It’s already over
The lion’s share of my vacation has already passed by. But a glorious vacation it was! My goddaughter’s sleepover and planned visit to an amusement park was a rounding success. Definitely worth repeating! Then followed the travelling portion of my vacation. My parents were staying with the caravan in Saint Rémy de Provence for a couple of weeks. Since I…

Sport and salads
Lately I’ve been eating a lot of salads. This is due to the fact that I no longer lunch in our cafetaria at work every day. I’ve been bringing my own lunches, which are mostly salads. Much healthier than the dishes served in the canteen, which are often greasy and salty. The reason why I no longer go for lunch…

Noses and needles
If I had bothered to look further than the length of my nose, I would have been able to answer my own question about Catania from my previous post. Can you remember this dress from last year? Well, I crocheted this with exactly 6 skeins of Catania cotton and the end result wasn’t too heavy for my then 4-year-old goddaughter,…

Summer yarn question
Good morning all! Have a nice Pentecostal Monday ^_^ In reaction to my previous post, Myriam asked me if Catania cotton is well suited to make summery clothes with. I had always assumed it is. It can’t only be meant for amigurumi, right? But due to another reaction, by Marianne, I’m starting to have doubts. Marianne asked if clothing made…

Why I couldn’t control myself this time
In my previous post I already mentioned that I had a shopping spree in a yarn shop. This was triggered by a single pattern that had been on my mind for a while now. Until last Thursday I had been able to control myself, but then I saw some other patterns that really made my fingers itch. And then, yes,…

The ever growing list and the yarn trap
I have a lot of yarn. A whole lot of yarn. According to my stash on Ravelry I have 84719 meters lying around the house. That’s about 33 kilos. Oh dear, that’s really a lot! And still, still I never have what I need. You’re probably familiar with this issue? I have the obnoxious habbit of using free hours by…

Charami is bilingual!
It took a while to set it up, but Charami.com is now officially bilingual, making english.charami.com obsolete! Thanks to a super useful plugin, I can now easily write posts in two languages, while keeping the languages completely separated visually, but without the hassle of having to maintain two separate blogs. Once you have chosen the language you want to see…

Sorry!
Some of you know that in order to see my posts in English, you need to head over to this site . I have been neglecting this site for a while however, because I found it a bit tedious to maintain two separate website. Recently however I discovered a plugin which would allow me to make this site multilingual, without…

So a couple of blog posts are on their way 🙂 In the picture above you can already see how I wrapped all my presents, with the exception from the present wrapped in the shop…
