Beautiful designs

TRy right clicking within the pattern text area (make sure you're not over a picture otherwise you only get info for the pic). Then I click on 'Properties' and copy the address (tho I guess you could select to save it to your favorites). Then goto your favorite translator, for example, http://babelfish.altavista.com/. Insert the copied url and viola! a really funky translation. You'll have to struggle with the words in the pictures.

 

This is the link to Debardeur #1 that I got by right clicking and copying the url from the properties.

Dear Fellow Crochetters,

 

The Gilet n 9 pattern is actually in Portuguese. The French woman is only trying to explain the pattern to a French audience. She explains that her portuguese is not very good but has some tidbits that she translates that should help understand the Portuguese pattern.

 

FYI: I don't speak French but work at a school that has two French instructors.

 

Hope that helps, now I'm trying to find a Portuguese translator

[regiina]

I'm portuguese.

 

I can try to translate it to english

[Marlene]

That would be great! Let us know how it goes.

 

 

Best,

Here's the translation from the portuguese (Gilet n.º 9)

Join these circles with the part set aside using slip stiches, aligning it with the 2 central circles of the first part (back's vest)

Do the other sleeve.

Wonderful job translating! I had printed this pattern out, all the diagrams and everything, will add your translations to it now.

 

And while I'm at it (since I never seem to find a chance to make it to the Intro area, alas) to both you and Marlene (and also to our Russian gal, Wild Wind, who has been helping with translations from the Russian pattern site)! We are truly becoming an international group here. :hook I am soooo thrilled!

 

(sorry for mis-spelling your name Marlene - that's what happens when I don't have enough coffee in me yet!)

I saw that one.

 

A little too complex for my ability though.

Is it my perception only that European clothing designs (crocheted) tend to be a great deal more intricate than North American ones.

I wonder if it's a life-style thing:

we have a lot of "make-it-quick" designs.

I am thinking about this one:

Debardeur No1

For some reason I can't copy the url

I was able to copy the picture, but I am not sure that is ok.

I so agree with you! I don't know if it's about life styles, patience or mare fashion tastes but I rarely find patterns I find interesting in American magazines and web sites (as opposed to Russian and Italian ones), the whole "quick and easy" stuff make me want to scream

 

 

 

 

...

 

Anyway...

I just wanted to say that...

the site has moved out!

the adress is now

http://www.univers-du-crochet.com/index_1.htm

and...

 

if you need a translator, I can try to help, as I am French (although I'm not very good at reading instructions in English...)

I can't seem to find the patterns or diagrams for any of them.What am I supposed to click on? Please help? Happy New Year I don't know any french at all.

[Sylviaf]

I decided to read some of the forum entries. Even if you can't read French, they are very pretty and lively to look at.
