So, what's been up then?
Well, a lot, if I have to believe the invoices I've been sending out. I've been working flat-
out during November, and then sort of took December 'off'. Well, as 'off' as I can everbe... ;) It basically meant I still did my business translations, but there was no book for a
month. And that was quite nice! It gave me some time to prepare for the SinterRAK,make decorations for the Xmas tree and to hand out to neighbours, family and friends inlieu of Xmas cards, decorate the house, clean the house for our Xmas dinner and just
enjoy being home and with the kids. Which also explains the lack of blog updates ;)
We've been around each other a lot, and it was great. Although we can look like a chaoticbunch, we are a lovely chaotic bunch, and we love doing things together, which, with two
parents trying to work fulltime and two kids going to school, isn't always easy.
There was some progress on the crafting front, apart from all those lovely decorations,though! I thought and thought and thought, and then decided to redo the sleeves on my
Spoke. However lovely it was, they were just too short. Here's a comparison of new
sleeve - old sleeve. See the difference?
Yup, that IS a
difference! They are
much morecomfortable and at
least now go all the
way down to mywrists, which is much
nicer! I have been
wearing it as well,
and as it is relatively
short, it is making meaware of the fact that
I still have somepounds to shift (plus
the ones that I gained
after my last attempt,oh, sigh... don't
start)...
And here's a first
picture of the box ofhats. I've received about the same again in the meantime, but the box is in the attic, and
it's dark, so I'll write a separate update on that next week, when I've knitted a few moremyself! The colours are all amazing, such a bright box!

And I finally finished
my Autumn Hat-Heels, just in time for
Winter :D They are
the bestest socks I'veever knitted! The fit is
just amazing! And I
realize now that 56stitches is enough for
my feet, whereas my
calves actually like 60
better. With thesesocks, that's easily
fixed. Next time, I
have to try and pick
up a bit more looselyand cast off more
loosely as well. Butotherwise, love love
love them. The
colours are amazing too. The yarn is Schoppelwolle Admiral Batik, a yarn I willdefinitely use again! I have to find a different supplier though, because I got them from
Wolhemel, and they have sadly stopped trading.

opposed to everywhere else in Europe (well, give or take a few regions), we have hardly
had any snow, and it shows. The ice is as smooth as a baby's bottom, and if I had had
more time and less knee trouble, I'd definitely been out there skating around trying tocatch Sven Kramer in the act. However, I've had to make do with an hour on the Wielen,
a lake just ouside Leeuwarden. We had all gone out for a skate, but first Big S's skates
turned out to be unfit for use, then Batman's 'houtjes' just fell off his boots (still to big)and then Mermaid complained of sore ankles and cold. They must have more Irish blood
running through their veins than Frisian, haha... As it is still freezing here, there might be
a chance of me going out again tomorrow for a quick skate. There are a few greatwebsites up to tell you where skating is safe, so apart from time and laundry nothing is
going to stop me now! (Well, the dodgy knee might... yes, I know, it's that loose weight
thing again).
Have a great New Year's, y'all! See you on the other side in 2011!!!

Update to follow soon...
Yes, I know it's been 2 weeks. Enough has happened in the meantime to blog about, likelots of baby hats, a nearly finished pair of socks for hubby, the difficulties of trying to
design an Estonian scarf after drinking a glass of Chianti, the start of a mini Annis for my
Mermaid... but right now, I have VAT returns to do. End of year and all that. Pictures ofyarn, ice, snowless streets and a lovely Xmas are to come soon! We had a blast, still have
a tummy ache from all the yummy goodies, and can't wait until Friday, when we are
going to Rotterdam for New Year's weekend. We love spending that weekend away, high
up in a hotel room with great views over a great city :)

The other Santa
I totally forgot to show you what I got for Sinterklaas from my Ravelry Dutch RAK
group, bad girl!We had a ball teasing each other, asking silly questions on the forum and then preparing a
package which consisted of something bought, something made and a poem. I made some
Merletto mitts for my 'victim', but first, here is what I got!

The chocolate letter was devoured within minutes after opening... the little yarnies are in
my sock blanket basket and the sock yarn will be turned into socks for hubby soon! Hewas a bit dubious about the colour, but as you can see, they are called 'Men Stretch', so,
even though it's a long 'stretch', they are for 'men'. ;)The scrap letters are great! They will be used up during the holiday period, when I will
(hopefully) have some time to update my photo scrapbook. And then the self-made bag,
it's brilliant! It's got loads of pockets and is handy for a larger project to bring along when
I'm out and about! A big thank-you to my 'Sinterklaas' Sylletje!And this is what I made to send to Yvonne, my 'victim'...

DIY Xmas
So, any ideas what to put in your Xmas tree this year? Had enough of those shiny newglass baubles which cost you a fortune (and always break)? Then go DIY! We are having
great fun this year making our own Xmas decorations; not only am I crocheting and
stapling, but we've also made salt dough figures and are in the midst of turning these intogreat Xmas decorations (most of which will be handed out as gifts - actually our 'Xmas
cards' - as we only have a 5 ft tree). It is great fun - and you can get the kids to help
too! ;)
First, you have to make your dough. Remember, the drying out takes a while, so be sureto make this in advance! We made a double batch, which gives you over 3 trays full of
decorations, but for a 'normal' batch, you need the following:
250g of salt
500g of flour (white, 'patentbloem', not wholegrain, use that for your bread,
please...)
300ml water
2tbsp oil
Mix this all up into firm dough and start rolling. Make them around half a cm thick andthen cut out with cookie cutters. I was in NI a few weeks ago and got these great ones,
which add structure as well as shape (note the cup ;) ). But any Xmassy cookie cutters
will do! Make sure you put a hole in the top for your ribbon. A hole that is BIGENOUGH (I cannot
stress this enough, I'm
afraid, I learnt that
from experience, I'mafraid - luckily we
have superglue...)
After cutting out your
'cookies', put them on
baking paper in theoven (you can put in
several trays at the
time) and then startdrying them out. 2
hours at 80 and then

several more hours at 100. It takes a looooong time. I did put a batch in the microwave,
on the lower settings, but they turned brown and started bubbling at the back. I didn't like
that at all, so I prefer the slow, slow, slow method in the oven. And then just leave themout to dry completely.
When you're left with this...
... call in the
troops to put
on the basecoat! Hubby
helped with
the cutting out
as well, and hethought it was
super duper
fun getting
stuck in thepainting.
When these
are dry, go
crazy! Use
paints, glitter,stick-on stars
and anything
festive youhave to
decorate these
little wonders!

table...
If you'refeeling
adventurous,
you can dothis too: make
little snowmen
or gifts from
the dough.They can
topple over, so
put a little
stick in it tokeep things upright.
These 3D decorationsare mighty heavy
though! (Although
they are super dupercute...)
If you're less of a
baker, get out your
crochet needles! TheGarnstudio Advent Calendaralready had two lovely figures tocrochet, of which I've made this:
There are loads morecool ornaments out
there, both on yarn
company websites,like Lion Brand,
where I found this
one, and Ravelry:
If you like
snowflakes, go the
Snowcatcher's blog.She publishes the
most amazing
snowflakes! I madesome last year, but
they're in the box of
ornaments I haven't
been able to find

(missing the angel as well, of course), with our nativity set.
To make sure we did have some angelic ornaments hanging about the house and in
preparation of putting the proper set in our window, we made this! Our little angel isloving it up in our wee real Xmas tree!
All you need is somecorrugated card,
tinsel, cotton wool
and decoration. Oh,and a stapler, and a
kindergartner to help
you ;)
Have a great Xmas,
and don't forget: it's
not about Santa, it'snot about presents, it's
about the gift andpreciousness of life
and love!
(peace out)

Some lace and a SpokeIt's already been a week ago, but only now have I got some time to blog about theEstonian lace workshop I took last weekend. In the meantime we've been working hard at
removing wallpaper... and then sticking new wallpaper on the walls. It does look a lot
better now, and we hope it will make the house a bit more sellable!Back to the workshop! On invitation ofWereldwol, the twoDutch Knitters came to
Leeuwarden to tell and teach us all there is to know about Estonian lace knitting (in a
day!). The morning started off with a cup of coffee and Madeira cake, while Hilly andCarla told us more about the history of the shawls and showed us some beautiful
examples they knit themselves or bought in Estonia.
The tools, the explanation and the business card... Ready, set,
go!

Hilly and Carla, our teachers, who (I suspect) know more about Estonianlace than the Estonians themselves...
Our knitting table, in the lovely airy and light upstairs room of Pitch 'n Putt in
Zuiderburen (Leeuwarden). A keeper for workshops, according to Marieke
(Wereldwol, bottomright)
We got to work knitting several stitches which are often used in Estonian laces, including
nupps of different kinds. After a sumptuous lunch we had a look at the spreadsheet with
formulas to calculate sizes, stitches and borders (yes, some IT comes in handy!) and then
started knitting the lace border. When the light started to fade outside, we finally got tothe point where that border was sewn on to the shawl. The result was only a small
sample, but it did teach us the basic technique.More piccies of the day (with me in them too ;) on Breimiek's blog.

Some of the samples knit during the workshop
And it tastes of more! Several of us ordered the Haapsalu shawl book and I can't wait
until it arrives. In the meantime, I will be starting a little pattern from the Nancy Bushbookon Estonian lace knitting with the Manos Lace (left over from my Haruni).
As knit by AlliKnit (Ravelry)
Coming home, having all this inspiration and desire to start knitting something new, gave
me the final push to finish my Spoke. I finished the sleeves over the weekend and thensewed up the entire sweater on Tuesday and Wednesday, having it finished just in time for
SnB night. It's a lovely tight fit, but the sleeves are mighty short. I thought they would be
fine, as I have quite short extremities (although a bit wide). But they're more 3/4 sleeves

at the moment... I have enough yarn left to actuall make them long enough, so now I'm
deciding whether the sleeves are fine like this or whether I will cut the yarn just above the
cast-on edge and then just knit them longer until they are as long as I'd really want them.In the meantime, I'll just keep wearing it, so we'll see what my decision will be...
My Spoke, in lovely Drops Alpaca and Drops Delight
A great addition to my wardrobe!

house ready to be sold; it's busy in my head, in our house, in my diary.
So, small projects are best! Preferably projects in stockinette, which are relaxing and not
too demanding. Spoke is slowly but surely getting finished (knitting the sleeves now),while the second hatheel sock is also getting there, but at the moment, I'm knitting these:
Yup, hats. Lots of hats. Very tiny little hats for tiny little babies in India. Save the
Children has a great project on at the moment, with a lovely informative website to go
with it: Brei voor India. Using the very easy instructions andpattern, we have set to work.
Yes, WE! The idea of our SnB group trying to knit enough hats to fill a huge box to sendto the organization in time for Sinterklaas was met with a lot of enthusiasm. With me,
around 20 other moms and grandmoms are now knitting these tiny hats. I hope to show
you the entire collection at the beginning of December, but now it's time to knit a fewmore...
If you want to knit along, please do!!! If you can't read the pattern, mail me. If you can't
knit,donate.Posted by Ammerins at 8:49 PM4 comments:

assistance with some sock knitting. She said she'd love to have homeknit socks, but had
never managed to knit a pair herself. So, Aal and I came to the rescue. Within 3 days of
sending off the yarn, she had her first pair of socks back from Aal. That woman is soamazingly fast!!! My socks took a bit longer, mainly because I had to rip back a few
times. Knitting late at night, having to calculate while knitting, bad lightling... etc... But,
eventually, they did get done!!! I suggested knitting her some Skew socks, as with theself-striping yarn she sent me, I thought the effect would be super cool. And it turned out
great, even though I was a bit miffed to see that the colour depth was not the same
throughout the ball of yarn. Luckily this only becomes really apparent in the leg part,which most people have under their trousers ;)
A few pictures of the socks still here...
See the difference?
And here are the socks on the happy feet of the recipient, Marianne...

A boy who can draw. He was never interested in drawing. The best we could get out of
him was scratches all over a piece of paper. And then all of a sudden, it clicked, and we
were treated to this.Drawing number 1, still a bit tentative, but definitely a Batman with long wings/arms and
two ears:
And then the
floodgates
opened, hereis granny,
sporting here
new post-
chemo shortcropped hair
(which,
according to
our wee man,should be red,
but is nowgrey):
A turtle:
And then a
picture of one
of his daycareteachers who
is leaving,
with himself (Iasked him
why he only
drew one eye,and he
explained he
drew himself
in profile - 'Iam drawing
myself like
this [he turnedsideways], that is why
there is only one eye')
holding her hand. And of course a bright yellow sun:

Bye bye stash....I have sooo much, and the school was in dire need of more yarn... So, this morning, this
left our house. A whole box full of yarn, acrylics, ribbon yarn, wool, all different colours,
and lots of needles! Kids, enjoy!!!
