To wrap a baby

My friend R became a mother! Of course I love to bring her baby boy something when I'll go to see him. This little man needs warmth, being just out of a warm belly, I thought. So this knit was made, inspired by this knitting on the bias. The used yarn is as pure as possible, as if straight from the sheep.

The cotton yarn you saw before. It was just added randomly like I saw here some time ago and still love. I used needle EU 8 and 500 gr of yarn. The pattern is so easy and great to do, as if climbing and descending a mountain.
Do you want to try this blanket of about 80 to 80 cm yourself?

Then cast on 1 st
row 1: kfb
kfb, k till the end
repeat.
When you're halfway:
k2tog, k till the end
repeat
last row: 1 st, bind off.
Done! Simple as that.

Come in!

My former colleague David is studying photography. He asked me if he could shoot the interior of our house for a study project. I love the shoots so much, that I want you to enjoy with me. But doing so is rather exciting too, giving some privacy to the www...

About the one above, this is really one point of view in our house: from our play floor into our - one could say - home office on the left and back to the kitchen at the right side. Sitting behind the computer, you can look down into the kitchen as well. Behind the wall in the middle is a storage from floor to ceiling, filled with playthings (games, puzzles, etc.), nicely hidden behind sliding doors.

In the past I often made pictures in our house, but the view of a visiting photographer appeared to be fully different. That's why the series are surprisingly good to me. I think they look promising!

Made in school

Look what L made in school!

A wooden cooking spoon was turned into a puppet theater doll.

And she's (and we are) so glad with her creation!

Look at her!

I actually don't know why there was such emptiness on this blog. I mean, I don't know why nothing came out of my hands. I've no excuses, but only want to say: hi again!
And yes, finally I'm knitting again. About that later. First of all my daughter: she can do it! I'm so proud. And believe me, about 15 years ago there was a neighbour girl riding an unicycle. From the moment I saw her, there was a secret desire in me: to have an unicycling daughter.
And this weekend it became truth! So happy and to see her happy.
