My reason d'être

Hello everyone , how are you?
There are people who ask me, if I am a midwife or pediatric nurse , why I'm knitting and crocheting. I am a woman over 45, I have asked for a job here at the Irish Hospitals, and they have not given me a job saying stupid excuses, (here in Ireland I only worked in a dentist lab). I got tired of hearing,no, no, no. Thanks to my grandmothers and my aunt, they taught me crochet and knitting when I was 11 years old. I liked it, and although I do not make money for the moment,I am doing this because I truly believe that it will succeed. I am so passionate about this venture called embartisanknitting and I am completely determined to make it work.
Thanks for reading my blog.

Puntos cruzados en dos agujas

Hola qué tal?
Hoy os voy a explicar sobre los puntos cruzados realizados en dos agujas.
Me lo han pedido varias personas desde mi país España.
Los motivos son múltiplos de 6 puntos más dos puntos de borde.
En el video de mi canal embartisanknitting emb939 de YouTube lo veréis mejor.
Las primeras dos vueltas se hace en punto jersey ( es decir, una vuelta punto derecho y otra vuelta punto del revés). Nota importante : en la primera vuelta el primer punto se teje,el resto de vueltas el primer punto No se teje.
Una vez que has tejido las dos vueltas de punto jersey. Empezamos con la siguiente vuelta con los puntos cruzados. Sé pasa el punto de borde sin tejer. Pasar tres puntos a la aguja auxiliar y los dejas descansar por detrás del tejido. Teje los siguientes tres p. Al dicho. Y luego pasa los tres p. de la aguja auxiliar a la aguja izquierda y los tejes al derecho. Luego vuelve a pasar tres p. A la aguja auxiliar y déjalos descansar por detrás del tejido* , repite todo esto hasta finalizar la vuelta.
Luego haces una vuelta del rev , una vuelta del derecho , una vuelta del revés, y en la siguiente vuelta pasar el primer punto sin tejer, teje los tres primeros puntos al derecho, y ahora pasa tres puntos a la aguja auxiliar y los dejas descansar por delante *   teje los siguientes tres puntos, pasa los tres puntos de la aguja aux. A la aguja izquierda y los tejes al derecho ,repite esto hasta finalizar la vuelta.
Luego se hace otra vez una vuelta de todos los puntos al revés, una vuelta con todos los puntos al derecho, y una vuelta de todos los puntos al revés. La siguiente vuelta se hace el cruce de puntos : un p.s/ tejer, tres puntos a la aguja auxiliar descansar por detrás y así sucesivamente.  Si tienes alguna duda consulta mi video en YouTube ó escribeme en mi grupo embartisanknitting emb de Facebook ó en mi email : embartisanknitting@yahoo.com

The clothes of the newborn needs

Hello everyone,
 I would like to give some small tips for future mums. For 24 years I have been a midwife, and I have crocheted and knitted many newborn clothes.

The clothes of the newborn that needs, this list is indispensable:

Bodysuit, pyjamas, socks, hats ... The baby needs newborn clothes specific to him. Do you want to have everything ready when they are born? I detail here the basics that can not be missed.

The newborn needs a whole series of essentials to meet their needs. In terms of newborn clothes, it is not necessary to have a thousand clothes, but it is important that you do not miss the basic pieces, which are:


• Bodysuit, The bodysuit is the most used clothes with the baby, and it is important to have between 5 and 7 bodysuits of different sizes. It is best that they have fasteners in front and in the crotch, to facilitate the nappy change. It is also convenient to have 5 or 7 shirts and 5 or 7 panties .

• Pyjamas . It is the garment that you will use the most during the first months of the baby. For this reason, it is important that the baby's pyjamas and trousers are comfortable, easy to put on and take off. It is advisable to have between 5 and 7 pyjamas and about 5 trousers, in various sizes.

• Hats. Babies tend to lose more heat by the head, so it is advisable to wear a hat, especially if it is cold. The idea is to have a woollen hat and a cotton hat.

• Socks or booties. The newborn still does not wear shoes, but will use socks or shoes to keep the temperature of the feet. It is also useful to have some mittens.

• Sets for walking. You must have newborn clothes to go for a walk with the baby, something that is recommended to do daily if time allows. To walk, you can dress your baby as handsome as you want, but it is advisable, above all, to be comfortable. To avoid getting cold, you must have a coat or anorak.

• Blanket. A very useful basic if it's a little bit chilly or a little bit fresh, whether you are at home or strolling. Anyway, remember that you must cover the baby accustomed to conditions without too much fuss. You may find it useful to have muslin. One trick to know if the little one is cold is to touch the tip of the nose: if it is cold, you should shelter it more. Instead, if you touch the back of the neck and feel

sweating, you can remove some clothes.

Route to visit my lovely city BARCELONA,Spain

Hello everyone, there are many people who asked me to visit my lovely city Barcelona in a few days. I have planned a route to visit Barcelona in four days.
First of all is that you should always control your belongings. Barcelona is very nice but unfortunately there are pickpockets, they always pick on tourists to steal,so beware!. Please keep this in mind. OK ?
Day 1: Arrival in Barcelona

When you arrive at Barcelona Airport, I recommend that you take the Aerobus, it is much cheaper than taking a taxi, the Airbus will leave you in the Plaza de Catalunya (in the heart of Barcelona (If you want, for this first night I recommend you Here in Montjuic you can visit the Castle, and enter to stroll to eat and drink in the towns of Spain, is a beautiful enclosure that you will be able to see the main monuments of Spain, Also visit theaters in the Parallel.
Day 2: Barcelona: the Gothic Quarter and Paseo de Gracia

Recommended route to visit the Gothic Quarter in the morning with the Cathedral of Barcelona. Then go to the Boqueria Market and eat at ", pinocho", is a bar that I have gone many times. Stroll along Rambla Catalunya and Paseo de Gracia. Visit the Casa Batlló and the Pedrera (works by Gaudí).

In the afternoon recommended itinerary to stroll around El Born visiting the Picasso Museum and the church of Santa María del Mar (Cathedral of the Sea). In the Born I recommend you to see the Station of France (it is a train station that communicates from Barcelona to the rest of Europe), the parc of Ciutadella and the Zoo. Typical restaurants mariners.

Day 3: Barcelona: Las Ramblas and the Sagrada Familia

Morning route recommended by the Ramblas, the Raval and Port Vell. Restaurant recommended in Barceloneta to eat a fantastic paella are the restaurants: "El Sheriff"; "La Gavina" and "El vaso de Oro" In the afternoon visit the Hospital de San Pau and the Sagrada Familia. Later walk around the neighborhood of Gracia.

In the Smart Route you will always have the indications to go from place to place !. This you can ask in your Hotel or in the tourist offices of the city.

Day 4: Barcelona: Park Güell
And if you like football .. visit the two fabulous teams of the city: the Barça "Nou Camp"( Metro/underground Line 5  stop Collblanc, or Line 3 stop Les Corts , or get the Tram. and R.C.D Espanyol Stadium in Cornellá (here you can take bus or Metro/Underground line 5 )
For this last day I recommend you visit the Park Güell, another of Gaudí's great works and visit the Monastery of Pedralbes. If you want more information or other routes, ask me, I'll be happy to help you.
Thanks for asking me this questions.
