This must be the millionth Clapotis in the world. But it's mine, and it's beautiful.
I started and almost finished it in one weekend, that being the long weekend we travelled to Bavaria to see Nick's parents - that means altogether 14 hours in a train, and relaxing at their place in between!
Here some more impressions from Creativa, the gorgeous craft fair in Dortmund, which I visited last Wednesday.
First the coolest ones. A lovely picture, no? But look at pic two: it's made with cross stitching! This was part of a Latvian stitch art exhibition, and I must say I was really impressed!
There were many interesting pieces from Latvia, but I just photographed this one, because I found it so fascinating.
The third and the fourth picture are similar: you first see some nice pictures, and then you come closer - and you notice they are knit!
How marvellous is that!
Now, click "Read more" to see some mathematical quilting!
I had Wednesday off work this week; I still had a day left of holidays 2008, and if I don't use it by the end of March, it's gone. So we originally thought, Nick and me that is, thet we'll go to Düsseldorf and see some sights. However, Nick got ill and stayed in bed that day.
I had read about the craft fair Creativa on Ravelry, and it happened to start on the Wednesday. And when the weather decided to very sightseeing-unfriendly, I made up my mind and headed to the fair in Dortmund.
I'm so behind on blogging my projects! Somehow there's been so many other things to do lately than blogging...
But, I'm slowly working the queue down. First in line is the Star Crossed Slouchy beret (Ravelry) which I finished maybe two weeks ago - and have been wearing it since!
I took part in the Ravelry Finnish knitters -swap (or am still taking part, as my package has not yet been sent) and received a gorgeous packet from Norway, from Nunt.
I got the book I've been wishing for, some Kool Aid (also a long-time wish of mine!), a gorgeous pattern for cabled fingerless mitts and the yarn to go with it. I was really happy to receive the gift and thanked Nunt at Ravelry.
