Quan les mosques tenen set, els mosquits volen tabaco II
He acabat el gorro que vaig començar la setmana passada. El patró es diu . Em va costar una mica pillar el patró, però en realitat es molt fàcil i es fa molt ràpid. La talla mitjana, que és la que vaig fer jo, queda una mica petita (en tot cas per mi, que tampoc és que tingui un cap tan gran). O sigui que recomanaria fer la gran en cas de dubte.
I finished the hat that I started last week. The pattern is called . I took some time to understand the instructions, but in reality it is very easy and quick to do. The medium size, the one that I did, is a little bit small, at least in my case (and I don't think I have a huge head). I would recommend to do a bigger size in case of doubt.

Blog del Purl Bee - mil projectes ideals!
Buscant patrons al Raverly, he trobat aquest link per aquesta bufanda al blog del purl bee. La hem trobat molt mona i he decidit que val un post. Intentaré trobar la llana a Suissa per fer-la, i ja us diré com va. El punt sembla complicadet, però queda molt bé! Al blog del Purl hi ha mil altres projectes per fer cosint o en mitja.
Looking for patterns at Raverly, I found this link for this cowl on the purl bee blog. I found it soo cute that I decided I was worth a post. I will try to find the right yarn in Switzerland to do it and I'll keep you updated on how it goes! The stitch looks complicated but it looks great! On the Purl Bee blog there are also other sewing and knitting projects, I highly recommend it!

Quan les mosques tenen set, els mosquits volen tabaco
Com que encara no havia equipat a tothom pel fred polar que fa a Suissa, estic fent un altre gorro, seguint un patrò com sempre del Raverly. M'he oblidat del nom, el posaré amb la foto del gorro acabat!
As I didn't equipped everyone for the cold in Switzerland, I'm now doing another hat, following a Raverly pattern as always. I forgot the pattern name, I'll post it with the foto of the finished hat!

Que no es refredin les idees!
My friends came to Switzerland to ski and to make sure that they would not be cold, I did a hat for each one of them, in different colors and with my logo on one side. The pattern is the very warm hat pattern that can be found in Raverly. Some of the pom poms where moving a little bit, but we could arrange that. And now they are ready for the cold!

Més sabatilles
Aquí unes altres sabatilles del llibre Weekend Sewing. Aquesta vegada he fet una bossa per portar les sabatilles (ara són sabatilles de viatge).
Here another pair of slippers done with the pattern from Weekend Sewing. This time I made a bag to carry them, so they are now Travel Slippers!

Pijama
Uns 6 mesos més tard d'haver comprat la tela, finalment m'he decidit a fer el pijama! L'he fet com els altres que havia fet d'estiu, però aquesta vegada amb pantalons llargs i a més hi he afegit butxaques (m'han quedat una mica baixes però tampoc és un drama!
6 months after buying the fabrics, I finally did the pijama! I did like it did the summer ones, following the Weekend Sewing pattern (see older posts), but this time with longer pants and I added the pockets (they are a little bit low, but it is not that bad!)

Instruccions per cosir una bossa per joguines - Toy Bag Tutorial
(English below - this is my first tutorial, so I'm sorry if instructions are not 100% clear... )
Aquesta bossa està pensada perqué es pugui omplir i tancar fàcilment . Jo la utilitzo per guardar uns animals de fusta de la meva neboda, però es poden trobar mil altres utilitats!
La gràcia de la bossa sòn les teles, és trobar dues teles diferents però que vagin bé juntes i una tercera tela o cinta.
Es necesita:
· 2 Teles de més o menys de , o de la grandària que es vulgui fer la bossa (en el meu cas)
· 1 cinta de més o menys (o dues diferents, una per cada banda)
· Fil d’un color que vaig bé amb la tela que quedarà per fora
Es comença tallant les teles del mateix tamany. Després s’ajunten del revés (és a dir la part interior de la tela per fora) i es cusen pels laterals.
Es planxen les costures cap a un costat i es dona la volta a les teles.
S’agafa el dalt i es plega en dues vegades (una vegada, es planxa, i després una altre). Es cus per sota, de manera a que quedi espai per fer pasar la cinta. A les puntes, perqué quedi més maco, jo les doblego endins a la primera volta i ho planxo.
Es fa el mateix amb la part de sota.
Dobleguem la bossa ajuntant la part de dalt i la part de baix.
Es pasa la cinta que tancarà la bossa per el “dalt” i el “baix”. La mateixa cinta passa per les dues parts , i surt del mateix costat que ha entrat. D’aquesta manera quan estirem les dues cintes, la bossa es tancarà.
Amb una agulla de cap, engatxem la cinta a baix de la bossa com a la foto (tindrem dos trossos de cinta, els hem de tenir engantxats junts.
Cosim els laterals de la bossa, intentant cosir bastant arran, i fent atenció a ben cosir la part on hi han les cintes (es pot cosir vàries vegades per reforçar la costura).
Es dona la volta a la bossa i “voilà”!
English
This bag is done so that it can be opened and closed easily. I used it to keep some wooden animals of my niece, but you can find thousand other applications. To make the bag look good you, you need to combine 2 nice fabrics that are different but go good together.
You will need:
· 2 fabrics, more or less of ( or any size you like)
· 1 ribbon of more or less (you can also use 2 different ribbons, one for each size)
You begin cutting the fabric with the same size. Afterwards you put them together, but upside down (the good faces of the fabric are facing each other) and you sew the laterals.
Do the same on the other side and fold the fabric, putting the top and the back together, the exterior part of the bag on the interior.
Put the ribbon on the “top” and the “bottom”. The same ribbon goes through both sides, and goes out on the same side that went in. That way, if you pull on the 2 ribbons at the same time, the bag will close.
The ribbons have to then be pinned at the bottom of the bag, as in the picture. (make sure that you pin both ribbons at the same distance from the bottom) .

Very warm men scarf
Abans de Nadal vaig acabar la "very warm men scarf". El punt és díficil de fer al principi, però al final li agafes el "truco" i no és tan complicat. I queda molt maco, i molt gruixut!
Before Christmas I finished the very warm men scarf. The stitch is a little bit difficult to learn, but at the end you get how to do it and it's not that complicated. And it looks very nice and very thick!
