Este tempo mais fresco e invernoso desperta o "frenesim tricotadeiro" que há em mim, que se há-de fazer? :) No serão de ontem tricotei este gorro amoroso para a minha Minúscula. Ficam aqui a foto e as instruções, para quem gostar e quiser fazer também. As instruções estão em inglês, porque aqui a nabiça não sabe seguir instruções de tricô em português... Troquei os botões que era suposto pôr nos olhos, por um bordado - mais simples e económico. ;)
