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! =)
