BEST TOOLS TO CHECK THE SPELLING IN YOUR CROCHET/KNITTING PATTERNS

Leave a Comment / Crochet/Knitting Designers

If you are a crochet and knitting designer you surely spend days and weeks creating your new designs, you put a lot of work and effort so that knitters/crocheters enjoy making your design and love it. But there is something you must take into account before publishing a new crochet/knitting pattern, or before sending it to the tech editor. I’m talking about spelling, something you sometimes neglect and which is very important. A pattern full of spelling mistakes ruins your image as a professional and is not what you are looking for. I’m going to tell you why you should care about the spelling of your patterns, how doing so can save you time and money, and I’m also going to tell you my two favorite tools for spellchecking. I already told you a little about how important it is that your crochet/knitting pattern has the correct spelling. Several things can happen if you publish your designs with mistakes, but the most significant ones are: 1- Crocheters/knitters may not understand your pattern well: many times there are mistakes that prevent to understand well what we have to make. Sometimes a misplaced comma, a missing accent or a misspelled word can make us get the wrong result, this in crochet/knitting and in everything in general. 2- As a designer, you will give a very unprofessional image of what you do. Your design can be very beautiful, have a perfect technique and be very innovative and original, but if it is full of mistakes people will not value it the same. You will be giving the image of being unprofessional and that you don’t care enough about what you do and don’t put as much effort as you should. So now that you know this, get to work and check your spelling. How does spell checking help you save time and money? Well, if you are going to send your pattern to a tech editor (which is the most advisable for your pattern to go on air without mistakes) and it is full of spelling mistakes, the editor will spend much more time editing. We all know that technical editing work has an hourly cost, so the longer the editor takes, the more you will have to pay for it. A pattern with good spelling allows the editor to focus on more important aspects of the pattern, optimizing time and keeping costs under control. My 2 Favorite Spelling Checker Tools As a Professional Translator and Tech Editor of Crochet/Knitting Patterns I use several tools that optimize my time and my work (because yes, we use tools, and we are human) and spellchecking tools are one of the most important. I am going to recommend you the two best FREE Spellchecking tools, the same ones I use every day as a professional, and that will help you a lot. I must clarify that they are tools, not magic. You must know spelling to use them, you can’t trust them 100% because they are not human. That said, I will show them to you and tell you a little bit about them: LANGUAGE TOOL: Language Tool is a spelling, grammar and style checker. This tool corrects any text in more than 30 languages in an intelligent and easily applicable way. But it is the best for proofreading in Spanish (in my opinion, that is what I use it for). Its functioning is very simple, it points out the errors in the text and shows you the possible spelling and/or grammatical corrections so that you can choose whether you want to apply them or not. It is an extension that you can download for your browser and it is FREE, although it has a paid version (the free one is very good). Once the extension is installed in your browser it will appear automatically when you write in Google Docs, Word, Canva and many other formats. DOWNLOAD LANGUAGE TOOL HERE GRAMMARLY: GRAMMARLY is another spelling and grammar checker, the best for correcting texts in English, and the one that I always use and recommend 100 %. Its functioning is also very simple and is like the previous tool, it will mark the errors and give you suggestions for you to decide which one to use. Like the previous one, it is an extension for your browser and totally FREE, although there is also a paid version. Once installed, it will correct the spelling and grammar in almost all document formats: Google Docs, Canva… DOWNLOAD GRAMMARLY HERE SUBSCRIBE TO KNOW EVERYTHING THAT IS HAPPENING HERE! SUBSCRIBE ME! WELCOME! Ops! SOMETHING WENT WRONG, TRY AGAIN PLEASE You already know what to do to prevent your patterns from being full of spelling mistakes, I use those tools myself every day and they are the best. Their free versions are more than enough for you to check your spelling and publish more professional patterns. So much for today’s post, I’d love to know what tool you use to correct your patterns. If you found it useful, SHARE it, so your friends can see it. Have a nice day!

¿What is Proofreading and why it is important for your crochet pattern?

Leave a Comment / Crochet

If you’re a crochet enthusiast and use patterns in English or Spanish, you’ve probably encountered translation, spelling, or grammar errors at some point. And if you’re a designer of crochet garments or accessories who publishes your patterns in Spanish or also in English, chances are that customers have contacted you to ask or clarify some mistake in your patterns. These errors can result in a final piece that doesn’t turn out well or even in a project that can’t be finished. That’s why the process of PROOFREADING is essential to ensure that your crochet patterns, whether in Spanish or English, are free of errors. I’ll explain what PROOFREADING is and why it’s important for your patterns. What is PROOFREADING? Proofreading is the process of reviewing a text with the goal of detecting and correcting grammatical, spelling, and punctuation errors. In the case of crochet patterns translated into Spanish or English, PROOFREADING also includes reviewing the translation to ensure that the pattern is easy to understand and follow. Why is it important to PROOFREAD crochet patterns? Any error in the translation or in the writing of a crochet pattern can have negative consequences on the final result. A translation error can lead to an incorrectly finished piece, while a mistake in the way you write the instructions can make the pattern difficult to follow or even impossible to finish. That is why proofreading is essential for crochet patterns in any language. By carefully proofreading the text, errors can be detected and corrected before the pattern is published. This ensures that the pattern is easy to understand and follow, which in turn allows the crocheter to achieve the desired result. SAVE THIS POST That’s it for today’s post. If you found it useful, SHARE it, so your friends can see it. I would love to know what you think about PROOFREADING and if you knew what it is, I love to read you. Nice crochet time!

5 Interesting Facts about Live Loop Crochet

Leave a Comment / Crochet

The Live Loop Crochet technique allows us to make beautiful things with beautiful cables and the best thing is that we do it with our crochet hook or crochet hook. This is a technique created by Sue Perez, who has self-published a book in English about this amazing technique called: Live Loop Cables in Crochet. Today I want to tell you 5 things you may not know about this technique that uses live loops and that you surely don’t know. 1-It is used to make cables and braids in crochet. It is a technique used to make cables but in crochet or and with a very neat finishing that imitates knitting. 2-Stitches are left unfinished, as live loops. Contrary to the way of working the stitches in crochet that we finish them before continuing with the next stitch, here the stitches are not finished in order to make the cable. The stitches that are used to make the cable are left alive, which means that they are not closed, and we work with them that way. That is where the name “live loop” comes from. SUBSCRIBE TO KNOW EVERYTHING THAT IS HAPPENING HERE! SUBSCRIBE ME! WELCOME! Ops! SOMETHING WENT WRONG, TRY AGAIN PLEASE 3-Cables are like a knitted section above a crochet fabric background These cables are like a small section of knitting on a crochet base. Only that although the stitches have the same structure and shape as those made in knitting, they are made with a crochet hook. 4-The cables can move horizontally, vertically, circular and can cross each other. These cables travel horizontally or vertically on the fabric and can even be made in the shape of a circle. They can also be crossed over each other to form braids. They can be used to create many different shapes and combinations on a crochet base. 5-You can unravel only the cable without touching the rest of the fabric. If you have not binded off the cables and you have a mistake, you can unravel them and redo them, fixing the problem without unraveling the base of the fabric made with the traditional crochet method. These are just some curiosities about this Live Loop Crochet technique, but I promise you that it is a fascinating technique with which you can learn a lot and make really unique garments. If you liked what you learned in this post I invite you to share it on your social networks so that your friends can see it. And I’d love to know if you liked it and if you want to know more about this technique, I’d love to read it.

What is FIT and how to call in Spanish

Leave a Comment / Crochet

When you find “Fit” in a crochet pattern means that something (in this case a piece of clothing) is not big or small, it is your size. There are different ways in which we can find this word in a crochet pattern, and I want you to know that it is very important for you to know it when it comes to understanding the pattern well and choosing the size and how you want the garment to fit you. Ways in which you can find FIT in a crochet pattern Usually, in the section where we talk about sizes or final measurements of the garment, you will find the word FIT. So I will give you 2 examples, although there may be more, so you know what it means when you find it. 1-You can find this phrase: To fit bust 85 cm It means it is designed to fit a person with a bust/chest circumference of 85 cm. 2-O you can find it as follows: Instructions given fit size small This means that the instructions given are to obtain a garment that fits size S or small. What is FIT called in Spanish? In a pattern in Spanish, whether crochet or knit, you will almost always find fit in the case of a garment. FIT in Spanish means: servirle o quedarle bien But in a Spanish crochet pattern, there is no word to describe fit, they just explain it and say for which size o person it fits.

6 Types of Yarn Packaging in English and Spanish.

Leave a Comment / Uncategorized

Surely, when you started crocheting you thought it was just a matter of learning how to hold yarn and hook and make stitches, but it goes much further than that. Crochet is a whole world full of things to learn every day. That’s why in this post I’m going to introduce you to the different ways you can find your yarns and the way they are called in Spanish too. Types of Yarn Packaging Yarns are packaged in several ways, you will see below the most common ones: Hank: is the form in which most wool artisans (the people who work with wool from the care of the animal until it is in the state we need it to crochet) and dyers fold it or present it so that it reaches us. This form of presentation helps the fiber to maintain its fluffiness and elasticity. Skein:is the most common form of packaging in many places and is made in an automated way in factories, not manually as hanks. Ball:is simply a ball that we make when we wind the hank or any yarn by hand. Cone: it is a packaging made mostly in factories. The yarn is cone-shaped with a cardboard or plastic cone (almost always) inside that gives it the shape and makes it stand upright. Cake: it has the form of a cake. This term is also used in Spanish. It is usually made by hand, with a homemade winder machine. Donut: this packaging resembles the shape of a delicious donuts. It is of automated production, it is not made manually, but in factories. How do Spanish-speaking crocheters call them? You may wonder why you need to know this in Spanish. Well, very easy, when you crochet a pattern in Spanish in the materials’ section you can find these words, it is important for you to know them if you want to be a bilingual crocheter. Hank – Madeja Skein – Ovillo Ball – Bola Cone – Cono Cake – Cake Donut Ball – Dona What is the best choice for you? I will tell you a bit about my experience to help you choose which one is the best for you. Hank: Do not use it to crochet directly, it can form a huge tangle and end in frustration. You must wind it before with the help of a winder or you can do it without it perfectly helping you with a chair or someone to hold the skein while you wind it into a ball. However, if you are going to dye the yarn, it is better to do it in the form of a skein. The rest of the packaging come ready to use, although some may be more comfortable to crochet with than others. For example, working with a cake is easier because it won’t be rolling all over the place, it stays more easily on a flat surface or in a yarn ball bowl. I prefer the ball or the cake. Like everything in life, it depends on each person and their tastes and habits to choose the packaging that they like the most. *If you want to know more about yarn: 5 Things to Keep in Mind when buying Yarn 5 Tips to Improve your Yarn Tension Tips to choose Best Yarn for Your Projects Save this Post Are you on Instagram?

Yarn Weights and how to say it in Spanish

Leave a Comment / Uncategorized

You love to crochet, but you’re a little confused about choosing yarn for a project because you don’t know the different weights that exist. I am going to help you not only to know the different sizes but also to know what they are called in Spanish. It is also true that most Spanish-speaking crocheters use English terms to refer to yarn weights. What is Yarn Weight? Yarn Weight is just the thickness of the yarn. There are different yarn weights, and you should know about this to be able to choose better when starting a new project. Making socks with a fingering yarn is not the same as making socks with a DK yarn, and the same happens to everything else. There are yarn manufacturers all over the world and not all of them classify yarns according to their thickness in the same way, that is why having a chart with the standards and their equivalents will be very useful. What are PLYs (cabos, in Spanish) and where are they used? Historically, yarn thickness was measured by the number of plys it had. The Ply is one of the strands that make up the yarn. Usually, when spinning the fibers, several plys of the same fiber or of different fibers in some cases are joined together to create a thicker yarn. In some countries, such as the United Kingdom, this method is still used today, although it is no longer very clear because it is not as accurate. Most crocheters, knitters and countries use the U.S. system, even in Spanish-speaking countries because we do not have unified terms in Spanish (that we all use) to classify the thickness of the yarns. Even so it is good to know all the methods in case you come across a pattern that uses, for example, yarns from the UK, and they give you the thickness in plys, you won’t think they are speaking Chinese. REMEMBER: PLY – Cabo (in Spanish) Yarn Weights in English and Spanish Well, let’s see the most common terms for Yarn Weights. As the most used ones are in English, I will put them in English and then their translation to Spanish, which as I already told you, not many use: Lace – Listón Fingering (US)/ Super Fine – Super Fino Sport (US)/ Fine – Fino DK/ Light – Ligero Worsted (US)/ Medium – Medio Bulky (US)/ Chunky (UK) – Abultado Super Bulky (US) – Super Abultado Jumbo – Jumbo Characteristics of each Yarn Weight LACE (Listón): It is the thinnest thickness. It is used for very fine work such as lace and miniatures. Gauge: If you make a swatch with this yarn, you will obtain approximately 32 to 42 stitches in 10 cm. Recommended Hook: It is recommended to use a 1.6 to 1.4 mm steel crochet hook with this yarn weight, or a 2.25 mm hook (keep in mind that this is only a recommendation, we all work with different tensions and depending on the project, the hook we use can vary as well). SPORT (US)/ FINE (Fino): It is also widely used in baby clothes because it is quite thin in terms of its weight. Gauge: If you make a swatch with this yarn you will obtain approximately 16 to 20 stitches in 10 cm. Recommended Hook: It is recommended to use a 3.5 mm to 4.5 mm crochet hook with this yarn weight (keep in mind that this is only a recommendation, we all crochet with different tensions and depending on the project, the hook may also vary). FINGERING (US) /SUPER FINE (Super Fino): This yarn is still fine but thicker than the previous one. It is most commonly used to make socks, gloves and baby clothes. Gauge: If you make a swatch with this yarn, you will obtain approximately 21 to 32 stitches in 10 cm. Recommended Hook: It is recommended to use a 2.25 mm to 3.5 mm crochet hook with this yarn weight (keep in mind that this is only a recommendation, we all crochet with different tensions and depending on the project, the hook may also vary). DK/ LIGHT (Ligero): It is a yarn widely used to make sweaters and tops. Gauge:If you make a swatch with this yarn you will obtain approximately 12 to 17 stitches in 10 cm. Recommended Hook: It is recommended to use a 4.5 mm to 5.5 mm crochet hook with this yarn weight (keep in mind that this is only a recommendation, we all crochet with different tensions and depending on the project, the hook may also vary). WORSTED (US)/ MEDIUM (Medio): Gauge: If you make a swatch with this yarn, you will obtain approximately 11 to 14 stitches in 10 cm. Recommended Hook: It is recommended to use a 5.5 mm to 6.5 mm crochet hook with this yarn weight (keep in mind that this is only a recommendation, we all crochet with different tensions and depending on the project, the hook may also vary). BULKY (US) (Abultado): Gauge: If you make a swatch with this yarn you will get approximately 8 to 11 stitches in 10 cm. Recommended Hook:It is recommended to use a 6.5 mm to 9 mm crochet hook with this yarn weight (keep in mind that this is only a recommendation, we all crochet with different tensions and depending on the project, the hook may also vary). SUPER BULKY (US) (Super Abultado) Gauge: If you make a swatch with this yarn, you will obtain approximately 7 to 9 stitches in 10 cm. Recommended Hook: It is recommended to use with this yarn weight a crochet hook of 9 mm to 15 mm or more (keep in mind that this is only a recommendation, we all crochet with different tensions and depending on the project the hook may also vary). JUMBO (Jumbo): Gauge: If you make a swatch

What materials are crochet hooks made of and which one is best for you?

Leave a Comment / Crochet, crochet tips

In crochet hooks, as in almost everything in life, there is a lot of diversity. There are hooks of many sizes, of different shapes, of different prices and made of different materials. I want to tell you a little about the materials that your hook can be made of, and above all give you some information about each one, so you can choose which one is the best for you and for your current project. Table of Contents What materials is the crochet hook made of? Pros and Cons of each material. Materials your crochet hook may be made of, in Spanish, and why you should know about it What materials is the crochet hook made of? There are crochet hooks made of different materials such as aluminum, steel, plastic, acrylic, bamboo, wood, glass … And you may even find that there are some made of bone or ivory, of course they are some of the most expensive ones. Let’s see below some characteristics of some of them, so you can keep them in mind while choosing the right one for you or your budget. Pros and Cons of each material. Metals Pros: Aluminum hooks are the most readily available and used by most crocheters, especially beginners. On the other hand, the antique hooks are made of steel or other metals. They are quite inexpensive hooks and are also very light, which makes them highly recommended if you are trying to maintain fabric tension and stitch uniformity. Crochet hooks made of aluminum or any other metal tend to slide better while crocheting, in other words, it does not get stuck with the yarn and on the contrary it slides very well. This feature makes you can crochet a little faster than with hooks made of other materials. They are very light hooks, which makes them very useful. Aluminum hooks are usually a very good option if you want to move faster on your project, if you are working with a yarn with many textures that would be more difficult to work with a hook made of a different material than aluminum, or if you simply like to crochet with hooks where the yarn slides more easily. Cons: Because they are made of metal they are less flexible and more likely to cause pain in your wrist, and if you already suffer from pain or damage to your hands they are not recommended. Another problem would be that the metal hooks if not stored and cared for properly can have rust, I have some very old ones that were my grandmother’s, and they are quite rusty. The aluminum ones that I have are very well and without rust, I prefer them to the steel ones that are older. Acrylic/ Plastic Pros: Plastic hooks are very easy to find lately and also quite inexpensive. They are also quite flexible and therefore good for your hands. They also have the characteristic that the yarn slides very well on them, although not as well as on aluminum hooks. I would say that this ability to slide the yarn on them in the case of plastic ones is between aluminum and wood or bamboo. Of course, this also depends on the yarn we are using in each case. There are conventional size and jumbo size. The later ones are light in spite of their size because they are hollow inside. Cons: The plastic causes friction and static which can affect some fibers. Depending on the friction, it can even felt the wool a little. Wood/ Bamboo Pros: Bamboo hooks have the characteristic of being light and feel warmer in your hands than those made of other materials such as aluminum. Cons: They are used to work with thicker yarns and have the characteristic that the stitches do not slide much. For beginner crocheters they are not recommended, although it is all a matter of taste and practice. There are not usually small diameter hooks, they are usually thicker. And the hooks that are made of harder woods or precious woods are usually quite expensive. Materials your crochet hook may be made of, in Spanish, and why you should know about it You already know that my mission is to teach you how to crochet patterns in Spanish, even if you don’t know anything about this language. That’s why in every post I’m leaving you terms that will be useful when you are going to crochet a pattern in Spanish and in this one you can’t miss them. And you may wonder why you need to know the materials your hook is made of, in Spanish, the answer is very easy: In some patterns, the designer may advise you to use a hook of a certain material to obtain a specific result or to make the process easier for you. I leave you then how to say the materials the crochet hook can be made of, in Spanish: Aluminio: aluminium Acero: steel Plastico: plastic Acrílico: acrylic Bambú: bamboo Madera: wood Vidrio: glass Hueso: bone Marfil: ivory Now that you know the materials used to make crochet hooks and the pros and cons of using each one, it’s time to practice with several of them to get your own experience. You already have the knowledge you need to choose the most suitable hook for your circumstances or your project. I hope you have found this information useful and that you can now decide which hook is best for you for each occasion. Save this post on Pinterest for when you need it. Are you on Instagram?

Inline or Tapered Crochet Hook, what is the best for you?

Leave a Comment / Crochet, crochet tips

Table of Contents 2 Types of Crochet Hooks Benefits of using Inline Hooks Benefits of using Tapered hooks. How they are called in Spanish and why you need to know it. I’m sure you’re wondering what is this inline and tapered hook thing, I promise you it’s an interesting topic that you’ll like to know a little bit about. You may already know that the crochet hook has different parts and shapes and according to this they are classified as Inline or Tapered. What is the Point of the Crochet Hook? The point (part 1 in the photo above) of the crochet hook is the part we use to grab the yarn and make the loop. This is also the part that goes inside the stitches to pull the yarn through them. If you examine your hooks in more detail, you will see that they can have the point in two different ways. And also, the shape of the hook and the throat of the needle (part 2 in the photo above) varies from one hook to another. Taking all this into account, we can classify them into two types of hooks: Inline: In this type of crochet hooks, the point is aligned with the rest of the hook. They also tend to have a more pointed tip and a deeper neck. Tapered: In this type of hooks the point is not aligned with the rest of the hook, it is a little inclined. In this case the point is usually more rounded and the throat of the hook is not as deep as in the inline hook. Crochet Hook Types Although there are some differences between them, it is true that it does not influence the final result very much. In other words, your finished project will look the same if you make it with an Inline hook or with a tapered hook. Their differences have more to do with the process and the comfort of the crocheter. Benefits of using an Inline Hook Benefits of using a Tapered Hook According to some crocheters it can help you work faster. It is very useful for working with yarns that easily split. As it has a rounded tip, it does not unravel fibers so easily. According to many crocheters, by using this type of hook you can avoid the pain in your wrist. This is due to the fact that since the throat of the hook is less deep, you have to make a shallower turn when making stitches, unlike the Inline needle which, having a deeper throat, requires you to make a greater turn with your wrist to make each stitch. All these pros and cons are very subjective, which in other words, maybe for other crocheters it works this way and for you it works differently. What I can assure you is that it is much easier to work with slip stitches if you use an Inline hook. It is also true that with time and experience we use the type that we prefer without knowing sometimes why. What they are called in Spanish and why you should know it In Spanish, it is referred to as follows: Alineada: inline No Alineada: tapered And you may wonder why you should know how the hooks are called in Spanish. It’s very simple, if you are learning to crochet patterns in Spanish it is very useful to know this information. It may be the case that in a certain pattern you are advised to use an inline needle, for example, to make the ribbing, since they are made in slip stitches, and it is much easier that way. In Spanish patterns, you will find this term mainly in the section of tips or advice they give you to get a better result. You might also find it in the materials section when they refer to the hooks you will need. Now you know it for when you are crocheting in Spanish and you find these terms that I have taught you. I hope you have found this information useful and that you can now decide which hook is best for you on each occasion, because you don’t always have to use the same type.

5 Tips to improve your Yarn Tension

Leave a Comment / Crochet, crochet tips

Tension, tension, tension… We hear all the time how importance is to get the right tension while crocheting a project. But when we are beginners it is no so easy, right? It was really hard to me when I started learning how to crochet. I think that a lot of people do not get to next step in learning because of tension. What is Tension? In case you still do not know the tension is simply how tight or lose our stitches are when we crochet. This is a briefly explanation so that it is easy for you to understand it. With the correct tension while crocheting all of your stitches are as similar as possible, taking into account that it is something handmade. Although some of us crochet thighter or looser than others we do not always crochet with the same tension. The best way to improve your tension is just practicing. Crocheting more and more your tension will get better and looking alike. Time cures all, my grandma said, and this is not the exception. How to improve your tension while crocheting 1- Hold always the needle in the same way when crocheting a project: The way you hold your needle while crocheting influences the tension in your stitches. I usually hold it a a pencil, but sometimes I hols it as a knife depending on the project. The best thing you can do to get a nice tension is to hold the hook the same way during the whole project, that is what I do. Remember that there is no wrong way to hold the hook. There are several ways to do it. You can watch these videos to learn How to hold your hook when crocheting But, remember that you have to choose the one that feels more comfortable for you. 2- Use the thread in the centre of yarn skein to crochet: Yarn is presented in different ways but it easy to use the ones in the form of a cake. These ones have the particularity of being more stable and it is mor difficult for them to roll around your room. This way, we can crochet in a more comfortable way using the thread in the centre on the cake.That makes our tension looking great. If the yarn that you have it is not presented as a cake you can make it by yourself, you can see this short videos to learn how to do it: How to make your own skein cake and How to crochet with a skein cake. 3- Correct posture when crocheting: Depending on the posture you take when crocheting your tension will be right or not. A wrong posture makes your neck and body hurts and that makes you change your tension too. Chose a comfortable place to crochet and a good posture too. 4- Enviroment and mood also influence in your tension. Your mood influences your tension . If you are stressed your tension changes and also if you are relaxed. It can happens that you start a proyect in a moment you are relaxed and later when you continue it you are stressed and your tension is not the same, it gets thighter sometimes. 5- Hold yarn the right way: We all have different ways of holding yarn and I also show you in a video some ways to do it: How to hold yarn when crocheting. But remember, choose the best option for you. Just take into account that the way you hold yarn influence in your tension. It can be thighter or looser. So, it is really important to hold yarn the same way during a whole project. Practice, practice, practice… Of course, the most important thing to do is practice. You have to crochet a lot to get a good tension in your projects. remember also that your crochet stitches will not look like someone else´s stitches. And inperfection in handmade items is what makes them perfect. I would really like to read your experiences and tips related to tension when crocheting, so, leave me a comment that I always read you.

Easy Crochet Top Varadero is the place where I lived for many years and where my daughter was born. It is one of the best and most beautiful beaches around the world and the one that inspired me to design this crochet top for summer. I left Cuba almost 2 years ago ( in 2018) and I have not been there again. But almost every day I remember that place, the smell and the time we spend together there. All that inspired me to design this crochet top and of course I called it Varadero. It is made with cotton to be cool and comfortable in summer days. I used colors that remember me the sea but you can use any color you like. Crochet Pattern: Pattern is written for different sizes: S, M, L and XL. Also it includes a video tutorial to learn how to make the beatiful stitch I used to make sleeves and ruffle. The pattern is available in my RAVELRY I hope you like it and enjoy as much as I did.

¿What is EASE? And how to call it in Spanish

Leave a Comment / Crochet

What is ease? Ease is the difference between your body measurements and the measurements of a garment. When we talk about ease in crochet or knitting we are talking about the ease that a specific garment has, mainly in sweaters, blouses or tops, cardigans, pants, skirts, but not for shawls or scarves. Different types of ease in a garment 1- Positive Ease: this means that the garment has a measurement larger than your body size. Depending on the amount of cm or inches it has, it will be more or less loose. 2- Zero Ease: this means that the garment has the same size as your body. Therefore, the garment will fit close to your body. 3- Negative Ease: this means that the garment has a smaller size than your body. In this case, it must be elastic enough to fit you well, otherwise, the garment will be too small. Importance of knowing the ease of a crochet or knit pattern When you are going to make a pattern from a designer, you may find that in the final measurements section or somewhere else, she/he will tell you how loose the garment is. It is important to take this into account because this way you will know how loose or tight the garment will fit your body. For example, my Natalia Cardigan pattern has 40 cm of positive ease, which indicates that it is oversized and, therefore, it has a lot of ease. In this pattern, I show you each size for what bust circumference measurement it is and give you the final measurements. But, keep in mind that if you don’t like it so loose, you can perhaps decide to make a size smaller than the one that corresponds to your bust circumference. For example, let’s imagine that your bust circumference is 85 cm, you would be a size 2 (or S). But as it has 40 cm of positive ease, you will be left with a final garment of 125 cm. If you don’t want it so loose, you can see if the rest of the measurements of the previous size, which is size 1, fits you well. In conclusion: when you are going to make a pattern, the ease that it has indicated to you how tight the garment will be, and knowing this is very useful so that you don’t end up with a result that you don’t like. Importance of ease if you are going to design a garment If you are going to create a garment without a pattern, or you are going to design a garment from scratch, you also have to take into account ease. You have to take it into account because if you use only the measurements of your body, and you don’t give it ease it will be tight to the body or small if it is a fabric that is not elastic, if you put too much it will be oversized when maybe it is not the result you want. You must take into account before you start what is the result you want to get and taking it into account decide whether you give positive ease, zero ease or negative ease, and in what amount depending on the result you want to get. Important: -The ease is generally only applied to horizontal body measurements: bust circumference, arm circumference, wrist circumference, etc. – The same amount of ease does not apply to all body measurements, this depends on the design and other factors. If you give 20 cm of ease to the bust you don’t necessarily have to give 5 cm of ease to the arm, unless you want a very wide sleeve, for example. -The thicker the yarn is, the more ease should have, to get a better result. What is ease called in Spanish? In a pattern in Spanish, whether crochet or knit, you will almost always find ease in the case of a garment. Holgura = Ease Holgura Positiva = Positive Ease Holgura Cero= Zero Ease Holgura Negativa= Negative Ease Remember that you can find in the patterns the measurements in centimeters, you only have to divide to know the measurement in inches. 1 inch = 2.5 cm Save this post, you will need it later!

¿What is Gauge and how to call it in Spanish?

Leave a Comment / Uncategorized

I’m sure you have heard about Gauge or Tension (UK Terms) and maybe you have no idea what it is and what it is for. I will tell you about it, I just want you to know how important it is that you always make your gauge swatch before starting a new project. ¿What is Gauge? Gauge or Tension is the number of stitches per inch and rows/round per inch that result from a specified yarn worked with a specific hook. We make it to know if our gauge matches the tension needed for a pattern we are going to make or to create our projects and know how many stitches and rounds/rows we need. How to make Gauge? To make your gauge swatch you need a crochet hook and yarn. Usually, the patterns you get will give you instructions on how to make it, which hooks to use, the recommended yarn, and the stitches you should use to make your swatch. They will also tell you if you need to work it flat or in rounds depending on the garment to be made. In this case, you will make a square of approximately 4 x 4 inches, so that it is large enough to be able to take measurements that are reliable. If you are going to design something or create something without a pattern, you will make a swatch with the yarn you want to use in your project and a hook that you think will go well with your yarn and its weight. Make a 6 x 6 inch square, using the stitch you would like to use in your new project. In both cases, you can change the hook as many times as you need to obtain gauge. If you are making a gauge swatch to make a pattern from someone else, and you don’t get the same gauge, you change the hook until you get it right. And if you are designing something and when working with the chosen hook the result does not have the texture or drape you want, you can also change the hook and make as many swatches as you need until you get the fabric you want. How to measure Gauge? When you have your swatch ready, it is time to take the measurements. The measurements are taken in the central 4 inches of the swatch, so that the result is more accurate. To measure you need to place the swatch on a flat and hard surface, such as a table, and you will use a ruler to measure it, but also a rigid one. You can use some markers or pins to mark the 4 inches and be able to count stitches and rows/rounds better. Now you should measure how many stitches of your gauge swatch fit in 4 in and how many rows/rounds fit in 4 in. Here you have some videos that will help you measure gauge https://youtu.be/JN0Jun-pZYIhttps://youtu.be/dQ67Yau-Ctc How to understand the GAUGE/TENSION section in a pattern in Spanish? In Spanish they call Gauge/Tension as Muestra de Tensión This is the name that appears on the pattern in the gauge section. When you have it done you have to take the measurements and they are given in 10 x 10 cm. It would be the equivalent of 4 in, but they measure it in centimeters. And for the rows or rounds and number of stitches, these are the words used: rows: hileras o filas rounds: vueltas o rondas stitches: puntos SAVE THIS POST If you liked this post and I helped you leave me a comment, you will make me so happy.

¿What is a CAL? How to call in Spanish

Leave a Comment / Uncategorized

I’m sure that like me you’ve been asking yourself this question many times and I’m here to clarify everything for you. CAL is the English abbreviation for Crochet Along. And you want to know what Crochet Along. What is a CAL? It is a group of crocheters, who join virtually to make together the same CROCHET project or pattern. Usually, it is called by the designer of the pattern, although it may not be like that. It is important for you to know that there are many ways to do it, although it is always virtual. Keep in mind that you go at your own pace, you don’t have to go at the pace of the rest of the group. In some CALs the pattern is free, in others it is paid. Some have a deadline to finish and there are open ones, with no deadline. Some have a prize for those who reach the end, and others have no prize. The prizes can range from a gift, a free pattern or even a free lesson. There are some in which you know from the beginning what you are going to make and others that are called MISTERY, in which you don’t know what it will be and it is revealed in parts. In some you get the complete pattern from the beginning, in others they give it to you in sections. You can make the groups on different platforms: Ravelry, Facebook, Telegram Discord, Instagram…. Some make a CAST ON PARTY, others don’t. The designer or the person in charge will always tell you the requirements at the beginning, the start and end date, if there is a prize, where to buy the pattern or if it is free, what platform it will be on and everything else you should know. Benefits from a CAL You crochet in a group, which helps you stay motivated during the process, which is not always easy. If you have any doubt, the designer will be on hand to help you, and not only will he or she be involved, but the rest of the members of the group will be there to help you. You will meet new crocheters and learn from them as much as they learn from you. You will feel supported, especially if you are doing something that is new to you, such as a new technique or a garment construction that you haven’t done before. And last but not least, you will have fun and enjoy yourself. Save this Post for Later Difference between CAL and KAL? KAL is the abbreviation for Knit Along, it is the same as a CAL but for knitting. What does CAL means in Spanish? In Spanish some people say “tejijuntas” for both CAL and KAL. And some other Spanish-speaking crocheters and knitters use CAL and KAL like in English. I hope I was able to help you, if you already knew it was a CAL tell me about your experience with them in comments. If you are on Instagram FIND ME there!!! Have a good crochet time!!!
