A little bit rough and exhausting here in the meantime... just after I thought I had more time and would be posting more frequently again. But you know, one always should be prepared to be surprised. So I do try to collect myself now and start again, once more.
I took so many photos in September, had so many postings on my mind, but none got written. No energy. Ravelry, continued to be a pleasant place to just lean back and watch "Friends-TV"... just hit the refresh button from time to time and get over-inspired by all the beautiful things everybody made... rush to your own knittings and hastily ruin a simple sweater (terribly sagging sleeves) and two ribbed hats (one way too big, one too small)... I didn't even bother to take pictures of those unfortunate efforts. Just took a deep breath and went on. I will try to make all three pieces work someday. Right now I am knitting a model from the current Phildar collection, Model 19/ 20/ 21, but I am a bit discouraged by my failures and fear, with the slightly ludicrous yarn I am using, it could look only funny in the end.
At least it will feel great, the yarn is soft and cozy. And I love the natural brown colour.
Anyway, I owe you a big THANK YOU for all your nice words about my latest cardigan!!!
Thanks a lot!
I have been wearing the cardigan a bit meanwhile and I must say, I really would like a longer version of it. Also, maybe interesting for those of you who think of making the cardigan: due to its construction it tends to slip down the shoulders after some time of wearing it. Not too badly but worth mentioning. I am still very happy with the cardigan!
Above you see my latest find. Trash from the street. Adorable, both girls of our family agreed. I have no idea how old this chair is, but I found this photo on Flickr, which implies the chair is at least retro. It's squeaking, by the way.
I hope you are all well, being creative and having a good time.
Thanks for stopping by.
Take care!
