Cross over wrap: Emma
In this cross over wrap pattern, the instructions tell us to wrap and turn the last 13 stitches to add some extra fabric or some and give the back side of the wrap a snug fit.
Basically there are 2 ways someone can use short rows: either to give the piece an extra fabric and snug shape or to change the pattern directions.
Working a sequence of short rows throughout the piece shapes the top part of back and front of this piece.
Short rows are used to give shape to socks heels but also if you are knitting a piece; a sweater, and you want to add a little bit of extra fabric in the back and around the neck to give it a more rounded shape, short rows is a very handy solution.

Holiday!!!
I'm heading for St. Simon, on a very well deserved holiday! Despite of being only a few days, I am planning on doing absolutely nothing but chat with friends, drink, eat and enjoy the sand and the ocean…
I packed 2 shorts, one outfit for a night-out with the girls, one-piece bathing suit, a couple of bikinis and tons of sunblock (100). I am literally addicted to sunblock, specially on my face.
Time to get my feet up and just relax….
Bye!!!

Conquering my fear of the sewing machine
So I decided to attach a lining to the other side of the scarf. For this, I ended up buying a very soft jersey knit and I sewed up to the scarf with the help of a sewing machine. Yeap!!! Hard to believe but last time I used one, I was in my teens!
I loved the end result and I am glad I haven’t attempted to hand-stitch the whole thing. The sewing machine confrontation was a sort of an obstacle that I had to overcome but now I got excited and want to sew more…Let’s say…a hem!!! (*smile)
culprit of all fears

Spring flowers
I decided to learn how to crochet. Inspired by so many talented women whose patience and camaraderie make this world of the (www) so amazing.
There is a lady in Germany, who freely and kindly posts all these videos tutorials on You Tube teaching how to crochet and knit.
Her work is so beautiful and even not speaking a word of German, I am able to follow her directions and actually even join the flowers by looking up the graphic one of her followers designed.
Great tutorial for someone interested in learning crochet techniques or if you just want to take a curiosity peek:
