A short update

Finally a small update from us. Since my last post I was very busy with university and had very little time for knitting. That's why I don't have a new bunny finished (still need to sew it together and finish the dress). Mum's still knitting socks and helping me with the bunnies but I didn't get around to taking any new photos.

I've recently read about guerilla knitting on a blog and wondered why I had never seen it before. A few days later I saw this on my way to uni (sorry for the bad quality photos, I only had my mobile phone with me):

Guerilla häkeln 1 Guerilla häkeln 3 Guerilla häkeln 5

Guerilla häkeln 2 Guerilla häkeln 4

A small but effective way to decorate the street signs. I guess this is guerilla crocheting and not knitting but I still like it, of course. I was so excited when I saw this on my way to uni (was walking to an exam at 7:30 in the morning, a small miracle I even noticed it).

Do you like it? Have you ever seen guerilla knitting/crocheting before?

I'm staying in Germany with my boyfriend for the next two weeks so I'm not sure how much knitting I'll get done but I'll keep you posted. :)

Sonja, the Christmas bunny

Yesterday I finished Sonja, the little Christmas bunny :D.

Christmas Bunny

Knitting the dress was really complicated! My boyfriend's never going to get a norwegian sweater I fear.

Named after one of my friends: Sonja

Christmas Bunny

She is made from 50% Merino/50% Acrylic yarn. Her dress is 100% cotton.

My parents and I also drove to our allotment/community garden to winterize it. On the way there you can see the cutest alpacas. This time we stopped to take a closer look at them. They are so funny, especially the one with the crooked teeth:

Our dog was a bit scared, she instanly wanted to get into the car again (she doesn't like driving).

The sun was shining yesterday but it was a bit wet and cold.

Autumn colors are gorgeous:

We collected the garden gnomes and put them safe inside the patio.

Sushi

Yesterday evening my best friends and I had some sushi in the city. All I can say is: DELICIOUS!!!

I absolutely love sushi and maki <3 The lampions in the restaurant create such a lovely atmosphere:

A beautiful weekend...

I spent the weekend in Munich with one of my best friends. She visited family there and kindly took me along. Of course we visited the city centre and although it was a bit cold the weather was very sunny. Munich is a beautiful city! We drank hot mead at Viktualienmarkt and then ate some sushi - delicious!

A lovely weekend!

At Starnberg lake:

I knitted during the drive and the next bunny will hopefully be finished tomorrow!
