Knit happens
Contrary to popular prejudice, men knitting used to be commonplace and was not exclusively a female preoccupation. In fact, many historians back the view that it  was men who created knitting and contributed significantly to its development.

May Mixed Media or Oh, otoño!        greetings from Chile 2013

Otoño Elegante It's May, and it's autumn -  Novermber in the  Southern hemisphere. It's getting chillier in Chile. Thank goodness. I love fall, so I am fine. I didn't knit at all in May. All I came up with are these "knitting cards." Because of the technical difficulties I can't display them in a larger format on my website. Here's a little sneak peek ... :-)

13 de mayo de 1968 How old were you in 1968? And you were probably wearing a similar dress!? For these cards, I used some of the vintage knitting magazines - Chilean, Autumn (May) 1968 - which I got at the local flea market (1.500 pesos each). Fabric is from the local warehouse. I bought 3 kg for 3.000 pesos ($6)



Flores de otoño
Every season hath its pleasures;
Spring may boast her flowery prime,
Yet the vineyard's ruby treasures
Brighten Autumn's sob'rer time.

Thomas Moore Spring and Autumn.

Spring...You never know what might spring out of a simple playing with paper. You mix photos, pictures, small objects and other ephemera together and suddenly realize that it's exactly what you wanted to say. I have always been into crafts. I like creating handmade gifts for my friends and family. The latest have been some birthdays collages (for my daughter and friends). I liked the process of making them and decided to add a little bit of knitting into it. It worked, and my passion to the art of knitting started shining in a different way. It looks like I am into mixed-media!! It was a wonderful discovery for me, and I am still learning.

All the collages you see below consist of something knitted, a piece of music, an old book, some special (for me) paper, and a message. Happy spring to everyone :-)


Stitch your stress away A piece of "knit" here is a rose on a crochet stitch diagram.What do you need to have a good time? New yarn and a book. I am hooked on audiobooks - I often listen to audiobooks while knitting.

The new yoga What do knitting and yoga have in common? A whole lot more than you might think :-) In a nutshell it's meditation, breath and a little time every day to connect back with yourself. My schedule hasn't allowed a lot of quality knitting time recently. It has to change... :-)
