Los Retos de Lu<\/h3>\n

My name is Lucia<\/strong> and I like challenges. I\u00b4m from Toledo, but live in A Coru\u00f1a in northern Spain where I came to study architecture -my first challenge- and I stayed out of love. I consider myself to be a restless spirit and also the queen of organisation. I\u00b4m passionate about social networks, stamp collecting, photography, shoes and cooking.<\/p>\n

Being a clothing designer was my second challenge. Thanks to my brand Peka\u00b4s World<\/strong><\/a>, there were numerous collections, a prize for Best Fashion Creator, fashion shows, showrooms… Afterwards I opened Como Molo<\/strong><\/a>, the first craft centre in my town dedicated to DIY, and that\u2019s how I started the marvellous challenge of teaching other people. My last challenges are called M\u00f6U<\/strong>, a small collection of bags which I feel very proud of, and M\u00f6u dolls, surgery and more<\/strong>, dedicated to the \u00b4surgery\u00b4 of Blythe <\/strong>dolls.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Of course, I also like to propose challenges to knitters on social networks. This gave rise to Los Retos de Lu<\/strong> and the hashtag #retofinde<\/strong> on Instagram<\/strong><\/a>: every weekend you learn something new, we knit a common project together and link up to create friendships. Thanks to Los Retos de Lu<\/strong> I\u00b4ve discovered that I\u2019m capable of inspiring many people all over the world…<\/p>\n

Inside out (side in) Jumper<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\u00a0Design by Luc\u00eda Ruiz de Aguirre<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This jumper is an easy project without any seams. It is knitted integrally with circular needles<\/strong> which include a cable. The jumper is started at the back; the neckline opening is worked, then the front, and finally after knitting a space big enough to make the armhole openings, the body is knitted in one piece<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The jumper is one size<\/strong> due to it being oversize<\/em>, and spans all sizes from approximately 6 \u2013 16 (U.K. sizing)<\/strong>.\u00a0The seamless design<\/strong> means that the jumper<\/strong> is reversible<\/strong>, so it can be worn with either the right side or the wrong side on the outside.<\/p>\n
