Knitting togheter



I learn to knit when I was a kid, but it wasn't until I become a mom that it turns in such a great interest and delight.

In the trip some friends have join and I have teach them what I know and we have enjoy coffee-tea afternoons knitting.

I have learn a lot from the internet, from blogs, Ravelry (of course), and Molly's Sketchbook from Purl Bee. I know more knitting termilogy in English than in Spanish, and I have notice that there is lees information in our language.

So in an effort to encourage new knitters who don't read in English I founded a little knitting group called Tejiendo Juntos, Knitting toghether.
*In Spanish we use the same word for knitting and crocheting.

I ask which project they wanted to start with, and a wool diaper cover was chosen (maybe some of my readers are moms? haha), so we followed the Ottobre pattern

So it's very informal, I'm a begginer and left handed, but we are having fun.

You can see the page here, the Ravelry group here, and some of the participant posts here and here.

Fast food :: Fast party

Tejido

I really like to have the two versions of my blog, in Spanish and English, but it's taking me forever to write in both languages, so I decided to try something different and make audio posts in English, my English is not excellent (written or spoken), but this way it's easier, so let me know if you like it, thanks.

Costa Rican Seasons

In this part of the world the seasons are very different from the north hemisphere ones.


Mainly we have rainy and not rainy. The first will called Summer and goes from December to May, and the second it's Winter, from May to December. It rains a lot, it may start at 11am, or at 8am, like today and it won't stop completely during the whole day.

It's a little bit difficult to live it, but all that water it's what gives this country lots of flora, fauna and helps in producing lots of food, and also there is enough water for every one all year.

Usually rain will start after the Easter's full moon, it was delay a couple of weeks this years, but today is definitely here.

Art exhibition

La merienda

Itzcóatl attends an art class, its beautiful and enriches him, he loves it, they have a snack in the middle of the class that he loves particulary.

Exposición de arte

Each week they produce some artwork, each has its history, and I love all of them and treasure them, but sometimes I have no where or how exhibit or at least keep them, especially those that are sculptural.


Exposición de arte

I finally found a solution for them, exposing the hinge of the exterior window, even when they are outside of the house, no one will take them, and is a pleasure watching them since we arrived and as we  enter our home, it's like a welcome.
