El lunes me parece un día perfecto porque, por lo general, el fin de semana es cuando tengo más tiempo para dedicarle al tejido. El sábado por la noche me dediqué a revisar la caja plástica donde guardo mis lanas e hilos para ver cuál sería el proyecto del domingo. Como ya les he dicho, mi reto es realizar proyectos solo con el material que tengo en casa.
Happy and blessed Monday my dear and appreciated needleworkers. Thanks to this community, Mondays have become a very special day, as it is the day when all of us needlecrafters get together to show our needlework.
Monday seems like a perfect day to me because, usually, the weekend is when I have more time to dedicate to knitting. Saturday night I went through the plastic box where I keep my yarns and threads to see what Sunday's project would be. As I have already told you, my challenge is to make projects only with the material I have at home.
In my box I found a material that I bought a long time ago in a store in the center of the city. It is a store that I like very much since they sell all kinds of yarns and wools of different materials, colors and textures. The first time I was in this store I bought many yarns, some of them I had never seen before, so I had no idea what they were used for. Such is the case of this yarn called "mayita", I bought it because I found interesting its texture and the color shading between white, black and gray. However, I had no idea what I could do with it because it is a ball of only 300 grams, which would not be enough for a complete project.
In addition to this ball of maya, I also found a few meters of black cotton cord. So after a long time of thinking about it, it occurred to me to knit a little purse. It would have to be very small and with a basic stitch since the material was very little. However, that didn't discourage me at all, since I have many little nieces and I was sure that one of them might like it. So, that same night, I started knitting my new project.
Gracias al grosor del hilo, pude terminar este proyecto en menos de una hora. Creo que es el proyecto más rápido que he tejido.
Lo cual me pareció fantástico. El resultado final también me encantó; tanto así que ahora quiero ir a comprar más de este material para tejer una cartera más grande.
I was pleasantly surprised at how good it felt to knit with this material. I had to use my number 5 aluminum needle, which is one of the largest I have, because both the chain and the cord are thicker than the yarns I usually knit with. I worked in a spiral, knitting loops in low stitches taking the inner strand of the chain to achieve a relief effect in the fabric.
Thanks to the thickness of the yarn, I was able to finish this project in less than an hour. I think it's the fastest project I've ever knitted.
Which I thought was fantastic. I also loved the end result; so much so that now I want to go buy more of this material to knit a bigger purse.
Well, my dear needleworkers, I thank you for your constant support and your kind comments that encourage me to continue knitting and to share my little projects with you. I take this opportunity to remind you that we have a new challenge active in the community, the WIP Challege, to which I invite you to participate and support our colleagues. Thanks for reading, greetings and blessings.
