There's a verb in German "übertreiben" meaning to exaggerate, in a way. Say, if someone is getting their 4th cup of coffee, one might say "Übertreibs nicht"; "don't overdo it". I think I've been "übertreiben" first with my socks, and now with the mitts. Not in a bad sense, but I think for a while I'll stop this mass production of similar items for a while. These mitts were for the local animal shelter's open door day market to be sold for the shelter's benefit. Therefore all my own designs / generic patterns. They sold out quick!

Just a hi to everyone, I've been ill the whole last week and just now getting on my feet again. Boy that was a mean cold I had!

But, I have knits to show and stories to share - later this week or next weekend at the latest!

So here they are, my last entries for Sukkasato-KAL which ends with October.

Tässä ne ovat, viimeiset Sukkasadon tuotokset, ja kuva koko sadosta - 16 paria lapsille hyväntekeväisyyteen, ja yksi pari äidille synttärilahjaksi.

Nyt sitten mukaa Lapaskuuhun!

I'm so late in posting this. We actually went there some weeks ago, but I just haven't gotten around to show you the lovely pictures.

Margaretenhöhe is a district in Essen, built around 1910-1920 and very very beautiful! There's a lovely park, where we went for a walk. These are photos from there. There was so many different kinds of leaves on the ground! I can't wait to see this park in the summer.

I made a cat bed. I'm not quite sure how successful it is. It's my own design, but it has the problem the side doesn't stand up properly. I had to prop it up - I sew the side togehter, and sewed another thread through the upper end of the side. It stands now, but I'm not too happy. I will need some more development before I publish the pattern!
