Knitting in Nature 2009

Despite the not so fun ending I had a great time in Swalmen. Unfortunately with my foot I couldn’t join in the nature walk the First day. I also skipped the bike rides. I did join the others to go look at the shi-take’s.

The next day everybody was hard at work. Not only the owner with his horses and cart, out group was pretty busy as wel.

Of course it’s really hard having to knit in these surroundings.

After a stop at the place with blueberry’s we went to the SnB Roermond.

It’s been a vacation worth repeating.

Relaxed Sunday

It’s 88 degrees in the shade and overcast. Not really a day that invites you to be very active. I decided to sit outside with my knitting (a new shawl) and a podcast (Stash and Burn). I should be able to make some progress on a day like this.

Lady Eleanor went to live somewhere else. It’s a very pretty shawl but something is missing for me. It could be the colors, I don’t really know. It’s living with my mother who thinks it’s awesome. Of course I been busy with other stuff.

This is finally done and I think it’s awesome. It’s big and pretty and soft and warm and . . .

Mom took something home for me from her vacation. I have no idea what the brand of sheep is, but I think I might have another hobby. The bottom blob of wool is being washed right now.
