Hiya! After my two prior attempts to make something decent with the punch needle, here it comes my first rug!

World’s Best Needles

Hi there, today I want to share with you a special gift I received this Christmas from my favorite neighbors: 3 packets of Tulip Hiroshima needles: said to be “the best needles in the World”. 😮

(This is not a paid post or anything, by the way, I’m just excited to show them, that’s all).

Punch needle: a first try

Needle felting UP house

My friend Sonia just became a mom and I just couldn’t let pass the opportunity to craft something to welcome little baby Eric to the world.

Here’s my first try at needle felting. What do you think?

Birthday Star Chart

My dear cousin just became a mother and we couldn’t be happier. One of the things I made to welcome this new addition to the family is this star chart I want to show you today.

It’s pretty similar to something I did some time ago (in a former life) but more… astronomically accurate in a way.

4 needles knitted mittens

The title of this post sounds like a tongue twister:
“I have one knitted mitten knitted with four knitting needles. If I hadn’t knitted the mitten with four knitting needles, it won’t be my four needles knitted mitten.”

Phew! I had a hard time even writing that! 🙂

Yesterday I went to a workshop in one of my favorite shops here in Barcelona: Nido de abeja. The class was about knitting with double point needles. I’d never knitted in the round with that kind of needles so I had to try.

This was the result after 4 hours…

I know, I know. It’s not the best mitten in the world… but providing it was my first experience with that kind of knitting I think it’s not that bad. Yeah… the thumb is a little shorter… because it was lunch time and I wanted to finish it so I skipped some rows… ^_^U

Anyway, I enjoyed the process very much and I spent a lovely morning with very nice people.

Knitting needles roll case tutorial

This is a Christmas present I’ve made for my mom. She has a few knitting needles but she kept them in a paper bag, so I thought a case could be something useful and nice.

You could also make something similar to store crochet hooks just by making it smaller. Continue reading for more pictures and a little tutorial.
