knitters united

Yesterday, I joint my first ever knitting club. It was funny, there where six old ladies and me sitting in the cool shadow of one of my favourite cafés, chatting ad knitting :D They were so lovely, and they all were so pleased that I wanted to take part in their group. And what they were knitting! Amazing stuff! The oldest, Brigitte, was working on a really cool very VIOLET summer vest. I had my rainow crochet blanket with me, as I'm not knitting at the moment, and I was a bit afraid before that they would say "No crochet, only knitting" but on the contrary - the girls all admired my funny blanket and they were really happy to have a crocheter in their group now, too :D I'm sure I will go there again as soon as I start a new knitting project. They're all so helpful! And I have some things to learn, for example, I have no clue how to work with circular needles. And they all know.

But nevertheless, I would LOVE to have my own knit/crochet group, with some younger participants... have to think about that.

baby time

I'm sooo much in love with little ones these days. I want a baby. NOW. It fills my mind every day, and I suppose my biology wants to tell me something... my hormones are playing "classics for baby" recently, and they're getting louder each day. As a consequence, I'm very much affected by ANY YOUNG CHILD that crosses my way (which is rather funny at work, where I had to examine a pair of very cute female newborn twins yesterday and suddenly behaved like a teen- the mother looked rather bewildered..ummm). Even worse if it concerns people I know. I've started to produce A LOT of baby stuff in the last weeks. For example, these two:



It's for my dear friend Chris who gave birth to Damian two weeks ago (and she's 6!!! years younger than I am ...). Poor Mr. P. He loves children and he wants some, but not AT ONCE, which I can understand quite well as he's still younger than me, and I won't definitely try to make him want a child if he doesn't... but I simply feel that it's time for me. Puh. Any suggestions??? ;)
