Eight things about me
My Candle Flame Shawl is almost finished and I have started on a red knit cap for Kristofer. He asked me to knit him a hat just like the one that Willem Dafoe wears in the film “Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou“. That was almost two years ago… so I hope he still wants to wear it once it is finished. You can get an idea of what it will look like in here.
My brain is totally fogged with sleeplessness. All I can crank out of it is lists. So here it goes - ten things you did not know about me (edit: well, eight really….sorry) :
- I love to feel the surface I walk on. As soon as I come home I throw away both shoes and socks and walk around barefoot.
- Books are probably my second passion after knitting. I love reading and can get completely engulfed in a story. Right now I am reading “The Best a Man Can Get” by John O’Farrell, which might not be a wise choice considering my fragile new mom state.
- Or, music might be my second passion. I can never make up my mind about this. Our home is rarely silent during the days. You are welcome to view my musical profile at Last.fm
- I love to dance around to music when nobody is watching. Well, just my family because they all hop around with me. Is that weird?
- I truly belive I can sing, when I sing along to a beautiful song. But when the music stops it does not ever sound as good as I thought it would. Hmm…
- A balanced healthy nature is very important to me and I try to make ecological choices whenever possible.
- I know the names of many trees, flowers, birds and wildlife. Probably because I grew up in the middle of a forest. I hope to teach my kids some of this knowledge.
- I love my family more than I can describe with words. Each and every one of them in their special way.
I hope your are all having a great weekend!
My Candle Flame Shawl got a few rows bigger, thats all. I just love knitting the Candle Flame! The pattern is easy to remember and has enough variation to keep me interested. It also helps that it looks more complicated than it actually is. Sitting there, knitting happily, I made a quick list of a few new projects. Not that I have the patterns or the yarn to start with the list. It might be absolutely necessary to purchase a new fabulous book and some luscious yarn, do you not agree?
