Busy August Days

Hello you!

I shall start with exciting news: Our little blog hit the 100.000 hits mark in total. I know that this is not much for many blogs but it is a lot for us! :) Thank you for your visits, your hits and of course your lovely comments!


We spent the last couple of days at my parent's house in Northern Germany. I might have mentioned that my dad is quite ill, so it was good to spend time with my parents. There were some doctor's appointments as well and along with visiting friends, it kept us busy. Oh and I can't forget Pelle, my parent's baby cat. Such a cutie!! She was quite fond of my yarn though... I fear some of the yarn is now covered in cat drool. Oops.


I am pattern testing for Michelle. It is such a lovely idea she came up with and I enjoy trying out the pattern - had to learn several new stitches though! Rest assured though: I managed. :P I also tried the join-as-you go method for the first time and after several fails, I can now do it. At first I did the slip stitch from the wrong side and thus the seam was so bulky! All fixed now! My main color is black while Michelle used white: I am excited to see how different the two works will look!


Next week I shall give a five-day class about neo-medievalism. I know what I want to teach but there is heaps of preparation involved, so I guess there won't be much crochet this weekend. Sighs. 

How will you spend your weekend?

Take care
Anne

  2. Congratulations! My blog is even smaller and I was excited to get 5.000 hits :-) So I understand that you are glad with 100.000!
    I wish your father all the best, hoping he will recover soon...
    Good luck with the preparation of your class, like your crochet testing!

  3. Congratulations on your blogging milestone! Well done!
    I am sad to learn of your father's illness this week. It is good that you are able to be close to your parents at this time. Many families are separated by vast distances. I hope your appointments were smooth and easy and did you get much crochet done in the waiting room? ;-)
    No time for you to get bored, is there with pattern testing and teaching? :-) Wishing you success with your forthcoming classes. Take care, xxx

  7. Congratulations on this blogging milestone! It is a lot, be assured. I hope that your father is getting better soon, it is always worrying when one of your family members is not well, isn't it? I wonder what you are testing for Michelle, it looks intersting. I don't have much crochet time this weekend, either. School is starting tomorrow and we have to get everything in order. Back to routine. Viola
