Mystic Celestine Pentathlon

-
Or something like it...
Time to upload some pictures of what I've been working on. It was getting a boring here, all work and no play ;)

First up: Celestine number 2! I made it in orange cotton (with a bell inside), because Margriet, the proud mum of baby number 2 (Judith) had the baby room decorated with lots of orange. And it's fit for a little queen!
Yarn: orange cotton, Anker
Needles: 2.5 circs, Addi
Pattern: Celestine, Norah Gaughan

Oh, and here is Celestine 1:
*sorry* didn't get posted in the confusion. Made out of Limone cotton and also a baby toy with a bell in the centre.

And sock number 2 in the Sock Knitting Pentathlon: Berlin. Lace knitting and lots of it. I waited until the Dutch pattern was out, and all the mistakes were eliminated from the original pattern, and set to work. Don't know how long it's going to take me. It's not a straightforward knit...

Yarn: Lambswool by Phildar (51% lambswool, 49% acrylic)
Needles: 2.5 circs, Addi
Pattern: Berlin, sock nr 2 in the Sock Knitting Pentathlon

And the piece de resistance: tadaaaaaa, my Mystic Light!
Yarn: Katja Mississippi 3 Print (orange/red)
Needles: 3.5 circs, Addi
Pattern: Mystic Light, Anna Dalvi
Dimensions: short sides 1.30 x 1.30 m

Wat weer een mooie dingen heb je gemaakt zeg! Die babyspeeltjes blijf ik boeiend vinden, hoe het breiwerk zo 3D kan worden is me een raadsel.
Je sjaal is echt geweldig!!!
En je sokken worden erg mooi. Ook mooi garen zeg, wat zal dat lekker breien!

Skew you too!

A while ago, on the Dutch RAK group at Ravelry, one of our members asked for some assistance with some sock knitting. She said she'd love to have homeknit socks, but had never managed to knit a pair herself. So, Aal and I came to the rescue. Within 3 days of sending off the yarn, she had her first pair of socks back from Aal. That woman is so amazingly fast!!! My socks took a bit longer, mainly because I had to rip back a few times.  Knitting late at night, having to calculate while knitting, bad lightling... etc... But, eventually, they did get done!!! I suggested knitting her some Skew socks, as with the self-striping yarn she sent me, I thought the effect would be super cool. And it turned out great, even though I was a bit miffed to see that the colour depth was not the same throughout the ball of yarn. Luckily this only becomes really apparent in the leg part, which most people have under their trousers ;) A few pictures of the socks still here... See the difference?

Back from our holiday to Norn Iron

We're still buzzing, people. Totally loved it! It was mint! After what had felt like way too long we finally were able to hug our friends Damien, Katrina, Mark, Orla, and Alistair, have granny Mary-Ann spoil the kids rotten, and just enjoy being 'back'. Because that is how it felt. We stayed in a beautiful apartment in Portrush, with enough bedrooms to accommodate us and granny Mary-Ann, a massive kitchen where I actually cooked as well, next to a train stop, which made travelling a breeze, and five minutes from the West Strand. Heaven! We went to the Giant's Causeway, explored Portrush, enjoyed the beach and many of the cafés and playgrounds around town, and travelled to Coleraine and Portstewart. The kids absolutely loved it, and we were all in tears when the plane took off and we flew home again... But, we're making plans to relocate! The feeling had been nagging for a while, but we're sure about it now. Coleraine it will be! It's all sooo exciting, b

Our third day in Shetland, and a very special one. Not only my wee boy Samuel celebrated his birthday - he turned 6 - but Monique as well. So while I phoned home early in the morning to sing Happy Birthday to my son, Monique had her own choir on the phone ;) After a quick breakfast, we set out for Lerwick, and on the way there we decided to go for a walk along the beach first, before venturing into town. Wearing my Shetland hat, which became a very welcome, warm and trusty companion The cemetery at the Knab We drove around Breiwick Bay and parked our car at the Knab, a natural promontory facing Bressay, where there are several relics from WWII and also a huge cemetery, with some amazing and beautiful headstones. Almost a view to die for... The view from the cemetary Although the weather was lovely when we arrived, quickly the wind picked up and it started raining. We ran back to the car and drove back into town. Time for some birthday cake! The Museum was an obvious c
