We are basically just plugging away at our respective careers here in Cologne. Jeremy, as you know, is super fancy, and maybe if you ask him real nice, he will explain what he is doing himself. I am going to ballet class more or less everyday, working on the show for February (this entails a lot of jumping around in the apartment and talking to myself), riding my bike to the grocery store twice a week, etc., etc., etc. All of this routine seems so appropriate in the fall, no?
Anyway, here is a picture of some knitting that I finished in April from the yummy sock yarn Karen gave me:
Now it is cold enough to wear them again, and my calves are so happy to be coated in wool. As you can see, I tried to be a little fancy with my lacey-seam design.Right now, I am learning fair isle knitting- it's fun!
I also feel it is my duty to tell everyone about the wondrous joy that is shopping at etsy.
It's a site where people sell their handmade and unbelievably cool items (silkscreen t-shirts, pottery, art prints, jewelry, etc). I've bought presents for people on the site three times, and every experience has been great. This last time, I requested that the price not be included in the box because it was a birthday gift, and the artist emailed me to ask if I wanted a hand-written note included! What service! Vive le reverse industrial revolution!

knee highs from one ball? I knew you had tiny feet but...anyway yay they look super fancy! I even clicked to embiggen the picture. Almost as fancy as Jeremy-help a sister out with the blogging!
Thanks Karen! Indeed, my feet are so small that I can't buy shoes in this Teutonic country.
Your socks look very nice. My ceramic dish is beautiful!
