Desde hace unas semanas la comunidad anglosajona se ha enterado que a través de la plataforma Discord se están distribuyendo muchos patrones pagos de tejido/crochet. Ahora hace una semana la comunidad latina se dio cuenta que a través de Scribd muchos usuarios también están compartiendo patrones pagos de diseñadores latinos. Esto lastima mucho a la comunidad, pero no entraré en detalles ya que otros lo han hecho de una manera muy bien explicada. En el  CLUB DE LA MADEJA , de Susana Lobos hay un excelente articulo. Y tambien Cecilia Losada en un  REEL  da buenisima información. Entre la comunidad latina nos enteramos que algunos de los perpetradores son TESTERS, ESTUDIANTES y CLIENTES. En base a eso, estos son mis consejos con respecto a los testers: 1.- Limpia tu lista de tejedores de prueba, evalúa a cada miembro y deja a los de confianza. 2.- Ve a SCRIBD y encuentra cualquier patrón que sea tuyo y repórtalo. 3.- Si ves algún nombre en scribd que sea similar a...

 NOTAS DEL PODCAST Esta con nosotros Luz G Alva  | Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/luzgalv/ Nos conversa un poco de la historia del tejido, de su historia y también de las prendas clasicas del buen vestir.

DYI theme Makeup was never my strength but lately I watch lots of tutorials and this one absolutely made it super easy to follow. El maquillaje nunca fue mi fuerte, pero últimamente me dedico a mirar tutoriales y este me encanto, facilísimo de seguir.  My recommendation in makeup brands is always those either vegan or not animal tested.  A bit difficult to say which brand as every country has its own accessibility. Mi recomendación en maquillaje es siempre vegano o no probado en animales.  Dificil recomendar una línea específica porque cada país tiene sus propias capacidades. **** One of my other fav DIY is growing plants from seeds, how cool is this avocado tree? | Una de las cosas que mas disfruto es hacer crecer plantas desde sus semillas, ¿Que tan interesante es este arbol de palta (aguacate)?

Have you ever been in a place where you have saved too much yarn scraps from other projects? I sure have. I have a blanket going on with just scraps from other projects but I still have a lot that needs to be used if not tossed away.  So my family does not feel overwhelmed with the clutter. So going on my Instagram feed I saw a few instagramers knitting a blanket with bits and pieces Click on image to see the profile This gave me an idea, why not a colorful shawl? Here more ways to DeStash - Pinterest My friend Carmen Tye is the queen of destashing, please visit her to see her ideas. LIMPIANDO RETAZOS... Alguna vez sentiste que estabas en un momento en que has guardado demasiados retazos de lana de otros proyectos?  Yo si Tengo una frazadita que voy tejiendo con ellos, voy en la mitad y aun así, siento que esas sobras se estan saliendo de control y tengo que usarlas o deshecerme de ellas. Y en ese pensamiento estaba cuando en Instagram en la ...

                    • Grace :    the free and unmerited favor of God, as manifested in the salvation of sinners and the   bestowal of blessings. Dignify, Honor, Favor. Grace is such a beautiful concept, it has such a strong meaning, that I absolutely love but where I totally fail. When my sister was pregnant with my niece, she knew her name was going to be Gabriela but she was in need of a middle name.  (all her kids have two middles names, one for the day of the week they were born in  Swahili and a regular middle name that means something special) So we all started looking for middle names before the baby was born.  To my delight she chose my suggestion, Grace and it rhymes beautifully - Gabriela Grace.  I have always find the meaning of Grace so beautiful, I was giving Salvation by Grace only, I did not deserve it and trust me, I know I did not deserve it.  ( yes I'm a Christian, if you a...

My little one loves a bowl of Chili accompanied by two slices of fresh bread. So when the weather changes to a more colder one, this becomes a family favorite. Here is my quick easy recipe that might not be as it is made in the south or somewhere else, but it is what works for a busy mom that many times has no time to cook something too elaborate. I usually have all the veggies cut for the week in the fridge to make my cooking time easier. Feel free to toss everything in a slow cooker and let it sit for 6 hrs if you prefer. INGREDIENTS • 1/2 lbs of ground beef (sometimes I buy ground turkey) • 1 cup each of minced/cube cut                                  - Onions                                  - Peppers Red/yellow/green                         ...

There are certain materials that are hard to knit, some you might not even know how to knit or you are just skeptical to try. Ask questions to the pros! Instagram is a great tool to ask questions, post a picture, wait a few days for the answer and then decide what to do. You are not loosing anything, you will earn knowledge that you currently do not have. I personally like to ask questions, even though I have knitted for over 30 years, I do not know everything, but I surely like to learn. I asked on Instagram on a Story post how to knit certain yarn that to me looked more like a sewing garland then a yarn but my mom insisted it was a yarn.  Sure enough she was right. Let me tell you a bit about this material... Mom is the queen of Yar sales/Garage sales, in some of those outing she found this funny looking yarn, in two colors. Red - only one ball White - 5 balls Fluffy, cute but weird She does knit too but I guess when she actually wanted to knit this material, it wa...

Some people only knit or crochet with high end fibers. Which is amazing if you have the budget for it. I usually buy good expensive yarns if the project is for someone super special or if the client is willing to pay for the material plus the labour, which becomes pretty expensive as any project takes time and that equals to money/hr of labour. My all time favorite place to buy is Knit picks as it always have sales on good quality yarn. Now I have preference when it comes to non expensive fibers, those bought either at Michael’s or Walmart here in Canada, in cotton or bamboo base yarns.  Specially if they are for lil ones, as their skin is very delicate. Other personal fav is thread that family sends from Chile.  Most af them are cotton base and have a bit of viscose for flexibility.  Hyperallergenic and amazing to knit for babies and also for our all time favourite, shawls!  I always recomend to read the labels for caring, I usually wash my knits in ...
