This & That
Not nice...
I know, but I have to confess that I have neglected my English blog for several reasons (my German blog too, but not so much). In the last week of June, Arne and I spend fantastic four days in Spain, in Catalonia. We had a real nice Hotel in Girona, rented a car and saw so many new things in that time. We bought back a lot of nice photos and I plan to write a little report about that trip and show you some of them, but at the moment I have not really the energy for it. After this trip I came to the decision, that I really want to change my GERMAN blog (or better start it new) to wordpress. I did it at the moment it works real fine. Of course I never stopped working on my crafts. Here are the finished items: I send away all my parcels for PiF and I'm happy to say, that each recipient was happy about it. Here are the craft items, I added a few other things. On the left: Pot Cloth made of Anchor Magic for Gesche In the middle: Mittens made of Schachenmayr Denim for another Bianca On the right: Cat's Paw Shawl from a yarn from Anett for Judith For a dear friend one pair of sneaker socks Colores
C. Schurch, 'Little Box of Socks' 'Roman Rib'
Bärenwolle with Cotton and a third pair, too 
Waldbeerencocktail
a bit changed Double Lace Rib from C. Schurch ‘Regenbogenmelodie’ from Wolldrachen, with Cotton
And the last finished item is another pair of Pot cloth, they will be a present for a friend I will meet on Friday. 
I will show the status of my current projects in my next posting. The photos are still on my camera at home. At the moment I turned also a bit back to my other big hobby, reading. Unfortunatly I have some new and very fascinating books at home... right now it is one from Tad Williams.

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!

Where have all these hours gone...
Today is Eastern Monday and the so desired long weekend is nearly over 
As promised today again a lot of photos. Of course I recieved some mail this week:
From Monika Eckerts Klabauterwolle, Merino Lace in a beautiful light green. I plan a shawl from it for my dear friend Berit, who loves green.
 In the shop of the dear Anett/Selavi I couldn't resist this strand:

Easter-Greetings
I hope, you will have some nice holidays, although for example here in Germany the weather forecast ist not very well. At the moment it snows a bit. Here, two days after the start of spring in Northern Germany. Very strange and absolutly not welcomed.
Because of a very nice exciting nightshift with Babylon 5 (Series 3) I only have to stitch the pearls onto the card for my parents today and make the finish.
Furthermore I also finished the socks for my colleague Inge. This will be delivered by the Easter bunny together with the pairs for Birgit and Nina after Eastern (as it was not possible, to do it before, I just gave them the cards at the moment).
A lot of photos will come maybe tomorrow or on Monday (which here in Germany is Easter Monday, which means another bank holiday), as we will be from tomorrow afternoon at my parents.
I wish you all a busy Eastern bunny.

Weekreport
After the buy at the Woll-SB-Markt on Monday I spend the week with two knitting projects.
The ordered socks 'Blaupause' (Blueprint)
 and the scarf from the blue set grow a bit, too. But I also got a bit weak (I should be VERY busy knitting, on the other hand I finished the Easter cards: 
 Additionally two little parcels arrived. After waiting for a long time (it was out of store) finally I received the yarn for another children sweater from Angel Yarns. From Sirdar 'Luxury Soft Cotton DK'. I used it for the little sailor (did I told you, that this sweater was a big success?) and it was so much fun, that I was happy to find another project with it, of course again in an English Knitting Magazine.  Furthermore I participatet at the big Advent riddle from Martinas Hobby- & Bastelecke and I won! A Tutto (Zwerger) Starter-Package:  The instruction book I really don't need, but the DPNs and the two balls 'Opal Prisma' and 'Opal Smoke' are so soft, I'm looking forward to knit them  But this will have to wait. I have to finish the two current projects, especially the socks but I hope also the set. I think, I need a good long television programm in the next weeks... I wish you all a nice weekend!

Happy New Year
New year is nearly managed, the day of the year I fewest don't like. The silence is deeper than on every other Sunday, the streets are dirty from the firework, the night was of course short and bumpy.
The evening yesterday was long, but with nice Highlights. Daddy prepared a fantastic buffet. On TV we saw a beautiful show from the Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas. But it is very hard to knit cables secondary. 
The neighbours of my parents spend some money on their firework, not so much clackers but some very nice rockets.
Of course my parents cats were not so amused, I hope, they recoverded today from this shock.
I finished a lot on the last day of the old year.
On Saturday night I tidied up a bit and found a 'Kreativ mit Karten' (Creative with cards) magazine Christmas cards I started last year. I finished them, so I have the first cards for Christmas this year:
 Additionally I finished the last and 39th pair of socks. It will be gived away on Friday. 
Dunkle Schokolade (Dark chocolate)
'Seaweed' from Barbara G. Walkers 'Second treasury of knitting patterns'
'1001 Socke' from the Shop of the Hamburger Wollfabrik Here a detailled photo of the embellishment:  Today I made some cards, too. The first Easter cards are finished, a kit from Angelika Wagener which I changed a bit (they are named 'Good Luck' but the flowers and colours match also Eastern)
