Happy.

I've been making lots and lots of late,

-a cashmere cardi for Noor and

-a supersoft superblue scarfwrap for myself.

Making lots more too, but I can't keep up photographing it all...

My two best ever projects,

-Lieveke (now 5) and

-Noor (now 2)

happily and colourfully celebrated their birthdays con brio.

It all goes too fast.

And luck was my friend all through the week :

after winning the pattern for her new design Kakomu,

I got a massive giftparcel from Kirsten,

crammed with beautiful things,

one of them a stunning scarf in a limey chartreuse,

which happens to be my favorite colour.

The colour of kindness.

The colour of gratitude.

Happy Easter all!

Now we mending.
A few things to report :
- i have a winding thingy now
- Lieveke is nearly five and we are doing school visits!
- I made these fingerless gloves for my friend Emily's birthday (on Ravelry)
- Noor really really likes the sheepy
- always have a rainbow in the house.

Hope you are well

Violette

Sometimes I need to make something easy peasy.
This pretty shrug for Lieveke was just that.
She on the other hand, felt like making something complex.
A birdhouse with sliding door and guestquarters.

Noortje...

Noortje ('noor-cha') means little dear Noor.
She is wriggly and jiggly and squigly.
If there is an other word ending on -igly, she is it.
For sure.
*
She is however, so so loved.
Our little one.

Her Ginger cardi is finished.
And I made her a dress to go with it.
Lieveke made her a daisy chain.


Have a lovely Tuesday friends

Seahorse knits

Heh I made a new Flickr account for my knitting projects.
Believe me, for me, this is seriously seriously advanced.
I even managed to put a badge in the side-thingy of this blog.
Yes 't is called a badge vous savez.


I know
my friends
you
are rolling over with laughter
chuckle chuckle
I'm rather
late at
discovering the use
of this excellent
photo-device
but I bet
you're
secretly proud
I
did.
it.
after all yo.


So for my
knitting projects for this year go here

and objects that inspire the knittig : this way



Thanks!

Some things, some thoughts.

I don't really have a desk.
I have a few things.
Found.
Made.
I put them together,
sometimes on the cupboard
sometimes on the table.
And then, on the screen.
They
inspire
me.

note 1#
knit : the Aura scarf from this excellent book
fabric : Echino, always a favorite
little dress : sewn for Noortje (that means little Noor)
The stick was really Lieveke's find. It is beautiful.

note 2#
also : I keep forgetting to tell how much I appreciate you stopping by
and having a look. Thank you so.



Happy week to you
