Our Creative Space and a New Family Member


These pictures are actually from a while back but I forgot to blog them :)
Here is mum knitting this top we have in the shop.


Instead of knitting the black and white together (and seeing them through making it grey-ish), mum came with the genius idea of knitting with a gazillion yarn balls, making her crazy in the progress...


Well she did finish it eventually but she had to un-knot the mess every few rows, it was madness really and took ages :)


Aaaand we have a new adopted family member, just when we got to 9 doggies we are back at double digits... she is crazy and seems to be already the head of the pack, she has an attitude but is also very sweet. Her name is Truusje, something very Dutch, but she got the nickname of 'crazy melon' because of her crazy movements and round belly :)

  1. Oh, I would have gone mad with having to unknown that many yarn balls frequently.

  7. Looking at that top it and the end result, it is so much better she did not mix the black and white. But I understand that the yarn getting tangled was not nice at all.
    Welcome to Truusje!
