Me hiciste acordar la vez que tomé un bus para ir de Dellorto a Delano xd
Siento que dice harto de la cultura de la empresa el que no puedan ni darse el tiempo de entrevistar individualmente. Onda, para mi es como red flag, pero ya no me puedo hacer la selectiva xd
Nos hicieron presentarnos y luego responder unas preguntas (las mimas para todos). Onda qué programas de diseño manejábamos, que proyecto nuestro destacaríamos como innovador, si llamaran a nuestra jefatura anterior que cosa positiva y negativa diría de nosotros, weás así
Odio las entrevistas grupales, son como los Hunger Games laborales.
Fui a control con el oftálmologo que me operó cuando niña (me conoce de 3 meses de vida xd) y como es usual estuve como una hora esperando que dilatara la pupila del ojo ciego. Cuando salí de la clínica quedé real ciega, menos mal mi mamá podía manejar de vuelta jaja Procederé a encerrarme en la pieza con el blackout hasta que se pase >_o
Same. Me pasó una vez que me tocó esperar para una reunió en Provi y en ese lapso se me acercaron como 4 personas a preguntar direcciones jaja
Como está ese lado del mundo? Boston es igual bin al norte asi que el verano ahi no debe ser como full verano o si?
TIL que el jueves es feriado, no cacho nada todos los días son iguales ;_;
Habemus pega! Sort of. Me llamaron para hacer encargos freelance para un centro de estudios urbanos (de hecho creo que quedé porque conocía a la directora de cuando participamos en un panel en Antofa cuando yo era biciactivista xd).
Jajaja xD El reciclaje es como la vueltita ideal, lo suficientemente lejos para no ir a pata y suficientemente corto como para que no me demore mucho
Hoy tuve otra entrevista y luego de eso me fui a dejar el reciclaje al punto limpio en bicicleta. Es increíble como me sube la serotonina aunque sea un viaje cortito. Llegué con más ánimo a seguir buscando pega.
Basic ranglan sweater. I used a cake of self-striping yarn for the body and finished off the sleeves with a spare skein in mustard. The pattern was very fun and easy to follow, I'm looking forward to knit more kid's projects because they're so quick xD
I've been saving this one. It was my first attempt at knitting in the round and I totally twisted my stitches 😂
I read in the pattern about checking your stitches before joining for in the round knitting, but I didn't quite understood what it meant until I was several rows deep into my project and there was a big turn in the middle lol.
A friend told me that twisted cowls were actually a thing so I went ahead and finished it. I even wore it a few times and then I was made aware I also twisted my stitches from knitting into the back loop xD I could not unsee that so I threw it deep into my closet and forgot about it.
Triple fail:
But wait, there's a happy ending.
As I was getting my stuff ready to move I dug it out from my closet and decided to frog the darn thing. I re-knit it in the Free For All pattern and I'm much happier with it now. I'm looking forward to use this version when cold season finally hits.
(In hindsight I should have done this pattern in the first place, it's been in my favorites forever, but back then I didn't really know how to read patterns in English so I never realized it was knitted flat lol).
I got this cake for Christmas and looking for some way to use it I thought I'd try my first kid sweater. The pattern is a very simple raglan sweater, but the self-striping yarn makes it look way more interesting. I'm gonna need to get a matching yarn to finish off the sleeves, but I'm kinda getting why people love knitting for kids so much, it's so fast!
This is my first knitted garment. Actually the third, but we'll get to that. I got this gradient yarn during my trip to Spain last September. Initially I had no plans on what I would do with it, I had mostly knit accesories and just dipped my toes into shawls, which is what I originally thought I'd make. But when I got back home I though I might try kniting my first piece of garment so off I went to Ravelry and found this lovely pattern from Carina Spencer.
I initially knitted this in my usual size (38) and with US 4 (3.5mm) needles... and it ended waaay too large. My mom said it was because it's a linen/viscose blend and it tends to "give" a lot. So I frogged it and re-knit it in a couple sizes down (same needle size). Still. Too. Large.
At this point I realized knitting willy-nilly wasn't going to work anymore so went ahead and knit a gauge sample, which ended up resulting that I needed to size down to US 2 1/2 (3.00mm) needles. On this third attempt I decided to knit with the colors reversed (teal to burgundy).
MUCH BETTER.
It is not 100% perfect fit, but it's good enough that I'm happy to actually wear this outside so I'm declaring it finished. Finally.
I got some skeins of yarn as christmas gifts and I had been looking for a quick easy project to usem the for. Also I'm a avid cyclist. I found this pattern on Ravelry and thought it'd make a cute gift for my cycling friends
I used 4.0mm size needles and casted on 56 stitches (28st per side) and worked in the round using the magic loop technique (pattern originally is worked flat).
I knitted these in one afternoon as a break between larger projects. I feel like this is an easy project to adapt to different yarn weights, perfect for using leftover yarn. My friend really liked them, but has yet to try them on a ride because it's summer over here lol

Made my 2nd set of socks as a gift for a friend. I based them on the Crazy Sock Lady "How to knit socks on magic loop" video tutorial, but using a k3p1 pattern and a jersey stitch heel instead of slip stitch.
This is my first time using self-striping yarn and it's so fun! I loved seeing the design come to life as I knit :)
My mom had this yarn in her stash for goodness knows how long, she mentioned she initially got it because she wanted to knit a tee with it. I got her a pattern from Ravelry to fit her preferred style (flat knitting) but she had some trouble with the lace pattern (abbreviations like k2tog and ssk are new to her, at least in name lol). I told her no worries mom, I'll knit it for you!
This is actually the second piece, I only have to knit the top lace pattern and it'll be ready for blocking and sewing together, and just at the beginning of summer, yay (southern hemisphere here).
Pattern: Angel Tee by Rina Leyton (available in English and Spanish) Yarn: Unknown viscose yarn, sport weight
My first pair of socks, weee! I had way more fun doing this than anticipated when I first read the written instructions but it was very easy once I watched the matching video tutorial (I had to do 1/2 of the stitches mentioned in the video since I was doing fingering held double).
I can now totally see why people like knitting socks so much and I can already tell this is the beginning of a new obsession 😂
Ok so I finally took the plunge and I'm knitting my first pair of socks. Ever. I'm doing fingering held double because less stitches 😂
Pattern: DK Weight Vanilla Socks Yarn: locally dyed mering sock fingering
I'm following the vanilla socks on magic loop video tutorial by Crazy Sock Lady and it's helped sooo much. I suck at understanding written instructions (probably because english is not my first lanuage) so seeing it done has made things much easier.
I can now totally understand why socks are such a big thing lol.
Pattern: Sugar Maple by Carina Spencer Thread: Katia Polynesia Gradient #305
This is my first time knitting a proper clothing item and I'm so happy! The pattern has been really easy to follow and for the first time all my stitch counts match the pattern 😅 (I usually end up with 1-2 stitches more -or less-).
I was thinking of getting a spare yarn in a color similar to the teal at the end to lengthen the tee into more of a mini-dress, but I've been having a hard time finding one locally lol. We'll see :)
What you been up to this week?
Busco clases grupales de ukelele xd Me estanqué en mi proceso de autoaprendizaje. Necesito cierta estructura, onda que me digan qué aprender, pero me da cuco ir a clases particulares solo para mi. Onda que me siento más cómoda cuando la atención no está directamente enfocada en mí.
