Shetland

What about Shetland? you may ask. Well, the thing is that ever since Ruth Sørensen told me about her trip to these far away islands I've wanted to go there myself. So April next year I'll pack my knitting bag and go to 'the island of knitting'. I plan to stay there for an entire week; Moe will be in Germany anyway, so no guilt there ;)
Apart from going and then go back home a week later I haven't really made any plans. I was hoping to go by ferry but it seems that's no longer possible, so a flight to Frankfurt, then Edinburgh and then Lerwick it is. I might rent a car when I get there. And where will I stay? You tell me - I hope to find a nice, small a not too expensive b&b. Let me know if you are a Shetland b&b expert :) My time will be spent knitting, searching for other knitters, buying yarn, and enjoying the fact that there's nothing else to do :) Oh, I almost forgot, I will probably go for a few runs. I'll be participating in the Hamburg Marathon on April 26, you see.

Knitting Heaven

About two months ago I joined the ravelry.com community. My long lost friend, Lise (aka Pindsvinet) pointed me in the direction of knitting paradise. I cannot believe that I hadn't discovered the world's best online site aaaall by myself, since I do spend a great deal of time on the famous Internet :)

Well, well, it's not really important who found ravelry.com or how it was found - I'm just glad I'm now a member of this timeconsuming club! Thanks, Lise!
