In two evenings of knitting I've finished my first skein of KidSilk Haze and have started on the second. My scarf was about 65cm after the first skein. In the original pattern one skein gave a scarf of 124cm (before felting). So mine is half as long and about twice as wide. Now I wanted it not only to be wider, but longer as well. And with two skeins I'll only get to about 130cm, so that's not really that much longer. So I've decided to use all my three skeins of KidSilk. That should get me to near 2m before felting. The scarf in the pattern shrunk about 1/4 in length, so that should leave me a finished scarf of about 150cm. That seems just about right to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Wauw, er wordt hier hard gebreid! In twee avondjes breien heb ik mijn eerste bol KidSilk Haze al helemaal opgebreid, en ben nu met de tweede begonnen. De sjaal was ongeveer 65cm lang na de eerste bol. In het oorspronkelijke patroon was de sjaal 124cm lang (voor vilten), met één bol. Dus de mijne is ongeveer half zo lang, en twee maal zo breed (klopt). Nu wilde ik niet alleen breder, maar ook langer. En met twee bollen kom ik dus maar op ongeveer 130cm. Niet echt veel langer dus. Daarom heb ik besloten om alle drie de bollen KidSilk te gebruiken. Dan kom ik op een lengte van ongeveer 2m (voor vilten). De sjaal van het patroon kromp ongeveer een kwart in lengte, dus dan zou ik ongeveer 150cm overhouden na het vilten. Lijkt me een prima lengte.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1980110125184575430-7395485724042900240?l=tessacreations.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tessacreations.blogspot.com/feeds/7395485724042900240/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1980110125184575430&amp;postID=7395485724042900240' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1980110125184575430/posts/default/7395485724042900240'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1980110125184575430/posts/default/7395485724042900240'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tessacreations.blogspot.com/2007/11/speedy-gonzales.html' title='Speedy Gonzales!'/><author><name>TessaS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14576900854392708533</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1980110125184575430.post-3748978585309662008</id><published>2007-11-20T12:22:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-11-20T12:56:15.292Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='scarf'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='felting'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='knitting'/><title type='text'>Angel Puff Scarf</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2321/1768684147_7abc6be3fa.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2321/1768684147_7abc6be3fa.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've finaly found a purpose for the beautiful Rowan KidSilk Haze that I bought to knit a lace shawl. I love it, but because of its 'haziness' I find it very hard to knit an intricate pattern with. But then I found &lt;a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/angel-puff-scarf"&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; on Ravelry. Just what I need; easy knitting, beautiful result. And felted too, something I've been wanting to do for some time.&lt;br /&gt;I don't have the exact pattern, but it seems very straightforward. I've cast on about 70 stitches and am simply knitting stockinette stitch. I'm going to make it a bit longer and a bit wider (hopefully) than the one in the picture. I've got three skeins of KidSilk, so that's no problem (the original is 1 skein).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Ik heb eindelijk een bestemming gevonden voor de prachtige Rowan KidSilk Haze die ik gekocht had om een kanten sjaal van te breien. Ik vind het prachtige wol, maar omdat het zo pluizig is vond ik het erg moeilijk om er een ingewikkeld patroon mee te breien. Maar toe vond ik &lt;a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/angel-puff-scarf"&gt;dit&lt;/a&gt; op Ravelry. Precies wat ik nodig had; eenvoudig breiwerk, prachtig resultaat. En ook nog gevilt, iets wat ik al een tijdje wilde proberen.&lt;br /&gt;Ik heb het precieze patroon niet, maar het lijkt erg simpel. Ik heb ongeveer 70 steken opgezet en brei gewoon in tricotsteek. Ik probeer de sjaal iets langer en breder maken dan die op de foto (hopen dat dat ook lukt). Ik heb drie bollen KidSilk, dus dat moet lukken (het orgineel is met 1 bol gemaakt).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1980110125184575430-3748978585309662008?l=tessacreations.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tessacreations.blogspot.com/feeds/3748978585309662008/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1980110125184575430&amp;postID=3748978585309662008' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1980110125184575430/posts/default/3748978585309662008'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1980110125184575430/posts/default/3748978585309662008'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tessacreations.blogspot.com/2007/11/angel-puff-scarf.html' title='Angel Puff Scarf'/><author><name>TessaS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14576900854392708533</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2321/1768684147_7abc6be3fa_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1980110125184575430.post-8843341186601945005</id><published>2007-11-20T12:19:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-11-20T12:22:27.775Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='knitting'/><title type='text'>Ravelry</title><content type='html'>I'm in!

Thing is; I've been worried about the gauge. Something told me it was wrong. So last night I decided to measure and count again, and I was right. 25sts and 50 rows shoul measure 10x10 cm, but in my knitting it only measures 9x9.5cm. So, what to do next; just pretend everything is alright and go on knitting and hope for the best, or start all over again? I've almost finished the back, so that's a lot of work done for nothing. But I guess better save than sorry....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Het is lang geleden dat ik iets aan mijn DaCapo gedaan heb. Probleem is dat ik me zorgen maak over de stekenverhouding. Een stemmetje zei me dat er iets niet in orde was. Dus gisteravond maar eens gaan meten en tellen, en inderdaad. 25st en 50nld zou 10x10cm moeten zijn, maar bij mij is het maar 9x9,5cm. Wat nu; gewoon net doen of er niets aan de hand is en doorgaan en er maar het beste van hopen, of verstandig zijn en overnieuw beginnen? Ik was bijna klaar met het rugpand, dus dat is een hoop werk voor niets.

Het vogeltje vereiste wat meer doorzettingsvermogen!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AHgfYCdvt8U/R0BSKUxCGsI/AAAAAAAAAKs/IDULLe-TBJc/s1600-h/IMG_6639.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AHgfYCdvt8U/R0BSKUxCGsI/AAAAAAAAAKs/IDULLe-TBJc/s320/IMG_6639.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5134193912528902850" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Pattern&lt;/span&gt;: Yoruba Bird (from: &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Folk Hats&lt;/span&gt; by Vicky Square)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Materials&lt;/span&gt;: Dalegarn - Svale, 50% cotton, 40% viscose, 10% silk&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Colours&lt;/span&gt;: Orange (3108), Pink (4417), Black (0090)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Amount&lt;/span&gt;: 50 grams of each colour&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Fiber Source&lt;/span&gt;: &lt;a href="http://www.ribbels.nl/"&gt;Ribbels&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Needles&lt;/span&gt;: 3.5mm&lt;/center&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1980110125184575430-5818939210452319003?l=tessacreations.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tessacreations.blogspot.com/feeds/5818939210452319003/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1980110125184575430&amp;postID=5818939210452319003' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1980110125184575430/posts/default/5818939210452319003'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1980110125184575430/posts/default/5818939210452319003'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tessacreations.blogspot.com/2007/11/yoruba-bird.html' title='Yoruba Bird'/><author><name>TessaS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14576900854392708533</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AHgfYCdvt8U/R0BSKUxCGsI/AAAAAAAAAKs/IDULLe-TBJc/s72-c/IMG_6639.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1980110125184575430.post-7552064287438951787</id><published>2007-11-16T10:28:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-11-19T15:49:34.565Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Noro'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='shawl'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='knitting'/><title type='text'>Second Noro Shawl</title><content type='html'>Finished the second Noro Shawl today. It is even better than the first one. The colours seem to blend together more because of the stitch pattern I used for this one.&lt;br /&gt;It was very simple: K1,P1,K1,P1 for two rows, and then change the pattern to P1,K1,P1,K1. I found out this is called American Moss Stitch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Vandaag heb ik de tweede Noro Sjaal afgerond. Hij is nog mooier dan de eerste. De kleuren lijken meer door elkaar te gaan lopen door de gebruikte steken.&lt;br /&gt;Het was echt heel eenvoudig; twee naalden met 1R,1A,1R,1A en daarna wisselen naar 1A,1R,1A,1R. Ik heb later ontdekt dat dit de dubbele gerstekorrel is.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_AHgfYCdvt8U/R0BOS0xCGrI/AAAAAAAAAKk/nzL3Gw0RDpU/s1600-h/IMG_6643.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_AHgfYCdvt8U/R0BOS0xCGrI/AAAAAAAAAKk/nzL3Gw0RDpU/s320/IMG_6643.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5134189660511279794" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Pattern&lt;/span&gt;: Generic pattern (inspired by Brooklyntweed)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Materials&lt;/span&gt;: Noro Kureyon 208 and 124&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Amount&lt;/span&gt;: 50 grams of each colour&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Fiber Source&lt;/span&gt;: &lt;a href="www.wolhalla.nl"&gt;Wolhalla&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Needles&lt;/span&gt;: 5.0mm&lt;/center&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1980110125184575430-7552064287438951787?l=tessacreations.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tessacreations.blogspot.com/feeds/7552064287438951787/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1980110125184575430&amp;postID=7552064287438951787' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1980110125184575430/posts/default/7552064287438951787'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1980110125184575430/posts/default/7552064287438951787'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tessacreations.blogspot.com/2007/11/second-noro-shawl_16.html' title='Second Noro Shawl'/><author><name>TessaS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14576900854392708533</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_AHgfYCdvt8U/R0BOS0xCGrI/AAAAAAAAAKk/nzL3Gw0RDpU/s72-c/IMG_6643.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1980110125184575430.post-3563172340152396743</id><published>2007-11-15T08:46:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-11-15T08:56:14.094Z</updated><title type='text'>Free Rice</title><content type='html'>You can help feed the poor people in the world by playing a simple wordgame on &lt;a href="http://www.freerice.com"&gt;this &lt;/a&gt;site:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AHgfYCdvt8U/RzwJQUxCGpI/AAAAAAAAAKY/o0VVv14Slqg/s1600-h/FreeRice.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AHgfYCdvt8U/RzwJQUxCGpI/AAAAAAAAAKY/o0VVv14Slqg/s320/FreeRice.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5132987851352447634" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For each word you get right, 10 grains of rice are donated through the United Nations to help end world hunger. 10 Grains of rice doesn't sound like a lot, but in the first month this resulted in 50,000 meals!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Als je naar deze site gaat kun je door het spelen van een simpel (engelstalig, maar laat dat je niet weerhouden, je kan gokken!) woordspelletje helpen met het oplossen van het hongerprobleem in de wereld.

They told my it was time to think of them in knitting terms instead of only making things for myself. And they were right. So I'm making them both a nice warm Noro shawl like &lt;a href="http://brooklyntweed.blogspot.com/2007/04/noro-scarf.html"&gt;this&lt;/a&gt;. Only I'm using Noro Kureyon instead of Noro Silk Garden (nice and warm!).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Inplaats van te beginnen met Lizard Ridge of een Noro muts ben ik begonnen met een sjaal (of eigenlijk moeten het er twee worden) voor mijn dochters. Ze vonden dat het tijd werd dat ik eens aan hun dacht, wat breien betreft dan, inplaats van alleen maar dingen voor mezelf te maken. En ze hadden gelijk. Dus maak ik voor beiden een lekker zachte, warme Noro sjaal. Zoiets als &lt;a href="http://brooklyntweed.blogspot.com/2007/04/noro-scarf.html"&gt;dit&lt;/a&gt;, maar dan met Noro Kureyon in plaats van Noro Silk Garden (lekker warm!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1980110125184575430-5712639060846794966?l=tessacreations.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tessacreations.blogspot.com/feeds/5712639060846794966/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1980110125184575430&amp;postID=5712639060846794966' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1980110125184575430/posts/default/5712639060846794966'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1980110125184575430/posts/default/5712639060846794966'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tessacreations.blogspot.com/2007/11/new-project.html' title='New project'/><author><name>TessaS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14576900854392708533</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1980110125184575430.post-692005310697224915</id><published>2007-11-05T07:56:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-11-06T20:06:55.480Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='shawl'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='knitting'/><title type='text'>Criss Cross Shawl</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AHgfYCdvt8U/Ry7NRiZ0IvI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/bKbdd4_NPKs/s1600-h/IMG_6597.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AHgfYCdvt8U/Ry7NRiZ0IvI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/bKbdd4_NPKs/s200/IMG_6597.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5129262726798123762" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My Criss Cross Shawl is finished!

I'm going to a Cat Empire concert at the end of the month in Amsterdam! The Cat Empire have been my favourite band ever since I saw them at the Oerol Festival this summer. They are very famous in Australia, but no one has heard about them over here. But they are absolutely great. So I'm very, very happy to go see them again. Can't wait till the 29th!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Joepie! Ik ga naar een concert van The Cat Empire eind van deze maand in de Melkweg, Amsterdam! The Cat Empire is mijn favoriete band sinds ik ze deze zomer op het Oerol Festival heb gezien. Ze zijn hartstikke beroemd in Australie, maar hier heeft niemand van ze gehoord. Maar ze zijn echt fantastisch (vooral life). Dus ik ben super, super blij dat ik ze weer ga zien. Kan bijna niet wachten tot de 29e!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So here is a bit of promotion for my favourite band! Great song, great lyrics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;En dan nu een beetje reclame voor mijn favoriete band; swingend lied, prima tekst!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="355"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/v-VOB8ajbzY&amp;rel=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/v-VOB8ajbzY&amp;rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&amp;friendid=9524976"&gt;The Cat Empire on MySpace&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1980110125184575430-5854377181164499826?l=tessacreations.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tessacreations.blogspot.com/feeds/5854377181164499826/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1980110125184575430&amp;postID=5854377181164499826' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1980110125184575430/posts/default/5854377181164499826'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1980110125184575430/posts/default/5854377181164499826'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tessacreations.blogspot.com/2007/11/concert.html' title='Concert'/><author><name>TessaS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14576900854392708533</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1980110125184575430.post-5356383135535749447</id><published>2007-11-01T09:18:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-11-01T09:24:17.066Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='shawl'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='knitting'/><title type='text'>Problem?</title><content type='html'>I think I'm going to start the weaving part today.

I'm almost at the part where I have to start weaving. It's a bit of a gamble, because I'm not following the pattern exactly. I'm using a thinner wool, so I've got to knit more rows before I can start the weaving.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Mijn Criss-Cross Sjaal schiet al aardig op. Ik ben bijna bij het stuk waar ik moet gaan weven. Het is een beetje een gok wanneer ik daar aan moet beginnen, want ik volg het patroon niet helemaal precies. Ik heb dunnere wol gebruikt, dus moet meer naalden breien voor ik aan het weefgedeelte kan beginnen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AHgfYCdvt8U/RymTpSZ0IsI/AAAAAAAAAH4/yqxlX30WW94/s1600-h/IMG_6584-1.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AHgfYCdvt8U/RymTpSZ0IsI/AAAAAAAAAH4/yqxlX30WW94/s200/IMG_6584-1.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5127791988262052546" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This morning my Noro wool arrived. It is so lovely! The colours are just perfect. The wool looked very soft on the picture, but in reality it isn't soft at all. It really feels and looks like wool, if you know what I mean. I love it.&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunatly they sent me the wrong size needles, so I can't get started yet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Vanmorgen is mijn Noro wol gearriveerd. Het is prachtig! De kleuren zijn echt perfect; heel intens. De wol zag er op het plaatje heel zacht uit, maar in het echt blijkt het vrij ruw te zijn. Het voelt als echte wol, zo van het schaap, als je begrijpt wat ik bedoel. Erg mooi.&lt;br /&gt;Helaas heb ik de verkeerde maat naalden erbij gekregen, dus ik kan er nog niet mee aan de slag.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AHgfYCdvt8U/RymS2iZ0IpI/AAAAAAAAAHg/n8vMYSWrmOQ/s1600-h/IMG_6580.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AHgfYCdvt8U/RymS2iZ0IpI/AAAAAAAAAHg/n8vMYSWrmOQ/s200/IMG_6580.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5127791116383691410" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AHgfYCdvt8U/RymS2yZ0IqI/AAAAAAAAAHo/54bVphwr7eM/s1600-h/IMG_6582.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AHgfYCdvt8U/RymS2yZ0IqI/AAAAAAAAAHo/54bVphwr7eM/s200/IMG_6582.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5127791120678658722" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1980110125184575430-1987916882206946800?l=tessacreations.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tessacreations.blogspot.com/feeds/1987916882206946800/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1980110125184575430&amp;postID=1987916882206946800' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1980110125184575430/posts/default/1987916882206946800'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1980110125184575430/posts/default/1987916882206946800'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tessacreations.blogspot.com/2007/10/getting-along-nicely.html' title='Getting along nicely'/><author><name>TessaS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14576900854392708533</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AHgfYCdvt8U/RymTpSZ0IsI/AAAAAAAAAH4/yqxlX30WW94/s72-c/IMG_6584-1.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1980110125184575430.post-2953904329228140823</id><published>2007-10-27T15:55:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-10-27T20:29:43.481+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='afghan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='shawl'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hat'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='knitting'/><title type='text'>Back to knitting</title><content type='html'>Finaly picked up my knitting needles again! I bought a pair of knitted gloves for my eldest daughter, and prommised my youngest I would make a similar pair for her myself. However, I just can't get it right. I get stuck with the fingers. I haven't figured out yet what it is I'm doing wrong. Will try and find another pattern and give it another go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Eindelijk mijn breinaalden weer eens opgepakt! Ik heb een paar gebreide handschoenen voor mijn oudste dochter gekocht (vingerloos, met een flap die je er overheen kan doen als het erg koud is). En ik heb mijn jongste dochter beloofd dat ik dezelfde voor haar zou maken. Maar het lukt niet echt. Ik krijg de vingers niet voor elkaar. Ik weet niet wat ik fout doe, maar ik kom of steken te kort, of ik hou steken over. Misschien nog eens een ander patroon zoeken en opnieuw proberen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While searching for information about knitting gloves on the internet, I found some other things I would really like to make. This morning I started on a Criss Cross Shawl. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_red8GxqTB-I/Rx3eqxLqoZI/AAAAAAAAAHc/ZGjbXA1ZlO4/s200/23102007165.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_red8GxqTB-I/Rx3eqxLqoZI/AAAAAAAAAHc/ZGjbXA1ZlO4/s200/23102007165.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I found the pattern &lt;a href="http://yarnivation.blogspot.com/2007/03/criss-cross-scarf.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. It's a really simple pattern, but the result looks absolutely fantastic. Hope mine will look just as good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Terwijl ik op zoek was naar informatie over handschoenen kwam ik nog wat andere patronen tegen die ik graag eens wil gaan maken. Vanmorgen ben ik alvast begonnen met de Criss Cross Shawl die hierboven te zien is. Het patroon heb ik &lt;a href="http://yarnivation.blogspot.com/2007/03/criss-cross-scarf.html"&gt;hier&lt;/a&gt; gevonden. Het is een heel eenvoudig patroon eigenlijk, maar het resultaat ziet er heel byzonder uit. Ik hoop maar dat die van mij net zo mooi wordt!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also want to make these sometime in the future:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://members.home.nl/tdpj/Patronen/Noro_hat/Noro%20hat_bestanden/Norohat3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px;" src="http://members.home.nl/tdpj/Patronen/Noro_hat/Noro%20hat_bestanden/Norohat3.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.knitty.com/issuefall06/images/lizardridgeBEAUTY.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px;" src="http://www.knitty.com/issuefall06/images/lizardridgeBEAUTY.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Patterns can be found &lt;a href="http://members.home.nl/tdpj/Patronen/Noro_hat/Norohat_nl.htm"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.knitty.com/issuefall06/PATTlizardridge.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. I've already ordered wool for the Lizard Ridge, and the same wool is used for the hat, so when it arives I can choose what to start on first.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;En deze &lt;a href="http://members.home.nl/tdpj/Patronen/Noro_hat/Norohat_nl.htm"&gt;muts&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.knitty.com/issuefall06/PATTlizardridge.html"&gt;sprei&lt;/a&gt; wil ik ook graag eens gaan maken. Ik heb al wol besteld voor de sprei, en diezelfde wol wordt ook gebruikt voor de muts. Dus ik kan altijd nog kiezen welke ik eerst ga maken.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1980110125184575430-2953904329228140823?l=tessacreations.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tessacreations.blogspot.com/feeds/2953904329228140823/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1980110125184575430&amp;postID=2953904329228140823' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1980110125184575430/posts/default/2953904329228140823'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1980110125184575430/posts/default/2953904329228140823'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tessacreations.blogspot.com/2007/10/back-to-knitting.html' title='Back to knitting'/><author><name>TessaS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14576900854392708533</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_red8GxqTB-I/Rx3eqxLqoZI/AAAAAAAAAHc/ZGjbXA1ZlO4/s72-c/23102007165.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1980110125184575430.post-2473842767449160059</id><published>2007-10-27T15:49:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2007-10-27T16:17:45.982+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lingerie'/><title type='text'>More lingerie</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AHgfYCdvt8U/RyNQqCZ0IkI/AAAAAAAAAGs/Dxg90ehiHB0/s1600-h/IMG_6449.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AHgfYCdvt8U/RyNQqCZ0IkI/AAAAAAAAAGs/Dxg90ehiHB0/s320/IMG_6449.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5126029484007629378" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finished another pair of knickers.

I've been on vacation. To France. We had planned to go to England, but what with the floodings there and everything we decided at the last moment to change our plans and go to France. We've had pretty good weather there. Some rainy days, but not too many. And the temperature was just right in my opinion; about 25 degrees Celcius. We first went to my parents who've got a house near Beaune in the Cote d'Or. Then we went on to the Allier river (near Vichy) and then to Bretagne and Normandy. We loved Bretagne. The sea was just perfect. We collected a lot of shells and we had nice swims. We will definitely go again.&lt;br /&gt;I took my knitting, but didn't do a single stitch. Shame on me! But I did take up my lace shawl the minute we got back home. So it's getting along nicely. About 20cm done. By the way. I first started all over. Didn't really like the pattern I had started with, and am now doing another one; the &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Japanese Kimono Shawl&lt;/span&gt; from Folk Shawls by Cheryl Oberle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Het is lang geleden dat ik voor het laatst iets gepost heb. Ik ben op vakantie geweest, naar Frankrijk. We zouden eigenlijk naar Engeland gaan dit jaar, maar hebben op het laatste moment onze plannen geweizigd in verband met de overstromingen daar en het slechte weer in het algemeen. Frankrijk dus, en we hebben prima weer gehad. Wel een paar regenachtige dagen, maar niet te veel. En de temperatuur was met zo'n graad of 25 precies goed vond ik. We zijn eerst naar mijn ouders gereden. Die hebben een vakantiehuis in de buurt van Beaune, in de Cote d'Or. Daarn door naar de Allier (in de buurt van Vichy) en toen door naar Bretagne en Normandie. Vooral Bretagne was een succes. De zee was perfect. We hebben veel schelpen verzameld en lekker gezwommen. We gaan er zeker nog eens naar terug.&lt;br /&gt;Ik had mijn breiwerk meegenomen, maar ik heb geen steek gebreid. Schande! Maar zodra we terug waren ben ik weer begonnen met mijn kanten sjaal. Heb nu zo'n 20 cm gebreid. Ik ben trouwens helemaal opnieuw begonnen omdat het patroon me toch een beetje tegen viel. Nu maak ik de &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Japanse Kimono Sjaal&lt;/span&gt; uit het boek Folk Shawls van Cheryl Oberle.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AHgfYCdvt8U/RrHTFyBAKCI/AAAAAAAAAC0/DiAhToPs7Sk/s1600-h/IMG_6404.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AHgfYCdvt8U/RrHTFyBAKCI/AAAAAAAAAC0/DiAhToPs7Sk/s320/IMG_6404.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5094084749811525666" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AHgfYCdvt8U/RrHTHyBAKDI/AAAAAAAAAC8/IEiLAAQ-Ey4/s1600-h/IMG_6406.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AHgfYCdvt8U/RrHTHyBAKDI/AAAAAAAAAC8/IEiLAAQ-Ey4/s320/IMG_6406.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5094084784171264050" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1980110125184575430-3565628305510994058?l=tessacreations.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tessacreations.blogspot.com/feeds/3565628305510994058/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1980110125184575430&amp;postID=3565628305510994058' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1980110125184575430/posts/default/3565628305510994058'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1980110125184575430/posts/default/3565628305510994058'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tessacreations.blogspot.com/2007/08/back.html' title='Back!'/><author><name>TessaS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14576900854392708533</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AHgfYCdvt8U/RrHTFyBAKCI/AAAAAAAAAC0/DiAhToPs7Sk/s72-c/IMG_6404.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1980110125184575430.post-9089355748803676055</id><published>2007-06-25T10:01:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-06-25T10:07:13.681+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dacapo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='shawl'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='knitting'/><title type='text'>Dacapo</title><content type='html'>My DaCapo has arrived! It came about a week ago, but I was away for a few days to the Oerol Festival on Terschelling (theater festival). But last night I got started. It's great fun to do so far. The wool is a beautiful quality, and the colours are just georgeous. I'll post some pictures soon, when I'm a bit further.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Together with the DaCapo, the wool for the Wedding Ring Shawl arrived. It's Kidsilk Haze from Rowan. I've got started right away, and it's just perfect. The shawl will be very fine and warm and wooly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Mijn DaCapo is eindelijk aangekomen! Een week geleden al, maar ik was een weekje naar het Oerol Festival op Terschelling. Gisteravond ben ik dan eindelijk begonnen. Het is erg leuk om te doen. De wol is van een prachtige kwaliteit, en de kleuren zijn schitterend. Ik zal snel wat foto's plaatsen, als ik wat verder ben.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tegelijk met mijn DaCapo kreeg ik de wol voor de Wedding Ring Shawl. Het is Kidsilk Haze van Rowan.

It is almost finished, so must be able to do that before the weekend is over.&lt;br /&gt;Then there is a second Falling Leaves sock to knit. And I also have to make another Tassled Sock. So not to worry; I'll be busy enough till my DaCapo arives!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Ik heb net gehoord dat mijn DaCapo pas ergens volgende week zal komen. Ze moeten hem bestellen in Denmarken!&lt;br /&gt;Dat betekent dat ik tijd heb om wat UFO's weg te werken. Ten eerste mijn sjaal. Die is bijna klaar, dus dat moet kunnen voor het weekend om is. Dan is er de tweede Vallende Blaadjes sok. En ik moet ook nog een tweede Kwastjes sok breien.

The design was in Handwerken Zonder Grenzen 135. While looking for the right yarn for this shawl I came across some beautiful designs by Hanne Falkenberg. I'd never seen her work before, but now I want to make one! Only problem is which one to choose. I like the &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Da Capo&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Diva&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Pygmalion&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Ping Pong&lt;/span&gt; the best. Can't choose yet, and then there is the colour to decide about as well...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Ik wil al een tijdje een sjaal in kantwerk breien. Het patroon staat in Handwerken zonder Grenzen nr 135. Op zoek naar het juiste garen voor deze sjaal stuitte ik op de prachtige ontwerpen van Hanne Falkenberg. Ik had nog nooit eerder iets van haar gezien, maar nu wil ik er ook één maken! Het enige probleem is; welke? Het mooiste vind ik; &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Da Capo&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Diva&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Pygmalion&lt;/span&gt; en &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Ping Pong&lt;/span&gt;. Ik kan nog niet kiezen, en dan moet ik ook nog over de kleur nadenken...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AHgfYCdvt8U/Rl1FRPTR1SI/AAAAAAAAABs/vPM03TyZe5A/s1600-h/bpyg.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AHgfYCdvt8U/Rl1FRPTR1SI/AAAAAAAAABs/vPM03TyZe5A/s200/bpyg.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5070284917956531490" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;Pygmalion&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AHgfYCdvt8U/Rl1FRfTR1TI/AAAAAAAAAB0/VrCZne1D9_o/s1600-h/dac1f.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AHgfYCdvt8U/Rl1FRfTR1TI/AAAAAAAAAB0/VrCZne1D9_o/s200/dac1f.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5070284922251498802" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;Da Capo&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AHgfYCdvt8U/Rl1FRfTR1UI/AAAAAAAAAB8/zOIwLMdxxzk/s1600-h/diva1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AHgfYCdvt8U/Rl1FRfTR1UI/AAAAAAAAAB8/zOIwLMdxxzk/s200/diva1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5070284922251498818" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;Diva&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AHgfYCdvt8U/Rl1FRvTR1VI/AAAAAAAAACE/uHpgq8cYhCs/s1600-h/Ping-pong_f.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AHgfYCdvt8U/Rl1FRvTR1VI/AAAAAAAAACE/uHpgq8cYhCs/s200/Ping-pong_f.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5070284926546466130" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;Ping Pong&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you like these, take a look at her site: www.knit.dk&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Als je dit ook zo mooi vindt, neem dan eens een kijkje op haar site: www.knit.dk&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1980110125184575430-8437784334148623234?l=tessacreations.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tessacreations.blogspot.com/feeds/8437784334148623234/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1980110125184575430&amp;postID=8437784334148623234' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1980110125184575430/posts/default/8437784334148623234'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1980110125184575430/posts/default/8437784334148623234'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tessacreations.blogspot.com/2007/05/beauties.html' title='Beauties!'/><author><name>TessaS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14576900854392708533</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AHgfYCdvt8U/Rl1FRPTR1SI/AAAAAAAAABs/vPM03TyZe5A/s72-c/bpyg.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1980110125184575430.post-5940685705613251148</id><published>2007-05-29T07:58:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2007-06-12T08:28:14.001+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='socks'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='knitting'/><title type='text'>More past work</title><content type='html'>Here is a picture of the first socks I knitted. Well, they are not actually the very first socks I knitted, because I did those about 30 years ago when I was at primary school! Unfortunately I don't have a picture of those socks. But I remember making them and being very proud when they were finished.&lt;br /&gt;These socks I knitted last Christmas for my eldest daughter and they were my re-introduction to knitting socks and the start of a new hobby.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Hier een foto van het eerste paar sokken dat ik gebreid heb. Dat is niet helemaal waar, want het allereerste paar heb ik een jaar of 30 geleden al gebreid. Op de Lagere School! Helaas heb ik daar geen foto van. Maar ik weet nog heel goed dat we het deden, en dat ik heel trots was toen ze af waren.&lt;br /&gt;Deze sokken heb ik in de afgelopen Kerstvakantie gebreid voor mijn oudste dochter. Mijn hernieuwde kennismaking met het breien van sokken en het begin van een nieuwe hobbie!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AHgfYCdvt8U/RlvPWvTR1QI/AAAAAAAAABc/t0wlzSb7mUE/s1600-h/IMG_6171-1.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AHgfYCdvt8U/RlvPWvTR1QI/AAAAAAAAABc/t0wlzSb7mUE/s320/IMG_6171-1.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5069873795097023746" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After that fist pair of socks I wanted to start on a new pair right away, but my youngest daughter prefered a pair of leg warmers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Na dit eerste paar sokken wilde ik meteen met een tweede paar beginnen, maar mijn jongste dochter had liever een paar beenwarmers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AHgfYCdvt8U/RlvPW_TR1RI/AAAAAAAAABk/tamVndxoPs0/s1600-h/IMG_6175-1.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AHgfYCdvt8U/RlvPW_TR1RI/AAAAAAAAABk/tamVndxoPs0/s320/IMG_6175-1.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5069873799391991058" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1980110125184575430-5940685705613251148?l=tessacreations.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tessacreations.blogspot.com/feeds/5940685705613251148/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1980110125184575430&amp;postID=5940685705613251148' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1980110125184575430/posts/default/5940685705613251148'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1980110125184575430/posts/default/5940685705613251148'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tessacreations.blogspot.com/2007/05/more-past-work.html' title='More past work'/><author><name>TessaS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14576900854392708533</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AHgfYCdvt8U/RlvPWvTR1QI/AAAAAAAAABc/t0wlzSb7mUE/s72-c/IMG_6171-1.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1980110125184575430.post-4678890692353529298</id><published>2007-05-28T22:01:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-05-28T22:03:11.101+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Actie is Reactie!</title><content type='html'>Voor iedereen die mijn blog leest en een blog heeft: Kopieer het onderstaande en plaats het op je blog.

Daarnaast willen we te kennen geven dat we niet zonder Handwerken zonder Grenzen kunnen en graag willen dat het tijdschrift door zal gaan, in de vorm zoals deze nu uitgegeven wordt.&lt;br /&gt;      Anderzijds is het belangrijk dat mensen die nog geen abonnee zijn en dit wel willen worden, dit kenbaar gaan maken. Zo kan een toekomstige uitgever zien dat er echt een markt voor het tijdschrift is.

I've got some lovely yarn from &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Colinette - Jitterbug Raphael&lt;/span&gt;. It's a purelish, pinkish colour with some blue and black. First I started on some socks, but it didn't turn out the way I liked; first I used a stich pattern that didn't suit the yarn, then I started over and the size just wasn't right. So I decided to do something completely different; a shawl. Found a lovely pattern on the Wolhalla site of a shawl in a wave pattern.&lt;br /&gt;I'll post a picture later. I don't have the right card reader for my camera. But I've ordered one and it will arive in a day or two.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1980110125184575430-2996882679485909030?l=tessacreations.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tessacreations.blogspot.com/feeds/2996882679485909030/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1980110125184575430&amp;postID=2996882679485909030' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1980110125184575430/posts/default/2996882679485909030'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1980110125184575430/posts/default/2996882679485909030'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tessacreations.blogspot.com/2007/05/shawl.html' title='Shawl'/><author><name>TessaS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14576900854392708533</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1980110125184575430.post-5212434919533104034</id><published>2007-05-13T11:59:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-05-14T08:59:07.856+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='socks'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='knitting'/><title type='text'>Socks</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_AHgfYCdvt8U/RkcrP0y_jYI/AAAAAAAAAAs/U21UOC32XR4/s1600-h/P1000970.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_AHgfYCdvt8U/RkcrP0y_jYI/AAAAAAAAAAs/U21UOC32XR4/s320/P1000970.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5064063856871968130" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last Friday I finished a pair of socks for my mother. I used a pattern I found on the Wolhalla site (see links). I'm afraid the pattern for this sock is only available in Dutch. See &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Kadootjes&lt;/span&gt;, third sock from the left on the top row. I used &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Opal Handpainted - Zomernacht&lt;/span&gt; for my socks. The pattern is not too hard, and the result is great.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_AHgfYCdvt8U/RkcqM0y_jXI/AAAAAAAAAAk/7lW8Ll1lSUs/s1600-h/P1000971.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_AHgfYCdvt8U/RkcqM0y_jXI/AAAAAAAAAAk/7lW8Ll1lSUs/s320/P1000971.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5064062705820732786" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would like to start on another pattern I found on the Wolhalla site; socks with tassels (first sock on the second row). I've already got &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Opal Uni 32 - Black&lt;/span&gt; and some lovely &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Trekking Colorline 145&lt;/span&gt; for the pattern. But I don't have needles size 3 yet, so I can't start. Hopefully I'll get them soon!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1980110125184575430-5212434919533104034?l=tessacreations.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tessacreations.blogspot.com/feeds/5212434919533104034/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1980110125184575430&amp;postID=5212434919533104034' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1980110125184575430/posts/default/5212434919533104034'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1980110125184575430/posts/default/5212434919533104034'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tessacreations.blogspot.com/2007/05/socks.html' title='Socks'/><author><name>TessaS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14576900854392708533</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_AHgfYCdvt8U/RkcrP0y_jYI/AAAAAAAAAAs/U21UOC32XR4/s72-c/P1000970.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1980110125184575430.post-900285911721316597</id><published>2007-05-13T11:55:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-05-14T08:59:45.954+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='quilting'/><title type='text'>Past work</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AHgfYCdvt8U/RkbvCUy_jUI/AAAAAAAAAAM/F838wLbwv3E/s1600-h/kop.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AHgfYCdvt8U/RkbvCUy_jUI/AAAAAAAAAAM/F838wLbwv3E/s400/kop.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5063997654246067522" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To see the things I have made in the past you can visit my website at www.quiltster.nl&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope you enjoy it!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1980110125184575430-900285911721316597?l=tessacreations.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tessacreations.blogspot.com/feeds/900285911721316597/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1980110125184575430&amp;postID=900285911721316597' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1980110125184575430/posts/default/900285911721316597'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1980110125184575430/posts/default/900285911721316597'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tessacreations.blogspot.com/2007/05/past-work.html' title='Past work'/><author><name>TessaS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14576900854392708533</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AHgfYCdvt8U/RkbvCUy_jUI/AAAAAAAAAAM/F838wLbwv3E/s72-c/kop.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1980110125184575430.post-4182544042361361513</id><published>2007-05-13T11:23:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-05-13T12:16:38.258+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Introduction</title><content type='html'>Time to join the world wide web of bloggers!
