A Weekend in my Home Town

Hello you lot!

I am finally on the way to get my life back on track and thus I get to write a blog post again. January has been tough on me and my family and I hope this month will be better. I got some crochet done but life was mostly just surviving. I am at my parents' place at the moment which is nice.


Weyhe is the town I grew up in and the place Michelle spent her year abroad. No big surprise that it's also the place where Michelle and I met. Back then I lived in a different part of the town/village but my parents moved some years ago and now their house is just a couple of meters away from Michelle's first host family's house. This part of Weyhe is called Sudweyhe and it probably the most village-y part. Right after my parents' street, fields start - which is why I got to capture pictures of the sunrise on Friday.




My days here were filled to the brim - I reckon that is a normal thing when you return to your hometown after some time for a visit. I saw some friends which was great (I wish we could see each other more often!) and attended my sisters bachelor thesis defence. She did great and while she is still waiting for her mark, I am 110% sure she passed! Very proud of her!


I was able to sneak some crochet in though. My poncho is growing! As you can see, I am using different colours than the original pattern. The fourth colour will be a dark yellow. Looking forward to see it finished! Fingers crossed that (now that my life seems to be getting back on track) I will be faster with my crochet stuff again!


How did you spend your weekend?


Take care
Anne

P.S. We love reading your comments - thank you so much for them! :-) You should see Michelle and my conversations on Facebook about it! There is a lot of squealing about every new comment involved... :D

      The poncho is good fun to make! After the ripping is finished, the rows of grannies are really fast!

      The sunrise was quite amazing indeed! We were on the way to my sister's disputation and I made my mum stop the car, so I could take pictures :)

    I'm glad that things are settling down for you, and it's interesting to see your home town. I didn't realise that you and Michelle had spent so long living near each other. Hope you manage to fit more of your lovely crochet in. We've had another busy weekend here, and visited relatives today which was fun :)

      Michelle lived in Germany for a year during high school and I lived in Australia for my masters :-) Can't wait to see her in person again! Fingers crossed the boyfriend and I can travel to Sydney this winter!

      Drops Nepal! It is a very lovely yarn to work with 😊 what colours will you use?

    Still thinking, but I think it will be shades of blue or fall colors. Have to order a test skein of the Drops yarn to see if I like it. Very sensitive to scratchy yarn. ;)
