This week's bounty so far ...

Look what's growing in my garden ...

A toddler td raglan!

It was fun to knit! Except for the ruffles, I don't think I'm a ruffles kinda girl :-) The main yarn is a German sock yarn with an added new!improved! artificial fibre called ... *polycolon*. What *were* they thinking when they named it?!

... and a froggie!

It was supposed to be matched with an identical twin to become a thick potholder, but I don't think it's large enough to be a potholder. But it's kinda very very cute, so I'm playing with the idea of giving him many brothers and sisters to start a commune which might make a pretty table mat or something ;-)

Feeling out of the loop ...

I managed to sneak half an hour for some blog-reading today. I miss following up with all my friends, seeing all your lovely knitted and non-knitted creations and getting inspiration from you!

I can't *wait* to get my life back! Right now things are pretty crazy but hopefully for a good reason. There's a job offer, and unless there is yet another snafu we should be moving ... in about three weeks' time! It'll be total bliss to be settled after two long years of uncertainty and living out of bags. And I will have the time and energy for creativity again. And also a proper working computer rather than this wreck which is so slow that I can't surf at all, hence missing my usual blog round :-/

Back online!

Sorry for being gone so long without posting ... We were in the Netherlands again, and now it looks like there's really good big news :-) I'll be posting more later!
