Eén van de problemen met de kas is dat hij op het hoogste punt slechts 1.9 meter hoog is. Dat is grappig, want dat ben ikzelf ook. Niet heel erg praktisch dus ( Read more... )

We hadden al lang gezien dat de tuin veel te groot, of ons raamkozijn veel te klein is om alles voor te zaaien achter glas.
Inmiddels zijn de meeste zaailingen naar de tuin verplaatst, maar een aantal staan nog te genieten van dagelijkse nevel en een lekker zuidelijk georienteerd zonnetje.

With the Sock Madness over for me, and only a very intricate sock on the needles, I needed to return to Sprig. A simple stockinette is just the thing for post-dinner Netflix and chilled knitting ( Read more... )

We love our handknits and after finishing that project you've been working so hard on, the pictures are always amazing ( Read more... )

In het kader van onleesbare onspelbare woorden hebben we vandaag: de compostoplossing ( Read more... )

In my post-Sock Madness rush to knit anything but socks from the Madness, I've picked up the vanilla sock I started on a while waiting for the Madness to start. A small skein of 48 grams of sock yarn shouuuuuld be enough for a pair of socks with contrast heel, toe and cuff, right? The logic behind this thinking was that if I have 48 grams of yarn ( Read more... )

I'm keeping a logbook of what I do in the garden, and stuff has been progressively growing larger. Mostly stuff that we acquire (buy, get donated, assemble) and things that need to be moved to the garden ( Read more... )
