Most was bought as &lt;a href="http://www.wormspit.com/mawatas.htm"&gt;mawata squares&lt;/a&gt; (also called silk hankies), but the mauve-coloured one I'm spinning now is from &lt;a href="http://www.hjsstudio.com/silkcaps.html"&gt;silk caps&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5AYj1l7rYhA/SlKdnYoK-VI/AAAAAAAAAMg/qNGht1AopIU/s1600-h/030720091523.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5AYj1l7rYhA/SlKdnYoK-VI/AAAAAAAAAMg/qNGht1AopIU/s200/030720091523.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355516206848342354" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Comparados com os &lt;i&gt;silk caps&lt;/i&gt;, os quadrados de seda (mawata), mais pequenos, satisfazem a vontade de ver algo pronto mais depressa, porque se&lt;a href="http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEwinter05/FEATsilkhankies.html"&gt; esticam (para fiar)&lt;/a&gt; mais depressa também. E separam-se mais direitinhos uns dos outros (é por isso que eu vou tirando cada camada de seda do interior do &lt;i&gt;silk cap&lt;/i&gt;: assim a parte desarranjada fica escondida :) ). De resto, não há diferenças na fiação. /&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt; Comparison: mawata squares are much smaller than silk caps, so they are better to satisfy any sudden urge to see the spun single right away, as they are &lt;a href="http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEwinter05/FEATsilkhankies.html"&gt;faster to draft/stretch&lt;/a&gt;. And they separate into neater, nicer-looking layers (when spinning a silk cap, I take each layer from the inside, in order to hide the mess ;) In fact, I turn it inside-out, remove one layer, tuck the mess, and turn outside-in again). The spinning experience is otherwise similar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5AYj1l7rYhA/SlKdnJ3DrAI/AAAAAAAAAMY/gmFaEVJhKKc/s1600-h/030720091522.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5AYj1l7rYhA/SlKdnJ3DrAI/AAAAAAAAAMY/gmFaEVJhKKc/s200/030720091522.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355516202884246530" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Quando terminar estas, fica a faltar a seda em branco cru. São 50 g, e ainda não sei se hei-de fiar assim em cru, ou tingi-la primeiro de alguma cor.

As all these searches come from Brasil, the following will be written only in Portuguese, sorry.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Não sei porquê, ultimamente têm vindo cá ter muitas pesquisas no Google à procura de "caxemira", "o que é caxemira" ou inúmeras variantes ortográficas. A mais frequente é aliás "o que é cashmere", curiosamente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Como escrevi num &lt;a href="http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/2006/11/linhas-novas-new-yarns.html?showComment=1180526820000#c1536851864881598268"&gt;comentário antigo&lt;/a&gt; (onde as pesquisas estão a ir parar), &lt;blockquote&gt;Caxemira é um tipo de cabra. Esta cabra tem dois tipos de pêlos, tal como muitos mamíferos: os pêlos de guarda, exteriores, eriçados e duros, e o subpêlo, lanoso, macio, leve e quente. O subpêlo desta cabra é especialmente macio, leve e quente, isola bem da humidade, e e por isso é muito procurado como fibra. É a este subpêlo que se chama caxemira. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A caxemira é cara porque é muito procurada, porque as cabras caxemira não são assim tao frequentes, mas sobretudo porque recolher a caxemira é um processo demorado, porque não queremos pêlos de guarda duros e ásperos (tão duros que servem para fazer escovas!) no meio do subpêlo macio. Então, se a cabra caxemira for tosquiada, é depois preciso eliminar os pêlos de guarda, que é um processo demorado, ou então o subpêlo é recolhido penteando a cabra na época da mudança do pêlo, o que é mais demorado mas permite a passagem de menos pêlos de guarda. Seja como for, é preciso limpar a fibra várias vezes até ela ficar livre de pêlos de guarda. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Além do mais, as cabras não dão muito subpêlo, ao contrário das ovelhas que podem dar imensa lã.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alguns comentários extra: acho sempre graça à expressão "de lana caprina" para significar coisa de pouco valor, sem grande importância, dado que a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cashmere_goat"&gt;cabra caxemira&lt;/a&gt; dá uma fibra que é bastante cara e procurada por permitir fazer tecidos simultaneamente muito finos, muito leves e muito isolantes/quentes (as fibras animais mais caras, ao que julgo saber, são as de iaque e de vicunha, bastante raras, que conseguem ser ainda mais isolantes/quentes e mais leves).&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11920391-8199260030670700473?l=knittingthrough.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/feeds/8199260030670700473/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11920391&amp;postID=8199260030670700473' title='4 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/8199260030670700473'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/8199260030670700473'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/2009/07/servico-publico-o-que-e-caxemira.html' title='Serviço Público: O que é caxemira / Answering the searches: Cashmere'/><author><name>knit_tgz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04110553863107273416</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920391.post-5177776119060896273</id><published>2009-06-29T23:35:00.003Z</published><updated>2009-06-30T00:57:40.322Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fiação/Spinning'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Vida real/Real life'/><title type='text'>Dias bons / Good days</title><content type='html'>Em poucas palavras: amigos daqueles que são quase irmãos; música cantada ao vivo para pouquinhos; um fim de tarde ligeiro na FIA; e dois fusos cheios de fio de seda, prontos para fazer o fio dobrado.

Last Saturday I reached a new level: I watched the 4th film of a series I had never watched before :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Fiar dá gozo. Não é uma actividade criativa, é até algo que se faz com o cérebro quase desligado, e no entanto satisfaz o lado criativo. /&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Spinning is very pleasurable.

Penso que ficou perdido nos rascunhos porque pode ser tão pessoal ou tão impessoal quanto eu quiser. No rascunho dizia para escrever 6 coisas relativas a cada data, mas é muito, fico-me pelas 4. E ainda nada de trabalhos manuais...  (a partir daqui só em inglês, desculpem)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;I have no idea where I found this meme, that can be very personal or not personal at all. I tried to strike a balance between sharing a bit of my life but not too much (this is a public blog and I wouldn't feel comfortable). It had 6 items on each entry, but I decided to share only 4! (no crafting to share yet...)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;20 years ago (1989)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) I was at school (of course) in a class where I didn't really fit in. Was a clumsy teenager with glasses, a haircut that made me look way older (I finally had my long long hair cut that year, no more pigtails for me), nerdy and a bit weird.&lt;br /&gt;2) Was really surprised, and I must admit, hopeful, with the fall of Berlin Wall and huge changes in Eastern Europe.&lt;br /&gt;3) Soon discovered that after all human beings hadn't changed that much.&lt;br /&gt;4) Thought that at 30 I would be married and have quite a bunch of kids. And be a bit old ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;10 years ago (1999)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Last year of my &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;licenciatura&lt;/span&gt;. Which means I finished my undergraduate degree (5 years). Still nerdy, but among nerds :) Instead of glasses, I had contact lenses, my hair was longer again, and I was no longer a teenager, so a bit less clumsy.&lt;br /&gt;2) Had lots of plans that didn't go quite as planned.&lt;br /&gt;3) Had become a Christian the previous year, but hadn't found "my" church yet.&lt;br /&gt;4) Thought that at 30 I would be in another country doing exciting things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;5 years ago (2004)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Moved into the house where I live now.&lt;br /&gt;2) Had become a Catholic (I still am one :) ), found a parish, joined the choir and got confirmed.&lt;br /&gt;3) Was slowly starting a relationship with one of my close friends.&lt;br /&gt;4) Do not remember what I thought I would be doing at 30...  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;1 year ago (2008)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Finished my dissertation. Worked in a (sort of) conventional job.&lt;br /&gt;2) Still live in the same house, still am a Catholic, still am on the same parish and on the same choir.&lt;br /&gt;3) But the relationship ended (on friendly terms).&lt;br /&gt;4) Was already older than 30, and thought that after all being 30-something is still being young ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Today&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Who knows!...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11920391-114728653522931996?l=knittingthrough.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/feeds/114728653522931996/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11920391&amp;postID=114728653522931996' title='2 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/114728653522931996'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/114728653522931996'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/2007/05/meme.html' title='Meme (old_draft)'/><author><name>knit_tgz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04110553863107273416</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920391.post-8124212548137486079</id><published>2009-05-31T22:52:00.002Z</published><updated>2009-05-31T22:54:43.312Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Blogando sobre o blogue/Meta-blogging'/><title type='text'>4 anos? / 4 years?</title><content type='html'>Este blogue tem já 4 anos?

É no chamado crochet tunisino, que se faz com uma só agulha de barbela como as tradicionais portuguesas de tricot. Não faço ideia que vou fazer com ele, mas serve para aprender. Se for o caso desmancho-o também. / &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt; I got tired of the sock, so I frogged it and used the yarn to start &lt;a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/knittingthrough/stash-buster-blanket"&gt;another project&lt;/a&gt; (Ravelry login needed). It's Tunisian crochet (Portuguese traditional knitting needles are like Tunisian crochet needles, except that we knit with a pair, of course). I have no idea what this project will turn out to be, but at least I am learning a new craft.

Se forem aparecendo mudanças, não é de admirar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Opiniões ou sugestões são bem-vindas!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-----&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;It's cooler (it will get even cooler in the next few days) and so I decided to tidy up a bit this blog. First thing is trying some new colours! The old sidebar links, toys and other things are safely tucked away in a backup file, I can re-add them later. All this green is simpler, but I'm not used to it yet. Don't be surprised if I end up trying a lot of different looks here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any opinions or suggestions from my readers are welcome!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11920391-6910067368844923941?l=knittingthrough.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/feeds/6910067368844923941/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11920391&amp;postID=6910067368844923941' title='1 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/6910067368844923941'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/6910067368844923941'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/2009/05/template-testing-testing.html' title='Template: Testing, testing'/><author><name>knit_tgz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04110553863107273416</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920391.post-9001974643008177534</id><published>2009-05-07T00:03:00.003Z</published><updated>2009-05-07T00:16:59.296Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='No crafting yet'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Vida real/Real life'/><title type='text'>Calor / Too hot</title><content type='html'>Ficou demasiado calor de repente (hoje quando saí para almoçar estavam 30ºC), e dou por mim a ver sucessivamente o site da meteorologia, na esperança de ver números mais na casa dos 20 e poucos graus que mentalmente espero no princípio de Maio (senão, terei de esperar temperaturas na casa dos 40ºC no Verão, o que eu detesto). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por este andar nunca mais retomo os meus trabalhos começados, quase todos demasiado quentes para sequer os tirar das caixas. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;It's just too hot for May, these last few days (today at lunch it was around 30 degrees Celsius).

FIRST NAME? Will not tell :P (some of my readers already know it, though!) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? Not really, though my mother knew someone at work with the same name when she was single, and at the time she though she would like to give that name to a future daughter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. WHEN DID YOU LAST CRY? I don't remember. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? Yes. It's not perfect, but I find it nice and balanced.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCHMEAT? Presunto (well-cured and not too salty) or paio do lombo :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU? Yes, I would. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. DO YOU HAVE A JOURNAL? This blog. I tried writing a diary in my early teens, but I didn't like it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS? Yes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP? Only if my life or the life of a loved one depended on it. Otherwise: NO.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL? I don't know. There are several kinds of cereal that I like (the most important detail is that they're neither fried nor salty). My favourite breakfast is probably milk with some coffee and toast, but I get bored and change breakfast a lot. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11. DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF? Sometimes yes, sometimes no.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12. DO YOU THINK YOU ARE STRONG? Physically? No. Psychologically: reasonably strong. Not hero-strong, but strong. And somewhat resilient, I've been told.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM FLAVOR? Not sure. I really like food, so I usually have a lot of favourites :) I like sour-fruit flavours (lemon, raspberry), liquor flavours (raisins and rum, whisky), caramel, nuts, mint and chocolate... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;14. SHOE SIZE? European 36 or 37 or 38, depends on the shoe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;15. RED OR PINK? Both. As long as it's not primary red or simple "Barbie" pink, which I do not like. I like complex pinks, either warmer or dustier or reddish or mauve-ish. And almost all reds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;16. WHAT IS THE LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOURSELF? Sometimes I think too much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;17. WHO DO YOU MISS THE MOST? Living: my friend C. who was my closest friend during adolescence, and the only friend I keep from that time. We rarely see each other now, but we keep in touch through email and messaging. Dead: my grandparents, though I did not really meet them (the last one died when I was around 18 months old). It is possible to miss someone you did not know. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;18. DO YOU WANT EVERYONE TO SEND THIS BACK TO YOU? If you want to (I suppose all internet did this meme already except me :) ), post a link in the comments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;19. WHAT COLOR PANTS, SHIRT AND SHOES ARE YOU WEARING? Light brown casual pants, salmon print t-shirt, brown shoes, brown cardigan (it's warm, but at night the temperature still cools down a bit).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20. LAST THING YOU ATE? Dessert :) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;21. WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW? An &lt;a href="http://www.wnyc.org/shows/radiolab/"&gt;interesting podcast&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;22. IF YOU WERE A CRAYON, WHAT COLOR WOULD YOU BE? Dark red.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;23. FAVORITE SMELL? Several. See my old Secret-Pal questionnaires.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;24. WHO WAS THE LAST PERSON YOU TALKED TO ON THE PHONE? Either my brother or my mother.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;25. THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE YOU ARE ATTRACTED TO? It's different each time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;26. DO YOU LIKE THE PERSON YOU STOLE THIS FROM? Yes, Cara is nice :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;27. FAVORITE DRINK? Water, or unsweetened lemonade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;28. FAVORITE SPORT? I don't do sports (shame on me!). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;29. EYE COLOR? Brown&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;30. HAT SIZE? I don't know. When I buy a hairband, sometimes they're too small. They're never too large, so I suppose medium-large?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;31. DO YOU WEAR CONTACTS? Yes, since I was 14. I sometimes wear glasses to rest my eyes a bit, but as I am a bit photosensitive I use sunglasses a lot, and it's easier to wear contacts + sunglasses. Besides, contacts give me better peripheral vision.  I am nearsighted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;32. FAVORITE FOOD? I love good food. I do not have a favourite food.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;33. SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS? Not necessarily happy endings, but I simply do not go to horror/scary movies. I can handle dark movies (except if I'm going through a bad phase, then I avoid them), even very heavy scripts, even depressive scripts, but I prefer not to see very graphic violence. If a movie I see has occasional graphic scenes, I cover my eyes or do not look at the screen until the scene is over. I have been known to watch full 5 minutes of a film covering everything except the subtitles. I suppose I prefer happier endings or bittersweet endings, maybe not fairytale endings though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;35. SUMMER OR WINTER? Winter. Or a cool summer ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;36. HUGS OR KISSES? Both, but only with close friends or close family. I'm not a very touchy-feely person, though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;37. FAVORITE DESSERT? Don't know. I love fruit (raw or cooked), I love yoghurt, I love sweet desserts (but not too sweet). Maybe cottage cheese with raspberry jam or with honey and walnuts. I love cheese.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;38. WHO IS MOST LIKELY TO RESPOND? Probably nobody.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;39. LEAST LIKELY TO RESPOND? See 38. (reminds me of the Index entry on a book: "Recursion (&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;see&lt;/span&gt; Recursion)" ).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;40. WHAT BOOKS ARE YOU READING? ::shamefully:: I have 5 or 6 books in the process of being read...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;41. WHAT'S ON YOUR MOUSE PAD? A gel pad to support my wrist. It has no special picture, it's just one colour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;42. WHAT DID YOU WATCH LAST NIGHT ON TV? The news. I do not watch much TV, nowadays. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;43. FAVORITE SOUNDS? Human voice, when serene. It's beautiful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;44. ROLLING STONES OR BEATLES? Can I choose Queen?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;45. THE FURTHEST YOU'VE BEEN FROM HOME? Not very far. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;46. WHAT'S YOUR SPECIAL TALENT? Asking questions, finding exceptions to answers, asking more questions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;47. WHERE WERE YOU BORN? Porto, Portugal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;48. WHO SENT THIS TO YOU? See beginning of post.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11920391-2221380857202845990?l=knittingthrough.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/feeds/2221380857202845990/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11920391&amp;postID=2221380857202845990' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/2221380857202845990'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/2221380857202845990'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/2009/05/meme-2006.html' title='Meme (2006)'/><author><name>knit_tgz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04110553863107273416</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920391.post-3470631422645298081</id><published>2009-04-25T16:53:00.002Z</published><updated>2009-04-25T17:02:38.925Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Linhas/Stash'/><title type='text'>PDI: extra comments</title><content type='html'>O que tenho a acrescentar ao tema em 2009/&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;What I wish to add about it now&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Já tinha feito este teste em miúda (com 12 anos), na escola, em Têxteis, mas lembrava-me mal dos resultados.

Ardeu como lã (ardeu com chama pequena e com cheiro intenso e característico a cabelo queimado, apagou-se pouco depois de retirar a chama, e o resíduo queimado eram bolinhas leves pretas que se esmigalhavam entre os dedos sem dificuldade deixando uma cinza preta que, novamente, cheirava a cabelo queimado). Não tem o toque típico da lã, mas arde textualmente como lã. Vou usá-la no Lizard Ridge. Quanto à outra (a bouclé azul), ainda não decidi se a quero guardar para fazer uma estola para mim ou para a minha mãe, ou se quero usá-la aqui. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Também pedi opiniões no fórum acima referido, e antes que se percam vou copiar os excertos mais interessantes para aqui (infelizmente estou com pouco tempo, não vou traduzir para português). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;" Have you tried breaking it?&lt;br /&gt;Wool normally, (not always,) breaks easier than acrylic, and it leaves fluffy ends.&lt;br /&gt;When you did the burn test, did you try it over the flame then take the flame away.&lt;br /&gt;Wool does not normally hold a flame so as soon as you remove it, the fire goes out.&lt;br /&gt;It does not melt in the same way that acrylic does either.&lt;br /&gt;If it is a blend of cotton and wool, it may have different burning properties.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can you just knit a sample and wash it to see how it behaves.&lt;br /&gt;If it washes well, you will not have to worry about what it is made up of."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sobre o burn test, dois avisos: 1) obviamente, cuidado com o lume, dado que algumas fibras ardem depressa e com grande chama (não a lã, mas sim as fibras vegetais e sobretudo algumas artificiais). 2) Cuidado ao tentarem esmigalhar os resíduos queimados: os de fibras naturais arrefecem depressa, mas o resíduo queimado de acrílico permanece quente durante algum tempo depois de apagado (fiz duas pequenas queimaduras à conta disso...)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11920391-116361936257025191?l=knittingthrough.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/feeds/116361936257025191/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11920391&amp;postID=116361936257025191' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/116361936257025191'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/116361936257025191'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/2008/11/pdi-pyromaniac-detective-investigator.html' title='PDI: Pyromaniac Detective Investigator'/><author><name>knit_tgz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04110553863107273416</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920391.post-9168485741195127999</id><published>2009-04-19T00:53:00.001Z</published><updated>2009-04-19T00:57:20.565Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hei-de fazer/Queued for the future'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Obras no blogue/Blog changes'/><title type='text'>Etiquetado/Tagged</title><content type='html'>Acabei de pôr &lt;i&gt;tags&lt;/i&gt; no blogue. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Próximo passo: publicar os inúmeros &lt;i&gt;posts&lt;/i&gt; antigos que estão em rascunho.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I finished tagging all posts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next: publishing all the old drafts...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11920391-9168485741195127999?l=knittingthrough.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/feeds/9168485741195127999/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11920391&amp;postID=9168485741195127999' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/9168485741195127999'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/9168485741195127999'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/2009/04/etiquetadotagged.html' title='Etiquetado/Tagged'/><author><name>knit_tgz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04110553863107273416</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920391.post-1623147277291311407</id><published>2009-04-07T18:44:00.001Z</published><updated>2009-04-08T00:49:16.764Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Está aí alguém?/Anybody there?'/><title type='text'>Olá?

Rapidamente e sem fotos, depois hei-de actualizar com mais informação e fotos: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Acabei (finalmente) as Jaywalkers. Em agulha 2mm, claro que nunca mais acabava. Ficaram um pouco apertadas, e com pouca elasticidade. Ou seja, consigo calçá-las, mas causam desconforto. Veremos o que decido. Será que alguém na minha família próxima tem os pés mais pequenos que eu?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Comecei o primeiro par de meias do SKP2008. Estou a usar a linha em tons pastel.

Como se vê aqui, tenho linhas que dão para 12 ou 13 pares de meias: &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/03/opal-petticoat-seide.html"&gt;um em riscas pastel com seda&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/03/stahl-socka-mexiko-disco-color.html"&gt;um em riscas escuras com brilhos&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/03/regia-canadian-fashion-colors.html"&gt;dois de riscas sobre os tons de Outono&lt;/a&gt; e &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/03/regia-canadian-classic-colors.html"&gt;um de riscas entre o azul e o verde seco&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/03/opal-sockengarn-rodeo-cotton.html"&gt;um de algodão com riscas cinza e bege&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2005/09/lane-cervinia-speziale-per-calzetteria.html"&gt;dois mesclados em tons de Outono&lt;/a&gt; (fora as Jaywalkers azuis que nunca mais acabo!), &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/05/fortissima-socka-colori.html"&gt;um mesclado sobre o vermelho&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2007/01/handpainted-sock-yarn.html"&gt; um de linha pintada à mão rosa e azul escura&lt;/a&gt; e &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/03/regia-color-6ply.html"&gt;dois mais grossos com riscas verdes ou avermelhadas&lt;/a&gt;. O pior é que são todas mescladas ou de riscas: se decidirem usar modelos muito trabalhados se calhar não se vai ver nada... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nesta competição (&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.ravelry.com/groups/sock-knitters-pentathlon"&gt;Ravelry&lt;/a&gt; e &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/skp2008/"&gt;Yahoo Groups&lt;/a&gt;), tenho 2 meses para fazer cada par de meias. Haverá prémios para as pessoas mais rápidas. Do que conheço de mim, não vou ser das mais rápidas, mas mesmo assim acho que vale a pena, a ver se ganho à-vontade e fico com algum par de meias feitas à mão para mim (sim que as outras acabei por dá-las à minha mãe!).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Acho que também vou precisar de mais DPNs...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;When I was at the University, I knew a student who practised pentathlon. I have never been very athletic, but now that the dissertation is almost finished, I decided to enter a sock knitting competition! I have enough stash to knit 12 to 13 pairs of socks: &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/03/opal-petticoat-seide.html"&gt;a pastel-striped pair with silk&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/03/stahl-socka-mexiko-disco-color.html"&gt;ua dark-striped one with shimmer&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/03/regia-canadian-fashion-colors.html"&gt;two fall-coloured striped ones&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/03/regia-canadian-classic-colors.html"&gt;a striped one in blue and green&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/03/opal-sockengarn-rodeo-cotton.html"&gt;a cottony one in beige and gray stripes&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2005/09/lane-cervinia-speziale-per-calzetteria.html"&gt;two variegated in autumn/fall shades&lt;/a&gt; (and the blue Jaycrawlers in progress!), &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/05/fortissima-socka-colori.html"&gt;a red variegated&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2007/01/handpainted-sock-yarn.html"&gt; one haindpainted in pink and dark blue&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/03/regia-color-6ply.html"&gt;two thicker ones in green and red stripes&lt;/a&gt;. It seems I am deeply lacking solid and semi-solid coloured yarn to show patterns better!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this competition (&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.ravelry.com/groups/sock-knitters-pentathlon"&gt;Ravelry&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/skp2008/"&gt;Yahoo Groups&lt;/a&gt;), I have 2 months to make each pair of socks. The quickest knitters will receive prizes. I am sure I will NOT receive any of the fast-knitters prizes, but I hope I will end up with some handknitted socks for me (I ended up gifting the red finished pair to my mother).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11920391-2303766901522393584?l=knittingthrough.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/feeds/2303766901522393584/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11920391&amp;postID=2303766901522393584' title='1 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/2303766901522393584'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/2303766901522393584'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/2008/02/sock-knitters-pentathlon.html' title='Sock Knitters Pentathlon'/><author><name>knit_tgz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04110553863107273416</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5AYj1l7rYhA/R63pcf4JxjI/AAAAAAAAAHo/upQy7JWgxIs/s72-c/skp2009.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920391.post-5243443969068783249</id><published>2008-01-28T18:26:00.001Z</published><updated>2009-04-18T20:36:02.461Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Vida real/Real life'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Links'/><title type='text'>Tenho de arrumar/Need to tidy up</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;I'm tired, I will not translate all into English.

At the moment, I am just too busy with reviewing the dissertation (It's almost done!) and my new job. Before I forget, I want to thank everyone who commented, and to say I'm sorry to whoever I forgot to answer or email or something. Thanks for your patience. In Portuguese I wrote a bit more, about some links with nice ideas. Even if you don't understand Portuguese, you may click on the links to see some visual candy or inspiration. Thanks, God bless you all in this new year!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ask the readers:&lt;/b&gt; Where can I find simple, easy sewing projects for someone without much patience, without a decent sewing machine (I only have a cheap one that only sews straight, not even zigzag!) but who is getting annoyed that the fabric from clothes too old to give away is going to waste when it could become useful again? Thanks!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;----------&lt;br /&gt;Pois. eu ainda cá ando e não desisti dos blogues. Mas as revisões da tese e o trabalho andam a consumir o meu tempo. Antes que me esqueça, quero agradecer a todos os que comentaram, pedir desculpa a quem me tenha perguntado algo que eu me tenha esquecido de responder, e dizer que espero vir a escrever mais dentro de algum tempo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para já tenho trabalhado numa das mantas (que apesar de não estar pronta, já está sobre a minha cama e dá conforto e cor ao quarto). Depois haverá fotos. Ficam por agora uns links de coisas que me inspiram para o futuro:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Quando tiver mais disponibilidade mental, quero tentar algo que me desafie. Algo como &lt;a href="http://zebraknits.typepad.com/zebraknits_a_knitting_jou/2007/12/post-1.html"&gt;este casaco lindo&lt;/a&gt;!

Here are some links&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/40699529@N00/"&gt;Vintage stripe blanket&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/358848@N21/pool/"&gt;Ripple blanket&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/ripple-along/pool/"&gt;Ripple blanket 2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/purlbeebabette/"&gt;Babette blanket (Interweave crochet spring 2006)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://flickr.com/groups/granny-along/pool/"&gt;Granny-along&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/297872@N24/"&gt;Granny-along 2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/90319938@N00/"&gt;Granny 3&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/crochet_afghans/pool/"&gt;Crochet afghans&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/poppalina/258079938/in/pool-40699529@N00/"&gt;Poppalina blanket&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/lizardridge/"&gt;Lizard Ridge&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/squarealong/pool/"&gt;Square-along&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eliza_jane/465191517/in/pool-90592512@N00/"&gt;Mitered&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/46269682@N00/pool/"&gt;Mason-Dixon pool&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/weavette/pool/"&gt;Weavette&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/colortheorycraft/"&gt;Colour theory craft&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11920391-1530199578859089622?l=knittingthrough.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/feeds/1530199578859089622/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11920391&amp;postID=1530199578859089622' title='6 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/1530199578859089622'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/1530199578859089622'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/2007/04/obsesso-obsession.html' title='Obsessão / Obsession'/><author><name>knit_tgz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04110553863107273416</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920391.post-8501220939560916933</id><published>2007-04-16T19:43:00.001Z</published><updated>2009-04-18T20:41:39.240Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Links'/><title type='text'>Good Yarn Karma</title><content type='html'>Faço aqui publicidade a um site com uma boa ideia: &lt;a href="http://www.goodyarnkarma.blogspot.com/"&gt;Good yarn karma&lt;/a&gt;.

Crochet com fios fininhos de algodão, para fazer toalhas e coisas assim. Crochet em lã, com agulhas grossas, é a primeira vez que faço desde que aprendi, na infância, fazendo duas pegas em lã. E mesmo nessa altura usei agulha 4 mm, é a primeira vez que faço crochet (a manta das riscas pretas misturadas com todas as cores) em agulha de 7 mm. E está-me a dar gozo. É um gozo completamente diferente da malha, até porque posso fazer malha durante horas e horas, ao passo que o crochet ao fim de algum tempo me faz dores nos pulsos. Mas, como sou bem rápida a fazer crochet, até me rende.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I am a crocheter since my childhood. I learned at the same time I learned to knit, but I never stopped crocheting through all these years. Thin cotton crochet, table covers and delicate things like that. Crochet using wool and thick hooks, it's the first time I do that since I learned (I made two woolen potholders, then, using 4 mm hooks). And it's the first time I crochet using 7 mm hooks (the black/ random colours stripy blanket), and I'm loving it. It's a different pleasure than the one I derive from knitting. I can knit hours in a row, while crochet makes my wrists hurt after an hour or so. But as I am a quick crocheter, my crochet, one hour at a time, still goes fast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;A manta está a ficar gira, densa e pesada, o que é bom para uma manta e típico do crochet. Como é uma manta de restos, estou a deixar as pontas por rematar de ambos os lados, fazendo uma espécie de franja (que depois vou cortar de modo a ter um comprimento uniforme), e estou a unir os restinhos de linha com nós, que tenho o cuidado de pôr todos do mesmo lado. A manta é rústica, feita com tudo quanto é linha, não é uma manta feita com todos os cuidados. É um projecto para fazer em frente da TV, sem prestar demasiada atenção. O crochet gasta a linha bem depressa e já estou a ficar sem restos de linhas, e os poucos que restam têm cores demasiado parecidas entre si.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The blanket is starting to look nice, thick and heavy, which is good for a blanket and typical of crochet. As it is a leftover yarns blanket, I am leaving the tails on each side without weaving them in, as a fringe (that in the end I will comb and cut in an uniform length), and I am knotting the different yarn scraps together, and getting the knots all in the same side of the blanket. It's a rustic, leftovers blanket, using whatever yarn leftovers I have, not a carefully made blanket, a project to crochet when watching TV and I want it to be simple and relaxing. Crochet uses up a lot of yarn, and I almost do not have any leftover yarns left, and the few that remain have non-contrasting colours.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Perguntas aos leitores: &lt;/span&gt;1) Estou na dúvida: será que devo passar pela loja de linhas mais próxima e ver se nas linhas em promoção têm alguma das cores de que sinto a falta no saco das linhas em saldo? 2) Esta é a pergunta importante: o que estou a fazer de errado para ter dores nos pulsos quando faço crochet uma hora seguida? Como corrigir?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Ask the readers: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;1) Should I go to the nearest LYS to see if in the sale bag there is any yarn of the colours I miss? 2) The important question: what am I doing wrong to make my wrists hurt after an hour of crocheting? How can I correct it?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11920391-4464657990140496940?l=knittingthrough.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/feeds/4464657990140496940/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11920391&amp;postID=4464657990140496940' title='3 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/4464657990140496940'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/4464657990140496940'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/2007/03/crochet-e-pergunta-aos-leitoresand-ask.html' title='Crochet (e pergunta aos leitores/and ask the readers, again)'/><author><name>knit_tgz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04110553863107273416</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920391.post-4364602965500540585</id><published>2007-03-20T19:23:00.001Z</published><updated>2009-04-18T20:43:42.910Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='presentes / presents'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dar/Give'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='WIPs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mantas/Blankets'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Links'/><title type='text'>Progressos e presentes/Progress and presents</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Edited to add photo of pincushion:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Houve, como já contei, uma fase recentemente em que ganhei concursos e encontrei pessoas generosas a dar linhas e outras coisas de malhas.

Fica a lista dos trabalhos nas agulhas neste momento, e comentários sobre eles:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The fact that I do not have photos of them, or have not written about them, does not mean that I have not started more projects in the last few months. Here's a list of all my projects currently on the needles, and some comments about them:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;1) &lt;a href="http://www.knitty.com/issuefall06/PATTlizardridge.html"&gt;Lizard Ridge&lt;/a&gt;. Com estas linhas: &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/11/fleece-artist-country-wool-hand-dyed.html"&gt;1&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/11/misteriosa-unknown.html"&gt;2&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/11/danette-taylor-llamawool-handpainted.html"&gt;3&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/11/classic-elite-montera.html"&gt;4&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/05/magallanes-araucania-yarns.html"&gt;5&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/05/variegated-cherry-tree-hill.html"&gt;6&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/03/ls-pintadas-mohandpainted-wool-yarns.html"&gt;7&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2005/09/handpaintedyarn-laguna-merin-thinthick.html"&gt;8&lt;/a&gt;. Estou a adorar, mas vai demorar um bocadinho. Sobretudo porque recentemente entrei numa onda de tricotar também para quem precisa, e tenho nas agulhas: / &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.knitty.com/issuefall06/PATTlizardridge.html"&gt;Lizard Ridge&lt;/a&gt;. With these yarns: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/11/fleece-artist-country-wool-hand-dyed.html"&gt;1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/11/misteriosa-unknown.html"&gt;2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/11/danette-taylor-llamawool-handpainted.html"&gt;3&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/11/classic-elite-montera.html"&gt;4&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/05/magallanes-araucania-yarns.html"&gt;5&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/05/variegated-cherry-tree-hill.html"&gt;6&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/03/ls-pintadas-mohandpainted-wool-yarns.html"&gt;7&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2005/09/handpaintedyarn-laguna-merin-thinthick.html"&gt;8&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;. I am loving it, but it will take a while, mostly because I am now in a phase of knitting also for those who need, and I have on the needles: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Um gorro para recém-nascido/prematuro para &lt;a href="http://mamamartinho.wordpress.com/2007/02/22/novo-destino-dos-gorrinhos/"&gt;este projecto&lt;/a&gt; (enxovais para bebés da &lt;a href="http://www.aarn-lisboa.org/"&gt;AARN&lt;/a&gt;). Numa lã branca antiga que tinha algures na &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;stash&lt;/span&gt;. O meu primeiro gorro em cinco agulhas! A princípio não me ajeitava, mas agora já me despacho, e está a ficar giro! A ver se ainda tenho tempo de fazer mais alguma roupinha de bebé a tempo da próxima entrega (antes de 30 de Março)!/ &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;A newborn/preemie hat for &lt;a href="http://mamamartinho.wordpress.com/2007/02/22/novo-destino-dos-gorrinhos/"&gt;this project&lt;/a&gt; (baby clothes and other baby things for &lt;a href="http://www.aarn-lisboa.org/"&gt;AARN&lt;/a&gt;, which helps poor families who recently had a new baby). In a white yarn I had somewhere in my &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;stash&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;. My first hat in DPNs! At first I was clumsy, but now I can knit in a nice speed, and it looks cute! I hope I'll find the time to knit some more clothes for babies in time for the next package (before March 30th)!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) E também para dar, vou fazendo quadrados para &lt;a href="http://warminggrace.blogspot.com/"&gt;este projecto&lt;/a&gt; (vale a pena clicar, as 3 mantas que já completaram são lindas lindas, e vão para miúdos lutadores que merecem um abraço extra). Por enquanto só completei um, &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughreviews.blogspot.com/2005/12/rowan-handknit-cotton.html"&gt;nesta linha&lt;/a&gt;, de que gostei tanto que fiz, com o resto da linha, um pano de rosto macio para mim! As próximas linhas a usar em quadrados, ou nas roupinhas de bebé para a AARN, são &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/05/sugarn-cream-lily.html"&gt;estas&lt;/a&gt;, e depois talvez &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/01/mission-falls-1824-wool.html"&gt;estas&lt;/a&gt; ou &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2005/07/rosrios-4-regata-cromatic-light.html"&gt;estas&lt;/a&gt;. O projecto "Warming Grace" é gerido por &lt;a href="http://twowoodensticks.blogspot.com/"&gt;esta tricotadeira&lt;/a&gt;, que admiro muito (vejam a camisola maravilhosa que ela fez para o marido em Novembro de 2006), e que &lt;a href="http://twowoodensticks.blogspot.com/2007/02/fabulous-february.html"&gt;esteve a dar um monte de linhas recentemente&lt;/a&gt; (eu também &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=378800390&amp;context=set-72157594516295752&amp;amp;size=l"&gt;vou receber&lt;/a&gt;... o correio demora a atravessar o Atlântico, mas ainda bem, que assim posso fazer mais quadrados enquanto espero!) / &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Also for a worthy cause, I am kniting squares for &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://warminggrace.blogspot.com/"&gt;this project&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; (go ahead and click, the 3 blankets already completed are very beautiful, and will warm and hug kids who are in a big fight). I have just completed one, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://knittingthroughreviews.blogspot.com/2005/12/rowan-handknit-cotton.html"&gt;using this yarn&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;, and with the rest of the yarn (which I loved) I knit a soft facecloth for me! The next yarns to be used either in squares or in baby clothes for AARN are &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/05/sugarn-cream-lily.html"&gt;these&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;, and then maybe  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/01/mission-falls-1824-wool.html"&gt;these&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; or &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2005/07/rosrios-4-regata-cromatic-light.html"&gt;these&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;. The "Warming Grace" project is an idea of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://twowoodensticks.blogspot.com/"&gt;this knitter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;, who I admire a lot (see the wonderful sweater she knitted to her husband las November), and who &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://twowoodensticks.blogspot.com/2007/02/fabulous-february.html"&gt;recently gave away a lot of yarn&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; (I will receive &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=378800390&amp;context=set-72157594516295752&amp;amp;size=l"&gt;some&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;... the mail takes a while to cross the Atlantic, which is good, as I can knit more squares qhile I wait!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) Uma manta de crochet com base &lt;a href="http://belladia.typepad.com/bella_dia/2006/11/vintage_vertica.html"&gt;nesta receita&lt;/a&gt;, mas modificada, claro... Estou a fazer uma carreira em meio ponto triplo em lã preta que tinha na stash (&lt;a href="http://knittingthroughreviews.blogspot.com/2006/03/debbie-bliss-merino-chunky.html"&gt;esta&lt;/a&gt;, e sobras &lt;a href="http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/2006/01/fim-de-semana-produtivo-productive.html"&gt;destas perneiras&lt;/a&gt;) ou que &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2007/01/linha-pretablack-yarn.html"&gt;comprei de propósito&lt;/a&gt; (não tenho a certeza dos nomes dos pontos em português...), seguida de seis carreiras em meio ponto duplo (mais alto que ponto baixo, mas mais baixo que ponto duplo) em cores diversas, usando restinhos de linha que sobrarem dos outros projectos, e também as linhas dos &lt;a href="http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/2005/11/amostrinhas-yarn-samples.html"&gt;peixinhos&lt;/a&gt; (desisti da manta dos peixinhos e desfi-los todos. Não tenho paciência para costurar tanta coisa!), e depois volta a ter uma carreira de preto e seis de cores diversas. Está a ficar grossa, pesada e gira. O contraste entre as riscas de preto a intervalos constantes (uma certa estrutura) e as riscas de cores aleatórias de composição diversa (um certo acaso) é engraçado. Projecto agora parado à espera de mais restinhos de linhas (em breve!) / &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;A crochet blanket based in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://belladia.typepad.com/bella_dia/2006/11/vintage_vertica.html"&gt;this pattern&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;, which I tweaked a bit... I crochet one stripe in half triple crochet in black wool that I had in my stash (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://knittingthroughreviews.blogspot.com/2006/03/debbie-bliss-merino-chunky.html"&gt;this one&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;, and leftover yarn from &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/2006/01/fim-de-semana-produtivo-productive.html"&gt;these legwarmers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;) or that &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2007/01/linha-pretablack-yarn.html"&gt;I bought for this end&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; followed by six stripes in half double crochet in random colours, using leftover yarn from other projects, and also the yarn previously used in the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/2005/11/amostrinhas-yarn-samples.html"&gt;fish blanket&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; (I gave up and frogged all the fish. I don't want to sew so many little fishes!), and then again another black stripe and six more in random colours and so on. It's starting to look nice, thick and heavy. The contrast between the black stripes in regular distance (structure) and the random colour stripes (lack of structure) is fun. This project is now stopped waiting for more yarn leftovers (soon!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) Um &lt;a href="http://www.knitlist.com/2003/minishawl.htm"&gt;xaile muito simples mas original&lt;/a&gt; em ponto de liga, usando &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2005/09/handpaintedyarn-merino-bulky-six-ply.html"&gt;esta linha&lt;/a&gt; (a Velvet Grapes, e se precisar no fim acrescento uma barra de rosa). Digo que é original porque não é triangular, é da forma que se vê abaixo (a foto não é do meu, obviamente está bem mais atrasado), que me parece bem mais prática e me agrada mais. Dá imenso gozo a tricotar, mas infelizmente está parado porque o comecei em agulhas rectas de 6 cm e os pontos já quase não cabem nelas, preciso de comprar uma circular de 6 cm para continuar. Gosto muito da linha (uma das minhas preferidas!) e do modelo, que pode ser usado assim simples ou ser facilmente adaptado para ter uma barra bordada ou mesmo bordados no xaile todo! /&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; A &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.knitlist.com/2003/minishawl.htm"&gt;very simple but original shawl&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; in garter stitch, using &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2005/09/handpaintedyarn-merino-bulky-six-ply.html"&gt;this yarn&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; (Velvet Grapes, and if it's not enough in the end I'll add a stripe of pink). I find it unusual because it is not triangular, it has the shape you can see below (the photo is not mine, mine is far from finished and has a different colour), that I think is more practical and I prefer. I love knitting it, but unfortunately had to stop because I started it in straight 6 mm needles and now the stiches are so many that I really need to switch to a 6mm circular, but I have not bought it yet. I love this yarn (it is one of my favourite yarns!) and also the pattern, that can be used simple like this or be easily adapted to include a lacy edging or some lace in the main shawl! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5AYj1l7rYhA/Rec_QoBrTII/AAAAAAAAAE8/t1_Lx3mEmZY/s1600-h/_post_Weaver%27s+Wool+Mini+Shawl.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5AYj1l7rYhA/Rec_QoBrTII/AAAAAAAAAE8/t1_Lx3mEmZY/s320/_post_Weaver%27s+Wool+Mini+Shawl.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5037064263092096130" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Há ainda estes, que estão parados há pelo menos uns meses: / &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I must not forget these ones, which I have not touched in at least a few months:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;6) As &lt;a href="http://magknits.com/Sept05/patterns/jaywalker.htm"&gt;Jaywalkers&lt;/a&gt;. Fazem-me dores nos pulsos, e não ando com paciência para meias. / &lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://magknits.com/Sept05/patterns/jaywalker.htm"&gt;Jaywalkers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;. They make my wrists hurt, and I'm not in a mood for socks now.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7) Umas meias simples usando &lt;a href="http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/2006/07/notcias-news.html"&gt;restinhos de linhas&lt;/a&gt; em agulha 3 mm. Bem mais fáceis e rápidas, mas, como disse, não ando com paciência para meias. /&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; A pair of simple socks using &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/2006/07/notcias-news.html"&gt;leftover yarns&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; in 3 mm DPNs. Much easier and quicker, but I'm really &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;not in a mood for socks now.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8) O &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2003/06/rosrios-4-trapilho-estampado.html"&gt;infame casaco em trapilho&lt;/a&gt;, que cada vez mais me convenço que hei-de desfazer para fazer outra coisa... Eu até gosto da linha! Mas não será já, porque há outras linhas que quero tricotar primeiro... / &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2003/06/rosrios-4-trapilho-estampado.html"&gt;infamous UFO cardigan&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;, that some day I will frog to knit something else... I like the yarn, not the cardigan! But not yet, there are other yarns I want to knit first...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11920391-6320955433539054728?l=knittingthrough.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/feeds/6320955433539054728/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11920391&amp;postID=6320955433539054728' title='2 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/6320955433539054728'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/6320955433539054728'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/2007/03/comecite-outra-vez-startitis-again.html' title='Comecite outra vez / Startitis again'/><author><name>knit_tgz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04110553863107273416</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5AYj1l7rYhA/Rec_QoBrTII/AAAAAAAAAE8/t1_Lx3mEmZY/s72-c/_post_Weaver%27s+Wool+Mini+Shawl.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920391.post-6978854374978590383</id><published>2007-03-01T15:25:00.002Z</published><updated>2009-05-15T00:02:07.995Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Eu/Me'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Memes Quizzes etc.'/><title type='text'>Meme das 7 perguntas</title><content type='html'>&lt;em class="info"&gt;A &lt;a href="http://mamamartinho.wordpress.com/2007/02/19/brincadeira-das-7-perguntas/"&gt;Mamã Martinho&lt;/a&gt; convidou-me a fazê-lo, e cá vou eu! / &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em class="info"&gt;&lt;a href="http://mamamartinho.wordpress.com/2007/02/19/brincadeira-das-7-perguntas/"&gt;Mamã Martinho&lt;/a&gt; invited me to do this meme, here I go!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;em class="info"&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="snap_preview"&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;" &gt;&lt;em&gt;7 coisas que faço bem / 7 things I do well:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;" &gt;1- Falar em público. / Speak in public.&lt;br /&gt;2- &lt;/span&gt;Vários trabalhos manuais: malha, crochet, ponto de cruz e meio ponto e Arraiolos. / Several crafts: knitting, crochet, cross stitch, half cross stitch/Gobelin and Arraiolos rug stitch.&lt;br /&gt;3- Fazer várias coisas ao mesmo tempo. / Multitasking.&lt;br /&gt;4- Ler depressa. / Read fast.&lt;br /&gt;5- Cozinhar. / Cook.&lt;br /&gt;6- Fazer perguntas e descobrir excepções. / Ask questions and find exceptions.&lt;br /&gt;7- Ouvir. /Listen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;" &gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;7 coisas que não posso/não sei fazer / 7 things I cannot do or don't know how to do:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;1- Costurar como deve ser.

Valentim (chuif... chuif... ;-) ), mas não importa porque tive um monte de comentários da &lt;a href="http://www2.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=11920391&amp;postID=4380277760914994002"&gt;&lt;a href="http://mamamartinho.wordpress.com/"&gt;Mamã Martinho&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/a&gt; no meu outro blogue. Especialmente para ti, aqui ficam comentários aos teus comentários:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Ainda não fiz o &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2005/06/linha-laranja-orange-yarn.html"&gt;top laranja&lt;/a&gt;. Ando numa de mantas, agora, e na verdade não tenho assim tanto tempo para tricotar quanto isso. Se calhar quando mexer nessa linha mudo de ideias quanto ao projecto, logo se vê...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) A &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2007/01/linha-castanha-brown-yarn.html"&gt;linha castanha&lt;/a&gt; veio inesperadamente, porque eu precisava da &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2007/01/linha-pretablack-yarn.html"&gt;linha preta&lt;/a&gt; para a manta de crochet e a &lt;a href="http://eknittycorner.blogspot.com/2007/01/offering-some-yarn.html"&gt;Emily estava a dá-la&lt;/a&gt; apenas pelo preço do envio. Ora como o envio é por patamares de peso, ela perguntou-me generosamente se não queria que ela acrescentasse mais alguma linha, que ficava pelo mesmo preço, e eu aceitei a oferta. (&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Acrescento: &lt;/span&gt;Para espanto meu, ao abrir finalmente a encomenda descobri que ela ainda juntou mais duas meadinhas de linha para meias pintada por ela, que ainda não acrescentei no outro blogue!). A tua sugestão é boa, se eu tiver coragem de tentar a feltragem, mas ainda não sei. Para já fica assim, até porque posso sempre precisar de fazer um cachecol masculino para oferecer e fica reservada...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2003/06/rosrios-4-trapilho-estampado.html"&gt;O trapilho e respectivo casaco&lt;/a&gt;... Ainda não sei que lhe faça. Olho para a linha e gosto dela, mas desapaixonei-me do casaco em andamento e nunca mais me convenço a recomeçar. Está guardado à espera que volte a apaixonar-me... Ou que tenha outra ideia para ele. Logo se vê.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) As &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/06/roving-romney-x-texel-firefly-farm.html"&gt;fibras&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/07/fuschia-fantasy-hand-dyed-wool-fleece.html"&gt;para&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/07/hand-dyed-kid-mohair-curls.html"&gt;fiar&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/07/summer-storm-hand-dyed-wool-fleece.html"&gt;em&lt;/a&gt; geral: Não ando numa onda de fiar, de maneira que as embrulhei muito bem apertadinhas para ocuparem menos espaço e guardei-as todas. Quando as tiver fiado logo penso no que hei-de fazer com elas... Não preciso de usar cada uma em separado, pode ser que faça projectos combinando várias, não sei. A única que sei como quero usar é &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/02/corriedale-2-ply-handspun.html"&gt;esta&lt;/a&gt; mas não tenho agulha do tamanho necessário (uma circular de tamanho 7 ou 8 mm) e é por isso que ainda não fiz o gorro. Quanto à &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/07/black-alpaca-roving.html"&gt;alpaca preta&lt;/a&gt;: não, não tenho de fiar o camelo :-), mas sim a fibra penteada e macia, que, como é preta, não se consegue fotografar como deve ser. Mas a alpaca é muito quente, bem mais quente que a própria lã... Acho que quando a fiar decido o que faço, mas não é para já...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/06/rosrios-4-new-export.html"&gt;Esta viscose&lt;/a&gt; é para camisolas frescas ou casacos para noites de Verão. Saias de malha acho que não tenho coragem de tentar... Acho que comprei muita linha desta, mas como estava muito muito barata...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6) As duas &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2007/01/rowanspun-dk.html"&gt;linhas&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/11/fleece-artist-country-wool-hand-dyed.html"&gt;verdes&lt;/a&gt; novas: apesar de não terem bem a mesma tensão, uma hipótese é combiná-las de alguma forma numa só peça, mas ainda não tenho nenhuma ideia...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7) &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/08/le-mohair-des-fermes-de-france.html"&gt;Esta mohair&lt;/a&gt;, até tenho umas ideias giras, mas não quero mexer nela antes de ganhar um pouco mais de experiência...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8) A &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/07/burgundy-silk.html"&gt;seda&lt;/a&gt;: um top, claro.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9) A &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/11/100-cashmere-yarn-on-cone-dk-wt.html"&gt;caxemira&lt;/a&gt; está também à espera de eu ganhar um pouco mais de experiência. Mas como me enviaram dois novelinhos pequenos de amostra para eu ver como a linha fica macia depois de lavada (não tenho foto), talvez experimente uma coisa pequena antes, só para ter um pequeno luxo para mim...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10) A &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/06/noro-silk-garden.html"&gt;Noro Silk Garden&lt;/a&gt;, tenho-a pensada para fazer uma &lt;a href="http://sknitty.typepad.com/photos/lady_eleanor_gallery/dscn4541.html"&gt;echarpe&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.figandplum.com/archives/000623.html"&gt;como&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://doggedknits.com/?cat=10"&gt;estas&lt;/a&gt;, mas mais pequena, que não tenho novelos para uma tão grande!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11) &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/11/danette-taylor-loopy-silkmohair.html"&gt;Esta&lt;/a&gt; é para um cachecol, quase de certeza, ou um daqueles género laço, ou então um rendado e fininho. Ainda não sei.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12) &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/11/misteriosa-unknown.html"&gt;Esta&lt;/a&gt; já está a uso no Lizard Ridge (um novelo já está gasto, aliás), ainda bem que me lembras que tenho de acrescentar a informação lá...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13) Ainda não sei, quanto a &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/06/rosrios-4-algodo-fashion-discontinued.html"&gt;esta&lt;/a&gt;... Fica à espera e não me incomoda...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;14) Quanto à pergunta que fizeste, se ainda tenho estas linhas todas: tenho 27 meadas ou novelos em projectos. Em particular a Lizard Ridge usará uns 15 novelos, e tenho um xaile simples começado que tive de parar por falta de agulhas circulares do tamanho certo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A verdade é que não tenho pouca linha, mas, felizmente, não me saiu assim tão caro o aumento de &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;stash &lt;/span&gt;(felizmente, porque estou curta de finanças), porque andei à procura de promoções e tricotadeiras com linhas para trocar. Para já, convém-me tricotar em trabalhos com linhas grossas, porque tenho vontade e porque me libertam espaço nas caixas de linhas! O tempo é que não chega para tudo... Chegando o calor, logo pegarei em linhas mais finas...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Acrescento: &lt;/span&gt;Pois é, mais umas linhas novas (ver &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/"&gt;blogue da minha &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;stash&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)... É que, por um lado, tenho tido imensa sorte em concursos (de linhas, que no Euromilhões nunca ganho nada...), e por outro calhei de encontrar duas tricotadeiras a &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;darem&lt;/span&gt; linhas fantásticas (estas que acrescentei hoje (dia 20), e mais outras que ainda devem demorar um bocadinho a chegar cá)! Depois desta sorte toda, acho que devo ficar uns tempos sem participar em concursos (para dar hipótese aos outros ;-) ) e que devo "dar de volta" alguma coisa a quem precisa: ando à procura de projectos de caridade que precisem de quadrados para mantas ou outras coisas simples (que eu ando com vontade de tricotar coisas que não exijam muito esforço mental... lá virá o tempo das coisas mais complicadas!).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So nobody sent me a Valentine (snif... snif... ;-) ), but it's OK because &lt;a href="http://www2.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=11920391&amp;postID=4380277760914994002"&gt;&lt;a href="http://mamamartinho.wordpress.com/"&gt;Mamã Martinho&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/a&gt; wrote a lot of comments in my other blog. So, dedicated to her, I comment on her comments:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) I have not knit the &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2005/06/linha-laranja-orange-yarn.html"&gt;orange top&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; yet (she had asked me if I did). I am on a blanket kick, now, and the time to knit is not that much, really. Maybe when I get to knit with that yarn I will change my mind about the project, we will see then...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) The &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2007/01/linha-castanha-brown-yarn.html"&gt;brown yarn&lt;/a&gt; came unexpectedly, because I needed the &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2007/01/linha-pretablack-yarn.html"&gt;black yarn&lt;/a&gt; for my crochet blanket (yes, I am crochetting a stripy blanket: I will post about it some day), and &lt;a href="http://eknittycorner.blogspot.com/2007/01/offering-some-yarn.html"&gt;Emily was giving it away&lt;/a&gt; just for shipping price. As the shipping goes by steps, she generouly asked me if I would like her to add some more yarn, that I would receive for the same price, and I accepted. (In fact, she ended up adding two skeins of sock yarn handpainted by her, which were a wonderful surprise, but I did not add them yet). Your suggestion is good (Mamã Martinho had suggested in the comments that I knitted a felted tote or bag with this yarn), if I ever get the guts to try felting, but I'm not sure yet. I will keep this yarn aside for a while, as I might need to knit a gift for a male friend and this yarn looks perfect for a masculine scarf...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2003/06/rosrios-4-trapilho-estampado.html"&gt;Trapilho and the UFO cardigan&lt;/a&gt;... I don't know what to do with it. I look at the yarn and like it, but I fell out of love of the cardigan in progress and I cannot get myself to restart it. It's waiting that I fall in love with it again, or that I have another idea for the yarn. We'll see.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/06/roving-romney-x-texel-firefly-farm.html"&gt;Spinning&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/07/fuschia-fantasy-hand-dyed-wool-fleece.html"&gt;fiber&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/07/hand-dyed-kid-mohair-curls.html"&gt;in&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/07/summer-storm-hand-dyed-wool-fleece.html"&gt;general&lt;/a&gt;: I am not in a spinning kick, so I wrapped them all very tightly (don't worry, I can always fluff them later!) to save space and put them all inside a transparent box (they say sunlight chases m*o*t*h*s away). When I get to spin them I'll think what to knit with them... I don't need to use each yarn separately, I may knit projects that combine several yarns, but I don't need to know yet. I only know how I wish to use &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/02/corriedale-2-ply-handspun.html"&gt;this one&lt;/a&gt;, but I do not have circular needles of the size I need (7 or 8 mm) so I have not knitted the hat yet. About the &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/07/black-alpaca-roving.html"&gt;black alpaca&lt;/a&gt;: no, I do not have to spin the camel (alpaca is a camelid :-) ), but the soft, lovely fiber, which cannot be decently photographed, as it is black. Alpaca is very warm, warmer than wool... I will decide what to do with it when I get to spin it, but I'm not in a hurry...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/06/rosrios-4-new-export.html"&gt;This viscose&lt;/a&gt; is planned for light summer sweaters or cardigans. I don't think I will try a knitted skirt (Mamã Martinho suggested a skirt, but she is bolder than me!)... I guess I bought too much of this yarn, but it was really cheap...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6) The two new &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2007/01/rowanspun-dk.html"&gt;green&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/11/fleece-artist-country-wool-hand-dyed.html"&gt;yarns&lt;/a&gt;: their gauges are not exactly the same, but maybe I can combine them in something, I don't know yet...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7) &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/08/le-mohair-des-fermes-de-france.html"&gt;This mohair&lt;/a&gt;: I have some nice ideas to use it, but do not wish to try until I get a bit more experience...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8) The &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/07/burgundy-silk.html"&gt;silk&lt;/a&gt;: a top, of course.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9) The &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/11/100-cashmere-yarn-on-cone-dk-wt.html"&gt;cashmere&lt;/a&gt; yarn is also waiting that I will get more experience. But as they sent me two mini-skeins so that I could see how soft the yarn is after being washed (no picture), maybe I'll try something small sooner, to give myself a little luxury...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10) &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/06/noro-silk-garden.html"&gt;Noro Silk Garden&lt;/a&gt; is set aside for a &lt;a href="http://sknitty.typepad.com/photos/lady_eleanor_gallery/dscn4541.html"&gt;stole&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.figandplum.com/archives/000623.html"&gt;like&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://doggedknits.com/?cat=10"&gt;these&lt;/a&gt;, but smaller, I do not have enough yarn for a big one!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11) &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/11/danette-taylor-loopy-silkmohair.html"&gt;This one&lt;/a&gt; is for a scarf, maybe one of those small neck "bows", or a lacy, thin scarf.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12) &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/11/misteriosa-unknown.html"&gt;These ones&lt;/a&gt; are being used in Lizard Ridge (one of the balls is already knitted, yay!).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13) &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/06/rosrios-4-algodo-fashion-discontinued.html"&gt;This one&lt;/a&gt;, I have no idea yet, and it does not disturb me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have quite a bit of yarn, but fortunately it wasn't that expensive to enrich my stash (fortunately, because I am quite broke), because I searched for sales, discounts, and stash swaps. Now I need to knit with thicker yarns to free some space on my yarn boxes! Time is never enough... Coming summer, I'll knit with thinner yarns...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Added: &lt;/span&gt;So I've got more new yarns (see &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;my stash blog&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)... On one hand, lately I have been really lucky in contests (yarn contests, I never get to win anything in Euromillions...), and on the other hand I found two knitters &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;giving away&lt;/span&gt; wonderful yarns (the ones I added today (the 20th), and some more that should take some more time to arrive here)! After being so lucky, I guess I should spend some time without participating in yarn contests (so that others can win too ;-) ) and I must "give back" something to the ones who need most: I am now looking for charity projects that need knitted squares for blankets or other simple knitted things (simple, because now I just want to knit relaxing, simple, things... some day I'll knit complex things, just not now!).&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11920391-4380277760914994002?l=knittingthrough.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/feeds/4380277760914994002/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11920391&amp;postID=4380277760914994002' title='7 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/4380277760914994002'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/4380277760914994002'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/2007/02/varia.html' title='Varia 2'/><author><name>knit_tgz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04110553863107273416</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920391.post-6066034945759210551</id><published>2007-02-14T00:00:00.001Z</published><updated>2009-04-18T20:47:12.512Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Memes Quizzes etc.'/><title type='text'>Brincadeirinhas / Playthings</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;(Este fica em cima até ao dia de S.

É interactivo, podem brincar com ele. Estou habituada a viver em companhia de felinos e fazem-me falta. Como se diz em inglês, sou uma &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;cat person&lt;/span&gt;, embora goste de cães e mesmo de hamsters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;As you can see, I added a little cat to the sidebar, while I cannot have one at home. It's an interactive virtual cat, you can play with it. I am used to live with feline company and I miss them. As they say in English, I am a cat person, though I like dogs and even hamsters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Por outro lado, para o dia de S. Valentim (que, em boa verdade, nunca fez muito o meu género: só uma vez dei um postal a um namoradinho, em tempos da escola, há uns 14 ou 15 anos), fica aqui uma brincadeirinha virtual. Postais de namorados não haverá, mas pode haver de amigo(a)s :-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;About St. Valentine's day (which, to tell the truth, I never really cared about: in my life I have written one Valentine's postcard to my then-boyfriend, which attended the same school I did, 14 or 15 years ago), here's a little virtual plaything. Maybe some friend will send me a Valentine card!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://wishroll.com/valentinr/knit_tgz" title="My valentinr - knit_tgz"&gt;&lt;img src="http://wishroll.com/widget/valentinr/crumb/knit_tgz.gif" alt="My Valentinr - knit_tgz" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://wishroll.com/valentinr"&gt;Get your own valentinr&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11920391-6066034945759210551?l=knittingthrough.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/feeds/6066034945759210551/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11920391&amp;postID=6066034945759210551' title='2 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/6066034945759210551'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/6066034945759210551'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/2007/02/brincadeirinhas-playthings.html' title='Brincadeirinhas / Playthings'/><author><name>knit_tgz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04110553863107273416</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920391.post-3858285492638866287</id><published>2007-02-12T18:15:00.001Z</published><updated>2009-04-18T20:47:23.488Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='WIPs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mantas/Blankets'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Malha/Knitting'/><title type='text'>Lizard Ridge in progress</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5AYj1l7rYhA/RdCxASSJzXI/AAAAAAAAACI/oiIDDxMMk5I/s1600-h/Lizard_grid_ab.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5AYj1l7rYhA/RdCxASSJzXI/AAAAAAAAACI/oiIDDxMMk5I/s320/Lizard_grid_ab.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5030715402238938482" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;À falta de fotos, isto pode dar uma ideia.

A não ser quando eu encontro alguma foto online para pôr, mas não é o mesmo. Por isso, por agora tem de ficar assim. Talvez no futuro eu arranje um "paitrocínio" para me re-equipar...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;My digital camera finally gave up working, so now all my posts will be ugly and pictureless. Unless when I find a picture online, but it's not the same. Maybe in the future one of my parents (or both) will sponsor new equipment...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por ocasião do meu aniversário em Dezembro, a &lt;a href="http://porta1600.planetaclix.pt/tricotetal/"&gt;Filomena&lt;/a&gt; enviou-me um delicioso conjunto de presentes relacionados com a malha: dois novelos de Cervinia Calzetteria na cor 902 e mais dois novelos de Cervinia Calzetteria na cor 903 (ou seja, futuros dois pares de meias lindos para quando me acabar a preguiça de tricotar com agulhas mais finas...), mais um par de agulhas 6 mm em madeira feitas por ela (deliciosamente acetinadas e macias, mas sem barbela, quando tiver coragem experimento!) e um mini-postalzinho muito simpático.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;In December, around my birthday, &lt;a href="http://porta1600.planetaclix.pt/tricotetal/"&gt;Filomena&lt;/a&gt; sent me a wonderful set of knitting-related presents: two balls of Cervinia Calzetteria in colour 902 plus two balls of Cervinia Calzetteria in colour 903 (which means two beautiful future pairs of socks when my lazyness finally ends and I restart knitting at finer gauges...), a pair of handmade (by her!) wooden needles (deliciously satined and soft and without hook, so I need to gather up courage to try them!) and a nice mini-postcard.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Das agulhas não tenho foto, mas das linhas procurei online e sempre encontrei alguma coisa: são as cores 902 e 903 abaixo, cores quentes, complexas, de Outono, que muito aprecio!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I cannot post a picture of the needles, but I searched online the yarns and found this picture: colours 902 and 903 below, warm, complex, fall colours, which I love!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5AYj1l7rYhA/RcD5gYrOqVI/AAAAAAAAAAc/ZjiE04ndHXQ/s1600-h/_post_cervinicalzetteria-sw.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5AYj1l7rYhA/RcD5gYrOqVI/AAAAAAAAAAc/ZjiE04ndHXQ/s320/_post_cervinicalzetteria-sw.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5026291518920370514" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5AYj1l7rYhA/RcDc14rOqTI/AAAAAAAAAAM/tILZ6C-7L10/s1600-h/_post_cervinicalzetteria-sw.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11920391-7346705803050818630?l=knittingthrough.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/feeds/7346705803050818630/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11920391&amp;postID=7346705803050818630' title='2 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/7346705803050818630'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/7346705803050818630'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/2007/01/presentes-da-filomena-presents-from.html' title='Presentes da Filomena / Presents from Filomena'/><author><name>knit_tgz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04110553863107273416</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5AYj1l7rYhA/RcD5gYrOqVI/AAAAAAAAAAc/ZjiE04ndHXQ/s72-c/_post_cervinicalzetteria-sw.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920391.post-5108841803262443488</id><published>2007-01-30T23:02:00.001Z</published><updated>2009-04-18T20:53:31.203Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='FOs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Meias/Socks'/><title type='text'>Meias / Socks</title><content type='html'>(para concorrer a &lt;a href="http://www.pointysticks.org/?p=45"&gt;este concurso&lt;/a&gt;, mas também porque já tinha pensado nisto/&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; post to participate in &lt;a href="http://www.pointysticks.org/?p=45"&gt;this contest&lt;/a&gt; but also because I had thought of it some days ago)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tem estado frio (para o nosso clima!) e eu com o frio tenho os pés e as mãos frias. Só que, ultimamente, ando preguiçosa e a querer trabalhar em fios grossos, que andam depressa (daí as mantas, a Lizard Ridge e agora uma em crochet, assim que eu arranje agulhas...). E meias e luvas, nada. Fui comprar meias até aos joelhos de lã (mas de fábrica!), em desespero de causa (e de frio), que se esperar até fazer algum par de meias, bem fico descalça até ao ano que vem....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;It has been cold (for our climate) and I get cold hands and cold feet. But lately, I am feeling lazy and want to work in thick yarns that knit fast (hence the blankets, Lizard Ridge and now a crocheted one, as soon as I find a hook...) So, no gloves, and no socks. Feeling cold, I bought more factory-made wool knee socks, because if I would wait for me to knit a pair, my feet would freeze.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Mas a verdade é que &lt;a href="http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/2006_02_01_archive.html"&gt;já tricotei um par de meias&lt;/a&gt;, e tenho mais dois em andamento (as infames Jaywalkers, e um par com várias linhas à mistura). O par de meias que tricotei até ao fim deu-me gozo, bem mais que as Jaywalkers (que, em agulha 2 mm, nunca mais acabam), mas ficou-me um pouco largo e acabei por dá-lo à minha mãe. O par em várias linhas está-me à medida, e vai quase a meio, mas agora estou com preguiça, que se há-de fazer! Abaixo fica a foto do único par completo que fiz:&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The truth is &lt;a href="http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/2006_02_01_archive.html"&gt;I have already knitted a pair of socks&lt;/a&gt;, and I have two other pairs in the needles (the infamous Jaywalkers, and another pair with several yarns). The pair I finished was fun to knit, a lot more than the Jaywalkers (the neverending Jaywalkers in 2 mm needles),but it was a bit large and I ended up giving it to my mother. The pair using several yarns is perfect in my foot (singular!), but I am lazy now to knit the other sock! Here's the photo of the only pair I completed:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2734/986/1600/meias_verm_08.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2734/986/1600/meias_verm_08.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2734/986/1600/meias_verm_02.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2734/986/1600/meias_verm_02.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11920391-5108841803262443488?l=knittingthrough.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/feeds/5108841803262443488/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11920391&amp;postID=5108841803262443488' title='1 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/5108841803262443488'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/5108841803262443488'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/2007/01/meias-socks.html' title='Meias / Socks'/><author><name>knit_tgz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04110553863107273416</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920391.post-3697526773510506349</id><published>2007-01-30T22:16:00.001Z</published><updated>2009-04-18T20:57:11.998Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pergunta aos leitores / Ask the readers'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mantas/Blankets'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Crochet'/><title type='text'>Pergunta/ Question: Crochet</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;(in English after the dashes)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pois é, eu sei fazer crochet, mas costumo trabalhar com agulhas fininhas (o último grande projecto é uma toalha de mesa em quadrados de linho). Segue-se que estou a pensar fazer uma manta em crochet para aproveitar restinhos de linha com as sobras do Lizard Ridge (que é impossível fotografar, dado que a máquina desistiu de vez...) e outras linhas, e tenho uma pergunta:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Se para tricotar uma linha eu uso agulha 6 mm, para fazer crochet com a mesma linha, devo usar agulha 6 mm também, ou uma mais grossa para o tecido resultante não ficar demasiado duro?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Agradeço desde já a quem me souber responder (nos comentários).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ACRESCENTO POSTERIOR: Parece que é mesmo isso, preciso de uma agulha mais grossa para fazer crochet: ver &lt;a href="http://crochetinsider.com/In_Defense.html"&gt;aqui&lt;/a&gt;. A ver se as consigo encontrar, que não está fácil e não me parece que seja muito prático usar uma agulha de tricot com barbela em vez de uma agulha de crochet!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-----&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;So, I can crochet, but I usually work in thin thread and needles (my last WIP is a table cover in linen squares). I am thinking of crocheting a blanket to use up yarn leftovers from Lizard Ridge (which, by the way, I cannot photograph, as my camera gave up working...) and other yarns, and I have a question:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If to knit with a certain yarn I use 6 mm needles, to crochet with the same yarn, should I use a 6 mm hook, or a thicker one to get a more drapeable fabric?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks in advance for any advice (in the comments' section).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EDITED TO ADD: It seems I was right, I need a thicker crochet hook than the knitting needles: see  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://crochetinsider.com/In_Defense.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;.

Afinal, os leitores mais assíduos sabem que sou católica, e provavelmente supõem que isso me leva a preferir uma lei que, a uma mulher em dúvida, torne mais difícil a opção pelo aborto, uma lei que talvez nalguns casos faça a mulher ou aqueles que a querem aconselhar nesse sentido recuar. Supõem bem. Mas ia manter o meu não em silêncio, reservado aos que me são íntimos e com quem já discuti o tema muitas, muitas vezes. Íntimos que concordam e íntimos que discordam, mas íntimos com quem posso explorar o tema com o respeito e profundidade necessários, que me parecem difíceis de conseguir aqui. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Daí o silêncio, que apenas quebro agora.

I have knitted in several places (read my comment) and &lt;a href="http://nakedsheep.blogspot.com/2006/10/contest-winners.html"&gt;I won&lt;/a&gt; some presents because I have knitted in a spiritual retreat (it's true!). They told us to read some text of the Bible, and to meditate on it. I read, wrote a little bit, went walking through the fields around the retreat center, meditated, and, in the most natural way, reached for a easy knitting project I had taken with me to the retreat (ops!...) and started knitting...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Segue-se que no dia 12 recebi os presentes dela e são muitos e bons!/ &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;In the 12th I received her presents and it's a lot of nice things!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cá vão/&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Here they are&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uma revista Interweave Knits dedicada ao tricot para as festas/&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;A holiday Interweave Knits&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/2734/986/1600/159984/_post_krista_1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/2734/986/320/675994/_post_krista_1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quatro meadas de Rowanspun dk na cor 747/&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Four skeins of Rowanspun dk in colour 747&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/2734/986/1600/479663/_post_krista_4.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/2734/986/320/880016/_post_krista_4.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/2734/986/1600/847190/_post_krista_3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/2734/986/320/20757/_post_krista_3.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/2734/986/1600/673474/_post_rowanspun_out.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/2734/986/320/956649/_post_rowanspun_out.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Um saco para guardar coisas poupando espaço (útil para pôr linhas!)/&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;A space-saving bag (good to store stash!)&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/2734/986/1600/443015/_post_krista_6.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/2734/986/320/387817/_post_krista_6.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E um postal/&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;and a postcard&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/2734/986/1600/705740/_post_krista_8.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/2734/986/320/885764/_post_krista_8.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E ainda as prendas doutro &lt;a href="http://unioncenterknits.typepad.com/union_center_knits/2006/12/yarn_stars_and_.html#comment-26401174"&gt;concurso&lt;/a&gt;, em que a Joni me perguntava qual a minha tradição preferida de Natal.

É 100% acrílico, mas é um bom acrílico, está dobado em cones e as cores são bonitas. A linha é boa, o toque é bom e não desfia, eu é que ando sem tempo e sem espaço e quero ver-me livre de alguma &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;stash&lt;/span&gt;... E é MONTES de linha (500 g / 2500 m cada cone).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;You can see details &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/06/4-ply-cygnet-acrylic.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. It is 100% acrylic, but it is nice acrylic, already wound in cones and the colours are nice. The line is good, the touch is nice and it does not split, but I don't have enough space and enough time for my stash... And each cone has LOTS of yarn! (500 g / 2500 m each cone).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Portanto, se alguém quiser algum dos cones, escreva nos comentários qual cor é que quer e depois eu contacto por email para saber do endereço e tratarmos dos pormenores dos custos postais. Se houver vários interessados, vai por ordem!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;So, if someone wants any of the cones, please write in the comments which colour he/she wants and then I will email to know the postal address and to settle the details about the postal costs.

Então &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;pergunto&lt;/span&gt;: acham que acrescente alguma destas duas linhas (ou ambas) &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2005/06/handpaintedyarn-novelty-boutone-pure.html"&gt;A1&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/11/misteriosa-unknown.html"&gt;A2&lt;/a&gt;? A primeira é 100% lã como as outras, mas mais fina e tem uma textura diferente. A segunda, bem, não sei de que é feita sequer...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;According to my calculations, to have a decent-sized blanket (around 1.20*1.50 m) I need to use a bit more yarn. So I &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;ask the readers&lt;/span&gt;: do you think I should add any (or both) of this yarns &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2005/06/handpaintedyarn-novelty-boutone-pure.html"&gt;A1&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/11/misteriosa-unknown.html"&gt;A2&lt;/a&gt;? The first one is 100% wool like the others, but thinner and with a different texture. The second, I have no idea of its composition...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Como sempre, respostas nos comentários!

A antiga dona não sabe nem a marca nem a composição, mas eu apaixonei-me pelas cores. Testámos (ambas) com o teste do fogo, e ainda não tirei conclusões. Ou seja, o fio arde como lã (queimei várias pontinhas de fios de composição conhecida para  comparar), mas não feltra e tem um toque mais frio que a lã. Vou experimentar com mais linhas, a ver se descubro. Ainda não decidi se a hei-de usar também no Lizard Ridge ou não./&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/11/misteriosa-unknown.html"&gt;This&lt;/a&gt; is the mistery yarn. Her previous owner does not know the brand nor the composition, but I fell in love with the colours. We both did the burn test, and no conclusions yet. It burns like wool (I tested several yarns of known composition, by burning little pieces of them, to compare), but it does not felt and has a cooler touch than wool. I will test with more yarns, to see if I find out. I have not decided if I will use it in Lizard Ridge or not.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11920391-116318583646466911?l=knittingthrough.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/feeds/116318583646466911/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11920391&amp;postID=116318583646466911' title='6 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/116318583646466911'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/116318583646466911'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/2006/11/linhas-novas-new-yarns.html' title='Linhas novas/ New yarns'/><author><name>knit_tgz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04110553863107273416</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920391.post-116293066314916373</id><published>2006-11-07T19:00:00.001Z</published><updated>2009-04-18T22:00:30.006Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Eu/Me'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Memes Quizzes etc.'/><title type='text'>Outro meme / Another meme</title><content type='html'>Visto no &lt;a href="http://www.spittingyarn.com/blog/?p=173"&gt;blogue da Noo&lt;/a&gt;.

So, I will cite the 2nd paragraph, without equations: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“where &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;p&lt;/span&gt; is the number of nearest neighbours, and the square-bracketed relation for the above-mentioned assumption that spins which are not nearest neighbours have a zero exchange integral. Other assumptions about some finite values for the next-nearest neighbours (of which real cases exist [4]), or even further-away spins, are also possible with the same algebra. An example will be given in section 2.3. For these notations, eqn (2.2.29) is”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(from Introduction to the Theory of Ferromagnetism, Amikam Aharoni)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Riveting, isn't it? :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;2. If you stretch out your left arm - as far as possible, what are you touching?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I simply stretch it to the left, air. Going around with the stretched arm, I touch the book, a notebook, several papers, a dvd, my sunglasses, my computer, a bottle of water, my chair and the wall behind me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;3. What’s the last program you watched on tv?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday, just a bit of an episode of "Sex and the City". Did not like it so did not want to watch the rest. Lately, the TV series that's more in my mind is "House, M.D."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;4. Without looking, guess what time it is.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;19:20.  It’s actually 19:05 (good, it's earlier than I thought).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Except the computer, what can you hear right now?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Buses on the street, other colleagues typing in their computers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. When was the last time you were outside and what did you do?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At 16:30, came back from classes to my office, which is in a different building.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. What are you wearing?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeans, a wine-coloured long sleeve t-shirt, a dark blue cardigan, black sneakers, bright pink socks. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. Did you dream last night? If you did, what about?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I dreamt a very weird dream. I was with people I know from church (but don't know that much, they are just people I know, not friends) and we went to a clothes store (handpainted t-shirts, long skirts, the bohemian look) which also sold pottery knicknacks. We did not buy anything. Afterwards, it started raining so we all went to the car. The guy who owned the car drove us to some place I don't know among buildings and parked the car, and the four of us started chatting inside the parked car. But then the conversation got a little too personal to tell online. Nothing steamy or romantic, just a bit too personal. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. When was the last time you laughed?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At lunch, about some joke a friend told. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;10. What’s on the walls, in the room you’re in right now?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two blackboards with advanced mathematics scribbled on them, a sticker with our phone number, a few postcards from people who were previously our colleagues and are abroad now, and a phone list.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;11. Have you seen anything strange lately?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was a metal tube sticking out from the sidewalk, about 10 cm high. I really did not see it, I stumbled over it, but curiously the friend that was with me guessed I would not see it and would stumble over it, so he warned me and at the same time grabbed my arm just in time to prevent me from falling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;12. What do you think about this meme?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;13. What’s the last film you saw? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the cinema, it was &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Children of Men&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;14. If you became a multimillionaire, what would you do with the money?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Buy a house for me and the essentials for the house, give a good amount to close family. If there was really a lot of money, invest some and give some to my closest friends and favourite charities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;15. Tell us something about yourself that most people don’t know. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See &lt;a href="http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/2006/02/5-hbitos-estranhos5-ideosyncrasies.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;16. If you could change ONE THING in this world, without regarding politics or bad guilt - what would it be? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't know. Noo voiced one of my concerns: that I would make a change that seemed good but had catastrophic results. (When I was a child I wondered what would I do if God gave me infinite power, and I would politely refuse it. I guess I am a wimp. Or else I think too much. Or both). Don't really know. Maybe I would change myself, to be wiser. Because then maybe I would know what to do. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;17. Do you like dancing? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I cannot dance. Some day I will try to learn it, but I cannot dance at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;18. George Bush?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What does this question mean?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;19. What do you want your children’s names to be, girl/boy?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I feel this is private and don't want to share it here. There are several names I like, the 3 I like best start with P, M and S. Still, I would love to have several children, so there's room for several names. And the other parent, the father, should have a choice in the names too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;20. Would you ever consider living abroad? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It depends. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;21. What do you want God to tell you, when you come to heaven? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Come to My arms, daughter. All is forgiven. Rejoice!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;22. Who should do this meme?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like Noo said: &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;"Anyone who wants to.  I’d encourage everyone to answer number 1, at least, though.  I want to know what’s on page 18 at paragraph 4 of your book!"&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still, I would love to know from &lt;a href="http://porta1600.planetaclix.pt/tricotetal/"&gt;Filomena&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://tricotadeira.blogspot.com/"&gt;Ovelha Tricotadeira&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://mamamartinho.wordpress.com/"&gt;Mamã Martinho&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://lauraknitting.blogspot.com/"&gt;Laura&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If any of my readers answers this meme, please comment here!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11920391-116293066314916373?l=knittingthrough.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/feeds/116293066314916373/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11920391&amp;postID=116293066314916373' title='2 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/116293066314916373'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/116293066314916373'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/2006/11/outro-meme-another-meme.html' title='Outro meme / Another meme'/><author><name>knit_tgz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04110553863107273416</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920391.post-116266039339474123</id><published>2006-11-04T16:45:00.001Z</published><updated>2009-04-18T21:09:27.032Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dar/Give'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Linhas/Stash'/><title type='text'>Problema e oferta de lã / Problem and yarn giveaway</title><content type='html'>Como sabem, comecei o Lizard Ridge usando uma série de linhas 100% lã. Estou a sortear a ordem e o número de riscas de cada cor. Bem, logo nas primeiras 5 tenho 2 riscas de &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/05/reynolds-lopi.html"&gt;Reynolds Lopi cinza claro&lt;/a&gt;, que já tricotei. &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Problema:&lt;/span&gt; esta lã larga pêlo, e causa-me alergia! Ainda pensei que seria tolerável, mas hoje pica-me o rosto e o tronco todo, e tenho a pele do rosto seca e a descamar, por isso só tenho uma hipótese: desfazer o que fiz e recomeçar a manta sem usar esta linha. A minha sorte é que é apenas um novelo, por isso não é demasiado grave.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;As you know, I started Lizard Ridge using several 100% wool yarns. I am randomluy choosing the order and the number of stripes in each colour. Well, in the first 5 stripes there are 2 using &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/05/reynolds-lopi.html"&gt;Reynolds Lopi in light grey&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Problem:&lt;/span&gt; this yarn sheds, and I am allergic to it! I thought maybe it would be tolerable, but today my face and body itches and my face's skin is dry and scaly, so there's only one solution: to frog what I have knitted and restart the blanket without using this yarn. I'm lucky it is only one ball, so it's not a big deal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Como não posso tricotar com esta lã nem usá-la seja para o que for, &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;ofereço-a&lt;/span&gt; à primeira pessoa (europeia, por favor, para que o correio não seja demasiado caro para mim) que escreva nos comentários que a quer usar. No novelo, por usar, estão cerca de 80 gramas, e se a pessoa quiser posso dar-lhe também a linha já usada (cerca de 20 gramas). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;As I cannot knit with this yarn nor use it in anything, I give it away to the first person (in Europe, please, so that the postal cost will not be too high for me) who writes in the comments that she/he wishes to use it. In the ball, unused, there are still around 80 grams, and if the person wishes, I can send also the frogged yarn (around 20 grams).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A primeira pessoa a comentar, que me deixe o seu endereço electrónico, que eu depois contacto-a para saber (em privado) o endereço postal e avisar do envio. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;The first person to comment should leave me his/her email address, so that I can contact her in order to know the postal address and to confirm that I have sent it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11920391-116266039339474123?l=knittingthrough.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/feeds/116266039339474123/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11920391&amp;postID=116266039339474123' title='1 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/116266039339474123'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/116266039339474123'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/2006/11/problema-e-oferta-de-l-problem-and.html' title='Problema e oferta de lã / Problem and yarn giveaway'/><author><name>knit_tgz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04110553863107273416</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920391.post-116223936118681347</id><published>2006-11-02T19:32:00.001Z</published><updated>2009-04-18T21:56:22.972Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cachecóis/Scarves'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='FOs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mantas/Blankets'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Malha/Knitting'/><title type='text'>Quase prontos / Almost finished</title><content type='html'>Se o Blogger me tivesse deixado, era isto que eu queria ter escrito no dia 30 de Outubro. / &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;If Blogger had let me do it, I would have posted this on October 3oth.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pouco tempo para escrever.

Resta decidir os pormenores. Para já, decidi: 1) fazer riscas em cores alternadas, em tiras, &lt;a href="http://sockpr0n.blogspot.com/2006/10/ridged-pleasure.html"&gt;com liga entre as cores&lt;/a&gt;; 2) sortear a sequência de cores e o número de riscas de cada cor usando o gerador de números aleatórios da minha velha máquina de calcular de 1990 e pouco; 3) usar todas as cores que tenho, e à medida que for recebendo mais linhas que queira juntar, vou acrescentando.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;The &lt;a href="http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/2006/10/pergunto-aos-leitores-i-ask-readers.html"&gt;opinions&lt;/a&gt; are &lt;a href="http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/2006/10/outra-pergunta-another-question.html"&gt;unanimous&lt;/a&gt;: I will knit &lt;a href="http://knitty.com/ISSUEfall06/PATTlizardridge.html"&gt;Lizard Ridge&lt;/a&gt;. Now the details. I have decided: 1) to knit full stripes in alternate colours &lt;a href="http://sockpr0n.blogspot.com/2006/10/ridged-pleasure.html"&gt;with garter ridges between colours&lt;/a&gt;; 2) to define the colour sequence and the number of repeats in each colour using the random number generator in my old calculator from the early 1990s; 3) to use all the colours I've got, and when I receive another colour I want to use in the blanket, then add it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ou seja, resolvi o problema de não saber como combinar as cores e ficar indecisa atribuindo a decisão ao acaso! (como na mini-manta abaixo, em que a largura de cada risca foi decidida pelo mesmo gerador de números aleatórios). Claro que tenho medo de que fique feio, mas quando juntei os novelos todos vi que, embora estranho, o conjunto de cores não é feio. Eu gostava que tivesse mais vermelho e mais roxo, mas ver-se-á se funciona... Seguirei o que a máquina me ditar, com uma única excepção: se saírem riscas alternadas da mesma cor, sorteio outra vez até que dê cor diferente!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;This means I solved the problem of deciding how to combine the colours by making a random number generator decide! (the same generator I used to decide each stripe width in the mini-blanket below). Of course I'm afraid it will be ugly, but when I got all my yarns together I saw that, though weird, the colours don't make an ugly combination. I would like it to have more red and violet, but we will see if it works... I will follow what the calculator dictates, with one single exception: if I get alternate stripes of the same colour, I'll draw another number to replace it until the colours are different!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De resto, já comecei (vou na segunda repetição e não tenho fotos ainda) e o modelo é mais fácil de tricotar do que eu pensava :) Agora descobri uma &lt;a href="http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEsummer03/FEATbonnetric.html"&gt;maneira&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.cosmicpluto.com/blog/?p=585"&gt;mais fácil&lt;/a&gt; de fazer os &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;wrap &amp; turn&lt;/span&gt; e vai ser cada vez melhor :) Vai ficar radicalmente diferente do modelo com Noro Kureyon, mas espero que fique bonito!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;I have already started knitting (I'm on the second repeat and don't have photos) and the pattern is easier than I thought :) Now I found an &lt;a href="http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEsummer03/FEATbonnetric.html"&gt;easier&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.cosmicpluto.com/blog/?p=585"&gt;way&lt;/a&gt; to do the &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;wrap &amp; turn&lt;/span&gt; and it's going to be great :) My blanket will be very different from the ones using Noro Kureyon, but I hope it will be pretty!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11920391-116248210739543267?l=knittingthrough.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/feeds/116248210739543267/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11920391&amp;postID=116248210739543267' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/116248210739543267'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/116248210739543267'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/2006/11/random-lizard-ridge.html' title='Random Lizard Ridge'/><author><name>knit_tgz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04110553863107273416</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920391.post-116232372965698594</id><published>2006-10-31T19:35:00.001Z</published><updated>2009-04-18T21:57:23.981Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pergunta aos leitores / Ask the readers'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mantas/Blankets'/><title type='text'>Outra pergunta / Another question</title><content type='html'>Continuo interessada na vossa opinião quanto ao &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;post&lt;/span&gt; anterior... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;I am still interested in your opinion on the previous post...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mas para as que já responderam (obrigada!), e para todos os que quiserem dar uma opinião, &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;outra pergunta&lt;/span&gt;: Se eu fizer o Lizard Ridge alternando cores, acham que devo incluir, juntamente com as linhas que já referi ontem, mais &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2005/09/handpaintedyarn-laguna-merin-thinthick.html"&gt;estas&lt;/a&gt; (desta cor tenho 600 g, logo esta apareceria com mais frequência)?

Quero fazer uma manta com lãs variadas: &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/05/magallanes-araucania-yarns.html"&gt;esta&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/05/variegated-cherry-tree-hill.html"&gt;esta&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/05/reynolds-lopi.html"&gt;esta&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/03/ls-pintadas-mohandpainted-wool-yarns.html"&gt;a laranja desta&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/01/handpaintedyarn-ejido-160.html"&gt;esta&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/03/debbie-bliss-merino-chunky.html"&gt;talvez esta&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/01/mission-falls-1824-wool.html"&gt;talvez esta&lt;/a&gt;, e ainda outras que comprei recentemente (ajudando ao &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;destash&lt;/span&gt; duma colega tricotadeira). De cada uma delas só tenho 100 a 200 g, é mesmo para ficar multicor. Há vários padrões que me atraem. Qual dos seguintes vos parece melhor?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;I am undecided and am asking my readers for their opinions, if I still have any readers... I want to knit a blanket with several yarns: &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/05/magallanes-araucania-yarns.html"&gt;this one&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/05/variegated-cherry-tree-hill.html"&gt;this one&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/05/reynolds-lopi.html"&gt;this one&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/03/ls-pintadas-mohandpainted-wool-yarns.html"&gt;the orange one&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/01/handpaintedyarn-ejido-160.html"&gt;this one&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/03/debbie-bliss-merino-chunky.html"&gt;maybe this one&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/01/mission-falls-1824-wool.html"&gt;maybe this one&lt;/a&gt; and other yarns I bought recently (helping to destash a fellow knitter). I only have 100 g to 200 g of each, so it's supposed to be a multicoloured blanket. I like several patterns. Which of the following looks best to you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;1 -&lt;/span&gt; Quadrados de uma só cor em liga diagonal/ &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Unicoloured squares in diagonal garter&lt;/span&gt;. Vantagens: simples, permite-me distribuir as cores no fim. Inconvenientes: mais costura, se não quero desperdiçar linha vou ter de fazer quadrados multicores e não saberei como os combinar. &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Pros: easy, allows me to combine the colours in the end. Cons: more sewing, I'll have to knit multicolour squares as I want to use up all the yarn and I'll not know how to combine them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;2 -&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://knitty.com/ISSUEfall06/PATTlizardridge.html"&gt;Lizard Ridge&lt;/a&gt; Adaptado para ir alternando duas cores, como &lt;a href="http://linnetknits.blogspot.com/2006/10/by-dark-of-night.html"&gt;aqui&lt;/a&gt;. Tricotado em tiras, como &lt;a href="http://sockpr0n.blogspot.com/2006/10/ridged-pleasure.html"&gt;aqui&lt;/a&gt;. Posso não bloquear e deixar as saliências, como &lt;a href="http://celiaknits.blogspot.com/2006/10/post-entirely-for-cynthia.html"&gt;aqui&lt;/a&gt;. Vantagens: Lindo. Se feito em tiras, menos costuras. Posso ir alternando cores e não tenho a dúvida sobre o que fazer aos restos como na hipótese 1. Inconvenientes: Parece mais difícil. Terei de ir pensando que cores ir alternando, até porque ainda não tenho as linhas todas e não quero esperar por elas para começar.&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Alternating two yarns, like &lt;a href="http://linnetknits.blogspot.com/2006/10/by-dark-of-night.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. Knit in stripes, like &lt;a href="http://sockpr0n.blogspot.com/2006/10/ridged-pleasure.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. I can decide not to block and let it have texture, like &lt;a href="http://celiaknits.blogspot.com/2006/10/post-entirely-for-cynthia.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. Pros: Beautiful. If knit in stripes, less sewing. I can alternate colours and I don't have to find a way to use the leftovers like in 1. Cons: Looks harder. I'll have to think what colours to alternate, as I don't have all yarns yet and I don't want to wait for them to start knitting.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;3 - &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://ellenbloom.blogspot.com/2006/10/crazy-about-lizard-ridge.html"&gt;Lizard Ridge crochet&lt;/a&gt; Vantagens: como é crochet, posso fazer a largura toda em vez de tiras, sem ter de costurar. Inconvenientes: a textura do crochet é capaz de ser menos maleável e mais desagradável ao toque. &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Pros: As it is crochet, I can make across all width instead of stripes, and not have to sew anything. Cons: the texture of crochet may be less drapey and less nice to touch.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4 - &lt;a href="http://www.knitting-and.com/knitting/patterns/afghans/entrelacafghan.htm"&gt;Garterlac&lt;/a&gt;. Vantagens: Se feito em tiras, menos costuras. Posso ir alternando cores e não tenho a dúvida sobre o que fazer aos restos como na hipótese 1. Inconvenientes: Parece mais difícil. Terei de ir pensando que cores ir alternando, até porque ainda não tenho as linhas todas e não quero esperar por elas para começar. Seduz-me menos que o 2, mas parece mais fácil. &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Pros: If knit in stripes, less sewing. I can alternate colours and I don't have to find a way to use the leftovers like in 1. Cons: Looks harder. I'll have to think what colours to alternate, as I don't have all yarns yet and I don't want to wait for them to start knitting. I find it less beautiful than 2, but looks easier.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5 - &lt;a href="http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEwinter05/PATTdanica.html"&gt;Entrelac&lt;/a&gt;. Em tiras, como o 4, talvez mais bonito./ &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;In stripes, like 4, but maybe more beautiful.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por favor deixem as vossas opiniões nos comentários.

Ocupada com a tese, sem tempo para muito mais. Mas sempre arrumei alguma coisa, e decidi que algumas das minhas lãs deviam ir para outras casas. Tenho lãs que cheguem (e que sobrem!) para uns anos, e falta de espaço e de dinheiro, para já. Mais tarde, logo se verá. Portanto, aqui fica, em primeira mão, o meu primeiro &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;post&lt;/span&gt; de &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;stash reduction&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;----&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;I have been missing. Busy with my dissertation, and not much time. I have tidied up things a bit, and decided I should sell a few of my yarns. My stash is more than enough for a couple of years, and I need more space and some extra money. Later on, we'll see. So, here is my first post of stash reduction:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;----&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;PARA VENDA / FOR SALE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Todas as linhas referidas estão enoveladas e em perfeito estado de conservação.

Tinha contribuído há um tempo largo para &lt;a href="http://www.yarnharlot.ca/blog/tsffaq.html"&gt;esta causa&lt;/a&gt;, e nunca mais pensei no assunto. Há uns dias, recebi um email &lt;a href="http://www.yarnharlot.ca/blog/"&gt;DELA&lt;/a&gt; a dizer que &lt;a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/fionaphoenix/"&gt;uma generosa tricotadeira&lt;/a&gt; tinha oferecido uma série de coisas para dar a 34 dos muitos que contribuíram (e continuam a contribuir). E eu fui uma das sorteadas! Foi isto que eu escolhi:/ I have won a present! Some time ago, I contributed to &lt;a href="http://www.yarnharlot.ca/blog/tsffaq.html"&gt;this&lt;/a&gt;, and forgot about it. Some days ago, I received an email from &lt;a href="http://www.yarnharlot.ca/blog/"&gt;HER&lt;/a&gt; saying that &lt;a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/fionaphoenix/"&gt;a generous knitter&lt;/a&gt; had given lots of things to offer to 34 of the many that have given (and continue to give). And I was one of the lucky ones! This is what I chose:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2734/986/1600/Premio_KWB_Yarn_Harlot.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2734/986/320/Premio_KWB_Yarn_Harlot.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Lã para fiar, com excepção da fibra brilhante que é um sintético derivado de plástico reciclado. Obrigada Amy, e obrigada Stephanie!/&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Spinning wool fibre, with exception of the shiny fibre which is synthetic, made from recycled plastic bottles. Thanks Amy, and thanks Stephanie!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;5)&lt;/span&gt; Finalmente, fotos do casaco de trapilho que está parado aí desde 2003. Acho que agora já voltei a gostar um pouco mais dele, por isso talvez o retome, logo tenha mais tempo, e que abrande o fascinio por meias e fiação./ &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Finally, some photos of the cardigan which is on the needles since 2003, neglected. I think I like it better now, so maybe I will continue it, as soon as I have more time and don't feel so fascinated by socks and spinning.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2734/986/1600/casacoUFO8.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2734/986/320/casacoUFO8.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2734/986/1600/casacoUFO9.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2734/986/320/casacoUFO9.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11920391-115351366873157303?l=knittingthrough.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/feeds/115351366873157303/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11920391&amp;postID=115351366873157303' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/115351366873157303'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/115351366873157303'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/2006/07/compras-prendas-e-fotos-purchases.html' title='Compras, prendas e fotos/ Purchases, presents and photos'/><author><name>knit_tgz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04110553863107273416</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920391.post-115385750460930476</id><published>2006-07-25T19:49:00.000Z</published><updated>2006-07-25T19:58:24.620Z</updated><title type='text'>Coisas que me faltam / Things missing</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;1)&lt;/span&gt; Não encontro o cabo da minha máquina fotográfica, donde uma série de coisas que queria fotografar (e escrever sobre elas) estão à espera de que eu arrume a minha secretária em casa, onde suponho que ele esteja. / &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;I cannot find the cable of my camera, so there are some things I wanted to photograph (and post about them) are waiting for me to tidy up my desk at home, where I suppose it is. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;2)&lt;/span&gt; Falta-me tempo para usar &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/"&gt;as coisas que comprei&lt;/a&gt; (agora sim, faço dieta de linhas e fibras.

Pouca malha, pouco tempo para escrever. Nenhumas fotografias. Ainda assim, tenho coisas a dizer:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Entrei numa troca: o &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/48445785@N00/161377172/"&gt;International Magazine Swap&lt;/a&gt; da &lt;a href="http://www.cottonstrudel.com/blog/index.php"&gt;Cotton Strudel&lt;/a&gt;. A mim calhou-me uma artista da tecelagem canadiana, a Jen, (vejam só &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/textrix"&gt;os trabalhos que ela teceu&lt;/a&gt;!) que, generosamente, me enviou duas revistas (uma de malha, a &lt;a href="http://interweave.com/knit/default.asp"&gt;Interweave Knits&lt;/a&gt; Summer 2006, e outra de costura!) e um jornal de uma associação canadiana de artesãos. Logo que tenha um bocadinho de tempo, tiro algumas fotografias para ilustrar!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Por falar em costura: estou cheia de vontade de aprender a costurar, embora só tenha uma máquina daquelas baratas que só faz ponto a direito (nem sequer ziguezague, o que era bem útil para rematar as pontas dos tecidos!). Desde que vi alguns padrões que aparentemente não são demasiado complexos, e que são de um estilo que favorece o meu corpo... Mas para já não, não posso. Haverá tempo. (Já vos disse que a minha avó era modista de alta costura? A sério, de vestidos de cerimónia! Infelizmente, não nasci a tempo de ver as peças bordadas à mão e com lantejoulas...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) Houve mais aumentos da minha &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;stash&lt;/span&gt;, quer de fibras, quer de linhas, e mesmo de fusos, mas falta-me a paciência para actualizar no &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/"&gt;sítio certo&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) Aproveitei o futebol para fazer alguma malha. Retomei as pobres esquecidas meias jaywalker (já passei o calcanhar da segunda), e comecei umas novas meias a usar restinhos de linha de meias. Receita simples e muito interessante. Hei-de escrever mais sobre isso.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) Restinhos de linhas de meias esses que adquiri numa troca com &lt;a href="http://siriusknitting.com%20/"&gt;outra tricotadeira&lt;/a&gt;. Eu enviei-lhe um novelo de linha para meia meu, e ela enviou-me um enorme saco de novelinhos de linha para meias com o dobro do peso! Depois ponho aqui fotos também! (Um beijinho, Laura!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Volto ao silêncio!&lt;br /&gt;-------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have been busy, and tired, too. Not much knitting, not much time to post. No photos at all. I still have some things to say, though:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) I have been in a swap initiative: the &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/48445785@N00/161377172/"&gt;International Magazine Swap&lt;/a&gt; from &lt;a href="http://www.cottonstrudel.com/blog/index.php"&gt;Cotton Strudel&lt;/a&gt;. I have made a swap with a canadian weaver artist, Jen, (see &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/textrix"&gt;her works here&lt;/a&gt;!) who, generously, sent me 2 magazines (a knitting one, &lt;a href="http://interweave.com/knit/default.asp"&gt;Interweave Knits&lt;/a&gt; Summer 2006, and a sewing one!) and the newspaper of a canadian crafts association. As soon as I have a bit of time, I'll take some pictures to show you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Speaking of sewing: I will want to learn how to sew, even though I only have a cheap nasty sewing machine which only sews straight ahead (not even zigzag, which would be very useful!) Ever since I saw some patterns which don't seem too complex, and which flatter my body type... But I can't now. Sometime later. (Have I told you my grandmother was a haute-couture seamstress? The real kind, of ceremony dresses! Unfortunately, I was born too late to see the hand embroidered dresses, with beads or paillettes...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) My stash has been increased, in the fiber kind, in the yarn kind and even in the spindle kind, but I am out of patience to post everything in the &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/"&gt;appropriate place&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) During the World Cup games, I have knit a bit (yay!). I restarted the poor forgotten jaywalkers (am on the foot portion of the second one), and started some new socks using sock yarn mini-skeins of remainders. A simple and interesting pattern. I will write more about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) I acquired this sock yarn remainder skeins on a swap with &lt;a href="http://siriusknitting.com%20/"&gt;another knitter&lt;/a&gt;. I sent her a sock yarn skein of mine, and she sent me a big bag of mini sock-yarn balls with twice the weight! I will post photos later.

É bonito e daria um belo cachecol. Ou se se tiver um pouquinho mais de linha, uma echarpe, ou mesmo um top ou casaquinho rendado (para vestir com um top ou uma t-shirt lisa por baixo, claro).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note-se que a linha sugerida costuma ser trabalhada com agulha 4,5 mm, mas neste trabalho usam-se agulhas bem maiores, de 6 mm e de 10 mm. Isso ainda faz o fio render mais.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Reading this month's &lt;a href="http://magknits.com/June06/"&gt;Magknits&lt;/a&gt; issue, I had one idea to use those odd balls and skeins of yarn we have, lovely, but without enough yarn for even just a scarf: The open stitch used in &lt;a href="http://magknits.com/June06/patterns/market.htm"&gt;this bag&lt;/a&gt; would make a small amount of yarn go a long way. It would make great scarves. Or if you have a little more of yarn, a wrap or nice lacy tops or cardigans (to wear over a simple plain top or t-shirt, of course).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The suggested yarn usually is knitted with 4.5 mm needles, but in this project they use much bigger needles, 6 mm and 10 mm ones. So the yarn will go even a longer way.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Crossposted to &lt;a href="http://skeinalong.blogspot.com/"&gt;What's your skein?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11920391-114918230176480473?l=knittingthrough.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/feeds/114918230176480473/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11920391&amp;postID=114918230176480473' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/114918230176480473'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/114918230176480473'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/2006/06/ideia-para-um-noveloone-skein-idea.html' title='Ideia para um novelo/One skein idea'/><author><name>knit_tgz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04110553863107273416</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920391.post-114910925168076442</id><published>2006-05-31T20:18:00.001Z</published><updated>2009-04-18T22:17:21.788Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fiação/Spinning'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Linhas/Stash'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Links'/><title type='text'>Coisas diversas/Various things</title><content type='html'>Por topicos, e à pressa:/&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;In topics, and in a hurry:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Chegou ao fim o mês de Maio. &lt;a href="http://lollygirl.com/blog/?p=434"&gt;Mês do verde no Project Spectrum&lt;/a&gt;. E eu nada tricotei em verde. :( Este mês só tricotei nos peixinhos da mini-manta...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;May ends today. &lt;a href="http://lollygirl.com/blog/?p=434"&gt;The green month in Project Spectrum&lt;/a&gt;. And I have not knitted anything in green. :( This month I only knit on the fishies mini-afghan... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Seguindo a ideia do verde=reutilizar, vários links com interesse: &lt;a href="http://www.geocities.com/jaguarrior/"&gt;linhas&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.yarnrescue.com/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=48"&gt;recicladas&lt;/a&gt; de malhas (ambos nos EUA, mas também podem &lt;a href="http://search.ebay.com/recycled-yarn"&gt;ver no ebay&lt;/a&gt;), &lt;a href="http://www.neauveau.com/recycledyarn.html"&gt;como&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.az.com/~andrade/knit/thrifty.html"&gt;reciclar&lt;/a&gt; linhas de malhas que já não usamos (mesmo que industriais), &lt;a href="http://wardroberefashion.blogspot.com/"&gt;reciclar roupa&lt;/a&gt; (não me inscrevi, mas vou tentar fazer remodelações a algumas roupas que já não uso. Logo que tenha tempo...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Following the idea that green=reusing, several links of interest: &lt;a href="http://www.geocities.com/jaguarrior/"&gt;recycled&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.yarnrescue.com/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=48"&gt;yarn&lt;/a&gt; from store-bought knits (both in the USA, but you can also &lt;a href="http://search.ebay.com/recycled-yarn"&gt;try over ebay&lt;/a&gt;), &lt;a href="http://www.neauveau.com/recycledyarn.html"&gt;how to&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.az.com/~andrade/knit/thrifty.html"&gt;recicle&lt;/a&gt; yarn from knits we no longer use (even some industrial knits), &lt;a href="http://wardroberefashion.blogspot.com/"&gt;recicling clothes&lt;/a&gt; (I haven't taken the pledge, but will try to remodel some clothes I no longer wear, as soon as I have time...)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) Comprei mais linhas (com bom desconto) de uma tricotadeira que andou a limpar a &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;stash&lt;/span&gt; e os &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;UFOs&lt;/span&gt; (projectos não terminados). São estes (depois actualizarei &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/"&gt;aqui&lt;/a&gt; com pormenores): / &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;I bought more yarn (with a nice discount) from a knitter who is cleaning her stash and getting rid of UFOs (unfinished projects). Here they are (later I will give more details &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;):&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2734/986/1600/IMG_4202.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2734/986/320/IMG_4202.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) Já agora, os fusos, a fibra e o outro livro (não os dois do clube de livro, mas o da tricotadeira): / &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;And these are the spindles, fiber and the other book from the knitter (not the book from the book club): &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2734/986/1600/fusos_fibras_e_livro2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2734/986/320/fusos_fibras_e_livro2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) Não costumo falar de outras coisas além de malha e fiação aqui. Mas vou falar. Uma amiga que ganhei online, uma amiga doutro continente, teve boas notícias, e estou feliz por ela. E a rezar por ela e pelo pequenino dentro dela, também. É que ganhamos amor às pessoas cujos blogues lemos, mesmo que nunca tenham passado pelo nosso país... Um beijo e boa sorte, &lt;a href="http://rach.typepad.com/"&gt;Rach&lt;/a&gt;! &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Actualização:&lt;/span&gt; E agora outra! Um beijo e boa sorte, &lt;a href="http://www.knocked.typepad.com/"&gt;Jill&lt;/a&gt;!/ &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;I don't usually talk of things other than knitting and spinning around here. But I will. A friend I gained online, a friend from other continent, had good news, and I am happy for her. And praying for her and for the little one inside her. You know, we find ourselves caring for the ones whose blogs we read, even if they never have come to our country... A kiss of good luck, &lt;a href="http://rach.typepad.com/"&gt;Rach&lt;/a&gt;! &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Update:&lt;/span&gt; And now another one!

Com muito que fazer, pouco tempo livre, e pouca malha feita... Nos tempos livres, mais alguns peixinhos para a mini-manta de restinhos de lã e outras linhas. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;I am still here. With a lot to do, not much free time, and not much knitting done. In the few spare times, I have knit some more fishes for the samples mini-afghan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Entretanto, não conseguindo ter tempo para fazer malha, vingo-me nas compras, claro está. E como fazer compras quando se está com pouco dinheiro? Criteriosamente!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Meanwhile, as I don't have time to knit, I shop, of course. How to shop when I am almost broke? Judiciously!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Caso 1: Um clube do livro contactou-me para que me tornasse sócia. As condições não são demasiado exigentes (comprar um total de 6 livros por ano não é exagerado), e como brinde inicial eu podia encomendar dois livros de uma pequena selecção e pagaria apenas 6 euros e tal (portes já incluídos). Ora na selecção havia um livro de malha, versão traduzida para português &lt;a href="http://www.upcountry.co.uk/current/debbiebliss/blisscottknits.htm"&gt;deste&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Case 1: A book club contacted me. The conditions are OK (I must buy 6 books per year, which is not exaggerate), and as a welcome present I could buy 2 books from a small selection paying only around 6 euro (shipping included). And in the selection there was a knitting book, the translated version of &lt;a href="http://www.upcountry.co.uk/current/debbiebliss/blisscottknits.htm"&gt;this one&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Já o tenho! (Juntamente com um livro de culinária). Embora tenha muitos modelos para criança, de que não preciso para já (nem eu nem os meus amigos ou familiares directos temos filhos ou estamos a planeá-los por agora), tem alguns modelos para adulto bem bonitos e que me atraem. Tem também explicações razoavelmente claras de como se faz &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;intarsia&lt;/span&gt; e &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;jacquard/fair isle&lt;/span&gt;. E o que eu paguei por ele é imbatível, logo...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;I already have it! (Together with a cooking book). It has a lot of children's patterns, which I don't need now (neither me nor my friends or close family have kids or intend to have them now), but it has some adult patterns which I find attractive. It has also a nice section in the end that explains how to knit intarsia and fair isle. And I paid so little that I am happy!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Caso 2: Num fórum que frequento outra tricotadeira pôs à venda diversas coisas de que já não precisa, algumas com um belo desconto. E eu comprei 3 fusos (que vieram embalados com alguma fibra) e um livro por um preço simpático!

Usando o &lt;a href="http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/2006/02/ganhei-i-won.html"&gt;bouclé de seda e mohair&lt;/a&gt; que ganhei num concurso (e que já não se fabrica, para minha pena, porque é deliciosamente leve e macio), fiz isto:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;I have knit a simple scarf for me in the last week of March, and this one is for me (after having knit &lt;a href="http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/2005/12/branching-out.html"&gt;one for my mother&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/2005/07/cachecol-diagonal-diagonal-scarf.html"&gt;one for my brother&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/2006/02/outros-progressosother-progresses.html"&gt;one to trade with Noo&lt;/a&gt;. I used the &lt;a href="http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/2006/02/ganhei-i-won.html"&gt;silk mohair boucle&lt;/a&gt; I won in a contest (which was discontinued, to my chagrin, because it is wonderfully light and soft) to knit this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2734/986/1600/cachecol_silkmohair1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2734/986/320/cachecol_silkmohair1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2734/986/1600/cachecol_silkmohair14.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2734/986/320/cachecol_silkmohair14.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2734/986/1600/cachecol_silkmohair13.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2734/986/320/cachecol_silkmohair13.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Padrão:&lt;/span&gt; inventado, com base numa sugestão de alguém num encontro de tricotadeiras. Usando uma agulha bem maior que a recomendável para o fio (usei as de 8 mm, e a recomendada era 5.5 mm), montei 25 pontos (o que importa é ser número ímpar. Depois, é fazer &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;P1, *YO, P2tog*&lt;/span&gt;, e repetir o entre asteriscos até ao fim da carreira. Virar as agulhas e fazer exactamente o mesmo na volta seguinte. E assim até acabar o fio. [desculpem, mas digo em inglês, porque em português parece que há várias terminologias. Em português, eu diria que faço sempre o primeiro ponto da volta em revezil, depois vou fazendo uma laça e dois juntos em revezil até ao fim. Mas como há quem chame liga ao que eu chamo revezil, e há quem chame revezil ao que eu chamo canelado, fico-me pelo inglês que pelo menos é &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;unívoco&lt;/span&gt;].&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Notas sobre o padrão:&lt;/span&gt; Tinha pouco fio. Por isso, fui fazendo amostras com diversas agulhas e diversos pontos, usando 10 metros de fio, para ver que dimensão teria o cachecol final em cada caso. Ao fazer as amostras, apercebi-me que com certas combinações de agulha, ponto e número de malhas montadas obtinha aquele efeito em ziguezague. Com pequenas variações perdia-se o ziguezague e as cores misturavam-se de forma desinteressante. Por isso, foi só procurar uma combinação que funcionasse, usando a Matemática e a intuição. A Matemática é nossa amiga, fixem isso que é importante!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ficou macio, leve e arejado (claro). Tem bom cair e um tamanho que me agrada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Pattern:&lt;/span&gt; I invented it, from a suggestion someone gave me on a knitters meeting. Using a much bigger needle size than the recommended to this yarn (I used 8 mm, when the recommended was 5.5 mm), I cast on 25 stitches (what matters is that you cast on an odd number of stitches). Then, &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;P1, *YO, P2tog*&lt;/span&gt;, and repeat the part between stars, until the end of the row. Turn needles and knit exactly the same until the end of the row. And so on until the yarn is almost all used. Cast off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Notes about pattern:&lt;/span&gt; I did not have much yarn. So, I knitted several swatches in several stitches and using several needle sizes, using 10 meters of this yarn, to calculate what size would have the final scarf in each case. When knitting the swatches, I saw that some combinations of needle, stitch and number of cast-on stitches gave this interesting zig-zag pooling effect. A small variation would make the zig-zag disappear, and the colours would mix in an uninteresting way. So, I just had to search a combination that would work, using both Mathematics and intuition. Mathematics is our friend, believe me, this is important! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The scarf is soft, light and airy (of course). It has a good drape and I like its size.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11920391-114417522545345735?l=knittingthrough.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/feeds/114417522545345735/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11920391&amp;postID=114417522545345735' title='5 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/114417522545345735'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/114417522545345735'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/2006/04/este-para-mim-this-one-is-for-me.html' title='Este é para mim! / This one is for me!'/><author><name>knit_tgz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04110553863107273416</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920391.post-114444259368767358</id><published>2006-04-06T20:42:00.001Z</published><updated>2009-04-18T22:15:28.018Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Coisas de Principiante/Newbie here'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Memes Quizzes etc.'/><title type='text'>Um ano/ One year</title><content type='html'>Parabéns ao meu blogue!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy birthday to my blog!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11920391-114444259368767358?l=knittingthrough.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/feeds/114444259368767358/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11920391&amp;postID=114444259368767358' title='5 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/114444259368767358'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/114444259368767358'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/2006/04/um-ano-one-year.html' title='Um ano/ One year'/><author><name>knit_tgz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04110553863107273416</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920391.post-114366145318042619</id><published>2006-04-04T19:43:00.001Z</published><updated>2009-04-18T22:15:38.667Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Secret Pals'/><title type='text'>SP7 &amp; SP8</title><content type='html'>Faltava revelar a quem é que eu mandei presentes...

Que material tenho eu laranja e amarelo para trabalhar? 1) a &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/03/ls-pintadas-mohandpainted-wool-yarns.html"&gt;linha em tons de fogo&lt;/a&gt; que a Sharon, minha SP7, enviou; 2) &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/01/handpaintedyarn-merino-laceweight.html"&gt;merino laceweight, laranja&lt;/a&gt;; 3) &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2006/01/merino.html"&gt;merino para fiar, laranja&lt;/a&gt;; 4)&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2734/986/1600/bm_redjava.jpg"&gt;uma meada de merino 6-ply, alaranjada&lt;/a&gt;; 5) &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/2005/06/linha-laranja-orange-yarn.html"&gt;linha laranja&lt;/a&gt; que a Filomena, minha SP5, me deu; e finalmente 6) &lt;a href="http://knittingthroughstash.blogspot.com/1990/01/boucl-antiga-vintage-boucl.html"&gt;Bouclé amarelo torrado&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclui-se que: gosto mais de laranja (em particular cor de tijolo) que de amarelo [verdade], que o laranja me fica melhor que o amarelo [há tons de amarelo que me ficam bem, mas não são fáceis de encontrar], e que me ofereceram linhas laranja e não amarelas. Ainda assim, há tons de amarelo de que gosto, mas pondo-me a pensar, acho que só tenho duas peças de roupa amarelas, uma t-shirt e uma camisola. Curiosamente, ambas cor-de-mostarda.&lt;br /&gt;---&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;New month in &lt;a href="http://www.lollygirl.com/project_spectrum.html"&gt;Project Spectrum&lt;/a&gt;: April is for orange and yellow.

There are kinds of yellow I like, but I must admit I only own 2 yellow garments, a t-shirt and a sweater, both mustard colour!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11920391-113848230559480402?l=knittingthrough.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/feeds/113848230559480402/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11920391&amp;postID=113848230559480402' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/113848230559480402'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/113848230559480402'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/2006/04/project-spectrum.html' title='Project spectrum'/><author><name>knit_tgz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04110553863107273416</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920391.post-114392032779106751</id><published>2006-04-01T19:36:00.001Z</published><updated>2009-04-18T22:16:38.789Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Links'/><title type='text'>Coisas bonitas / Pretty things</title><content type='html'>Inspiração para fiar e tingir: &lt;a href="http://helloyarn.com/pastyarnshanddyed.htm"&gt;aqui&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://helloyarn.com/pastyarns.htm"&gt;aqui&lt;/a&gt; e &lt;a href="http://www.helloyarn.com/wallpaper.htm"&gt;aqui&lt;/a&gt;.

Sou capaz de o alterar para ter em conta a minha tensão diferente, o tamanho dos meus pés, a minha maneira de tricotar. / &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Trust myself more than the pattern. I am able to change it to accomodate my different gauge, my feet dimensions, my own knitting way.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;2)&lt;/span&gt; As meias alargam com o uso. As meias vermelhas são lindas, mas têm tendência a cair-me pelas pernas e podiam estar mais justas. Fazer as meias com "negative ease": desde que consigam passar o calcanhar, tudo bem. / &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Socks stretch with wear. My red socks are beautiful, but they have a tendency to fall down my legs and could be tighter. Knit socks with "negative ease": as long as they pass the heel, everything is fine.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;3)&lt;/span&gt; Devo ser única na espécie, mas: fazer meias "toe-up" NÃO garante que não se venha a ter falta de linha. Eu tinha 2 novelos e fiz as meias toe-up, um novelo para cada meia. Terminei a primeira meia antes do fim do primeiro novelo, e fiquei com um restinho de linha de sobra. Na segunda meia, o novelo acabou a 5 voltas do fim. Juntei-lhe a linha que sobrou do outro, e mesmo assim a segunda meia teve de ficar mais curta que a primeira (mas não se nota). / &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;I must be the only person in the world that, when knitting socks toe-up, using one ball of yarn to each sock, finds she doesn't have enough yarn! I finished my first sock before the end of the first ball, and had some leftover yarn. In the second sock, the ball of yarn finished 5 rows before the end of the sock. I had to join the leftover yarn from the other sock, and still the socks have a different leg length (I don't mind).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;4)&lt;/span&gt; Tenho de experimentar mais modelos de calcanhar e de "toe", para escolher de quais gosto mais. E tenho de arranjar DPNs de 2.5mm, urgentemente (gosto das meias com um tecido firme, mas 2mm é fino demais: demora muito tempo e faz dores no pulso!). / &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;I must try several ways to knit the heel and the toe to choose which ones I like best. And I must find 2.5mm DPNs urgently (I like firm socks, but 2mm is too thin, takes a lot of time and makes my wrists hurt!).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;5)&lt;/span&gt; Tanto gosto de meias "toe-up" como "cuff-down". Gosto de coisas diferentes em cada método. E assim posso variar. / &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;I like both toe-up and cuff-down socks. I like different things in each method. And this way I can vary a bit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;5)&lt;/span&gt;Tenho de fazer estimativas conservadoras quanto ao tamanho da meia: se sobrar linha, não faz mal, um dia faço umas meias às riscas! Tenho também de arranjar uma balança electrónica de cozinha. / &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;I must make more conservative estimates on the sock size: if there is leftover yarn, no problem, I can knit a striped pair later on! I must get an electronic kitchen scale, also.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;6)&lt;/span&gt;Adoro fazer meias! / &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;I love knitting socks!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11920391-114209984759098877?l=knittingthrough.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/feeds/114209984759098877/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11920391&amp;postID=114209984759098877' title='4 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/114209984759098877'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/114209984759098877'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/2006/03/meias-coisas-que-aprendisocks-things-i.html' title='Meias: Coisas que aprendi/Socks: Things I learned'/><author><name>knit_tgz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04110553863107273416</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920391.post-114193634133324899</id><published>2006-03-09T20:25:00.001Z</published><updated>2009-04-18T22:20:49.989Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hei-de fazer/Queued for the future'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Meias/Socks'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Links'/><title type='text'>Mais meias/ More socks</title><content type='html'>Meias que gostaria de fazer quando tiver tempo para aprender jacquard: &lt;a href="http://www.grumperina.com/knitblog/archives/2006/03/the_360.htm#more"&gt;estas maravilhosas da Grumperina&lt;/a&gt;

De facto, atingiu já o calcanhar da segunda meia, e desta vez já sabe as alterações a fazer. Foi por isso com grande surpresa que recebemos a notícia da sua desistência da competição. Mais uma vez, temos a entrevista exclusiva...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Boa tarde, TGZ. Foi com grande surpresa que a equipa portuguesa recebeu a notícia da sua desistência. Quer explicar-nos o que sucedeu?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(TGZ): Boa tarde. De facto, a segunda meia vai em bom andamento, o calcanhar vai a mais de meio e tudo corre bem. Porém, tenho de abandonar a competição hoje porque vou visitar a família e só volto na Segunda-feira, e não seria justo estar com eles sem lhes dar atenção para acabar a segunda meia a tempo. Além disso, lá não tenho acesso ao meu blogue e não posso pôr aqui fotografias. Portanto, parece-me mais justo desistir da competição agora.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Jornalista): Mas isso não fará com que nunca mais acabe a segunda meia?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(TGZ): Não. Já defini para mim mesma que o desafio permanece: quando chegar na Segunda-feira, o tempo recomeça a contar para mim como se fosse Sexta à noite. E terei portanto de acabar a segunda meia até Quarta de manhã. Se o fizer, considerarei que cumpri o desafio. Não sei se os juízes aceitarão esta variante da competição, mas mesmo que fique desqualificada das medalhas de ouro, sentirei que cumpri o meu dever e que venci o desafio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Jornalista): O que aprendeu nesta competição?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(TGZ): Aprendi que tenho mais tempo e mais capacidade de tricotar do que julgava. Aprendi que gosto de fazer meias com agulhas mais grossas do que de 2mm (estou mesmo a precisar de umas DPNs de 2,25mm, ou 2,5mm ou 2,75mm, outras de 3mm e talvez mais grossas), embora eu vá terminar as Jaywalkers em agulha fina. Mas vou procurar ter sempre umas meias simples em andamento como projecto para trazer na carteira. Preciso de arranjar mais agulhas linha de meias! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Boa sorte aos que permanecem na competição, e até Segunda!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(hoje não tirei fotos, a máquina está sem pilhas)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;----&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;"(Journalist): With the Knitting Olympics almost in the end, the knitlete TGZ has achieved a good speed and everything seems ready to complete her socks on Sunday. In fact, she is knitting the heel of the second sock, and this time the pattern is already corrected to fit her foot. So, it was a great surprise and shock to the Portuguese team when she announced she was leaving the competition today. Once again, we have an exclusive interview...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good afternoon, TGZ. It was with great surprise that the Portuguese team received the news of your leaving the competition. Could you explain what happened?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(TGZ): Good afternoon. It's true: the second sock is going fine, the heel is more than half done and everything is going all right. But I have to leave the competition today because I am going to visit family and I only come back on Monday, and it wouldn't be fair to them if I stood with them without paying attention just to finish the second sock in time. Besides, I cannot acess my blog over there so I cannot post photos here. So, it seemed better to give up the competition now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Journalist): Isn't that going to lead you to never finish your second sock?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(TGZ): No. I defined to myself that the challenge remains: when I come back on Monday, time starts counting again as if it were Friday night. So, I will have to finish my socks until Wednesday morning. If I do that, I will consider I fulfilled my challenge. I don't know if the judges will accept this variant of the competition, but even if I am disqualified from the gold medals, I will feel I have completed the challenge and won!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Journalist): What have you learned in this competition?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(TGZ): I learned I have more time and more ability to knit than I thought I did. I learned that I love to knit sock with thicker DPNs (I really need to buy more sets of DPNs: 2.25mm, 2.5mm, 2.75mm, another one of 3mm and maybe thicker!), but I will still finish my Jaywalkers on fine needles. From now on, I will try to have always some simple socks in the needles as a project to carry with me on my handbag. I need to buy sock yarn and needles!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good luck to the ones who are still on competition, and see you on Monday!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Today there are no photos, the camera is without batteries)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11920391-114079511427075490?l=knittingthrough.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/feeds/114079511427075490/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11920391&amp;postID=114079511427075490' title='2 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/114079511427075490'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/114079511427075490'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/2006/02/olympic-newsflash-5.html' title='Olympic Newsflash 5'/><author><name>knit_tgz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04110553863107273416</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920391.post-114063634455967748</id><published>2006-02-22T19:24:00.002Z</published><updated>2009-04-18T22:23:31.956Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Knitting Olympics'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Meias/Socks'/><title type='text'>Progress, no comment</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2734/986/1600/meias_verm_c2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2734/986/320/meias_verm_c2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11920391-114063634455967748?l=knittingthrough.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/feeds/114063634455967748/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11920391&amp;postID=114063634455967748' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/114063634455967748'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11920391/posts/default/114063634455967748'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://knittingthrough.blogspot.com/2006/02/progress-no-comment.html' title='Progress, no comment'/><author><name>knit_tgz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04110553863107273416</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920391.post-114055053376806711</id><published>2006-02-21T19:33:00.001Z</published><updated>2009-04-18T22:26:34.985Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fiação/Spinning'/><title type='text'>A minha primeira linha/My first yarn</title><content type='html'>Fiada por mim.

Contudo, a sua confiança em terminar o desafio no prazo ficou bastante abalada. Corre o boato que isso a levou a desaparecer do contacto de outras pessoas e a encerrar-se como uma eremita. Conseguimos uma entrevista exclusiva com ela. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Boa tarde. Foi uma grande recuperação, nos últimos dias.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(TGZ) Sim, realmente foi. A princípio fiquei muito desanimada, quando gastei uma noite inteira a desfazer o que tinha feito e apanhar as malhas, mas agora já estou quase a acabar a primeira meia. Contudo, tenho receio de que o atraso que isto me provocou seja irremediável. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Jornalista) O que tem a dizer sobre os boatos de que se encerrou como uma eremita e recusa o contacto com outras pessoas?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(TGZ) Nego, nego-os completamente. Já fui ao cinema na semana passada, e até fui a um encontro de tricotadeiras onde não fiz nada nestas meias, apenas fiei.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Jornalista) Mas isso não será contrário ao espírito olímpico?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(TGZ) Não, pelo contrário. Se uma colega fiandeira com mais experiência se dispôs a ensinar-me a fazer fio com 2 cabos, eu, olimpicamente, aproveitei a oportunidade de aprendizagem. E descansei os pulsos! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Jornalista) Quer deixar alguma mensagem aos nossos leitores?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(TGZ) Sim, quero pedir-lhes que apoiem mais duas atletas portuguesas desta competição de malha: a &lt;a href="http://ardegraca.blogspot.com/"&gt;Ana&lt;/a&gt; e a &lt;a href="http://softhoughts.blogspot.com/"&gt;Wool&lt;/a&gt; (também &lt;a href="http://softhought.blogspot.com/"&gt;aqui&lt;/a&gt;)"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fotos das meias vermelhas e da minha fiação depois da versão inglesa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;"(Journalist) After the unfortunate heel event, the youg Portuguese knitllete seems to be recovering the several days she lost with this. Still, her confidence in finishing the challenge in time is going down. Rumor has it that she disappeared from other person's contact and stays at home like a hermit. We managed to get an exclusive interview.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good afternoon. Great recovery, in the last few days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(TGZ) Yes, it really was. In the beginning I was very upset, when I spent a whole night frogging what I had knit and putting stitches back in the needles, but now I am almost fisishing my first sock. Still, I am afraid I am already too late.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Journalist) There are rumors that you became a hermit and refuse the contact with other people. What do you have to say?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(TGZ) I deny those rumors. I went to the cinema last week, and even to a knitter's meeting where I didn't knit on those socks at all, I just spinned a lot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Journalist) Isn't that contrary to the Olympic spirit?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(TGZ) No, quite the contrary. If a fellow spinner with more experience nicely wanted to teach me how to make 2-ply, I, olympically, learned. And rested my wrists!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Journalist) Do you have something to say to our readers?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(TGZ) Yes, I want to ask them to support two other Portuguese knitletes &lt;a href="http://ardegraca.blogspot.com/"&gt;Ana&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://softhoughts.blogspot.com/"&gt;Wool&lt;/a&gt; (also&lt;a href="http://softhought.blogspot.com/"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;)"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2734/986/1600/encontro_18Fev_4g.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2734/986/320/encontro_18Fev_4g.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2734/986/1600/encontro_18Fev_5g.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2734/986/320/encontro_18Fev_5g.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Sábado, no encontro de tricotadeiras/Saturday, at the knitter's meeting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2734/986/1600/fio_meu6.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2734/986/320/fio_meu6.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;O fio terminado (55 metros).
