what a mess D:

linolium cut - geometric shapes for a calendar print
linolium cut – calendar

I thought about this for my journal, but I’m still not sure whether it was really such a good idea. Tomorrow I’ll post what’s become of the template and what’s happened with the print…

blanket madness

Beginning of a blanket

In order to have some variety from the socks, I threw myself into a “leftover wool” project. It will be a 250 cm long blanket. From leftover wool. Which probably won’t be enough. I don’t have that much worsted yarn. But with 2 or 4-ply yarn I would never finish. I’ll keep the blog up to date.

socks for next winter, should be manageable

I have knitted something again after a long time. I had problems with my wrist, so I preferred to take a longer break.

After three attempts at a “Ladies Hat” from “The Penguin Knitting Book” – I unravelled everything again and am now knitting more challenging socks.

The top is a pattern that simulates plaits. The shaft is based on a pattern from “japanese Stichbible”.

By the way, the problem with the “Ladys Hat” was that the hat was much too small and I wondered if people simply had much smaller heads in the past? Apart from the fact that the instructions are so short and cryptic that I wonder how anyone could ever understand it. I thought I’d got the hang of it and understood it all, killer logic and all, but no. It just didn’t work the way it was supposed to.

feeling Dawn today

Dawn hates her mom

who doesn’t know that? Feeling misunderstood, somehow not fitting in properly or it doesn’t just feel like everyone is against you? I have that a bit sometimes, age helps a bit but sometimes I also feel like I’ve been transported back in time.

This is a fanart of Dawn Wiener hating her mother at the dinner table 🙂
