An stitch that looks its best on extra bulky yarn, like t-shirt ones. I learnt to make it in the round with increases and sideways which looks like a whirlwind. It creates an interesting texture. These are the latest ones I made.
Esta variacion del punto bajo gana mucho con trapillo y lanas/hilos gruesos. Aprendi a hacerlo en circulo y una variacion redondo ladeado que encontre aqui , que lo hace mas interesante, parece un remolino. Estas son las dos ultimas bases que he hecho.

Ganchilleando con trapillo - Crocheting with t-shirt yarn
Probando nuevos materiales y aprendiendo nuevos puntos y tecnicas. El punto bajo centrado (enlace a video) que he usado en estas cestas es muy versatil, facilita el diseno pudiendo usar graficos de punto de cruz con la tecnica del ganchillo tapiceria o jacquard.
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 crochet knit stitch/waistcoat stitch which is very versatile, it adapts itself very easily to tapestry/jacquard crochet designs.

Ganchillo por Paris - Crochet in Paris
Por mucho que una viaje y vea cosas nuevas, la atencion termina centrandose en cosas por las que siento predileccion. Disfrutando el Museo Picasso en Paris 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.
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 Picasso Museum in Paris last week.

Parque de ganchillo - Crochet playground
El que ha creado la artista japonesa Toshiko Horiuchi en el Hakone Open Air Museum de Saporo en Japon. Las reaciones de los chiquillos a ver sus esculturas fue la inspiracion para esta obra, que desborda color e imaginacion.
Crochet as the medium to create an unusual playground, is what japanese artist Toshiko Horiuchi has done in the Hakone Open Air Museum in Saporo, Japan. Dreamy, whimsical, strong and above a place full of fun.
See a biography of the artist, interview and more of her work, here and here.

Galon de circulos a ganchillo - Circle's lineup
The last crochet tecnique I learned before my enforced break due to tendonitis. It is done in one go without breaking the yarn.
La ultima tecnica de ganchillo que aprendi antes de que mis tendones enfermaran. Tiene la ventaja de que se hace en una pieza sin romper el hilo.

Perfumes con gancho - Hooked perfum
Los que hizo Kate Talbot para este articulo en la revista Stylist. Lo unico que no me gusto fue que los describen como hechos a punto, algo que no se si es por desconocimiento o dejadez pero ocurre a menudo con piezas de ganchillo. A resaltar las ilustraciones textiles que hace la artista, versiones artesanas de obras de arte donde mezcla telas, pintura y ganchillo, creando unas piezas unicas, a la vista en su pagina web hungdrawnquoted y en la Maison Bisoux.
Great crochetted perfums done by textile artist Kate Talbot for Stylist magazine. Pity that the magazine ignored the artist description of her own work and described it as knitted. See more of her textile illustration work on her site.

Pantalones cortos a ganchillo - Crochet Shorts
No se yo si me da la aficion al ganchillo para tanto. Y es que soy demasiado practica y la ropa de playa la prefiero sencilla, sin rebuscamientos y que no requiera cuidados especiales. Claro que alargandoles la pierna, tejiendolos en negro y forrandolos a contraste quedarian unos palazzo de noche originales. De todas formas si a alguien le gustan aqui los venden y en Outstanding Crochet muestran el patron.
I like crochet, but my practical nature does insists on the easy to care nature of beach clothes. Personally I will do some alterations to them : lengthening the leg and adding contrasting lining will make some interesting evening palazzo troussers. I came accross them and their pattern on the Outstanding Crochet blog, less patient fans can buy them here.

Lana Ondas - Ruffle yarn
Hace unas semanas me agencie unos 50g de lana de cinta en tonos azules en una tienda de caridad. No tenia ni idea que hacer con ella ni como, simplemente porque era preciosa. Y estos fines de semana griposos en casa me han dado la oportunidad de averiguar que lana era (Katia Ondas) y buscar tecnicas para hacerme una bufanda . Encontre tres: una a punto y dos a ganchillo : un video en portugues de Elaine Crochet y el mas facil el video de Mikey de All Free Crochet.com). Desbarate un par de intentos pero consegui acabar la bufanda el sabado. Si sois impacientes (como yo) os recomiendo los patrones a ganchillo, podeis haceros hasta dos bufandas en un dia.
A few weeks ago I came across some ruffle yarn in variegated blue. I had never seen this tape yarn and had no idea how to work with it. The last few weekends were spent at home with flu and I went searching for tecniques to work with it. I tried three, the knitting one took too much yarn and I didn't have enough for an scarf . Then I tried this video from Elaine Crochet with instructions in portuguese which was easy enough, but I must have mistaken something because the scarf resulted too short. Tried this video from Mikey from All Free Crochet.com and bingo, I even had some yarn left over which I added to the scarf. Something else I noticed, the yarn is very resilient, I unravelled it twice and it didn't show at al. If you are impatient like me, go for the crochet tutorials, you can do two scarfs in a day.

Tragalanas - Wool Eater
Unos dias de gripe me tuvieron en cama, pero en cuanto pude aproveche para probar tecnicas nuevas. Esta vez el Comelanas de Sarah London. Aprendi a hacer ganchillo en España y me hago unos lios con las terminologias americana y britanica tremendos, por lo que prefiero las versiones en castellano. La traduccion de Hasta El Monyo de patrones en ingles me ayudo mucho.
A few days in bed with the flu gave me the opportunity to have a go at some new tecniques. The Wool Eater, a stich I discovered a year ago but had not tried yet. You can find Sarah London great tutorial here, or if you prefer videos, here is one.

Susanna Bauer
Una artista alemana afincada en Cornwall que empareja materiales naturales con tecnicas artesanales como el ganchillo con resultados de lo mas inaudito y delicado. Para muestra su serie Hojas, donde las enmarca con ganchillo o las transforma en objetos tridimensionales sin dejarles perder su identidad natural al dejarles el peciolo. Mas obras en su pagina web. Fotos cortesia de la artista.
Contemporary art with a crafty edge combining dead/transient materia and more durable one, often results in unusual pairings of a delicate and somehow eerie beauty. Natural materials, manmade material and artisan crafts like crochet are the components of Sussana Bauer's stunning Leaves series. A Cornwall based german artist, who transforms them by encasing them into lace, doily like, or sewing them into tridimensional shapes while still keeping their natural identity by not removing their petiole . See more of her work over on her website. Photos courtesy of the artist.

Descubrimientos ganchilleros - Crochet discoveries


I found this crocheted curtains pelmets while leafing through a decoration book and I was attracted to them. I do not even know what they are called but they look old, I wonder if they are victorian. I did a quick search and found some curtain patterns called portieres which look similar. They idea of a net base with some applique motives is great and it can be applied to so many things.
