bei oma und opa

B plays "einkaufen"

S helps out in the kitchen

hey look, we have cousins!
Oh yes, the boys are having fun at oma and opa's. So much fun that I've even gotten some knitting done.

My current project is a secret project. Shhhh... people are listening. But I can tell you that it's stripey and colorful and lots of fun to knit. The yarn has a long history too. I originally spotted it on sale last january at one of my favorite yarn stores, Wild & Wooly. I let it go and Kerstin picked it up. We didn't even know each other then, but our similar taste in sale yarn brought us together! Well her project didn't succeed in the end and she generously passed the yarn on to me. And now I've finally found the right project for it. Here's a sneak peek of my progress so far. That's all I can show you until after Christmas. Sorry! But don't worry, there's at least one other vacation project planned, so I'll be able to post more progress pics once I start that one.

Hey, I recognize that yarn! But I have to wait until after Christmas??? I still remember the shock of reading your site and how you passed up the yarn I had just picked up. doo doo doo dooo! I'm glad the rightful owner got her yarn in the end. :)
you all look remarkably un-jetlagged and oma and opa seem extremely well prepared for hosting small guests! I love the colours of the secret project, lovely.
Thanks for the sneak preview of your secret project (whatever it is, it stripes are a great combination of colors). Looks like you and boys are having fun (knitting time - yeah!!!).

Hmmm. That yarn looks strangely familiar. Haven't I run into you at W&W? - Kim
Oooh... that looks gorgeous! I love the colors, and can't wait to see the finished project! I'm thinking it will be worth the wait.
