I've done so much knitting and not so much blogging so here's a update. I finally became a very proud sock knitter. A few years ago I started a pair of socks on 5 dpns but got stuck on the cuff of the second sock. So I shoved this pair in the back of a closet with al the paperwork to do my taxes. You might understand that this closet is very seldom used.
Then I visited http://www.woool.nl/ my favorite lys and spotted some great sockyarn then I knew I had to try a magic loop. I did. I'm addicted. I'm a sock knitter.
They fit me perfectly and I love the frantic stripey pattern. The only problem is that now I want to remove my shoes everywhere and put my socks on display.
Another thing I did was teaching a couple of knittinglessons for children in my library. It was great fun and many adults joined in to help. Now I'm trying to get all the public libraries of The Hague to join the KnitInPublic day.

I have no doubts he will succeed since he is allready wearing cloggs! I'd better learn to spin soon so I can have a carreerchange and work on Luuk's farm.
