La Fonda de las Comadres

 
Hello everybody!  
Today I start a new blogging adventure with you and my new and crazy mexican friends. These girls are mexicans whom I have recently met here in Bergen, Norway. 
I moved to Bergen two years ago, and slowly I have been connecting with the Mexican/latino community here in town. Some of the girls I mention I met at the norwegian school where we try to learn this complicated scandinavian language and others I had the chance to meet then dancing in the mexican folk dance group.
Now we are meeting for lunch more or less once a week and we eat delicious real mexican food, almost like eating from your mom's kitchen!!!! And of course, we talk a lot!! We are women, mexican courageous women, and we love to talk, eat with the satisfaction you have eaten more than enough and we have a great time!!  Then we realized that the knowledge we have been acquiring on the secrets of how to make real mexican food with limited supplies here in Norway was something to share and disseminate throughout the web.
Thus the results of these conversations and lunches will be published in my blog (our blog, now), the cooking recipes, the tricks to make it taste just like home, maybe some interesting fact her and there. But obviously since we are not in Mexico and the ingredients used to prepare mexican food are sometimes a great challenge to find, this is the main part of the blog, the "how" to use norwegian available stuff or imported stuff to recreate Mexico.
We present the adaptation of recipes from the world with norwegian ingredients or what is available. Sometimes we will share with you norwegian recipes, very tradicional recipes, that we have also managed to cook and with which I'm sure you can surprise your norwegian friends. And Why not? international recipes!!!


I write the names of my dear friends and now collaborators in the order I met them!!! 

Grecia (Pacific Girl)
Vanessa (Mayan Spirit)
María (Sweet Angel)
Priscilla (Queen of the North)
and me Cecilia (The Soul of The Food)  


Now let's start this adventure!
Nå starter vi dette eventyret!
Ahora empecemos esta aventura!

Barbara's dress

Hello everybody in this post I show you the colaboration that we have done  +Bàrbara Blue and me. We have done what we call Barbara´s dress, and the result was really fantastic, because we unite knitting and sewing confection together. Now I describe step by step how to do the bra... and if you have interest in making the Barbara´s dress or if you only have  curiosity.....you can to visit the +Bàrbara Blue  blogger and you will see the step by step  end of Barbara´s dress there!!!



Above you can see my collaboration in this work!!!!!


She is my friend Barbara a woman whit whom we share different hobbies like salsa dancing, DIY and science! OK!! We start with the step by step!!!!

Size
I made size S-M
If you need a smaller size you can make less chain and if you need a larger size you can add chain.

Material
Katia Yarn: Cotton Stretch.
Hook number 3
Wooden beads for decoration.
Wooden buttoms.
I divide the bra in 4 parts:  
  1.- Cup
  2.- Union of the cups  
  3.- Side wings
  4.- Straps


Cup
Cast on 20 chain stitch



The next turn you make single crochet.
And continue with single crochet..........
You need to make a square.....

You can measure in this form: you can see the picture:
On this picture you can see the perfect square.


When you have the square......
you make in the corner two single crochet on the same hole.....









and coninue with single crochet per hole or single crochet

Now you make many turns......on two sides of square.








Now you have a cup, the three sides are the same size. You need to repeat all the steps of the chest for to you have two cups.








Breasts union

On this step you join the two pieces. You start on one corner to kniting with single crochet and continue until you finish the first cup and later join the other cup whith single crochet and finish the turn and return whit single crochet. 
                                                        corner            join       continue


Make two turn with single crochet and later make two turn of fans.
two single crochet  ⇉
                             
                                                            
                         


When you finish the second turn of single crochet, make 5 chains........ and skip two singles crochets, and on the next hole make two double croche. Followed by this you have one chain, and it continues to make two double crochet on the same hole.

Summary of the previous...... 


Skip two single crochet.
Make two double crochet
One chain.
Two double crochet.
Make two turn of fans.




Side wings
 
 
Do 11 single crochet starting from......where you can see the hook in the picture.
               Single crochet                                                                           




                   11 single crochet        

                                            


Do two turns. And the next turn you make double crochet. The size of the wing depend on your back size.






Straps

Have 3-trc- together and join with one chain. And continue with this pattern, until you have the required size.
Finally, you use the wooden beads and buttons to decorate like do you want!!!!

 
I enjoyed making this project and I hope you like it and have a nice time with this craft!!!! Aquetzallicraft and b.blue!!!!
