Working in the schools

The company is working for two weeks in schools. A performance/workshop in the morning, and other in the afternoon.

The kids are great!

Patterns

I´ve found this patterns in Vickie Howell blog. There are some other ones quite interesting.
Check them out!

Upside down

While I´m performing twice a day, in schools with the company, in a project for kids between 5 and 10, my Victoria stays at Luis place, my brother, and decided to practice some exercises!

Claudia arrived!!

Claudia arrived from London! ( People say we look like sisters...)
We have a full week to share.
Carla took the photos, at a sunday afternoon at Palácio de Cristal.
We went to meet Paulo, Ana and Joca.
Victoria had a great time runing after the birds, and stayed for a long time at a stranger´s table, she prefered to explore the strangers´s purse than my lap... WEll...

In The Purl Bee, between tips about knitting, crochet or sewing, there is a blanket tutorial.
The blanket is beautiful and what I found more interesting, is the fact the squares are all different sizes.

Let´s get it on our hooks!

Another vintage pattern

This is another pattern that I love, and that I´m wishing to get it on my needles.
I´m always fascinated about 20´s hats.



This is the first one I did. I was very happy with it.
It´s on someone else´s head now...

Vintage knitting

I can´t stop being fascinated about vintage patterns.
I alwayl liked grandmother´s clothes and purses, forgotten coffers and second hand shops.
Victorian patterns, from the 20´s, 40´s, 50´s, purses, hats, necklaces, dresses, eveything.
I use to search them on the internet... And I had found very interesting ones.


This site for example, is full of what I expect to be future projects of mine. In a nice way, you can choose one of yhe patterns for free. I chose Sample n. 3 (Bolero/Wrap). The one in the picture above.
I love it!

And what about purses, this one goes to a friend.
And this one is for me...
