Warning: Contains Crab, Wild Wolves and Knitting

So we’re back. And the vacation was great even though the weather wasn’t as good as it could have been. Tiny Wolf got a cold of course. But she spent more time being wet than dry, really. And she just loves water (in German we say “Wasserratte” to kids like that). Little Wolf can swim now. Actually, I should say, he… Read more »

Papa Wolf's socks still in progress

Just a short post this week. I’m sick – again – and don’t have much energy for anything. I had wanted to show you the finished pair of Papa Wolf’s socks but… Well, I’m still not finished. It’s crazy how long it takes me to knit a pair of socks now. I used to knit them up in a couple… Read more »

Brioche in Montreux with coffee

Welcome to my little corner of the internet which just so happens to be another knitting blog. And every now and then non-knitting related things will likely also find their way into this blog. I’ve loved knitting ever since I came back to it in late 2007 (I used to knit a little as a kid). At first, I just… Read more »
