knitting on Wednesdays

… and dogs =)

Heute war ich meine Cousine Carolin besuchen und wir waren zusammen mit Bobby spazieren.
So, meet Carolin and Bobby:

me and Carolin

Bobby, a quite hyperactive young dog who likes me... for some reason =)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was a wonderful afternoon. Quite wintery already though. When I got there at 3pm it already felt like the sun was setting. The air is cold and clear at the moment, perfect for walking and enjoying the landscape. We had a lot of fun together. I raced with Bobby over the meadow – he has a lot of energy ;) and Carolin was loud and cute as always. And very fascinated by the idea that I would “put her on the internet” ;)

And I also went yarn shopping today =) Yesterday the twist collective winter edition was released and I couldn’t resist two patterns: Caprio and Perianth. This was the first time I purchased from twist and I like the patterns. The could be more detailed but in the end they are not that complex.

There is Online’s Linie 5 Corafino in blue, a 60% merino, 40% acrylic blend, a quite light sportweight. It’s much thinner than my sport weight sock yarn. My gauge was a little off but it wasn’t much so I took the 4mm needles anyway.

The second, for the mittens, is Regia’s Cotton, 41% new wool, 34% cotton, 25% polyamide. My first sock yarn with cotton and it feels delightful. I love it and can’t wait to cast on those mittens.

I already cast on for the scarf and it looks good. Progress pictures will follow next week.

I also can report that one Christmas project is done and the other as good as. Just one seam, the button band and the buttons… and weaving in ends. But I have weeks left until Christmas so no problem at all =)

On a sad note, I still haven’t received any mail :( I want letters! ;)
