(Sorry to those of you who don’t speak German but the following won’t make much sense to you. I just started a knitting podcast – in German. There are a lot of great podcasts out there in English, for example Cast On, Electric Sheep, Craft Lit (also very nice for all kinds of book lovers), and Spin Doctor. But the German segment is very, very small. There’s “Stimme aus dem Stash”, and then that’s it a the moment.)

Hallo und willkommen, ich habe es also wirklich endlich geschafft, hier ist die erste Folge von “Handgemacht. Aus dem Leben einer strickenden, schreibenden, singenden Spinnerin.” Mein ganz eigener Strick- und Spinnpodcast. Die Gelegenheit für Leute, die mich immer schon mal stundenlang quatschen hören wollten.

Das Thema ist “Anfänge”, aber bevor ich soweit komme, erzähle ich erst mal ausführlichst von meinen aktuellen Strickstücken und Spinnprojekten: dem Ebony Turtleneck, So green, just like spring, Devon in teal (Es ist mir übrigens wieder eingefallen, die Farbe heißt auf Deutsch “petrol”.) und dann noch die Yarnissima-Socken, von denen ich später mal mehr erzähle.

Gesponnen habe ich Second pair of handspun socks in perfect colours, rote Maulbeerseide und Corridale, das mal ein Vine Yoke Cardigan werden soll.

Dann habe ich noch versprochen, U-Handblog zu verlinken. Sehr lesenswert, vor allem für diejenigen unter Euch, die auch nähen.

Missing pictures

August 24, 2010 by Susanne 3 Comments

I have gone on taking pictures for the project 365, only I haven’t posted them until yet. And here they are, we went camping, then back home, then off for a party (where my husband played with his new project for the first time), then back home, then we had guests, then we went to another party, and in between I finished spinning sock yarn. For now you’ll only get this as a slide show:

summer break slacking

August 21, 2010 by Susanne 1 Comment

Still alive and doing reasonably well. I did take a nice (or not so nice) new picture every day, and now I’m a bit fazed by the task of uploading and sorting and such. I will do it some time in the near future, I promise, but not today.

Last week was near perfect, I spun, and knit, and cooked, and read, and thought about projects, and even exercised.

Now I’ll bake a cake, give myself a pedicure, knit some more, and who knows, maybe I’ll even sew myself a nice sundress out of a curtain to wear to a brunch tomorrow so that – rather than feeling like a fat, badly-dressed idiot – I’ll feel like a fat, eccentric idiot who is fun to be with.

This – of course – is entirely reasonable and doable since it’s only afternoon by now.

See you.

Packing for our camping trip

I’ll be offline for a few days at least, maybe for the whole week. See you again after that. Oh, and wish us clear skies, please.

Quiet day

August 7, 2010 by Susanne Leave a Comment

Another slow day for me. I almost managed to repeat my “sit in front of computer for the whole day”-stunt from a few days before but then I got a grip and washed yet another spinning sample, shopped for bread and tea, took a walk and, most important of all:

011:365.jpg

Played “Shores of California” and improvised a bit on my piano. It’s sadly de-tuned again, all this rain – sunshine – rain isn’t doing it any good but still. I found a nice little pattern that one day might become part of a song. If I ever remember it.

Having tea with a friend

August 6, 2010 by Susanne 3 Comments

Today I went to town and had tea with a friend whom I only see once a year or so. We met at a marvelous little café that I have loved for years. Once upon a time I lived right around the corner.

We had very tasty breakfast there with huge bowls of fresh fruit and yoghurt (not pictured; I usually forget to take pictures of food until it’s too late). But look at the nice Chinese tea sets.

This is what I looked at, and the following is a look at the weather:

(My friend isn’t a blogger so she was a bit surprised by me pulling out the camera. I only said, “I’m taking a picture a day at the moment.” and when I took the one through the window she said, “What are you taking a picture of?” “The rain.” I replied.)

It was a real treat to meet a friend and chat for hours, and afterwards I went and bought five different kinds of licorice. What could be better?
