Posted by Amy on May-13-2008 Well, I’ve finally come to the point in my life where it’s time to stop the insanity of having boxes and boxes and boxes (and boxes) of fabric that isn’t being used. Add to this, boxes and boxes of yarn!!  My friends, even though Felicity is now officially crocheting and I plan to begin teaching her to sew (she’s finally begged me enough!), there’s still no way I’ll ever use up all the “stash” of fabric and yarn I have stowed away in boxes. 2008-05-13 16:33:06 PDT http://technorati.com/search/crazyforthecountry.com/2008/05/13/fabric-and-yarnoh-my/ 0 0 Crazy for the Country http://www.makesandcreates.co.uk/?p=25 http://www.makesandcreates.co.uk/?p=25 Sun, 30 Mar 2008 14:23:17 -0700 Sirdar Blur March 30th, 2008 Ages ago I bought 5 balls of Sirdar Blur in a lovely kina inky purple colour (they say Indigo), they were bought after seeing a pattern in a knitting mag for a lovely jumper. I’ve never got round to starting the jumper so I thought rather than the yarn just sitting there I’d try and make something, ut what? Then I read on someones blog that on Ravelry you can type in a type of yarn and it will find all the patterns and projects related to it - genius!

C. Escher's Relativity. I never actually did that, but I did put together a neat study model of the scene, out of folded graph paper (and a bit of cardboard for support). I've just posted a picture of it on my sculptures page. If you're modeling this scene yourself, this picture could be a useful reference. It's pretty accurate, though perhaps not exact.

I'm glad those guys made that: now I don't have to. (I started planning a model of Relativity years ago, but never started building it. It's a tempting subject because it's recognizably Escher but isn't actually physically impossible to build; furthermore Escher pretty obviously designed it using a sort of 3-D grid, so it translates well to LEGO or similar systems.

I measure by wrapping the length of yarn around the hanger to give me an idea how much I need to chain. I proceed with the Afghan crochet stitch. The afghan stitch is done in two parts. I did 4 rows to complete the Hanger Cover project. I just sew it together and ease it in to place. 2007-12-26 03:27:36 PST http://technorati.com/search/crochet-mania.blogspot.com/2007/12/crochet-coat-hanger-cover.html 11 13 http://blog.dan-efran.com/2007/06/18/americas-master-sculptor.aspx http://blog.dan-efran.com/2007/06/18/americas-master-sculptor.aspx Sun, 16 Dec 2007 03:32:46 -0800 I'm interested in "hobbycraft" - building scale models of things, for example. It's fun, and some people get very good at it. Right now I want to call your attention to a little-known master of the art.

Maman a déjà repris l’avion à 6h ce matin quand je me réveille à 7h en demandant “Papa, câlin !”. Mais c’est Célya qui entre dans ma chambre, en me demandant si je ne suis pas trop déçue de la voir. Le sourire aux lèvres, je lui réponds “Célya, je t’aime”. Voilà de quoi bien démarrer une journée. Papa arrive quelques instants plus tard, pendant que je finis mon biberon.

Here’s the story: A couple of days ago, my wife wanted to buy some knitting accessories. She doesn’t know much about knitting and just wanted to buy basic beginner’s stuff, so she went to the Hobby Craft store and based on information she had, purchased a pair of knitting needles and woolen threads. When she got home, she found out that she had bought the wrong type of knitting needle, so she thought, “no big deal, I’ll 2007-12-10 02:13:33 PST http://technorati.com/search/www.darrickrochili.com/?p=327 3 10 DR’s Corner http://www.fachwissen-katalog.de/2007/11/12/decoupage-serviettentechnik-die-illusion-der-malerei/ http://www.fachwissen-katalog.de/2007/11/12/decoupage-serviettentechnik-die-illusion-der-malerei/ Mon, 12 Nov 2007 07:38:12 -0800 Découpage-Serviettentechnik – die Illusion der Malerei Sie haben in Ihrem Haushalt Objekte, die Ihnen nicht mehr gefallen oder die alt und unansehnlich geworden sind – da ist die Serviettentechnik/Decoupage genau das Richtige.
