Sunday Photoshoot- Miss Mundo Latina!!

Today I got up really early and went to work to help out in the photoshoot for Miss Mundo Latina US 2011- Chrisally Espinal (República Dominicana)  for our Magazine; Moda Fashion Magazine - Dec issue. 

I took some backstage photos ; she is beautiful and very sweet :)





Knitting & Crochet Projects so far.. ♡ pt 2


I love cowls!!! They are shorter and faster to make, plus they look awesome. 


This one was my first try to do the single crochet stitch! I did a tutorial on how to make a cozy iphone case with the same yarn and then I started making this :)


This one is the same Single Crochet stitch but with a hook size 12mm and 3 different types of thin yarns.. The actual piece looks awesome, very thick and cozy plus it took me 2 hours - with the big crochet hook is faster!


This knitted cowl was made with 100% wool, so its very soft and nice..The pattern is called Basket Weave, and I did it 8x8 so- pattern is 8 knit, 8 purl and repeat multiples of 8 and when you turn, every time you see knit, you knit, when you see purl you purl!


This last one I made it with a 19mm crochet hook so it has holes all around. I love the uneveness of it! ^^ I combined single crochet and double crochet!! 


I wore this one yesterday although Miami's weather is still not cold as it will normally be this time of year- :( 


Happy Sunday!

Knitting & Crochet Projects so far.. ♡ pt 1

Since I made my first scarf, I can't stop! :)


I've been learning and making new things.. (also teaching.. to my friends ;)) I'm a great teacher btw!!!!! haha 


Here is my process so far..





This was my first scarf ever! I will always be so proud of this one ! 


The Knit Stitch is the basic Knitting stitch - the easiest one too! If you want to learn, start with this stitch and practice a lot! It's really hard at first. 


In Spain they call it " El punto Bobo" translation: "The dumb stitch"! I find this very funny. 


Here is my favorite tutorial (its in spanish, but don't freak out, by only watching you will get it)




I wrote a post about pencils, and found a a couple of pencil scarves and I needed to make one! 

This one was made without pattern! I started doing it by myself after a friend's aunt taught me to make crochet triangles. yay! I used the Single Crochet Stitch all the way, changed colors as I needed. I got carried away and closed it because I wanted to wear it.. and I think It would had been better if I've done it longer!!!! but oh well, I love this one, is very fun! I'm also thinking of making colored pencil ones! ^^

My favorite Single Crochet tutorial if you want to try this one out!



This one is by far my best scarf ever! :) It is a surprise for December.. so I won't say it now... so Its not mine :( I am doing another one for me tho'! It is the softest yarn ever and I made some fringes on each side.

I made this Rib stitch by Knit 2 and Purl 2 all the way. 

You can see a tutorial here


That's it for now! This post took too much time than I thought and I am going out with my friends!

Have a great Saturday night!

Swap O Rama 3.0 ♡

Today, my friend Bea and I went to Ft Lauderdale for the Swap O Rama event!! It was pretty cool!!!

The Event took place at The Bubble, which is an Art Gallery.


You donate a bag of unwanted clothes and pay $5 to get in... :)


Every donation - clothes, accessories, shoes, yarn, all was organized in color and when you got in you could browse around and see stuff you might want- FOR FREE


There was Tie Dye booth, screen printing booth, sewing machines and sergers for you to take it to the next level!


We sat and crochet/knit for a while and took many many balls of yarn!!! yaay!



It was lots of fun!! I will def go there next year (they do it twice a year!!)
