Riche January
I arrived back 2 weeks ago from my my first holidays since I started my new job : two weeks, during which I went to Brussels, and Thailand. What a funny mixture isn't it? As I was meeting a very good friend in Thailand, but not before the thursday meaning I would be travelling from the wednesday, I prolonged the holidays, and could make a long week end in Brussels. Not enough to see everyone, but still enough to see some of them and get the taste & feel of the belgian capital which was my adoptive city for more than 4 years. We also met up with Violaine, and I could witness how adorable as ever the little Jade is :-)
Too quick though, it was time for me to get on the train back to France, and to airport Charles de Gaulle...the arrival in Bangkok was a total change of...everything. Thailand was so unexpectedly exotic to me. Maybe because I didn't prepare the trip at all? The friend I was meeting had already visited Bangkok main sites, but she had planned everything, and did them again with me :-).
Some pictures :
AND, I was able to travel with my superlight sweater, loved it!
Once there, of course, it was too warm ;-)
But now I am again wearing it, a LOT. It is really an easy wear jumper, less tham 100 gr, too!
Yesterday I finished the scarf I had started just before leaving. But I'm not so happy with the cast off :
I love the stitch (Old Shell Border Pattern) and that the scarf has a little bit of a vintage look...But I do not like the no-wave of the cast off row. Is it possible to get the starting waves at both sides By knitting from both sides, and grafting...has anyone done it? I would love to know...
I also subscribed to the Debbie Abrahams' mystery blanket club . I am still knitting the january squares, but I already recieved the february package. Addictive knitting!
