Bossa furoshiki

Per fi he acabat un regal de cumpleanys atrassat que volia fer per la meva amiga Marta. He fet un bolso triangular a l'estil japonés.

Fa temps en una classe, una alumna va fer una presentació molt interessant sobre els bolsos furoshiki del Japó. És una cosa semblant a l'origami però fent servir tela en comptes de paper. És molt interessant veure tot el rendiment que es pot treure d'un tros de tela! Si voleu idees sobre diferents usos del furoshiki, mireu aquest póster.

Al blog Lola Nova on expliquen com fer aquests bolsos: origami market bag.

Aquest bolso és molt senzill i ràpid de fer. És un projecte ideal per persones que s'inicien en la costura. És una versió japonesa de la clàssica tote.

Aquí està el resultat del meu bolso. No té forro interior, potser si el torno a fer, li posaré forro interior per fer un bolso més resistent.

Christmas projects

Phew! It's been a long time since I last wrote! I'll try to update the blog more often as a New Year's resolution. I've been pretty busy this Christmas knitting away and I'd like to share some of the results:

I started off by making these fingerless mittens . They were really fun to make. There's some simple cable and a lovely wool bundle on the top. I got the pattern from Ravelry. It's called Wristful Thinking.

This is a great project for people who want to start with cables and are looking for an easy project. I used Katia Oxford.

I'm really happy with the results, they ar really warm and handy as your fingers are still free.



Another project I completed during the Christmas holiday was this shawlette:

This is the first shawl I have knitted and I followed a very easy pattern. It's basically stocking stitch with some nice eyelets which make it look lacy and nice. I love the yarn and how it changes color in a subtle way. I used Katia Darling.






Right now I'm working on a pinkish purple neck warmer. Hope I can finish it before school starts! :-)
