KnitPro

knitPro is a free web application that translates digital images into knit, crochet, needlepoint and cross-stitch patterns. Simply upload jpeg, gif or png images and knitPro will generate a graph sizable for any fiber project. knitPro digitally mimics the tradition of pre-industrial craft circles who freely shared patterns and passed them down from generation to generation.

Mountain air helps curing the whooping cough

We took a trio to the mountains. High altitude can help curing the whooping cough our boys have now. We were lucky since there was an eco fair with local producers of vegetables and cheese, wooden and felted products and some homemade sweets.

is there something for us?
