Dear Diary

well, not today-day, the day before yesterday, actually.
papéis por todo o lado and great collages at Charm School Dropout

Finished Hemlock

Most relaxing, curling up in the corner of the sofa with needles and yarn. Or knitting in the car on long drives. I always have several projects knitting — some are good for watching movies I have seen before, but want to see again. Some are good for knitty company, and some are good for absolute mind-relaxation. Like Hemlock here. Difficultlevel high enough to engage all of my concentration, leaving no room for stress, speculation or planning ahead. Just me and the wool and the chart I work by. I have no idea what to do with the blanket. It's really too small to be a blanket, too big to be a pillow, and more about process than product.

The originator of this pattern is one of the most inspiring Knit-bloggers I know of; Brooklyntweed. Amazingly talented, inspiring and sharing! You can find many beauutiful, free patterns there.
Have a grand Tuesday :-)

Shift in Energy

Been rearranging. I wanted to be able to post larger images, and it took me a while to crack it.
Thank you, you wonderful people who have helped me. Couldn't have done't without you. Really!
(Man!—html is tricky business.)
A feel for shift in energy. It feels good.

(and working quite a bit, too)

—and listening to new music (thanks Schanett and Esti).

Happy Monday

Experimenting

Busy with work, but urging to collage. I'll refrain from promising myself to do more right now, it's hard to plan time like that. Nomatter. I enjoyed the little space she provided.
I hope your weekend is peaceful.

Eco Toes from Infusion.
Mel Kadel (drawings).

Cars 'n Girls

Made a little summer scarf (and started knitting another).

Can anybody help me with this: How do I get larger images on my blog? Sandra's doing it, Flora's doing it, but I can't seem to figure out how. I hope you will help. Thank you in the heartest way in advance :-)

misc

Another letter in the alphabet (larger). Here we have also been swimming a bit these last two days—in sparkling spring rain.
Some movie stuff: Wonderful Mansuetude linked to a stunning (I can not emphasize this enough -- please see it) animated film; The distance from the moon.
Althea Crome knits mini-mini-miniature clothing, and she made the clothing for the dolls in the upcoming movie Coraline. Man! This is good stuff. This really great story is written by Neil Gaiman (super cool), and the movie is directed by Nightmare-Before-XMas-director Henry Selick. Doesn't get any better. Goooood stuff.
Yep! And there's ·kiksekage· on the Food Blog.

...ahm

»Christine, shouldn't you have been working ...?

»...yes. (I believe there's a word for it).
Anyway, I received the print from Flora. I love it :-) Thank you, Flora.
