Faster than expected...

a new entry and pictures. It seems, that it is the card reader, but in between I connected the camera directly and this works at the moment.

So here are the finished projects:




Rosengarten 'Rosegarden' (for my Moms birthday)
Roman Rib (C. Schurch, 'Little Box of Socks')
Linenmixture from Kirsten 'Handgefaerbt'





Chrysopolis
Pattern and Yarn Garn (Merino-Lace) from Monis Klabauterwolle


Another pair of sneaker-socks has been finished yesterday, but at the moment there is no picture. I will hand it in later.

As I wrote yesterday, the 'Sanfter Engel' will become Moms Christmas present. I stopped at the half:



And later I will continue SBM1, here is the picture after the fourth clue:




New yarn moved in. From Anett/Selavi


And then I couldn't resist when Sheepaints announced Jewel-Colours and a new quality (Bamboomo).


Incidentally this is also at the moment my motto, although there was this 'Who-are-you-and-what-have-you-done-with-the-German-soccer-team"-Match on Thursday. I hope, the guys will not become (much more) careless and change their mind, so it will be a much more better match tomorrow.

Sign of life

Unfortunatly today absolutly without pictures, because at the moment I'm not able to get the pictures from the camera to the PC. Now I have to find out, if it's once again a PC-problem or one of the reader

So now short (the kitchen is waiting):

The shawl for my mothers birthday will become a Christmas present.
But I knitted her a pair of sneaker-socks plus some Swiss Franc, and she was very happy.
Chrysopolis has been finished today.
Slow Bee Mystery 1 is now at Clue four. I will continue tomorrow and hope to finish soon five and six to be again up-to-date.
PiF (Pay-it-forward) is nearly finished. Gesche got it personally, the sendings for Bianca and Judith will leave on Monday.

Have a nice Sunday!

It's the weather

The early summer is back, I spend a lot of time outside and not in front of my PC here. But of course I also collect photos to show them at once.

New arrivals since the last entry:

A bit from the Wolldrachen...



From the Woll-Lust (I plan to knit birthday scarfs for my girls at the company)...


From Jannette two other lace-yarns...


And last but not least a new fantastic lace-yarn from Schneeschaf...



From the socks-front I have to report this:


Kuramanthi
C. Schurch 'The little box of socks' -Faceted Rib Socks-
Handgefaerbt Summersubscription 2007


And new 'Colores'



And even the timeconsuming projects grow:

Slow-Bee-Mystery 1 after Clue 3



Chrysopolis after part 7



Both projects are in a break now. The reason: My Mom 'complaint' on mothersday, that she has so many beautiful scarfs and shawls from me, but all are only winterproof. And so I startet yesterday, after receiveing the neccessary materials, this project and I hope, I can finish it until Sunday.

I named it 'Sanfter Engel' (gentle angel) after a dessert in restaurants, which contains Orangejuice and vanilla ice cream. The colours of the yarn match perfect to this name.





So, now I have to make a little Weekend-Shopping and then I will go to the balcony.
I wish you all a nice weekend!

Rainy day 2

And of course the needles were busy, too. At the moment I'm shawl-crazy. So I started with a fantastic yarn from Klabauterwolle (where I also bought the instruction) Chrysopolis. Ein great summer project and yesterday in the evening I finished Clue five, I think and I'm in the middle of the 6th. This will be a present for a dear friend.


Furthermore I registered for several KALs. Not only Slow Bee Mystery 1 and 2, as well as Anna Delvi was luring with the Mystic Meadows KAL. Slow Bee 1 started on Whit Sunday and the first clue has been finished. The yarn colour is that on the first two pictures, not so bright as on picture three. The beads arrived in time and are beautiful drops in the knitting.




Today clue two came out and has been printed.

And then there was also Motherdays. My mother received again socks, she liked them very much.

I wish you all a nice weekend!

Rainy day 1

The nature is happy about a rainy day, but I hope, it will be finished tomorrow. Some dear friends will visit us and we want to show them really beautiful things.

It's a long time ago, that I really wrote, but the weather was so fine over a long time so I spend a lot of time outside, often on the balcony but also two times at the waterside of the Duemmer Lake while Arne was surfing.

Of course some nice things arrived during that time. I'm not showing everything, I didn't make photos of everything and in between some things are in the closet now.

My first purchase at Jannettes Rare Yarns:


In between a second followed... She has so many nice things. Both yarns will be used for me. The 'Jaeger' is so nice and has a good running lenght, I hope to find an instruction for a summer top.

Then there came a bit spring from the Schneeschaf


One day I had a nice visit from Hamburg, the dear Gesche. And of course I wanted to show her the Woll-SB-Market. To shop there with a woollover is dangerous But the Angora yarn was a real bargain: 1 EUR per 25g so I took every ball from that colour that was there. This will be a cuddle shawl. For me!



At Sheepaints there was something new to try:

Meribam. G E N I O U S !!!

And Handgefärbt is of course also there, special offers at Kirsten are very dangerous:

Dreamdays

Sun
My balcony
Afternoons at the Lake
Asparagus
Strawberrys

Life is really fun at the moment with such a weather. However this means also, that in a few minutes i will go back to my balcony, where slowly the darkblue velbet of the night raises.

But I'm still alive, I'm still knitting and I think, next time I can post some more entries and photos.

I wish you all a wonderful whitsun-weekend!

Piep!

I'm still alive, don't worry.

But somehow there is not so much to tell this week. I worked on my PIF-Projects, so I can't show them and there was only one parcel from England (where I didn't made a photo until now).

Today the wheather is fantastic so I will go onto my balcony soon. Here I have the choice between my third PIF-present, a bit woll winding (I have to rip the socks for me an wind the yarn again) or maybe to start a shawl for a dear friend.

I wish you all a wonderful Sunday!
