Chicken-pox
Oh, yes. After a week off because of Sára being ill, she went to kindergarten - for one day. The next day she had itching spots all over her body. Chicken-pox. I was waiting for this to happen, but still, it was kind of a shock.
The good news are:
- Sára has taking it easily. Of course she’s itching, but no fever, and she is lively as a bird.
- Two weeks off work - again. I don’t mind it at all. My boss is in panic, but she is always, so I don’t really care. Life will go on without me for two weeks.
- I will have time to spring-clean the house, which needs a serious cleaning. I choose knitting instead of cleaning too many times.
- I will have time for knitting, and doing a few things for the next WAMP. I will skip the one in May, because it is going to be two days long, and I can’t afford the table fee at the moment. June will be the next, and this means enough time to prepare.

My first colorwork was the hat I have published here in one of my first posts, and ever since I keep thinking about making something coloured again. But this time something different. Fair Isle is something that requires more confidence than I’ve got so far.
And guess what I have found:
Yes. Amazing, isn’t it? It doesn’t [...]
I was going to write about celebrity knitting, but then I saw that there is a lot of articles in this topic. So I dropped the subject. The one I’m going to write about it now is animals in knitted/crochet gear. I know, there is a lot of articles about this too. But I still [...]
Now, if you have all kind of knitting needles (or at least a few of them), and wonder what to do with them, or how to use them at all, there are a lot of helpful sites, where you can learn knitting. From the basics, to the more advanced techniques, there are help for every [...]
Yesterday evening I immediately started a bag, which is actually a crochet bag, and it is in a bowling bag style. It is going to be smashing! No pictures yet, but I will add one when it is worth it, or you will be able to see a decent progress. I make it in brown [...]
