Let´s chat

It´s been awhile since I´ve posted. I usually have enough to tell, but for some reason I seem to get shy when I sit down to type. Maybe I should keep a notebook around to jot down notes.

Around Christmas I took out the kidsilk haze from Rowan that I bought at the Afstap in Amsterdam a few months back. There is a beautiful shawl in the book Victorian Lace Today that I wanted to make. It´s a simple pattern in the middle, easy to remember with a beautiful wide border. Even though the rows are shorter and the pattern just as easy to remember it seems to take forever to go around the middle.
As soon as I sat down with my yarn, needles and pattern I was lost. For two whole weeks I didn´t touch any other project. This yarn is amazing.

On Ravelry I joined the 100 bolls in 2009 challenge. That means I have to finish 100 balls of yarn this year. To help me reach that goal I also joined a crochet along. Every month a 12 inch square. Yes, just like the blanket I´m already working on. I found 20 balls of yarn for the crocheted blanket. One square is 1 ball, so I´ll finish at least 12 this year.

Of course I´ve been doing more than just that. I´ve been working really hard to finish the attic. It´s really starting to come together, I´m pretty proud of it. It´s not quite finished, pictures will follow.
