The concert was great in short and I enjoyed it a lot in my passive way, for more accurate descriptions check my friends’ blogs (Spanish only).</p>

<p><b><i>Fui con <a href="http://www.wicked-child.com/blog/archives/2008/05/radiohead_woodlands.html">Raz</a> y <a href="http://burrelio.wordpress.com/2008/05/20/radiohead-en-vivo-en-the-woodlands-tx/">unos</a> <a href="http://bknit.wordpress.com/">amigos</a> a Houston a ver uno de mis <a href="http://www.radiohead.com/">grupos favoritos</a>, el concierto estuvo en pocas palabras genial y lo disfrute mucho en mi manera pasiva, chequen los links anteriores para descripciones mas elocuentes del concierto.</b></i></p>

<p>The day after the concert we made the mandatory stop at a LYS, <a href="http://www.twistedyarnstexas.com/">Twisted Yarns</a> in Spring Texas. Beautiful store, great selection, good prices and very helpful people, you should visit if you have the chance.</p>

<p><b><i>En el viaje hicimos la parada obligatoria a una tienda local de estambre, <a href="http://www.twistedyarnstexas.com/">Twisted Yarns</a> en Spring, Texas. Hermosa tienda, muy buenos precios y gente bastante amable, ampliamente recomendada.</b></i></p>

<p>And of course I bought some souvenir yarn: Plymouth Royal Llama Linen (Yarn envy, totally <a href="http://bknit.wordpress.com/">Mache’s</a> fault for buying it first), Claudia’s Hand Painted Yarns Fingering Wt. (I’ve been dying to get my hands on this one, softest merino ever), Louet Gems, Manos del Uruguay Wool Clasica y Silk Blend (yep, in the same colorway).</p>

<p><b><i>Y por supuesto que compre estambre de recuerdo: Plymouth Royal Llama Linen (comprado por que me dio envidia de estambre del que compro <a href="http://bknit.wordpress.com/">Mache</a>), Claudia’s Hand Painted Yarns Fingering Wt., Louet Gems, Manos del Uruguay Wool Clasica y Silk Blend.</b></i></p>

<p>All those hours in the car really paid off because I’m almost done with the <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/kusha-kusha-scarf-kit-78">Kusha Kusha Scarf</a>(ravelry link), I started (and almost finished) <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/bainbridge-scarf">2 Bainbridge Scarves</a>(ravelry link) and finished the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Host-Novel-Stephenie-Meyer/dp/0316068047">new Stephenie Meyer book</a> (amaizing btw).</p>

<p><b><i>Con todas las horas de viaje le di una buena avanzada a la <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/kusha-kusha-scarf-kit-78">Kusha Kusha Scarf</a>(ravelry link), empeze 2 bufandas <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/bainbridge-scarf">Bainbridge</a>(ravelry link) y termine el <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Host-Novel-Stephenie-Meyer/dp/0316068047">nuevo libro de Stephenie Meyer</a> (genial a propósito).</b></i></p>

<p>We really had a blast. I’m learning to care for road trips with good company. More pics on my <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/15363311@N00/">Flickr</a>.</p>

<B><FONT COLOR="#ADD657">Yarn:</FONT></B> Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino (55% merino 33% microfiber 12% cashmere, 50g, 137 yds.) in red, 6 skeins.<br />
<B><FONT COLOR="#ADD657">Needles:</FONT></B> Addi Lace US 6 (4mm) 32"<br />

<B><FONT COLOR="#ADD657">Cast Off:</FONT></B> February 2<br />
<B><FONT COLOR="#ADD657">Mods:</FONT></B> None except a few unintentional errors in the lace pattern and the exchange for a thicker yarn.</p>

<p>I made this shawl for my mom's birthday, I choose this particular pattern because it has lots of stockinette stitch and she likes warmer shawls. I very pleased to say that she loved it, even if it was a couple of days late.</p>

<p><b><i>Ninguno excepto algunos errorcillos en el calado y usar estambre mas grueso.</b></i></p>

<p><b><i>Hice este shawl para el cumpleaños de mi mamá y escogí este patrón porque mi mama es friolenta y como este tiene mucho derecho y poco calado me pareció ideal. A mi mami le encantó y aunque se lo termine un poco tarde, lo pudo usar unas cuantas veces antes del calor.</b></i></p>

<B><FONT COLOR="#ADD657">Cast Off:</FONT></B> February 26<br />
<B><FONT COLOR="#ADD657">Mods:</FONT></B> I made lots of mods because I wanted longer sleeves and smaller back. I CO for the smallest size with US 9 needles, worked rib for 3” and continued on lace pattern till 9 1/2 inch. Switched to US 10 and continued on lace pattern till 12 1/2 in. Switched to US 10 1/2 and continued to 33 1/2.  </p>

<p>I love this one and after seeing <a href="http://craftoholic.blogspot.com/2008/01/retro-redux-shrug.html">Steph's</a> beautiful version I couldn't help using the 2 Malagrigo skeins in my stash to make one.</p>

<p><b><i>Le hice muchos cambios a este, porque quería mangas mas largas y que estuviera ajustado en la espalda. Monté primero los puntos para el mas modelo mas chico con agujas US 9, hice un resorte por 8cm y después empecé el calado hasta que midió 24 cm. Cambie las agujas a US 10 y continué con el calado hasta que midió 32 cm. Cambié a US 10 ½ y continué con el calado hasta que midió 85cm. Después ya seguí el patrón al pie de la letra.</b></i></p>

<p><b><i>Me encanto este tejido, y la verdad que después de ver la versión de <a href="http://craftoholic.blogspot.com/2008/01/retro-redux-shrug.html">Steph's</a> no pude evitar usar las 2 bolas de Malabrigo que tenia para hacerme uno.</b></i></p>

<p><b><i> No me gustaba el calado original en espiral que viene con el patrón y que use en el cuello asi que para el cuerpo use el calado alternativo que resulta en lineas derechas (K2tog, YO, k1, YO, SSK). </b><i/></p>

<p>I couldn’t help myself and cast on immediately for socks in the well-known Pomatomus pattern. I think the yarn is a perfect choice for the pattern.</p>

      <![CDATA[<p>First of all, thank you all for your good wishes and congratulations, we are so exited! (Raz says thanks too). We want an autumn wedding so there’s a lot to do and that’s why I haven been posting regularly. Some of you asked what I wanted to knit for the wedding and the ideal would be a shawl but if there is no time at least a <a href="http://www.internationaloldlacers.org/DianeWilletPOM/dianewillettPOM.html">lace garter</a>.</p>

<p><b><i>Primero que nada muchas gracias a todos por sus buenos deseos y felicitaciones, estamos muy felices!. Raz y yo queremos la boda en otoño, así que hay muchas cosas que hacer, con respecto a que voy a tejer para la boda quisiera un chal pero si de plano no tengo tiempo de perdido me tejeré un <a href="http://www.internationaloldlacers.org/DianeWilletPOM/dianewillettPOM.html">liga de lace.</a></b></i></p>

<p>The days have been flying over here with all the wedding preparations and family and friend’s birthdays but I have been busy, every year I knit a sweater for Raz and since I didn’t finish it for our anniversary it’ll be now an engagement sweater. The pattern is the <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/seamless-hybrid">Seamless Hybrid</a> (ravelry link) by Elizabeth Zimmerman and made famous by <a href="http://brooklyntweed.blogspot.com/">Jared</a>. I’m now at the point where the body and the sleeves are joined, but the sleeves are in process still, sorry for the lateness baby!</p>

<p><b><i>Estos días se han ido volando con eso de preparativos y cumpleaños de familia y amigos pero me he mantenido ocupada, primero cada año le tejo un sweater a Raz pero como no lo termine para el aniversario será ahora el sweater de compromiso. El patrón es el <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/seamless-hybrid">Seamless Hybrid</a> (ravelry link) de Elizabeth Zimmerman y hecho famoso por <a href="http://brooklyntweed.blogspot.com/">Jared</a>. Ya lo llevo más adelantado, el cuerpo esta en el punto donde le unes las mangas las cuales están en proceso.</b></i></p>

<p>I’m in love with the contrast color hem detail. The yarn is Yorkshire Tweed Aran in Wild Plum.</p>

<p><b><i>Me encanta el detalle del dobladillo en color contrastante. El estambre es Yorkshire Tweed Aran en color Wild Plum.</b></i></p>

<p>My mom’s birthday is coming at the end of the month and she has been hinted that she wants a red shawl, so that’s what she’ll get. I decided on the <a href="http://mimknits.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=69&products_id=182">Seraphim Shawl</a> pattern because I wanted a really warm shawl and even though it has very little lace is lovely pattern. I’m also knitting the sweater in sport weight yarn, as my mom is always cold. The shawl is a lot more advanced so I’m confident I’ll finish it in time.</p>

<p><b><i>Mi mamá cumple años a finales de mes y ya lleva tiempo diciéndome que le teja un chal rojo, así que decidí hacerle el <a href="http://mimknits.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=69&products_id=182">Seraphim Shawl</a> que aunque lleva muy poco de calados esta muy bonito y lo hace mas calientito. Además decidí tejerlo en estambre mas grueso ya que mi mami es muy friolenta. El chal ya va mucho mas adelantado así que estoy confiada en terminarlo para la fecha.</b></i></p>

<p>I have been meaning to post this since my birthday in December, <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/people/mache">Mache</a> (ravelry link) knitted it for me, isn’t it the cutest birthday present? Thanks a lot Mache, I love it!</p>

<p><b><i>También he querido postear esto desde mi cumpleaños en diciembre, <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/people/mache">Mache</a> (ravelry link) me lo tejió, apoco no es el regalo mas mono? Muchas gracias Mache, me encanta!</b></i></p>

<p>I have a lot of projects to post and I had a little episode involving hats, but I’ll tell you about that later.</p>

<p><b><i>No es exactamente una modificación pero se me acabó el estambre 5 líneas antes de terminar el gorro, pues ni modo lo que hice fue pasar lo que me quedo de estambre por los puntos para cerrar el gorro y me quedo la corona algo fruncida.</b></i></p>

<p><B><FONT COLOR="#ADD657">Comments: </FONT></B>An incredibly fast and cute hat, perfect for last minute x-mas gifts (but I’m keeping this one for myself). As a rule I dislike cables with variegated yarn but something about this hat is irresistible, and I already had the perfect yarn in the stash. The only bad thing about this project is that’s really addictive, I already cast on for another one.</p>

<p>Thanks to Raz for taking the pictures, it’s a pain to take photos of your own head.</p>

<p><b><i>Un gorro ridículamente rápido y bonito, genial para regalos de ultima hora (claro que me lo voy a quedar yo). Generalmente no me gustan los cables con estambre matizado pero la verdad es que desde que lo vi me encanto y lo mejor es que tenia el estambre perfecto en mi stash. Lo único que encuentro malo de este gorro es que es increíblemente adictivo, ya estoy haciendo otro.</b></i></p>

<B><FONT COLOR="#ADD657">Mods:</FONT></B>  None.</p>

<p><B><FONT COLOR="#ADD657">Comments:</FONT></B> The first thing I want to say is that Kate Gilbert is a genius, the construction of this sweater is too brilliant, first you start to knit the sleeve and when you’re ready to decrease for armhole shaping you start increasing to make the front of the sweater. When you finish the armholes your front is done and you just knit the hem. I’m awed by her math power.</p>

<p><b><i>La primera cosa que quiero decir es que Kate Gilbert es una genio, la construcción de este sweater es demasiado brillante empiezas a tejer la manga por la muñeca y al momento que vas disminuyendo para hacer las sisas de los brazos vas aumentando puntos para hacer el frente, cuando terminas de hacer las sisas el frente esta terminado. Wow con sus matemáticas.</b></i></p>

<p>This unusual construction also has its drawbacks because from the moment you start the increasing for the front each and every one of the rows are knit in a different way and there’re no charts so is very easy to get lost in the beginning. It gets easier as you advance and get the rhythm of the knitting.</p>

<p>I was worried about the fit because my gauge was not perfect but I shouldn’t have worried this sweater has a very forgiving fit and with a careful button placement you should have the fit you like. It took me 2 trials to get a snug look.</p>

<p><b><i>Esta construcción extraña también tiene sus repercusiones ya que al momento de empezar los aumentos del frente todas y cada una de las líneas se tejen diferente, y no hay graficas ni algo que seguir y al principio es muy fácil perderte pero ya después agarras ritmo.</p>

<p>Estaba preocupada por la medida del sweater ya que mi muestra no era perfecta, pero la verdad es que este sweater es muy versátil, con un buen posicionamiento de botones logras que te quede como lo prefieras y en 2 prueba y error me quedo como lo quería.</b></i></p>

<p>The finishing was the hardest thing for me because I had no idea of how to sew knitted hems (or normal ones for that matter) and I couldn’t find any info on the net. So I got inventive and tried a backstitch, the result was horrible. So I kept looking and found an obscure reference to using the whipstitch, so I did and it was good. I loved knitting this jacket and the final result.</p>

<p><i><b>Lo que me pareció mas difícil fue al terminarlo, no tenía idea de cómo coser el dobladillo y no encontraba en ninguna parte como hacerlo así que inventé, primero lo hice con un backstitch y se veía horrible, pero ya después razone y lo volví a coser usando un whipstitch. En general disfrute mucho tejiendo esto y adoro el resultado final.</b></i></p>

<p>This skein in the color Flourite was on my first order ever of Socks that Rock and that was the first time I realized that internet colors lie. You all now that I love STR, it is my favorite sock yarn but some color combinations are a little bold for me. So as a weekend project I decided to over-dye it and the result was a beautiful semi solid brick red skein.</p>

<p><b><i>Esta bola de estambre en el color Flourite estuvo en mi primar orden de Socks that Rock, cuando ordené esto fue la primera vez también que me di cuenta que los colores de Internet mienten. Todas saben que me encantan STR, es mi estambre de calcetas favorito pero algunas combinaciones de color son un poco extravagantes para mi gusto. Entonces como proyecto de fin de semana decidí pintar el estambre con pintura de ropa y el resultado fue esta bonita bola de estambre con un color rojo ladrillo semisólido.</b></i></p>

<p><B><FONT COLOR="#ADD657">Comments:</FONT></B>I love it! Of course I finally finished just before the autumn set in, but at least I got around to wear it once. I actually finished knitting it a while ago but straight off the needles it was too small and not so drapey and I didn’t had the energy to knit a <a href="http://www.ninabomba.com/mt/archives/000106.html">third one</a> so I left it unblocked in my knitting basket. I though of washing it on a pure whim and it was just what it needed the stitches relaxed and grew so it fits like a dream and has a wonderful drape. Now the only problem is that I’m not used to wear something as revealing so I really need to find a backless interior blouse.</p>

<p><b><i>Me encanta! Claro que lo termine justo para cuando empezó el frío pero bueno alcancé a estrenarlo al menos. Lo había dejado sin terminar porque creí que había quedado muy chico y la verdad no tenia la energía para hacer un <a href="http://www.ninabomba.com/mt/archives/000106.html">tercero</a> pero después de lavarlo los puntos se relajaron creció un poco y quedo con una caída hermosa. Ahora lo único malo es que esta un poco mas escotado de lo que me acostumbro poner así que o busco una blusa interior sin espalda o le coso una tela al escote.</b></i></p>]]>

<p>I also want to wish a Happy Socktoberfest to you all and show my socks on the needles in al the stages that socks can be:</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure I can finish the first two pairs by the end of the month but I really want to start a pair of <a href="http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEwinter06/PATTmonkey.html">Monkeys</a> with the pink STR yarn, so we’ll see.</p>

<p><b><i>Estoy segura de terminar las 2 primeras este mes pero quiero empezar unas <a href="http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEwinter06/PATTmonkey.html">Monkeys</a> con el estambre rosa, asi que veremos.</b></i></p>

<p>Also I got myself a set of new and very recommended <a href="http://www.knitpicks.com/">Knitpicks</a> DPN, I just love them they’re like double pointed Addi. It was a little weird at the beginning because I’m very used to my longer Susan Bates DPN, but I got used to very quickly and I adore them.</p>

<p><b><i>Y mis nuevas y recomendadísimas agujas de doble punta <a href="http://www.knitpicks.com/">Knitpicks</a>, me encantan son como Addi de doble punta, al principio las sentí algo extrañas porque están mas cortas que mis usuales Susan Bates, pero me acostumbre muy rápido y las adoro.</b></i></p>

First two weekends ago, Raz, some friends and me went to the <a href="http://www.austincitylimits.com/">Austin City Limits</a> music festival at Zilker Park. We had a great time, ate good food, got a great sunburn and listened to fantastic music (yay! Decemberists) and new music. I didn’t take a single pic, they didn’t allow SLR cameras at the festival so I stole all the pics from Raz.</p>

<p><i><b>Primero hace dos fines de semana fui con Raz y unos amigos al <a href="http://www.austincitylimits.com/">Austin City Limits</a>, que es un festival de música indie muy chido realizado en un parque gigante. Nos asoleamos mucho, comimos muy rico, escuchamos muy buenas bandas (Yay! Decemberists) y conocí muy buena nueva música. Lastima que no tome ni una sola foto porque no dejaban entrar mi cámara. Todas las fotos fueron robadas de Raz.</i></b></p>

<p>Of course a visit to Austin translates to a visit to <a href="http://www.hillcountryweavers.com/main.php">Hill Country Weavers</a>, I have no words, what a fantastic yarn store (amazingly stocked), very friendly people and perfect schedule (they open on Sundays).</p>

<p><b><i>Claro que Ausitn se traduce a una visita a <a href="http://www.hillcountryweavers.com/main.php">Hill Country Weavers</a>, no tengo palabras excelente tienda (creo que es la mas surtida que he visto) personal muy amable, y horario perfecto (abrían los domingos). </b></i></p>

<p>Is a very cute shop too</p>

<p><b><i>Apoco no esta hermosa la fachada?</b></i></p>

<p>Too much yarn</p>

<p><b><i>Demasiado estambre</b></i></p>

<p>Mache arrived the next day with a perfect excuse to make another trip to the store</p>

<p><b><i>Mache llego el segundo día con una excusa para visitar de nuevo la tienda</b></i></p>

<p>The purchase I like the most is the Kusha Kusha scarf kit from Habu textiles, with merino wool and silk stainless steel, how cool is that? Here’s one beautiful one from <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/iselknits/976000460/">iSel.</a></p>

<p><b><i>Lo que mas me gusto fue este kit para hacer la bufanda Kusha Kusha de Habu Textiles con estambre de merino y de seda con nada mas y nada menos que acero inoxidable, pueden creerlo?

<p>And of course I bought sock yarn, and evidently cast on immediately. I’m stuck at the heel though, because I want to try a different <a href="http://hipknitism.com/classes/basic_ribbed_socks/lesson4.shtml">short row heel</a> recommended by <a href="http://andreateje.blogspot.com/">Andrea</a>.</p>

<p>Y claro que compre estambre de calceta y no pude evitar empezar una de inmediato, estoy atorada en el talón porque quiero aprender el de <a href="http://hipknitism.com/classes/basic_ribbed_socks/lesson4.shtml">short-rows</a> que recomendó <a href="http://andreateje.blogspot.com/">Andrea</a> hace poco.</p>

<p>I was going to post that I was knitting a bolero bet before I got around to do it the bolero was done. The pattern is the <a href="http://kellymaher.wordpress.com/2007/07/04/ribbed-lace-bolero/">Ribbed Lace Bolero</a> and I found it on Ravelry, and is a great and free pattern with a very simple construction (a rectangle of ribbing, lace, ribbing with the sides sewed) and I really love it but with certain restrictions.</p>

<p><b><i>Iba a postear de cómo empecé a tejer un bolero pero se me fue el tempo y ya lo termine. El patrón es de <a href="http://kellymaher.wordpress.com/2007/07/04/ribbed-lace-bolero/">Ribbed Lace Bolero</a> y lo encontré en Raverly pero es un patrón gratuito con una construcción muy sencilla (rectángulo con resorte, lace, resorte y los lados cosidos) y me encanto pero con ciertas restricciones.</b></i></p>

<p><center><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/15363311@N00/1331631929/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1159/1331631929_5393e1c479.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="Lacy Ribbed Bolero" /></a></center></p>

<p>To start I decided to Use the Pakucho Cotton, but it seems that is cursed (remember Coachella) because I wasn’t happy with the result and I was determined to frog and knit it again. But I thought better about it (knitting lace with cotton is not my thing) and decided that I could salvage the project after all because the only thing I didn't liked was the too loose ribbing. So, by simply frogging the ribbing from the beginning and end and knit it again in the round with smaller needles, avoiding side seams too, I could have my bolero back. And I know I’m going to have to rip and untangle the ribbing from the beginning stitch by stitch, but I prefer it to knit the whole thing again. Wish me luck, I hope I can break the curse.</p>

<p><b><i>Para empezar decidí usar el  algodón Pakucho que tenía, pero al parecer ese estambre esta maldito (recuerdan Coachella?) ya que no quedé completamente contenta con el bolero y pensaba deshacerlo. Digo pensaba porque lo que no me gusto fue que el resorte esta muy suelto y siento como que cuelga y se me hizo también muy corto el resorte para doblar el cuello como muestra el patrón original.</b></i></p>

<p><b><i>Como no quiero deshacerlo todo y volverlo a hacer (tejer lace en algodón no es una de mis cosas preferidas) voy a deshacer el resorte del final y el principio y volverlo a tejer todo en redondo con una aguja mucho mas pequeña, evitando así las costuras de los lados. Ahora ya se que voy a tener que deshacer punto por punto el resorte del principio pero lo prefiero a volverlo a tejer todo. Espero poder romper la maldición.</b></i></p>

      <![CDATA[<p>I’m back from Orlando, well last week in fact but we had a great time, it was so much fun having all the family there. I ended a bit tired, we finished the days in the wee hours of the night (did you know that Magic Kingdom closes at 3 am on Friday)  and I didn’t knit a stitch in all of the trip.</p>

<p><b><i>Ya regresé de vacaciones, bueno la semana pasada en realidad y nos fue muy bien fue muy padre tener a toda la familia ahí. Algo cansado también terminábamos los días en la madrugada (sabían que hay un día en que Magic Kingdom cierra a las 3 am?) así que no tejí un solo punto en todo el viaje.</i></b></p>

<p>Now I’m back to normal I need another distraction from my complete lack of progress in knitting, so here’s the package for my sockpal <a href="http://scrabblequeen.wordpress.com/">Scrabblequeen</a>.</p>

<p><b><i>Ahora que ya todo regreso a la normalidad y para distraerlas de mi completa falta de avance en mi tejido les enseño el paquete que le mande a mi sockpal <a href="http://scrabblequeen.wordpress.com/">Scrabblequeen</a>.</i></b></p>

<p>The package includes socks, leftover yarn, handmade stitchmarkers, handmade project bag, Glorias (traditional milk candy) and a card. And she loved it all, I’m really happy about it.</p>

<p>I just got word from my sockpal and she says that my socks will be mailed on Monday. I can’t wait.</p>

<p><b><i>El paquete tiene calcetas, el estambre que quedo, stitch markers, una bolsa para guardar proyectos hecha por mi, unas glorias (dulces de leche regionales) y una tarjeta. Dice que todo le gusto y que bueno me gusto mucho tejer esas calcetas.</b></i></p>

<p><b><i>También recibí un correo de mi sockpal y dice que me va a mandar mis calcetas el lunes, ya las quiero ver.</b></i></p>]]>
