Christmas Noel Collar

My first year of participating in the Scheepjes Christmas Blog Hop. This means that every day, for 12 days, a member of the Scheepjes Bloggers makes a Christmas inspired pattern. You can get this pattern for free. Yesterday was the turn of Kirsten She made an asesome Christmas crosstitch mug cozy and tomorrow it's Maria's turn.

Mijn eerste jaar dat ik mee doe aan de Scheepjes Kerstmis Blog Hop. Deze Blog Hop houd in dat elke dag, 12 dagen lang, iemand van de Scheepjes Bloggers, een Kerstmis geinspireerd patroon maakt. Dit patroontje is gratis. Gisteren was het de beurt van Kirsten met haar geweldige Kerstmis koffie kop warmer en morgen is het de beurt van Maria.

Ella Scarf

It's a fine striped scarf, as you can expect from me. This yarn is such a joy to work with. It is soft and colors combine beautifully. The pattern of the scarf is pretty easy, but it is advisable to make a sample of a different yarn. The mohair is in fact not so easy to rip.

Het is een fijne gestreepte sjaal geworden, zoals te verwachten is van mij. Dit garen werkt zo fijn. Het is heerlijk zacht en de kleuren zijn prachtig te combineren. Het patroontje van de shawl is vrij eenvoudig, maar het is toch aan te raden om een proefje te maken van een ander garen. de mohair is namelijk niet zo eenvoudig uit te trekken. 

For this scarf you need / Je bent voor deze shawl nodig; 

4 skeins / bolletjes Mohair Rhythm and 4 skeins / bolletjes of Alpaca Rhythm;

Foxtrot
Hip Hop
Robotic
Quickstep

I let this know ahead, so you can choose the colors you like for this scarf. Because next week the pattern will be here and you can start right away. Maybe a Christmas gift for someone?

Ik laat dit vast weten, zodat je vast kunt kiezen met welke kleuren jij deze sjaal wilt maken. Want volgende week staat hier het patroon en kun je lekker aan de slag. Misschien nog een Kerst kadootje voor iemand?

 

New project

I'm going to start a new project and I'm going to use this beautiful new yarn from Scheepjes. It comes in 2 variations. Alpaca Rhythm and Mohair Rhythm. There are 20 great colors and instead of a boring number, each color has a great name, like Merenque, Charlston, Hip Hop and Disco. Yes, they are all dance styles. How great is that?

Ik ga een nieuw project starten en ik daarvoor ga de prachtige nieuwe garens gebruiken van Scheepjes. Het komt in 2 varianten. Alpaca Ritme en Mohair Rhythm. Er zijn 20 prachtige kleuren en in plaats van een saaie nummer, heeft elke kleur heeft een naam, zoals Merenque, Charlston, Hip Hop en Disco. Ja, het zijn allemaal dans stijlen. Hoe gaaf is dat?

The Alpaca Rhythm is made of 80% Alpaca, 20% Extra Fine Wool

and the Mohair Rhythm: 70% Mohair, 30% Microfiber

De Alpaca Rhythm is gemaakt van 80% Alpaca en 20% Extra 

Fijne Wol en de Mohair Rhythm van 70% Mohair en 30% Microvezel

You can use them single thread or double, even combine the two together, because both have the same colors. And guess what, this yarn also comes with the very handy start label. I love that, specially with this lace yarn.

Je kunt ze enkele draads of dubbele draads gebruiken, zelfs combineren gaat geweldig, want zowel de Mohair als de Alpaca hebben dezelfde kleuren. En wat denk je, dit garen komt ook met het erg handige start label. Dat is heel prettig, zeker met dit dunne garen. 

In a few days I'm going to show a Sneak Peek of what I'm making and which colors I choose.

Over een paar dagen laat ik een Sneak Peek zien van wat ik ga maken en welke kleuren ik heb gekozen.
