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…

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…

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…

Christmas 2012
Hello all! Finally I managed to dive into the pictures I made of all the Christmas present that rolled of my crochet hook this year. 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…

Going overboard
I’m already planning my Christmas presents. A bit early perhaps, but the earlier the better I think. Especially with my erratic hooking abilities 😉 Anyway, no better excuse than to splurge on yarn than planned presents. So I bought some yarn last week. A LOT of yarn… On August 30th my first order was a fact. I have a very…

If you can’t appreciate the small…
I’m really pleased with my latest purchase. Like a small child. Yes, this ordinary looking basket really made me happy. You can probably guess the purpose of this basket, no? Keeping together skeins of yarn, of course. The yarns I’m currently working with in particularly. Before, I always used plastic backs to keep together the yarn of my current project.…
