Depois de ter visto vários instrumentos destes aqui e além, um dia o H. chegou a casa com um para me oferecer... sem saber sequer que eu andava a ler sobre isto! E este veio directamente da Holanda, o que ainda o torna mais especial!
O meu plano inicial foi começar um cordão e nunca mais acabá-lo! Talvez um dia me surgisse uma ideia para ele e as suas centenas de cores. De seguida surgiu a ideia de criar uma manta... só que algures comecei a olhar para o fio que se ia formando e a achar que daria um colar de inverno muito aconchegante... E lá colar se tornou.
Entretanto, numa pesquisa que fiz há pouco, encontrei a Nia, da Caixinha de Pirlimpimpim, que está a fazer um tapete... O tapete dela é lindo, e dá-me vontade de começar uma manta a sério!
Para quem nunca experimentou aconselho vivamente. É super fácil de usar e viciante! Se quiserem fazer um em vez de comprar têm um tutorial aqui. E se precisam de uma explicação basta virem aqui e verão como é simples!

After seeing several objects like this one here and there, one day he arrived home with one to offer me! It was a big surprise because he did't even knew I was researching about it. This one came directly from The Netherlands and that make's it even more special.
In the beginning my plan was to make a cord that would never end. Maybe one day it might appear a brilliant idea for it and its many colors. Afterwards I decided to make a bed quilt... but in the middle of the process I started looking at it and began to think it would give a beautiful winter necklace... And necklace it is!
Meanwhile, I found Nia, from Caixinha de Pirlimpimpim, who's making a gorgeous carpet! ...Which makes me want to start my real bed quilt!
For those who never tried it I tell you 'Do try'! It's super easy and completely addictive! If you want to make one instead of buying here's a tutorial. And if you need an explanation just visit this page and you'll see how easy it is!
