Random Joy – About Yarn, Needles And Angels

crocheting

I am so thankful that yarn exists on this planet. What would I do without it? I don’t even want to imagine.

Working with yarn always takes me into a different dimension – a calm one where everything is slow, quiet a peaceful… pure heaven.

These are some of my recent yarn-involving, bliss-inducing experiences…

 

crocheting

Trying a new colorful pattern for a cowl. This was really relaxing.

For the first time in my life, I knitted with short circular needles.

Oh, and by the way, I really enjoyed this short break from crocheting.

Also, I was quite surprised by how smooth and easy it is to work with this kind of needles. They seem to be just the perfect thing for cowls.

 
 

yarn-and-perfume

Would you like to hear a little secret of mine? Yes? Well… sometimes, just for fun, I spray the skeins of yarn with a few drops of my favorite perfume.

Have I mentioned other dimensions before? Then this takes you even further…

And now for something completely different. Actually, not that much, really…

I have long been an admirer of famous Icelandic knitting and especially their sweaters. As I found out lately, the sweaters are made using long circular needles.

The result?

I looted the nearest craft shop soon after and left the shop people completely bewildered and needle-less.

We are talking investments here… Investments? It is very important! And I like investing. A lot!

See, this is what I’m talking about!

 
 

crocheting

My new secret project. I am addicted already. You will see the result soon.

 
 

feeding-angels

And this is the last thing that I wanted to show you today… It was only recently when I learned that angels like to feast on water that has evaporated near a burning candle.

So if there are any angels near me, which I firmly believe there are, I’d just like them to be well fed… I am also a food blogger, after all…

Have a lovely day!

With love,

Petra

    I love to knit and it is what I mostly do as I have only recently learn’t to crochet.
    So at the moment I seem to be only crocheting!! It is really nice to take a break from one of them so you don’t get bored! Do you find that crochet is much quicker than knitting? And well done, on using circular needles, I struggle with them! Not sure why?

    Loving your blog! X
