On my needles…

Helloooooo lovely people,

I’m here today to announce to you that I AM ACTUALLY LEARNING TO KNIT ๐Ÿ™‚ Yes, I started two weeks ago when I bought this wonderful book full of beautiful pics …

ย It gave me the “punch” I needed to get started …It is simple not too complicated until now…

I’m still practising the very basic stitches till now… nothing important ๐Ÿ˜‰

but I soo want to know how to knit in 3D to make toys, how to increase and decrease, how to make these beautiful “jacquard” style knitting…

Oh I have sooo many beautiful projects in my head that I want to make…It is wonderful to learn a new skill isn’t it?

But tell me…did you learn to knit after learning to crochet?

If it is after (like myself) did you find it easy or difficult?

Which craft do you prefere? crochet or knitting? and why? I would really love to have your opinion on this subject…

Until now, I just love the sound the needles do….this isn’t the case for crochet…I think the music of the needles is very soothing and calming, don’t you think?

I’m spending some time on Pinterest tooย to get some inspiration…You can see lovely pictures of knitting projects on my board ”ย knitting” on Pinterest here…

Have to go now…

Thank you so much for your kind words and all the prayers for my little country Lebanon…It meant a lot to me…and we really need prayers…It is the only thing we can do…unfortunately…to fight against war, blood and dark days….Praying for peace…

So a BIG thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of you… one by one !

Have a beautiful day!

Paintings and more

Good morning,

A BIG BIG thank you from my mum to all of you for your wonderful comments concerning her projects ๐Ÿ™‚

Today, I want to show you two small finished paintings…

They areย small, quick to make but I enjoyed painting them a lot…

I hope you liked them ๐Ÿ™‚

I managed to make some progress on the baby bedspread too even though I’m spending most of my time watching the news… and praying…

The political situation is awful here and we are so afraid of another civil war ๐Ÿ™

Please do join me in my prayers for my little country ….

Kisses to all!

Little things…

Hello hello hellooooo!

How are you today? Hope everything is good…

My mother made a couple of things for my baby that I want to show you today…I hope you’ll like ๐Ÿ˜‰

First, there is a crocheted blanket…

She created the design herself ๐Ÿ™‚ Isn’t it lovely?

and then she knited a little sweater with its assorted socks on the same “sea” theme…

I think she took the pattern of the little sweater from the latest “Marie Claire idees”ย magazine.

I just love this marine set ๐Ÿ™‚

And my adorable mummy made a couple of little vests too and another lovely brown knitted sweater…

and a beautiful “nid d’ange”. I don’t know how we call these in English…It is aย kind of long sweater closed from down that we put for our babies on cold days before going out …

I’m very proud of you mum ๐Ÿ™‚ You are my very first inspiration…and I still have a lot to learn from you …Thank you for everything!

and my friends…

tomorrow…

“le monde de Sucrette” will turn two ๐Ÿ™‚

Two years with you my lovelies ๐Ÿ™‚ Two years of blogging thanks to you ๐Ÿ™‚

I’m very happy to celebrate with you this second year …

Cheers!

Day after day…

Day after day, the bedspread I’m crocheting is slowly growing…

two more rows every week…

I am really really enjoying this blanket…

Choosing the colors, crocheting the squares and joining them as-I-go…a pleasure to make ๐Ÿ™‚

Day after day my bump is slowly growing too ๐Ÿ™‚

31 weeks of pregnancy ๐Ÿ™‚

Will I give birth before or after finishing the bedspread???? ๐Ÿ™‚

Thank you so much for being here…

Thank you for asking, for caring, for writing kind words…

You’ll never know how much you mean to me ๐Ÿ™‚

Have a fabulous day!
