Maltese crochet

Wednesday, March 21st, 2007

Maltese crochet is another term for hairpin lace, a type of lace made through crochet but not only with the crochet hook but also with a fork (also known as hairpin or a staple). Turns out that the Priscilla Yoke book has one yoke made through maltese crochet. I am currently making some medallions using […]

Different times

Tuesday, March 20th, 2007

My humans were going to photograph the onion before planting it yesterday -however the battery in the camera expired and it took hours to recharge. By the time the camera was working again, it was the next day already and the onion was starting to look rather expired itself. Several bits that seemed to be […]

My mother often used to say “There’s no need to have kittens every time you get poked in the eye”. I never really understood what she meant exactly.

Working out the drawstring, slip balls and […]

Worms that turn into birds

Sunday, March 18th, 2007

Oh boy, the nightmares are back with a Vengence….. Last night, my humans told me that while they were walking in the communal garden they actually saw two birds attacking a cat! Apparently, this was one cool cat who just ignored the birds dive bombing and pecking its back -but I guess not all of […]

Yellow is the color of…

Sunday, March 18th, 2007

I’m nearly finished with the yellow work bag! My partner and I looked for yellow yarn for the cord and slip balls this afternoon but we couldn’t find any “real” yellow. The one we found was a lot more like processed cheddar cheese yellow. Although I can say thatthe […]
