Alpaca...so warm and fuzzy.


These are so soft and warm I never want to take them off.

I started out knitting with scarves and socks so many years ago, then I got to the point where I wanted a challenge and couldn't stand to look at any socks or scarves. I moved on to baby sweaters, cable sweaters, felting, and even underwear! I dove into buying bags of yarn at a time for one project. Lately I've been having so much fun knitting up scarves and socks. I haven't touch any complicated projects since early December. I've even ventured into novelty yarn. The horror!!! I even made a fun fur scarf for myself!! It's gotta be some sort of regression.

Randomness

We have a scanner/fax/copier/printer. Fun!! I can now scan in all my old pics. Here's one I scanned this weekend.

The nicest smelling cat in England.

(S)He smelled like (s)he had been trudging through the flowers. I found him in the Kew Gardens one Spring day.

Knitting update: Alpaca socks almost finished. Waiting for the Elann shipment to arrive (Ha, when I say shipment it sounds like I've got a truckload of stuff coming!!) to start on some scarves. I've tried to resist so called novelty yarn, but it's got me. I've been sucked in.

Chocolate and Knitting




Coffee and knitting: it's been done. Tea and knitting: it's been done. What about chocolate and knitting? Now that is a good idea!! Someone should open and knitting and chocolate shop. Wow, it would be perfect.

Trying to convince a certain member of the household that sports and crafting is a natural combination.

Chocolate treat of the day.

Mozart Ball: marzipan covered in a layer of milk and dark chocolate.

The Christmas Market in Frankfurt was a bit crowded.




People come to drink the gleuwein. (this is actually the apple wine cider special to Frankfurt)


It is true that you can get anything anywhere nowadays.


der Christbaum

I should have kept this for myself...


It's sized to warm someone else's feet. Darn it, I should have gotten an extra skein.

Look at what I tried last night.


He had a rough flight over, but it was yummy all the same. Inside is two layers of white cream and hazelnut chocolate.


So, you've had this before, I'm sure.


But have you had these??


Oh, didn't I show you the booty I brought back? (A bit of the left was cropped.)


Happy long weekend!!
