\"Handwerkbeurs<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s Handwerkbeurs in Rotterdam, not two but three days. Not in ‘De Van Nellefabriek’ but in Ahoy. I have not a real socktable (will do so again in february 2010 in Zwolle) but I joined the knitting caf\u00e9. We now are the stand with the longest name: the Dutch Knitters Sock Knitting Caf\u00e9. I was there for two days now and to be honest, I love every minute of it. I met some famous Dutch Knitters who preferred to stay anonymous (see photo). I bought Jo Ann’s and Marlies’ new sock knitting book (toe up!). Sas Knits it Again<\/a> and HolyWoly <\/a>asked me to mind their shop (if you do so, watch out, Malabrigo will be thrown at you!). I learned things, to be precise that you can – so to speak – kill your yarn in the dying process. I finished things. See this cute Little Vintage Charlis.<\/p>\n

\"Little<\/a><\/p>\n

While chatting, I knit. My Gentleman’s socks with a lozenge pattern progress. I use yarn from Das Schneeschaf. Beautiful yarn! It’s about 3 years old … but will it be enough?<\/p>\n

\"Gentleman's<\/a><\/p>\n

My Nancy Bush Mystery socks are finished. My inspiration isn’t finished at all, but time has its limits.<\/p>\n

While knitting I chat. I chatted with my namesake Yvon, with Ballee<\/a>, with the Dutch Knitters,<\/a> with Fiona, with Brent, with Nelleke, with Corrie, with Juul, with…. Together with DutchJan I <\/a>looked at the quilts. I was extremely touched by Hanne Capel<\/a>. That was really artwork with textile. Most of the other works was just patchwork.<\/p>\n

And now? School is finished for a week. And I finished this evening with a glass of Gen\u00e9py and the beautiful tormented last aria of Madame Butterfly (and in the distance I hear Turandot). In this autumn holiday for a week I have to go to school two days, go to the hairdresser, my gym, ballet, finish socks, do the information desk for the National Ballet, write an article, prepare my lessons, knit, of course knit, go to SnB central and North, have a meeting with my best friend, read books, read logs and relax. Relax. Relax and knit. When???\u00a0 Help. But tomorrow I will enjoy the third day of the Fair. With all my heart. Before life gets tough again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
