Christmas Parties
POSTED in: Daily Life, Knitting

I spent the whole weekend doing nothing but going from one Christmas party to another. I drank way too much Kinderpunsch (which is alcoholfree punch, and tastes like hot sugared water). Yesterday evening some work collegues and I went to our Christkindlmarkt, and it was insanely packed. So many Italiens. I cant see what anyone thinks is special about our Christkindlmarkt, its expensive, and they are selling the same stuff everywhere anyway. Not to forget: no snow. But it was fun! Even though we were all shoving each other from one place to another.

I did not get anything done, except the first pair of socks (am I such a slow knitter? they took forever!), which turned out awesome I think, but no photo until past Christmas. I am going to start the next pair hopefully today, Conwy Socks, from Knitting On The Road, which was like the only pattern that calls for the same gauge that Opal Rainforest Tiger gives me. They will go to my brother, if I get done.


Sadly, I will definitly not get done with everything, and I am going to head off shopping again today, which is frustrating as I really would have preferred handmade things, but the things will be postboned, not cancelled.

Maybe I am going to bake the first Christmas cookies of the season tonight after Uni, hopefully. 🙂

Becka, thank you so much for the awesome Christmas Card, and I love stickers, THANK YOU!
