Hello my dear needleworkers, how good to be able to meet in a new Monday of needle and a lot of creativity. Today I am very excited because I bring you a post something different than usual. Although I already feel much better, I have not been able to go out to buy materials for my projects. But I have tried that this is not an impediment to continue sharing with the community every Monday.
Sin embargo, está manta es muy sencilla de elaborar. Se trata de una manta elaborada a partir de un cuadrado granny. Como ya les he dicho antes, los granny son muy versatiles; se prestan para todo tipo de proyectos.
Today I'm going to show you a project that I drew up while we were in quarantine last year. It was three months without being able to leave so I had enough time to weave and unweave. I do not have images of the step by step because at that time my blog did not exist yet. However, this blanket is very simple to make. It is a blanket made from a granny square. As I have told you before, granny are very versatile; They lend themselves to all kinds of projects.
Puedes hacer una manta o frazada tan grande como quieras, solo debes ir agradando vueltas hasta que alcances el tamaño deseado.
La mía es una manta de tamaño mediano ya que me fue imposible comprar más material debido a la situación de cuarentena.
La verdad me gustó mucho tejerla y les cuento que mientras la tejía escuché varios audiolibros muy interesantes. El resultado me encantó, es una manta que abriga muy bien a pesar de que tiene un tejido suelto y la uso en invierno para cobijar mis piernas mientras estoy tejiendo gorros y bufandas.
Such is the case with this simple and colorful blanket. To make it, I just have to follow the pattern of a basic granny square like the one I show you below.
You can make a blanket or blanket as big as you want, you just have to go pleasing turns until you reach the desired size.
Mine is a medium size blanket as I was unable to buy more material due to the quarantine situation.The truth is I really liked knitting it and I tell you that while knitting it I listened to several very interesting audiobooks. I loved the result, it is a very warm blanket even though it has a loose knit and I use it in winter to shelter my legs while I am knitting hats and scarves.
The novelty of this post is that I want to share a poem that I wrote some time ago. It seemed appropriate to present it together with the blanket because they have a very special connection. I hope you like to know another of my passions such as poems. Thanks for reading, greetings and Blessings.
Paciencia de Artesana
Con paciencia de artesana
va tejiendo entre sus manos ese sueño.
Teje y teje con sus dedos
Con paciencia de artesana
va tejiendo fantasía
con madejas de colores se imagina que algún día.
Teje y teje y la lana desanuda
mientras teje una esperanza
a su alma la desnuda.
Ella teje una ilusión,
una manta suavecita que le abrigue el corazón
que ha quedado destrozado por el frío de su adiós.
Teje y teje la mantita mientras piensa en su amor,
El hilo rojo que los une hecho se ha vuelto una maraña.
Pero ella con sus manos lo desata
pues aún confía en el mañana.
Y la manta crece y crece con el pasar de los años.
La aguja se desgasta,
la lana ya se acaba
pero sus sueños intactos
como intacta su paciencia de artesana.
Es mejor que sea muy grande
que los abrigue a los dos
pues ella está convencida,
que el hilo rojo algún día se acortaría
los nudos ya no existirían
y se arroparían ambos con la mantita tejida,
Destejiendo los misterios,
que les esconde la vida.
Preguntándose porque los une y los separa.
A ella no le importa esperarlo de un siglo entero
pues ya saben,
ella teje sus sueños con paciencia de artesana.
With the patience of an artisan
she is weaving that dream between her hands.
Weaves and weaves with your fingers
With the patience of an artisan
is weaving fantasy
with skeins of colors imagines that one day.Weaves and weaves and the wool unravels
while weaving a hope
naked her soul.
She weaves an illusion
a soft blanket to warm your heart
that she has been destroyed by the cold of her goodbye.Knit and knit the blanket while she thinks of her love,
The red thread that unites them has become a tangle.
But she unleashes it with her hands
she because she still trusts tomorrow.And the blanket grows and grows over the years.
The needle wears out
the wool is already running out
but her dreams intact
as intact her patience as an artisan.It better be very big
that shelters you both
because she is convinced,
that the red thread would one day be shortened
the knots would no longer exist
and they would both wrap themselves with the knitted blanket,Unweaving the mysteries,
that she hides life from them.
Wondering why she brings them together and separates them.
She doesn't mind waiting for a whole century
Well, you know
she weaves her dreams with the patience of an artisan.
