An old box


 A while ago I received a nice surprise in my mailbox.  Dear Yael from PazzaPazza sended me this old cigarette box filled with old Gütermann silk sewingthread in bright colors. 
What a delight!


I did not use these bobins at the moment of receiving, due to lack of time and inspiration. 




Thank you Yael, for arousing my crochetpassion!

Minimalism


 Minimalism in materials: just a crochet needle, some real silk thread and a metal ring.



 Minimalism in implementation

At bit of this and a bit of that


 Perfect spot to have a coffee after a long beach walk with a splendid view : www.twinsclub.be



 
Art in the dunes : Beaufort 2013


  Poodle-club-walk : cute!

  

Discovery: wild rucola in the dunes! (called grote zandkool)
Very tasty!


Finished the summer scarf. Still very useful, as temperature doesn't rise above 14 to 15° C here for the moment.


  Kitchengarden@home - update 09th of May - slowly but surely things are growing.


First salad from the garden@home!

Kitchen Garden Volkstuin update


  Actual state end of April.




The sjalots are doing fine! 



Plum-, pear-, and appleblossoms ... promising!


As a birthday present my husband received this ... doesn't look very appealing, and it smells not a all heavenly but with some patience and care this should turn into a breedingplace for shiitake mushrooms.

Today we tasted the first salad out of our kitchengarden@home!

Broomstick lace knit




 First attempt into making a triangular stole, but it stayed an attempt ...


  Found some Drops Lace baby Alpaca to combine with the Lana Grossa Merino so the total color turned out a little softer.


Knew only the Broomstick lace crochet, but googled and found the 'knit'-version of this stitch. 
You can find a nice tutorial here


 And of course, got some 'help' from my personal knitting assistant.
