Ha umas semanas atras, eu encontrei numa das lojas de artigos em segunda mao do <i>Salvation Army</i> uma maquina de fazer massas e, como a ainda nao tinha usado, decidi fazer massa fresca pela primeira vez.<br />
Segui a receita simples para fazer a massa, apenas com farinha e ovos, e depois as instrucoes passo a passo. Nao foi dificil e a minha familia adorou!<br />

<i>This challenge was all about trying something new. A while back I found a pasta machine at a Salvation Army store, and this seemed like the perfect time to try my hand at making fresh pasta for the first time.</i><br />
<i>I followed the simple recipe, just flour and eggs, and then the step by step instrctions.

Eu tinha aqui um par de meias ate ao joelho com os pes ja muito usados, mas com a parte da perna em boas condicoes, e decidi po-las a bom uso. Fiz um gato para o meu filho mais novo e um brinquedo para as minhas gatas. E ainda me sobrou uma meia. :)<br />

Apesar da minha longa ausencia, estive sempre a tricotar e a fazer outras coisas mais. Um inicio complicado deste ano de 2014 deixou-me um pouco recatada, mas espero agora estar de volta.<br />
<br />
Aqui ha umas semanas, a minha amiga Ruth ensinou-me a tingir la usando corantes alimentares. Para que a cor pegue e necessaria a presenca de acidez. Ha aqui a venda uns pacotinhos de po para fazer refresco (Kool Aid), aos quais e necessario adicionar acucar e agua para preparar. Contem, entre outros ingredientes, acido citrico e corante e assim sao faceis de usar para principiantes.<br />
Estas cores foram a minha primeira tentativa; usei Black Cherry e Ice Blue Raspberry Lemonade. Dividi ao meio um novelo Lion Brand Fisherman's Wool na cor Natural.<br />
<br />
<i>Hello!</i><br />
<i>Despite my long absence I didn't stop knitting and doing other things. A complicated start to this year of 2014 left me with the need to withdraw, but I hope to be back now.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>A few weeks ago, my friend Ruth taught me how to dye yarn using food dyes. For the color to stick you need acidity. The Kool Aid drink mix packets contain both the food coloring and citric acid and so easy to use for beginners.</i><br />
<i>This was my first attempt at dyeing; I used Black Cherry and Ice Blue Raspberry Lemonade. I divided a ball of Lion Brand Fisherman's Wool (in the color Natural) in half.</i><br />

O unico que eu falhei foi o numero 18-Shiny, Shiny. Assim, aproveitei o facto de ter que decorar um ornamento de papel para onde trabalho, e utilizei cola com particulas brilhantes de varias cores para o colorir. Acho que ficou muito festivo. :)<br />
<br />
<i>In this last challenge we could revisit any of the previous ones from this year. The only one I missed was number 18-Shiny, Shiny. And so, since I had to decorate a paper ornament to decorate at work, I used glitter glue to color it. I think it turned out very festive. :)</i><br />

Eu tinha planeado fazer ornamentos de Natal em forma de boneco de neve, usando pompoms brancos, mas como nao correu bem fui em busca de outra ideia. E fiz uma caravana de Natal em papel que encontrei no site <a href="http://www.paper-toy.fr/">Paper Toy</a>.<br />
<br />
<i>The theme were the many holiday celebrations from this time of the year. I had plans to make some cute snowman ornaments using white pompoms, but since it wasn't working at all I went in search of another idea. And so </i><i>I made a paper Christmas caravan that I found at the <a href="http://www.paper-toy.fr/">Paper Toy</a> site.</i><br />
