How to knit a rhombus

via newstitchaday

I've got loads of ideas for spring but the truth is still winter! I've knitted another wool sweater just in time for the snow (it's snowing like crazy around here)! I challenged myself with an intricate pattern and I also decorated the sleeves. Did you start knitting?
If the answer is yes and you had some time to practise the knit and purl stitch, today it's the time to learn something new: the rhombus stitch. I found this video very clear and I wanted to share it with you. The decoration I made is a modified version of the rhombus.

Anche se la moda ci tenta con i trend primaverili, ahimè è ancora inverno. Ho realizzato a maglia un nuovo maglione dalla trama elaborata. E voi? Avete imparato a lavorare a maglia?

Se avete avuto un po' di tempo per prendere confidenza con il dritto e il rovescio, oggi condividerò con voi lo schema per realizzare il rombo (guardate il video). La decorazione che ho realizzato è infatti una versione modificata del rombo.

Scarf print trousers

Designers: D&G silk trousers - Alberta Ferretti - Prabal Gurund - Thakoon - Gucci


Most of the time trousers are like the plain canvas of our outfit. They're a starting point but they are rarely the outstanding piece of an outfit. They are rarely heavy decorated. All this happened before spring summer 2012 shows took place. Welcome in the season of the patterned trousers.
Fill the wadrobe with these bright colored prints inspired to silk scarves and the awesome part of the outfit will start below the belt.

I pantaloni sono raramente i protagonisti di un outfit. Non importa se colorati o neri, sono un punto di partenza ma raramente distoglieranno l'attenzione dal resto. Questo accadeva prima che avessero luogo le sfilate della primavera 2012. Questa è la stagione dei pantaloni stampati con le fantasie più colorate ed eccentriche ispirate ai foulard. Acquistando questi pantaloni, per una volta la parte migliore del look sarà quella dalla vita in giù.

Dear Joe

Former Congressman Joe Sestak isn't going to run for his old House seat. So what is he running for? My print column is up.

 

The Sunshine State of Mind

California has something in common with the Chester Upland School District. It is about to run out of money. According to the state controller the problem is that tax revenues didn't meet the Gov. Jerry Brown's optimistic projections.

State Sen. Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, who is chairman of the Senate Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review, called the projected shortfall "a very short-term cash-management situation.

"All budgets are, by nature, an educated guess," Leno said.

Makes you wonder where the state legislature of California was educated. Oz?
