Today it is 6 years ago that I wrote my first blog post<\/a>. Just to try. May be I liked keeping a blog. Well, nowadays I’m not as active as I was, but I still like to write posts. I wished my work was less hectic and my life was less frantic so that more time was left for … whatever. Be that as it may: thank you for reading and commenting.<\/p>\n

Back to normal. Almost Christmas. Holidays are coming. So, treat all those little girls, daughters and nieces, neighbour girls or school girls and take them to Copp\u00e9lia<\/a>. They will love it!<\/p>\n

School is atrocious. We’re moving back to the main building, because the alteration is ready. This makes my happy. It didn’t make me happy that I had to pack myself. It’s finished now but one box.\u00a0 I consider the year done. Just some meetings and a Christmas gathering and see if I care!<\/p>\n

Nowadays you can learn almost every technique on your own. YouTube is a great help and on Ravelry there are more helping knitters than you can handle. But, if you don’t have much time, you certainly don’t permit yourself to learn a technique for something you already master in a different way. In short: why learning to knit toe up if you can do it cuff down? I still don’t know why, but I had this wonderful relaxed day with the Dutch Knitters<\/a> Carla and Hilly and, what’s more, felt confident enough to start knitting on my own. The picture shows the first result.<\/p>\n

I finished the November mystery sock from the Ravelry group Sock Knitters Anonymous<\/a> in – another new technique – mosaic. It is a design by Star Athena named Miss Marple<\/a> because of the mystery thing. My Miss Marple is in China because of the colours. This was not ’tv knitting’, but I loved it! Besides, this sock gave me a lot of self confidence. I finally declare myself quite a knitter.<\/p>\n

To wind up with: DH seems to like home-made knitted socks like home-made apple pie. He favours brown with blue. Or blue with brown. Whatever. As long as it is blue and brown. So here’s another variation on the brown and blue theme: the Gentleman Socks by Kristi Schueler.. One down, one to go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
