Haste hat Thank you for all your wishes on my recovery… it helped! Once recovered I started knitting a hat for Ger. Actually he is the one who really takes care of this weblog. I only do photos and text. Unfortunately he also got the flu, so the hat had to be send. Ger? Did you receive it? Does it fit? Do you like it???? Getting nervous…

edit: Of course it arrived safe and sound and keeps his ears warm.

It’s knitted with Cascade 220 which I bought at Penelope Craft (they have a great pre order offer on the moment) and I found the pattern via Ravelry (of course). It’s a simple knit, and the decreases make the show.HolyWoly

I joined a swap once again: the mystery theme swap. I got a nice box from the States with Italian food and beautiful yarn. But that is not the reason I mention it. For once I want to pay attention to what I send to my pal. Look at this nice little kit. I bought it at HolyWoly. It was so carefully packed, with fine yarn, beautiful needles, etc. The perfect gift for a knitting friend or for yourself! Why not be your own Valentine?

And: are we going to meet each other on the Zwolle Handwerkbeurs (Craft fair)? Of course there will be the Dutch Knitting Café. But this time the Cafe will have kindred neighbours: a ‘Sock Table’ dedicated to the fine art of Sock knitting. Come by and knit  your first little sock (sponsored by Wolhalla) or learn to knit two socks at once or meet Dutch designers of the Yahoo Sokkengroep. And of course, you can meet me: I’ll be there three days, ‘cause I invented and organized the Sock Table. Hope to see you there.
