Mon sac pour la rentrée : tricoté en rangs raccourcis et points d'astrakan Contrairement à l'an passé, pas de couture pour la rentrée de Jérémy ... "Je préfère les trucs des magasins, si tu m'en fais, ça fait trop p'tit garçon à sa maman !!!" ... Pour me consoler, j'ai décidé de ME faire UN sac pour MOI ! Regardez comme je me suis gâtée et après je vous explique tout : J'aime beaucoup les sacs avec les anses rondes rigides comme celles-là et en voulais un en tricot ... au début, je voulais faire simplement des rectangles mais ça ne s'ajuste pas très bien au niveau de ces fameuses anses ... Bref, voici les EXPLICATIONS (tuto) : - Avec des aiguilles n°8 (j'ai utilisé environ 300 g de laine car le point d'astrakan en consomme beaucoup), j'ai monté 38 mailles, tricoté 2 rangs de point mousse puis, j'ai tricoté en rang raccourcis sur 12 mailles : C'est quoi les rangs raccourcis ? On tricote les 26 mailles, on retourne l'ouvrage (sans tricoter les 12 autres), on fait une augmentation sur la première maille et on tricote les 25 autres. On passe à l'assemblage : A bientôt

Recycle your old t-shirts into yarn Are your hands itching to starting crocheting or knitting but you have no yarn at home? Do you have some old t-shirts laying around at home? If your answer is twice yes, than your problem is solved and you can start in no time ;-). Of course you can buy recycled T-shirt yarn in the shop, it has the same thickness as the one you will cut but it will have a different sentimental value. Nowadays we do think more in terms of recycling, well this is an excellent way to start. When searching on the net you will find more ways of 'how to cut your T-shirt into yarn', but for me this video explains it very well. The only part of the t-shirt used is the part just underneath the arms till just above the bottom seem of your t-shirt. This yarn is excellent for potholders or for home made carpets.

{capture the moment}: Embellish It! Senior Challenge Embellishments are the finishing touch that can bring a project from mediocre to amazing in just a matter of minutes, but they also can get to be expensive, especially some of the more intricate versions available on the market today. This month I have challenged the senior design team to take the path that Michelle Wooderson has explored lately (such as demonstrated in her posts HERE and HERE) and create their own embellishments with supply basics in their stash. Not only is Michelle's whole idea fun & economical, it also allows you to customize color & style to give you coordination possibilities for nearly any type of project. I thought I would start you off with my new little exploration, the world of crocheted flowers. I have created a step by step tutorial that even a beginner could follow along with. 4 yards DMC cotton embroidery floss (about half a standard package)US size 2 crochet hook If you would like to see my list of PTI/DMC numbers, you can access it HERE. ch= chain stitch
