That was yesterday. Didn’t see any knitters in town, but I was at the Zoo with my daughter and knitted while she was eating a huge ice cream. Really a huge one, so I managed a few rounds at my socks…
But then I am not so into knitting, it is getting too warm, but the main reason is that I am totally hooked with my wheel. And the fiber…
Yesterday evening I got this beautiful swift from Laila.
I tried it today and it works like a charm. Thanks again! But not only I got the swift, she really helped me to get started with a new knitting project by suggesting patterns for the beautiful yarn I got from her to my birthday. So I started February Lady Sweater.
In the course of the evening she also demonstrated her ball winder – and I was fascinated and said: I want one. I really want one. I am going to buy one. And today we went into town, to the local fleamarket and look what I got:
Beautiful, isn’t it? Together with this old ball winder I got this – the seller didn’t know what it is for – but I think it is to put a ball on it and keep it from rolling around. It’s name is “Lismeli” (the little knitter), at least that is printed on the bottom.
What can be more perfect after a nice and comfy evening? Oh yes, there’s more – I got something like a studio! Update follows.
