Interests: I picked up knitting again seven years ago when I moved to Bielefeld to start a new job. Since then I have tried to learn new tecniques and to design. I'm starting this blog now because I enjoy reading other knitter's blogs which is always inspiring and encouraging. I'm surfchick on ravelry. I like looking for patterns there and exploring other knitters project but I miss the functions of a blog there. Apart from knitting I enjoy travelling, sports on boards on the water, reading, my balcony garden and my 2010 project " one new recipe per week". In 2012 I moved to a totally different country where I mainly need summer knits :) new challenges!

Just a short update on what I'm knitting! I'm making good progress on the dragonfly pullover. Knitting at least two rows a day adds up! :) This doesn't do the colour justice. We actually have a pretty overcast day in Brisbane! So far so happy :) Continue reading

stashed stitch: colour!

Last night I went to knit night. Knit night is always nice because I get to chat knitting, look at other peoples knits, browse the magazines and touch lovely yarns. The problem is the touching yarn. Most nights I manage to be good and just touch but sometimes ... like... Continue reading

I think I didn't post this because I have no outdoor action shots. Looking good from the top... ... but rather small from the side! Maybe it needs some wear? It was a pain to knit I think I posted that before! Look at those charts and all the bobbles... Continue reading
