March 13th sitrep

Stash forces are advancing on both the knitting and the sewing front - in other words: I’ve been shopping. But I also finished something:

Ann Budd’s Seduction Socks in Regia silk 4-ply, col. 098. So I guess it’s a draw between me and the stash, at least for today.

So proud

Bayerische Socks (pattern by Eunny Yang)

I’m so proud of myself (am I allowed to say so in public?): I finished Eunny Yang’s Bayerische Socks. Finished, blocked, picture taken, finally done! They’re my second entry for the Sock Knitters Anonymous February Sockdown KAL on Ravelry, and I finished them before the deadline (March 31st), with time to spare. I’d never have thought, considering the first eight pattern rows took me 2 hours…

This pattern is so pretty, go out and knit yourself a pair. You will find it here and here.

Brunswick Finds

We took a friend to the Panzermuseum in Munster yesterday, and on the way back we also went to Brunswick to look at the Napoleonic period items in the Braunschweigisches Landesmuseum. Apart from the uniform of the Black Duke which you’d somehow expect to be presented there we also found some other things that will make a reenactor’s day: A camp bed that belonged to the the Duke’s father, a campaign chest holding the china, glassware and cutlery of four officers, an interesting sash and a dress I’d like to have a closer look at. The downside: We only had half an hour to look around before the museum closed and had left the camera in the car, so there are no pictures - yet.
