creativity in other languages
Do you check out blogs in other languages? If you don't, why not? I used to scroll through them, looking at the lovely pictures. But then I noticed Google Translate and decided to give it a go. I do try to read the French blogs but if the posts are wordy I get lazy and hit "translate"!
These are some of my favourite non-English, creative blogs:
Bead and Crochet Diary (Turkish) has lots of beautiful bead jewellery and crochet.
Over at Handmade Without Mind (Russian), Deros has lots of lovely embroidery.
I love the colourful crochet at Karin aan de haak (Dutch).
At Subhan'llah (French) you'll find gorgeous knits, some crochet and links.
Mam'zelle Flo (French) crochets, knits and paints beautifully.
Ptites Mimines (French) is full of all sorts of craft, including kid craft!
And there are those clever folk that blog in more than one language:
Lots of crocheted jewellery at Ne Vous Installez Pas
Julia Vaconsin is a crochet designer who knits and sews too!

I often do the same as you, just look at the pictures but you have a point there. What good is a 'translate' button if you never use it ?
I will try it out and hopefully open a whole new world of creativity.

Oooh I feel like I've just been on holidays :-) That's a great idea and I loved the crochet jewelery...thanks for the links!
Using google translate to break the language barrier is a good idea. and thanks for these wonderful links.
Even I spend a lot of time just admiring the work of crocheters who blog in other languages. I have made a doily based on a Russian design. But this one was accompanied by a detailed diagram. so did not have any trouble what so ever in interpreting the design.

Thank you! I love finding links to great new blogs. I do use the translate button...found that I could read some beautiful Vietnamese blogs that way.
Hi again. I just popped by to check your address so that I can add a link back to you. I have now finished my version of your hex jacket and am away to blog about it now. Thanks for the inspiration.
