workshop de sabonetes :: soap making workshop

No sábado de manhã fui aprender a fazer sabonetes. Era uma curiosidade que tinha já há algum tempo e finalmente agora tive oportunidade de experimentar. O workshop dado pela Ana foi fantástico e só posso recomendar...

Last saturday morning I learned how to make soaps. It is something I've been meaning to try for a while now and finally I had the chance. Ana's workshop was amazing and I highly recommend it. 

flannel tova

A new Tova shirt, this time in soft flannel. I haven't worn a flannel shirt in years, but this is so warm and comfortable to wear I'm tempted to make a few more.

 

a sunny cardigan

The yarn Sara chose for her cardigan when we went yarn shopping in Ulm was this soft yellow superwash merino from Wolle Rodel. When we got home I gave her several patterns to choose from, but in the end she said she wanted the same cardigan I knit her last year, so although I don't like repeating patterns I obliged by casting on another Springtime in Hollis. The yarn was just enough to finish the collar, so I didn't have any to make the i-cord. I decided instead to make a fabric ribbon and used the same fabric to cover the buttons.

Pattern: Springtime in Hollis, by Teresa Cole
Yarn: Wolle Rodel Soft Merino, Color 364, 5 skeins

a brincar à Elsa :: playing Elsa

Like every 4 year old toddler girl she's been obssessed with Elsa since she watched Frozen for the first time. I came upon this great tutorial for a no-sew Elsa cape the other day and decided to make a few for her and her friends to play with. I made them with some light blue organza, and decorated with appliqué snowflakes made of white satin.
