Bien there- Carnaval

This week it was Carnaval which is not one of my favorite festivities but...

I LOVE THOSE WHITE BOOTS

Ever since I was a little girl I longed for these boots, but my mom wouldn't let me join the "majoretten".

Done that magic loop

Finally I'm doing the Magic Loop! Offcourse when you are doing it it is really easy. I started a very simple pattern and thanks to the frantically striped yarn it's not too boring. I'm already queing new socks in my ravelry there's at least enough yarn in my stash for 2 more pair. But let's not get too excited before doing the heel.

Life socks.

Done time

Time 's up! The cock cover is done and I am so pleased.

I like the clock so much, I didn't even try to test it. It should run on a battery but I didn't try, it might be broken but that doesn't matter. It's "quit time"for the clock I'll let it rest in the comfy cozy I knitted for him (her?)

Maybe the clock in the cover stands for hibernating I've been doing that too. Curl up in our enormous couch surrounded by wool, patterns an my knitting daghter.

Recently I have become addicted to anoyther hibernating aid: the podcast. I absolutely worship Lime&Violet http://limenviolet.blogspot.com/ hilarious. So far I listened to them while cooking dinner, riding my bike, at my doctors waitingroom , in bed and while knitting.

The knitting my precious shuffle rests on is a ufo (unfinished object) that was lying in my knitting suitcase for a long while. I frogged it ands started over. The wool is beautifully coloured and is very dear to me since I bought it at Terschelling http://www.tante-lies.nl/ the one and only lys(local yarn store) of the island. We will go to Terschelling in the end of April but hope to make a surprise trip earlier. I can't tell you becaus it wouldn't be a surprise now would it?

We do suffer from some serious island homesickness and started this day looking up some footage of our favorite ponies at http://deprairie.wordpress.com/blog/ and on you tube (thank you Yfke)
