Finish line

My first Ravelympics project is finished!!! Like thousands of people I'm knitting like a madwoman during the Olympics, and it's great fun to knit 'in competition'. Meet Skew : I knit these socks in about a week, and with all that is going on here, that's quite an achievement! I loved the knit, even though I made plenty of mistakes here and there - but these were easily fixed. And yes, the socks are the same length, I just pulled up one more than the other, and was too lazy to make another picture... :) The sock is really the creation of a mathematician, the heel is a great fit and very clever! Over de finish Mijn eerste Ravelympics-project is klaar! Net als duizenden andere breisters ben ik druk aan het breien tijdens de Olympische Spelen en het is erg leuk om zo 'in competitieverband' bezig te zijn. Zie hier  Skew : deze sokken heb ik in ongeveer een week gebreid, en met alles wat er hier allemaal gaande is, vond ik dat best snel! Het was erg l...

Baked out

In times of crisis, I bake. As soon as you see me whipping up one load of cookie dough, cake mix and chicken roast after another, you know there's something up. And this week, there was plenty of baking: - around 60 cup cakes: plain vanilla, chocolate and carrot cake, with vanilla, chocolate and cream cheese icing - a dozen raisin buns - a dozen brown buns - 2 white loafs - 3 brown loafs - cauliflower-potato bake - pizza and I bet I forgot some stuff too. There was plenty of reason for all this baking too. Last Wednesday, my mom had her operation. She was admitted on Tuesday, and after seeing the gynaecologist, anesthesist, dietician, thrombosis nurse, ward nurse, stoma nurse and countless interns and other nurses, she was wheeled off early Wednesday morning. Too many hours (and a batch of brown buns later), we got the phone call: operation a success, but patient quite ill. Instead of returning back to the ward, she was transferred to ICU. My mom had lost quite a lot of ...

Certain things are meant to be shared on a blog. Other things aren't. But still, sometimes you just have to post about something. However much you don't want to. Like the fact that my mom is ill. And it's serious and very unfair. The big C has wormed its way in our family again. We're all still trying to get to grips with the situation, trying to understand what is happening, catching up with what has been going on and looking forward to what needs to be done. We're in survival mode. All over again. I'll probably keep people updated via e-mail, but don't hesitate to contact me. Bepaalde zaken zijn er om op een blog te delen. Andere niet. Maar toch moet je soms ergens echt iets over zeggen. Ook al wil je dat niet. Zoals het feit dat mijn moeder ziek is. Het is ernstig en zo niet eerlijk. Het K-monster heeft zijn weg weer naar onze familie gevonden. We proberen een beetje te begrijpen wat er aan de hand is, wat er gebeurt, wat er is gebeurd en wat er allem...
