What we need....

Тhе anthropologist who studied the habits and customs of a tribe in Africa, and because he was always surrounded by children of the tribe, decided to do something funny between them. He bought a good amount of candy in the city and put them all in one basket decorated with a ribbon, and left the basket under a tree. 

Then he called the children and proposed a game when he said "Now", they should run to that tree and the first who reach the basket would be the winner, and would be able to eat all candies. The children were lined up, waiting for the signal. When he said "Now!" all the children holding hands ran together to the basket immediately. They came together and began to divide the candies, sitting on the floor, eating happily. The anthropologist asked indignantly why they had come together, if only one can win the whole basket?! Then, the children responded: “UBUNTU”, which means: - I am because we are!"  

Lo que necesitamos.... 

Un antropólogo que estudiaba los hábitos y costumbres de una tribu en África, y porque él siempre estaba rodeado de niños de la tribu, decidió hacer algo divertido entre ellos; consiguieron una buena cantidad de caramelos en la ciudad y los pusieron a todos en una canasta decorada con cinta y otros adornos, y luego dejaron la canasta debajo de un árbol. Luego llamó a los ...niños y propuso un juego: que cuando él dijese "ahora", ellos deberían correr hasta aquel árbol y el primero que llegase a la canasta sería el ganador, y tendría derecho a comerse todos los caramelos él solo. Los niños fueron colocados en fila, esperando la señal acordada. Cuando dijo "¡Ahora!" Inmediatamente todos los niños se tomaron de las manos y salieron corriendo juntos hacia la canasta. Llegaron juntos, y comenzaron a dividir los caramelos, y sentados en el suelo, los comieron felices.

El antropólogo fue a su encuentro y les preguntó indignado por qué habían ido todos juntos, si sólo uno pudo haber tenido toda la canasta. Entonces, los niños respondieron: "UBUNTU" significa: - "Yo soy porque nosotros somos!"

Така, както трябва да бъде...

Антрополог, който изучавал нравите и обичаите на едно племе в Африка, винаги заобиколен от деца, решил да направи нещо смешно между тях, купил голямо количество бонбони, сложил ги в кошница с панделка, която оставил под едно дърво.

Тогава той предложил една игра. Когато даде сигнал "Сега", те би трябвало да се затичат до това дърво и който първи да стигне до кошница ще бъде победител и ще има право да изяде всички бонбони. Децата се наредили да чакат сигнала, договорени. Когато той казал "Now!" Незабавно всички деца държащи се за ръце се затичали към коша. Те събрали бонбоните, седнали на земята, започнали да ги  разделят и ядат щастливи. Антропологът ги попитал възмутено защо са се затичали заедно, ако само един би могъл да спечели цялата кошница? След това децата отговорили: „UBUNTU“, което означава: - "Аз съм, защото ние сме!"

Ce qu'il nous faut....
Un anthropologue qui avait étudié les us et coutumes d'une tribu d'Afrique, et parce qu'il avait toujours été entouré par les enfants de cette tribu, décida de faire quelque chose de drôle avec eux.Il alla chercher beaucoup de bonbons à la ville et les mit tous dans un joli panier bien décoré.Il alla poser le panier sous un arbre et appela les enfants : " À mon signal, vous devrez tous vous mettre à courir vers cet arbre. Le premier à atteindre le panier gagnera tous les bonbons pour lui et aura le drt de tous les manger!"Les enfants s'alignèrent et attendorent le signal.Au signal, ils se tinrent tous la main et se mirent à courir ensemble vers le panier.Quand ils arrivèrent au panier, ils se réunirent et commencèrent à manger les bonbons tous ensemble avec une mine réjouïe.L'anthropologue, qui se dirigeait vers eux fût fort surpris en arrivant : "Pourquoi vous êtes-vous mis tous ensemble ??? Vous ne vouliez pas les bonbons pour vous tout seul ???" Les enfants répondirent en choeur : "Ubuntu"; ce qui signifie : "Je suis parce que NOUS sommes !!!

Happy Easter!

Jesus is alive!

To make this chick I used this pattern:

MEASUREMENTS

Chick: 7.5cm/3in tall.

Egg: 12.5cm/5in tall, 7.5cm/3in wide.

MATERIALS:

acrylic yarn in yellow and orange

For each egg you will need:

white and beige yarn

You will also need:

Pair of 3mm needles

TENSION

26 sts and 36 rows to 10cm, measured

over stocking stitch worked with DK on

3mm needles.

ABBREVIATIONS

beg = beginning

dec = decrease (byworking 2 stitches together)

inc =increase (by working into front and back ofstitch)

K = knit

M1 = make one stitch by\passing the yarn over the needle

P = purl

ss = stocking stitch; st(s) = stitch(es)

SKPO = slip one, knit one, pass slipped stitch over

tog = together

           IMPORTANT NOTE

Use 3mm needles throughout and cast on by using the cable (two needle) method, beginning all pieces with a K row. Please also take time to make sure that you are familiar with the correct method of increasing before commencing, otherwise you will find that the number of stitches on your needle will not match those stated in the pattern. ‘Inc 1’ means to increase by working into the front and back of the next stitch, thus making two stitches from one without leaving a hole in the knitting. This technique is sometimes referred to as KFB and is the only form of increasing that I use, so once you have mastered this you will be able to knit any of my patterns with compete confidence.

           TO MAKE UP

Unless otherwise specified, sew seams and join pieces using mattress stitch, working with right side of knitting uppermost. A one stitch knitted seam turning has been allowed on most pieces to accommodate this method. To make chick, first work a gathering thread through every stitch along tail end of body, draw up tightly and fasten off, then join side edges, stopping 2.5cm/1in away from gathered front edge. Stuff body firmly, then join remainder of seam. This seam will run along underside of body. Starting at gathered top point, join side edges of head, leaving base edge open, stuff firmly, then position and sew base edge to body. With knit side outermost, fold each wing in half and oversew open edges together, then position and sew wings to body sides. For each foot, take two strips and hold together in a cross shape with a few stitches, then bend uppermost strip into a V shape to form three toes at front of foot and hold in position with a couple more stitches. Repeat with remaining foot strips, then pin feet in position at base of body, checking that chick stands correctly, sew in place and remove pins. Mark eye positions on head with pins. placing 2 knitted stitches apart. Take a length of Black yarn and carefully draw out a single strand. Use the remaining 2 strands. Original pattern from Alan Dart.
