Knit a wide scarf in stockinette stitch – mine was approximately 23,5 inches wide and 63 inches long. Once the knitted piece is finished, block it and (when dry) fold it in half (closed edge to the right). Join borders … Continue reading
Aquitaine was lovely. The fact that we did not have internet access (absolutely!) added to the fun. I read three books within a week, went to bed early, and spent hours staring at all shades of blue (water) and blue … Continue reading
I did not do much lately. At least not in terms of yarn and knitting and the like. Life has been too busy. Most important: my dad is out of the hospital! However, he is weak and dependent on a … Continue reading
Au pair girl in Paris is as close as I ever came to having a daughter. She was 7 when I met her first: lion-hearted, demanding, strong-willed, and cheerful. However, her parents expected her to be well-mannered, neat, quiet, and … Continue reading
Who said “coincidences are to be expected, but any one of them must always be mistrusted”? I do not remember but that is exactly what came to my mind the other day and I will tell you why: Lately, I … Continue reading

Between bigger (and more time consuming) projects, I have knitted a cardigan for my goddaughter, following a (German) pattern I found online. It was more of a test and it worked out fine. If ever I plan on making another … Continue reading
The blanket I made for my friend’s baby arrived safely in New Jersey and was well received. Apparently, the parents-to-be are very pleased with it – surprise successful! Hence, no more secretiveness but pictures instead! It has been months since … Continue reading
Have you heard about The 100 Women Project? Amy Reader is the artist. Currently, she is completing her undergraduate degree in Fine Arts at the University of Richmond, VA. The project is part of her senior exhibition. Amy needs you … Continue reading
I have to confess that I didn’t feel like writing blog posts lately (and still don’t). Somehow, I lost my mojo. Too many things on my to-do-list, I guess, too many demands on my time from family and work, too … Continue reading
Lately, I have spent quite a bit of time trying to find the perfect knitting journal. (I have found quite a few but they weren’t perfect, at least not for me) as I want to keep track of all the … Continue reading
Sometimes yarn and needles form a perfect union – it feels like the project is knitted by itself and in no time. Regia sock yarn (6 ply, 2 threads at a time) together with KnitPro Symfonie needles (US8/5mm) delight me … Continue reading
