Headbandmania

It all started with this Birthday-present for my daughter Donna's friend Olivia:

Fingerless Gloves by Petra and the Bamboozled Headband by Cyn

modeled by Elena

And so this is what i' ve been doing the past few days:

Headband No 2

Headband No 3Headband No 4

All Headbands were made with Sock yarn in Fingering weight and used up some of my scraps.
You really don't need much yarn to make such a Headband and it's a nice and quick knit!

I am addicted!
lol

Pattern for Headband can be found at Half-Assed Patterns
Pattern for Stulpen/Fingerless Gloves can be found on Petra's blog

Die verstrickte Dienstagsfrage 1/2008

Ein neues Jahr wird ja oft als Anlass für neue, gute Vorsätze genommen.
Wie sieht es auf das Stricken bezogen bei dir damit aus?
Willst du weniger Wolle kaufen? Disziplinierter an Strickstücken arbeiten?
Ufo's beenden etc. pp.?

Jaaaa, also ich habe mir vorgenommen meinen Ufo-Korb zu "reinigen", will heißen:
Alles, was nie nie nie mehr fertiggestrickt werden mag, wird geribbelt.
und
alles, was ich noch fertigstricken will, muss bis spätestens Mitte des Jahres verschwunden bzw. fertiggestrickt sein.

Und:
Ich möchte dieses Jahr einige größere Strickprojekte stricken, z.B. mal einen Pulli für mich
und die Lyra (Tischdecke) von Herbert Niebling
Ferner möchte ich mehr absolut sinn-und zwecklose Projekte (so wie das Toilettenpapier) stricken, einfach so zum Spaß....

Ten years ago....

.... i was blessed with a little girl!
Elena was born on Jan 1rst 1998 at 6.37 PM, she was 52 cm long and 3780 grams of weight.
She was a cute little baby, one of the most beautiful little things I have ever seen.

And now she is slowly growing up, in 8 years time she will become off age and leave the nest.
I just hope these 8 years will pass slowly (very slowly...please!)
and i hope for her, that she will become everything she hopes to become!

Dear Elly, may this year and all the following years be full of happiness for you!

And never forget: Your mommie loves you ever so much and will always love you!

Happy Birthday Sweetie
and many many happy returns!

Happy New Year!

To all of you, my friends and readers:

WE WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!

ALL THE BEST AND GOOD HEALTH AND GREAT FRIENDS!

Thanks for keeping us company through the last year, thanks for all your nice comments and for your friendship through good and bad times!

I hope you will stay faithful and keep reading my ramblings about my life.

love and hugs
Melly and the kiddos

24.12.2007 - HeiligAbend

24.12.2007

Heute

kommt

Gott uns besuchen.

Er besucht uns

jenseits

von Stimmung,

weihnachtlichem Gefühl,

Festeessen und Geschenken.

Wir brauchen

um ihn zu empfangen

nur eine

sensible Stelle

im Herzen,

die offen ist

für seine Berührung,

seine Zuwendung,

sein Wort.

Heute

kommt

Gott uns besuchen,

und der Glanz dieses Abends

breitet sich aus.

(nach Almut Haneberg, in: Vom Dunkel ins Licht.)

For my Mum...

...is this X-mas present:
The Shetland Garden Faroese Shawl

Monkeys, Retro Rib socks and an update

Monkey-Socks for me.......

Retro Rib socks for my Dad.......

and the famous (and very lovely) Shetland Garden Faroese Shawl.
This is on row 122. 58 rows to go.........whoohoo

Frogged and finished

I frogged the Mock Wave Cable socks (didn't like 'em anymore)

But I finished this instead:
Friday Harbor Socks from "Knitting on the Road" by Nancy Bush

size 39
wool: Drachenwolle

Soap Sweater

A little gift i made for someone I really love:

It was done within 45 minutes, a great last minute present.
And if you choose the right soap, the fragrance is just fabulous!

The pattern is from Cynthia Hall from the Pickin' and Throwin' Blog.
I have just added the cable on the upper side. Thanks Cynthia for this great pattern!
