Just dropping in to give you another quick shot of my knitting progress. 86 rows for the front part complete. Next, I’ll have to start doing whatever it is you do to make a V-neck. Will know next wednesday, although I have a vague idea myself. Just don’t want to risk ruining a so far perfect piece of work. Might start doing the back part in the meanwhile (if I even have the time for that). Right now – after I published this post, that is – I will work on a new image header for this blog. I hope my muse will be cooperative, so I can present AN with a new look soon.

P.S.: Don’t know why the photo looks so weird, I didn’t use flash.
There is so much I wanna talk about. About the internship, about some books, about Ebay… But now I only have the energy for another far-too-quick and far-too-short update. Gah! I am thinking about a new (better!) layout here, though.
First of all, I wanted to share a photo of that jumper I’m knitting. You know, my first-ever-jumper. I chose a dark grey-blue yarn for this project, because grey-blues have my name written all over them. It’s a soft merino/cotton mix. The pattern is a rather easy one (of course, or I wouldn’t attempt it), just knit and purl

I took this shot two days ago, so I’ve even made more progress by now. Tomorrow, I’m meeting with my knitting group again, so I will take another photo afterwards. So far, I am rather happy with this, but the tricky parts still lie ahead.
Secondly, I was thinking about some decoration for Easter. I dont have any at all. My mum used to crochet around eggs and made loads of other stuff, too. Might talk more about this later. I would have liked to get some small wooden eggs and paint them with traditional patterns from South America, but I didn’t get any and probably wouldn’t get around to it anyway. Then, I was walking into this delightful little store in my street to buy a postcard for a friend’s birthday. And they had these most beautiful painted eggs for a reasonable price. I permitted myself to buy 5. I want to emphasise that these are real eggs. My favourite is the one on the far left. Now I only need some flowers and sunshine and I will be prepared for Easter! =)
