The blue pulli

I finished the blue pullover I knitted out of Rowan's all season the color Remote.

Pictures are -once again- shot by Dinara. Thank you again.

Haircut

I also managed to get my hair cut last week... Dinara shot a few pics of it on our friday meeting. Here they are

Dinara is such a talented photographer... she made me look much better than I really do...
Oh and here is me and Christopher on Saturday:

Dinara, thank you... these picture will be my favorites!

WWKIP day

I didn't post all week, because there was nothing much to post about. No word jobwise... We did had some lovely knitting meetings, and I finally have pictures to show!


We also organized a meeting on Saturday the World Wilde Knit In Public day... We choose a place where there is a small playground so I took Chris with me.


These pictures were shot by him, so forgive me for the quality they are the tryings of a seven year old...

The day started out rather cold and cloudy, but for the afternoon it was lovely. Sunny and not too hot... At the evening we went to a concert of a band where Kriszta's hubby plays. It was fun!!!

seven year old

my son that is... unfortunately the weather didn't really cooperated, all days the possibility of rain hanging over us, closing out the ZOO, and I thought the Palace of Miracles wouldn't be the best idea for sunday with a not so nice weather, because there would be wayyyy to much kiddos there...I did managed to take him to IKEA on saturday. I wanted to take a look at the plastic storage boxes (I need to dosomething about my stash). Sunday, I cooked, knitted and baked Chris's BD cakes. Two of them. One of them is to go to the ovoda(kindergarten) and a smaller one for home. OK, they are still rather rustic looking, but here they are:

And here are some pictures of knitting. the swatch I did a week or so ago for the purple beaded shrug:

I've deceided to knit it with the short bamboo needles, but the package haven't arrived yet...

And the second act of the butterfly story... it is a happy story, so much I made the same pattern twice in very rapid succession...here are some pics of the white linen/cotton version:

By now it is dry. I hope it will not take me too long to sew it toogether and crochet the picot edge around it. (That is something I still haven't did for the blue one.)

There was also nice advancement for the yoga wrap, now I am at the point when I have to figure out if I should to the whole for the sleeves here or one repeat later...then I have to figure out just how to so the holes for the sleeves.

Accident...

My father had been in an accident with his morbike... He is OK, more or less though, he has his shoulder dislocated/and broken, he needed an opreation to put it back and screw it toogether. Ad I haven't even knew about it until two days later. He called me himself though, but obviously he was in lots of pain...Appearantly somebody was breaking wery suddenly, therefore he breaked to and the first wheel blocked, and as the bike slided down to the left he fell on his left shoulder I keep thinking about him, how long it is going to take him to heal, how long he will not be able to fly... and of course the selfish me... that how will this effect me, and my plans, and his willingness/ability to help me, if I could push this separation through somehow...

On a lighter note...here is a few picture from our friday knitting lunch:
Pictures are curtesy of Dinara (in the purple top). Kriszta is on the right side, me in the beige pulli and sunglasses (not to mention the red hair) and on the left side is Genia (if that is the right spelling, sorry dear...)

Long time no post...

But I am still alive... let me see what happened. Tuesday P. and Ch. came home. Up until the moment the rung from the gate downstairs I felt OK, but from then on...In five minutes P. managed to make me feel, small, inadequate, and some more... I don't really know how he manages it, and why the heck still I care...
Wednesday lovely meeting with the knitters, sending back a dry croissant and getting faboulous eggplantcream instead...
Thursday afternoon after many times putting it off I finally started the translation, just to have to drop it, because... There is a lady I bought some yarn from many months back on e-bay, and when we were discussing shipping she said she would come to Hungary on a tour in early summer if I don't mind waiting for it she would bring it to me. Somehow the dates were messed up in my head, I was kind of thinking they would come next week, but she called me on Thursday. They are here on a very busy organized trip, so it was hard to find time to meet up, unless I dropped everything, and jumping on the bike I went over, which was what I did. They were lovely people, the lady even brought a book for a present for Ch., which was nice... I felt sorry we didn't had more time.
When I got back I really started on the translation.which went rather well. And even though I have to admit it wasn't the samertest idea, (umm shall I admit it was rather insane), but I kept doing it until it was finished... at six AM. It felt good to be done with it though. For friday I had a knitting meet up, and after work the goodby party for one of my favourite collegaue, and I promised Ch. I would be with him on Sat. and Sun. I would have hated to have it in the back of my mind that I still have this or that many pages...
The friday knitting meeting was great, but it is that always. We have a new member, a girl from Russia, Siberia in fact. So the club is really getting international...Work was rather slow, so I managed to knit, just to have to frog it back... the butterfly top needs to be decreased for the waist shapig, so why did I increased instead???

new week, new month...

I amstill wondering what will it bring, but it is out of my hands now, so I am calm(er) about it. I still haven't even mentioned it to P. as I don't want him to tell me why I shouldn't do it (he always does this) and then be snug if I do not get it, and later throw it in my face (which is his usual way). On his BD pressie I deceided to go the middle way I got him a book, "The secret of water" by that japanese man who took those amazing pictures of the watermolecule in containers that had words printed on them, and what a difference between the one that had hate and the one that had love written over... fascinating. Ch. did ask me why didn't I got a bigger present for his dad, and I told him, because I didn't got ANYTHING last year, not even a happy birthday, and when the next day I asked him that really this was all he planned to celebrate my 40th he said "hah! celebrate? You do not deserve any celebration!"... I should have known that he would rush to his faaather asking why did he do it, and he simply denied it. He said that something is wrong with my memory, and the usual... but he simply DENIED it. It didn't happened. I asked him "ok, then tell me just what did you gave me", and of course he couldn't say... Why the heck do I try to be nice to him still???

Onto more positive things. I got a translation from the trainers last week... I must have left positive impression, to have them trust me with this... I gave them a very sensible price though, and if it turns out well both of us will be happy...
And I met with my Ravelry knitting friends. We had lunch which was great. And since Dinara said that she is going to met with a girl from Russia who might join us I asked if I can come along, she was happy to agree... All turned out great because I could give the cafe as the meeting place for the trainer to hand the translation over... So friday all turned out well.
On the knitting front, the cotton-linen version of the Butterfly dress seems to fly off my needles, I finished the lace edges, and the bodice of the front...
