another wednesday

I'm enjoying knitting the last days. I knitted the
whole evening. No time for Etsy or surfing - which
an unusual habit ^_^ I'm on some larger project.
I want to knit a sweater for my boy and a whole
outfit for myself. I really hope, that I'll finish them
this time - that's the reason why I knitted till 3am
the last days. I have to use the energy as long
as I'm excited about it ;)

The outfit for myself is not really tangible at the
moment, so I started with knitting some patterns
with the yarn I want to use to see the effect.

Then I started to knit the first idea that came first.
This is a wrist warmer I've knitted without any
instruction. So I hope I still remember, how I did
it to make the pair of it ;) The color is a color I've
never worn before (oh, except once - but it was
a shirt my mom actually bought for my sister),
but as I saw the wool, I really love it and I think,
it suits the gray wool very well.

At this end I've tried to crochet a kind-of scallop
pattern (again my free-style ;)), but too bad it's
curling too, so that it's rather invisible.

I've knitted the whole evening, that I didn't even
realize, it was snowing outside. So, I was quite
surprise to see the new snow this morning.

snowing again

I love this kind of winter (not looking forward
to shovel the snow next week, if it kept on snowing
like this, though)! It's the winter I used to during
my study time in the Black Forest.

Another goal this morning: to finish painting the
wall yellow in my son's room.

for art lovers

If you are also an art lover, you should watch the
Tiny Showcase site. Every Tuesday evening (EST)
they will upload a limited amount of new print.
I just found them last week and I'll keep an eye
for the letterpressed prints ;)
