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...

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...

Sock Madness Finalist

At the moment, I'm finishing off some translation jobs, doing some admin while watching some women's football, relaxing my fingers - insofar as that is possible while typing - because squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee... I'm a Sock Madness Finalist!!! I will be representing Team MM tomorrow in the final Sock Face-Off. At 7am local time, the pattern will drop and 26 knitters will battle it out for eternal glory. I was such a happy bunny when I finished my Round 6 socks, and also Rounds 5 and 4, which I hadn't posted here. So, a quick recap: Round 6 was the Swirlagon socks by Kirsten Hall . A super fun and challenging knit. It consists of pentagons on the heels and varying hexagons for the rest of the sock. Using provisional cast-ons for all the hexes and ending with a tubular bind-off, these don't have any ridges on the inside - but plenty of ends to work away! Even though it took me almost 4 days to knit these, I was first of the team! Me and the Round 5 socks d...
