Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

♥ Romantic Tour in Town ♥

Earlier this evening I decided to stroll a bit round town and take some new snaps of the island, the castle, cafe and the lake and cottage. Hope you will enjoy it! Unfortunately weather was not very inviting!

~ Cool but Sunny ~


A cool, but sunny morning today! What a joy! My Springhat is halfway done, only the top is still missing. Up til now I am quite satisfied with this design. Colours are really pretty....

Simple, but Beautiful ...

Some time ago I received a skein Noro yarn as a present. Can't remember the name of this Noro wool, was not on Noro's homepage either, but it is lovely, has a fine change of colours and a seagreen shimmering Lurex thread inbetween. Not too many meters in this skein and to show off the beauty of this yarn, I decided to make this simple comforter out of it. Ever since it's done I wear it often! It is nice and warm and can be used for more festive events as well. .... enjoy your weekend! Y

Foto Safari #11

It's been long since my last entry to www.petuniablogg.blogspot.com Foto Safari! But finally, here's my 11th pic: a frontdoor with rainbow in hip Hamburg-Altona. Hope you will enjoy it!?
Further I have to show off these pix I found on Ravelry! I hope the owner will forgive me, but this is such a great work! And what an idea..... all my compliments to you!!! Y

This just needs to be shown! I have seen a few that do lifelike animals such as snails, corals, fish, octopus etc., but never this size! You see, I am still thrilled .....

* New Wool * More Ideas *

This is a yarn, a unique skein, I just purchased. Now I wait for it's arrival. I am quite mad about patterns like this....
... so I need more yarn that has changing colours. The effects are gorgeous!!! So I keep on knitting while weather is just horrible: wet snow is falling heavy and it is cool and windy. Fortunately the snow melts off..... see the weather in Berlin today! Unter den Linden in sunshine and some folks are out already to sell their (old) books along the way (see the very right corner of the snap)! Wish I could be there now! So many nice, sometimes antique, books are for sale there. And the entire surrounding has a special athmosphere.....

Winter will not let go *****

It just starts to snow again, large flakes that will probably not remain on the ground, but who knows....it is cold and I woke up with finding a layer of frost on the roof! Winter will definitely not move away from us yet!
For Karin: I have not a sock- or mittseating washing machine *grin*. Here you can see both mitts! My machine is quite new; maybe one day she will be starting to eat socks and other small items ..... though I hope not ..... have a nice day! Y

Stormy Day Mitts ♥

Yesterday was a bad-weather-Sunday: storm, rain.... and today it's going to continue like this and it's even worser. We will have snow again, so it is announced. The wind is icy still, so I made this mitts out of Zitron Trekking Sockyarn. It has beautiful changes of colours, so it is very effective and quite a pity to be used for socks - and in shoes - only! Mitts look a little complicated, but they are not; one mitt was ready in 2 hours (with dinner inbetween)
The dog wants to go out, no matter what kind of weather we have. So we made a tour round town and again I had to stop at my fave flower shop. Found these cute froggies swimming in a basin in the window and just had to show them off.... what a cute idea
