If You Have A Lazy Eye Can You Get In The Army

finished works for a while '


For this shawl I used wool supersoffice d'Abruzzo, which contains a small percentage of nylon, and 5-iron and a half. I deliberately chose a perforated, he did not want the rustic air, the model is this, I had downloaded months ago and put aside for the evenings in the countryside now recovering the link I saw that there is also Italian.
Working with this yarn was beautiful, the wool runs like a dream and the warmth of your hands become soft, and crossed with no difficulty because the cast is perfect and twist the wire does not open, finished the first ball, no difficulty in joining the two ends invisibly, the point is simple, there are no charts to follow: when did the first lap, the work goes on by itself, in short I liked it so much that when I stopped on the edge of the circular (the longest) there were more tops! I have not locked, only washed and ironed, too bad because I have the "pins" the edge, I will have more space to the hut where we want to block a Latvian: measuring 185 x 68 cm, I to take it crossed in front and tied behind, it gives me allure of rural Brittany and I feel vaguely ridiculous, but it does not matter :-)))
The cap does not have any pattern, I just assembled a board with the braid (I used a provisional starting to close in round) and then with the round I dropped the stitches until you have 6, I made two ICORD and ... done! I used a tweed Aran that I had at home and 5 irons. This was also a fun, easy work and I like the result, is well worn, I swear.
But I do not like the little shawl, I do not like the color nor the material, which was a pure silk mother; slips, opens the joints are a nightmare and worse still has a tremendous color.
But I'm sorry to leave it in the bag and sometimes I make attempts, I started here dubbed with a touch of mohair slightly clearer, but I finally closed the loops and tried to finish him off with the hook: the result is not bad but still does not like the color. I wonder if I can dye it?

While I was the first shawl I remembered that my grandmother in Sicily had made to the tendon of the irons with a very similar, I try not too thin cotton and belittling the campaign should be well ..
This is a very old doily from the house of grandmother I turned in moschiera for the pitcher of tea. It 'an awesome job, very fine thread and 5 irons, I could never, ever do something like this: the piece done by me to insert colorful beads that make up the weight is proof, I do not have the suitable hands to do small jobs.
