This was named by Koen as the neverending bag. I started before Christmas with the intention of using it when going to Vigo, but it soon became clear that not even spending hours and hours each day was going to make that real. I finally finished it almost a month …

Crochet rugs
I know I’m late but anyway I want to wish you a very happy and crafty 2014. Usually I don’t like Christmas so much and this year was even worse because I had to work during the period that other enjoy. I still hear people complaining how hard is to …
Completed: Gramps
Koen’s nephew turned 1 year last October, and like his uncle he’s very tall for his age. I made some crochet booties on July but they were too small for him. Decided not to make the same mistake again I knitted this Gramps in size 18 – 24 months for …
Knitting for a friend’s baby
My friend Vanessa had her second baby this past September so I decided to knit something for the baby for my visit during Christmas. I went again for Aviatrix and this time I made a 3 months size Beyond Puerperium. I didn’t want to go for the usual baby pink …
Completed: Reversible Zippie Hoodie

Borbo the Butterfly
This past Wednesday we went out for dinner to celebrate not only my friend Annalisa’s birthday by also the birthday of one of the guys from our capoeira class. He’s from the same region as me. We don’t talk a lot though since he’s quite younger than me but he’s …
A Sweater!
My niece Paula had tonsils removal surgery a couple of weeks ago. And you now, she’s been at home for some days completely spoiled. I saw her yesterday on Skype and she didn’t want to talk to me until I mentioned that it was a pity that she didn’t because …
Completed: My Nemesis Blouse (a Fall for Cotton project)
This project almost cost me my sewing mojo. September was in general a bad month and I’m still recovering from it. One of my problems is that I always have big plans, and as I’ve seen in past months that I could make four projects in a month, I wanted …
