Blues and Greens

If you like knitting socks, you probably have a lot of leftovers in many colours. I´ve used most of my blue and green leftovers to knit these cozy overknees following the directions you can download here. They really fit well!

Totally Striped

With all that snowy white outside my window and that b/w calendar I have to make, it was a pleasure to see some colours in the evenings when knitting this set as a Christmas gift for myself.

Baby, it´s getting cold outside!

In case you´ve missed me and my blog posts during the last ten days - the reason is that even for a good multi-tasker it´s not possible to knit while making mixed-media projects :-)
Did I already mention that I always give some Christmas gifts to myself? Not all of these shown above, of course.

All I need is colour

Everything outside my window seems to be white right now.

So isn´t it great to have some new yarn designed by one of my favourite designers, Kaffe Fassett, and knit some socks? They´re almost as colourful as the sweater designed by Kenzo that I´ve knit a few years ago - just what my eyes need when winter is coming ...

Pictures of Berlin

I didn´t take many pictures during my vacation but I couldn´t resist these wonderful stained glass windows in the zoo aquarium of Berlin.

What to do with them? Well, this is what I did with a photo of a window in Heidelberg that I took in 1987.
