The Strangest Rule

February 19, 2013 by zoomyummy

white yarn, crochet hook and colorful living magazines

(Photography Project 365 – Day 50)
I have noticed a rule. A rule that keeps appearing in my life. Again and again and again… Always!
So I ask… Why is it that no matter how much yarn I have in my stash at home I always miss that one particular color that I ‘need’? The one that is in my favorite yarn store? The store where there’s this lovely mug store on the way there? And a lovely flower shop too? This is what I ask.
Have you observed a similar pattern repeating in your life?
This is strange.
Love,
Petra

Random Joy – About Yarn, Needles And Angels

August 28, 2012 by zoomyummy

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.

knitted-cowl

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…

long-circular-needles

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!

colorful-yarn

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
