Long Time No See

First my laptop was broken. And then I was just too lazy to post…

So let’s start with a FO I finally finished over Easter:

Yes it’s a TARDIS…and yes I’m addicted to Doctor Who. I started that over a year ago, even before I went on my ERASMUS-year to Northern Ireland. I thzen took the WIP with me, when I went there, and continued to work on it. Then I ran out of yarn (for some reason I could knit the firstb two side-panels with one skein but only 1 1/2 with the second…). Obviously I couldn’t get the same yarn I had bought in Germany over in NI. So it wandered in the UFO-pile and I intended to take it back to Germany when I flew home for Christmas, buy the yarn there and finally finnish it.
I flew home, bought the yarn and realised that I had forgotten the parts back in Belfast…so instead I took the yarn over when I flew back, finnished it, took the parts back again when I came home for Easter and finally finished it completely there.
Yeah so this TARDIS has already got lots of air-miles.

More stuff with more pictures behind the cut.

I took a break from the cardigan…the pattern managed to bore and annoy me at the same time. So instead I used some stash-yarn that had been lying around for ages and now I’m using it for a lace-shawl I found in the April-issue of Simply Knitting:

That’s Opal-yarn btw. It’s from their ‘Mexico Country Colour’-Range and the colourway’s ‘Ireland’ (and now I have no idea what Mexico’s got to do with Ireland either)

And last but not least: a friend from Italy surprised my with this nice package:

Aren’t they awesome? Now I need some nice one-skein projects for bulky yarn. I already searched on Ravelry a bit and the pink one down left might become a mobius wrap.
