Books
I love Books, reading books, hobby books etc. I have already a collection of knitting books. I was looking on the internet and I saw that there are lots and lots of English Knitting and crochet books… Than I have one thought ‘ I want them, I want them!’
I have to start saving for all the books. I have a look at bol.com I also saw a book of AMIGURUMI I love that sort of crocheting!!!!
The books are in Chinese, but there are lots of pictures, so you will understand the patterns. I only can buy the book on E-bay…. They don’t sell it in Holland.
They don’t sell any nice books about knitting or crochet…
But maybe I find some nice books in Germany in 3 weeks, I also can reed the German language… ( yes I did my school! ) but that was a long time ago… hiihi
Well I am going to crochet now… otherwise my bag is next year not ready!
Love La Silvia

Pin Cushion
This is my last finisht project… It is made by my crochet needle… so no knitting.
Al my needles are a mess. They are in 5 different drawers, I must always search for them, so now I made a Pin cushion To store all my needles!
I also started a new project! A rainbow bag. Also crochet! Special for the summer, al layers have different colors, so the bag will fit with al of my summer clothes! One thing a doubt about is the handgrip. Shall I make it long or short? A have plenty time to think about it, it takes a while to finish the bag.

Mouse pattern
The mouse pattern
You begin with 6 stitches ( in any color you want you’re mouse to be)
Knit 3 rows.
The 4th row you have to change the color.
From the 5th row you are going to make 1 stitch more in the beginning of the row.
You do this now with every row.
Until you have 32 stitches on you’re needles. If you have 32 stitches you stop with making more stitches.
Now you knitting until you have knitted 38 rows.
The 39th needle you knit the stitches 2 to 2, after doing that you have 19 over.
Now knitting normally until row 42.
In the 43th you stitch again 2 to 2
The 45th is the last row. Now you’re mouse is ready! Almost! You have to make the ears and the tale.
Ears:
Make the ears in the same color as the nose.
You begin with 4 stitches
Knit 1 needle.
The second needle you make 1 stitch more ( the 5th needle has now 5 stitches)
You repeat this till you have 8 stitches on you’re needle.
Now you knitting one row more.
The next needle is the last needle you’re knit. Now one ear is ready, you have to knit this one more time.
Tale:
You can crochet the tale… The length is up to you.
Almost done. You can make the eyes with black wool. The ears come right above the eyes. Turn the mouse inside out, and make the 2 parts together.
I really hope
that the translation is all right, It was a little bit hard to do… but I hope
you make with this pattern lovely mousse.
