A Nice Start

Yes, I am still alive.

Yes, I am still knitting. Although only hexagons and ropes – I am such a boring knitter lately!

Yes, I am still too busy to blog.

Yesterday as we were walking down a street,  a woman tapped on my shoulder and said: excuse me! I turned to see who it is and what she wants thinking: I can’t help with directions as I hardly know where I am,,,, and she said: did you make your shawl? it is so beautiful! I was walking behind you trying to make it out,,, I thanked her and she smiled and walked away.

I was wearing my DayBreak shawl. It was the first time ever I wore it and the first time I wore anything knitted this year.

I thought it was a lovely start of the knit wear season, do you agree?

All Sorts of Presents

Look at this lovely Good Luck Charm:

Do you see the good luck on some of the stars?

It was one of the lovely, creative presents Sam made her father for his 60 birthday! She made all those little stars from long ribbons of paper and they are three dimensional too! I especially adore the ones with the little faces and how she managed to get the face smack in the middle of the star, lovely!

Here you can see some free stars for more details

My presents were so boring in comparison:

Socks in all sorts of stages

This year, Joe received socks in different stages: a complete pair, another one almost completed (it was all done a day after the birthday) and two pairs in a Sock to be stage:

These will be socks before the winter, I hope!

Mazal tov my darling and many many happy returns with loads of boring socks from me and creative gifts from your daughter!
