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 allemaal nog moet gebeuren. We zijn een beetje in overlevingsmodus. Alweer. Ik houd iedereen waarschijnlijk via de mail wel op de hoogte, maar je mag me ook altijd mailen.

Je hebt gelijk dat je niet alles op een blog kan schrijven, maar een tipje van de sluier om te laten weten wat er gebeurt lijkt me niet makkelijk, maar wel fijn.
Heel veel sterkte allemaal.

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
