les trois vallées (i)
De volta de uma semana na neve ... sempre bom para o corpo mas principalmente para o espírito. Depois de vários anos seguidos em Val d'Isére, desta vez estivémos em La Tania nos Trois Vallées, e posso dizer que foi uma boa experiência. Uma estância muito simpática, bastante prática para quem tem crianças, e um alojamento que superou as minhas expectativas (Le Christiania).
Aos 3 anos a S. estreou-se no ski, e não podia ter corrido melhor :)
Just came back from our ski trip ... always good for the body but especially for the mind. After several years going to Val d'Isére, this time we decided to try the resort of La Tania, in the Trois Vallées, and I can say it was a great experience. It's a very family friendly resort, quite practical for those with small children, and the apartment we stayed in actually surpassed my expectations (Le Christiania).
S. went skiing for the first time, and it couldn't have gone better :)

cosy (me)
Outro casaco tricotado com um dos meus fios preferidos (novamente madelinetosh DK). Este modelo foi fácil e super rápido de tricotar (acabado em cerca de um mês), e fiquei agora com vontade de tricotar a versão criança para a S.
Another cardigan in one of my favorite yarns (madelinetosh DK again). This pattern was easy and super quick to knit (finished in about a month), and I'm now planning to knit the child version for S.
Modelo / Pattern: cosy (me), by Nadia Crétin-Léchenne
Fio / Yarn: Madelinetosh DK in Byzantine (4 skeins). Leftover yarn was just a tiny ball.
Agulhas / Needles: 4 mmm
Tamanho / Size: S with smaller gauge
Ravelry project page
Changes made were very few:
- made an extra button hole
- picked up 60 stitches on each armhole (because I used smaller needles), basically 3 out of every 4 rows
Final measurements after blocking were more like the XS size (32” chest)

pomme de pin
Um casaco que foi amor à primeira vista assim que o padrão foi publicado. E escolhi fazer em amarelo mostarda, uma cor de que cada vez gosto mais, principalmente nestes dias de inverno frios e chuvosos.
Optei por alterar a gola do padrão original, que apesar de ser bastante interessante achei que iria ser pouco prática.
A cardigan that was love at first sight as soon as the pattern was released. And I chose to knit a mustard yellow version, a color that has quickly become a favorite, especially during these cold and rainy winter days.
I changed the collar from the original pattern which despite being quite interesting wouldn't be so practical to wear.
Pattern / Padrão: Pomme de pin, by Amy Christoffers
Yarn / Fio: Madelinetosh DK in Nutmeg, 3.8 skeins (from Laine et Tricot)
Needles / Agulhas: 3.75 + 4.00 mm
Size / Tamanho: 39'' with some changes (see details on Ravelry project page)

Mathilde #1
Uma nova blusa feita antes do Natal, mas que só consegui fotografar agora. O padrão é o Mathilde, da Tilly and the Buttons, e gostei tanto que já tenho planos para uma nova versão.
Adoro: as pregas pequenas à frente e os botões atrás.
O que alterei: mangas compridas em vez de 3/4.
A new blouse that I made before Christmas but only had the time to photograph now. The pattern is Mathilde, from Tilly and the Buttons, and I like it so much I already have plans for another version.
What I loved: the front pleats and the buttons on the back
What I changed: long sleeves instead of 3/4
