Holidays! Two weeks long I can decide for myself how to spend my time. Oh yes, some work is on my desk but at home you work faster.

Have been knitting. I have finished a very beautiful present and because it is a present you won’t see it here. She might see it. Mitts are great knits and I plan to make the Sleekit Mitts. You first have to wind a skein into a ‘cake’. Believe me, though I have by now all the right equipment I still manage to get a bit of spaghetti in the end. Well, waiting for computer processes my hands are busy…
Coraline cover
Something was buzzing in the knitscene… she wrote about the writer, she also named one of her top patterns Coraline. On several blogs (f.i. the Knitty blog) peculiar but beautifully made boxes were shown. There was excitement in the air. But about what? Something about a film about a book. I ordered the book and I read it. Couldn’t stop. Imagine: yesterday I preferred waiting and reading in the lobby of the Muziektheater instead of watching The Nutcracker to finish the book. You see?!
I found Neil Gaiman’s website. On top of it I finally could enter the Coraline Website, which didn’t succeed earlier (may be you must have read the book, why not?). They are turning the book into a film and really, really I was stunned! Though knitting and sewing can be found in the book in finding Coraline’s room on the website I grabbed at last the knitting connection . My reward is a beautiful pattern. Go there and find out for yourself! I had a great Coraline exploration.
