Done lots of things

Ten days ago I managed to get the whole family and one guest into our van. That would only make sense if we actually drove of and so we did... to Tilburg. We visited the Knitted worlds exhibition in the Textielmuseum. They have a nice blog http://knittedworlds.blogspot.com/ and an amazing museum. The knitted worlds exhibition was a bit smaller than I thought but quite interesting and very different. We saw more bodyparts than can be expected to find in a textile museum! It was unforunately not allowed to take any pictures in the exhibition part of the museum.

We could take pictures in the other parts of the museum where we knitted on a project wich wil turn out to be a knitted "videogame". Ronja friend Myrthe learnt how to knit on the spot in about five minutes! Both eleven year old girls really enjoyed our visit to knitted worlds. The became really inspired by everything the saw, especially in the museumshop.

I have also been knitting in the allotment and at the footbal (soccer) field . I will be knitting at the conference in Delft tomorrow http://www.ugame-ulearn.com/nl/index.asp .
If I'm not knitting I might be reading Twilight by Stephenie Myers and afterwards I could be making Edward http://www.ravelry.com/projects/deadcraft/twilight---edward-cullen-doll.

Bien green

This is it my first "harvest" from my allotment! And I have absolutely no idea what it is. There are some bushes that have been growing too much and I had cut them , then I thought why not put them in a vase? I hope the UB's ( Unidentified Bushes) turn out to be some sort of berries. But Im not yet green enough, just the fact that there's allready something growing in the allotment is very exciting.

I have been looking into a natural wool dying book to see what plants I need. I dream of spinning my own yarn and then make my own dye.

Spinning has to wait because I am on a really thight budget these days and spinning lessons don't come cheap! But the good news is that there is someone not too far from my house giving spinning lessons. All I need to do is find me some money!

I do count my blessings when I'm knitting at the allotment or working on it listening to a Lime&Violet podcast. The spinning will wait for me I'm sure.
