Sampler M en CM
Let's talk shop. When it's warm, knitting is not the first thing on my mind. Yesterday evening I couldn't stop though. I finished three samples. And because I didn't photographed my 'accomplishments' here's a series.
For the statistics they should be the otherway around, photo 1 is beneath photo 2 on the Sampler.
My weaving is almost finished, so I've done enough crafting for april, hahahaha.

Weven
Zo, het is net niet helemaal geworden zoals ik heb gehoopt, maar het lijkt geweldig. De achterkant is wel anders, aan de voorkant zie je het patroonverschil onder de zwarte draad niet zo goed. Het moet doorgaan voor een placemat.
It's not quite what I'd hope it would be, but it's great so far. The flipside is different because of the pattern, but on the front below the black yarn you don't see it.
It should pass as a placemat/coaster.

Entrelac sok is af.
Hij lijkt enorm, maar ja, ik heb wel maatje 42... Hij past goed, en is lekker warm. Thanx voor Yvon, dank zij jouw beschrijving is het toch helemaal goed gekomen.
My entrelac sock from HzG 139 is finished!!!! Just the one. It lay around for a while, eventhough it was almost done. It looks huge, it issss. I'm a full 8 almost 9. It fits beautifully and is nice and warm. Thanx alot for Yvon, for her description in the magazine. It all worked out beautifully.

Print 'O The Wave
Het gaat eigenlijk best lekker, de ene in gewone katoen, de sampler in glanskatoen.
The first part of the Print 'O The Wave is finished. Now I have to knit the second part to the first one, and then knit the edging. It will take a while, because I'm also knitting the Sampler M. The knitting is not a struggle, in cotton.

Sampler Mmmmmmm
Daarna komt de kabel en dan de rits. Vanavond komen daar de Romaanse bogen nog bij. Ik vind het tof.
Knitting the sampler M is very much a pleasurable thing to do. It starts out with my Letter M, then comes a sample of Snowdrops, my flower. Because I love it so, I knitted extra snowdrops. Then a sample of cables, a 'zipper' and then a sample of Roman Arches. Because there are only 40 st. and 2 extra it knits very quickly.
I just started last week, and on the site are all patterns available so I print them all and knit the night away...

Uithalen.
Back to basics. I've frogged (?) this seven times already. The yarn is just beautiful but I don't have any idea what to do with it. It was an impulse to buy it, and now I'm stuck with it.

Ritme en regelmaat helpt altijd. Dus flink opzoek op het internet, en ja hoor. SAMPLER M.
Net wat voor mij. Dus me aangemeld, en meteen maar een foto'tje er op geknald van mijn entrelac. Die heeft een leuk formaat, kan ik metéén verder. Ik hoef niet iedere week een te breien, het ene patroon kan ook langer dan het andere. Ik ga wel in wit verder.
I went out and got my self 'committed' again. To my own surprise, when I had some spare time, I found myself in the knittingstore. AGAIN. Searching for soms yarn for the April assignment. I was fed up. Up to my eyebrows in work, children and fun things to do. And still not satisfied.
Ritme and stability will do the trick, so surfed on the net and found my thing: SAMPLER M>
As soon as I got in, placed a photo of my entrelac/Lady Eleanor. It's a good start, I will continue in white. I don't have to knit a sample every week, and things I like can be longer than they have to be. Now I can move on....

The real McCoy
This is it! My dragonfly. Sat up till late last night because I was to infatuated by it. I couldn't stop. Started with a little circle, then built it up. Then I thought it would be firmer if a q tip was the support for the body. That, ánd the fact that the body shape of a dragonfly resembles the shape of the q tip. The eyes are made out of paillets. The wings out of perlonthread and trimmed with a single thread to shape the wings. To keep it in place the pin was attached and secured with superglue.

Nou, ik zal maar eens gaan beginnen met de opdracht van Angsoka knit a long voor maart.
Haaknaaldje 0,75 en zakdoekjes garen, matblauw en perlondraad voor de vleugels. Hoe ik die ga bevestigen weet ik nog niet. Ik begin bij de staart van de libelle.
Well, it's time to start with the assignment for March knit a long. A crochet needle point 75 and handkerchiefyarn. The perlonthread is for the wings, but how I'm gonna attach them I don't know yet.
I'll start at the tail of the dragonfly.
