Ohhh...it was a very difficult week....Two ill little ones at home, good weather outdoor...and no chance to enjoy it...we were like staying at home all the weekend and playing, reading, cooking... but, really, we were just doing nothing. And it felt quite good....
I have knitted these socks for my mother... it is her birthday soon...and because she is like really freezing all the time... here they are... her bed- socks!
Pattern: Land Lust 6/11
Yarn: Alaska DROPS
And no, the vest is not ready....I had to start again....it is really annoying when you have to unknitt what was already done, because of such a stupid thing like....it was too small (wink)...
Unknitting or frogging (but in this case it sounds too funny for me) is a strange thing...it makes you think, think about your failures, think about yourself, about leaving it and starting something new, about giving up this whole knitting....but then, you realize you WANT to do it once again, you want to show you can do it, you want to cope with problems and ....win! Unknitting is giving us a lesson....it makes us stop, rearrange, learn and...it helps us practise our patience....
Reading is really something that makes my family happy! We have plenty of books in few languages and our kids are growing up in readers atmosphere. So it could just not be different...they just love books! And what is better you can do when you are ill, your nose is full, you have sore throat and your head seems like too explode any second? You read! No, you make your mum read!Or your dad of course!
I found this book at the last flea market...it is like new and it is such a nice book. I enjoyed it maybe even more than my daughter. Because it is about life, about looking for something new, something extraordinary and then, it is about going back to where you came from and living your life with passion, love, stronger commitment...
It is a book about everything I really needed this week....
