wiwo wednesday vol. 4

I made some progress on my buttercup sweater. I'm almost done with the first skein and I hope to finish the lace border today and separate for the body.

So far it looks a little... messy? but I hope am sure that it'll look lovely once it's blocked.

I'm done with part A of the bolt statement and started part B. There are some holes where I picked up stitches for part B which I don't like too much. Hopefully they won't be noticeable once blocked!

Since I didn't make any progress on my current sock project I thought I'd share a home decor project I'm working on. After living in this apartment for almost two years I finally started hanging some art and photos. It's still far from perfect / done but it's nice to to stare at an empty wall when I wake up in the morning. The wall is gonna be yarn/knitting inspired. I plan on adding a weaving project, too! (once I built myself a loom...)

How are your wips coming along?

spring decorations

It's still freezing cold where I live and it's hard to believe that, according to the calendar, it's spring already. But Easter is already in a couple of days!
We found the cute knitted bunny at the h+h last week and couldn't resist adopting her (we decided it's girl). We gave her to my dad who's currently recovering from his hip replacement surgery in Hamburg.

The big, fluffy sheep is from a store in Cologne that closes. It was a real bargain and I have a hard time resisting cute sheep like this one. The rest of my 'decorations' is just stuff that has been sitting on my kitchen table since I packed away all the Christmas stuff. It might not be appropriate to have a hen and a bright pink and green flower sitting on the table in January, but that's all I have for now. I'll put 'make winter decorations' on my to do list for next winter.

The pink tulips didn't last long because my kitty thought it was fun to bite off the petals and spit them out in various parts of the apartment. (Not to mention the leaves she would eat and throw up five minutes later...)
Note to self: no more tulips within kitty reach.
