A lot of knitting going on around here, since I stowed away those carving tools…
Mainly I'm trying to finish a few delayed projects, starting with my Nightingale Vest based on a pattern by Helga Isager.
This project is a bit like chewing gum, one of the most demanding I've been making, but working with this beautiful yarn and with high expectations on the outcome, I've been hanging in there.
Weaving in ends and pondering over the right buttons, I am looking forward to showing you the result soon.
Looking through all these knitting pictures on Instagram yesterday, I realized that my weekend has been all Sesame and Poppy Seeds.
And indeed I am very much in love with these colours at the moments, being well served by these beautiful yarns by Frida Fuchs, Isager Strik, Holst Yarn and Rosy Green.
Talking of Poppy Seeds.
If there's one (cook) book that I can recommend you this week, or any time actually, it is Die Gute Küche: Das österreichische Standardkochbuch. Altough it does not come along as fancy as all the latest fancy coffee-table-cook-books it contains a vast treasure of basic (Austrian) recipes.
There is not a single one that I have ever been disappointed with.
