Rowan 52
I bought it on amazon.co.uk and I'm satisfied. Good number of menswear patterns, for once I'm tempted to say, but that is my experience with Rowan. Some interesting accessory patterns too. Very nice fairisle throw by Martin Storey... So, this... Continue reading

Rowan
After some 11 years with the Rowan Knitting Magazine I've decided not to renew my membership. Simply too much hassle the last time. They'd sent the magazines and the gift to my old address even though I'd changed delivery to... Continue reading

The score sofar:

Today...
...I filed for unemployment. So understandably not in the best of moods. The last six months have been some of the worst in my life sofar. Not going to share the details with everyone. Just keeping the darkness inside me at bay has been a job-and-a-half in itself

Hej Judith,
very interesting link, thank you for it.

Every year I try to learn a new craft. So again this year. I wanted something that had some overlap with my previous crafts, knitting, weaving, spinning, bookbinding. So it would probably be something from within the textile craft sphere. I made a decision, read a lot online, bought some books, ...

The end of it all. Dear all, I just cancelled the payment section of this blog. There are several reasons, most important of all: I don't post here as much as I used to. In fact, I barely post at... Continue reading

Hej K.M., thank you for your comment.
This one was very official, even had get my statement read aloud to me. Which was actually rather awkward as I hate being the focus of attention in such situations. I love being front-and-centre with stuff I do well, like knitting or spinning. I demand it from my pupils when I teach. But here, it felt wrong.
Ah well, it's done now.
I got it!
Been a bit quiet again lately, this time for a reason. I'm trained as an engineer, so under Danish law I'm allowed to teach at technical high schools. However, within two years of employment I have to start the so-called PG, Pædagogiske Grunduddannelse, a basic teacher's license. This is a "Get ...
Hej Maureen, thank you for your comment. Yes, it's off the list and it's staying off.

Hej Judith,
thank you for your comment. Hopefully I'll be able to post some more stuff now. Right now I'm just happy that I still got a job for next year.
