The hat

Yesterday I promised posting the hat I was making and here it is. It didn't come out exactly like I wanted but I think is not bad for my first attempt in knitting.

I'm really excited for learning how to make accessories in crochet and I already have an order: Ramon asked me to make a hat for him with one condition, he has to choose the color of the string... no problem!

Crochet...ing?

Can you believe these are my hands knitting. That's right, I have been learning how to Crochet, something I never thought possible but I saw my mother in law knitting a sweater for Ella and that kind of started my engine. I thought I could make accessories I love, things like scarves and hats. Right now I'm making a hat and is almost finished. I will definitely show you the results as soon as I'm done.

My first test. The white hat. (Photo courtesy of my little helper).

At first it was a little hard for me I was really insecure about it and thought I couldn't do it, but then I got the "hook of it"... Got it? The hook of it! Anyways, stay tuned to see how that hat turns out.

We're back

We had been quite busy these days but now we're back! I wanted to make a visual post today but I already started writing. Here are some images of what has been happening these last days.

We have been spending great family time playing board games and enjoying our Christmas presents. Ella received many great gifts, among them a piano and a dream catcher. My Santa, who is actually Ramon, got me for Christmas our initials in aluminium (R. E. C). I just love them! I also did a deep cleaning in the house and prepared everything for our new year's eve guests. Got some nice flowers and prepared some of the meals for that night. We had a great dinner with friends and family.
