Mitts are great knits and I plan to make the <a title=\"Sleekit Mitts\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/9608183@N03\/3013286345\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sleekit Mitts<\/a>. You first have to wind a skein into a &#8216;cake&#8217;. Believe me, though I have by now all the right equipment I still manage to get a bit of spaghetti in the end.

On several blogs (f.i. the <a title=\"The Coraline Box\" href=\"http:\/\/www.knitty.com\/blog\/2008\/12\/my-coraline-box.html\" target=\"_blank\">Knitty blog<\/a>) 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&#8217;t stop. Imagine: yesterday I preferred waiting and reading in the lobby of the Muziektheater instead of watching <a title=\"Nationaal Ballet - Nutcracker\" href=\"http:\/\/www.het-nationale-ballet.nl\/index.php?m=season\" target=\"_blank\">The Nutcracker <\/a>to finish the book. You see?!<br \/>\nI found <a title=\"Neil Gaiman's Journal\" href=\"http:\/\/journal.neilgaiman.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Neil Gaiman&#8217;s website<\/a>. On top of it I finally could enter the <a title=\"Coraline the film\" href=\"http:\/\/www.coraline.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Coraline Website<\/a>, which didn&#8217;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&#8217;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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Holidays! Two weeks long I can decide for myself how to spend my time.
