When not knitting

Urban blocking
Finally here’s the Urban Aran in all its blocking glory, the boyfriend may be lucky enough to wear it this week, as soon as I decide what to do with the collar. The pieces needed to be well washed because of the coned oiled yarn and I was bold enough to just throw it in the washing machine. It was a success, nothing catastrophic happened, the yarn behaved very well it puff up nicely and lengthen a bit (I was really counting on that). It all looks good, I just need to find a zipper.
Finalmente aquí este el Urban Aran siendo hormado, si Raz corre con suerte lo podrá usar esta semana! solo tengo que decidir que hacer con el cuello. Las piezas del sweater necesitaban lavarse super bien (por el estambre en cono) y en un acto bastante valiente de mi parte metí todo a la lavadora en el ciclo de tejidos. Todo resulto bien y el estambre se relleno y se alargaron un poco las piezas, algo con lo que estaba contando porque el suéter diseñado para mujer necesitaba mas largo para quedarle a un hombre. Todo parece ir bien, solo necesito encontrar un zipper y listo (si solo supiera donde conseguir zippers separables aquí, alguna idea Myrth?)

Mmmm pues nunca le he ouesto un zipper a algo, pero supongo que cualquier mercería grande debe de tener. A mi me agrada el Nuevo Mundo que esta en Calzada y no me han quedado mal hasta ahora. Suerte en tu busqueda!

Navi:
en padre mier, un poco después de Escobedo hay una tienda de telas que se llama ModiTelas (Ojo: Modi, no moda..) tienen una sección de mercería chiquita, pero vi que tenían una gran cantidad de zíppers separables, tanto de latón como de plástico, en muchos largos y colores.
Si puedes darte una vuelta, seguro consigues algo.
Saludos!

How well do those rubber matt things work for blocking? I've just moved into a place with no carpet, and I'm starting a shawl, but I don't have anywhere to block it! Before I went with a towl on the floor, even though that's not quite as I would like it. Do the matt things curl at the edges at all, if you block tight?
I know it's almost winter for you there, but summer is just waking up here - and for some reason I'm the same as you were in February - I just can't stop thinking about sweaters!
I found your blog because I'm thinking about knitting Sahara in Soysilk. How did that turn out, in the end? How is the gauge, etc?

About me
Se ve genial, y de hecho el tejido está mucho más parejo que el mío. Ojalá encontraras un cierre doble, de los que se abren también de abajo hacia arriba, como el que usó Jared. Yo pregunté en el centro pero solo tienen blanco, negro y creo que gris.
