Bella Bea(r)

Hot off the needles today: A gift for my mother. I hope she will like the little girl. I called her Bella Bea(r):

Different Dimensions - or Knitting is Contagious

So while I was knitting away at my socks, my sister was infected and began knitting her own socks, too. Now she is making baby socks for a friend of hers. Aren't they cute?

Prolific Vacation, Of Course

Naturally, even Hamburg could not keep me away from knitting needles. So it was time for socks and champagne. But see for yourself

Blogging from Hamburg, Germany

The wonderful sweater (I know thou shalt not toot thy own horn... ) was finished last week on Tuesday, the day before I traveled to Hamburg. But I did not get around to taking photos. So here it goes:

So much left

from the camel sweater yarn... so I sailed through the web to find a nice pattern and here got very lucky!!!

So last night I started my new sweater:

socks, sweaters and forgetfulness

Finished another pair of socks and have one in progress that I am cooperating on with my daughter and then I remembered I never showed the finished OldStash-CutApart-Sweater, so here it goes:

Camels Camels

Seems like the German knitting magazine Sabrina is a bottomless source of wonderful patterns:



It took me about a week to knit this and I am loving it...

Imagine...

When we emigrated to the US from Germany five years ago, a lot of stuff ended up with my parents for further disposal. Well... as a born again knitter on vacation in Germany, I just got a stash of wonderful white and dark blue cotton, 10 skeins to be precise. Mom said, they were in the things we left behind. I have no recollection of the yarn. But then, who cares. My hands are busy while we are vacationing in Germany.

I chose a pattern from Sabrina and instead of making the sweater all white, I am starting with blue at the bottom. Because I was not sure how far the white would reach, I made the sleeves right after I used up all of the blue. Then I knitted the front and back of the sweater and the collar. This left me with 2 white skeins. Since I wanted the top longer anyhow, I then proceeded to cut the sweater apart just above the blue section. Currently I am knitting away the two extras and then I will put it all back together again in knit-stitch and no-one will be any wiser...

Knitting in Germany

I am in sock fever. I love the yarn that creates these beautiful patterns just by the way it has been dyed.
