Ha Long Bay: A Natural Wonder of Vietnam Hidden in the northeast region of Vietnam lies a breathtaking natural wonder known as Ha Long Bay. With its emerald waters and thousands of towering limestone islands, it's no wonder that this destination has become a popular spot for travelers seeking adventure and tranquility. One of the most fascinating aspects of Ha Long Bay is its unique geological formations. The limestone islands, which are topped by lush rainforests, create a stunning landscape that is unlike anything else in the world. Many of these islands have been named after their shapes, such as Stone Dog and Teapot islets, adding a touch of whimsy to the already enchanting scenery. There are plenty of activities to keep visitors entertained in Ha Long Bay. Junk boat tours and sea kayak expeditions are popular ways to explore the area and get up close to the islands. Scuba diving, rock climbing, and hiking are also favorite activities, especially in the nearby Cát Bà National Park, where you can discover the region's diverse flora and fauna. For history enthusiasts, Ha Long Bay has its own share of historical significance. It is believed that the bay has been inhabited by humans for thousands of years, with evidence of ancient fishing communities and archaeological sites. Exploring these remnants of the past can provide a deeper understanding of the region's rich cultural heritage. Architectural enthusiasts will also appreciate the unique architectural features found in Ha Long Bay. The traditional junk boats that have been used for centuries are a sight to behold, with their intricate designs and vibrant colors. These boats offer a glimpse into the past and provide a one-of-a-kind experience for visitors. When is the best time to visit Ha Long Bay? The region experiences a tropical climate, with hot and humid summers and cool winters. The peak tourist season is from October to April when the weather is more pleasant and rainfall is at its lowest. However, visiting during the off-peak season can also have its advantages, as you'll have a chance to experience the bay in a more serene and tranquil setting. Whether you're seeking adventure or simply want to relax and take in the beauty of nature, Ha Long Bay is a destination that should not be missed. Its stunning landscapes, rich history, and unique experiences make it a true gem of Vietnam. So pack your bags and embark on an unforgettable journey to this natural wonder.

Minimalist yet elegant and highly functional wall unit "aedes" was produced by the italian manufacturer amma torino in the 1950s. The name "aedes" is derived from the latin word for "tiger mosquito," known for its distinctive black and white markings, which may be a reference to the unit's metal construction. The characteristic bend in the lower part of the rails also bears a resemblance to the shape of a mosquito's legs. the set includes: two cabinets: h: 58 / w: 76 / d: 40 cm a cabinet and a vitrine: h: 34 / w: 76 / d: 32 cm two shelves, each 28 cm deep metal rails assembly accessories crafted from teak, this wall unit features two impressively spacious cabinets with sliding doors and inner shelves, along with a smaller cabinet and a glass vitrine of the same size. Additionally, it includes two deep shelves ideal for displaying books and decorations. All these features make it an extremely functional and visually well-balanced piece of furniture. With its teak-veneered back, it is completely double-sided, making it suitable for use as a functional room divider. the uprights are made of black-painted curved metal tubing, ensuring excellent durability and longevity, while adjustable brass feet provide stability on uneven floors. The genius of its design lies in its modularity; the aedes collection is entirely modular, allowing for easy customization. All shelves and cabinets are movable and can be placed higher or lower. The slots, positioned at regular intervals (each 8 cm), enable intuitive assembly and expansion of the bookcase with additional sections. the bookcase has been fully renovated. It is in excellent condition, with only minimal traces of use consistent with its age. We have ensured that all mechanisms work properly and smoothly. The wood has been carefully preserved. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs, designer records, or other literature sources and take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising from misattribution less
I've finally decided to write up my Hobbes pattern and instead of selling it I'd like to give it to you for free. The reason he is free is because the creator of Calvin and Hobbes, Bill Watterson did not want to commercialize his work so keeping that in mind Please don't sell this pattern and don't sell the completed work. I feel that part of enjoying Calvin and Hobbes is also respecting the man who created it. So this pattern is offered to people who want to make Hobbes for themselves or a loved one. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I originally made this up for my son because of his love for Hobbes (he's 23 now) I armed myself with Watterson's brilliant drawings as a reference. I made this pattern to look as close as possible to the Hobbes' drawings . I realized that Hobbes could be broken down into basic shapes. His head is really just a fat cylinder, his arms, legs and body are really just cylinders with stripes on them. He also had the muzzle of a cat so I looked to the famous Amineko cat. And despite what it looks like that muzzle is just an unstuffed, flattened cylinder too. Once I got the shapes down I worked on size. I had to make sure that each part was in the right proportion to each other. It was actually quite fun and challenging to create a 3D yarn toy from a 2D drawing. Until I started making him I never realized how different Hobbes looks from a regular cat. His head and body are a lot longer than an normal cat plus he has the shortest fattest legs. That caused me problems since tubular legs and arms don't want to bend. And if he can't bend then he can't sit which means he couldn't sit under trees waiting for Calvin to bring him to life. So I compromised a bit by not stuffing the upper parts of his arms and legs. Not exactly perfect but the best that I could do. I hope you enjoy making him and I'd love if you left comments! If you do make him please let me know. Also please credit me as designer and include a link to this post when you do post pictures. Resources: There are a lot of sites that have tutorials for making jogless stripes. Hooks and Needles.... color stripe tutorial NeedleNoodles.......jogless stripes Pattern notes You will need: Hook size: 4.5mm Worsted weight yarn in orange, black and white (less than a 100 g ball each). Black felt for eyes, nose and 2 stripes A small strand of embroidery Darning needle stuffing All stripes (except 2 on top of head) are made by changing colours in the pattern. Please note that you will be working in the round. Also note that at the end of each round you will slip stitch to join and chain 1. This will minimize jogless stripes (see above resources). Head: Using orange yarn (1) 6 sc into magic loop, tighten loop (6 st) (2) [2 sc in each stitch ] (12 st) (3) [1sc into the 1st sc, 2 sc into the next sc] 6 times (18 st) (4) [1sc into each of next 2 sc, 2 sc into the next sc] 6 times (24 st) (5) [1sc into each of next 3 sc, 2 sc into the next sc] 6 times (30 st) (6) [1sc into each of next 4 sc, 2 sc into the next sc] 6 times (36st) (7) [1sc into each of next 5 sc, 2 sc into the next sc] 6 times (42 st) (8) [1sc into each of next 6 sc, 2 sc into the next sc] 6 times (48st) (9) Work even (48 st) Now you start on the black stripes at the back of his head. When you switch back and forth between black and orange you will have to fasten off each colour. This will result in a lot of ends...I didn't weave them in since they are tucked inside his cute head but that decision is up to you. But don't worry...this is the only part of the pattern where this happens. (10-11) make 16 sc in orange then 32 sc in black (48 st) (12) work even in orange (13-15) Same as rows (10-12) (16-17) make 16 sc in orange then 32 sc in black (48 st) The rest of the head is worked in orange only. (18-21) work even (48 st) (22) [1sc into each of next 6 sc, 2sc decrease] 6 times (42st) (23) [1sc into each of next 5 sc, 2sc decrease] 6 times (36 st) (24) Work even (25) [1sc into each of next 4 sc, 2sc decrease] 6 times (30st) (26) Work even (27) [1sc into each of next 3 sc, 2sc decrease] 6 times (24 st) (28-30) Work even, fasten off leaving long yarn to sew head on. Stuff head Muzzle: Do not stuff! In white (1) 6 sc into magic loop, tighten loop (6 st) (2) [2 sc in each stitch ] (12 st) (3) [1sc into the 1st sc, 2 sc into the next sc] 6 times (18 st) (4) [ 2 sc in first st, 1 sc in next 5 stiches] 3 times (21 st) (5-18) work even (19) [2sc decrease , 1 sc in next 5 st] 3 times (18st) (20) [1 sc in next st, 2sc decrease] (12 st) (21) decrease in every stitch (6st) (22) decrease in every stitch (3 st). If you rather you can skip this last row and sew the hole up with yarn instead. Fasten off leaving enough yarn to sew muzzle to head. Ears (Make two) These are just 2 triangles In black (1) 4sc into magic loop (4 st) (2) increase in every st (8 st) (3) [1sc into each of next 3sc, 2sc into the next sc] (10 st) (4) [1sc into each of next 4sc, 2sc into the next sc] (12 st) (5) [1sc into each of next 5sc, 2sc into the next sc] (14 st) (6) work even Fasten off and leave enough yarn to sew to head. Hand press them to look like ears Putting the details on. The eyes, nose and stripes on the top of his head are all made of felt. Use the picture for placement...pin everything on first so you can make sure that it all looks good. Take your time with this part. This is the most important part of the whole pattern...it's what makes your stuffed toy become Hobbes. I take a picture of it ...that helps me a lot. All the felt pieces are hand sewn on with thread, the muzzle is sew on with yarn. Sew the nose onto the muzzle and add a couple of embroidery lines below the nose, Put some stuffing behind the muzzle piece and sew onto head. Sew the eyes on about the same level as the bottom stripe. Sew on ears and 2 stripes using picture as help. Body: Starting from bottom up. In orange (1) 6 sc into magic loop, tighten loop (6 st) (2) [2 sc in each stitch ] (12 st) (3) [1sc into the next first sc, 2 sc into the next sc] 6 times (18 st) (4) [1sc into each of next 2 sc, 2 sc into the next sc] 6 times (24 st) (5) [1sc into each of next 3 sc, 2 sc into the next sc] 6 times (30 st) (6) [1sc into each of next 4 sc, 2 sc into the next sc] 6 times (36st) (7) [1sc into each of next 5 sc, 2 sc into the next sc] 6 times (42 st) (8) work even (9-10) using black work even (11-12) using orange work even Continue working rows 9-12 until you have a total of 6 stripes of each colour. (33) in black [1 sc in next 5 st, 2sc decrease] 6 times (36 st) (34) work even (35) in orange work even (36) [1 sc in each of next 4 st, 2sc decrease] 6 times (30 st) (37-38) in black work even (39) In orange [1 sc in each of next 3 st, 2sc decrease] 6 times (24 st) Fasten off Legs (Make 2) In white (1) 6 sc into magic loop, tighten loop (6 st) (2) [2 sc in each stitch ] (12 st) (3) [1sc into the next first sc, 2sc into the next sc] 6 times (18 st) (4) [1sc into each of next 2sc, 2sc into the next sc] 6 times (24 st) (5-9) work even (10-11) in black work even (12-13) in orange work even Repeat rows 10-13 until you have 4 stripes of each colour Fasten off leaving enough orange yarn to attach to body. Arms Make 2 Work the same as the legs but skip row 9. Also at the end, do another row of 10 and 11 of black. Fasten off and leave enough black yarn to sew arms onto body. Tail: starting from the tip of the tail In black (1) 6 sc into magic loop, tighten loop (6 st) (2) [2 sc in each stitch ] (12 st) (3) [1sc into each of next 5 sc, 2 sc into the next sc] 2 times (14 st) (4-5) work even in orange (6-7) work even in black Repeat Rows 4-7 until you have 13 orange stripes and 13 black stripes Then add another stripe of orange (rows 4-5) Fasten off and leave enough orange yarn to sew to body. Belly Band (oval) Don't get scared off this section His tummy patch is simply an oval. If you know how to make one then just skip this section totally. In reality ovals are very simple...(it's the written instructions that make them seem complicated to make especially as you add new rounds.) All the increases in an oval are at the ends. The straight sides have no increases. I'll give you written instructions for the first round since it is easy, then I'll show you visually where the increases go for the next rounds Ch 16 in white Round 1: Remember to mark your first stitch with marker Starting in 2nd chain from hook sc 14, 3sc in last st. Rotate work around and start working on other side of chain. Sc 13, make 2sc in last st. Now look at this drawing: I've drawn out 4 ovals that represent the four rounds The red arrows represent where the increases occur. You should note 2 things 1-The number of increases stay the same during each round (3 extra increases at each end for a total of 6 increases) 2- There is one increase that always stays in the same place and the other two take 'steps' away from this centre increase. It's like they are getting mad at the bossman and the longer they are with him the further they want to be from him. In Round 1 all three increases were in the same stitch. (at each end) They were friends. Now for the rest of the rounds Round 2: Notice that the two side increases have moved away from the centre increase. They now are 2 stitches down from it (separated by a sc) So what you are going to do is first mark the centre stitch at both ends. Just do it by eye. Now count down 2 stitches on both sides and that is where your side increases will go. Do that also for the other end. Now crochet that row putting increases only in those places. (6 in total) Every other stitch will be worked evenly..don't forget to put a sc in between those increases. Round 3: Again mark your two centre stitches...count down 3 stitches on both side...that is where your increases go. Every other place gets a sc. Round 4; Mark your two centre stitches...count down 4 stitches on both side...that is where your increases go. Every other place gets a sc For me 4 rounds fit Hobbes nicely but if you want it larger just continue moving those side increases down a stitch for each round. Putting the body together Stuff the body and sew on the belly band. Stuff the arms and legs but only stuff the joint area lightly as you want to make him bendable. Use yarn to sew on the appendages. Sew head onto body adding stuffing if needed. Pick him up, give him a hug!
