Now what did I want to say?

Quite a lot actually. Let’s start with the FO of the week:

That’s Caroline. Well OK it’s a ‘Lace & Button Shawl’ from the Quick & Easy Knits Section from Simply Knitting. But easy projects deserve a pretty name, too (And yeah it’s named after her. apparently I’m that much of a political geek, but the colour is simply so fitting ^^).
Yeah and strictly speaking it’s not completely finished: The buttons are missing. I was thinking about buying some here but at home we have four or five boxes with buttons and I’m not in that much hurry to finish it.

More pictures (in slightly better quality) behind the cut

please ignore the chaos on, beside and under my bed.

I also bought new knitting books…because I don’t have enough *sighs*

Actually I only wanted to order Knitting Green and Anticraft, but evil am.azon suggested also the Domiknitrix (which I have been pulling in and out of my shopping-basket for ages) and the Cute Crochet (which is simply well…cute) and I couldn’t resist *sighs*. So far I can say that they are all awesome

I’ve also signed up for the Harry Potter Knitting & Crochet House Cup on Ravelry. And I’ve been sorted into Slytherin, which was quite a surprise (but hey: we’ve hotties in our dungeon ^^) and I’ve submitted my first OWL-proposal ignoring the fact that this other university also asks me to do stuff.

And that was nearly everything. Well everything knitting-related. But there is something slightly completely Off-Topic I have to mention. It is this blog-post by the great Stephen Fry. If you intend to vote in any election, no matter if the General Election in the UK, in NRW or anywhere in the world, read it. Yes it’s seven pages but considering the Do I vote?/For whom will I vote? is actually quite a major desicion you can really spare these 20-30 minutes.
