Created by the Italian yarn arts group Sul filo dell'arte, I've been watching this breathtaking project unfold for awhile now and although I'm not entirely sure where it's headed or if it's complete - ie, is the plan to recreate the full piece in yarn? - there is enough completed that I'd like to share.
There’s quite a lot of technical language that you encounter when delving into the world of spinning instructions, and you’ll find yourself in an especially confusing place if you’…

Принесено лентой из Вконтакта. Но, как подсказывают старшие товарищи, это картинка из книжки "Очумелые ручки" А. Бахметьева и Т. Кизякова. :)
I really like this one, it's simple even though I used 3 different colors. I've started another one with similar colors, but added a fourth color, green, to better match the clock. I made this little Christmas coiled basket for a friend and of course filled it with chocolate goodies. I've also started another one of these, with a bit more design. Will also try my luck in adding a few beads to this. Hopefully it will turn out all right.
My sample was knit with some of my incredibly soft, smooth, fluffy must-have Silk Camel yarn on US Size 6 Nova Cubics. This yarn is my ...

Despite years of hints to my husband, I still don’t own a yarn swift and winder, so I thought I’d share my favorite technique for how to wind a yarn ball by hand! All you need is an empty paper towel roll, scissors, and a lovely skein of yarn. I’m winding this buttery soft Mamacha...Read the Post

Start with 2 pounds lean ground beef and one package of beef kielbasa sausage Brown in a cast iton skillet (I use my Great Grandmother's pan) While the meat is browning, cut up two yellow onions,2 green peppers, 2 red peppers )grown in the USA preferably-unless you live in another fine country with good agriculture rules),5 cloves garlic cut fine, 5 ribs of celery (I like using the middle ones), Take cooked meat and put in large crock pot or large simmering pan, Put vegies in cast iron pan and saute, then add to meat along with the tomatoes -sometimes I add frozen corn though I didn't this time Add one can of mild chilies for flavor and as many jalapeno's as your family can take-I only used a tablespoon of them cut finely-we are wimps Add two cans (not the little one shown-bigger)of tomato sauce, two cans of Italian chopped tomatoes, and two cans of the petite cut tomatoes Vegies, don't they look pretty? And do they ever add flavor Ok, I add alot of stuff for flavor- I usually add about 2 teaspoons of each except the pepper. I only shake out a nice amount and with the beau monde I can usually use more-I just cook like my Grandma and add until it tastes good=then add 3 beef bouillion cubes and 2 cups of hot water-we don't drink here at the house but if I had leftover red wine, a little would go in also Worchestershire sauce is delicious in every kind of stew or chili-a must! And a good healthy pour of about 3 tablespoons or so of honey-it makes a huge difference! I also threw in a bit of tabasco but kept it light for my family. I like what it does to chili-read on and see what my husband said. After all of this is stirred up, then add these beans and a package of chili mix. It sounds like alot but it is well worth it! Now, when I dish up the chili, I serve it with crushed tortilla chips, olives cut up, sour cream (low fat), sharp cheddar cheese and cut up avacado. You can put the leftovers on baked potatoes and it is like a whole other meal and you can share with your friends, neighbors or family. I am taking half of this to Montana to share with my Aunt and my cousin along with cornbread and maybe cider. Bon Appetite!My husband said to tell you it was delicious but he liked the sour cream because it cut the heat-if you love heat then add some tabasco to your own dish of chili VEGETARIAN? I make a good soup style chili without meat that is delicious and just right if you don't eat meat. I don't eat much of it and my daughter works for an organic healthfood store. I make it like this and instead of meat, I add cut up red potatoes, a small head of cabbage shredded and cut up carrots. I happen to love turnips in there as well but not everyone loves turnips. It is just as good and fits the bill if beef isn't your thing. :0) Winning Fabric- if you did not read my posting about God's amazing design, please do and if you comment you will be in the drawing for fabric-I am choosing 6 names out of a hat or someone here is.......we do this very fair.

I'm knitting another Baktus, this time with a little lace. The yarn is from Fiberphile, and it's just plain gorgeous. I'm loving my new Baktus as much as I love my first one!
In today's culture of disposable fashion, the simple art of basic darning and mending has been all but forgotten.
