'tis about time

Lousy blogger as I am I have neglected my blog long enough. Not that I have an idea what to write about myself, but I got a question by Anonymus in my comments about the pattern for the pink alpaca hat. Thanks for the compliments, by the way, they make my day!

I am flattered and feel a bit strange at the same time when people ask me for a pattern and I have to say: "Uhm, yes, uh, that would be my own. I made it up." But I haven't written any instructions. Yet. That is, not really, 'cause what I call instructions you would probably wave off as doodles and funny combinations of numbers.

However, I am dreaming of having a small section in my sidebar where you will be able to find some of my stuff as pdfs so you could knit it too, if you wanted to. I just have to wake up to make the dream come true. Somebody set my alarm clock already!

Project Scattered

It's mid March and Project Spectrum is well on the way and I am, well, not really in the mood. It seems that my creative side is on vacation and all I can think of is socks.


At least it's red.

Pink cables

Like it?

Morning sun

My pink Alpaca, photographed in the one corner of our apartment that has morning sun: my studio.

Spring? Ha!

My Mom told me on the phone that Spring is on its way where she lives in Germany. I am not expecting "Spring" before mid-April, especially today with the temperature having been -18 degrees C and having felt like -31 with windchill. Bundle up, Montreal!

I found some salmon pink Alpaca in my stash and with Project Spectrums first month starting on Wednesday I decided to do something with it. The picture I posted with all the pink and red things was only for inspiration, I don't know if I am going to use any of the yarn in it. Maybe - since I only have three balls of Alpaca and that means "small project". A hat, most probably, 'cause I can sure use it...
