..in memoriam..

Today is the 80th birthday of Anne Frank, the Jewish girl from Frankfurt that lived hidden with her familiy and some friends in a rear building in Amsterdam until they were found by Gestapo and deported to death camps. Her father was the only one who survived, and when he came home, he found Annes diary. It was published and is still a memorial to all of us to be attentive that a Holocaust will never recur.

RIP Anne, you gave us all so much.
In silent memory

Socks 08/05/09 "Hubby House Socks"

First, thank you for the nice comments regarding the drops-socks.

Now I finally managed to complete the hubby house socks. Since I actually hate to work with more than one color, it extracted like jewing gum...

Material: 150 g Flotte Socke 6-ply with DPN 2,5.
Pattern: Hubby House Socks
Modification: I did not knit the heel in CC, it's too much color for me.

a cover for my puffy...

Well, I had to trash my old wing chair recently. It had the same blue-and-roses-pattern as the puffy and it made me sad to see it all the time, since I loved my chair very much. So I decided to crochet a new cover....

..these potholders...

..are some kind of an experiment. I wanted to use up all my rests of potholder-yarn, so I connected them by using the method russian join.
Mixed with a solid color it made these practical kitchen-equipment.

Well, the yarn is not that much appropriate for this purpose, since it devides easily and without cutting off some threads, it is too thick.

A good experience to get familiar with the procedure.

Material: 100 g Coats Lyric 8/8 solid and 50 g rests in colored with needle 4,0.

Nasjonaldagen

I participated in a project that showed thirty cups in thirty days. You can see it in my German blog.

This is the last one, and I posted it especially today in respect for
Norways National Holiday.
