And here is the cowl I wanted my sister to have. I may redo it though with different yarn. Even though the color is beautiful the quality is not at all what I wanted it to be. It seems to wear out way too fast.
Again, there is J modelling:
A Cowl for Anouk
Feels like I didn’t blog in weeks (which is probably true). Instead, I have been knitting like crazy to get ready for Christmas. And – despite force of habit – about every other time I would even forget to take pictures before wrapping and making knitted things a present.
Well, here’s a cowl though, that I knitted for Anouk (9). It’s another „Before & After“ with J modelling:
Wrist Warmers with Skull
Working on weird stuff, getting Christmas presents done, no time to actually blog.
How about you? Still „on time“? Only 14 days left …
St. Nicholas Day
In Germany St. Nicholas Day is a big thing: Children put out a (well polished) shoe outside their home on the eve of St. Nicholas Day, hoping to find candy or a small gift or both in it the very next morning.
Today is St. Nicholas Day. And of course this year, as every year, we were St. Nicholas was well prepared to fill J’s sneaker.
Now try to imagine how M and I felt when we found wrapped little gifts in our (!) shoes too! Here’s what I had:
I guess that answers the question I have been asking myself whether J still believes in Santa Claus and the like … Kind of sad, I know – he’s growing up waaaaay too fast – but you should have seen him this morning, beaming with delight that he had been able to surprise us.
To quote Martin Luther: – „It is more blessed to give than to receive.“ 🙂
A wonderful St. Nicholas Day to all of you out there!
Pompom Advent Calendar
It’s not too late for an Advent Calendar (yet). Here’s what Pip came up with:
I’m making one pompom every day of December! I’m hanging them from a stick. I found this stick in the park. As I crossed the road to get the stick, a taxi driver yelled at me… If he’d known I was going to get a stick he wouldn’t have been so fresh, right? Sheesh.
Anyhoo. Maybe this is something you might want to do at your place too? A pompom every day? With a stick? Without a taxi driver?
So easy and cute, right?
