My first hitchhiker !!

Hiya girlz ,

Mag ik jullie mijn allereerste Hitchhiker voorstellen ?? Ik kreeg het patroon deze mand als een lieve RAK en ben er na het maken van een proefje meteen mee aan de slag gegaan .... het patroon breit zo lekker weg dat je gewoon niet kan stoppen ... nog een puntje en dan stop ik , denk je telkens , maar je breit gewoon door !! :-)
Het is zeker niet mijn laatste !!
Het garen is van de Regia Kaffe Fasset designline , gebreid op nl 3 en de kraaltjes had ik nog liggen ...




May I introduce you my very first Hitchhiker ? I got the pattern as a sweet Rak this month and started straight away .... knitting was really fun , and for sure this won't be my last one !! Yarn is from Rega Kaffe fasset design line and beads were from my stash ...


Thanks for looking !!

X-mas cards

Hiya girlz

As you know i am not much of a x-mas type , but some cards you always have to send ... I made a few with the spin and splash and Rangers alcohol inks ... text and swirl are from StampinBack andthe x-masball was given to me so i have no idea were it comes from ....
I show just 1 card coz they are almost all the same , only some colordifferences in the background ...
Thanks for looking!!
hugs, Patti

Use your imagination

Hiya girlz ,

First of all , thank u all for the sweet comments on my socks , I really do apreciate that !!!



This card and matching ATC's i made a few days ago, but blogger didn't let me post pics......
The card is made ( like usual ) with the spin and splash and Rangers alcoholinks , stamps are from Stampers Anonymus and StampinBack ...
The backgrounds from the ATC's were laying around for a long time , i don't know anymore how I made them , stamp is from StampinBack again and i have also no idea from were are the vintagepics , cos they were a gift !

Thanks for looking again !!
hugs, Patti

Socks ready !!

Hiya Girlz ,
Finally after 2 days Blogger let me upload this pic !! This boring socks are ready for DB , just in time , coz it's getting cold and rainy here , blahhh
The yarn is Drops Fabels and I used dpns european size 2.5 The socks are looking a bit weird but the sockblockers are way too small, they are for my size :-))
Thanks for looking again !!

BTW , can someone explain me why i can not typ in color anymore ???

hugs, Patti

Knitting update !

Hiya girlz ,
Yes, almost winter , my feet are cold again ( and the rest of my body too , lol ) so time to take the knitting needles out of the dust :-))
The blue socks for DB , a real boring color , I started a long time ago .... Thanks goodness he loves handknitted socks so much now , that he doesn't care about the color anymore .. with the next socks I (!!!) can pick the color *grins*
The other socks are a pair of monkeys for myself , i think , the wool is Araucania , coming all the way from Chile ..... very weird if you know that in Chile most people are too poor to buy this kinda yarns .. if they can afford to buy yarn, they buy the most cheapest acryl ..
The sweater I started ( a hell of a job ) is from Drops delight , a wonderful colored yarn, but not relaxing to knit ... the tread is twined very loose, so half of the time , i stick with the neeldle in the yarn ..
Dunno if the weater this year will be finished :-))
Thanks for looking !!
hugs, Patti

Hiya girlz,
A bit late but this is my entry for the Paperminute challenge , they want to see something red with green but no christmas stuff ,

Moonlight cat

Hiya peeps,
A few weeks ago , i was trying to sponge a card , yes, i am still not an expert in this technique !!! I thought the card was really yuckkie and threw it somewhere on my table . A few days later a stampingfriend came for a visit , she is way better than me so i asked her for advice about the card and she told me it was good enough to finish it ... and so i did , LOL

For the background i used Vivid dye inks , the bats are from PSX , the cat from Ready to stamp, and the branches stamp is from StampinBack .

Thanks for looking,
hugs, Patti
