas interesante, parece un remolino.

Nadie diria que los tejidos aparecieron en los años 30 y 40, se ven tan actuales con tanto colorido. Descubri sus tulipanes hace años en Liberty's y son fan desde entonces.<br />

Remembering the <a href="https://www.ftmlondon.org/ftm-exhibitions/josef-frank-patterns-furniture-painting/" target="_blank">Joseph Franks exhibition at the Fashion and Textiles Museum in London</a>. The designs feel timeless, an injection of optimism with such a riot of color. I came across his work years ago at Liberty's and became a fan, buying some tulip place mats which I regret gifting as I cannot buy them nowadays.<br />

Trying new materials, stitches and techniques. Enjoying how quick the work progresses with t-shirt yarn also known as spaghetty yarn. This one is from Tiger and is very reasonably priced with plenty of stores nearby, a drawback is color availability which can be quite unpredictable. I learnt <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gR77CBw61cc" target="_blank">crochet knit stitch/waistcoat stitch</a> which is very versatile, it adapts itself very easily to tapestry/jacquard crochet designs.<br />

En mi caso estrellas, una de mis favoritas la Froebel. Y no contenta con la version oficial decidi probar con otros materiales. Claro que del dicho al hecho va mucho trecho y la version con cinta de envolver con alambre en la orilla no solo es imposible de hacer sino que ni siquiera es bonita . En fin haciendo y aprendiendo. Para aprender recomiendo estos <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Evt-i1DXkiE">tutoriales</a> y <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5NplkRIwcw">videos</a>.<br />

Last Christmas I made many stars to decorate home with. One of my favorite designs is the Froebel star, and after making several I decide to try new materials. I went for wrapping ribbon, the organza type with wired edge, well the idea sounded good but that was the only good thing about it. It was difficult to manipulate and the result did not justified all the effort it took. Better my earlier attempts.<br />

Disfrutando el <a href="http://www.museepicassoparis.fr/en/">Museo Picasso en Paris</a> las semana pasada, despues de tres visitas frustradas . Y mira por donde me encuentro con esta chaqueta a ganchillo que me encandilo tanto como los lienzos. <br />

I cannot help it even when traveling and seen new places, people and ways of doing things, my attention is drawn like a magnet to crafts. Like this crochet cardigan I came across while visiting the <a href="http://www.museepicassoparis.fr/">Picasso Museum in Paris</a> last week. mayahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04420545695211847049noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34033064.post-53858887826820146052014-11-10T19:41:00.005+00:002014-11-10T19:44:33.245+00:00Halloween / Dia de los Muertos<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This year I went overboard celebrating Halloween and mix it
up with “Dia de los Muertos” , which I prefer. I cut a paper garland and baked
some biscuits with the skull / calavera theme, I also baked some <a href="https://www.google.co.uk/?gws_rd=ssl#q=Martha+Steward+halloween+finger+pretzels">fingerpretzels</a>. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Finished the whole thing with

was hard work, with some late nights, but such fun.</span></div>

El <a href="http://www.amigosmap.org.mx/2014/08/30/el-rebozo-una-prenda-de-identidad-mexicana/">rebozo </a>es rectangulo de tela de una pieza que se usa normalmente sobre los hombros, tejido a mano que forma parte del atuendo tipico de la mujer mejicana desde hace siglos. Frida Kahlo lo dio a conocer internacionalmete como podemos <a href="https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=frida+kahlo+rebozo&biw=1210&bih=723&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=NJ4IVMnEIeev7AaarIHwCA&ved=0CCAQsAQ">ver aqui</a>. .Lila Downs lleva un modelo <a href="http://www.artfund.org/assets/rebozo/LilaDowns2013_(c)AntonioTurok.jpg">con plumas aqui</a>. Yo lo llamaria echarpe.Con 75 piezas a la vista, y secciones sobre la historia, tecnica, tradicion e influencia en el arte contemporaneo, el tiempo paso rapido. Me llamaron la atencion los flecos de los rebozos, que se hacen por otras artesanas las empuntadoras. Algunos son tan delicados como el mejor encaje. Otras fotos de la exhibicion <a href="http://www.visuology.com/made-in-mexico-the-rebozo-in-art-culture-and-fashion/">aqui</a>.<br />

The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebozo">Rebozo</a> in art, culture and fashion was the theme behind, the "Made in Mexico" exhibition I saw last weekend at the Fashion and Textiles Museum . A weaved rectangular shawl which forms part of the mexican woman national dress which is still popular nowdays. Friday Kahlo <a href="https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=frida+kahlo+rebozo&biw=1210&bih=723&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=NJ4IVMnEIeev7AaarIHwCA&ved=0CCAQsAQ">wore it often and it appeared on her paintings</a>. Whith sections on its history, styles, craftmanship, and its presence in contemporary art , it was a very complete and enjoyable visit. The fringes caught my attention with their intricate macrame work.<br />

After losing Saturday to a migraine and feeling a bit better
on Sunday I was in need of fresh air. I went for a walk between Bayswater and
the British Museum, for some reason unknown I kept noticing blue things…and I found an unusual bookshop, <a href="http://www.treadwells-london.com/" target="_blank">Treadwell's</a> which specializes in esoteric, pagan and spiritual material.</div>

Crochet as the medium to create an unusual playground, is what japanese artist Toshiko Horiuchi has done in the <a href="http://www.hakone-oam.or.jp/english/" target="_blank">Hakone Open Air Museum in Saporo</a>, Japan. Dreamy, whimsical, strong and above a place full of fun.<br />
