HUNTED

House of Night 05

PC Cast and Kristin Cast

The good news: Zoey's friends have her back again and Stevie Rae and the red fledglings aren't Neferet's secrets any longer. The bad news: Ancient evil with the face of an angel has been let loose - that and various other nasties (whose faces aren't so angelic). Grandma Redbird is in trouble. Heath is in trouble. The House of Night is in trouble. Okay, let's face it - Zoey's whole world is in trouble! But when the trouble comes from a being who appears to be beauty personified, will the world believe it? Especially when only a teenager and a group of misfits are the only ones who really understand the danger he brings. Will Zoey have the strength and wisdom to reveal the truth? Especially when, in the House of Night, the truth is often hard to come by.

Minha primeira meia! / My first sock!

Estou tão feliz!!!

Eu terminei ontem de noite meu primeiro pé de meia.

Sei que não é a meia mais bonita do mundo, mas pra mim é, porque estou há 2 anos (desde que comecei a fazer tricot e crochet) tentando aprender a fazer meias.

Convenhamos trabalhar com 4 ou 5 agulhas de pontas duplas não é pra qualquer um, então resolvi aprender via outro método primeiro. Escolhi o Magic Loop, que pra mim é o mais sensato: 1 meia de cada vez com 1 agulha circular.

Usei o panfleto The Magic Loop: working around on one needle de Bev Galeskas e os vídeos tutorias da Kelley Petkun (Knitpicks - queria tanto que esse site entregasse aqui...) no Sock KAL.

Achei a parte de fazer o calcanhar e a virada (com short rows) bem fácil.

Me enrolei na parte de pegar os pontos para fazer o gusset (não sei qual a tradução), mas depois me acertei.

Não gostei muito da forma que fiz a ponta dos dedos, achei que não ficou tão confortável. Vou testar outra maneira no outro pé.

Também não gostei do ponto do cano da meia (Beaded Rib Stitch: R1: *k1, p1* / R2: knit). Ficou elástico? Ficou? Só que achei largo demais. E não achei bonito. Talvez um simples 2x2 teria ficado mais bonito. Veremos...

Mas apesar de tudo isso ela cabe perfeitamente.

Estou MUITO feliz!!!

I'm so happy!!!

I finished last night my first sock.

I know that it's not the world's most beautiful sock, but for me it is because I am trying to learn to knit one for 2 years (since I started knitting and crocheting).

Let us agree that to work with 4 or 5 double-pointed needles is not for everybody, so I decided to learn via

The pamphlet I used is the Magic Loop: working around on one needle by Bev Galeskas and I used too the Sock KAL's videos by Kelley Petkun (Knitpicks - I wish this site delivered here, but...). another method first. I chose the Magic Loop, which for me is the most sensible: one sock at a time with one circular needle. 

I found the part of making the heel and the heel turn (with short rows) really easy. You see so many people complaining about it... 

My greatest difficulty was picking up stitches to make the gusset. But eventually I got it.

I didn't like the toe shaping of this pattern. I didn't find it very comfortable. I'll try another way on the other foot.

I didn't like either the stitch pattern recommended to the leg of the sock (Beaded Rib Stitch: R1: * K1, p1 * / R2: knit). It was elastic? Yes, it was? But it became to large. And I did not find it beautiful. Perhaps a simple 2x2 would have been more to my liking. We'll see ...

But despite all that it fits perfectly. 

I am VERY happy!

Infelizmente o verão está chegando...

Detesto ficar suada, pingando de calor.

A fiação do meu apartamento é tão velha que nem posso colocar um ar condicionado (meu pai disse que vai mandar consertar... só vendo pra crer...).

Resumindo: mosquito, calor, meses dormindo mal...

Eu sei que essas receitas são paninhos pra pia ou banheiro, mas são tão bonitinhos que não tenho coragem de usar pra esse fim. Alguns até coloquei para esse uso, mas a maioria estou fazendo para substituir as toalhinhas de rosto que uso (além dos lenços de papel descartáveis) para sobreviver menos molhada no verão carioca.

Esse foi o meu primeiro trabalho fazendo tranças. Fiz pra experimentar e ficou muito cute, modéstia a parte. Só não gosto da cor desse fio (verde água), acho muito sem graça, nem lembro porque comprei...

Unfortunately the summer is coming ...
I hate getting sweaty, dripping heat.
The wiring of my apartment is so old that I cannot put an air conditioner (my father said that he will see that is fixed this year ... I have to see it to believe it ...).
In short: mosquitoes, heat, months sleeping badly ...
I know these patterns are dishcloths or washcloths, but they are so cute that I don't have the courage to use for this purpose. Some I even put to this use, but mostly I'm doing as a substitute for hand towels that I use (other than disposable paper towels) to keep me surviving under the scorching summer in Rio de Janeiro.
I was trying for the first time to make cables. I just didn't like color of yarn. I find it very boring. I do not remember why I bought it...

My Attic24 Rainbow Crochet Bag is finished... So beautiful...

Olá!

Minha bolsa arco-íris está pronta...

Caramba, ficou muuuuito linda!

Recebi muitos elogios com ela.

Hello insistiu que queria uma flor... Ficou puxando meu caderno onde estavam coladas as instruções e a foto da flor e apontando pra ela... 1 ano e 2  meses e já sabe o que quer... Pena que levei quase uns dez minutos pra entender o que ela queria. Hahahaha!!! Infelizmente esqueci de tirar uma foto legal com ela fazendo carinho na flor-broche que ela insistiu que queria... Mas nessa dá pra ver ela com a flor na blusa...

Fiz em fio duplo de Anne com ag. 3mm pra ficar bem firme e as flores/folhas fiz com fio duplo de Anne mas com agulha 4mm, já que não havia necessidade de ficar tão firme. Comecei fazendo broches e pregando na bolsa, costurando as folhas e flores. Me irritou então resolvi colar tudo com cola quente. Super fácil e rápido e super firme!!!

Hi! My rainbow bag is finished...

It turned out sooo beautiful!!!

I received many compliments on it.

Hello insisted that she wanted a flower ... She was pulling my notebook where the instructions and photos of the flowers were glued and pointing to her ... 1 year and 2 months doesn't talk but already knows what she wants ... Too bad it took me nearly ten minutes to understand what she wanted. Hahahaha! Unfortunately I forgot to take better pictures with her caressing the flower-brooch she insisted she wanted ... But in that one you can see the flower in her blouse... 

I used double threads of Anne with ag. 3mm to create a strong fabric in the bag, but with the flowers and leaves I used a 4mm crochet needle. There was no need to be so strong. I started making brooches and preaching in the bag, sewing the leaves and flowers. It irritated me so that I decided to paste it with hot glue. Super easy, super fast and super strong!

House of Night 03

PC Cast and Kristin Cast

Dark forces are at work at the House of Night and fledgling vampyre Zoey Redbird's adventures at the school take a mysterious turn. Those who appear to be friends are turning out to be enemies. And oddly enough, sworn enemies are also turning into friends. So begins the gripping third installment of this “highly addictive series” (Romantic Times), in which Zoey's mettle will be tested like never before. Her best friend, Stevie Rae, is undead and struggling to maintain a grip on her humanity. Zoey doesn't have a clue how to help her, but she does know that anything she and Stevie Rae discover must be kept secret from everyone else at the House of Night, where trust has become a rare commodity. Speaking of rare: Zoey finds herself in the very unexpected and rare position of having three boyfriends. Mix a little bloodlust into the equation and the situation has the potential to spell social disaster. Just when it seems things couldn't get any tougher, vampyres start turning up dead. Really dead. It looks like the People of Faith, and Zoey's horrid step-father in particular, are tired of living side-by-side with vampyres. But, as Zoey and her friends so often find out, how things appear rarely reflects the truth…

BETRAYED

House of the Night 02

PC Cast and Kristin Night

Fledgling vampyre Zoey Redbird has managed to settle in at the House of Night. She’s come to terms with the vast powers the vampyre goddess, Nyx, has given her, and is getting a handle on being the new Leader of the Dark Daughters. Best of all, Zoey finally feels like she belongs--like she really fits in. She actually has a boyfriend…or two. Then the unthinkable happens: Human teenagers are being killed, and all the evidence points to the House of Night. While danger stalks the humans from Zoey’s old life, she begins to realize that the very powers that make her so unique might also threaten those she loves. Then, when she needs her new friends the most, death strikes the House of Night, and Zoey must find the courage to face a betrayal that could break her heart, her soul, and jeopardize the very fabric of her world.

BEYOND THE HIGHLAND MIST
Highlander 01
Karen Marie Moning

Narrated by Phil Gigante

Unabridged 2007
[Beyond the Highland Mist (1999)]

64k

Publishers Weekly

Moning offers the promise of a terrific plotline in her debut romance: a troubled young woman, Adrienne is transported from the 20th century to 16th-century Scotland by an evil jester to take revenge on a Scottish laird. The author has the right characters: there's the heroine who doesn't trust beautiful men and a handsome hero cursed to love a woman who will not return his love. Add gypsies and Scottish mysticism, against the backdrop of the stark beauty of the Highlands, and you've got an intriguing story. The lovers endure quite a bit of torment in order to find happiness, a downer that even Moning's doses of humor can't always leaven. Unfortunately, Moning doesn't fully deliver: she too often relies on transparent plot devices, and while her falconry imagery is both poignant and sensual, it will remind readers of Elizabeth Lowell's Untamed.

MARKED

House of Night 01

PC Cast and Kristin Cast

In 16-year-old Zoey Redbird's world, vampyres not only exist but are also tolerated by humans. Those whom the creatures "mark" as special enter the House of Night school where they will either become vampyres themselves, or, if their body rejects the change, die. To Zoey, being marked is truly a blessing, though she's scared at first. She has never fit into the human world and has always felt she is destined for something else. Her grandmother, a descendant of the Cherokee, has always supported her emotionally, and it is she who takes the girl to her new school. But even there the teen stands apart from the others. Her mark from the Goddess Nyx is a special one, showing that her powers are very strong for one so young. At the House of Night, Zoey finds true friendship, loyalty, and romance as well as mistrust and deception. She realizes that all is not right in the vampyre world and that the problems she thought she left behind exist there as well. Readers will identify with many of the characters, especially the protagonist. The story moves quickly (a little too quickly at the end) and purposely leaves many unresolved issues. A good choice for those libraries serving fans of the occult, but be aware that the book contains some suggestive language and sex.

Cable Sampler Scarf

Estou aprendendo "cables" ou tranças - acho que seria essa a tradução. Então resolvi fazer um cachecol com 7 exemplos de cables cuja receita faz parte do livro Summer in Blossom Street da Debbie Macomber.

*

I'm learning to do cables. I saw some videos and decided to do the Cable Sampler Scarf from Summer in Blossom Street by Debbie Macomber. 

Alguns estou gostando de fazer, outros não, todos são fáceis. O negócio é você não se perder em algumas partes. Prestar atenção. Mas é um trabalho que fica super bonito e diferente e realmente é muito mais fácil do que eu imaginava. Desde que comecei a tricotar, há uns 2 anos, eu queria aprender a fazer duas coisas: lace e cables. Estou fazendo o Kiri Shawl para tentar aprender o lace (ou renda?), tá caminhando, mas a passos lentos, mas cables é infinitamente mais fácil, apesar de ter que usar outra agulha.

*

Some of the cables are really beautiful, some I didn't like. But all are easy. You only have to pay attention to the repeats. I'm learning to do lace to. I'm knitting the Kiri Shawl, but is going really slow. Cables are so much more easy to do...

Starfish Dishcloth

Ontem a noite terminei minha "Starfish Dishcloth" (starfish = estrela-do-mar) em linha Anne mesclada em cores de Natal e prata.

Como fiz em agulhas retas 3.0mm e com apenas 1 fio da linha ficou quase em tamanho de um porta-copos. Estou pensando em fazer vários nesse mesmo tamanho e um usando fio duplo e agulhas 4.5mm para servir como porta-travessa.

Como ele é macio, outra opção seria usá-lo como guardanapo no Natal. Pensando, pensando... Vamos ver..

Essa semana vou ver se eu compro a linha Anne da mesma cor só que com fio dourado para ver como fica o mesmo trabalho, apesar de eu ter certeza que vou continuar preferindo a com detalhes prateados.

Mine Till Midnight
(The first book in the Hathaways series)
(2007)
A novel by
Lisa Kleypas

Their lives defy convention.

When an unexpected inheritance elevates her family to the ranks of the aristocracy, Amelia Hathaway discovers that tending to her younger sisters and wayward brother was easy compared to navigating the intricacies of the ton. Even more challenging: the attraction she feels for the tall, dark, and dangerously handsome Cam Rohan.

Their desire consumes them both...

Wealthy beyond most men's dreams, Cam has tired of society's petty restrictions and longs to return to his "uncivilized" Gypsy roots. When the delectable Amelia appeals to him for help, he intends to offer only friendship?but intentions are no match for the desire that blindsides them both. But can a man who spurns tradition be tempted into that most time-honored arrangement: marriage? Life in London society is about to get a whole lot hotter....

From Publishers Weekly
Historical romance master Kleypas reintroduces Cam Rohan, the wealthy half-Gypsy first seen in 2006's Devil in Winter, in her latest page-turning Victorian. Rohan, manager of a London gentleman's club, decides to do a favor for the distraught Amelia Hathaway, who is scouring brothels in search of her wastrel brother, Leo. Rohan, weary of his usual diet of beautiful-but-boring lovers, is bemused by and attracted to Amelia, a staid and proper spinster, and so he sets about making a presence of himself at the ramshackle Hathaway estate, sowing sexual tension as he does. As the standoffish relationship between Rohan and Amelia evolves into romance, the reappearance of Amelia's former suitor throws an intriguing wrench in the works. The author's sensitivity to the prejudice endured by the Roma (Gypsies) adds a measure of grim reality that is creatively offset by Rohan's discussion of Roma beliefs and superstitions. Kleypas's effortless style makes for another sexy exploration of 19th-century passion and peccadilloes, riveting from start to finish.

Bem Vindo! Ripple Blanket

Bem vindo!

Aqui eu registrarei minha jornada no mundo do artesanato, em especial no tricô e no crochê. 

Alguns dos posts colocarei em português (Brasil) e em inglês. Porém, como não tenho costume de escrever em inglês (eu leio muito e ouço mais ainda - AMO AUDIOBOOKS!!!) preparem-se para verem muitos erros, até eu me acostumar.

Serão bem vindas as correções nos comentários.

Espero que gostem!

I

Welcome!

Here I will register my way into the craft world. Particularly in knitting and crochet.

I'll try to write some of the posts both in portuguese (Brazil) and in english. But as I'm not used to write in english (I read a lot and listen many times more - I love audiobooks!!!) be prepared to see many errors.

I welcome corrections and suggestions in the comments.

I hope you'll like it!

I

Eu tinha várias linhas Anne, não sabia o que fazer com elas. 

Resolvi fazer um Rainbow Ripple Blanket que vi no blog da Lucy - Attic24.

Comecei pensando em fazer um pequeno, pra bebê. Mudei logo de idéia: achei tão lindo - queria um pra mim.

Comecei, com fio duplo de Anne, mas como não gostei da disposição das cores iniciais (são as 4 primeiras na foto: pink, rosa, amarelo claro e azul claro). Então resolvi entrar na internet e procurar a ordem das cores do arco-íris. Continuei seguindo mais ou menos a ordem das cores do arco-íris. Está ficando lindo!  

Mas a pergunta é: no que eu estava pensando??? Rsrsrs.

Fio duplo de Anne????

Claro que meu estoque de linhas sumiu como que por mágica e tive que comprar mais. Cada vez que vou na loja gasto quase uns R$50,00 só de Anne (cada uma numa média de R$6,70 a cor sólida).

Fiz uma conta básica e vou gastar em média uns R$500,00 pra fazer essa colcha. 

Vai valer a pena? Com certeza! Está ficando linda. Mas meu bolso está sofrendo, principalmente porque estou desempregada (odeio essa palavra, vcs não? ;-) ).

Outro problema é que a colcha está ficando muito pesada. O que é bom saber, porque numa próxima vez irei procurar outro tipo de fio para trabalhar com colchas. Talvez o Fofura Kids (fiz um Baby Granny Blanket com ele e ficou super leve e maleável. Ficou lindo! Mostrarei no próximo post.), ou outro com uma seleção de cores mais ampla.

I

I had big stash of Anne by Circulo and I did not know what to do with them.

I decided to make the Ripple Blanket I saw in Lucy's blog - Attic24.

I started thinking about doing a baby blanket but I changed my mind as soon as I saw how beautiful my blanket was becoming - I wanted one for me.  

I started, but as I did not like the initial array of colors (the first 4 are in the picture: magenta, pink, yellow and light blue), I went looking in the internet for the order of the colors of the rainbow. Then I continued more or less following the order that I found. It's getting really pretty!

But the question is: what was I thinking?? LOL.

Double thread??

Of course, my stash disappeared as if by magic and I had to buy more. Every time I go in the store I spent nearly R$50,00 (each ball an average of R$6,70).

I will spend an average of R$500,00 to do this blanket.

Is it worth it? Absolutely! It's getting pretty. But my pocket is suffering, mainly because I'm unemployed (hate that word, don't you? ;-) ).

Another problem is that the blanket is getting too heavy. Well, it's a experiment so it is good that I'm doing it this way because the next time I will look for another type of yarn better suited to make blankets.
